First Community Bankshares, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Results and Quarterly Dividend

BLUEFIELD, Va., July 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Community Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCBC) (www.firstcommunitybank.com) (the “Company”) today reported its unaudited results of operations and other financial information for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The Company reported net income of $8.24 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, which was a decrease of $0.20, or 30.30%, over the same quarter of 2019.  Net income was $16.11 million, or $0.90 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which represents a 29.13% decrease in per share diluted earnings compared to the same period of 2019.

Additionally, today the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders of twenty-five cents ($0.25) per common share. The quarterly dividend is payable to common shareholders of record on August 7, 2020, and is expected to be paid on or about August 21, 2020. The current year is the 35th consecutive year of regular dividends to common shareholders.

Second Quarter 2020 and Current Highlights

  • Pandemic and General
    • The Company’s social distancing practices at its branches and corporate offices continue today.  Remote working environments remain in place for approximately 60% of the Company’s back office workforce.
    • The Company implemented a pay differential for employees working at branch and back-office locations which ended May 31, 2020.  As a result of the pay differential and other COVID-19 related expenses, the Company incurred approximately $612 thousand in additional expenses for the quarter.
    • In order to aid its affected customers, the Company modified or deferred payments on 1,277 commercial loans totaling $340.00 million in principal balances and 1,820 retail loans totaling $96.11 million in principal balances.
    • Through June 30, 2020, the Company processed 758 loans with original principal balances totaling $60.23 million through the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program.
    • As a result of the low interest rate environment, the Company’s pipeline for mortgage loans grew to approximately $99.75 million at June 30, 2020, and stood at $101.39 million at July 24, 2020.
       
  • Income Statement
    • Second quarter earnings reflect a loan loss provision of $3.83 million, an increase of $2.25 million over second quarter of 2019, to recognize the impact of the coronavirus slowdown.  Coupled with the provision in the first quarter of 2020, the second quarter provision had the cumulative effect of increasing loan loss reserve $5.33 million.
    • Despite the significant increase in loan loss provision, return on average assets remained strong at 1.15% for both the second quarter and the six month period. The significant increase in loan loss provision over previous quarterly provisions reduced return on average assets for the quarter by 0.24%.
    • Net interest margin decreased 50 basis points to 4.22% compared to the same quarter of 2019.  Net interest margin decreased 20 basis points to 4.46% for the six months compared to the same period of 2019.  Both period decreases are reflective of the current historic low interest rate environment.
    • Pandemic shutdowns and stay-at-home orders had a significant negative impact on deposit service charges.
       
  • Balance Sheet
    • As of June 30, 2020, the Company continues to significantly exceed regulatory “well capitalized” targets, as well as all capital targets of its capital management plan. The Company completed its previous share repurchase authorization in the first quarter of 2020, prior to the onset of the current coronavirus pandemic, which completed a strategic objective of acquiring 6.6 million shares, returning over $149 million in surplus capital to shareholders. In light of the uncertain economic forecast, the Company has temporarily delayed consideration of a new share repurchase authorization to preserve and further accumulate surplus capital.
    • Total deposits have grown $167.93 million, or 7.21%, during 2020 with $125.03 million of the increase coming in interest free categories.

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 news release include “tangible book value per common share,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted earnings,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “adjusted return on average common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” 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%. While the Company believes certain non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of its business and performance, they 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.
