“Our solid results for 2022 were a product of the diversified business strategy we have built, along with responsible growth,” commented Tom Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer of C&F Financial Corporation. “While our mortgage banking segment’s earnings were lower due to a substantial decline in volume of loans sold, consistent with the industry as a whole, and our consumer finance segment’s earnings were negatively impacted by an increase in borrowing costs, our community banking segment’s earnings grew significantly. With the impact of rising short term interest rates, coupled with earning-asset growth, the community banking segment performed extremely well this year with strong momentum heading into 2023, especially with the recent opening of our new financial center in downtown Fredericksburg. The consumer finance segment saw record loan growth, and delinquencies and net charge-offs remain below pre-pandemic levels, however increased borrowing costs compressed margins which had an adverse effect on earnings. We’re excited about the position C&F is in and look forward to the opportunities this new year brings.”

Key highlights for the fourth quarter of 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022 are as follows.

Community Banking Segment.  The community banking segment reported net income of $10.6 million and $24.4 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to $3.2 million and $14.1 million, respectively for the same periods in 2021.

Community banking segment net income increased $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021 due primarily to:

partially offset by:

Adjusted net income for the community banking segment, which excludes the effects of real estate disposal activity related to branch consolidation, a change in accounting policy election and pension settlement charges, was $8.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2021, and was $22.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $15.0 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted net income for the community banking segment increased $4.1 million and $7.0 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021 due primarily to the items discussed above.

Average loans increased $111.1 million, or 10.8 percent, for the fourth quarter of 2022 and increased $39.7 million, or 3.8 percent, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. Excluding the impact of PPP loans, average loans increased $134.7 million, or 13.4 percent, for the fourth quarter of 2022, and increased $96.4 million, or 9.9 percent, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase in average loans outstanding for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 resulted primarily from growth in the commercial real estate and residential mortgage segments of the loan portfolio. Average deposits increased $127.9 million, or 6.8 percent, for the fourth quarter of 2022 and increased $153.6 million, or 8.4 percent for the year ended December 31, 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 higher for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, due primarily to the effects of rising interest rates. Average loan yields were lower for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 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 fourth quarter of 2022 and $679,000 recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $692,000 and $4.1 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 fourth quarters and years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Interest income recognized on PCI loans was $296,000 and $571,000 for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.6 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Market interest rates have risen during 2022, and short-term interest rates are expected to continue to rise moving into 2023, which the community banking segment expects to continue to result in increases in asset yields and ultimately in its cost of funds.

C&F Bank’s total nonperforming assets were $115,000 at December 31, 2022 compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets included $115,000 in nonaccrual loans and no OREO at December 31, 2022 and included $2.4 million in nonaccrual loans and $835,000 in OREO at December 31, 2021. The decrease in nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 was due primarily to the resolution of certain impaired loans during 2022. The community banking segment recorded provision for loan losses of $100,000 for the fourth quarter of 2022 and recorded a net reversal of provision for loan losses of $600,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to no provision for loan losses recorded for the fourth quarter of 2021 and a net reversal of provision for loan losses of $200,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2022, the allowance for loan losses decreased to $14.5 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 a net loss of $462,000 and net income of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to net income of $1.1 million and $7.7 million, respectively for the same periods in 2021.

The decrease in net income of the mortgage banking segment for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 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 expenses tied to mortgage loan origination volume such as salaries and employee benefits, loan processing, and data processing and lower provision for indemnification reserves.

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 during 2022, combined with higher home prices, has led to a substantial decline in mortgage loan originations. Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment were $112.1 million and $697.3 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to $296.9 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, for the same periods in 2021. Mortgage loan originations during the fourth quarter of 2022 for refinancings and home purchases were $13.4 million and $98.7 million, respectively, compared to $83.6 million and $213.3 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter of 2021. Mortgage loan originations during the year ended December 31, 2022 for refinancings and home purchases were $105.4 million and $591.9 million, respectively, compared to $522.1 million and $936.9 million, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2021.

During the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, the mortgage banking segment recorded no provision for indemnification losses and a reversal of provision for indemnification losses of $858,000, respectively, compared to reversals of provision for indemnification losses of $155,000 and $104,000, respectively, in the same periods of 2021. 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, 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 $795,000 and $6.8 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to net income of $2.4 million and $10.0 million, respectively for the same periods in 2021.

Net income for the consumer finance segment decreased $1.6 million and $3.1 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021 due to margin compression resulting from lower average yields on automobile loans and increased costs on variable rate borrowings 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 lower required reserves resulting from strong loan performance. Average yields on loans decreased for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 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 $113.6 million, or 31.6%, for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 and increased $96.9 million, or 29.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The consumer finance segment experienced net charge-offs at an annualized rate of 1.66 percent of average total loans for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to net recoveries of 0.29 for the fourth quarter of 2021. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2022 were 0.59 percent of average total loans, compared to net recoveries of 0.14 percent for the year ended December 31, 2021. The change in the net charge-off ratio for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 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, the wholesale value of used automobiles declined, and there are challenges in repossessing automobiles. Although beginning to rise 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. 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 December 31, 2022, total delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans was 2.78 percent, compared to 2.16 percent at December 31, 2021 and 2.31 percent at September 30, 2022. The allowance for loan losses was $26.0 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $24.8 million at December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased to 5.47 percent at December 31, 2022 from 6.73 percent and 5.64 percent at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, 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 declared cash dividends during the year ended December 31, 2022 totaling $1.64 per share. The Corporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of 42 cents per share during the fourth quarter of 2022, which was paid on January 1, 2023. These dividends represent a payout ratio of 14.1 percent of earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 19.8 percent of earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 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 $14.8 million at December 31, 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 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 2022. This share repurchase program expired on November 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2022, the Corporation has made aggregate common stock repurchases of 89,373 shares for an aggregate amount repurchased of $4.6 million under this share repurchase program. On November 15, 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 fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Corporation repurchased $1.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of its common stock under these share repurchase plans.

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 adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted ROE, adjusted ROA, ROTCE, adjusted 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 items that do not reflect ongoing operating performance, 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.
