VIRGINIA NATIONAL BANKSHARES CORPORATION REPORTS
SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS
Charlottesville, VA August 7, 2014– Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (OTCQX: VABK) (the “Company”), today reported second quarter 2014 net income of $445 thousand or $0.16 per diluted share. This representsa 12.1% decrease compared to net income of$506 thousand or $0.19 per diluted share recognizedduring the previous quarter. Net income for the six monthperiod endedJune 30, 2014 was $951 thousand and earnings per share was $0.35.
“Though loan production totaled $19.0 million during the quarter, loans contracted due to some unanticipated pay-offs.Additionally,we continue to see some irrational termsand pricing being offered by some competitors withinour footprint. Wedo not feel that competing for facilities of this nature is a solid strategy forsustaining long-term growth and increasing shareholder value.” said Glenn W. Rust,President and Chief Executive Officer.“We continueto seek waysto be proactive in the deployment of our capital without sacrificing strategic options.”
Second Quarter 2014 Highlights
- A recovery of provision for loanlosses of $118 thousand was recordedduring the quarter as asset quality remains excellent and internal metrics indicate a reduction of inherent risk withinthe portfolio.
- Criticized loans decreased $2.1million or 32.3% on a sequential basis.
- Noninterest incomeincreased $73thousand or 6.8% sequentially and anuptick was notedin all operational categories.
- Expansion into the Warrenton market was accomplished through the opening of a loanproduction office.
- TheCompany began originatingmortgage loans held for sale during thesecond quarterof 2014 inorder to expand into secondary market lending and further diversify noninterest income.
Net Interest Margin Contracts Modestly
The second quarter tax-equivalent net interest marginwas 3.08%, down 9 basis points from 3.17% for the first quarter of 2014.This contraction was yielddriven as loanand investment yields declined 7 basis points and 3 basis points compared to thepriorquarter, respectively. The cost of interest bearing liabilities remained unchangedat 30 basis points over this time period. Net interest income amounted to $3.6 millionin the second quarter of 2014 or down $78 thousand or 2.1% on a linked quarterbasisand was essentially flat compared to thesecond quarter of 2013. The quarter to quarter decline was driven by both the margin compression and an asset mix shift as average loans declined $6.2 million or 2.1% while the average balances in lower yielding investment securities and fed funds increased.
The Company expects net interest margin will likely continue to contract slightly or remain flat in the coming quarters due toanticipated repricing within the loan portfolio as contractual curtailments and deleveraging within our markets are expected topersist. TheCompany continues to focus its efforts on loan growth in order toachieve higher asset yieldsby improving theearning assetmix and further leveraging our low cost of funds. Gross loan production was $19.0 millionduring the secondquarter, but was offset by accelerated curtailments. Management isexploring strategies to supplement organic loan growth andassist in normalizing our loan to deposit ratio.
Noninterest Income Expands Moderately
Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2014 was $1.2 million, up $73 thousand or 6.8% from the first quarter of 2014. All operational noninterest revenue categories realized a sequential upswing and contributed to the growth. The primary drivers were an uptick in other income of $47 thousand and an expansion in fixed fee trust revenue of $14 thousand. Other income was somewhat suppressed during the previous quarter due to referral fees for accounts that transitioned to Swift Run Capital Management, LLC, were unavailable when closing out the first quarter. The related assets under management totaled $509 million at June 30, 2014. Retail banking fees consisting of customer service fees and debit card and ATM fees were up $20 thousand or 5.2% compared to the prior quarter.
Noninterest income is expected to increase in the coming quarters as the Company implements a new fee structure which will allow the Company to continue being a low cost provider while maintaining excellent customer service. The new fees will be implemented late during the third quarter of 2014 with the full effect of the increases expected to be realized during the final quarter of 2014.
Noninterest Expense Rises Due to Talent Acquisition
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2014 was $4.3 million, an increase of $109 thousand or 2.6% from the $4.2 million reported in the first quarter of 2014. This increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and employee benefits of $120 thousand. During the second quarter, two significant hires were made in an attempt to increase loan production, expand our market service area and diversify noninterest income. An established, seasoned commercial lender was hired as a market president during the quarter as we expanded our footprint into Warrenton. The Company also added a mortgage lending officer to originate secondary market mortgage loans in an attempt to further diversify our noninterest revenue streams. The full impact of recruitment fees and salary expense associated with this talent was recognized during the current quarter while the expected offsetting uplift in revenues will be realized in future quarters.
Equipment expense was down $25 thousand or 17.1% on a linked quarter basis due to elevated equipment purchases encountered during the first quarter of 2014 which were associated with the reorganization of our wealth management segment. Other expense increased $15 thousand due to a $53 thousand write-down on an OREO property and a $15 thousand increase in marketing expense which were offset by a $52 thousand decrease in consulting expenses.
