Charlottesville, VA – November 4, 2016 – Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (OTCQX: VABK) (the “Company”) today reported third quarter 2016 net income of $1.4 million or $0.59 per diluted share. This represents a 66% increase compared to net income of $839 thousand or $0.34 per diluted share recognized during the third quarter of 2015. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, net income was $4.3 million, a $2.2 million or 111% increase over the amount recognized for the same period in the prior year, and net income per diluted share was $1.79 compared to $0.79 per share for the same period in 2015.

Rust, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our focus continues to be on improving our interest and noninterest income as we provide more products and services through both Virginia National Bank and VNB Wealth Management and on continuing to manage our expenses through streamlining operations, making the most efficient and effective use of our technology and maximizing the efficiency of our staff.”

Page 1 of 7

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income of $4.5 million increased $107 thousand from the $4.4 million in the sequential quarter. Average earning assets for the third quarter of 2016 totaled $533.8 million, an increase of $19.7 million from the prior quarter total of $514.1 million. Net interest income improved $361 thousand or 8.6% over the $4.2 million recorded in the third quarter of 2015. An improved mix in earning assets contributed to the improvement in revenue, as average loans increased $45.3 million while the average balances in lower yielding investments and fed funds decreased $33.0 million from the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2016.

The third quarter 2016 tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.41%, a decrease of 9 basis points from 3.50% for the prior quarter. Compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the tax-equivalent net interest margin improved 19 basis points from 3.22%. The yield on average earning assets of 3.59% for the third quarter of 2016 was 18 basis points higher than the same period of 2015, resulting in the margin improvement. The cost of funds of 18 basis points remained fairly consistent and low compared to peers.

Noninterest Income Expands

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2016 was $1.4 million, up $163 thousand or 13.0% compared to the second quarter of 2016 and up $191 thousand over the third quarter of 2015. Gains on sales of securities of $181 thousand contributed to the quarter-over-quarter increases. Brokerage income of $106 thousand for the quarter contributed to the quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases.

Noninterest Expense and Efficiency Ratio

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2016 was $3.8 million, an increase of $62 thousand or 1.6% as compared to the second quarter of 2016. In a year-over-year comparison, total noninterest expense of $11.4 million was down $1 million or 8.5% from the $12.4 million reported for the first nine months of 2015, driven by $989 thousand of savings in salaries and employee benefits. Management continues to evaluate expenses for potential reductions that would have a positive impact on net income on an ongoing basis.

The efficiency ratio improved to 63.8% for the third quarter of 2016 compared to 65.7% for the second quarter of 2016 and 76.0% for the third quarter of 2015. The improved asset mix from the loan growth experienced last year, together with additional noninterest income prospects, should add to the revenue stream, while cost containment and reduction strategies should control expenses. This combination should continue to improve the efficiency ratio over time.

Balance Sheet Trends

Gross loans outstanding totaled $430.9 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $424.6 as of the prior quarter-end and $390.1 million at September 30, 2015. Average gross loans for the third quarter of 2016 totaled $422.6 million, up $3.2 million or 0.8% compared to $419.4 million during the second quarter of 2016 and up $45.4 million or 12.0% compared to $377.2 million during the third quarter of 2015.

While loan balances increased modestly by $7.2 million during the first three quarters of 2016, the significant loan growth in each of the five quarters ending December 31, 2015 continues to strengthen earnings for 2016. From the $289.6 million outstanding at September 30, 2014, gross loans have increased $141.3 million, or 48.8%, due to approximately $77.9 million in net organic loan growth, supplemented by purchases of $27.0 million in syndicated loans and $36.4 million in student loans. The loan-to-deposit ratio at September 30, 2016 stood at a strong 87.0%, a 5.3 percentage point improvement over the 82.7% at September 30, 2015.

Total assets at September 30, 2016 were $569.5 million, an increase of $23.8 million or 4.4% from $545.7 million at June 30, 2016 and up $20.7 million or 3.8% from the $548.8 million reported at September 30, 2015. The year-over-year net growth in assets was funded largely by expansion within all core deposit categories, while time deposits and repurchase agreement sweep balances contracted over that period.

Credit Quality Remains Strong

The Company continues to adhere to strong credit metrics. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.76% at September 30, 2016, compared to 0.75% at June 30, 2016 and 0.90% at September 30, 2015. The decreased balance in the allowance relative to total loans compared to a year ago is reflective of a combination of the lower net charge-offs during the prior three year period and the Company’s movement in the second quarter of 2016 from a historical loss rate methodology to the more complex migration analysis, which is a more robust method and will better equip the bank to comply with upcoming regulatory changes. Concurrent with the change in the allowance methodology, the loan portfolio was further segmented by loan classes and by risk ratings to provide greater loan level detail. Management believes that this new methodology together with greater data granularity will more accurately identify the potential risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

A provision for loan losses of $104 thousand was recorded in the third quarter of 2016, while a recovery of $395 thousand was recognized for the first six months of the year, for a net recovery of $291 thousand through the first nine months of 2016. A provision for loan loss of $88 thousand was recognized for the third quarter of 2015. Net loan charge-offs totaled $12 thousand for the third quarter of 2016 and $29 thousand for the third quarter of 2015. This resulted in an allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2016 of $3.3 million, an increase of $92 thousand or 2.9% from June 30, 2016. In a year-over-year comparison, the allowance for loan losses decreased $235 thousand or 6.7% over the balance at September 30, 2015.

Nonperforming assets remained low at $173 thousand or 0.03% of total assets. The level of nonperforming assets, comprised of Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) and nonaccrual loan balances, contracted $612 thousand compared to the balance at September 30, 2015. Since year-end 2015, the Company has carried a zero balance in OREO, as the property carried at $540 thousand as of September 30, 2015 was sold. Nonaccrual loans remained low and totaled $173 thousand at September 30, 2016, compared with the $179 thousand and $245 thousand at June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively.

Shareholders’ Equity and Stock Repurchases

Total shareholders’ equity was $59.3 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $58.1 million at June 30, 2016 and $56.4 million at September 30, 2015. Retained earnings contributed $4.3 million to the year-over-year increase of $2.9 million in total shareholders’ equity, with accumulated other comprehensive income accounting for an additional $268 thousand. These increases were partially offset by the $1.7 million decline in common stock and capital surplus balances.

The year-over-year decline in common stock was attributable to the Company’s success with its stock repurchase program approved during the third quarter of 2014, which authorized the purchase of up to 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company announced on September 21, 2015 that its Board of Directors extended the program for another year. A total of 343,559 shares have been purchased since the beginning of this program. No shares were purchased by the Company during the third quarter of 2016; however, a total of 78,347 shares have been purchased since September 30, 2015. The repurchase program expired in September 2016.

The book value per share at September 30, 2016 was $25.02, compared to $24.60 at June 30, 2016 and $23.15 at September 30, 2015. Dividends of $308 thousand were declared during the third quarter of 2016, while the remaining net income of $1.1 million or 77.9% was retained.

Capital ratios continue to be well in excess of regulatory requirements for well-capitalized banks. The Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 10.24% at September 30, 2016, compared to 10.37% at June 30, 2016 and 10.09% at September 30, 2015. Total Risk-based Capital Ratio was 13.04% at September 30, 2016, compared to 13.21% at June 30, 2016 and 13.85% at September 30, 2015.

¹ The net interest margin and net interest income is reported on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE), using a Federal income tax rate of 34%.
² The efficiency ratio is computed as a percentage of non-interest expense divided by the sum of fully tax equivalent (FTE) net interest income and non-interest income. This is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides investors with important information regarding operational efficiency. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate them differently.
