Dean Withers, President and CEO, commented “We’re very pleased to announce both record quarterly earnings as well as record earnings through three quarters. Third quarter earnings increased 32.6% versus prior year, to $1.569 million and year to date earnings of $4.236 million increased 19.9%. The sharp increase in earnings is due primarily to a very strong net interest margin and an excellent efficiency ratio. The net interest margin improvement resulted from continued decreases in the cost of funds, reductions in low yielding fed funds and strong loan growth.” Withers continued, “Loans held for investment increased $28 million year to date with most of the growth derived from our Dealer Finance Division and our Fishersville Loan Production Office.”

Withers stated, “We continue our recent trend of improvement in our non-performing loans which have decreased $5.3 million (42.8%) compared to the same period in 2013 and now constitute 1.39% of loans held for investment, vs. 2.57% during the same period in 2013. We are ahead of pace to meet our 2014 goals for improvement in both our non-performing and criticized asset ratios” Withers continued, On October 16, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.17 per share. Based on our most recent trade price of $19.24 per share, this dividend constitutes a 3.53% yield on an annualized basis. The dividend will be paid on November 7, 2014, to shareholders of record as of October 31, 2014.” A summary balance sheet and income statement are included below.
