Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company” or
“Atlantic Union”) (NYSE: AUB) reported net income available to
common shareholders of $22.2 million and basic and diluted earnings
per common share of $0.25 for the second quarter of 2024 and
adjusted operating earnings available to common shareholders(1) of
$56.4 million and adjusted diluted operating earnings per common
share(1) of $0.63 for the second quarter of 2024.
Merger with American National Bankshares Inc. (“American
National”)
On April 1, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of
American National. American National’s results of operations are
included in the Company’s consolidated results since the date of
acquisition, and, therefore, the Company’s second quarter and first
half of 2024 results reflect increased levels of average balances,
net interest income, and expense compared to its prior quarter and
first half of 2023 results. After purchase accounting fair value
adjustments, the acquisition added $2.9 billion of total assets,
including $2.2 billion of loans held for investment (“LHFI”), and
$2.7 billion of total liabilities, including $2.6 billion in total
deposits. The Company recorded preliminary goodwill of $282.3
million related to the acquisition.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded an
initial allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) of $18.5 million that
consisted of an allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) of
$17.1 million, which included a $3.9 million reserve on acquired
loans that experienced a more-than insignificant amount of credit
deterioration since origination (“PCD” loans), and a reserve for
unfunded commitments (“RUC”) discussed below. The Company also
recorded a $13.2 million reserve on purchased non-credit
deteriorated loans (“non-PCD” loans) established through provision
expense, which represents the CECL “double count” of the non-PCD
credit mark, and a $1.4 million RUC through the provision for
credit losses.
The Company incurred pre-tax merger costs of approximately $29.8
million during the second quarter of 2024 related to the American
National acquisition.
“Atlantic Union delivered solid operating metrics in the second
quarter, which is the first to include the financial impact of our
merger with American National, which closed on April 1st,” said
John C. Asbury, president and chief executive officer of Atlantic
Union. “During the second quarter, we successfully completed the
core systems integration over Memorial Day weekend, and now operate
as one brand across our footprint. We believe the combination
positions us well to deliver differentiated financial performance,
increases our density and market power in central and western
Virginia, and expands our franchise into contiguous markets in
southern Virginia and in North Carolina.
Operating under the mantra of soundness, profitability, and
growth – in that order of priority – Atlantic Union remains
committed to generating sustainable, profitable growth, and
building long-term value for our shareholders.”
NET INTEREST INCOME
For the second quarter of 2024, net interest income was $184.5
million, an increase of $36.7 million from $147.8 million in the
first quarter of 2024. Net interest income (FTE)(1) was $188.3
million in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $36.8 million
from $151.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increases in
both net interest income and net interest income (FTE)(1) were
primarily the result of a $2.8 billion increase in average interest
earning assets, partially offset by a $2.2 billion increase in
average interest bearing liabilities, in each case primarily
related to the acquisition of American National. For the second
quarter of 2024, the Company’s net interest margin increased 28
basis points to 3.39% and the net interest margin (FTE)(1)
increased 27 basis points to 3.46% compared to the prior quarter,
primarily due to the impacts associated with the American National
acquisition. Earning asset yields for the second quarter of 2024
increased 34 basis points to 5.96% compared to the first quarter of
2024, and the cost of funds increased by 7 basis points to 2.50%,
due to changes in deposit mix as depositors continued to move to
higher yielding deposit products.
The Company’s net interest margin (FTE) (1) includes the impact
of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments. Net accretion
income related to acquisition accounting was $14.3 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $602,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2024, with the increase due to the American
National acquisition. The impact of accretion and amortization for

