Tom Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer of C&F Financial Corporation, commented, “Overall, we were pleased with our second quarter results. The community banking segment continues to grow loans and deposits and is seeing an expansion of net interest margin despite the falloff of income from PPP loans. The consumer finance segment is delivering outstanding growth in its loan portfolio and is experiencing better credit performance than ever before. And while mortgage volume has subsided from the highs of 2020 and 2021, we believe the mortgage banking segment’s traditional focus on purchase lending will help us to remain competitive as refinancing activity has been substantially curtailed following a jump in mortgage interest rates. We are watchful of several challenges to the economy in the communities we serve, including inflation and its impact on consumers and our own operating costs, and rising interest rates and their effect on economic growth. Earnings and asset quality remain strong, and we are optimistic about our prospects for responsible growth as we continue to carry out our strategic objectives throughout 2022.”

Key highlights for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 are as follows. Comparisons are to the corresponding periods in the prior year unless otherwise stated.

• Community banking segment loans as of June 30, 2022 grew $43.5 million or 16.9 percent annualized compared to March 31, 2022, excluding the effect of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. Average community bank segment loans increased 9.9 percent and 7.9 percent for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, excluding the effect of PPP loans;
• Consumer finance segment loans as of June 30, 2022 grew $40.3 million or 40.7 percent annualized compared to March 31, 2022. Average consumer finance segment loans increased 28.4 percent and 24.9 percent for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021;
• Average deposits increased 8.1 percent and 7.0 percent for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively;
• The community banking segment recorded no provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2022, compared to a net reversal of $200,000. For the first six months of 2022, the community banking segment recorded a net reversal of provision for loan losses of $700,000, compared to a net reversal of $200,000;
• The consumer finance segment recorded provision for loan losses of $520,000 for the second quarter of 2022, compared to a net reversal of provision of $430,000. For the first six months of 2022, the consumer finance segment recorded provision for loan losses of $870,000, compared with a net reversal of $180,000;
• The consumer finance segment experienced net recoveries at an annualized rate of 0.13 percent of average total loans for the first six months of 2022, compared to net recoveries of 0.07 for the first six months of 2021. Delinquencies remain lower than pre-pandemic levels and a strong used car market has mitigated losses on defaulted loans;
• Consolidated annualized net interest margin was 4.12 percent for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 4.37 percent and 3.93 percent for the second quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022, respectively. Consolidated annualized net interest margin was 4.02 percent for the first six months of 2022, compared to 4.35 percent for the first six months of 2021. The increase in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2022 was due primarily to utilizing lower yielding cash to fund growth in higher yielding loans and investments, as well as higher average yields on earning assets, including the effects of rising market interest rates;
• The community banking segment recognized net PPP origination fees of $242,000 and $679,000 in the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $2.1 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021, respectively;
• The consumer finance segment’s average loan yield declined as a result of pursuing growth in higher quality, lower yielding loans; and
• Mortgage banking segment loan originations decreased 44.6 percent and 50.1 percent for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 amid declines in mortgage industry volume and rising mortgage interest rates.

Community Banking Segment.   The community banking segment reported net income of $4.8 million and $8.3 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, compared to $3.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively for the same periods in 2021.

Community banking segment net income increased $891,000 for the second quarter of 2022 and $1.6 million for the first six months, compared to the same periods in 2021 due primarily to:

• higher interest income resulting from higher average balances of loans (excluding PPP loans), securities and cash reserves, and the effects of rising interest rates on asset yields;
• lower interest expense due to lower average cost of time deposits and a shift in balances from time deposits toward lower-cost savings, money market and demand deposits;
• higher revenue from overdraft fees and debit card interchange; and
• a reversal of provision for loan losses of $700,000 in the first six months of 2022, due primarily to the resolution of certain impaired loans and continued strong credit quality of the loan portfolio, compared to a reversal of provision for loan losses of $200,000 in the first six months of 2021,

partially offset by:

• lower recognition of net PPP origination fees and lower interest income on purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans;
• the sale of an other real estate owned (OREO) property in the second quarter of 2021, which resulted in a gain of $399,000; and
• no provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2022 compared to a reversal of provision for loan losses of $200,000 in the second quarter of 2021.
  

