First Community Bankshares, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2024 Results and Quarterly Cash Dividend

BLUEFIELD, Va., April 23, 2024 (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 March 31, 2024. The Company reported net income of $12.85 million, or $0.71 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

The Company also declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders of twenty-nine cents $0.29 per common share. The quarterly dividend is payable to common shareholders of record on May 10, 2024, and is expected to be paid on or about May 24, 2024. This marks the 39th consecutive year of regular dividends to common shareholders.

First Quarter 2024 Highlights

Income Statement

  • Net income of $12.85 million for the first quarter of 2024, was an increase of $1.06 million, or 9.02%, from the same quarter of 2023.
  • Net interest income increased $2.22 million compared to the same quarter in 2023, as increases in benchmark interest rates have improved net interest margin. Provision for credit losses was approximately $731 thousand lower than the same quarter last year.
  • Net interest margin of 4.47% is an increase of 12 basis points over the same quarter of 2023. The yield on earning assets increased 62 basis points primarily driven by increased earnings on loans.
  • Interest and fees on loans increased $5.79 million from the same quarter of 2023 and is attributable to both an increase in yield and an increase in average balance compared to the yield and average balance of the prior year. The Company acquired Surrey Bancorp on April 21, 2023, adding approximately $239.08 million in loans.
  • Noninterest income increased approximately $676 thousand, or 7.88%, when compared to the same quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by increased interchange income. Noninterest expense increased $2.57 million, or 12.36%. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily driven by salaries and employee benefits, service fees, and other operating expense. The increase in non interest expense is primarily attributable to the addition of Surrey branches and staff.
  • Annualized return on average assets ("ROA") was 1.60% for the first quarter of 2024 compared to 1.55% for the same period of 2023. Annualized return on average common equity ("ROE") was 10.18% for the first quarter of 2024 compared to 11.15% for the same period of 2023.

Balance Sheet and Asset Quality

  • Consolidated assets totaled $3.24 billion at March 31, 2024.
  • Securities available for sale decreased $114.71 million, or 40.83%, from December 31,2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the maturity of $115.75 million in U.S. Treasury Notes during the first quarter of 2024. Loans decreased $52.47 million, or 2.04%. Deposits decreased $40.11 million, or 1.47%. The net effect of these balance sheet changes resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $132.49 million, or 113.80%. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily attributable to an increase in federal funds sold of $142.63 million.
  • The Company repurchased 89,396 common shares during the first quarter of 2024 for a total cost of $2.97 million.
  • Non-performing loans to total loans increased to 0.78% when compared with the same quarter of 2023. The Company experienced net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2024 of $1.74 million, or 0.27%, of annualized average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $1.74 million, or 0.29%, of annualized average loans for the same period in 2023.
  • The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.41% at March 31, 2024, compared to 1.41% at December 31, 2023, and 1.29% for March 31, 2023.
  • Book value per share at March 31, 2024, was $27.53, an increase of $0.33 from year-end 2023.

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%. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a reconciliation to that comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the attached tables to this press release. 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.
