First National Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

 

 

STRASBURG, Va., October 26, 2023 --- First National Corporation (the “Company” or “First National”) (NASDAQ: FXNC), the bank holding company of First Bank (the “Bank”), reported unaudited consolidated net income of $3.1 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.50 for the three-months ending September 30, 2023. This compared to net income of $3.5 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.56 for the three-month period ending June 30, 2023, and net income of $4.5 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.71 for the third quarter of 2022.

 

THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

 

Key highlights of the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, are as follows. Comparisons are to the linked quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, unless otherwise stated:

 

●

Net interest margin stabilized at 3.35%

●

Noninterest-bearing demand deposits comprised 33% of total deposits

●

Deposits were stable at $1.2 billion

●

Loans increased $22.3 million, or 10% annualized

●

Efficiency ratio of 70.67%

●

Return on average equity of 10.96%

	●	Return on average assets of 0.91%
	●	Nonperforming assets increased to 0.23% of total assets
	●	Tangible book value per common share totaled $17.38, up $2.07 from one year ago

 

“We are pleased with the Company’s performance during the third quarter considering we operated in a challenging interest rate environment,” said Scott C. Harvard, president, and chief executive officer of First National. “The interest margin stabilized during the period as higher earning asset yields offset the higher cost of funds. The Bank’s deposit portfolio, which is comprised of a high percentage of noninterest-bearing deposits, also mitigated pressure on deposit costs during the period. Although nonaccrual loans increased during the quarter, we believe that asset quality remains excellent, with nonperforming assets remaining at historically low levels. Loan growth continued at an annualized pace of 10% during the third quarter, bolstered by the addition of new bankers. We will continue to remain vigilant around credit quality, as well as loan and deposit pricing, as we navigate the impact of Federal Reserve actions on the economy.

 

NET INTEREST INCOME

 

Net interest income decreased by $62 thousand, or 1%, to $10.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to the linked second quarter of 2023. Total interest income increased by $345 thousand and was offset by an increase in total interest expense of $407 thousand.

 

The $345 thousand increase in interest income was attributable to a $754 thousand, or 6%, increase in interest income and fees on loans, which was partially offset by a $421 thousand, or 55%, decrease in interest income on deposits in banks. The increase in interest income on loans was attributable to a 14-basis point increase in the yield on loans and a 2% increase in average loan balances compared to the linked quarter. The decrease in interest income on deposits in banks was attributable to a $31.9 million, or 56%, decrease in average balances of interest-bearing deposits in banks compared to the linked quarter.

 

The $407 thousand increase in interest expense was attributable to a $408 thousand, or 12%, increase in interest expense on deposits. The higher interest expense on deposits was attributable to a 20-basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.82%, and was partially offset by an $8.3 million, or 1%, decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The increase in the cost of deposits was primarily a result of changes in the composition of the deposit portfolio. During the third quarter, savings and interest-bearing demand deposits decreased, while time deposits increased.

 

The net interest margin stabilized at 3.35% as the cost of funds increased 14-basis points, which was almost entirely offset by a 12-basis point increase in the yield on earning assets. Although the interest rate environment continued to be challenging during the period, the net interest margin stabilized as the rising cost of deposits slowed to a pace that was aligned with rising earning asset yields.

 

Net accretion of discounts on loans acquired through business combinations was included in interest income and fees on loans and totaled $61 thousand in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $194 thousand in the second quarter of 2023.

 

NONINTEREST INCOME

 

Noninterest income totaled $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2023, which was a $169 thousand, or 6%, increase compared to the second quarter of 2023. Service charges on deposits, ATM and check card fees, wealth management fees, and income from bank-owned life insurance increased over the linked quarter and were partially offset by a decrease in fees for other customer services.

 

 

 

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

 

Noninterest expense increased $626 thousand, or 7%, in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the linked quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to a $316 thousand, or 6%, increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $106 thousand increase in other operating expenses, and a $234 thousand increase in other real estate owned (income) expense. While other real estate owned expense totaled only $15 thousand for the third quarter, the Bank recorded a gain on the sale of other real estate owned during the prior period, which resulted in $219 thousand of other real estate income for the prior period ending June 30, 2023.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to an increase in the number of employees and higher variable compensation during the third quarter.

