February 16, 2016 Hampton, VA Old Point Financial Corporation (NASDAQ "OPOF") reported net income of $3.6 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to net income of $4.1 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2014. Higher net interest and noninterest income were offset by a higher provision for loan losses and a one-time expense for the retirement package provided to the former president. Robert F. Shuford, Jr., who was appointed President and CEO of Old Point National Bank in September 2015, said, "During the fourth quarter, we had the opportunity to reevaluate our credit culture, sales management process, and investment strategy and look for ways to improve income in future years and provide value to our shareholders and the community."
Assets as of December 31, 2015 were $896.8 million, and net loans were $560.7 million. During 2015, Old Point continued to grow loans, funding this growth through cash flows from the securities portfolio and increased low-cost deposits. Net loans grew $31.8 million, or 6.02%, over the year, while securities declined $15.2 million and low-cost deposits increased $43.1 million. Old Point's low-cost deposits now comprise 71.87% of total deposits, approximately 15% higher than Virginia banks based on FDIC data as of December 31, 2015.
Old Point's investment portfolio includes mortgage-backed securities, which provide an ongoing source of cash flows that can be reinvested into loans or securities. In the fourth quarter of 2015, management began due diligence on a new investment strategy and allowed cash flows from the investment portfolio to remain in cash and due from banks until the analysis and restructuring of the portfolio is complete. This restructuring is designed to provide additional interest income and improved market value in future years. As part of this restructuring, Old Point transferred its portfolio of held-to-maturity securities to available-for-sale, in order to provide additional liquidity and flexibility in the future.
The shift in the balance sheet from securities to loans also better positions Old Point for 2016, as a significant portion of the loan growth in 2015 was in variable rate products. Variable rate loans reduce Old Point's interest rate risk and will increase income when interest rates rise. This loan growth was driven in part by Old Point's purchased loan program, which included student loans and the guaranteed portion of USDA and SBA loans. In 2015, Old Point also increased its focus on traditional small business lending and relationship-driven retail lending. This increased focus has fueled low-cost deposit growth and decreased the need for higher-cost time deposits, resulting in lower interest expense. Due to all of these changes, net interest income before the provision was $223 thousand higher in 2015 than in 2014.
Noninterest income increased $492 thousand between 2014 and 2015, mainly due to increased income from Old Point Mortgage and fiduciary activities. Increases in income from brokerage sales, pension record-keeping services, and merchant services also contributed to the increase in noninterest income. Also when comparing 2014 and 2015, most categories of noninterest expense decreased, but salaries and employee benefits were significantly impacted by a one-time charge to record the retirement package offered to Old Point's former president. Although the retirement package will be paid in 2016, accounting rules required that the entire amount be expensed in 2015. Other than this one-time expense, salary expense--a component of salaries and employee benefits--was essentially flat between 2014 and 2015.

Other items of note:
Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) decreased from $11.8 million as of December 31, 2014 to $10.7 million as of December 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 $3.4 million as of December 31, 2015, of which $3.2 million 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 December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was 1.36% and 1.32% of total loans, respectively.
Net loans charged off as a percent of total loans (annualized) were 0.06% for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to 0.07% in 2014. This decline in net charge-offs was partially due to loan recoveries received during 2015.
Net interest margin (NIM) was 3.56% for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to 3.57% for the year ended December 31, 2014.
