HAMPTON, Va., April 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Old Point Financial Corporation (the Company or Old Point) (NASDAQ "OPOF") reported net income of $2.0 million and earnings per diluted common share of $0.39 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to net income of $942 thousand or $0.19 earnings per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2018. Net operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2019 were also $2.0 million or $0.39 per diluted common share, which compares to $1.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2018.

Robert Shuford, Jr., President and CEO of Old Point National Bank (the Bank) said, "We are pleased to report earnings of $2.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2019. Our Company experienced solid revenue growth and expense control during the quarter as compared to the same period in 2018, with continuing improvement in asset quality."

Highlights of the quarter are as follows:

Return on average assets (ROA) was 0.80% compared to 0.53% in the prior quarter and 0.39% in the first quarter of 2018. Net operating ROA (non-GAAP) was 0.80% compared to 0.54% and 0.47% in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2018, respectively.
Return on average equity (ROE) was 7.94% compared to 5.45% in the prior quarter and 3.97% in the first quarter of 2018. Net operating ROE (non-GAAP) was 7.94% compared to 5.50% and 4.83 % in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2018, respectively.
Net interest income declined slightly to $8.4 million compared to $8.6 million in the prior quarter but increased from $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2018.
Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) improved to 3.67% from 3.52% in the first quarter of 2018 and decreased from 3.69% in the prior quarter.
Non-performing assets (NPAs) totaled $12.9 million as of March 31, 2019, down from $14.7 million at December 31, 2018 and down from $16.5 million at March 31, 2018. NPAs as a percentage of total assets improved to 1.26% at March 31, 2019 which compares to 1.42% at December 31, 2018 and 1.66% at March 31, 2018.
The efficiency ratio improved to 78.34% compared to 78.51% in the fourth quarter of 2018 and 85.65% in the first quarter of 2018.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2019 was $8.4 million, a decrease of $243 thousand, or 2.8%, from the prior quarter and an increase of $614 thousand, or 7.9%, from the first quarter of 2018. The year-over-year growth was positively impacted by higher average earning asset balances and higher yields which was partially offset by higher funding costs. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in net interest income was principally the result of lower average earning assets combined with increasing funding costs. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the quarter was 3.67%, down from 3.69% in the prior quarter and up from 3.52% in the same period a year ago. The margin compression during the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to higher rates on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings.

Asset Quality

Non-performing assets (NPAs) totaled $12.9 million as of March 31, 2019, down from $14.7 million at December 31, 2018 and $16.5 million at March 31, 2018. NPAs as a percentage of total assets were 1.26%, which compares to 1.42% at December 31, 2018 and 1.66% at March 31, 2018. Non-accrual loans decreased to $11.2 million from $12.1 million at December 31, 2018 and $14.1 million at March 31, 2018. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest decreased $819 thousand to $1.7 million from $2.5 million at December 31, 2018 and decreased by $488 thousand compared to $2.2 million at March 31, 2018. Of the loans past due 90 days or more at March 31, 2019, approximately $1.4 million were government-guaranteed student loans.

The provision for loan losses was $226 thousand for the first quarter of 2019, as compared to $1.0 million for the prior quarter and $525 thousand for the first quarter of 2018. The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) was $10.1 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 compared to $9.7 million at March 31, 2018. The ALLL as a percentage of loans held for investment was 1.32% at March 31, 2019, up slightly from 1.31% at December 31, 2018 and down slightly from 1.33% at March 31, 2018. Annualized net charge offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding was 0.13% for the first quarter of 2019, which compares to 0.58% in the preceding quarter and 0.13% in the first quarter of 2018. Improving asset quality positively impacted the level of provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2019, while the fourth quarter 2018 provision for loan losses was impacted by a $573 thousand charge-off.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the quarter was $3.4 million, an increase of $84 thousand from the previous quarter and an increase of $274 thousand, or 8.7% from the first quarter of 2018. Increases in other service charges, commissions and fees and mortgage banking income over the preceding quarter and the prior year quarter were partially offset by fluctuations in fiduciary and management fees and service charges on deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $9.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $149 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2018 and a decrease of $125 thousand from the first quarter of 2018. Adjusting for the impact of merger expenses of $205 thousand in the first quarter of 2018, adjusted noninterest expense (non-GAAP) increased $80 thousand or 0.9% comparing first quarter of 2019 to the same period in 2018. For the linked quarter, decreases in occupancy and equipment and professional services offset increases in salaries and employee benefits.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets as of March 31, 2019 were $1.0 billion, essentially unchanged from December 31, 2018. Net loans held for investment decreased $11.1 million, or 1.5%, from December 31, 2018 to $752.8 million. Securities available for sale, at fair value, increased $9.6 million to $157.8 million at March 31, 2019.

Total deposits as of March 31, 2019 decreased $7.0 million, or 0.8%, to $836.2 million from December 31, 2018. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $13.3 million, or 5.4%, savings deposits increased $4.3 million, or 1.2%, and time deposits increased $2.1 million, or 0.9%.

The Company's total stockholders' equity at March 31, 2019 increased $3.0 million or 3.0% from December 31, 2018 to $105.0 million. The Bank remains well capitalized with a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 11.24% at March 31, 2019 as compared to 10.90% at December 31, 2018. The Bank's leverage ratio was 9.60% at March 31, 2019 as compared to 9.34% at December 31, 2018.
