    Tom Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer of C&F Financial Corporation, commented, “In the third quarter, we maintained our momentum from the first half of the year with strong loan growth at the community banking and consumer finance segments. Asset quality remains sound at both segments, which continue to see low delinquencies and charge-offs. Our margins are increasing as the Federal Reserve continues to raise short term interest rates. Given the recent increases in interest rates, the mortgage industry has seen a significant decline in volume and our mortgage banking segment is no exception. However, we are confident our traditional focus on purchase lending, as opposed to refinancing activity, will help keep us competitive in the market. We are following the impact of inflation and rising interest rates on our customers and on our own operating costs, but we believe earnings and asset quality are solid as we head into the fourth quarter of 2022.”

    Key highlights for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 are as follows.

    • Community banking segment loans as of September 30, 2022 grew $23.0 million, or 8.6 percent annualized, compared to June 30, 2022, excluding the effect of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. Average community bank segment loans increased 9.9 percent and 8.9 percent for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, excluding the effect of PPP loans;
    • Consumer finance segment loans as of September 30, 2022 grew $28.6 million, or 26.2 percent annualized, compared to June 30, 2022. Average consumer finance segment loans increased 33.6 percent and 28.0 percent for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021;
    • Average deposits increased 9.0 percent and 8.9 percent for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021;
    • The community banking segment recorded no provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021. For the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, the community banking segment recorded net reversals of provision for loan losses of $700,000 and $200,000, respectively;
    • The consumer finance segment recorded provision for loan losses of $1.2 million and $400,000 for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, the consumer finance segment recorded provision for loan losses of $2.1 million and $220,000, respectively;
    • Consolidated annualized net interest margin was 4.37 percent for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 4.25 percent and 4.12 percent for the third quarter of 2021 and second quarter of 2022, respectively. The increase in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2022 was due primarily to utilizing lower yielding cash to fund growth in higher yielding loans and securities, as well as higher average yields on earning assets, including the effects of rising market interest rates. Consolidated annualized net interest margin was 4.15 percent for the first nine months of 2022, compared to 4.31 percent for the first nine months of 2021;
    • The community banking segment recognized no net PPP origination fees in the third quarter of 2022 and $679,000 in the first nine months of 2022, compared to $1.3 million and $3.4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively. All net PPP origination fees received by C&F Bank had been recognized in income as of June 30, 2022;
    • The consumer finance segment experienced net charge-offs at an annualized rate of 0.71 percent of average total loans for the third quarter of 2022, compared to net recoveries of 0.09 for the third quarter of 2021. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans were 0.19 percent for the first nine months of 2022, compared to net recoveries of 0.08 for the first nine months of 2021. Delinquencies remain lower than pre-pandemic levels and a strong used car market has mitigated losses on defaulted loans;
    • The consumer finance segment’s average loan yield declined as a result of pursuing growth in higher quality, lower yielding loans, partially offset by rising interest rates; and
    • Mortgage banking segment loan originations decreased 48.6 percent and 49.6 percent for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 amid rising mortgage interest rates and declines in mortgage industry volume.

    Community Banking Segment.   The community banking segment reported net income of $5.4 million and $13.8 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to $4.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively for the same periods in 2021.

    Community banking segment net income increased $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2022 and $2.9 million for the first nine months, compared to the same periods in 2021 due primarily to:

    • higher interest income resulting from higher average balances of interest-earning assets, including loans and securities, and the effects of rising interest rates on asset yields;
    • lower interest expense for the first nine months 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 fees; and
    • a reversal of provision for loan losses of $700,000 in the first nine 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 nine months of 2021,

    partially offset by:

    • lower recognition of net PPP origination fees and lower interest income on purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans;
    • higher salaries and employee benefits expense including adding new talent to the commercial lending team;
    • 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
    • higher marketing and travel expense as typical programs and community and educational events return to normalized levels after reduced activity due to COVID-19 during 2021.

