VIRGINIA NATIONAL BANKSHARES CORPORATION

ANNOUNCES FULL YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Charlottesville, VA -January 28, 2020 - Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (OTCQX: VABK) (the "Company") today reported net income of $6.7 million, or $2.491 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is a 21% decrease compared to net income of $8.5 million, or $3.151 per diluted share recognized for the year ended December 31, 2018. Fourth quarter 2019 net income was $1.4 million, or $0.531 per diluted share, a $251 thousand or 15% decrease compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.631 per diluted share, recognized during the fourth quarter of 2018.

"We took steps in 2019 that will position the Company to prosper in the future," said Glenn W. Rust, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have entered into three new markets, hired nine additional bankers to enhance and support our commercial lending team, and intentionally allowed some lower quality credits to exit the Bank. We are actively managing our student loan portfolio and received payment in the fourth quarter for student loans that were previously classified as non-accrual when the surety company insuring those loans was placed in liquidation. The liquidator anticipates making some distributions related to unearned premiums and plans to communicate the amount in the first half of 2020. Many of the expenses incurred in 2019 to complete the reorganization of our wealth management lines of business were non-recurring costs. Masonry Capital Management accomplished much in 2019, but perhaps the most important achievement was its acceptance on the separately managed account platform of one of the largest custodians in the U.S. This launched a large market opportunity as any registered investment advisor using that custodian's platform can now allocate money to Masonry's All Cap Select product on behalf of their clients. While some of our 2019 financial statement metrics do not compare favorably to the prior year, we believe that the actions we took during the year were necessary to succeed in 2020."

2019 Full-Year and Select Balance Sheet Financial Highlights

  • Gross loans outstanding at December 31, 2019 totaled $539.5 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 0.4%, over the 2018 year-end balance.
  • The period-end allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased to 0.78% at the end of December 2019, compared to 0.91% at the end of December 2018.
  • The balance of loans in non-accrual status decreased from $615 thousand at year-end 2018 to $299 thousand as of December 31, 2019, due largely to the receipt of an anticipated payout of $320 thousand from the liquidator for the surety company that formerly insured the student loans.
  • Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest amounted to $771 thousand as of December 31, 2019, compared to $199 thousand as of September 30, 2019 and $895 thousand as of December 31, 2018. The December balances included a government guaranteed loan of approximately $548 thousand.
  • A provision for loan losses of $1.4 million was recognized during 2019, compared to $1.9 million recognized in 2018, a 26.6% decline.
  • Return on average assets (ROAA) for 2019 was 1.02% compared to 1.33% realized in the prior year.
  • The efficiency ratio on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE) was 64.9% for 2019, compared to 56.2% in the prior year.

1 Common share data for all periods presented has been adjusted to reflect the 5% stock dividend paid in the third quarter of 2019.

2019 Full-Year and Select Balance Sheet Financial Highlights, continued

  • 2019 net interest income decreased $972 thousand, or 4.3%, over the amount recognized in 2018.
  • Net interest margin (FTE) declined 23 basis points to 3.57% compared to 3.80% for 2018.
  • The loan-to-deposit ratio was 86.9% at December 31, 2019, compared to 93.8% at December 31, 2018.
  • Tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2019, which reflects the 5% stock dividend effective July 2019, was $27.98. This compares to $27.48 as of December 31, 2018, which was prior to, and therefore not adjusted for, the 2019 5% stock dividend.
  • The cost of funds of 74 basis points incurred in 2019 increased 25 basis points from 49 basis points for 2018, due to increased rates on deposit accounts. Low-cost deposits, which include noninterest checking accounts and interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market accounts, remained in excess of 81% of total deposits at the end of 2019 and 2018.
  • Noninterest income for 2019 increased $21 thousand, or 0.4%, compared to 2018, primarily due to the increase in bank- owned life insurance earnings as a result of a death benefit received following the death of a former employee, offset by a decline in royalty income in the first quarter, due predominantly to the condition of the stock market as of 2018 calendar year-end.
  • Noninterest expense for 2019 increased $1.9 million, or 11.7%, compared to 2018. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.2 million, or 15.1%, as a result of the addition of experienced personnel in the Richmond and Roanoke markets and to the cyber security and network team, as well as increased stock grant expense for executive management. Settlement of claims amounted to $460 thousand in 2019 in connection with the final settlement of pending and threatened legal proceedings. Data processing expense increased $230 thousand, or 21.1%, over the prior year, due to the implementation of software to enhance our lending operations and to assist in the adoption of the current expected credit losses model.
  • Whereas pre-tax income declined 22.0%, or $2.3 million, from 2018 to 2019, the provision for income taxes decreased 26.2%, or $542 thousand, due primarily to increased bank-owned life insurance earnings, as noted above, which was not subject to tax.
  • Capital ratios continue to be well in excess of regulatory requirements for well-capitalized banks.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Select Financial Highlights

  • A provision for loan losses of $875 thousand was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $983 thousand recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018.
  • Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased $296 thousand, or 5.2%, compared to the same period in 2018.
  • The cost of funds of 76 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased 18 basis points from 58 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2018, due to increased rates on deposit accounts.
  • Noninterest income for the fourth quarter increased $226 thousand, or 18.2%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher wealth management performance fees in the current year.
  • Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter increased $346 thousand, or 8.9%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily as a result of the addition of experienced personnel in the Richmond and Roanoke markets and to the cyber security and network team, as well as increased stock grant expense for executive management.
  • The provision for income taxes recognized in the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased $57 thousand, or 13.9%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, due primarily to the decline in pre-tax net income, which decreased 14.7% over the same quarter in the prior year.
  • Cash dividends of $808 thousand were declared during the fourth quarter of 2019, while the remaining net income of $623 thousand, or 43.5%, was retained.

  1. Share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect a 5% stock dividend effective July 5, 2019.
  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%.
  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.