ASSET QUALITY
Overview
At June 30, 2024, nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) as a percentage
of total LHFI was 0.20%, a decrease of 3 basis points from the
prior quarter and included nonaccrual loans of $35.9 million. This
decline in the NPA ratio was primarily due to the effects of the
American National acquisition, and the approximately $2.2 billion
of LHFI acquired in that transaction. Accruing past due loans as a
percentage of total LHFI totaled 22 basis points at June 30, 2024,
a decrease of 10 basis points from March 31, 2024, and an increase
of 6 basis points from June 30, 2023. Net charge-offs were 0.04% of
total average LHFI (annualized) for the second quarter of 2024, a
decrease of 9 basis points from March 31, 2024, and consistent with
June 30, 2023. The ACL totaled $175.7 million at June 30, 2024, an
increase of $23.9 million from the prior quarter and included the
initial ACL related to the American National acquisition of $18.5
million, as well as the impact of loan growth and the impact of
continued uncertainty in the economic outlook on certain
portfolios.
Nonperforming Assets
At June 30, 2024, NPAs totaled $36.1 million, compared to $36.4
million in the prior quarter. The following table shows a summary

Past Due Loans
At June 30, 2024, past due loans still accruing interest totaled
$40.2 million or 0.22% of total LHFI, compared to $50.7 million or
0.32% of total LHFI at March 31, 2024, and $24.1 million or 0.16%
of total LHFI at June 30, 2023. The decrease in past due loan
levels at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 was primarily within
the 30-59 days past due category and driven by decreases in past
due relationships within the other commercial, residential 1-4
family consumer, and commercial and industrial portfolios. Of the
total past due loans still accruing interest, $15.6 million or
0.09% of total LHFI were past due 90 days or more at June 30, 2024,
compared to $11.4 million or 0.07% of total LHFI at March 31, 2024,
and $10.1 million or 0.07% of total LHFI at June 30, 2023. The
increase in loans past due 90 days or more at June 30, 2024 from
both March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was primarily due to one
credit relationship within the other commercial portfolio.
Allowance for Credit Losses
At June 30, 2024, the ACL was $175.7 million and included an
ALLL of $158.1 million and a RUC of $17.6 million. At April 1,
2024, the initial ACL related to American National was $18.5
million, consisting of an ALLL of $17.1 million, which included a
$3.9 million reserve on PCD loans, and a RUC of $1.4 million.
Outside of the initial ACL related to the American National
acquisition, the ACL at June 30, 2024 increased $5.4 million from
March 31, 2024, primarily due to loan growth in the second quarter
of 2024 and the impact of continued uncertainty in the economic
outlook on certain portfolios.
The ACL as a percentage of total LHFI was 0.96% at June 30, 2024
and March 31, 2024. The ALLL as a percentage of total LHFI was
0.86% at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
Net Charge-offs
Net charge-offs were $1.7 million or 0.04% of total average LHFI
on an annualized basis for the second quarter of 2024, compared to
$4.9 million or 0.13% (annualized) for the first quarter of 2024,
and $1.6 million or 0.04% (annualized) for the second quarter of
2023.
Provision for Credit Losses
For the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a provision
for credit losses of $21.8 million, compared to a provision for
credit losses of $8.2 million in the prior quarter, and a provision
for credit losses of $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Included in the provision for credit losses for the second quarter
of 2024 was $13.2 million initial provision expense on non-PCD
loans and $1.4 million on unfunded commitments, each acquired from
American National. As compared to the prior quarter, the decrease
in provision for credit losses, outside of the initial provision
expense recorded on non-PCD loans and unfunded commitments acquired
from American National, primarily reflects the impact of lower net
charge-offs in the second quarter of 2024. As compared to the same
period in the prior year, the increase in provision for credit
losses, outside of the initial provision expense recorded on
non-PCD loans and unfunded commitments acquired from American
National, primarily reflects the impact of loan growth and the
impact of continued uncertainty in the economic outlook on certain
portfolios.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income decreased $1.8 million to $23.8 million for
the second quarter of 2024 from $25.6 million in the prior quarter,
primarily driven by $6.5 million of pre-tax losses incurred on the
