“During the third quarter, our banking company delivered solid performance while adding new potential sources of revenue and growth. We are excited about our entry into Harrisonburg and the greater Augusta County markets through the addition of First Mortgage and a new commercial loan production office,” said Scott C. Harvard, President and CEO of the Company and the Bank. “Double digit growth in noninterest-bearing deposits since year-end, three consecutive quarters of loan growth, and double digit growth in wealth management income validate our commitment to service driven by our philosophy that People Matter.”

Third Quarter Earnings

Net income totaled $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2014, which was unchanged compared to the same period of 2013. The return on average assets was 0.95% for the third quarter compared to 0.92% for the same quarter one year ago, and the return on average equity was 8.65% compared to 11.44%.

Net interest income totaled $4.8 million for the quarter, compared to $4.6 million for the same period one year ago. The net interest margin was 3.92% compared to 3.68% for the third quarter of 2013. Revenue from wealth management fees increased by $88 thousand, or 22%, and other operating income increased by $49 thousand, or 57%, comparing the third quarter to the same period one year ago.  Increases in other operating income included income from bank owned life insurance that increased by $35 thousand, or 51%, to $103 thousand for the quarter compared to $68 thousand for the same period one year ago.  These increases were partially offset by losses on securities transactions totaling $91 thousand. Total noninterest income increased by $29 thousand, or 2% comparing the same periods.

Noninterest expense increased by $105 thousand, or 2%, to $4.8 million for the quarter compared to $4.6 million for the same period in the prior year.  Salaries and employee benefits increased by $257 thousand, or 11%, and other operating expenses increased by $173 thousand, or 28%. Increases in salaries and employee benefits were impacted by the launch of First Mortgage, a new division of First Bank that began operations in May, along with the addition of a chief credit officer and three experienced commercial lenders. Increases in other operating expenses were primarily attributable to higher bank franchise tax from higher levels of capital, recruiting expenses, and additional expenses relating to the launch of the new mortgage division. These increases were partially offset by a $275 thousand decrease in expenses from other real estate owned and a $99 thousand decrease in FDIC assessment expense, comparing the third quarter to the same period one year ago.

 
 

 


 
The Bank recorded a recovery of loan losses totaling $100 thousand during the quarter, which resulted in a total allowance for loan losses of $9.7 million, or 2.59% of total loans at September 30, 2014.  The recovery of loan losses was primarily a result of a decrease in the specific allocation from the improvement and resolution of certain impaired loans during the quarter.  This compared to a provision for loan losses of $275 thousand and an allowance for loan losses of $11.9 million, or 3.24% of total loans, at the end of the third quarter of 2013.

Year-to-Date Earnings

Net income totaled $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $2.5 million for the same period of 2013.  The return on average assets was 1.00% for the period compared to 0.62% for the same period one year ago, and the return on average equity was 9.41% compared to 7.48% for the same period in 2013.

Net interest income totaled $13.8 million for the period, compared to $13.9 million for the same period one year ago.  The net interest margin was 3.82% compared to 3.73% for the same period of 2013.  Noninterest income, excluding a one-time gain on termination of a postretirement benefit, increased by $378 thousand, or 8% when comparing the periods.  Revenues from service charges on deposits increased $378 thousand, or 24%, and revenues from wealth management increased $217 thousand, or 18%, when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the same period of 2013.

Noninterest expense decreased $604 thousand, or 4%, to $13.9 million for the period compared to $14.5 million for the same period in the prior year.  Expenses from other real estate owned decreased by $797 thousand and the FDIC assessment expense decreased by $326 thousand, or 46%.  These decreases were partially offset by increases in expenses that included other operating expense, which was $213 thousand, or 10%, higher than the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and salaries and employee benefits, which was $243 thousand, or 3% higher than the same period one year ago.

The Bank recorded a recovery of loan losses totaling $700 thousand for the period.  The recovery of loan losses was primarily a result of a decrease in the general allocation from an improvement in the historical loss experience and improved asset quality.  This compared to a provision for loan losses of $2.5 million for the same period of 2013.

Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2014, the Company’s total assets were $519.3 million, total loans were $374.9 million, and total deposits were $438.9 million. Due to three consecutive quarters of loan growth, the Company’s cash balance decreased in order to fund new loans. The Company also experienced an improvement in the deposit mix with higher levels of non-interest bearing deposits compared to lower levels of time deposits. Both of these changes had a favorable impact on the net interest margin.

Capital and Asset Quality

Substandard loans decreased by $11.0 million, or 35%, to $20.1 million at the end of the third quarter compared to $31.1 million for the same period one year ago.  Nonperforming assets decreased to $10.5 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $11.8 million one year ago, and troubled debt restructurings decreased to $796 thousand from $834 thousand, comparing the same periods.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $14.0 million to $57.6 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $43.6 million one year ago.  The book value per common share was $8.77 at the end of the third quarter.  Regulatory capital ratios were higher than previous periods, with the total risk-based capital ratio at 18.91% at September 30, 2014.

(1) The efficiency ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense excluding other real estate owned expense, loss on land lease termination and net losses on disposal of premises and equipment by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and noninterest income excluding gains and losses on sales of securities and gain on termination of postretirement benefit.  Tax equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit realized from interest income that is nontaxable to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The tax rate utilized in calculating the tax benefit is 34%. See the table above for the quarterly tax-equivalent net interest income and a reconciliation of net interest income to tax-equivalent net interest income.  The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides investors with important information regarding operational efficiency.  Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be construed as such.  Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operational performance, but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP.
