STRASBURG, Va., July 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 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 $3.8 million, or $0.61 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. This compares to net income of $3.3 million, or $0.69 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021.
Net income for the second quarter of 2022 included a provision for loan losses totaling $400 thousand, or $316 thousand, net of tax, and net income for the second quarter of 2021 included a recovery of loan losses totaling $1.0 million, or $790 thousand, net of tax, which impacted basic and diluted earnings per share by ($0.05) and $0.16, respectively, for the periods.
On a linked quarter basis, unaudited consolidated net income increased by $106 thousand, or 3%, and basic and diluted earnings per share increased to $0.61 for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $0.60 per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2022.
SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
Key highlights of the second quarter of 2022 are as follows. Comparisons are to the linked quarterly period ending March 31, 2022, unless otherwise stated:
- Loans increased $43.7 million, or 20%, annualized
- Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $13.5 million, or 12%, annualized
- Net interest income increased $742 thousand, or 7%, to $11.3 million
- Return on average assets was 1.08%
- Return on average equity was 15.04%
- Net interest margin improved to 3.42% from 3.19%
- Efficiency ratio improved to 62.69% from 64.36%
“We are pleased with the Company’s second quarter loan growth and profitability,” said Scott Harvard, president and chief executive officer of First National. Harvard continued, “The Company continued to benefit from its strategic expansion initiatives last year as the loan portfolio increased by 20% annualized during the quarter and noninterest income remained at higher levels than in 2021. The efficiency ratio in the low sixties reflects the team’s focus on expense management and benefited from an improving net interest margin bolstered by deposit betas better than what we model. Although loan growth was significant in the second quarter, loan demand may begin to slow as customers become concerned about an economic slowdown caused by the Federal Reserve’s efforts to combat inflation with higher interest rates. While credit metrics continue to be at historically low levels, our team remains disciplined in underwriting and managing to our long-term risk appetite.”
NET INTEREST INCOME
Second Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2022
Net interest income increased $742 thousand, or 7%, to $11.3 million, comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the linked first quarter of 2022 and was positively impacted by a higher interest rate environment and a change in the Company’s earning asset composition. During the second quarter, the Federal Reserve increased the high-end of the Federal funds target range by 125 basis points from 0.50% to 1.75%, compared to the first quarter when the Federal funds rate increased by 25 basis points from 0.25% to 0.50%. The higher interest rate environment resulted in a 13-basis point increase in the yield on securities, a 66-basis point increase in the yield on interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and a three-basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. The impact of higher earning asset yields on net interest income was greater than the impact from the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. Although the Federal funds rate increased 125 basis points during the second quarter, the Company’s total cost of funds only increased by two basis points. Additionally, the earning asset composition had a favorable impact as average loans increased from 61% to 64% of average earning assets, while average interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased from 13% to 9% of average earning assets.
The $742 thousand increase in net interest income resulted from an $815 thousand, or 7%, increase in total interest and dividend income, which was partially offset by a $73 thousand, or 15%, increase in total interest expense. The increase in total interest and dividend income was attributable to a $467 thousand increase in interest income and fees on loans, a $181 thousand increase in interest on deposits in banks, and a $167 thousand increase in interest and dividends on securities. The increase in total interest expense resulted from higher interest expense on deposits. The net interest margin increased to 3.42%, a 23-basis point increase from 3.19% in the first quarter.
Accretion of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan income, net of costs, and accretion of discounts on purchased loans, net of premiums, were included in interest and fees on loans. Net accretion of PPP income totaled $35 thousand in the second quarter of 2022, which was a significant decrease from $323 thousand in the first quarter of 2022. Net accretion of discounts on purchased loans totaled $351 thousand in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $367 thousand in the first quarter of 2022.
Second Quarter 2022 compared to Second Quarter 2021
Net interest income increased $3.8 million, or 51%, comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the same period of 2021, and was positively impacted by a higher interest rate environment, a significant increase in average earning assets, and a change in the Company’s earning asset composition. During the second quarter of 2022, the high-end of the Federal funds target increased from 0.50% to 1.75%, compared to a Federal funds rate that remained at 0.25% throughout the second quarter of 2021. The higher interest rate environment resulted in a 14-basis point increase in the yield on loans and a 72-basis point increase in the yield on interest-bearing deposits in other banks, while the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased two basis points. The cost of subordinated debt decreased by 64-basis points from the redemption of $5.0 million of higher rate subordinated debt on January 1, 2022. Although the Federal funds rate increased by 150 basis points over the last twelve months, the Company’s total cost of funds decreased by seven basis points. Average earning assets increased $358.0 million, or 37%, as a result of the acquisition of The Bank of Fincastle (“Fincastle”) in the third quarter of 2021 and growth of the Bank’s deposit portfolio over the last twelve months. Additionally, the composition of earning assets contributed to the increase in total interest and dividend income as total average securities increased from 20% to 27% of average earning assets, while average interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased from 16% to 9%. Average loans were unchanged at 64% of average earning assets when comparing the same periods.
The $3.8 million increase in net interest income resulted from a $3.8 million, or 47%, increase in total interest and dividend income, while total interest expense was unchanged. The increase in total interest and dividend income was attributable to a $2.9 million increase in interest income and fees on loans, a $214 thousand increase in interest on deposits in banks, and a $691 thousand increase in interest income and dividends on securities. There was no change in total interest expense as the increase in interest expense on deposits was offset by the decrease in interest expense on subordinated debt. The net interest margin increased to 3.42%, a 32-basis point increase from 3.10% in the same period one year ago.
Accretion of PPP income, net of costs, and accretion of discounts on purchased loans, net of premiums, were included in interest and fees on loans. Net accretion of PPP income totaled $35 thousand in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $509 thousand for the same period of 2021. Net accretion of discounts on purchased loans totaled $351 thousand in the second quarter of 2022. There were no purchased loans in the second quarter of 2021, and as a result, there was no net accretion of discounts on purchased loans during the period.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Second Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2022
Provision of loan losses totaled $400 thousand in the second quarter of 2022 compared with no provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2022. The provision for loan losses resulted primarily from an increase in the general reserve component of the allowance for loan losses, which was attributable to loan growth of $43.7 million, or 5%, during the second quarter. There were no specific reserves on impaired loans at June 30, 2022, or March 31, 2022. Net charge-offs totaled $26 thousand during the second quarter.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $6.2 million, or 0.70% of total loans at June 30, 2022, compared to $5.8 million, or 0.70% of total loans at March 31, 2022. The net discount on purchased loans totaled $2.9 million at June 30, 2022, and $3.3 million at March 31, 2022.
