Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

  • Net interest income increased $4.2 million, or 15.0%, to $32.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to a 36 basis point increase in earning assets and a one basis point decrease in funding costs;
  • Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis ("FTE"), increased 36 basis points to 3.27% compared to the first quarter of 2022 and increased 48 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2021;
  • Total portfolio loans increased $103.9 million, or 14.4% on an annualized basis, to $3.0 billion at June 30, 2022 compared to March 31, 2022;
  • Total deposits increased $25.1 million, or 2.7% on an annualized basis, to $3.8 billion at June 30, 2022 compared to March 31, 2022, and increased $94.1 million, or 2.7% on an annualized basis, compared to June 30, 2021. The increases from March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 were primarily due to increased core deposits, offset by the intentional runoff of certificates of deposits ("CDs");
  • Core deposits, including noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, money market and savings accounts increased $49.1 million compared to March 31, 2022 and increased $290.8 million compared to June 30, 2021;
  • During the second quarter of 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional common share repurchase program to purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to the Federal Reserve's non-objection letter, which was received on July 26, 2022;
  • Nonperforming loans increased $4.7 million, or 64.8% to $12.0 million at June 30, 2022 compared to March 31, 2022 and increased $2.5 million, or 25.7%, from June 30, 2021. The increase from March 31, 2022 is primarily due to the deterioration of a purchased syndicated commercial and industrial ("C&I") loan totaling $4.9 million. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total portfolio loans were 0.40%, 0.25% and 0.33% as of June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively;
  • The provision for credit losses totaled $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022;
  • On May 4, 2022, the Company expanded into Charlotte, NC with the opening of its new regional East Morehead office, which provides a full service retail and commercial lending center.

"We are very pleased with the solid second quarter financial results for our Company. The strong results of the quarter continue the positive momentum of the Company as we continued to see positive trends in net interest income expansion, loan growth, and expense control. Loans grew by an annualized rate of 14.4% since March 31, 2022, with strong production in our commercial and residential mortgage portfolios. Loan pipelines also remain healthy. Our balance sheet is positioned to benefit from the rising interest rate environment. In the second quarter of 2022, our net interest income expanded $4.2 million, or 15.0%, as a result of recent interest rate increases in our floating rate loans and securities," stated Litz H. Van Dyke, Chief Executive Officer. "These factors are driving improvement in operating leverage and financial performance. The Company continues to be well capitalized, has strong liquidity, has improved asset quality and strong reserve levels, all of which will be beneficial should the economy trend towards recession."

Van Dyke continued, "We are also extremely pleased with the success of our previously authorized two million share repurchase program which was completed as of April 27, 2022. We believe that this program was a prudent way to utilize excess capital in order to generate increased shareholder value. On June 22, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional common share repurchase program of up to 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to the Federal Reserve's non-objection letter, which was received on July 26, 2022."

Operating Highlights

Net interest income increased $4.2 million, or 15.0%, to $32.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2022 and $5.3 million, or 19.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. The net interest margin, on an FTE basis 3 , increased 36 basis points to 3.27% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and increased 48 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2021. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 36 basis points and 34 basis points compared to the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Funding costs declined one basis point compared to the previous quarter and 21 basis points compared to the same quarter of 2021.

The Company continues to focus on the expansion of net interest income and the net interest margin. The second quarter of 2022 was positively impacted by an increase in the yield on loans and investment securities as well as the continued decline in funding costs. The increase in the yield on loans and securities is due to the rising interest rate environment. The second quarter of 2022 was also positively impacted by the collection of significant fees and enhanced pricing on loans related to one large credit relationship. Certain of these loans may not be renewed at maturity and/or may not otherwise impact the net interest income and net interest margin as significantly in future periods.

The provision for credit losses increased $1.2 million to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in the provision for credit losses was primarily driven by the aforementioned deterioration of one purchased syndicated C&I loan which resulted in a $2.6 million specific reserve partially offset by a decline in the other segment due to principal pay downs.

The provision for unfunded commitments in the second quarter of 2022 was a provision of $0.3 million compared to a release of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 and a release of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase to the provision for unfunded commitments in the second quarter of 2022 related to increased commitment volume in construction, partially offset by a decrease in the reserve rates.

At June 30, 2022 nonperforming loans increased $4.7 million, or 64.8%, to $12.0 million since March 31, 2022 due to the deterioration of the purchased syndicated C&I loan previously mentioned. Net charge-offs were $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $8.5 million in the same period of 2021. As a percentage of average portfolio loans, on an annualized basis, net charge-offs were 0.03% and 1.15% for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total portfolio loans were 0.40%, 0.25% and 0.33% as of June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Total noninterest income was $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $0.3 million, or 5.1%, from the first quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $1.6 million, or 22.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase of $0.3 million from the first quarter of 2022 related to various fluctuations. Commercial loan swap fee income increased $0.8 million, insurance commissions increased $0.3 million and higher net securities gains of $0.1 million. These increases were offset by the sales and write-downs on bank premises, net of $0.4 million, a $0.2 million decrease in services charges, commissions and fees, a $0.1 million decrease in debit card interchange fees and a decrease of $0.2 million in other noninterest income.

