FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VIRGINIA NATIONAL BANKSHARES CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Charlottesville, VA – October 20, 2017 – Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (OTCQX: VABK) (the “Company”) today reported third quarter 2017 net income of $1.7 million or $0.72 per diluted share, a 25.0% increase compared to net income of $1.4 million or $0.59 per diluted share recognized during the third quarter of 2016.

“We continue to generate solid earnings in this sustained low interest rate environment,” stated Glenn W. Rust, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our efficiency ratio remains low at 58.6% for the third quarter and 58.1% year-to-date. Our return on average assets was 1.11% for the quarter and 1.15% for the first nine months of the year. Our dedication to strong credit quality remains, as represented by our significantly low level of non-performing assets. Our ongoing efforts to attain an effective mix of earning assets, including restructuring the securities portfolio to earn higher yields, and prolonged low cost of funds continue to place us in a position for success.”

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights

The annualized return on average assets of 1.11% increased from 0.98% for the third quarter of 2016.
The efficiency ratio was 58.6%, improving from 63.8% for the third quarter of 2016.
Average gross loans totaled $497.0 million, up $74.4 million or 17.6% from the $422.6 million averaged during the third quarter of 2016.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.76% as of September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, compared to 0.77% at December 31, 2016. A provision for loan losses of $168 thousand was recognized in the third quarter of 2017.
Total assets of $610.3 million were 7.2% higher than the September 30, 2016 balance of $569.5 million. The year-over-year net growth in assets was funded by expansion in core deposits and short-term borrowings.
Low-cost deposits, which include both noninterest and interest-bearing checking accounts as well as money market accounts, remained in excess of 77% of total deposits.
The loan-to-deposit ratio was 98.8%, compared to 91.9% at December 31, 2016 and 87.0% at September 30, 2016. This increase is in line with our strategy to achieve an effective mix of earning assets and liabilities on our balance sheet.
The tax-equivalent net interest margin (NIM) of 3.70% improved 20 basis points as compared to the prior quarter level of 3.50% and improved 29 basis points as compared to the prior third quarter NIM of 3.41%.
Net interest income of $5.5 million increased $946 thousand or 20.9% compared to $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2016.


Third Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights, continued

The cost of funds of 23 basis points increased five basis points from 18 basis points in the same period in the prior year, remaining low compared to peers.
 

Noninterest income of $1.2 million declined $255 thousand or 18.0% compared to the same quarter in the prior year, primarily driven by a $78 thousand loss on the sale of securities, compared to a gain in the comparable period of $181 thousand. During the current quarter, we restructured a portion of our investment portfolio to achieve higher yields, resulting in the realized losses.
 

Noninterest expense of $3.9 million increased by $96 thousand or 2.5% compared to third quarter of 2016, partially due to the expenses associated with hiring experienced loan officers.
 

Tangible book value per share was $26.50, compared to $24.49 at December 31, 2016 and $24.57 at September 30, 2016. Dividends of $386 thousand were declared during the third quarter of 2017, while the remaining net income of $1.4 million or 77.9% was retained.
 

Capital ratios continue to be well in excess of regulatory requirements for well-capitalized banks.

1 Ratio is computed on an annualized basis.

2 The net interest margin and net interest income are reported on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE), using a Federal income tax rate of 34%.

3 The efficiency ratio is computed as a percentage of noninterest expense divided by the sum of fully tax equivalent (FTE) net interest income and noninterest income. This is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides investors with important information regarding operational efficiency. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate them differently.
