FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VIRGINIA NATIONAL BANKSHARES CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Charlottesville, VA – July 30, 2018 – Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (OTCQX: VABK) (the “Company”) today reported second quarter 2018 net income of $1.8 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, an $88 thousand or 4.6% decrease compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, recognized during the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in net income is attributable to the increase in allowance for loan losses, and therefore increase in provision for loan losses during the quarter. The increase in the provision for loan losses, from $115 thousand in the second quarter of 2017 to $701 thousand in the current quarter, was largely driven by the loss of insurance covering the Company’s purchased student loan portfolio and the need to provide for an adequate allowance.

“Despite our increase in allowance for loan losses and related provision, I am pleased with the solid earnings that we have realized this year,” said Glenn W. Rust, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The 58% increase in our quarterly cash dividend, to $0.30 per share as approved by the Board of Directors in May of this year, is a testimony to our continued and consistent solid financial performance.”

Second Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2018 increased $365 thousand, or 6.9%, compared to the same period in 2017. Year-to-date net interest income increased $1.0 million, or 9.7%, over the same period in 2017.

   

Net interest margin (FTE) fell seven basis points to 3.78% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 3.85% for the first quarter of 2018 yet improved 28 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2017.

   

The cost of funds of 47 basis points for the second quarter of 2018 increased 25 basis points from 22 basis points for the second quarter of 2017, due to increased rates on deposit accounts and higher cost of borrowed funds. Low-cost deposits, which include noninterest checking accounts and interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market accounts, remained in excess of 75% of total deposits at the end of the second quarter 2018 and 2017 as well as the end of the 2017.

   

Total assets of $654.7 million increased $10.8 million, or 1.7%, since the prior year-end and increased $40.1 million, or 6.5%, since June 30, 2017.

   

Gross loans outstanding at June 30, 2018 totaled $535.0 million, which represented an increase of $6.2 million, or 1.2%, over the 2017 year-end balance, and an increase of $42.2 million, or 8.6%, compared to June 30, 2017.

   

The loan-to-deposit ratio was 99.7% as of June 30, 2018, compared to 97.4% as of December 31, 2017 and 92.9% as of June 30, 2017. This year-over-year increase is in line with our strategy to achieve an effective mix of earning assets and liabilities on our balance sheet.

   

The period-end allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased to 0.88%, due to the need for increased allowance for loan loss balances as a result of the loss of surety bonds covering the student loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 was 0.76% and 0.75%, respectively.

   

A provision for loan losses of $701 thousand was recognized in the second quarter of 2018 due to the above noted loss of surety bonds. A provision for loan losses of $115 thousand was recognized in the second quarter of 2017.


Second Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights, continued

The balance of loans in non-accrual status increased from $177 thousand at year-end to $447 thousand as of June 30, 2018 as a result of $319 thousand in student loans classified as non-accrual for the second quarter. The Company will file claims with the liquidator of the surety company by December 31, 2018 for these non-accrual loans, as well as any other student loans that are past due 120 days or more as of July 27, 2018. Based on recent information released by the liquidator, the Company expects to collect the principal balances outstanding on such past due student loans, so the $319 thousand in past due loans as of June 30, 2018 were placed in non-accrual rather than charging the loans off as previously anticipated and indicated in our Current Report on Form 8-K released on July 5, 2018. Student loans that become 120 days or more past due after July 27, 2018 will be classified as charge-offs.

   

Noninterest income for the second quarter decreased $20 thousand, or 1.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to the recognition of a one-time payment in connection with a revision to our agreement with a royalty income provider during the second quarter of 2017. Noninterest income for the first six months of 2018 improved $445 thousand, or 17.3%, over the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the increase in annual performance fees from the same royalty income provider in 2018.

   

Noninterest expense for the second quarter increased $314 thousand, or 8.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2017, due to expenses associated with hiring experienced commercial lenders, increased professional fees and increased data processing expenses associated with the implementation of mobile banking. Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2018 increased over the same period in the prior year by $506 thousand or 6.7%, as a result of the same factors.

   

The provision for income taxes recognized in the second quarter of 2018 decreased $467 thousand, or 51.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2017, due primarily to the reduction in our corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%. The year-to-date provision for income taxes decreased $587 thousand, or 34.2%, compared to the same period in 2017, also due primarily to the reduction in the corporate tax rate, despite the increase in pre-tax income of $386 thousand which required additional provision of $81 thousand for the period at the reduced rate.

   

The efficiency ratio on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE) was 57.4% for the second quarter, compared to 54.0% for the first quarter of 2018 and 55.5% for the second quarter of 2017.

   

Return on average assets (ROAA) for the quarter amounted to 1.15% compared to the 1.78% recorded in the first quarter of 2018 and 1.19% realized during the second quarter of 2017.

   

Tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2018, which reflects the 5% stock dividend effective April 2018, was $26.36. This compares to $26.61 as of December 31, 2017 and $25.98 at June 30, 2017, which were prior to and therefore not adjusted for the 5% stock dividend. Cash dividends of $762 thousand were declared during the second quarter of 2018, while the remaining net income of $1.1 million, or 58.4%, was retained.

   

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

Share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect a 5% stock dividend effective April 13, 2018.

   
2

Ratio is computed on an annualized basis.

   
3

The net interest margin and net interest income are reported on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE), using a Federal income tax rate of 21% for 2018 and 34% for 2017.

   
4

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.
