Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FBSS) parent company of The Fauquier Bank (TFB) reported net income of $4.81 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared with $4.33 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $1.29 and $1.28, respectively, compared with basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.17 and $1.16 for 2013. The increase in year-to-year earnings was attributable to not having a loan loss provision in 2014 compared with $1.8 million in 2013, partially offset by a $612,000 decrease in net interest income. For the fourth quarter 2014, net income was $1.15 million compared with net income of $1.40 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $0.31 and $0.30, respectively, compared with basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.38 and $0.37 in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Randy K. Ferrell, President and CEO, stated, "As a result of solid earnings throughout the year, net income for 2014 is $4.81 million. This year has shown continued improvements in areas such as nonperforming assets, allowance for loan losses and net loan charge-offs. Our Wealth Management Services division revenue has continued to rise to annual record highs. Revenue for this division was $2.12 million for 2014, compared with $1.91 million in 2013. The double-digit increase is a strong endorsement of the comprehensive products we now offer families working with our professional financial advisors."
Return on average assets was 0.80% and return on average equity was 8.98% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared with 0.72% and 8.89%, respectively, for 2013. For the fourth quarter of 2014, Fauquier Bankshares' return on average assets was 0.76% and return on average equity was 8.33%, compared with 0.91% and 11.16%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Net interest margin was 3.55% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared with 3.64% in 2013. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased $612,000, or 3.1%, over the same period in 2013. Net interest margin was 3.47% in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with 3.60% for the same period in 2013. Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2014 decreased $263,000 or 5.2% when compared with the fourth quarter of 2013.
"The trend of lower loan demand has affected our net interest income, as it has for many banks," Ferrell said. "As an independent community bank, we've emphasized investing in loans in our market area which will improve interest income. The increased focus and geographic expansion we announced in 2014 and an improving economy will allow us to attract additional loan volume in the communities we service."
Nonperforming assets totaled $2.63 million or 0.43% of total assets at December 31, 2014, compared with $7.57 million or 1.23% as of December 31, 2013. Included in nonperforming assets at December 31, 2014 were $1.22 million of nonperforming loans and $1.41 million of other real estate owned. Nonperforming assets have declined 65%, compared to year end 2013, as a result of no longer having any nonperforming corporate bonds, a 44% decrease in nonperforming loans, and a 66% decrease in other real estate owned. Nonperforming loans represent 0.28% of total loans at year end 2014, compared with 0.48% for 2013.
Net loan charge-offs were $1.28 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared with $1.39 million in 2013. Net loan charge-offs decreased $115,000, or 8.3%, compared with year end 2013. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans for 2014 was 0.29% compared with 0.31% for 2013. For the fourth quarter of 2014, net charge-offs were $1.20 million or 0.28% of average loans compared with $315,000 or 0.07% of average loans for the same period in 2013.
There were no provisions for loan losses recorded for the fourth quarter and the twelve months of 2014, compared with $500,000 and $1.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2013. This is as a result of continued improved credit quality and a $115,000 decline in net loan charge-offs for the year of 2014. Allowance for loan losses was $5.39 million or 1.22% of total loans at December 31, 2014, compared with $6.67 million or 1.48% of total loans at December 31, 2013.
Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, increased $68,000 to $6.62 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $6.55 million for the same period in 2013. The majority of the increase is related to an increase in wealth management income. Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, decreased $111,000 to $1.57 million for the fourth quarter 2014 compared with $1.68 million for the same period in 2013.
Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased $701,000 or 3.66% to $19.81 million compared with $19.11 million for the same period in 2013.