 

ASSET QUALITY

 

Overview

 

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.23% on September 30, 2023, compared to 0.05% on June 30, 2023, and 0.15% one year ago on September 30, 2022. Loans past due greater than 30 days and still accruing interest as a percentage of total loans also increased to 0.19% at September 30, 2023, compared to 0.13% at June 30, 2023, and 0.27% at September 30, 2022. Net charge-offs totaled $83 thousand in the third quarter of 2023, compared to net recoveries of $96 thousand in the second quarter of 2023, and net charge offs of $111 thousand in the third quarter of 2022. The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $8.9 million, or 0.93% of total loans at September 30, 2023, compared to $8.9 million, or 0.95% of total loans at June 30, 2023, and $6.3 million, or 0.69% of total loans at September 30, 2022.

 

Nonperforming Assets

 

NPAs increased to $3.1 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $722 thousand at June 30, 2023, and $2.1 million at September 30, 2022, which represented 0.23%, 0.05%, and 0.15% of total assets, respectively. The increase in NPAs during the third quarter of 2023 was related to two individually evaluated loan relationships. The following table provides a detailed summary of NPA balances at the periods ended (dollars in thousands):

 

		September 30, 2023				June 30, 2023				September 30, 2022
Nonaccrual loans		$	3,116			$	677			$	566
Other real estate owned, net			-				45				1,578
Total nonperforming assets		$	3,116			$	722			$	2,144

 

Past Due Loans

 

Loan past due greater than 30 days and still accruing interest increased to $1.8 million, or 0.19% of total loans at September 30, 2023, compared to $1.2 million, or 0.13% of total loans at June 30, 2023, and $2.4 million, or 0.27%, of total loans at September 30, 2022. Of the total past due loans still accruing interest, $370 thousand was past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2023, compared to $226 thousand at June 30, 2023, and $306 thousand at September 30, 2022.

 

Net Charge-offs (Recoveries)

 

Net charge-offs totaled $83 thousand for the third quarter of 2023, compared to net recoveries of $96 thousand for the second quarter of 2023, and net charge-offs of $111 thousand for the third quarter of 2022. 

 

Provision for Credit Losses

 

The Bank recorded a $100 thousand provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2023, which was comprised of a $121 thousand provision for credit losses on loans, an $8 thousand recovery of credit losses on unfunded commitments, and an $13 thousand recovery of credit losses on held-to-maturity securities. This compared to a provision for credit losses of $100 thousand for the linked second quarter of 2023, and a provision for loan losses of $200 thousand for the third quarter of 2022.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

 

At September 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $8.9 million, which was unchanged from the allowance on June 30, 2023, and an increase of $2.6 million over the allowance totaling $6.3 million on September 30, 2022. The allowance was unchanged compared to the linked quarter as an increase in the specific reserve component was offset by a decrease in the general reserve component. The specific reserve increased from two new individually evaluated loan relationships, while the general reserve decreased from lower expected losses and from an improvement to a qualitative factor.  The Bank improved the portfolio nature and volume qualitative factor, which was initially used to recognize the inherent risk of loans acquired in the third quarter of 2021 through business combinations. The Bank determined this qualitative adjustment was no longer considered necessary as of September 30, 2023.

 

The following table provides the changes in the allowance for credit losses on loans for the three-month periods ended (dollars in thousands):

 

		September 30, 2023				June 30, 2023				September 30, 2022
Allowance for credit losses on loans, beginning of period		$	8,858			$	8,717			$	6,202
Net (charge-offs) recoveries			(83	)			96				(110	)
Provision for credit losses on loans			121				45				200
Allowance for credit losses on loans, end of period		$	8,896			$	8,858			$	6,292

 

The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans totaled 0.93% on September 30, 2023, compared to 0.95% at June 30, 2023, and 0.69% at September 30, 2022. Additionally, the net discount on loans acquired through business combinations totaled $2.0 million at September 30, 2023, $2.1 million at June 30, 2023, and $2.7 million at September 30, 2022. The net discount on purchased loans was not included in the allowance for credit losses on loans.

 

 

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments

 

The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments totaled $189 thousand at September 30, 2023, compared to $197 thousand at June 30, 2023. The recovery of credit losses on unfunded commitments totaled $8 thousand for the third quarter of 2023 and was included in the $100 thousand provision for credit losses reported on the Company’s consolidated income statement.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses on Securities

 

The allowance for credit losses on securities totaled $131 thousand at September 30, 2023, compared to $144 thousand on June 30, 2023. Recovery of credit losses on securities totaled $13 thousand for the third quarter of 2023 and was included in the $100 thousand provision for credit losses reported on the Company’s consolidated income statement.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

Liquidity sources available to the Bank, including interest-bearing deposits in banks, unpledged securities available for sale, at fair value, unpledged securities held-to-maturity, at par, eligible to be pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank through its Bank Term Funding Program, and available lines of credit totaled $532.1 million at September 30, 2023, and $561.7 million at June 30, 2023.