Average loans increased $18.8 million, or 1.8 percent, for the second quarter of 2022 and decreased $1.7 million, or less than one percent, for the first six months of 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. Excluding the impact of PPP loans, average loans increased $95.1 million, or 9.9 percent, for the second quarter of 2022, and increased $76.0 million, or 7.9 percent, for the first six months of 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase in average loans outstanding excluding PPP loans for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 resulted primarily from growth in the commercial real estate and construction segments of the loan portfolio. Average deposits increased $177.2 million, or 9.6 percent, for the second quarter of 2022 and increased $160.8 million, or 8.9 percent for the first six months of 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021, and the mix of deposit balances shifted away from time deposits and toward lower cost savings, money market and demand deposits.

Average loan yields were lower for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021, due primarily to lower recognition of net origination fees on PPP loans and lower interest income on PCI loans, partially offset by the effects of rising interest rates during 2022.   PPP loans earn interest at a note rate of one percent as well as net origination fees that are amortized over the contractual term of the related loan or accelerated into interest income upon repayment of the loan. Net PPP origination fees recognized in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 were $242,000 and $679,000, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021. As of June 30, 2022, all net PPP origination fees received by C&F Bank have been recognized in income, totalling $6.3 million since the inception of the PPP in the second quarter of 2020. The recognition of interest income on PCI loans, which were acquired in connection with past mergers and acquisitions, is based on management’s expectation of future payments of principal and interest, which are inherently uncertain. Earlier than expected repayments of certain PCI loans resulted in the recognition of additional interest income during the second quarters and first six months of 2022 and 2021. Interest income recognized on PCI loans was $656,000 and $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021 and $1.0 million and $1.5 million for the first six months of 2022 and 2021.   Market interest rates have risen during the first six months of 2022, and short-term interest rates are expected to continue to rise during the second half of the year, which the community banking segment expects to continue to result in increases in asset yields, net interest margin and net interest income in future periods.

C&F Bank’s total nonperforming assets were $548,000 at June 30, 2022 compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets included $125,000 in nonaccrual loans and $423,000 in OREO at June 30, 2022 and included $2.4 million in nonaccrual loans and $835,000 in OREO at December 31, 2021. The decrease in nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 was primarily due to the resolution of certain impaired loans during the first six months of 2022.   The community banking segment recorded no provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2022 and recorded a net reversal of provision for loan losses of $700,000 for the first six months of 2022, compared to a net reversal of provision of $200,000 for both the second quarter and first six months of 2021. At June 30, 2022, the allowance for loan losses decreased to $14.1 million, compared to $14.8 million at December 31, 2021. Decreases in the allowance for loan losses during 2022 related to the resolution of certain impaired loans and continued strong credit quality of the loan portfolio, which were partially offset by provision related to growth in the loan portfolio. Management believes that the level of the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio.

Mortgage Banking Segment.   The mortgage banking segment reported net income of $782,000 and $1.6 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, compared to net income of $2.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively for the same periods in 2021.  

The decrease in net income of the mortgage banking segment for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 was due primarily to lower volume of mortgage loan originations, lower margins on sales of mortgage loans and lower average balances of loans held for sale, partially offset by reversals of provision for indemnification losses.  

Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment were $211.1 million and $401.0 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, compared to $381.3 million and $803.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021. Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment during the second quarter of 2022 for refinancings and home purchases were $25.4 million and $185.7 million, respectively, compared to $108.2 million and $273.1 million, respectively, during the second quarter of 2021. Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment during the first six months of 2022 for refinancings and home purchases were $73.8 million and $327.2 million, respectively, compared to $343.4 million and $460.4 million, respectively, during the first six months of 2021.   Following the elevated volume levels in the mortgage industry during 2020 and 2021 that accompanied historically low mortgage interest rates and a highly active residential real estate market, the first six months of 2022 represents a return to levels of mortgage banking segment volume (of both refinancings and home purchases) that are normalized and in line with historical production of the mortgage banking segment.

