WARRENTON, Va., July 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FBSS) parent company of The Fauquier Bank (TFB) reported net income of $1.24 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared with $804,000 for the second quarter of 2013, an improvement of 54.1%. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2014 were $0.33 compared with earnings per share of $0.22 in the second quarter 2013. Net income for the first six months of 2014 was $2.23 million compared with $1.77 million for the same period of 2013, an increase of 26.4%. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2014 were $0.60 compared with basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.48 and $0.47, respectively, for the first six months of 2013.
Randy Ferrell, President and CEO, said, "We had a very respectable second quarter with net income of $1.24 million. Provisions for loan losses have been reduced because we are seeing decreasing net loan charge-offs and fewer nonperforming loans.
"Our nonperforming assets have declined for the seventh consecutive quarter, and net loan charge-offs have fallen to the lowest levels in seven years. This positive momentum has enabled us to revitalize our focus on growth and profitability including the opening of our new Gainesville branch in June."
Return on average assets (ROAA) was 0.83% and return on average equity (ROAE) was 9.35% for the second quarter of 2014, an increase from 0.54% and 6.65%, from the second quarter of 2013. For the six month period ended June 30, 2014, Fauquier Bankshares' return on average assets was 0.75% and return on average equity was 8.57%, compared with 0.60% and 7.38%, for the six month period ended June 30, 2013.
Net interest margin was 3.55% in the second quarter of 2014 compared with 3.60% for the same period in 2013. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2014 decreased $102,000 to $4.82 million when compared with $4.92 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net interest income was due primarily to a decline in the yield on loans. The average yield on earning assets decreased 17 basis points while cost of funds declined 13 basis points from the second quarter 2013. Net interest margin was 3.59% in the first half of 2014 compared with 3.60% for the same period in 2013. Net interest income for the first six months of 2014 decreased $88,000 to $9.68 million when compared with $9.77 million for the same period in 2013.
Total assets increased to $600.8 million at June 30, 2014 compared with $590.9 million at June 30, 2013. Net loans remained relatively flat at $436.6 million at June 30, 2014 compared with $436.1 million at June 30, 2013. Total deposits increased to $522.8 million at June 30, 2014 compared with $519.3 million at June 30, 2013. Transaction deposits (Demand and interest checking accounts) grew $23.1 million to $301.3 million compared with $278.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, representing 57.6% of total deposits. The Company continues to have ample available liquidity in the form of cash, customer deposits and other funding sources.
"During the second quarter, we restructured our commercial lending effort and have established a separate group of lenders in Fauquier and Prince William Counties," Ferrell said. "Since this area has a greater concentration of companies that deliver goods and services to the federal government, we have expanded our commercial product line to include government contractors. In addition, we are placing an increased emphasis on commercial and industrial lending needs for our existing and growing customer base."
Nonperforming assets decreased to $4.8 million, or 0.81% of total assets, at June 30, 2014, compared with $8.2 million, or 1.39% of total assets, at June 30, 2013. Included in nonperforming assets at June 30, 2014 were $2.2 million of nonperforming loans, $1.4 million of other real estate owned and $1.2 million of nonperforming corporate bond investments, at fair value.
Recoveries exceeded charge-offs for both the quarterly and six month 2014 comparisons. Net loan charge-offs decreased in the second quarter 2014 with net loan recoveries of $122,000 compared with net loan charge-offs of $51,000 in the second quarter of 2013. The ratio of net loan recoveries to average loans outstanding for the second quarter of 2014 was 0.03% compared with net loan charge-offs of 0.01% for 2013. Net loan charge-offs decreased for the first six months of 2014 with net loan recoveries of $86,000 compared with net loan charge-offs of $389,000 for the same period in 2013. The ratio of net loan recoveries to average loans outstanding was 0.02% for the six months ended 2014, compared with net loan charge-offs of 0.09% for the same period in 2013.
There was no recorded provision for loan losses for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 compared with $800,000 and $967,000 for the same periods in 2013. Allowance for loan losses was $6.75 million or 1.52% of total loans at June 30, 2014 compared with $6.84 million or 1.54% at June 30, 2013. The allowance for loan losses coverage ratio was 3.05 times nonperforming loans at June 30, 2014 compared with 1.02 times for the same period in 2013.
Noninterest income decreased $41,000, or 2.4%, to $1.70 million in the second quarter 2014 compared with $1.74 million in the same quarter in 2013. Noninterest income decreased $59,000 to $3.12 million during the first six months of 2014 compared with $3.18 million during the same period in 2013. Wealth management revenue increased $70,000 or 7.3% from the first six months of 2013 due to both increased customer accounts and a favorable market. This favorable variance was offset by a decrease of $129,000 to service charges and other income totaling $2.08 million for the first six months of 2014 compared with $2.21 million for the first six months of 2013.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter 2014 increased $25,000, or 0.5%, to $4.85 million compared with $4.83 million for the second quarter 2013. The largest component of noninterest expense, salaries and benefits, increased by $115,000 for the quarter. The increase in salaries and benefits is partially attributable to an increase in staffing of the new branches. Other operating expenses reflected an increase of $109,000 compared with the second quarter 2013. Those variances were partially offset by a $195,000 decline in other professional services. Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2014 increased $167,000 or 1.7% to $9.83 million compared with $9.67 million for the same period in 2013. The increase is attributable to the same explanations mentioned in the quarterly comparison.
"While online banking continues to grow, there is no substitute for meeting one-on-one. Only through human interaction can we truly serve our customer and make their financial lives easier," Ferrell said. "This summer we opened our newest branch in Gainesville, Virginia. We are excited to bring local community banking to this part of Prince William County. The branch uses the latest technology with an open lobby design creating a welcoming environment for more customer-focused service. This new branch will complement the current and future demand for expanded financial services in and around the area."
Shareholders' equity increased $5.4 million to $53.5 million at June 30, 2014 compared with $48.1 million at June 30, 2013. The book value per common share increased to $14.34 at June 30, 2014 from $12.95 at June 30, 2013. Fauquier Bankshares' stock price closed at $16.00 per share on July 29, 2014. The Company's regulatory capital ratios continue to be deemed "Well Capitalized," the highest category assigned by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. At June 30, 2014, the Company's leverage ratio was 9.65%, compared with 9.08% one year earlier. The Company's tier 1 and total risk-based ratios were 13.78% and 15.03%, respectively, at June 30, 2014, compared with 12.72% and 13.97% at June 30, 2013. The minimum capital ratios to be considered "Well Capitalized" by the Federal Reserve are 5.00% for the leverage ratio, 6.00% for the tier 1 risk-based ratio, and 10.00% for the total risk-based ratio.
