FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VIRGINIA NATIONAL BANKSHARES CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES FULL YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Charlottesville, VA – January 28, 2019 – Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (OTCQX: VABK) (the “Company”) today reported net income of $8.5 million, or $3.31 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is a 29% increase compared to net income of $6.6 million, or $2.58 per diluted share recognized for the year ended December 31, 2017. Fourth quarter 2018 net income was $1.7 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, a $528 thousand or 46% increase compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, recognized during the fourth quarter of 2017. Note that 2017 diluted share figures have been adjusted for the 5% stock dividend effective April 13, 2018.

“We are proud to announce record net income despite the headwinds that we faced in 2018,” said Glenn W. Rust, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We confronted significant competition for loans and deposits throughout the year and were still able to finish the year with a return on average assets of 1.33%.”

2018 Full-Year and Select Balance Sheet Financial Highlights

● Return on average assets (ROAA) for 2018 of 1.33% compared favorably to the 1.05% realized in the prior year.
 

● The efficiency ratio on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE) was 56.2%, an improvement over the 58.0% for 2017.
 

● 2018 net interest income increased $1.5 million, or 7.1%, over the net interest income recognized in 2017.
 

● Net interest margin (FTE) improved 17 basis points to 3.80% for 2018 compared to 3.63% for 2017.
 

● Gross loans outstanding at December 31, 2018 totaled $537.2 million, which represented an increase of $8.4 million, or 1.6%, over the 2017 year-end balance.
 

● The period-end allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased to 0.91% at the end of December 2018, due to the need for an increase to the allowance for loan losses as a result of the loss of surety bonds covering the student loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans as of December 31, 2017 was 0.76%.
 

● The balance of loans in non-accrual status increased from $177 thousand at year-end 2017 to $615 thousand as of December 31, 2018, of which $445 thousand were student loans. The Company has filed claims with the liquidator of the surety company for these non-accrual student loans and expects to collect the principal balances outstanding on these loans. Student loans that become 120 days or more past due after July 27, 2018 have been and will be classified as charge-offs.
 

● The loan-to-deposit ratio was 93.8% at December 31, 2018, compared to 97.4% at December 31, 2017.
 

● Tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2018, which reflects the 5% stock dividend effective April 2018, was $27.48. This compares to $26.61 as of December 31, 2017, which was prior to and therefore not adjusted for the 5% stock dividend.
 

● A provision for loan losses of $1.9 million was recognized during 2018, compared to $418 thousand recognized in 2017, primarily due to the loss of surety bonds insuring the student loan portfolio.

2018 Full-Year and Select Balance Sheet Financial Highlights, continued

● The cost of funds of 49 basis points incurred in 2018 increased 27 basis points from 22 basis points for 2017, due to increased rates on deposit accounts and higher cost of borrowed funds. Low-cost deposits, which include noninterest checking accounts and interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market accounts, remained in excess of 75% of total deposits at the end of 2018 and 2017.
 

● Noninterest income for 2018 decreased $350 thousand, or 6.0%, compared to 2017, primarily due to lower wealth management performance fees in 2018, as a result of stock market conditions as of December 31, 2018.
 

● Noninterest expense for 2018 increased $132 thousand, or 0.8%, compared to 2017, due to expenses associated with additional staffing and increased professional fees, as well as data processing expenses associated with the implementation of mobile banking.
 

● The provision for income taxes recognized in 2018 decreased $2.3 million, or 53.0%, compared to 2017, due primarily to the reduction in our corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% in 2018 and the one-time, non-cash tax charge of $963 thousand in 2017 due to the re-measurement of, and adjustment to, deferred tax assets as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017.
 

● Capital ratios continue to be well in excess of regulatory requirements for well-capitalized banks.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Select Financial Highlights

● Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased $204 thousand, or 3.7%, compared to the same period in 2017.
 

● A provision for loan losses of $983 thousand was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $205 thousand recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017, related primarily to the student loan portfolio, as noted above.
 

● The cost of funds of 58 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased 35 basis points from 23 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2017, due to increased rates on deposit accounts.
 

● Noninterest income for the fourth quarter decreased $907 thousand, or 42.3%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily due to lower wealth management performance fees in 2018.
 

● Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter decreased $546 thousand, or 12.3%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, largely because bonuses associated with wealth management fees were paid in the fourth quarter of 2017, while minimal bonuses were paid in 2018.
 

● The provision for income taxes recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018 decreased $1.5 million, or 78.1%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, due primarily to the reduction in our corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% in 2018 and the one-time, non-cash tax charge of $963 thousand in 2017 due to the re-measurement of, and adjustment to, deferred tax assets as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017.
 

● Cash dividends of $763 thousand were declared during the fourth quarter of 2018, while the remaining net income of $919 thousand, or 54.6%, was retained.

1	Share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect a 5% stock dividend effective April 13, 2018.
2	Ratio is computed on an annualized basis.
3	The net interest margin and net interest income are reported on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE), using a Federal income tax rate of 21% for 2018 and 34% for 2017.
4	The efficiency ratio is computed as a percentage of noninterest expense divided by the sum of fully tax equivalent (FTE) net interest income and noninterest income. 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.