    Average loans increased $49.7 million, or 4.8 percent, for the third quarter of 2022 and increased $15.6 million, or 1.5 percent, for the first nine months of 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. Excluding the impact of PPP loans, average loans increased $97.2 million, or 9.9 percent, for the third quarter of 2022, and increased $85.4 million, or 8.9 percent, for the first nine months of 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase in average loans outstanding for the third quarter and first nine 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 $165.0 million, or 9.0 percent, for the third quarter of 2022 and increased $162.2 million, or 8.9 percent for the first nine 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 third quarter and first nine 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 were amortized over the contractual term of the related loan or accelerated into interest income upon repayment of the loan. There were no net PPP origination fees recognized in the third quarter of 2022 and $679,000 recognized during the first nine months of 2022, compared to $1.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021. All net PPP origination fees received by C&F Bank had been recognized in income as of June 30, 2022, totaling $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 third quarters and first nine months of 2022 and 2021. Interest income recognized on PCI loans was $251,000 and $364,000 for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.3 million and $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.   Market interest rates have risen during the first nine months of 2022, and short-term interest rates are expected to continue to rise during the remainder 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 $1.9 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets included $1.4 million in nonaccrual loans and $423,000 in OREO at September 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 September 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 was primarily due to the resolution of certain impaired loans during the first nine months of 2022. The community banking segment recorded no provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2022 and recorded a net reversal of provision for loan losses of $700,000 for the first nine months of 2022, compared to no provision for loan losses recorded for the third quarter of 2021 and a reversal of provision for loan losses of $200,000 for the first nine months of 2021. At September 30, 2022, the allowance for loan losses decreased to $14.2 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 $24,000 and $1.7 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to net income of $2.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively for the same periods in 2021.  

    The decrease in net income of the mortgage banking segment for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 was due primarily to lower volume of mortgage loan originations and mortgage lender services, lower margins on sales of mortgage loans, and lower average balances of loans held for sale, partially offset by lower provision for indemnification reserves and lower expenses tied to mortgage loan origination volume such as salaries and employee benefits, loan processing, and data processing.

    Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment were $184.3 million and $585.3 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to $358.3 million and $1.16 billion, respectively, for the same periods in 2021. Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment during the third quarter of 2022 for refinancings and home purchases were $18.3 million and $166.0 million, respectively, compared to $95.0 million and $263.3 million, respectively, during the third quarter of 2021. Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment during the first nine months of 2022 for refinancings and home purchases were $92.1 million and $493.2 million, respectively, compared to $438.5 million and $723.6 million, respectively, during the first nine 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 rapid rise in mortgage interest rates, combined with limited inventory of homes for sale, has led to a substantial decline in mortgage originations.

    During the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, the mortgage banking segment recorded provisions for indemnification losses of $11,000 and a reversal of provisions for indemnification losses of $858,000, respectively, compared to provision for indemnification losses of $20,000 and $52,000, respectively, in the same periods of 2021. The release of indemnification reserves in the first nine 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 $1.8 million and $6.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to net income of $2.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively for the same periods in 2021.

    Net income for the consumer finance segment decreased $415,000 and $1.6 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021 due to margin compression resulting from lower average yields on automobile loans and increased borrowing costs on variable rate loans from the community banking segment 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 strong loan performance. Average yields on loans decreased for the third quarter and first nine 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 $114.1 million, or 33.6%, for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 and increased $91.3 million, or 28.0% for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The consumer finance segment experienced net charge-offs at an annualized rate of 0.71 percent of average total loans for the third quarter of 2022, compared to net recoveries of 0.09 for the third quarter of 2021. Annualized net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2022 were 0.19 percent of average total loans, compared to net recoveries of 0.08 percent for the first nine months of 2021. The change in the net charge-off ratio for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 reflect a higher number of charge-offs during 2022 as government stimulus measures in response to the pandemic that benefitted borrowers had a decreased effect in 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. Despite some weakening in 2022, the consumer finance segment has experienced loan performance since 2020 that has been consistently stronger than periods prior to the onset of 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. At September 30, 2022, total delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans was 2.31 percent, compared to 2.16 percent at December 31, 2021 and 1.92 percent at September 30, 2021. The allowance for loan losses was $26.3 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $24.8 million at December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased to 5.64 percent at September 30, 2022 from 6.73 percent and 6.85 percent at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of continued strong credit quality. 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 increased its quarterly cash dividend by 5 percent compared to the previous quarterly dividend, to 42 cents per share during the third quarter of 2022. This dividend, paid to shareholders on October 1, 2022 represents a payout ratio of 22.7 percent of earnings per share for the third 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 $25.6 million at September 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 nine 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 third quarter of 2022, the Corporation repurchased 34,262 shares, or $1.7 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.