sale of available for sale (“AFS”) securities as part of the
Company’s restructuring of the American National securities
portfolio, partially offset by increases in noninterest income due
to the full quarter impact of the American National acquisition
that closed on April 1, 2024.
Adjusted operating noninterest income,(1) which excludes losses
and gains on sale of AFS securities (losses of $6.5 million in the
second quarter and gains of $3,000 in the first quarter), increased
$4.8 million to $30.3 million for the second quarter from $25.5
million in the prior quarter, primarily due to the impact of the
American National acquisition, which drove the majority of the $2.1
million increase in fiduciary and asset management fees, the
$832,000 increase in interchange fees, the $517,000 increase in
service charges on deposit accounts, the $418,000 increase in
loan-related interest rate swap fees, and the $236,000 increase in
other service charges, commissions, and fees. In addition to the
acquisition impact, BOLI income increased $546,000 compared to the
prior quarter, primarily driven by a death benefit received in the
second quarter, and mortgage banking income increased $326,000.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense increased $44.7 million to $150.0 million
for the second quarter of 2024 from $105.3 million in the prior
quarter, primarily driven by a $27.9 million increase in pre-tax
merger-related expenses, as well as other increases in noninterest
expense due to the full quarter impact of the American National
acquisition.
Adjusted operating noninterest expense,(1) which excludes
merger-related costs ($29.8 million in the second quarter and $1.9
million in the first quarter), amortization of intangible assets
($6.0 million in the second quarter and $1.9 million in the first
quarter), and a FDIC special assessment ($840,000 in the first
quarter), increased $13.5 million to $114.2 million for the second
quarter from $100.7 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to
the impact of the American National acquisition, which drove the
majority of the $6.6 million increase in salaries and benefits, the
$2.1 million increase in technology and data processing, the $1.2
million increase in occupancy expenses, and the $512,000 increase
in franchise and other taxes compared to the prior quarter. In
addition to the acquisition impact, professional services increased
$1.3 million, primarily due to fees associated with various
strategic projects, and marketing and advertising expense increased
$665,000 compared to the prior quarter.
INCOME TAXES
As of each reporting date, the Company considers existing
evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact the future
realization of deferred tax assets. The Company’s bank subsidiary,
Atlantic Union Bank, is subject to a bank franchise tax but not
state income tax in Virginia, its primary place of business. The
Company, its subsidiaries, and Atlantic Union Bank’s non-bank
subsidiaries are subject to income taxes and may be able to utilize
state deferred tax assets, depending on a number of factors
including those entities’ financial results. During the quarter
ended June 30, 2024, the Company reviewed its business plans
considering the American National acquisition and other business
changes and noted shifts within its state income tax footprint and
other factors that impacted projected future realization of state
deferred tax items, including those attributable to operations in
Virginia. As a result, the Company concluded it is more likely than
not that the benefit for certain state net operating loss
carryforwards will not be realized, and the Company recorded a
valuation allowance of $4.8 million via a non-cash charge to income
tax expense for the second quarter of 2024.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June
30, 2024 and 2023 was 31.2% and 14.4%, respectively, and the
effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
was 22.3% and 15.5%. respectively. The increases in the effective
tax rate for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were
primarily due to the valuation allowance established on June 30,
2024, which resulted in a 13 and 5 percentage point increase,
respectively, in the effective tax rate.
BALANCE SHEET
At June 30, 2024, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet
includes the impact of the American National acquisition, which
closed April 1, 2024, as discussed above. ASC 805, Business
Combinations, allows for a measurement period of 12 months beyond
the acquisition date to finalize the fair value measurements of the
acquired Company’s net assets as additional information existing as
of the acquisition date becomes available. Any future measurement