The decrease of $1.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by declines in net security gains of $1.4 million. Other decreases included $0.6 million in other noninterest expenses, offset by increases of $0.3 million in service charges, commissions and fees, as well as an increase of $0.2 million in insurance commissions. The variances shown in commercial loan swap fee income is related to the timing and demand for this product in the current rising interest rate environment. Changes between the comparable periods for service charges on deposit accounts and debit card interchange fees was primarily volume driven. The increases in insurance commissions was due to increased customer activity. The variances in other noninterest income compared to the year ago quarter related to a premium of $0.5 million on the sale of four bank branches in the second quarter of 2021.

Total noninterest expense was $23.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $0.9 million, or 4.0%, from the first quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $4.3 million, or 15.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase from the first quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by $0.7 million higher salaries and employee benefits resulting from an increase of $0.2 million due to one extra working day in the second quarter of 2022, a $0.4 million incentive true-up and a $0.1 million profit sharing adjustment in the first quarter of 2022.

The decrease of $4.3 million in total noninterest expense compared to the second quarter of 2021 was driven by decreases of $2.7 million in losses on sales and write-downs of other real estate owned ("OREO"), net, $1.2 million in salaries and employee benefits, $0.2 million in professional and legal fees and $0.2 million in occupancy expense, net. The losses on sales and write-downs of OREO, net, related to a one-time charge for bank branches of $3.0 million closed in the second quarter of 2021, transferred to OREO and marketed for sale. The decrease compared to the year ago period in salaries and employee benefits was primarily related to lower salaries of $0.4 million as a result of our retail branch optimization project and a decrease of $0.8 million in medical costs.

Financial Condition

Total assets was $4.1 billion at June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022. Total portfolio loans increased $103.9 million, or 14.4% on an annualized basis, to $3.0 billion at June 30, 2022 compared to March 31, 2022 primarily due to higher loan growth in the second quarter of 2022. OREO decreased $2.8 million at June 30, 2022 compared to March 31, 2022.

Closed retail bank offices have a remaining book value of $1.0 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $1.5 million at March 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, two branch closures were completed as part of our branch network optimization project that aligns with our strategic goals to enhance franchise value and improve operating efficiency.

Federal Reserve Bank excess reserves decreased $16.7 million to $26.3 million at June 30, 2022 from $43.0 million at March 31, 2022 due to solid loan growth in the first half of 2022.

The securities portfolio decreased $75.0 million and is currently 22.0% of total assets at June 30, 2022 compared to 23.8% of total assets at March 31, 2022. The decrease is due to redeploying security maturities into higher yielding loan growth. We have further diversified the securities portfolio as to bond types, maturities and interest rate structures.

Total deposits increased $25.1 million to $3.8 billion at June 30, 2022 as compared to $3.7 billion at March 31, 2022. The increases included $28.8 million in money market accounts, $19.1 million in interest-bearing demand accounts and $5.3 million in savings accounts, offset by the intentional decline of $24.0 million in CDs and $4.1 million in noninterest-bearing demand accounts. At June 30, 2022, noninterest-bearing deposits comprised 18.8% compared to 19.0% and 19.7% of total deposits at March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. CDs comprised 33.6%, 34.5% and 39.8% of total deposits at June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

The Company remains well capitalized. The Company's Tier 1 Capital ratio was 12.70% at June 30, 2022 as compared to 12.98% at March 31, 2022. The Company's leverage ratio was 9.96% at June 30, 2022 as compared to 10.00% at March 31, 2022. The Company's Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 13.96% at June 30, 2022 as compared to 14.24% at March 31, 2022.

Total capital decreased $24.4 million to $334.1 million at June 30, 2022 compared to March 31, 2022. The decrease in total capital during 2022 is primarily due to a $27.7 million decrease in other comprehensive income due to changes in fair value of available-for-sale investment securities, $7.8 million is related to the repurchase of common stock through June 30, 2022, offset by net income of $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The remaining difference of $0.3 million is related to restricted stock activity through June 30, 2022.

At June 30, 2022, funding sources accessible to the Company include borrowing availability at the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), equal to 25.0% of the Company's assets or approximately $1.0 billion, subject to the amount of eligible collateral pledged, federal funds unsecured lines with six other correspondent financial institutions in the amount of $145.0 million and access to the institutional CD market. In addition to the above funding resources, the Company also has $728.5 million of unpledged available-for-sale investment securities as an additional source of liquidity.
