Danville, VA -- American National Bankshares Inc. (“American National”) (NASDAQ: AMNB), parent company of American National Bank and Trust Company, today announced net income of $3,963,000 for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $4,037,000 for the third quarter of 2015, a $74,000 or 1.8% decrease. Diluted net income per common share was $0.45 for the 2016 quarter compared to $0.47 for the 2015 quarter. Net income for the third quarter of 2016 produced annualized returns on average assets of 0.99%, on average equity of 7.79%, and on average tangible equity of 10.41%.
Net income for the first nine months of 2016 was $12,179,000 compared to $10,432,000 for the comparable period of 2015, a $1,747,000 or 16.7% increase. Basic and diluted net income per common share was $1.41 for the 2016 period compared to $1.20 for the 2015 period.
Financial Performance and Overview
Jeffrey V. Haley, President and Chief Executive Officer, reported, “We are excited about our results for 2016 and even more excited about our prospects for 2017. We recently announced the hiring of a team of bankers in Roanoke and a team of bankers in Winston-

Salem. We believe these two de novo efforts will complement our existing organic growth and expand our footprint in North Carolina and Virginia. We anticipate these new initiatives will have a material and positive impact to the bank’s balance sheet, especially over the next five quarters.
“In the meantime, the legacy bank is growing well. Loans have increased $102.2 million or 10.4% during the past year. We are encouraged that a combination of active business development and improving local market economic conditions are resulting in this high quality growth. However, the continuing challenge for us in this competitive environment is achieving reasonable risk adjusted yield on lending.
Deposits, which are needed to fund loans, have grown $79.5 million or 6.5% over the past year. This growth is mostly in non-maturity, core deposits, the heart of our balance sheet. We continue working to grow these core deposits and their affiliated relationships, but the challenge in this ongoing low rate environment is to do so in a cost effective yet competitive manner. Our cost of interest bearing deposits for the third quarter was 0.53%, compared to 0.52% for the 2015 quarter.
“Earnings for the quarter were good, $3,963,000 compared to $4,037,000, a decrease of $74,000 or 1.8%. The major driver for this slight decrease was increased salaries expense, largely related to the de novo Roanoke start up.”
Haley concluded, “We believe American National has tremendous growth potential, in our new and our existing markets. We think that the next year can be transformational for us. We believe we can achieve this dynamic change and maintain the same fundamental corporate character, i.e. asset quality and strong capital, that has served the bank so well over the past decade.”

Net Interest Income
Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased to $12,464,000 in the third quarter of 2016 from $12,061,000 in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $403,000 or 3.3%.
For the 2016 quarter, the net interest margin was 3.50% compared to 3.64% for the same quarter in 2015, a decrease of 14 basis points (0.14%). The decrease in net interest margin was driven by lower yields on earning assets and reduced levels of accretion income.
Provision for Loan Losses and Allowance for Loan Losses
Provision expense for the third quarter of 2016 was $100,000 compared to zero for the third quarter of 2015.
There has been significant growth in the loans outstanding over the past four quarters. The need for additions to the allowance for loan losses was reduced by improvement in various qualitative factors used in the determination of the allowance, notably asset quality and economic conditions. As noted in the Credit Quality Measurements discussion, non-performing assets, charge-offs, and other real estate owned are all improved over the past year.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.18% at September 30, 2016 compared to 1.29% at September 30, 2015.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $3,120,000 in the third quarter of 2016, compared with $3,055,000 in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $65,000 or 2.1%. Mortgage banking income was the most notable change, as it increased to $512,000, up 36.2% over the prior year quarter.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $9,867,000 in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $9,388,000 in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $479,000 or 5.1%. The increase in

expenses included compensation and start-up expenses related to the de novo branch in Roanoke.