Second Quarter 2022 compared to Second Quarter 2021
The provision for loan losses totaled $400 thousand for the second quarter of 2022, compared to a $1.0 million recovery of loan losses for the same period of 2021. The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2022 resulted primarily from an increase in the general reserve component of the allowance for loan losses, which was attributable to loan growth during the quarter. There were no specific reserves on impaired loans at June 30, 2022, compared to $78 thousand of specific reserves at June 30, 2021. Net charge-offs totaled $26 thousand during the second quarter of 2022.
The $1.0 million recovery of loan losses for the second quarter of 2021 resulted from the resolution of a previously impaired loan and a related decrease of the specific reserve component of the allowance for loan losses during the period.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $6.2 million, or 0.70% of total loans at June 30, 2022, compared to $5.5 million, or 0.89% of total loans at June 30, 2021. The net discount on purchased loans totaled $2.9 million at June 30, 2022. There were no discounts on purchased loans at June 30, 2021.
ASSET QUALITY
Loans 30 to 89 days past due and accruing totaled $1.6 million, or 0.18% of total loans at June 30, 2022, compared to $2.1 million, or 0.25% of total loans at March 31, 2022, and $550 thousand, or 0.09% of total loans at June 30, 2021. Accruing substandard loans decreased slightly to $308 thousand at June 30, 2022, compared to $311 thousand at March 31, 2022, and $322 thousand at June 30, 2021. Nonperforming assets decreased to $2.1 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $3.9 million at March 31, 2022, and was unchanged from $2.1 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease in nonperforming assets in the second quarter of 2022 resulted primarily from a decrease in nonaccrual loans. Nonperforming assets were comprised of $442 thousand of nonaccrual loans and $1.7 million of other real estate owned. There were $1.5 million of commercial rental properties included in other real estate owned, which were acquired through the merger with Fincastle in 2021.
The Bank modified terms of certain loans for customers negatively impacted by the pandemic during the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first half of 2021. The modifications lowered borrower’s loan payments by providing interest only payments for periods ranging between 6 and 24 months. As borrowers have resumed regular principal and interest loan payments, modified loan balances decreased to $4.7 million at June 30, 2022, from $8.9 million at March 31, 2022, and $13.4 million at June 30, 2021. All remaining modified loans were to businesses in the lodging sector and were included in the Bank’s commercial real estate loan portfolio and performing under their modified terms at June 30, 2022.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Second Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2022
Noninterest income increased $69 thousand, or 3%, to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter. Service charges on deposits increased $89 thousand, or 15%, ATM and check card fees increased $47 thousand, or 6%, and other operating income increased $70 thousand. The increases were partially offset by a $43 thousand, or 5%, decrease in wealth management fees, a $45 thousand, or 19%, decrease in fees for other customer services, and a $36 thousand, or 38%, decrease in brokered mortgage fees.
The increase in service charges on deposits and ATM and check card fees was attributed to an increase in customer transactions, and the increase in other operating income resulted from a recovery of a loan charged off by Fincastle prior to its merger with First Bank. The decrease in wealth management fees was attributed to lower client account values impacted by changes in the financial markets during the second quarter of 2022. Although fees for other customer services were lower than the prior period, the decrease was primarily a result of higher amounts earned in the prior period. Brokered mortgage fees decreased from both the reduction in the number of mortgage loans originated and an increase in the number of mortgage loans retained in the Bank’s loan portfolio when comparing the periods.
Second Quarter 2022 compared to Second Quarter 2021
Noninterest income increased $345 thousand, or 14%, to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to the same period of 2021. Service charges on deposits increased $251 thousand, or 56%, ATM and check card fees increased $115 thousand, or 17%, fees for other customer services increased $38 thousand, or 25%, and wealth management fees increased $103 thousand, or 16%. The increases were partially offset by a $99 thousand, or 63%, decrease in brokered mortgage fees, and a $76 thousand, or 34%, decrease in other operating income.
The increases in service charges on deposits, ATM and check card fees, and fees for other customer services were favorably impacted by an increase in customer transactions and additional deposit accounts that resulted from the acquisition of Fincastle. The increase in wealth management income was attributable to an increase in the number of client accounts. Brokered mortgage fees and net gains on sale of loans held for sale decreased from a reduction in the number of mortgage loans originated, as well as an increase in the number of mortgage loans retained in the Bank’s loan portfolio and not sold or brokered when comparing the periods. The decrease in other operating income was a result of income earned from an investment in a small business investment company partnership in the second quarter of 2021.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Second Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2022
Noninterest expense increased $274 thousand, or 3%, to $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to the prior quarter. Equipment expense increased $61 thousand, or 11%, marketing increased $72 thousand, or 48%, legal and professional fees increased $48 thousand, or 14%, ATM and check card expense increased $44 thousand, or 15%, and other operating expense increased $121 thousand, or 15%. The increases were partially offset by a $38 thousand, or 1%, decrease in salaries and employee benefits and a $27 thousand, or 5%, decrease in occupancy expense.
The increase in equipment expense resulted from enhancements to the Bank’s operating systems and increases in support costs. Marketing expense increased primarily from the timing of campaigns and promotion activities. Legal and professional fees increased as a result of a reimbursement received in the first quarter of 2022 from a customer. The increase in ATM and check card expense correlated with the increase in card revenue and customer transactions, and the increase in other operating expense was primarily a result of an increase in a reserve for potential expenses related to letters of credit acquired from Fincastle. Although there were no merger expenses in the second quarter of 2022, merger expenses totaled $20 thousand in the first quarter of 2022.
Second Quarter 2022 compared to Second Quarter 2021
Noninterest expense increased $2.3 million, or 35%, to $8.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period one year ago. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million, or 38% increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $146 thousand, or 37%, increase in occupancy expense, a $187 thousand, or 43%, increase in equipment expense, an $85 thousand, or 62%, increase in marketing, a $79 thousand, or 30%, increase in ATM and check card expense, and a $280 thousand, or 42%, increase in other operating expense. These increases were partially offset by a $102 thousand decrease in legal and professional fees.
The increases were primarily attributable to the increase in the number of employees, branch offices and customers that resulted from the acquisition of Fincastle and the acquisition of the loan portfolio, branch assets and the addition of employees from the SmartBank office. The increase in marketing was also related to the timing of campaigns and promotion activities. The decrease in legal and professional fees was primarily attributable to merger related costs in the second quarter of 2021. Although there were no merger expenses in the second quarter of 2022, merger expenses totaled $277 thousand in the second quarter of 2021.

