VIRGINIA NATIONAL BANKSHARES CORPORATION REPORTS
FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL EARNINGS RESULTS
Charlottesville, VA – Virginia National Bankshares Corporation of Charlottesville, Virginia (the “Company”), reported its unaudited, consolidated financial results for the three-month and annual earnings results for the period ended December 31, 2013. The Company became the parent company of Virginia National Bank (the “Bank”) on December 16, 2013 pursuant to a reorganization agreement and plan of share exchange whereby the Bank reorganized into a holding company form of ownership.
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 totaled $4.617 million, or $1.72 per share, as compared to $3.776 million or $1.41 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. The quarterly results represent an annualized return on average assets of 3.67%. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $6.896 million, or $2.56 per share and represent a return on average assets of 1.40%.
Highlights related to Virginia National Bankshares Corporation’s consolidated earnings results include:
- Net interest income of $3.632 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 was equal to the net interest income reported in the third quarter of 2013 and a decrease of $133 thousand from $3.765 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, net interest income of $14.449 million was down $1.174 million from the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Tax-equivalent yields on interest earning assets fell by 27 basis points during the twelve months of 2013 as compared to the year earlier period, while the average interest rate paid on deposits and repurchase agreements decreased by 11 basis points in the comparable period. The tax equivalent net interest margin for the three months ended and the year ended December 31, 2013 was 3.15% and 3.21%, respectively.
- For the fourth quarter of 2013, Management recaptured $105 thousand in provision for loan losses due primarily to improvements in classified loans and past due loans. This compares favorably to the $190 thousand in provision recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, $160 thousand in provision was reported, compared to the net recapture of provision of $79 thousand that was reported in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.
- Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $13.767 million or an increase of 67.4% from the $8.223 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2012. The revenue increase in the fourth quarter of 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was the result of higher VNBTrust annual performance fees. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, non-interest income was $17.854 million, or a 48.3% increase from the $12.040 million reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The higher revenue was primarily the result of increases in VNBTrust fees ($5.252 million), an increase in the value of Bank-Owned Life Insurance ($165 thousand), an increase in gain on sale of assets ($325 thousand) and an increase in Other Income ($213 thousand), which includes brokerage services ($110 thousand). The net increase in year-to-daterevenue was offset by lower deposit account fees ($61 thousand) and lower gains on sale of securities ($83 thousand), when compared to the same period in 2012.
- Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $10.520 million, an increase of $4.361 million or 70.8% from the $6.159 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2012. Higher incentive compensation expenses related to increased performance fee revenue for VNBTrust accounted for $3.395 million higher cost in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year-earlier period. Other areas of non-interest expense that experienced increases in the fourth quarter of 2013 versus the year-earlier period include Occupancy Expense ($71 thousand) and Other Expense ($895 thousand). The increase in Other Expense was primarily due to legal, professional and consulting fees associated with the formation of the bank holding company and changes to the Bank’s wealth management model, as well as an increase in charitable giving and an OREO property valuation write-down of $160 thousand over the same period in 2012.
For the twelve months of 2013, non-interest expense totaled $22.035 million, an increase of $2.385 million over the $19.650 million reported for the same period in 2012. Salaries and employee benefits increased $2.784 million in 2013 as compared to 2012. Much of this increase is due to the increase in incentive compensation for VNBTrust, discussed earlier. Offsetting the year-over-year increase were decreases in Equipment expense ($221 thousand), Other Expense ($169 thousand), and Net Occupancy expense ($9 thousand). The decline in depreciation costs and in equipment maintenance costs were the primary reason for the decrease in Equipment expense. The decrease in Other Expense was primarily driven by a $623 thousand decrease in OREO expense during 2013 as compared to 2012 and this is associated with a lower level of OREO valuation write-downs in 2013 as compared to 2012.
Other Information:
Changes in other unaudited financial information are as follows:
- Total assets at December 31, 2013 amounted to $513.0 million, an increase of $29.1 million from the $483.9 million reported at September 30, 2013 and a $5.4 million increase from the $507.6 million reported for December 31, 2012.
- Net loans outstanding at December 31, 2013 were $296.7 million, as compared to $294.1 million at September 30, 2013 and $15.1 million or 5.4% more than the $281.6 million balance reported at December 31, 2012.
- Loan delinquencies continued to decline during the fourth quarter of 2013 with non-accrual loans at 0.12% of outstanding loans at December 31, 2013; as compared to 0.13% at September 30, 2013 and 0.49% at December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013 the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 1.12%. Additionally, the net charge offs to average loans ratio was 0.09% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
- Deposit and repo sweep accounts totaled $446.8 million, up $17.5 million from the $429.3 million at September 30, 2013, but down $2.6 million from the $449.4 million at December 31, 2012. The decline in deposit balances was anticipated by management as an indication that customers are moving funds back into the investment markets or they are continuing to de-leverage themselves. These situations are considered normal transactional activity for the Bank’s diverse customer base.
- Total shareholders’ equity was $58.0 million at December 31, 2013, up $4.3 million from $53.7 million at September 30, 2013 and an increase of $4.1 million from the $53.9 million reported at December 31, 2012. The accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), which consists of the unrealized gain or loss in the investment portfolio, decreased $2.6 million to an unrealized loss of $1.4 million at December 31, 2013 as compared to a $1.2 million unrealized gain at December 31, 2012. These changes in AOCI are the result of market valuation changes resulting from, in this case, a rise in longer term interest rates. The Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of the Company was 11.86% at December 31, 2013 as compared to 10.87% at December 31, 2012 and 11.22% at September 30, 2013. Total Risk-based Capital Ratio was 18.00% at December 31, 2013 as compared to 16.21% at December 31, 2012 and 16.33% at September 30, 2013. The book value per share at December 31, 2013 was $21.54.
- As previously announced, on December 17, 2013 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share and the dividend was paid on January 10, 2014 to shareholders of record on January 2, 2014. Cash dividends declared in 2013 totaled over $403 thousand.

1 December 31, 2013 performance financials are for Virginia National Bankshares Corporation and its subsidiaries. Prior periods were reported for Virginia National Bank and subsidiary.
2 The net interest margin is reported on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE). GAAP income presented on the income statement for investment securities totaling $627 thousand and $531 thousand for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and for December 31, 2012, respectively, has been adjusted to $666 thousand and $562 thousand, respectively, to reflect the taxable equivalence of the tax-exempt securities using a Federal income tax rate of 34%. Other periods shown were likewise adjusted to reflect the tax equivalent basis.
3 The efficiency ratio for the three month period ended December 31, 2013 is computed as a percentage of non-interest expense divided by fully tax equivalent (FTE) net interest income and non-interest income. The computation for prior periods does not reflect the net interest income adjustment for the tax equivalence of tax exempt securities.
