WEST POINT, Va., July 22, 2013
WEST POINT, Va., July 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- C&F Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: CFFI), the one-bank holding company for C&F Bank (or the Bank), today reported net income of $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2013, which was the same as the second quarter of 2012. Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2013 was $4.2 million, or $1.22 per common share assuming dilution, compared to $4.0 million, or $1.22 per common share assuming dilution, for the second quarter of 2012. The corporation reported record net income of $8.2 million for the first six months of 2013, compared to $8.0 million for the first six months of 2012, a 2.80 percent increase. Net income available to common shareholders for the first six months of 2013 was $8.2 million, or $2.41 per common share assuming dilution, compared to $7.7 million, or $2.33 per common share assuming dilution, for the first half of 2012.
For the second quarter of 2013, the corporation's return on average common equity and return on average assets, on an annualized basis, were 15.65 percent and 1.69 percent, respectively, compared to 17.96 percent and 1.77 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months of 2013, on an annualized basis, the corporation's return on average common equity was 15.55 percent and its return on average assets was 1.66 percent, compared to a 17.35 percent return on average common equity and a 1.69 percent return on average assets for the first half of 2012. The decline in the return on average common equity and the return on average assets for the second quarter and the first half of 2013, as compared to the same periods in 2012, resulted from capital and asset growth that outpaced modest earnings growth during the comparative periods. However, the corporation's return on average common equity and return on average assets, on an annualized basis, for the second quarter of 2013 each increased over the first quarter of 2013, when they were 15.46 percent and 1.64 percent, respectively.
"We are very pleased to report continued strong earnings for the second quarter of 2013," said Larry Dillon, president and chief executive officer of C&F Financial Corporation. "Net income for the second quarter of 2013 remained level with our record net income for the second quarter of 2012.The mortgage banking and consumer finance segments showed increases in net income of $567,000 and $59,000, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2012. The retail banking segment reported a $119,000 decrease in net income for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period of 2012, which was primarily attributable to higher compensation costs associated with growing our commercial lending team in Richmond, as well as increased staffing at the Bank's branches. Asset quality and noninterest income trends are improving at the retail banking segment, loan growth and market expansion are continuing at the consumer finance segment, and relatively strong mortgage loan demand and expansion into the Virginia Beach, Virginia market are occurring at the mortgage banking segment."
"In addition to the corporation's strong earnings performance, the second quarter of 2013 has been very eventful. On June 10, 2013, the corporation's Board of Directors unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement with Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc., (or CVB), the holding company for Central Virginia Bank. This merger, which is still pending regulatory and CVB shareholders' approvals, will greatly enhance our presence in the growing Richmond area, enabling us to expand our personal and commercial customer base, while offering more products, locations, and services to both C&F Bank and CVB customers. In addition, on April 1, 2013, C&F Bank launched its newest offering in mobile banking – I-Deposit24, which is an application that provides the Bank's mobile banking customers the ability to deposit checks directly into their C&F Bank accounts via their smartphones. On April 15, 2013, C&F Bank welcomed Gail Letts as our new Regional President for the Richmond market, putting her at the helm of the Bank's commercial and small business lending initiatives. All of these undertakings are strategically significant to the corporation and will create challenging and exciting opportunities and long-term value for our shareholders," concluded Dillon.
Retail Banking Segment. C&F Bank reported net income of $499,000 for the second quarter of 2013, compared to net income of $618,000 for the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months of 2013, C&F Bank reported net income of $1.2 million compared to net income of $925,000 for the first six months of 2012.
The retail banking segment's net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 benefited from (1) the effects of the continued low interest rate environment on the cost of deposits and on the renewal rates on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, (2) a shift in deposit mix to lower rate non-term deposit accounts, (3) the effects of improved credit quality on the loan loss provision and expenses associated with loan work-outs, (4) lower expenses related to the holding costs of foreclosed properties and (5) increased activity-based interchange and overdraft fee income. These positive factors were offset by (1) the decline in the retail banking segment's average loans to nonaffiliates resulting from continued weak loan demand in the current economic environment and intense competition for loans in our markets, (2) higher personnel costs associated with increased staff levels throughout the branch network and the addition of new personnel dedicated to growing the Bank's commercial and small business loan portfolio, (3) higher occupancy expenses associated with depreciation and maintenance of technology related to expanding the banking services we offer to customers and improving operational efficiency and security, (4) higher expenses associated with promoting our brand and enhancing our lending platforms and (5) a loss on the sale of a facility previously used for the Bank's deposit operations in West Point, Virginia.
The Bank's nonperforming assets were $10.7 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $17.7 million at December 31, 2012. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2013 included $6.8 million in nonaccrual loans, compared to $11.5 million at December 31, 2012, and $3.9 million in foreclosed properties, compared to $6.2 million at December 31, 2012. Troubled debt restructurings were $7.2 million at June 30, 2013, of which $4.5 million were included in nonaccrual loans, as compared to $16.5 million of troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2012, of which $9.8 million were included in nonaccrual loans. The decrease in nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructurings was primarily a result of the sale of notes relating to one commercial relationship, $5.2 million of which was a troubled debt restructuring on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2012. This note sale resulted in a $2.1 million charge-off during the first quarter of 2013, which reduced the Bank's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans to 3.01 percent at June 30, 2013 from 3.38 percent at December 31, 2012. Loss reserves that had previously been recorded for this relationship were adequate to cover the charge-off. Management believes it has provided adequate loan loss reserves for the retail banking segment's loans. Foreclosed properties at June 30, 2013 consist of both residential and non-residential properties. These properties are evaluated regularly and have been written down to their estimated fair values less selling costs.