Total assets decreased slightly, by $3.0 million, in the second quarter and totaled $1.4 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to total assets at March 31, 2022.

The asset growth resulted from the acquisition of Fincastle in the third quarter of 2021 and from deposit growth over the last twelve months.

Total liabilities increased slightly, by $3.3 million, in the second quarter of 2022 and totaled $1.3 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to total liabilities at March 31, 2022. The increase resulted from total deposit growth as noninterest-bearing deposits increased $13.5 million, while savings and interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $2.9 million and time deposits decreased $7.3 million.
Comparing the balance sheets at June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, total liabilities increased $378.5 million, or 40%, to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $935.9 million one year ago. The increase in total liabilities resulted from growth in deposits, which included both growth in deposits from the acquisition of Fincastle and from organic deposit growth over the last twelve months. Total deposits increased $381.8 million, or 42%, to $1.3 billion. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $140.7 million, or 48%, savings and interest-bearing demand

Total shareholders’ equity decreased $6.2 million in the second quarter to $100.3 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $106.6 million at March 31, 2022. A combined increase of common stock, surplus and retained earnings totaling $3.1 million was offset by a $9.3 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, which resulted from the impact of changes in market rates on securities available for sale reported at market value. The Bank was considered well-capitalized at June 30, 2022.
Comparing the balance sheets at June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, total shareholders’ equity increased $11.6 million, or 13%, to $100.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $88.7 million one year ago. The increase resulted from a $27.8 million increase in common stock and surplus, and an $8.9 million, or 12%, increase in retained earnings, which were partially offset by a $25.1 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income resulted from the impact of changes in market rates on securities available for sale. The increase in common stock and surplus was primarily from the acquisition of Fincastle in the third quarter of 2021.
ACQUISITION OF THE BANK OF FINCASTLE
On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of The Bank of Fincastle for an aggregate purchase price of $33.8 million of cash and stock (the “Merger”).

(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 and losses on sales of securities. 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. 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) All capital ratios reported 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.
