TIMBERVILLE, VA—October 26, 2020—F & M Bank Corp. (OTCQX: FMBM), parent company of Farmers & Merchants Bank, announces its financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2020 and third quarter dividend to shareholders.
 
As the global pandemic continues, the company continually assesses our procedures to maintain the safety of our customers, employees and community while serving their financial needs. Farmers & Merchants Bank continues to operate our branches in a drive-thru only capacity daily, with courier pick up and by appointment lobby transactions.
 
As of September 30, 2020, we had processed 717 Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans for a balance of $62.6 million. These loans are funded by participation in the Federal Reserve Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility. In addition, we have processed 922 individual loan deferrals. As of September 30, 2020, 99 loans remain in deferral with a balance of $19.1 million which represents 3.1% of loans outstanding exclusive of PPP balances.
 
Selected financial highlights for the quarter include:
Net income of $2.21 million.
Net interest margin of 3.60%.
Total deposits increased $26.9 million and $175.1 million, respectively for the quarter and for the trailing 12 months.
Nonperforming loans decreased to 0.42% of total assets at the end of the quarter from 0.45% on 6/30/20 and 0.98% on 9/30/2019.
Allowance for loan losses totaled 1.57% of loans held for investment (1.72% excluding PPP loans).
 
Mark Hanna, President, commented “Our second quarter earnings of $2.21 million is a slight improvement over second quarter for core earnings ($2.06 million), second quarter total earnings ($2.63 million) included recognition of $567,000 for implementation of a mortgage rate lock derivative associated with our mortgage company pipeline. Our net interest margin of 3.60% shows a historical decline but remains strong especially given the changes in our balance sheet. F&M’s liquidity has increased significantly over the last four quarters and we are implementing strategic solutions to leverage these assets including deploying $102.7 million into the investment portfolio since year end 2019. Despite the current low-rate environment, these strategies should augment our net interest margin in the future.”
 
Mr. Hanna continued, “Nonperforming loans have improved dramatically over prior year, decreasing $3.7 million since third quarter of 2019, and $1.5 million since year end 2019. We feel these efforts put F&M in a strong position to manage the current economic uncertainty while seeking opportunities for continued growth in the communities we serve.”
 
On October 23, 2020 our Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $.26 per share to common shareholders. Based on our most recent trade price of $19.21 per share this constitutes a 5.41% yield on an annualized basis. The dividend will be paid on November 30, 2020, to shareholders of record as of November 14, 2020.”

The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Tax equivalent interest income is calculated by grossing up interest income for the amounts that are nontaxable (i.e. municipal securities and loan income) then subtracting interest expense. The tax rate utilized is 21%. The Company’s net interest margin is a common measure used by the financial service industry to determine how profitable earning assets are funded. Because the Company earns nontaxable interest income from municipal loans and securities, net interest income for the ratio is calculated on a tax equivalent basis as described above.
(2)
The efficiency ratio is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The efficiency ratio is a common measure used by the financial service industry to determine operating efficiency. It is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and non-interest income excluding gains and losses on the investments portfolio and Other Real Estate Owned. The Company calculates this ratio in order to evaluate how efficiently it utilizes its operating structure to create income. An increase in the ratio from period to period indicates the Company is losing a greater percentage of its income to expenses.