During the second quarter and first six months of 2022, the mortgage banking segment recorded a reversal of provisions for indemnification losses of $287,000 and $869,000, respectively, compared to provision for indemnification losses of $15,000 and $32,000, respectively, in the same periods of 2021. The release of indemnification reserves in the first six months of 2022 was due primarily to improvement in the mortgage banking segment’s assessment of borrower payment performance and other factors affecting expected losses on mortgage loans sold in the secondary market. The mortgage banking segment increased reserves for indemnification losses during 2020 based on widespread forbearance on mortgage loans and economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, the mortgage banking segment has not made any payments for indemnification losses since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and management believes that the indemnification reserve is sufficient to absorb losses related to loans that have been sold in the secondary market.

Consumer Finance Segment.   The consumer finance segment reported net income of $2.2 million and $4.3 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, compared to net income of $2.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively for the same periods in 2021.

Net income for the consumer finance segment decreased $680,000 and $1.1 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021 due to margin compression resulting from lower average yields on automobile loans and higher provision for loan losses, partially offset by loan growth. Provision for loan losses increased as a result of significant loan growth in 2022, partially offset by a release of reserves related to continued improvement in loan performance. Average yields on loans decreased for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 as a result of the consumer finance segment’s pursuing growth in higher quality, lower yielding loans.  

Average loans outstanding increased $92.3 million, or 28.4%, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 and increased $79.7 million, or 24.9% for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The consumer finance segment experienced annualized net recoveries for the first six months of 2022 of 0.13 percent of average total loans, compared to net recoveries of 0.07 percent for the first six months of 2021. The change in the net recovery ratio for the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021 reflects a lower number of charge-offs during 2022. Charge-offs in both years were lower than historical levels for the consumer finance segment, due to strong loan performance and a strong market for used autos, which mitigates losses on defaulted auto loans. The consumer finance segment has experienced loan performance since 2020 that has been generally stronger than periods prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in part from the consumer finance segment continuing to purchase higher quality loans, and in part from government stimulus measures in response to the pandemic that benefitted borrowers.   At June 30, 2022, total delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans was 2.07 percent, compared to 2.16 percent at December 31, 2021 and 1.77 percent at June 30, 2021. The allowance for loan losses was $25.9 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $24.8 million at December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased to 5.92 percent at June 30, 2022 from 6.73 percent and 7.04 percent at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of improving credit quality of the portfolio, which has resulted in lower net charge-offs, and a reduction of certain qualitative adjustments to reserves related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Management believes that the level of the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. If loan performance deteriorates resulting in elevated delinquencies or net charge-offs, provision for loan losses may increase in future periods.

Capital and Dividends. The Corporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of 40 cents per share during the second quarter of 2022, which was paid on July 1, 2022. These dividends represent a payout ratio of 20.9 percent of earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022. The Board of Directors of the Corporation continually reviews the amount of cash dividends per share and the resulting dividend payout ratio in light of changes in economic conditions, current and future capital requirements, and expected future earnings.

Total consolidated equity decreased $14.7 million at June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, due primarily to unrealized losses in the market value of securities available for sale, which are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. The Corporation’s securities available for sale are fixed income debt securities, and their decline in market value during the first six months of 2022 was a result of rising market interest rates. The Corporation expects to recover its investments in debt securities through scheduled payments of principal and interest, and unrealized losses are not expected to affect the earnings or regulatory capital of the Corporation or the Bank.

In November 2021, the Board of Directors authorized a program, effective December 1, 2021, to repurchase up to $10.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock through November 30, 2022. During the second quarter of 2022, the Corporation repurchased 22,164 shares, or $1.1 million, of its common stock under this share repurchase program.

Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to 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 return on tangible common equity (ROTCE), tangible book value per share, and 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.

Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides meaningful information about operating performance by enhancing comparability with other financial periods, other financial institutions, and between different sources of interest income. The non-GAAP measures used by management enhance comparability by excluding the effects of balances of intangible assets, including goodwill, that vary significantly between institutions, and tax benefits that are not consistent across different opportunities for investment. 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.
