FAIRFAX, VA / ACCESSWIRE / October 30, 2019 / The Freedom Bank of Virginia (OTCQX:FDVA), (the "Bank" or "Freedom") today announced net income of $932,348, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
Joseph J. Thomas, President and CEO, commented "Freedom is beginning to demonstrate the rebranding of our innovative bank, the resolve of our committed colleagues and the respect of our valued clients, as evidenced in the 83% increase in our third quarter net income compared to the prior quarter and the improvement in the quarterly ROAA to 0.75%. This has been driven by 16.8% annualized growth in loans in the third quarter, an increase in the net Interest margin to 3.51%, a 24 basis point increase over the second quarter, and a 31.1% increase in non-interest income in the third quarter compared to the prior quarter due to strong mortgage revenue. We have also remained vigilant on expense management as our efficiency ratio improved to 81.4% in the quarter and through the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, we have shed $902 thousand in non-interest expenses. Despite the market head winds and intense competitive conditions, our strategy is gaining traction as we crested $500 million in total assets at the end of the third quarter"

- The net interest margin expanded by 24 basis points to 3.51% compared to the previous quarter, on higher loan yields and a reduction in funding costs;

Net Interest Income
The Bank recorded net interest income of $4.21 million for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 11.58% compared to the previous quarter and lower by 5.79% compared to the same period in 2018. The net interest margin in the third quarter of 2019 was 3.51%, higher by 24 basis points compared to the previous quarter, and lower by 3 basis points compared to the same period in 2018.
The following factors contributed to the changes in net interest margin during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the previous quarter:
- Yields on average earning assets increased by 22 basis points to 4.98% compared to 4.76% in the previous quarter, primarily due to an increase in loan yields during the third quarter, stemming from loan growth and recognition of default interest related to a loan recovery during the quarter. The additional yield related to the loan recovery was approximately 10 basis points.
- Loan yields increased by 19 basis points to 5.36% from 5.17% in the previous quarter, while yields on investment securities decreased by 1 basis point to 2.79%, from 2.80% in the previous quarter.
- Cost of funds decreased by 2 basis points to 1.64%, from 1.66% in the previous quarter, primarily due to lower costs related to borrowings and a reduction in higher cost money market deposit balances.
The following factors contributed to the changes in net interest margin during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018:
- Yields on average earning assets increased by 27 basis points to 4.98% compared to 4.71% in the quarter ended September 30, 2018.
- Loan yields increased by 16 basis points to 5.36% from 5.20% in the quarter ended September 30, 2018, while yields on investment securities increased by 5 basis points to 2.79%, from 2.74% in the quarter ended September 30, 2018.
- Cost of funds increased by 33 basis points to 1.64%, from 1.31% in the quarter ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to higher costs related to time deposits.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income was $1.84 million for the third quarter, higher by 31.14% compared to the previous quarter. Non-interest income in the third quarter of 2018 was a loss of $284,723, primarily due to extraordinary pre-tax losses of $1.2 million from the sale of debt securities during the quarter. If those losses were to be excluded, non-interest income for the third quarter of 2018 would have been $896,385. The principal contributors to the increase in non-interest income was higher gain-on-sale revenue from mortgage loans.
- Total revenue from the gain on sale of mortgage loans in the third quarter of 2019 increased by 45.75% compared to the previous quarter, and by 101.12% compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in gain-on-sale revenue was driven by the higher volume of mortgage originations during the third quarter of 2019.
Non-interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses increased by 11.96% compared to the previous quarter and decreased by 6.13% compared to the same period in 2018. Non-interest expenses decreased by 6.12% for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
Principal categories of non-interest expenses that changed in the third quarter of 2019 were the following:
- Compensation costs increased by 12.99% compared to the previous quarter, primarily due to an increase in commissions paid to mortgage loan officers on the higher volume of closed loans and an increase in incentive accruals. Excluding commissions paid to mortgage loan officers, compensation costs increased by 6.4% compared to the previous quarter. Compensation costs decreased by 2.76% compared to the same period in 2018.
- Professional fees were higher by 22.17% compared to the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to contract underwriting fees incurred during the quarter and lower by 51.14% compared to the same period in 2018.
- Insurance expense was reduced due to credits provided by the FDIC on deposit insurance assessments to small banks (those with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion). The assessment regulations provide that after the reserve ratio for the insurance fund reaches 1.38% (and provided that it remains at least 1.38%), the FDIC will automatically apply small bank credits to reduce small banks' regular deposit insurance assessments up to the full amount of their assessments or the full amount of their credits, whichever is less. The reserve ratio reached 1.40 on June 30, 2019. Therefore, credits were first applied on the September 30, 2019 invoice. Credits will be applied until exhausted.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $145,115 in the third quarter of 2019, equivalent to an effective tax rate of 13.47% compared to a tax benefit of $226,718 for the same period in 2018.
Asset Quality
Non-accrual loans were $2.18 million or 0.53% of total loans at the end of the third quarter of 2019, compared to $3.05 million or 0.76% of total loans at the end of the prior quarter. As of both September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, there were no troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") not on nonaccrual. On September 30, 2019 there were $598,863 of loans that were 90 days or more past due and not on no-accrual, equivalent to 0.14% of total loans, compared to $148,321 of loans that were 90 days or more past due and not on non-accrual, equivalent to 0.04% of total loans on June 30, 2019. Additionally, there was no other real estate owned ("OREO") on the balance sheet on September 30, 2019 or June 30, 2019. Total non-performing assets (defined as the sum of loans on non-accrual, loans greater than 90 days past due and not on non-accrual, loans that were TDRs but not on non-accrual, and OREO assets) were $2.78 million or 0.55% of total assets at September 30, 2019 compared to $3.19 million or 0.65% of total assets, at the end of the previous quarter.
The Bank recognized a provision for loan and lease losses of $47,000 during the third quarter, compared to a provision of $147,500 in the prior quarter. The Bank's ALLL was 1.12% of loans held-for-investment at September 30, 2019, compared to 1.14% of loans held-for-investment at June 30, 2019.

Total deposits were $396.65 million on September 30, 2019 compared to total deposits of $398.41 million on June 30, 2019. On a linked quarter basis, interest bearing demand deposits declined by $2.00 million, with the bulk of the decline occurring in higher cost money market balances. Non-interest bearing demand deposits decreased slightly during the quarter by $833,469 on seasonal activity to $80.92 million, but comprised 20.40% of total deposits at the end of the quarter, compared to 16.72% of total deposits on December 31, 2018. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $17.01 million during the quarter, as the bank took advantage of the decline in wholesale borrowing rates to supplement liquidity and fund the strong loan growth during the quarter.

Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2019 was $63.19 million compared to $61.25 million on June 30, 2019.
