Insights
FCCO's Q1 shows 54% YoY earnings growth, impressive loan/deposit expansion, and excellent credit quality despite slight QoQ earnings decline.
First Community delivered net income of $3.997 million with diluted EPS of $0.51 for Q1 2025, representing substantial year-over-year growth of 54% from Q1 2024's $2.597 million and $0.34 EPS. However, these figures reflect a modest sequential decline from Q4 2024's $4.232 million and $0.55 EPS.
The bank demonstrated robust balance sheet momentum with loan growth of $31.4 million (10.4% annualized rate) and even stronger deposit growth of $49.8 million (12.1% annualized). Commercial loan production surged 93% year-over-year and 62% quarter-over-quarter, reaching $53.6 million, while loan payoffs declined 30% compared to Q1 2024.
FCCO's margin management deserves attention, with net interest margin expanding 13 basis points to 3.13%. This expansion occurred while simultaneously reducing funding costs – deposit costs decreased 6 basis points to 1.85% and overall funding costs fell 11 basis points to 1.94%. Non-interest-bearing deposits now comprise 27.2% of total deposits, highlighting the franchise's deposit quality.
Credit metrics remain exemplary with non-performing assets at just 0.03% of total assets, past-due loans at 0.14%, and net recoveries rather than charge-offs during the quarter. The bank maintains strong capital with all regulatory ratios exceeding well-capitalized thresholds.
The sequential earnings decline appears largely attributable to seasonal factors and planned expenses – higher Q1 payroll taxes, increased commissions from improved production, and planned marketing activities. These temporary expense drivers don't diminish the underlying fundamental strength exhibited across other metrics.
The continued quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share marks the bank's 93rd consecutive quarter of shareholder distributions, reflecting management's confidence in sustained performance.

Certain financial information presented above is determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include "Tangible book value per common share," "Tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets," "Return on average tangible common equity," and "Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings."
- "Tangible book value per common share" is defined as total equity reduced by recorded intangible assets divided by total common shares outstanding.
- "Tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets" is defined as total common equity reduced by recorded intangible assets divided by total assets reduced by recorded intangible assets.
- "Return on average tangible common equity" is defined as net income on an annualized basis divided by average total equity reduced by average recorded intangible assets.
- "Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings" is defined as net interest income plus non-interest income, reduced by non-interest expense.
Our management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful because they enhance the ability of investors and management to evaluate and compare our operating results from period-to-period in a meaningful manner. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP.
