    "We are very pleased with our first quarter results,” commented Tom Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer of C&F Financial Corporation. “Each of our three business segments was profitable, but the changing economy has affected them differently. While rising interest rates and the related impacts on loan originations at our mortgage banking segment and borrowings costs at our consumer finance segment have decreased their respective earnings, compared to the same period last year, earnings at our community banking segment were up 83%, due primarily to an increase in our net interest income resulting from an increase in margins and an increase in loans outstanding. We believe these results demonstrate what makes our diversified business model both unique and exceptionally valuable.

    With the failures of two banks in the first quarter, we are mindful of the general uneasiness and uncertainty within the banking industry. The issues that gave rise to these bank failures were unique to those two banks and are not indicative of broader problems in banking and absolutely do not represent what is happening at C&F. We remain well capitalized, even after considering unrealized losses in our bond portfolio, and we have fast access to liquidity through lines of credit that exceed the amount of our uninsured deposits. Our total deposits are down less than 1% from December 31, 2022, and are up 1.3% from March of 2022. The majority of this slight decrease in deposits during the first quarter is seasonal changes in our municipal deposits, which are secured with pledged investments.

    C&F and the overall United States banking system will continue to perform their vital roles of protecting deposits and providing households and businesses with access to credit in a manner that promotes strong and sustainable growth.”

    Key highlights for the first quarter of 2023 are as follows.

    • Community banking segment loans grew $37.6 million, or 13.0 percent annualized, and $162.8 million, or 15.7%, compared to December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively;
    • Consumer finance segment loans grew $601 thousand, or less than 1 percent annualized, and $78.4 million, or 19.8%, compared to December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively;
    • Deposits decreased $8.1 million, or 1.6 percent annualized, and increased $26.1 million, or 1.3%, compared to December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively;
    • The community banking segment’s borrowings availability increased to $658.3 million at March 31, 2023, up from $432.6 million at December 31, 2022;
    • Uninsured deposits, excluding intercompany cash holdings and municipal deposits, which are secured with pledged investments, were $418.8 million, or 21.0 percent of total deposits at March 31, 2023;
    • The community banking segment recorded provision for credit losses of $450,000 for the first quarter of 2023 and recorded net reversals of provision for credit losses of $700,000 for the first quarter of 2022;
    • The consumer finance segment recorded provision for credit losses of $1.6 million and $350,000 for the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively;
    • Consolidated annualized net interest margin was 4.52 percent for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 3.93 percent and 4.65 percent for the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2022, respectively;
    • The consumer finance segment experienced net charge-offs at an annualized rate of 1.77 percent of average total loans for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 0.04 percent for the first quarter of 2022;
    • Mortgage banking segment loan originations increased 3.3 percent and decreased 39.0 percent for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2022, respectively; and
    • On January 1, 2023, the Corporation adopted the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) methodology for estimating credit losses, which resulted in a decrease to opening retained earnings of $1.1 million.  

    Community Banking Segment. The community banking segment reported net income of $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $2.9 million due primarily to:

    • higher interest income resulting from the effects of rising interest rates on asset yields, including on variable rate loans to the consumer finance segment, and higher average balances of interest-earning assets, including loans and securities;

    partially offset by:

    • higher interest expense due primarily to higher rates on deposits and higher borrowing balances;
    • provision for credit losses of $450,000 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to a reversal of provision for credit losses of $700,000 for the first quarter of 2022;
    • higher salaries and employee benefits expense, which increased in line with employment market conditions; and
    • higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) assessment expenses, due primarily to statutory increases applicable to all insured depository institutions.

    Average loans increased $148.8 million, or 14.5 percent, for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily from growth in the commercial real estate and residential mortgage segments of the loan portfolio. Average deposits increased $62.0 million, or 3.2 percent, for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 and decreased $27.7 million, or 1.4 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

    Average loan yields were higher for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022, due primarily to the effects of rising interest rates as market interest rates rose in 2022 and have risen so far in 2023. While the community banking segment expects loan yields to continue to rise, the cost of deposits is expected to rise at a faster pace therefore decreasing net interest margin for the remainder of the 2023.

    The community banking segment’s nonaccrual loans were $262,000 at March 31, 2023 compared to $115,000 at December 31, 2022. The community banking segment recorded provision for credit losses of $450,000 for the first quarter of 2023, due primarily to growth in the loan portfolio, compared to a net reversal of provision for credit losses of $700,000 for the first quarter of 2022, due primarily to the resolution of certain impaired loans, which resulted in no losses being realized, and the reduction of certain qualitative adjustments to reserves. At March 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses increased to $15.0 million, compared to $14.5 million at December 31, 2022, due primarily to growth in the loan portfolio and the adoption of CECL, which resulted in an implementation adjustment on January 1, 2023 of $85,000. Management believes that the level of the allowance for credit losses is adequate to reflect the net amount expected to be collected.

    Mortgage Banking Segment. The mortgage banking segment reported net income of $227,000 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $866,000 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $639,000 due primarily to:

    • lower volume of mortgage loan originations; and
    • lower reversals of provision for indemnifications;

    partially offset by:

    • lower expenses tied to mortgage loan origination volume such as salaries and employee benefits, loan processing, and data processing.