Mortgage Banking Segment. C&F Mortgage Corporation reported net income of $986,000 for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $419,000 for the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months of 2013, C&F Mortgage Corporation reported net income of $1.5 million compared to $837,000 for the first six months of 2012.
During the second quarter of 2013, the mortgage banking segment began selling a portion of loans originated for sale on a mandatory delivery basis, while continuing to sell the majority of its loans on a best efforts delivery basis. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820-Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, we have elected to use fair value accounting for loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments, as well as for forward loan sales commitments and hedging instruments that are used to reduce the effect of changes in interest rates on loans that are to be sold in the secondary market. Under fair value accounting, gains on loans sold in the secondary market are recognized as loans progress through the origination pipeline, as opposed to recognizing gains when the loans are sold, as was done in the past. The increase in pre-tax income attributable to the implementation of fair value accounting approximated $1.1 million for both the second quarter and first half of 2013.
Net income at the mortgage banking segment also included the favorable effects of higher loan production and lower provisions for indemnification losses. Partially offsetting these effects were (1) lower net interest income resulting from the continued low interest rate environment, (2) higher income-based compensation expenses and (3) higher non-production based personnel costs associated with expansion into Virginia Beach, Virginia and with regulatory compliance. If the current volatility in the ten-year treasury yield continues, we may experience lower loan demand, particularly for refinancings, which could negatively affect earnings of the mortgage banking segment for the remainder of 2013 and possibly beyond.
Consumer Finance Segment. C&F Finance Company reported net income of $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, consistent with the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months of 2013, C&F Finance Company reported net income of $6.4 million, compared to $6.5 million for the first six months of 2012.
The consumer finance segment's net income for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 continued to benefit from sustained loan growth and low funding costs on its variable-rate borrowings. These benefits were partially offset by an increase in provision for loan loss expenses resulting from increases in loan charge-offs. The increases in charge-offs were the continued result of an impaired economic environment and lower resale values on repossessed vehicles. Additionally, the consumer finance segment's earnings during the second quarter of 2013 continued to be affected by (1) a decline in average loan yields in response to loan pricing strategies used by competitors attempting to grow market share in automobile financing and (2) higher personnel expenses resulting from an increase in the number of personnel to support loan growth and segment expansion into new markets.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans at June 30, 2013 was 7.97 percent, as compared with 7.96 percent at December 31, 2012. Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the consumer finance loan portfolio.
Other Segments. Other segments reported an aggregate net loss of $646,000 for the second quarter of 2013, compared to a net loss of $136,000 for the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months of 2013, other segments reported an aggregate net loss of $932,000, compared to a net loss of $345,000 for the first six months of 2012. Other segments includes the corporation's holding company, which recognized $524,000 and $648,000 in transactions costs, net of taxes, ($581,000 and $782,000 prior to taxes, respectively) during the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, associated with the corporation's pending acquisition of CVB.
Capital and Dividends. The corporation's capital and liquidity positions remain strong. The corporation paid a quarterly cash dividend of 29 cents per common share during the second quarter of 2013. The Board of Directors of the corporation continues to review the dividend payout ratio, which was 22.66 percent of net income available to common shareholders during the second quarter of 2013, in light of changes in economic conditions, capital levels, expected future levels of earnings and the changes to the regulatory capital framework that were approved on July 9, 2013 by the federal banking agencies.

Proposed Business Combination.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval. Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc. has mailed a proxy statement to its shareholders in connection with their vote on the proposed transaction. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION REGARDING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION, SHAREHOLDERS OF CENTRAL VIRGINIA BANKSHARES, INC. ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Shareholders of Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc. may obtain copies of all documents regarding this transaction, free of charge, by accessing Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc.'s website at www.centralvabank.com.

Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The accounting and reporting policies of the corporation conform to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP measures are used by management to supplement the evaluation of the corporation's performance. These include the following fully-taxable equivalent ("FTE") measures: interest income on loans-FTE, interest income on securities-FTE, total interest income-FTE and net interest income-FTE, and the adjusted annualized net charge-off ratio for the combined Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments.
Management believes that FTE measures provide users of the corporation's financial information a presentation of the performance of interest earning assets on a basis that is comparable within the banking industry. Management reviews interest income of the corporation on an FTE basis. In this non-GAAP presentation, interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis. This measure ensures the comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.
Management believes that the presentation of the adjusted annualized net charge-off ratio for the combined Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments that excludes the effect of a significant nonrecurring charge-off recognized in a single accounting period permits a comparison of asset quality related to ongoing business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses the corporation's performance and establishes goals for the future.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP-basis financial statements, and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these or similar measures differently. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by the corporation to evaluate and measure the corporation's performance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is presented below.
