“During the third quarter the company saw continued improvement in net interest margin thanks to proactive deposit pricing boosted by sticky noninterest-bearing deposits continuing to represent 31% of total deposits,” said Scott C. Harvard, President and CEO. “We also benefited from a 16% increase in ATM and check card fees and an 8% increase in wealth management fees in the quarter. During the quarter, loans acquired from third party lenders continued to be a drag on what otherwise was excellent financial performance, with an adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax return on average assets of 1.29% for the period. We continue to be excited about the recent acquisition of Touchstone Bankshares, Inc., which closed on October 1, and look forward to integrating our two companies and building value for our shareholders.”

MERGER WITH TOUCHSTONE BANKSHARES, INC.

 

The Company completed the acquisition of Touchstone Bankshares, Inc. (“Touchstone”) with and into the Company, effective October 1, 2024 (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, Touchstone Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of Touchstone, was merged with and into First Bank. Pursuant to the previously announced terms of the Merger, each outstanding share of Touchstone common stock and preferred stock (on an as-converted, one-for-one basis, which shares of preferred stock converted automatically to common stock at the effective time of the Merger) received 0.8122 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Following the Merger, the former branches of Touchstone Bank assumed in the Merger continued to operate in Virginia as Touchstone Bank, a division of First Bank, and, in North Carolina, as Touchstone Bank, a division of First Bank, Strasburg, Virginia, until the systems integration is completed in February 2025. With the addition of Touchstone, the Company would have had approximately $2.1 billion in assets, $1.5 billion in loans and $1.8 billion in deposits on a combined pro-forma basis as of September 30, 2024. The combined company delivers banking services through thirty-three branch offices in Virginia and North Carolina and three loan production offices, in addition to its full complement of online banking services. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company incurred pre-tax merger costs of approximately $219 thousand related to the Merger. Effective October 1, 2024, common stock outstanding of First National Corporation totaled 8,970,345.

 

NET INTEREST INCOME

 

Net interest income increased $255 thousand, or 2%, to $11.7 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024. Total interest income increased by $389 thousand, or 2%, and was partially offset by a $134 thousand, or 2%, increase in total interest expense. The net interest margin⁽¹⁾ increased to 3.43%, up from 3.40% for the second quarter.

 

The $389 thousand increase in total interest income was attributable to a $475 thousand increase in interest and fees on loans, which was partially offset by a $43 thousand decrease in interest income on securities and a $41 thousand decrease in interest on deposits in banks. The increase in interest and fees on loans was attributable to a 9-basis point increase in the yield on the loan portfolio and a $9.2 million increase in the average balance of loans. The decrease in interest income on deposits in other banks was attributable to a $2.9 million decrease in average balances. The decrease in interest income on securities was attributable to a $1.7 million decrease in the average balance of total securities and an 8-basis point decrease in yield. The yield on total earning assets increased to 5.08% from 5.03% in the second quarter. 

 

The $134 thousand increase in total interest expense was primarily attributable to a $138 thousand increase in interest expense on deposits. The increase in interest expense on deposits resulted from a $933 thousand increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits and a 4-basis point increase in cost. The total cost of funds was 1.72% for the third quarter of 2024, which was a 3-basis point increase compared to the second quarter of 2024.

 

 

NONINTEREST INCOME

 

Noninterest income totaled $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2024, which was a $517 thousand, or 19%, increase from the second quarter of 2024 and was attributable to increases in all income categories. ATM and check card fees and fees for other customer services increased $125 thousand and $98 thousand, respectively. There were also increases in wealth management fees, service charges on deposit accounts, and brokered mortgage fees of $73 thousand, $63 thousand, and $60 thousand, respectively.

 

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

 

Noninterest expense totaled $10.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, which was a decrease of $200 thousand, or 2%, compared to the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $528 thousand decrease in legal and professional fees, which was a result of lower merger-related expenses in the third quarter compared to the prior period. Merger expenses totaled $219 thousand for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $571 thousand in the second quarter of 2024.

Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of total loans were 0.63% for the third quarter of 2024, 0.19% for the second quarter of 2024 and 0.03% for the third quarter of 2023. The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $12.7 million, or 1.28% of total loans on September 30, 2024, $12.6 million, or 1.27% of total loans on June 30, 2024, and $8.9 million, or 0.93% of total loans on September 30, 2023 .

Loans past due greater than 30 days and still accruing interest totaled $2.4 million on September 30, 2024, $2.4 million on June 30, 2024, and $1.8 million on September 30, 2023.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

In addition to financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that the Company’s management believes provide useful information for financial and operational decision making, evaluating trends, and comparing financial results to other financial institutions. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document include adjusted net income, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average equity, pre-provision pre-tax earnings, adjusted pre-provision pre-tax earnings, fully taxable equivalent interest income, the net interest margin, the efficiency ratio, tangible book value per share, and tangible common equity to tangible assets.

 

The Company believes certain non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of its business, performance and financial position. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and not a substitute for, or more important than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to those reported by other financial institutions. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included at the end of this release.
