Investors can consider the worst-case scenarios before making an investment. TipRanks’ Risk Analysis categorizes risks based on proprietary classification algorithms and machine learning. First National disclosed 49 risk factors in its most recent earnings report. First National reported the most risks in the “Finance & Corporate” category.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 1
    Combining Touchstone into the Company may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than we expect.

    The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the Company's ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining the business of Touchstone into the business of the Company without materially disrupting the existing customer relationships of Touchstone or the Company. If the Company is not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Merger may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the Company's ability to successfully combine the businesses of the Company and Touchstone. To realize these anticipated benefits, the Company will integrate Touchstone's business into its own. The integration process in the Merger could result in the disruption of ongoing business, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, and policies that affect adversely the Company's ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees or achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger. If the Company experiences difficulties with the integration process, the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized, fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. As with any merger of financial institutions, there also may be disruptions that cause the Company to lose customers or cause customers to withdraw their deposits from Touchstone or the Bank, or other unintended consequences that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition after the Merger. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on the Company for an indeterminate period after consummation of the Merger.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 2
    The Company may not be able to effectively integrate the operations of Touchstone into the Bank.

    The future operating performance of the Company and the Bank will depend, in part, on the success of the merger of Touchstone with and into the Bank. The success of the subsidiary bank merger will, in turn, depend on a number of factors, including the Company's ability to (i) integrate the operations and branches of Touchstone and the Bank, (ii) retain the deposits and customers of Touchstone and the Bank, (iii) control the incremental increase in noninterest expense arising from the Merger in a manner that enables the combined bank to improve its overall operating efficiencies, and (iv) retain and integrate the appropriate personnel of Touchstone into the operations of the Bank, and reduce overlapping bank personnel. The integration of Touchstone and the Bank will require the dedication of the time and resources of the Bank's management and may temporarily distract management's attention from the day-to-day business of the Bank. If the Bank is unable to successfully integrate Touchstone, the Bank may not be able to realize expected operating efficiencies and eliminate redundant costs.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Future issuances of the Company's common stock could adversely affect the market price of the common stock and could be dilutive.

    The Company is not restricted from issuing additional authorized shares of common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, shares of common stock. Issuances of a substantial number of shares of common stock, or the expectation that such issuances might occur, including in connection with acquisitions by the Company, could materially adversely affect the market price of the shares of common stock and could be dilutive to shareholders. Because the Company's decision to issue common stock in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors, it cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of possible future issuances of its common stock. Accordingly, the Company's shareholders bear the risk that future issuances will reduce the market price of the common stock and dilute their stock holdings in the Company.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Future sales of our common stock by shareholders or the perception that those sales could occur may cause our common stock price to decline.

    Although our common stock is listed for trading on NASDAQ Capital Market stock exchange, the trading volume in our common stock may be lower than that of other larger financial institutions. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of the common stock at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. Given the potential for lower relative trading volume in our common stock, significant sales of the common stock in the public market, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline or to be lower than it otherwise might be in the absence of these sales or perceptions.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The Company's governing documents and Virginia law contain anti-takeover provisions that could negatively affect its shareholders.

    The Company's Articles of Incorporation and the Virginia Stock Corporation Act contain certain provisions designed to enhance the ability of the Board of Directors to deal with attempts to acquire control of the Company. These provisions and the ability to set the voting rights, preferences, and other terms of any series of outstanding preferred stock and preferred stock that may be issued, may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may discourage takeovers (which certain shareholders may deem to be in their best interest). To the extent that such takeover attempts are discouraged, temporary fluctuations in the market price of the Company's common stock resulting from actual or rumored takeover attempts may be inhibited. These provisions also could discourage or make more difficult a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest, even though such transactions may be favorable to the interests of shareholders and could potentially adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
