Preserving Asset Quality, Maintaining Safe Operations, Strong Residential Mortgage Activity
LYNCHBURG, Va., Jan. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:BOTJ), the parent company of Bank of the James, a full-service commercial and retail bank serving Region 2000 (the greater Lynchburg MSA), and the Blacksburg, Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Lexington, and Roanoke, Virginia markets, today announced unaudited results for the three and 12 month periods ended December 31, 2020.
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was
Robert R. Chapman III, President and CEO, commented: “In 2020, our Company’s primary areas of focus were ensuring the health and safety of our employees and our customers, providing responsive service and operating efficiently with robust technological capabilities, and maintaining asset quality and liquidity in a fast-changing and challenging marketplace. While adapting to a more digital and socially distanced environment, our experienced bankers demonstrated flexibility and dedication as they met the challenges and provided the financial guidance, services and products customers needed.
“Our Company’s response to unprecedented economic and operating conditions enabled Bank of the James to deliver a positive financial performance, which included the best fourth quarter earnings in the Company’s history. We strengthened the balance sheet by enhancing liquidity, increasing the allowance for loan losses, lowering total nonperforming assets, and increasing total assets compared with a year earlier. Our financial performance continued a longstanding history of building shareholder value, including the continuation of a quarterly cash dividend. As we enter 2021, we continue to be on alert in a still-evolving and challenging economic environment.”
Highlights
- Net income in 2020 reflected strong noninterest income, which included record revenue from the gain on sale of originated residential mortgages to the secondary market. For the year ended December 31, 2020, total noninterest income was
$11.0 million , up53% compared with$7.2 million a year earlier. In addition to gains on sales of residential mortgages, noninterest income also reflected increased year-over-year income from gains on sales of available-for-sale securities, higher revenue from corporate treasury services, and loan processing and other fees. - Net interest income was
$6.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, up from$6.1 million a year earlier. For the year ended December 31, 2020, net interest income was$25.1 million compared with$24.6 million a year earlier. As a result of reduced commercial loan demand and activity due to the pandemic, interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was slightly lower than 2019. The decrease was more than offset by lower interest expense during the same period. - Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, were
$601.9 million at December 31, 2020, compared with$573.3 million at December 31, 2019. The increase primarily reflects the addition of government-guaranteed Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loans. Net loans declined from the end of the third quarter of 2020 as government PPP loans were forgiven. - Asset quality remained sound at
0.34% of nonperforming loans to total loans. The allowance for loan losses to total loans increased to1.17% at December 31, 2020 (approximately1.27% excluding government-guaranteed PPP loans) from0.84% at December 31, 2019, primarily reflecting increased reserves related to the impact of COVID-19. - Total deposits increased sharply to
$765.0 million at December 31, 2020 from$649.5 million at December 31, 2019. The increase reflects core deposit growth (noninterest-bearing demand, NOW, savings and money market accounts) as customers maintained higher balances, attributable in part to government economic stimulus funds not yet deployed, and also organic growth from increased deposit relationships. - Total stockholders’ equity was
$66.7 million at December 31, 2020 compared with$61.4 million at December 31, 2019. Book value per share rose to$15.38 per share from$14.10 t he prior year. - On January 19, 2021 the Company’s board of directors approved a
$0.07 per share dividend payable to stockholders of record on March 5, 2021, to be paid on March 19, 2021. - The Company's board of directors has also authorized a share repurchase program extending through January 18, 2022, which authorizes the Company to buy back up to 47,000 shares on such terms and conditions as the Company deems favorable and in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
“The pandemic and economic uncertainty in 2020 impacted our normal commercial lending activity and growth; however, we did earn new customers and help meet the capital needs of business customers with our wide variety of lending products and capabilities. Driven in part by PPP lending, commercial lending was up significantly year-over year. Both residential and commercial construction lending continued at a brisk pace. Our participation in the PPP was a positive experience, helping many small and medium-sized businesses throughout the region. We are ready to provide further assistance as a subsequent round of government-backed financing has just become available.
“Our mortgage business had an exceptional year as demand for homes throughout our served region was very strong. Our mortgage team, working with advanced technology, credit analysis and loan processing tools, were able to communicate and work with customers quickly and efficiently in a digitally driven environment. Residential mortgage origination activity drove significant noninterest income growth.
“While we remain cautious and watchful, we were last year, and continue to be encouraged by the relative economic strength of our region despite the appropriately cautious approach taken by businesses and individuals. Unemployment rates in the markets we serve have trended below national averages, housing demand has been strong, in part caused by low home inventories, and there continues to be generally stable business activity.
“We continue to focus on protecting the health and safety of employees and customers while effectively conducting business. We have continued our tradition of supporting the community through financial support of charitable and civic organizations, and we express unwavering gratitude for the services being provided by community outreach organizations, healthcare professionals, first-responders, and essential workers.”
Fourth Quarter, Full Year 2020 Operational Review
Total interest income was
Despite a larger deposit base and increased core deposits (noninterest-bearing demand, NOW, savings and money market accounts) interest expense during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020 decreased as compared to the same periods last year due to a decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities from

J. Todd Scruggs, Executive Vice President and CFO, commented: “While the reduction in the year-over-year margin and spread was disappointing, because of the challenges presented by the operating environment, we consider the reduction acceptable. Throughout the year, pressure on interest rates, the addition of low-interest PPP loans, which had a negative impact on rates earned, and carrying additional contingent liquidity in the form of Fed funds contributed to net interest margin compression.
“We received some PPP forgiveness payments in the fourth quarter of 2020, and while some PPP fees were accreted into interest income, the fees did not offset a decline in loan yields. In 2021 we anticipate that we will realize additional fees related to the PPP loans of approximately