 

The Bank maintains liquidity to fund loan growth and to meet potential demand from deposit customers, including potential volatile deposits. The estimated amount of uninsured customer deposits totaled $346.9 million at September 30, 2023, and $343.0 million at June 30, 2023. Excluding municipal deposits, the estimated amount of uninsured customer deposits totaled $268.4 million at September 30, 2023, and $257.7 million at June 30, 2023.

 

BALANCE SHEET

 

At September 30, 2023, assets totaled $1.4 billion, which was an $8.0 million decrease from the linked quarter ended June 30, 2023. The asset composition changed slightly as interest bearing deposits in banks and securities decreased $21.4 million and $10.3 million, respectively, while loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, increased $22.3 million.

 

Total assets decreased $17.4 million, or 1%, compared to total assets at September 30, 2022. Interest bearing deposits in banks and total securities decreased by $20.0 million and $33.2 million, respectively, and were partially offset by a $43.4 million increase in loans, net of the allowance for credit losses.

 

Loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, totaled $943.6 million at September 30, 2023, which was a $22.3 million, or 10% annualized, increase from June 30, 2023, and a $43.4 million, or 5%, increase over September 30, 2022. The growth in loans over the periods did not have a significant impact on the composition of the loan portfolio. The loan portfolio was primarily comprised of loans secured by one-to-four family residential real estate, loans secured by commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans, which totaled 36%, 45%, and 12% of the loan portfolio, respectively, at September 30, 2023.

 

Deposits totaled $1.2 billion at September 30, 2023, and decreased $7.2 million from the linked quarter ended June 30, 2023. The deposit composition changed as noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $7.6 million, and time deposits increased $8.2 million, while savings and interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $23.0 million during the period. 

 

Deposits decreased $30.9 million when compared to deposits one year ago as of September 30, 2022. The deposit composition changed over the prior year as noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased from 34% to 33% of total deposits, savings and interest-bearing deposits decreased from 55% to 52% of total deposits, and time deposits increased from 11% to 15% of total deposits over the period.

 

Shareholders’ equity totaled $112.0 million at September 30, 2023, which was a decrease of $881 thousand from June 30, 2023. The decrease in total shareholders’ equity was primarily attributable to a $2.2 million increase in retained earnings, which was offset by a $3.3 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net. The Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.15 per common share during the third quarter of 2023, which was unchanged from the first and second quarters of 2023. The Company’s common equity to total assets ratio and its tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio decreased slightly at September 30, 2023, compared to June 30, 2023, and increased compared to the capital ratios at September 30, 2022. The Bank is considered well-capitalized.

 

The following table provides capital ratios at the periods ended:

 

		September 30, 2023				June 30, 2023				September 30, 2022

⁽¹⁾ The efficiency ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense excluding other real estate owned income/expense, amortization of intangibles, gains and losses on disposal of premises and equipment, and merger related expenses by the sum of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis and noninterest income, excluding gains on sales of securities and gains on other investments.  The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides investors with important information regarding operational efficiency.  Such information is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be construed as such.  Management believes; however, 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.

 

⁽²⁾ Capital ratios are for First Bank.

 

⁽³⁾ Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned.

 

⁽⁴⁾ Tangible book value is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangibles from total shareholders' equity. Tangible book value is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides investors with important information that may be related to the valuation of common stock.

 

⁽⁵⁾ Capital ratios presented are for First National Corporation.

 

⁽⁶⁾  The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, or TCE ratio, is calculated by dividing consolidated total common shareholders’ equity by consolidated total assets, after reducing both amounts by goodwill and other intangible assets. The TCE ratio is not required by GAAP or by bank regulations, but is a metric used by management to evaluate the adequacy of the Company’s capital levels. Since there is no authoritative requirement to calculate the TCE ratio, our TCE ratio is not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures disclosed or used by other companies in the financial services industry. Tangible common equity and tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

⁽⁷⁾ 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 21%. See the tables above for tax-equivalent net interest income and reconciliations of net interest income to tax-equivalent net interest income.
