BLACKSBURG, VA., July 16, 2020 -- National Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: NKSH), parent company of The National Bank of Blacksburg, today announced its results of operations for the second quarter and first half of 2020. The Company reported net income of $6.96 million, or $1.07 per common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reported net income of $8,437 or $1.27 per common share. National Bankshares, Inc. ended the first half of 2020 with total assets of $1.43 billion.

Chairman, President, and CEO F. Brad Denardo commented, “National Bankshares and our subsidiaries have been working throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to meet the everyday banking needs as well as the emergency relief needs of our customers and communities. The situation is ongoing and the economic outlook remains uncertain, and we see this reflected in the second quarter numbers. Nonetheless, we remain committed to serving our customers through these difficult times, and are thankful for the continuing support of our customers, our communities, and our shareholders.”

 

First Half Highlights

 

In Light of the Pandemic

 

-

In order to protect our employees and customers during the COVID-19 Pandemic, we closed our branch offices on March 20th and they have remained closed. We continue to serve customers through other channels or in person when requested. We plan to reopen those offices sometime in third quarter.

 

-

In order to aid our many business customers in their time of financial hardship, we have modified or deferred payments on 297 loans totaling $119.70 million.

 

-

Through July 6, 2020, National Bank has originated 806 Paycheck Protection Program loans totaling $58.1 million. We will continue to accept applications until August 8, 2020.

 

Income Statement

 

-

Our current net income includes a loan loss provision of $1.83 million, an increase of $1.58 million over the provision for the first half of 2019. The additional provision was taken in order to recognize the potential effect of the slowdown in business activity.

 

-

Despite the significant increase in the loan loss provision, the return on average assets was still a positive 1.03% for the first six months of 2020.

 

-

The net interest margin decreased to 3.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 3.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

-

The Company has worked to contain expenses such that total noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is $0.374 million less than for the same period ending June 30, 2019.

 

Balance Sheet

 

-

Total assets have increased from June 30, 2019 by $164 million to $1.43 billion at June 30, 2020.

 

-

Total deposits have increased from June 30, 2019 by $149.8 million to $1.22 billion at June 30, 2020.

 

-

With total stockholders equity of $195.8 million, the Company’s capital position provides a source of strength and continues to significantly exceed all regulatory capital guidelines.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that provide useful information for financial and operational decision making, evaluating trends and comparing financial results to other financial institutions. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document include the efficiency ratio and certain financial measures presented on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis. FTE basis is calculated using the federal statutory income tax rate of 21%. Further, the Company elects not to annualize net securities gains and losses in 2020 and 2019 or the insurance recovery received in 2019 in calculating the return on average equity and return on average assets. The Company believes certain non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of its business and performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and not a substitute for, or more important than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to those reported by other financial institutions.

(1)

Return on average assets and return on average equity are calculated by dividing adjusted annualized net income by average assets or average equity, respectively. Net income is adjusted by removing securities gains, net of tax in 2020 and 2019 and the insurance recovery in 2019 net of tax and annualizing the remainder. Securities gains net of tax in 2020 and 2019 and the insurance recovery net of tax in 2019 are then added back to arrive at adjusted annualized net income.

 

(2)

Efficiency ratio is calculated as noninterest expense, less non-recurring items, divided by the sum of noninterest income and net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis.

 

(3)

Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets.
