BLUEFIELD, Va., Jan. 27, 2026 (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 December 31, 2025. The Company reported net income of $12.46 million, or $0.68 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, was $48.79 million or $2.65 per diluted common share.
The Company also declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders of thirty-one cents, $0.31, per common share. The quarterly dividend is payable to common shareholders of record on February 13, 2026, and is expected to be paid on February 27, 2026. 2025 marks the 40th consecutive year of regular dividends to common shareholders and 2025 represented the 16th consecutive year of regular dividend increases. In addition, the Board of Directors declared two special cash dividends during 2025; a $2.07 per common share dividend paid in the first quarter and a $1.00 per common share dividend declared in the fourth quarter.
The Company's capital management philosophy emphasizes maintaining a strong capital base to support growth and effectively serve customers. Consistent with this philosophy, the Company intends to return excess capital to shareholders through regular cash dividends and share repurchases after funding growth in core operations and other strategic uses. To the extent that current earnings exceed these capital needs, the Company may declare special dividends; as it did in 2025.
On January 23, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Middlebourne, West Virginia-based, Hometown Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Union Bank, Inc. At the end of 2025, Hometown had total assets of approximately $415 million, loans of $172 million, and deposits of $376 million.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights
Income Statement
- Net income of $12.46 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, was a decrease of $575 thousand, or 4.41%, from the same quarter of 2024. Net income of $48.79 million for the year of 2025, was a decrease of $2.81 million, or 5.45%, from the same period of 2024.
- When adjusted for merger and non-recurring expenses, net income of $14.16 million was an increase of $1.12 million, or 8.56%, from the fourth quarter of 2024.
- Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 ended strong at 4.53% and was an increase of 17 basis points, over the same quarter of 2024. For the same time period, the net interest rate spread increased 26 basis points to 4.20%, resulting in an increase of net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, of $1.03 million, or 3.26%. The increase is primarily driven by consistent asset yields and a lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Compared to 2024, the average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities declined 25 basis points, or 22.12%, due to a reduction in interest costs of $1.18 million, or 23.16%.
- Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $2.07 million, or 6.86%, compared to the same quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $36 thousand, a significant decrease from $1.08 million a year ago. The decrease was a function of a smaller loan portfolio and continued strong credit performance.
- Noninterest income increased approximately $1.09 million, or 10.57%, when compared to the same quarter of 2024. The increase is attributable primarily to an increase in services charges on deposits of $679 thousand, or 18.79%, and other service charges and fees of $471 thousand, or 13.16%. Noninterest expense increased $3.52 million, or 14.59%, when compared to the same period of 2024. The increase is attributable to increases in salaries and benefits of $897 thousand, or 6.64%, merger expense of $2.12 million, and other operating expense of $657 thousand, or 21.54%. The merger expense is related to the recent acquisition of Hometown.
- Annualized return on average assets ("ROA") was 1.53% for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 1.60% for the same period of 2024. ROA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, was 1.52% compared to 1.60% for the same period of 2024. Annualized return on average common equity ("ROE") was 9.63% for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 9.89% for the same period of 2024. ROE was 9.64% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to 10.03% for the same period of 2024.
- When adjusted for merger and non-recurring expenses, ROA was 1.74% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 1.59% for the full year. ROE totaled 10.94% for the fourth quarter and 10.09% for the twelve months ended 2025. Return on average tangible common equity continues to remain strong at 13.80% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 13.92% for the full year.
Balance Sheet and Asset Quality
- Consolidated assets totaled $3.26 billion on December 31, 2025.
- Consolidated loan balances decreased $101.33 million, or 4.19%, and securities available for sale decreased $37.16 million, or 21.88%, from December 31, 2024. Deposits decreased $5.92 million, or 0.22%, which was due primarily to a decrease in declining higher-rate time deposits. Stockholder equity decreased $25.84 million, or 4.91%, primarily due to two special cash dividends, in the total amount of $3.07 per common share, being declared in 2025. The net effect of these balance sheet changes resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $134.77 million, or 35.71%.
- The Company's average loan-to-deposits ratio of 88.81%, on December 31, 2025, continues to represent a stable utilization of deposit funding.
- The Company did not repurchase any common shares during the fourth quarter of either 2025 or 2024. For the full year, the Company repurchased 50,338 shares in 2025 at a cost of $1.85 million, compared with 257,294 shares repurchased in 2024 at a cost of $8.72 million.
- Total non-performing assets as of December 31, 2025, were $14.15 million, compared with $20.54 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company has realized a declining trend in non-performing assets since December 31, 2024.
- Non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 0.61%; a 0.22% reduction when compared with the same quarter of 2024. The Company experienced net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2025 of $836 thousand, or 0.14% of annualized average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $1.48 million, or 0.24%, of annualized average loans for the same period in 2024.
- The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.33% on December 31, 2025, compared to 1.44% on December 31, 2024.
- Book value per share on December 31, 2025, was $ 27.30, a decrease of $1.43 from year-end 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to two special dividends being declared in 2025, in the total amount of $3.07 per common share.
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.