    The rapid rise in mortgage interest rates during 2022, combined with higher home prices, has led to a substantial decline in mortgage loan originations for the mortgage industry. Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment were $115.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $189.9 million for the same period in 2022. Mortgage loan originations during the first quarter of 2023 for refinancings and home purchases were $14.0 million and $101.8 million, respectively, compared to $48.4 million and $141.5 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2022. Mortgage loan originations in the first quarter of 2023 increased $3.7 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

    During the first quarter of 2023, the mortgage banking segment recorded no provision for indemnification losses compared to a reversal of provision for indemnification losses of $583,000 in the same period of 2022. The release of indemnification reserves in 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 in the first quarter of 2020, 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 $509,000 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $2.1 million for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $1.6 million due primarily to:

    • margin compression resulting from lower average yields on automobile loans, as a result of pursuing growth in higher quality, lower yielding loans, and increased costs on variable rate borrowings from the community banking segment; and
    • higher provision for credit losses as a result of increased net charge-offs;

    partially offset by:

    • higher interest income resulting from higher average balances of interest-earning assets and the effects of rising market interest rates.

    Average loans outstanding increased $94.1 million, or 24.7%, for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The consumer finance segment experienced net charge-offs at an annualized rate of 1.77 percent of average total loans for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 0.04 percent for the first quarter of 2022, due primarily to an increase in the number of delinquent loans following a period of historically low delinquencies during the COVID-19 pandemic, a decline in wholesale values of used automobiles from a recent peak during the COVID-19 pandemic and continued recent challenges in repossessing automobiles due to a decline in the number of repossession agencies, which results in a fully charged-off loan when the automobile cannot be repossessed. At March 31, 2023, total delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans was 2.33 percent, compared to 2.78 percent at December 31, 2022 and 1.71 percent at March 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses was $25.9 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $26.0 million at December 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans decreased to 5.45 percent at March 31, 2023 from 5.47 percent and 6.33 percent at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of growth in loans with stronger credit quality while balances of loans with lower credit quality declined, partially offset by the adoption of CECL, which resulted in an implementation adjustment on January 1, 2023 of $406,000. Management believes that the level of the allowance for credit losses is adequate to reflect the net amount expected to be collected. If loan performance deteriorates resulting in elevated delinquencies or net charge-offs, provision for credit losses may increase in future periods.

    Liquidity. The objective of the Corporation’s liquidity management is to ensure the continuous availability of funds to satisfy the credit needs of our customers and the demands of our depositors, creditors and investors. Uninsured deposits represent amounts above the FDIC limit. As of March 31, 2023, the Corporation’s uninsured deposits, adjusted to exclude intercompany cash holdings and municipal deposits, which are secured with pledged investments, were $418.8 million, or 21.0 percent of total deposits. The Corporation’s borrowing availability as of March 31, 2023 was $658.3 million, exceeding uninsured deposits by $239.5 million.

    In addition to deposits, the Corporation utilizes short-term and long-term borrowings as sources of funds. Short-term borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) may be used to fund the Corporation’s day-to-day operations. Short-term borrowings also include securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Borrowings increased to $201.0 million at March 31, 2023 from $92.1 million at December 31, 2022 and $88.1 million at March 31, 2022, due primarily to short-term borrowings from the FHLB.

    Additional sources of liquidity available to the Corporation include cash flows from operations, loan payments and payoffs, deposit growth, maturities, calls and sales of securities and the issuance of brokered certificates of deposit.

    Capital and Dividends. The Corporation increased its quarterly cash dividend by 5 percent compared to the previous quarterly dividend, to 44 cents per share during the first quarter of 2023, which was paid on April 1, 2023. This dividend represents a payout ratio of 23.7 percent of earnings per share for the first quarter of 2023. 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 increased $7.0 million at March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, due primarily to net income and lower unrealized losses in the market value of securities available for sale, which are recognized as a component of other comprehensive loss. The Corporation’s securities available for sale are fixed income debt securities, and their unrealized loss position is a result of rising market interest rates since they were purchased. 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.

    As of March 31, 2023, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the C&F Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized under regulations applicable at March 31, 2023, C&F Bank was required to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, CET1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios. In addition to the regulatory risk-based capital requirements, C&F Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer of additional capital of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets as required by the Basel III capital rules. The Corporation and C&F Bank exceeded these ratios at March 31, 2023. On April 1, 2023, the Corporation repaid $4.0 million of outstanding subordinated notes, which is expected to have an immaterial impact on capital levels of the Corporation and no impact on capital levels of C&F Bank. For additional information, see “Capital Ratios” below. The above mentioned ratios are not impacted by unrealized losses on securities available for sale. In the unlikely event that all of these unrealized losses became realized into earnings, the Corporation and C&F Bank would both continue to exceed minimum capital requires and be considered well capitalized.

    In November 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a program, effective December 1, 2022, to repurchase up to $10.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock through December 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2023, the Corporation repurchased 35,984 shares, or $2.1 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.