The efficiency ratio was 89.75% for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 87.37% for the first quarter of 2014 and 76.42% for the same quarter in 2013. Our efficiency ratio tends to be elevated during the first three quarters of the year due to a required mismatch of revenues and expenses within our wealth management segment. Performance fee revenues, if any, must be recognized late in the fourth quarter while much of the associated expense burden is recognized evenly throughout the year. Additionally, the aforementioned loan and retail banking revenue strategies, together with several expense reduction strategies, are anticipated to improve our efficiency ratio in the coming quarters.
Asset Quality Continues to Remain Top Tier
Criticized loans totaled $4.4 million at June 30, 2014 decreasing $2.1 million or 32.3% from the $6.5 million reported at March 31, 2014 and down $5.3 million or 54.6% from the $9.7 million reported at June 30, 2013. Nonperforming assets totaled $2.7 million or essentially unchanged from the prior quarter. Nonaccrual loans remain muted and totaled $495 thousand at June 30, 2014, up slightly compared to $481 thousand at March 31, 2014. The minor uptick in nonaccrual loans sequentially was rather isolated as it related to two relationships migrating to nonaccrual status while two relationships were paid off and one transferred to other real estate owned during the period.
Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $98 thousand, up from net recoveries of $13 thousand realized during the first quarter of 2014. A recovery of provision for loan losses amounting to $118 thousand was recorded during the second quarter of 2014, a decrease compared to no provision being recorded during the first quarter of 2014. The recovery of provision for loan losses during the current quarter is reflective of the continued strength in the underlying loan portfolio as well as the contraction within gross loans.
The allowance as a percentage of non-performing loans was 637.8% at June 30, 2014, indicating strong coverage, consistent with the 701.2% at March 31, 2014. The net charge-offs of $98 thousand combined with a recovery of provision for loan losses of $118 thousand resulted in an allowance for loan losses of $3.2 million at June 30, 2014, or down $216 thousand or 6.4% from March 31, 2014. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.08% at June 30, 2014, compared to 1.15% at March 31, 2014 and 1.21% at June 30, 2013.
Balance Sheet Trends
Gross loans outstanding at June 30, 2014 totaled $292.3 million, or essentially unchanged compared to March 31, 2014 and down slightly compared to $293.9 million at June 30, 2013. Average gross loans for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $292.6 million, down $6.2 million or 2.1% when compared to $298.8 million during the first quarter of 2014. This sequential contraction in average balances is primarily due to four large unexpected payoffs occurring near the end of the first quarter that totaled $10.4 million. While these unanticipated payoffs caused a reduction in average loan balances from the previous quarter, $19.0 million in new loan production was generated during the quarter. These payoffs were associated with customers deleveraging within the marketplace while continuing to maintain their banking relationships with the Company.
Total assets at June 30, 2014 were $506.9 million, a decrease of $27.1 million or 5.1% from the $534.0 million reported at March 31, 2014 and increased $20.2 million or 4.2% from the $486.7 million reported at June 30, 2013. The swings in total assets were related to fluctuations within the fed funds and securities asset categories. These balances were primarily driven by the necessity to deploy liquidity stemming from increases and decreases in demand deposit liabilities over the same time horizon.
Deposits and repurchase agreement sweep balances totaled $445.9 million at June 30, 2014, down $27.7 million or 5.8% from the $473.6 million at March 31, 2014, and up $12.9 million or 3.0% from the $433.0 million at June 30, 2013. The uptick in deposit balances at March 31, 2014 is partially attributable to $22.4 million in transient proceeds related to real estate transactions being included in deposit balances at the end of the first quarter. Management expected these deposit balances to contract during the second quarter in conjunction with the settlement of the underlying real estate transactions. The year over year increases are attributable to organic growth in our deposit base.
Capital Levels Continue to Expand As Deployment Strategies Are Being Explored
Total shareholders’ equity was $59.8 million at June 30, 2014, up $910 thousand or 1.5% compared to $58.9 million at March 31, 2014, and up $6.8 million or 12.9% compared to $53.0 million at June 30, 2013. During the quarter we paid $134 thousand in dividends and retained $311 thousand or 69.9% of net income. The accumulated other comprehensive loss, decreased $543 thousand during the period due to a slight downward shift in the long end of the yield curve. Capital ratios continue to exceed published regulatory standards for well-capitalized banks by a substantial margin. The Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of the Company was 11.81% at June 30, 2014 as compared to 11.67% at March 31, 2014 and 11.10% at June 30, 2013. Total Risk-based Capital Ratio was 18.76% at June 30, 2014 as compared to 18.66% at March 31, 2014 and 16.29% at June 30, 2013. The book value per share at June 30, 2014 was $22.19.
The Company continues to evaluate several options in order to leverage and manage the excess capital at our disposal such as repurchasing shares and considering bank and nonbank strategic opportunities. These strategies are being evaluated in concert with one another in order to manage risk while seeking to maximize shareholder value.

1 The net interest margin is reported on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE).
2 The efficiency ratio is computed as a percentage of non-interest expense divided by the sum of 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. This is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides investors with important information regarding operational efficiency. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate them differently.
