Old Point Reports Profit for 3rd Quarter
· Nonperforming assets decline by 30.69%
· Noninterest-bearing deposits grow $30.0 million
· Year-to-date net interest margin climbs to 3.83%
· Year-to-date net income more than doubles
October 25, 2011 Hampton, VA Old Point Financial Corporation (NASDAQ "OPOF") posted a profit of $2.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010. Income for the third quarter of 2011 was $1.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, effectively unchanged from the third quarter of 2010. The increase in year-to-date net income was due to a reduction in the provision for loan losses, from $7.5 million in the first nine months of 2010 to $2.9 million in the same period of 2011. Decreases in loans and in nonperforming assets between September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2011 allowed management to reduce the provision.
On September 30, 2011, nonperforming assets were 30.69% lower than nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2010, due to a 47.76% decline in nonaccrual loans over the same time period. Nonaccrual loans totaling $13.4 million were sold without recourse in the second and third quarters of 2011. Of the $6.4 million of net loans charged off in 2011, $4.2 million was due to three loans. The majority of the $6.4 million was included in the 2010 provision for loan losses when management realized that these losses were probable.
The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2011 was 3.87%, unchanged from the second quarter of 2011. The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 3.83%, a 26 basis-point improvement over the 3.57% net interest margin for the equivalent period in 2010. The year-to-date net interest margin continues to improve as higher-cost time deposits reprice to current, lower market rates. In addition, management has focused on increasing lower-cost funds and improving relationship management in the retail and corporate banking areas.
Noninterest income was down $192 thousand for the third quarter 2011 and down $859 thousand for the first nine months of 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010. In comparing the year-to-date numbers for 2011 and 2010, overdraft fee income was $533 thousand lower, due to changes in Regulation E in the third quarter of 2010. The changes to Regulation E require customers to authorize in advance overdrafts caused by debit card and ATM transactions. The Company has made an effort to educate customers on the benefits of its overdraft programs, and as a result, overdraft fee income for the third quarter of 2011 was up $40 thousand from the third quarter of 2010. Despite this positive sign, the Company expects continued uncertainty regarding overdraft fee income. To compensate for this uncertainty, the Company is developing and marketing other income-producing products, such as remote deposit capture and lockbox services, to help drive future noninterest income. As a result of this emphasis, income from merchant processing and debit cards together have grown $196 thousand, or 14.57%, between the first nine months of 2010 and the same period in 2011.
The comparison of noninterest income in 2011 to noninterest income in 2010 is complicated by two items that were unusually high in the first nine months of 2010. First, gains on sales of securities were $104 thousand lower in the first nine months of 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. Second, income from bank-owned life insurance was elevated in 2010 due to the receipt of insurance proceeds in the first quarter of that year. Additional policies were purchased in the third quarters of 2010 and 2011, which should help to increase noninterest income in the future. When the differences in overdraft income, securities gains, and income from bank-owned life insurance are eliminated, noninterest income was essentially unchanged in both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 when compared to the equivalent periods in 2010.
The Company’s noninterest expense increased by $137 thousand for the third quarter 2011 as compared to the third quarter 2010 and $1.1 million when comparing the first nine months of 2011 to the first nine months of 2010. For the nine months ending September 30, 2011, salaries and employee benefits increased by $668 thousand over the same period in 2010 as the Company added 12.5 full-time equivalent employees. Many of these newly hired employees are in the Company’s private banking and corporate lending areas and were hired to increase small business lending, treasury services, and lending in areas other than commercial real estate as part of management’s focus on increasing loans and noninterest income.
Other areas of noninterest expense that increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were loan expenses and losses on write-downs and sales of foreclosed assets. Both expense categories have increased as the Company manages problem loans created by the economic downturn. This increased focus has helped the Company to significantly reduce nonperforming assets as discussed above. However, these expenses will likely continue to be elevated for the foreseeable future.
Assets as of September 30, 2011 were $852.6 million, a decrease of $34.3 million, or 3.86%, compared to assets as of December 31, 2010, largely due to the current loan environment. In response to the lack of quality loan demand in recent years, management has placed an increased emphasis on improving the Company’s net interest margin by reducing dependence on higher-cost sources of funding. As a result, the Company’s higher-cost time deposits decreased by $25.6 million.
Term repurchase agreements also decreased, partially due to the exiting of certain high-cost, non-relationship accounts and partially due to an internal restructuring of the accounts of a single large customer from repurchase agreements to noninterest-bearing deposit accounts. Because the FDIC recently modified how deposit insurance premiums are calculated and noninterest-bearing deposits are now fully insured, the Company was able to make this change and free up the securities that were used as collateral for the repurchase agreements.
In addition to improving the Company’s net interest margin, Old Point has focused on relationship building. Noninterest-bearing deposits grew $30.0 million. A portion of this growth was due to the sale of high-quality treasury services. Customers pay for these services either with compensating balances or with fees which flow to noninterest income. As seen by both the balance sheet and the income statement, these efforts are working. The liability side of the balance sheet has shifted from higher cost non-relationship funds to lower cost, service providing accounts.
In the last quarter, Old Point participated in a number of community initiatives and events, including the Freedom Walk at Langley Speedway, the 50th Anniversary of Christopher Newport University, the Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce’s Business Safari, the Rotary Club of Chesapeake’s First Citizen Award Banquet, Denbigh Days, Hampton Bay Days, and the Chesapeake Regional Health Foundation’s Bra-ha-ha Award Show and Auction.
