KILMARNOCK, Va., Jan. 27, 2017
KILMARNOCK, Va., Jan. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Bay Banks of Virginia, Inc. (OTCQB: BAYK), holding company for Bank of Lancaster and Bay Trust Company, reported earnings of $571,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to a loss of $(590,000) for the same quarter in 2015. Earnings for the year 2016 were $2.5 million compared to $366,000 for the year 2015.
"It's been more than 10 years since earnings have been this high and that was before the great recession started. We also announced our merger with Virginia Commonwealth Bank in the fourth quarter, which, once consummated, will make us the fifth largest community bank headquartered in Richmond," said Randal R. Greene, President and Chief Executive Officer. He continued, "We are extremely proud of our team of professionals. To pull off a record year and prepare for a merger at the same time is incredible. The merger is moving forward as planned, with regulatory approvals in process and expected completion at the beginning of the second quarter of 2017."
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE YEAR
FOURTH QUARTER NET INCOME
The increase in net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 was driven by an increase in interest income of $322,000 while interest expense decreased by $12,000. The improved interest income was driven by growth in loan balances and improved yields on investment securities, which offset reductions in loan yields.
The increase in non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily the result of increased secondary market lending fees of $158,000, decreased losses on OREO of $115,000 and increased gains on the sale of securities of $107,000.
Non-interest expense totaled $4.4 million and $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Merger related expenses during the fourth quarter totaled approximately $575,000. The merger expenses were partially offset by a decrease of $106,000 in salaries and benefits expense, which was mainly driven by $132,000 of severance expense recognized in the fourth quarter of 2015.
YEAR-TO-DATE NET INCOME
The increase in net interest income for 2016 compared 2015 was driven by an increase in interest income of $1.7 million while interest expense increased by $491,000. The improvement in interest income was driven primarily by growth in loan balances and yields on investment securities, which partially offset the reduced yields on loans. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to growth of money market deposit accounts and the subordinated debt issued in May 2015.
The increase in non-interest income for 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily the result of a $393,000 increase in gains on the sale of investments, a $150,000 gain from the sale of the VISA loan portfolio to a third party, a $169,000 increase in fiduciary fees, decreased losses on foreclosed real estate of $268,000, and a $214,000 increase in secondary market lending fees.
The increase in non-interest expense for 2016 compared to 2015 was driven mainly by merger related expenses of approximately $588,000, which was partially offset by a $202,000 decrease in salaries and benefits expense, which in turn was mainly a result of severance expense of $143,000 recognized in 2015.
NET INTEREST MARGIN
ASSET QUALITY
Non-performing asset levels remain comparable to our peer banks. During 2016, non-performing assets, excluding troubled debt restructures (TDRs), decreased by $520,000 to $7.8 million, or 1.60% of total assets. Classified assets increased by $642,000 during the same period to $11.7 million, or 26.0% of tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses. Net loan charge-offs totaled $620,000 during 2016, or 0.17% of average total loans, compared to 0.18% during 2015. Favorably impacting net charge-offs was approximately $280,000 of recoveries related to the previously disclosed loan fraud perpetrated against the Bank.
BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL
During 2016, total assets increased by $30.4 million, or 6.7%, to $486.7 million. This was due to an increase of $37.9 million in the loan portfolio which was funded mainly by an increase of $21.9 million in deposits and a reduction of $7.8 million in interest-bearing deposits at other banks. The increase in deposits, plus an increase of $11.1 million in securities sold under repurchase agreements, allowed for a $5.0 million reduction in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Of the growth in total deposits, non-interest bearing deposits grew by $9.0 million and savings and interest-bearing demand deposits increased $12.2 million.