period adjustments will be recorded through goodwill upon
identification. Below is a summary of the related impact of the
acquisition on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of the
acquisition date.
- The fair value of assets acquired totaled $2.9 billion and
included total loans of $2.2 billion with an initial loan discount
of $164.6 million.
- The fair value of the liabilities assumed totaled $2.7 billion
and included total deposits of $2.6 billion with an initial deposit
mark related to time deposits of $4.1 million.
- Core deposit intangibles and other intangibles acquired totaled
$84.7 million.
- Preliminary goodwill totaled $282.3 million.
At June 30, 2024, total assets were $24.8 billion, an increase
of $3.4 billion from March 31, 2024 and $4.2 billion or
approximately 20.2% from June 30, 2023. The increases in total
assets from the prior quarter and prior year were primarily driven
by growth in LHFI (net of deferred fees and costs) and the AFS
securities portfolio, primarily due to the American National
acquisition.
At June 30, 2024, LHFI (net of deferred fees and costs) totaled
$18.3 billion, an increase of $2.5 billion from $15.9 billion at
March 31, 2024, and an increase of $3.3 billion or 21.8% from June
30, 2023. LHFI increased from the prior quarter and prior year
primarily due to the American National acquisition, as well as loan
growth.
At June 30, 2024, total investments were $3.5 billion, an
increase of $350.1 million from March 31, 2024, and an increase of
$348.2 million or 11.1% from June 30, 2023. AFS securities totaled
$2.6 billion at June 30, 2024 and $2.2 billion at both March 31,
2024 and June 30, 2023. The increases compared to the prior quarter
and prior year were primarily due to the acquisition of American
National. Total net unrealized losses on the AFS securities
portfolio were $420.7 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $410.9
million at March 31, 2024 and $450.1 million at June 30, 2023. Held
to maturity securities are carried at cost and totaled $810.5
million at June 30, 2024, $828.9 million at March 31, 2024, and
$849.6 million at June 30, 2023 and had net unrealized losses of
$44.0 million at June 30, 2024, $37.6 million at March 31, 2024,
and $41.8 million at June 30, 2023.
At June 30, 2024, total deposits were $20.0 billion, an increase
of $2.7 billion from the prior quarter, and an increase of $3.6
billion or 21.9% from June 30, 2023. The increases in deposit
balances from the prior quarter and prior year are primarily due to
increases in interest bearing customer deposits and demand
deposits, primarily related to the addition of the American
National acquired deposits, as well as increases in brokered
deposits.
At June 30, 2024, total borrowings were $1.2 billion, an
increase of $149.0 million from March 31, 2024 and a decrease of
$113.6 million or 8.6% from June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2024 average
borrowings were $1.0 billion, consistent with March 31, 2024, and a
decrease of $53.3 million from June 30, 2023. The increase in
borrowings from the prior quarter was primarily driven by increased
use of short-term borrowings to fund loan growth, as well as
increases associated with the American National acquisition, while
the decrease from the same period in the prior year was due to
paydowns of short-term borrowings due to deposit growth.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In reporting the results as of and for the period ended June 30,
2024, the Company has provided supplemental performance measures
determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These
non-GAAP financial measures are a supplement to GAAP, which is used
to prepare the Company’s financial statements, and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures
calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company’s
non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP
financial measures of other companies. The Company uses the
non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein in its analysis of the
Company’s performance. The Company’s management believes that these
non-GAAP financial measures provide additional understanding of
ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations
with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and
charges in the periods presented without the impact of items or
events that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying
performance. For a reconciliation of these measures to their most
directly comparable GAAP measures and additional information about
these non-GAAP financial measures, see “Alternative Performance
Measures (non-GAAP)” in the tables within the section “Key
Financial Results.”

otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such
forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions as of

“confidence,” or words of similar meaning or other statements
concerning opinions or judgment of the Company and our management
about future events. Although we believe that our expectations with
respect to forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable
assumptions within the bounds of our existing knowledge of our
business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual
future results, performance, or achievements of, or trends
affecting, us will not differ materially from any projected future
results, performance, achievements or trends expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements. Actual future results,
performance, achievements or trends may differ materially from
historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of
factors, including, but not limited to, the effects of or changes

macroeconomic conditions, customer and client behavior, our funding
costs and our loan and securities portfolios;

National acquisition, or any change in the assumptions used
regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to determine
the fair value and credit marks;
- the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the American
National acquisition, including anticipated cost savings and
strategic gains, are not realized when expected or at all,
including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from,
the recent integration of the two companies or as a result of the
strength of the economy, competitive factors in the areas where we
do business, or as a result of other unexpected factors or
events;

- changes in accounting principles, standards, rules, and
interpretations, and the related impact on our financial
statements;
- an insufficient ACL or volatility in the ACL resulting from the
CECL methodology, either alone or as that may be affected by
changing economic conditions, credit concentrations, inflation,
changing interest rates, or other factors;

credit risk;
- our ability to compete in the market for financial services and
increased competition from fintech companies;

occurring events, such as weather-related disasters, terrorist
acts, geopolitical conflicts or public health events (such as
pandemics), and of governmental and societal responses thereto;
these potential adverse effects may include, without limitation,
adverse effects on the ability of our borrowers to satisfy their
obligations to us, on the value of collateral securing loans, on
the demand for our loans or our other products and services, on
supply chains and methods used to distribute products and services,
on incidents of cyberattack and fraud, on our liquidity or capital
positions, on risks posed by reliance on third-party service
providers, on other aspects of our business operations and on
financial markets and economic growth;
- performance by our counterparties or vendors;
- deposit flows;

securities;
- the effects of legislative or regulatory changes and
requirements, including changes in federal, state or local tax
laws;
- actual or potential claims, damages, and fines related to
litigation or government actions, which may result in, among other
things, additional costs, fines, penalties, restrictions on our
business activities, reputational harm, or other adverse
consequences;
- any event or development that would cause us to conclude that
there was an impairment of any asset, including intangible assets,
such as goodwill; and
- other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

____________________________
(1)
These are non-GAAP financial
measures. The Company believes net interest income (FTE), total
revenue (FTE), and total adjusted revenue (FTE), which are used in
computing net interest margin (FTE), efficiency ratio (FTE) and
adjusted operating efficiency ratio (FTE), provide valuable
additional insight into the net interest margin and the efficiency
ratio by adjusting for differences in tax treatment of interest
income sources. The entire FTE adjustment is attributable to
interest income on earning assets, which is used in computing the
yield on earning assets. Interest expense and the related cost of
interest-bearing liabilities and cost of funds ratios are not
affected by the FTE components.
(2)
These are non-GAAP financial
measures. Tangible assets and tangible common equity are used in
the calculation of certain profitability, capital, and per share
ratios. The Company believes tangible assets, tangible common
equity and the related ratios are meaningful measures of capital
adequacy because they provide a meaningful base for
period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which the
Company believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of
the Company and its ability to absorb potential losses. The Company
believes tangible common equity is an important indication of its
ability to grow organically and through business combinations as
well as its ability to pay dividends and to engage in various
capital management strategies.
(3)
These are non-GAAP financial
measures. The Company believes that ROTCE is a meaningful
supplement to GAAP financial measures and is useful to investors
because it measures the performance of a business consistently
across time without regard to whether components of the business
were acquired or developed internally.
(4)
These are non-GAAP financial
measures. Adjusted operating measures exclude, as applicable,
merger-related costs, strategic cost saving initiatives
(principally composed of severance charges related to headcount
reductions and charges for exiting leases), FDIC special
assessments, legal reserves associated with our previously
disclosed settlement with the CFPB, deferred tax asset write-down,
and (loss) gain on sale of securities. The Company believes these
non-GAAP adjusted measures provide investors with important
information about the continuing economic results of the Company’s
operations.
(5)
All ratios at June 30, 2024 are
estimates and subject to change pending the Company’s filing of its
FR Y9‑C. All other periods are presented as filed.
(6)
The adjusted operating efficiency
ratio (FTE) excludes, as applicable, the amortization of intangible
assets, merger-related costs, FDIC special assessments, strategic
cost saving initiatives (principally composed of severance charges
related to headcount reductions and charges for exiting leases),
legal reserves associated with our previously disclosed settlement
with the CFPB, and (loss) gain on sale of securities. This measure
is similar to the measure used by the Company when analyzing
corporate performance and is also similar to the measure used for
incentive compensation. The Company believes this adjusted measure
provides investors with important information about the continuing
economic results of the Company’s operations.
(7)
These are non-GAAP financial
measures. Pre-tax pre-provision adjusted earnings excludes, as
applicable, the provision for credit losses, which can fluctuate
significantly from period-to-period under the CECL methodology,
income tax expense, merger-related costs, strategic cost saving
initiatives (principally composed of severance charges related to
headcount reductions and charges for exiting leases), FDIC special
assessments, legal reserves associated with our previously
disclosed settlement with the CFPB, and (loss) gain on sale of
securities. The Company believes this adjusted measure provides
investors with important information about the continuing economic
results of the Company’s operations.
