Old Point Releases First Quarter 2015 Results
· | Net income increases 23.34% |
· | Net loans increase $18.9 million |
· | Assets increase $11.4 million |
· | Quarterly net interest margin continues to improve |
April 23, 2015 Hampton, VA Old Point Financial Corporation (NASDAQ "OPOF") reported net income of $1.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015, up $228 thousand from the first quarter of 2014. Higher net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by higher noninterest expense and a higher provision for loan losses, were the factors behind the 23.34% increase in net income when comparing the first quarters of 2014 and 2015.
Assets as of March 31, 2015 were $887.7 million, an increase of $11.4 million or 1.30% when compared to December 31, 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, Old Point continued to grow loans, funding this growth through the securities portfolio, excess liquidity held in cash and due from banks, and increases in low-cost deposits. Net loans grew $18.9 million, or 3.57%, during the first quarter of 2015, while noninterest-bearing and savings deposits grew $9.0 million, securities declined $4.8 million, and cash and due from banks declined $4.0 million. As loans typically bear higher yields than securities and significantly higher yields than cash and due from banks, total interest and dividend income increased $38 thousand when comparing the first three months of 2014 and 2015. This shift in the composition of the asset base also increased Old Point's net interest margin for the first quarter of 2015 to 3.58%, from 3.43% for the first quarter of 2014.
In prior years, Old Point has worked to lower the cost of its time deposits, with these efforts leading to a $138 thousand reduction in interest expense in the first quarter of 2015, as compared to the first quarter of 2014. As a result of both the shift in assets from securities to loans and the reduction in interest expense, net interest income before the provision increased $176 thousand when comparing the first quarters of 2014 and 2015. The growth in the loan portfolio required Old Point to set aside $275 thousand through the provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2015, or $25 thousand more than the provision in the same period in 2014, but net interest income after the provision was still $151 thousand higher in the first quarter of 2015 than in the first quarter of 2014.
Both noninterest income and noninterest expense increased when comparing the first quarters of 2014 and 2015, with noninterest income growing more than noninterest expense. Every major category of noninterest income increased between the first quarters of 2014 and 2015, with the largest dollar increases in income from fiduciary activities and other service charges, commissions and fees. The increase in other service charges, commissions and fees was mainly due to income from securities brokerage sales. Noninterest expense increased only $24 thousand, or 0.29%, when comparing the first quarter of 2015 to the same period in 2014. Most categories decreased by varying degrees, with increases mainly in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $213 thousand, or 19.12% when comparing the first quarters of 2014 and 2015, due to the completion of Old Point's new corporate headquarters.

Other items of note:
Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) decreased from $11.8 million as of December 31, 2014 to $11.3 million as of March 31, 2015. NPAs do not include restructured loans that are performing in accordance with their modified terms. Loans past due 90 days or more but still accruing interest, a component of NPAs, totaled $1.4 million as of March 31, 2015, nearly all of which were student loans that are 97-98% guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Old Point expects to experience minimal losses on these government-guaranteed loans. At December 31, 2014, government-guaranteed student loans 90 days or more past due but still accruing interest totaled $1.0 million.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was 1.33% and 1.32% of total loans, respectively.
Net loans charged off as a percent of total loans (annualized) were a negative 0.04% for the first quarter of 2015, or a net recovery of $60 thousand as loan recoveries exceeded charge-offs during this quarter. This net recovery is compared to 0.19% in annualized net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2014.
