“During what was an eventful quarter for the banking industry, First Bank stood firm on its strong foundation of core deposit relationships that was built in our communities over the last 116 years,” said Scott C. Harvard, president and chief executive officer of First National. “Unlike the two banks that recently failed, our banking company has a diverse customer base and does not have deposit concentrations in certain industries, geographies, or individuals. While the last month was full of talking heads fanning the fire of a banking crisis, it was business as usual on the ground for First Bank. I am proud of our entire team for building block by block, the service culture and the fortress balance sheet that resulted in a strong liquidity position and equipped the Bank for the operating environment. In spite of increasing deposit costs pressuring the net interest margin, First National’s financial performance was excellent for the first quarter.”

Liquidity sources available to the Bank, including interest-bearing deposits in banks; unpledged securities available for sale, at fair value; available lines of credit; and unpledged securities held-to-maturity, at par, eligible to be pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank through its Bank Term Funding Program (the “BTFP” or the “Program”), totaled $562.4 million, $417.2 million, and $535.7 million at March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Additionally, unpledged securities, held to maturity, at par, that were eligible to be pledged as collateral to the BTFP, totaled $91.2 million at March 31, 2023.

Advances from the BTFP may be requested by the Bank for up to one year until March 11, 2024. The Bank did not pledge securities to, or borrow from, the BTFP facility during the first quarter of 2023.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income totaled $11.2 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $12.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and was negatively impacted by a $212 thousand decrease in total interest income and a $622 thousand increase in total interest expense. The decrease in interest income was primarily a result of a $178 thousand, or 34%, decrease in interest income from interest-bearing deposits in banks, which resulted from a decrease in balances of interest-bearing deposits in banks. The increase in interest expense was attributable to a $623 thousand increase in interest expense on deposits, which was the result of higher interest rates paid on deposits and a change in the composition of the deposit portfolio from lower to higher interest rate accounts.
The net interest margin decreased by 10 basis points to 3.60% as the 12-basis point increase in the yield on earning assets was offset by the 22-basis point increase in interest expense as a percentage of average earning assets. The rising interest rate environment continued to have a favorable impact on earning asset yields as the yield on loans increased 11 basis points to 5.10% during the quarter but was offset by an unfavorable impact of rising interest rates on interest expense. The cost of funds increased 23 basis points from 0.54% for the fourth quarter of 2022 to 0.77% for the first quarter of 2023.
Net accretion of discounts on purchased loans was included in interest income and fees on loans and totaled $145 thousand in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $117 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2022, and $367 thousand in the first quarter of 2022. There was $8 thousand of accretion earned from Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) fee income, net of costs, in the first quarter of 2023, compared to no PPP income in the fourth quarter of 2022, and $323 thousand of PPP income in the first quarter of 2022.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income totaled $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, which was a $1.4 million decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily from transactions in the fourth quarter of 2022, which included a $2.9 million gain on sale of other investment and a $556 thousand recovery from the full curtailment of a purchased loan that was recorded in other operating income. These transactions were partially offset by a $2.0 million loss on the sale of securities available for sale in the fourth quarter of 2022. The gain on the sale of other investments resulted from the sale of an interest in a broker-dealer of investments by First Bank Financial Services, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. The $2.0 million net loss on the sale of securities available for sale in the fourth quarter of 2022 resulted from a strategic initiative to increase net interest income from the disposition of lower yielding investments and reinvestment into higher yielding assets.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expenses increased $220 thousand, or 2%, to $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $192 thousand increase in other real estate owned (income) expense, net, which resulted from a $196 thousand gain on the sale of other real estate owned during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Total assets increased from the prior quarter primarily due to a $13.7 million increase in interest-bearing deposits in banks, which was partially offset by decreases in cash and due from banks, securities, loans, and other assets.
Loans totaled $918.0 million at March 31, 2023, which was a decrease of $2.6 million from December 31, 2022, and an increase of $81.5 million, or 10%, from the period ended March 31, 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 tax equivalent net interest income and noninterest income, excluding gains and losses on sales of securities and gains and losses on other assets. 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, net of selling costs.
(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.
