VIRGINIA NATIONAL BANKSHARES CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

Charlottesville, VA – Virginia National Bankshares Corporation of Charlottesville, Virginia (the “Company”), reported its unaudited, consolidated financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 totaled $506 thousand or $0.19 per share, as compared to $538 thousand or $0.20 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The quarterly results represent an annualized return on average assets of 0.40%.

Highlights related to the Company’s consolidated earnings results include:

• Net interest income of $3.649 million in the first quarter of 2014 was $17 thousand greater than the net interest income of $3.632 reported in the fourth quarter of 2013 and an increase of $49 thousand from $3.600 million in the first quarter of 2013. Tax-equivalent yield on earning assets was 3.37% or an increase of 1 basis point during the first three months of 2014 as compared to the linked quarter ended December 31, 2013 and a decrease of 9 basis points when compared to the tax equivalent earning asset yield of 3.46% for the first three months of 2013. The average interest rate paid on deposits and repurchase agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 0.30% and it compares favorably to the rates paid for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013 of 0.31% and 0.35%, respectively.

• For the first quarter of 2014, Management did not record any provision for loan losses due primarily to the improvements in classified loans and the decline in outstanding loan balances. This compares favorably to the $220 thousand in provision recorded in the first quarter of 2013.

• Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2014 was $1.077 million or a decrease of $55 thousand from the $1.132 million reported for the first quarter of 2013. The lower revenue was the result of a decline in VNBTrust’s fixed fee revenue of $83 thousand. The net decline in AUMs year-over-year is responsible for the decline in fixed fee income. The reduction in trust income was offset by increases in brokerage and insurance service fees ($19 thousand) and a gain on sale of securities ($13 thousand).

• Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2014 was $4.165 million, an increase of $362 thousand from the $3.803 million reported in the first quarter of 2013. Increases in salaries and employee benefits of $209 thousand and other expense of $202 thousand were partially offset with a decrease in net occupancy of $23 thousand and in equipment costs of $26 thousand. Salaries and employee benefits increases for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013 are associated with strategic changes to compensation contracts and to 401(k) employer match contributions. The increase in other expense is attributable to a number of items, including: attorney collection fees ($13 thousand), OREO costs ($27 thousand), professional and consulting fees ($68 thousand), and deposit insurance premiums ($20 thousand). Professional and consulting fees rose due in part to the outsourcing of internal audit work until the Company’s internal auditor position is filled. Other expense variances are due to the timing of normal purchases rather than year-over-year increases or one-time costs. The decrease in occupancy expense is associated with the relocation of VNBTrust offices from formerly leased space into available space at the Company’s Pantops office building in Charlottesville and increases in rental income associated with a new tenant.

Other Information:

     Changes in other unaudited financial information are as follows:

• Total assets at March 31, 2014 totaled $534.0 million, an increase of $21.0 million from the $513.0 million reported at December 31, 2013 and a $43.0 million increase from the $491.0 million reported for March 31, 2013.

• Net loans outstanding at March 31, 2014 were $288.7 million, as compared to $296.7 million at December 31, 2013 and the $288.8 million at March 31, 2013. The average gross loan balances for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $298.8 million or $1.1 million greater than the average loan balance of $297.7 million for the linked quarter ended December 31, 2013 and an increase of $11.1 million compared to $287.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

• Criticized loans continued to decline during the first quarter of 2014, decreasing $1.3 million from the $7.8 million reported at December 31, 2013 and decreasing $4.8 million from the $11.3 million reported at March 31, 2013. Nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2014 were $481 thousand, an increase of $114 thousand from $367 thousand at December 31, 2013, but $807 thousand less than the $1.3 million in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014 the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 1.15%. The net charge off (net recoveries)-to-average loans ratio was a net recovery of (0.02) % for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

• Deposit and repurchase sweep balances totaled $473.6 million at March 31, 2014, up $26.8 million from the $446.8 million at December 31, 2013, and up $37.6 million from the $436.0 million at March 31, 2013. Of the total, repurchase agreements comprised $13.4 million at March 31, 2104, $16.3 million at December 31, 2013 and $3.0 million at March 31, 2013. The surge in deposit balances for the first quarter of 2014 is primarily attributable to the deposits of proceeds from significant customer real estate transactions. Management expects these deposit balances to decline in the second quarter as these real estate transactions are settled and funds are distributed.

• Total shareholders’ equity was $58.9 million at March 31, 2014 or $900 thousand greater than the $58.0 million at December 31, 2013, and up $4.8 million from $54.1 million at March 31, 2013. The accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), which consists of the unrealized gain or loss in the investment portfolio, decreased $565 thousand to an unrealized loss of $866 thousand at March 31, 2014 as compared to the $1.431 million at December 31, 2013. These changes in AOCI stem from investment portfolio market valuation changes, in this case, due to a decline in long-term interest rates at March 31, 2014 as compared to long-term rates at December 31, 2013.

• The Company’s capital ratios exceed the regulatory requirements for being considered a well-capitalized bank holding company. The Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of the Company was 11.67% at March 31, 2014 as compared to 11.86% at December 31, 2013 and 10.85% at March 31, 2013. Total Risk-based Capital Ratio was 18.66% at March 31, 2014 as compared to 18.00% at December 31, 2013 and 16.29% at March 31, 2013. The book value per share at March 31, 2014 was $21.90.

Per Share, Performance and Capital Ratios

¹ The net interest margin is reported on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE). GAAP income presented on the income statement for investment securities totaling $664 thousand and $570 thousand for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and for March 31, 2013, respectively, has been adjusted to $705 thousand and $605 thousand, respectively, to reflect the taxable equivalence of the tax-exempt securities using a Federal income tax rate of 34%. Other periods shown were likewise adjusted to reflect the tax equivalent basis.

² The efficiency ratio is computed as a percentage of non-interest expense divided by fully tax equivalent (FTE) net interest income and non-interest income. The computation for prior periods has been adjusted to reflect the net interest income adjustment for the tax equivalence of tax exempt securities. The efficiency ratio is a Non-GAAP financial measure that management believes will provide investors with information regarding operational efficiency. Other companies may calculate their efficiency ratio differently so direct comparions may not be possible.
