CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., April 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (NASDAQ: VABK) (the "Company") today reported net income of $1.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which is a 7.2% increase compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

"We are pleased to post another strong first quarter and solid asset quality ratios," said Glenn W. Rust, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This was done in spite of incurring $278 thousand in merger-related expenses. As we move forward following our merger with Fauquier Bankshares, Inc., this secure foundation will be key to future results."

Update on Our Response to COVID-19

Paycheck Protection Program – During 2020, Virginia National Bank (the "Bank") assisted nonprofit organizations and local businesses by funding $86.9 million of Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, which were designed to provide economic relief to small businesses adversely impacted by COVID-19. During the first quarter of 2021, the Bank funded an additional $36.2 million in PPP loans. The loans carry a 1% annual interest rate. As of March 31, 2021, 43% of the total dollars of PPP loans had been forgiven by the SBA, with $70.2 million outstanding. The Company recognized $2.1 million in net PPP loan origination fees in 2020 and $548 thousand in the first quarter of 2021.
Loan Deferments – Also to assist our customers whose businesses were impacted by COVID-19, we processed a total of $59.0 million in loan deferments since the beginning of the pandemic, of which $28.7 million, or 48.6%, were principal-only deferments; $20.0 million, or 33.9%, were principal and interest deferments; $8.6 million, or 14.5%, were government-guaranteed loans; and $1.8 million, or 3.0%, were student loans. As of March 31, 2021, $57.5 million in loan balances, or 97.4% of the total loan deferments approved, have returned to normal payment schedules and are now current, leaving a remaining balance of deferments of $1.5 million. Of this remaining balance, $1.2 million, or 77.3%, are 100% government-guaranteed loans for which the deferrals were approved by the United States Department of Agriculture; and $349 thousand, or 22.7%, are student loans, which are private student loans not subject to potential federal forgiveness.

First Quarter 2021 and Selected Balance Sheet Financial Highlights

Gross loans outstanding at March 31, 2021 totaled $621.1 million, an increase of $67.1 million, or 12.1%, compared to March 31, 2020. The increase is primarily due to the origination of PPP loans as noted above.
The balance of loans in non-accrual status decreased to $5 thousand as of March 31, 2021, from $273 thousand as of March 31, 2020.

First Quarter 2021 and Selected Balance Sheet Financial Highlights (continued)

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest amounted to $399 thousand as of March 31, 2021, compared to $733 thousand as of March 31, 2020. The March 2021 balance consists of one government-guaranteed loan in the amount of $382 thousand and one student loan in the amount of $17 thousand.
The period-end allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") as a percentage of total loans was 0.90% as of March 31, 2021 and 0.85% as of March 31, 2020. Note that the ALLL as a percentage of total loans, excluding PPP loans, (a non-GAAP financial measure) would have been 1.02% as of March 31, 2021.¹
The Company incurred $278 thousand in merger-related expenses during the first quarter of 2021 related to the combination with Fauquier, which closed on April 1, 2021.
Return on average assets ("ROAA") for the first quarter of 2021 was 0.68% compared to 0.78% realized in the same period in the prior year. ROAA excluding the impact of merger expenses (a non-GAAP financial measure) would have been 0.71% for the first quarter of 2021.¹
Return on average equity ("ROAE") for the first quarter of 2021 was 7.40% compared to 7.28% realized in same period in the prior year. ROAE excluding the impact of merger expenses (a non-GAAP financial measure) would have been 7.73% for the first quarter of 2021.¹
A provision for loan losses of $351 thousand was recognized during the first quarter of 2021, compared to $765 thousand recognized in the first quarter of the prior year.
The efficiency ratio on a fully tax equivalent basis ("FTE") (a non-GAAP financial measure) was 67.7% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 64.3% for the first quarter of 2020.¹
The loan-to-deposit ratio was 77.2% at March 31, 2021, compared to 87.2% at March 31, 2020.
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 of $6.0 million increased $599 thousand, or 11.1%, compared to the first quarter of 2020. The higher net interest income was driven by the decrease in interest expense of $496 thousand period-over-period, and the increase in interest and dividends on investment securities of $109 thousand.
The cost of funds of 35 basis points ("bps") incurred in the first quarter of the current year decreased 40 bps from 75 bps in the same period in 2020, due to lower rates paid on deposit accounts. Low-cost deposits, which include noninterest checking accounts and interest-bearing checking, savings and money market accounts, remained in excess of 84% of total deposits at March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2021 decreased $630 thousand, or 37.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to the decrease in loan swap fee income of $494 thousand. No securities were sold in the first quarter of 2021, resulting in a $53 thousand reduction in gain on sale income from the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2021. Fees on mortgage sales declined $47 thousand period over period due to elimination of the department. Also, in the first quarter of 2020, the Company received $42 thousand more in royalty income than in the first quarter of 2021.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 increased $238 thousand, or 5.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2020, due to $278 thousand of merger-related expenses, offset by minor variances in other components of noninterest expense.
Tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP financial measure) as of March 31, 2021 was $29.07, compared to $27.95 as of March 31, 2020.¹
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 amounted to 20.0%, compared to 19.1% for the first quarter of 2020. The non-deductibility of certain merger-related expenses for tax purposes in 2021 caused the effective rate to increase.
Cash dividends of $814 thousand were declared during the first quarter of 2021, while the remaining net income of $691 thousand, or 45.9%, was retained.
Capital ratios continue to be in compliance with requirements for well-capitalized banks.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
