Fauquier Bankshares Announces Third Quarter 2014 Earnings
Net income of $1.42 million or $0.38 per diluted share for the quarter
Net income growth of 24.7% YTD; $3.65 million versus $2.93 million for 2013

Nonperforming assets declined 45% from a year ago; currently represent only 0.62% of total assets
WARRENTON, VA., October 28, 2014 -- Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FBSS) parent company of The Fauquier Bank (TFB) reported net income of $1.42 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared with $1.16 million for the third quarter of 2013.  Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.38 and $0.31 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.  Net income for the first nine months of 2014 was $3.65 million compared with $2.93 million for the same period of 2013.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.98 compared with $0.79 for the same period in 2013.
Return on average assets was 0.95% and return on average equity was 10.43% for the third quarter of 2014 compared with 0.78% and 9.51%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2013. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, Fauquier Bankshares' return on average assets was 0.82% and return on average equity was 9.21%, compared with 0.66% and 8.10%, respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.
Randy K. Ferrell, President and CEO, said, "We are very pleased with our continued growth of net income each quarter this year resulting in year to date growth of 25%."
Net interest margin was 3.58% in the third quarter of 2014 compared with 3.76% for the same period in 2013.  Net interest income for the third quarter of 2014 decreased $261,000 or 5.1% to $4.89 million when compared with $5.15 million for the same period in 2013. Net interest margin was 3.58% for the first nine months of 2014 compared with 3.65% for the same period in 2013.  Net interest income for the first nine months of 2014 was $14.57 million compared with $14.92 million for the same period in 2013.  The decrease in net interest margin was attributable to lower loan demand and excess liquidity, whereby the bank is holding cash above that which is required and seeking ways to invest it.
"We continue to see improvement in nonperforming assets as they decline to their lowest levels since June 2009," Ferrell said. "Over the last nine months, there has been a significant positive turn around in our investment in the trust preferred stock of other banks. Additionally, over the last six months these investments have gone from nonperforming to performing status, and are current on all contractual interest payments." During that nine-month period the market value of trust preferred bonds increased from $2.25 million at December 31, 2013 to $3.1 million at September 30, 2014.
Nonperforming assets decreased 45% to $3.64 million, or 0.62% of period end total assets, at September 30, 2014, compared with $6.59 million, or 1.11% of period end total assets, at September 30, 2013. Included in nonperforming assets at September 30, 2014 were $2.2 million of nonperforming loans and $1.4 million of other real estate owned.  Nonaccrual loans declined $2.8 million at September 30, 2014 compared with a year earlier. Net loan charge-offs for the first nine months of 2014 were $72,000, or 0.02% of average loans, compared with $1.08 million for the same period in 2013, or 0.24% of average loans.
There were no provisions for loan losses recorded for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, compared with $333,000 and $1.30 million for the same periods in 2013 due to improved credit quality. The allowance for loan losses was $6.6 million or 1.51% of total loans at September 30, 2014 compared with $6.5 million or 1.42% at September 30, 2013.
Noninterest income increased $241,000 to $1.93 million in the third quarter 2014 compared with $1.69 million in the same quarter in 2013. The increase was primarily due to the receipt of approximately $300,000 in tax-free death benefit in excess of surrender value related to bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI").
Total assets were $588.2 million at September 30, 2014 compared with $595.4 million at September 30, 2013.  Total loans, net were $431.3 million at September 30, 2014 compared with $448.5 million at September 30, 2013.  Total deposits were $507.8 million at September 30, 2014 compared with $522.8 million at September 30, 2013. Transaction deposits (Demand and NOW accounts) declined $5.1 million to $290.6 million at September 30, 2014 compared with $295.7 million at September 30, 2013, representing 57.2% of total deposits.
Shareholders' equity increased to $54.6 million at September 30, 2014 compared with $48.9 million at September 30, 2013.  The book value of FBSS stock was $14.62 per common share as of September 30, 2014.  Fauquier Bankshares' stock price closed at $19.59 per share on October 27, 2014.  The Company's regulatory capital ratios continue to be deemed "Well Capitalized".  At September 30, 2014, the Company's leverage ratio was 9.91%, compared with 9.31% one year earlier.  The Company's tier 1 and total risk-based ratios were 14.08% and 15.34%, respectively, at September 30, 2014, compared with 12.93% and 14.18% at September 30, 2013. Currently, the minimum capital ratios to be considered "Well Capitalized" by the Federal Reserve are 5.00% for the leverage ratio, 6.00% for the tier 1 risk-based ratio, and 10.00% for the total risk-based ratio.
"Over the past twelve months, we have seen the overall financial strength of our bank increase significantly. Our management team has done a good job of addressing nonperforming assets. We've also increased our tangible equity, a good measure of financial strength, by 12% over last year," said Ferrell. "The additional capital has allowed us to boost our efforts in Prince William County with two new branches and a well-staffed commercial lending production office."
