WARRENTON, VA, February 4, 2013 -- Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FBSS) parent company of The Fauquier Bank (TFB) reported net income of $453,000 for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with $911,000 for the fourth quarter of 2011.  Basic and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $0.12 compared with $0.25 per share in the fourth quarter of 2011.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, net income was $2.7 million compared with $4.1 million for 2011.  Basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $0.73 compared with $1.12 for 2011. The decrease in year-to-year earnings was primarily attributable to an increase of $3.3 million to the loan loss provision and $1.1 million decrease in net interest income; partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in noninterest expense.
 
Randy Ferrell, President and CEO stated, “Our solid core earnings were overshadowed by an increase of $3.3 million to the loan loss provision from 2011 as we aggressively addressed the three largest impaired loans in our portfolio towards the end of the 2012, one of which was fully resolved.  We believe the sooner we work through these two other problem loans, the sooner we can be refocused on maximizing profitability.  I’m proud of our associates’ efforts to reduce expenses and pursue additional revenue opportunities during this current banking environment of lower net interest margins and the ever increasing regulatory changes and expenses.”

Return on average assets was 0.31% and return on average equity was 3.70% for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared with 0.59% and 7.63%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2011.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, Fauquier Bankshares' return on average assets was 0.46% and return on average equity was 5.58%, compared with 0.69% and 8.93%, respectively, for 2011.
 
Net interest margin decreased to 3.60% in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with 3.87% for the same period of 2011.  Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased $567,000 or 10.4% when compared with the fourth quarter of 2011.  The net interest margin was 3.85% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared with 4.00% in 2011.  Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased $1.1 million, or 5.2%, over the same period in 2011.  Interest income continues to be adversely impacted by the extended low interest rate environment as yields on earning assets decline from previous quarters.  The average yield on earning assets decreased 46 basis points while the cost of funds decreased 22 basis points from the fourth quarter 2011.
 
The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.4 million compared with $462,000 for the fourth quarter of 2011.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, the provision for loan losses was $5.2 million compared with $1.9 million for the same period in 2011.    Allowance for loan losses was $6.66 million or 1.47% of total loans at December 31, 2012, compared with $6.73 million, or 1.47%, at December 31, 2011.
 
Net loan charge-offs were $3.3 million in the fourth quarter 2012 compared with $616,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011.  The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 0.73% compared with 0.13% for the same period in 2011.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, net charge-offs were $5.3 million or 1.16% of average loans compared with $1.5 million or 0.33% of average loans for 2011.
 
“Because we added $5.2 million to the loan loss provision during 2012, we were prepared for the $1.1 million and $2.8 million in loan charge-offs taken on the three problem loans in the third and fourth quarters, respectively.” Ferrell said.  “Because appropriate actions were taken in 2012 with reserves and loan charge-offs, the Bank is better positioned from a credit quality perspective.”
 
Nonperforming assets totaled $13.8 million or 2.29% of total assets at December 31, 2012, compared with $6.7 million or 1.10% as of December 31, 2011.  Included in nonperforming assets at December 31, 2012 were $11.7 million of nonperforming loans, $1.8 million of other real estate owned and $325,000 of nonperforming corporate bond investments.  Included within the $11.7 million of nonperforming loans were $3.2 million with a U. S. government guaranty.  In 2012, no impairment losses were recognized for the investment in the four corporate bond investments compared with $189,000 in 2011.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2012, Fauquier Bankshares’ Wealth Management Services (WMS) division revenues were $1.73 million compared to $1.64 million a year earlier, an increase of 5.9%.  Assets under management for WMS at December 31, 2012 increased 12.2% to $328.6 million compared with $292.9 million a year earlier.

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, decreased $95,000 to $1.57 million for the fourth quarter 2012 compared with $1.67 million for the same period in 2011.  Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, decreased $163,000 to $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $6.4 million for the same period in 2011.  The majority of the decrease is directly related to a decline in service charges on deposits, partially offset by an increase to trust and estate income.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter 2012 decreased $884,000 or 16.1% to $4.6 million compared with $5.5 million for the same period in 2011.  A majority of the decrease, $667,000, related to other real estate owned (OREO) provision or loss booked in 2011 while in 2012 there was no OREO provision or loss taken.  Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased $2.2 million or 10.4% to $18.7 million compared with $20.9 million for the same period in 2011.  Salaries and employee benefits and other consulting expenses decreased because of our continued efforts to manage operating costs. Additionally, there was a $1.1 million decrease in the loss on the sale or impairment of OREO properties from the prior year.

“As a result of reduced incentive compensation, improved retail branch operating efficiency and no OREO properties added to our books, we saw a $2.2 million decrease in noninterest expense in 2012.” Ferrell said.  “Our efficiency ratio was 67.64% for 2012 compared with 72.05% in 2011, a positive reflection of our efforts to reduce expenses.”
 
Total assets were $602.0 million at December 31, 2012 compared with $614.2 million at December 31, 2011.  Total loans, net were $445.7 million at December 31, 2012 compared with $452.1 million at December 31, 2011.  Total deposits were $515.1 million at December 31, 2012 compared with $530.6 million at December 31, 2011.  Transaction deposits (Demand & NOW accounts) grew $20.6 million to $280.3 million at December 31, 2012 compared with $259.7 million at December 31, 2011, representing 54.4% of total deposits.
 
Shareholders’ equity increased to $48.4 million at December 31, 2012 compared with $47.6 million at December 31, 2011.  The Company’s regulatory capital ratios continue to be deemed “Well Capitalized” by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.  At December 31, 2012, the Company had a leverage ratio of 9.23%, compared with 8.70% one year earlier.  The tier 1 and total risk-based ratios were 12.60% and 13.85%, respectively, at December 31, 2012, compared with 12.05% and 13.31% at December 31, 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.
