F & M Bank Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2022 Earnings And Dividend
TIMBERVILLE, VA / ACCESSWIRE / July 28, 2022 / F & M Bank Corp. (OTCQX:FMBM), parent company (the Company) of Farmers & Merchants Bank today reported earnings for quarter ending June 30, 2022.
Mark Hanna, President, commented “ F&M Bank had earnings of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 which were driven by strong loan demand within our Shenandoah Valley Communities. Loans outstanding grew $32 million in the past quarter as we continue to build a solid pipeline of future opportunities. Given challenging economic and market conditions, we strive to maintain our disciplined approach to growth, pricing and underwriting. Our investment portfolio continues to contribute meaningfully to earnings and our deposits growth has leveled off with a slight decline during the quarter. While we did add $600 thousand to our provision for loan losses this quarter due to the loan growth and economic uncertainty, our core operating earnings are strong and growing. The strategic focus of developing our team, improving our infrastructure, and maintaining our asset quality while developing lasting relationships in our community continues to position F&M for future success.”
Selected financial highlights include:
- Net income of $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
- Total deposit decreases of $12 million (1.09%), increases of $20.0 million (1.84%) and increases of $144.9 million (15.16%), respectively for the quarter, year to date and for the trailing twelve months.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans held for investment, net of PPP has declined from 1.35% on June 30, 2021, to 1.12% on June 30, 2022. This decline has been driven by improved asset quality as evidenced by the decline in nonperforming assets and classified loans. Uncertainty in the economy related to the war in Ukraine, inflation, supply chain issues, increase in past due loans, growth in the portfolio over the trailing twelve months and the increase in interest rates were all factored in the allowance for loan loss calculation resulting in a provision for loan losses of $600 for the quarter and $150 for the year.

INCOME STATEMENT
Net Interest Income
Quarterly net interest income reflects growth of $1 million over first quarter and $1.3 million over June 30, 2021. This growth is attributed to the income produced by the investment portfolio that has continued to grow in the second quarter of 2022, increases in variable rate loan rates, growth in the loan portfolio and the lower cost of funds.
Margin compression has reduced the net interest margin from 3.12% on June 30, 2021, to 2.97% on June 30, 2022, however for the second consecutive quarter net interest margin increased from the December 31, 2021, margin of 2.82%. We are seeing the results of the Company’s efforts to mitigate compression by continuing to invest excess funds into securities with better yields and growth in the loan portfolio. The Company has also slightly reduced cost of funds since June 30, 2021, to 36 basis points through maintaining deposit rates and growth in noninterest bearing deposits.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income of $2.4 million for the quarter is slightly lower than first quarter ($2.5 million) and a decline from June 30, 2021, which was $3.0 million. Mortgage originations have declined as rates have increased. As a result, the Company is focused on expanding mortgage originators into our newer markets and offering variable rate products to our mortgage customers. The Company is also continuing to utilize our title company and growing our wealth management division.
Noninterest expense
Focusing on infrastructure enhancements, developing our team and expanding into our newer markets has resulted in growth in noninterest expense of 3.6% in the trailing twelve months.
Paycheck Protection Program
The Company processed 1,080 Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) & CARES Act loans during 2020 and 2021 totaling $87.1 million. Fees associated with these loans are amortized over the life of the loan or recognized fully when repaid or forgiven. The Company holds $671 thousand in PPP loans as of June 30, 2022, and recognized $54 thousand in PPP fee income in the second quarter.
Dividends Declaration
On July 21, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of $.26 per share to common shareholders. Based on our most recent trade price of $25.48 per share this constitutes a 4.08% yield on an annualized basis. The dividend will be paid on August 29, 2022, to shareholders of record as of August 14, 2022.”

- The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Tax equivalent interest income is calculated by grossing up interest income for the amounts that are nontaxable (i.e. municipal securities and loan income) then subtracting interest expense. The tax rate utilized is 21%. The Company’s net interest margin is a common measure used by the financial service industry to determine how profitable earning assets are funded. Because the Company earns nontaxable interest income from municipal loans and securities, net interest income for the ratio is calculated on a tax equivalent basis as described above.
- The efficiency ratio is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The efficiency ratio is a common measure used by the financial service industry to determine operating efficiency. It is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and non-interest income excluding gains and losses on the investments portfolio and Other Real Estate Owned. The Company calculates this ratio in order to evaluate how efficiently it utilizes its operating structure to create income. An increase in the ratio from period to period indicates the Company is losing a greater percentage of its income to expenses.
