Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc.’s (“Financial” or the “Company”) primary market area consists of the area commonly referred to as Region 2000 which encompasses the seven jurisdictions of the Town of Altavista, Amherst County, Appomattox County, the Town of Bedford, Bedford County, Campbell County, and the City of Lynchburg. Within the last several years, the Company expanded into Charlottesville, Roanoke, Blacksburg, Harrisonburg, Lexington, Rustburg, and Wytheville.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In management’s opinion the accompanying financial statements, which unless otherwise noted are unaudited, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Additional information concerning the organization and business of Financial, accounting policies followed, and other related information is contained in Financial’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in Financial’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. 

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACLL”).

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Application of the principles of GAAP and practices within the banking industry requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements may reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently rely more extensively on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such may have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

The Company’s significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 2 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are contained in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Held-to-Maturity Securities

The primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio are security type and credit rating, which are influenced by a number of factors including obligor cash flow, geography, seniority, among other factors. Currently, the Company’s held-to-maturity securities consist completely of securities covered by the explicit or implied guarantee of the United States government or one of its agencies.

Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company did not have an allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities as of June 30, 2024 or upon adoption of ASC 326.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (continued)

Allowance for Credit Losses - Available-for-Sale Securities

Management evaluates all available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, the security is written down to fair value and the entire loss is recorded in earnings.

If either of the above criteria is not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making the assessment, the Company may consider various factors including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, downgrades in the ratings of the security by a rating agency, the failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments and adverse conditions specific to the security. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and any deficiency is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any amount of unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit loss when management believes an available-for-sale security is confirmed to be uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. At June 30, 2024, there was no allowance for credit loss related to the available-for-sale portfolio.

As set forth under “Interest receivable” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities totaled approximately $1.16 million and $1.15 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The allowance for loan credit losses represents an amount which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb the lifetime expected losses that may be sustained on outstanding loans at the balance sheet date based on the evaluation of the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and prepayment experience. The allowance for loan credit losses is measured and recorded upon the initial recognition of a financial asset. The allowance for loan credit losses is reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries of previous losses, and is increased or decreased by a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses, which is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

With the exception of loans related to agriculture which uses the remaining life method, the Company is utilizing a discounted cash flow model to estimate its current expected credit losses. For the purposes of calculating its quantitative reserves, the Company has segmented its loan portfolio based on loans which share similar risk characteristics. Within the quantitative portion of the calculation, the Company utilizes at least one or a combination of loss drivers, which may include unemployment rates and/or gross domestic product (“GDP”), to adjust its loss rates over a reasonable and supportable forecast period of one year. A straight-line reversion technique is used for the following four quarters, at which time the Company reverts to historical averages. To further adjust the allowance for credit losses for expected losses not already included within the quantitative component of the calculation, the Company may consider qualitative factors, including but not limited to: variability in the economic forecast, changes in volume and severity of adversely classified loans, changes in concentrations of credit, changes in the nature and volume of the loan segments, factors related to credit administration, and other idiosyncratic risks not embedded in the data used in the model.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. The Company designates individually evaluated loans on nonaccrual status as collateral dependent loans, as well as other loans that management of the Company designates as having higher risk and loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the allowance for credit losses. Under CECL, for collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan’s collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (continued)

Allowance for Credit Losses – Unfunded Commitments

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodology as the loan portfolio, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well as any third-party guarantees. The allowance for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Accrued Interest Receivable

The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis in its determination of the allowance for credit losses for both loans and held-to-maturity securities, as well as elected the policy to write-off accrued interest receivable directly through the reversal of interest income. Accrued interest totaled approximately $1.74 million and $1.70 million on loans and $21 thousand and $16 thousand on held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is included in “Interest Receivable” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenue Recognition

All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 is recognized in non-interest income as presented in its consolidated statements of income. ASC 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant income, wealth management fees, and annuity and insurance commissions. For a more detailed discussion of noninterest revenue streams within the scope of ASC 606, see “Note 22 – Revenue Recognition” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises from business combinations and is generally determined as the excess of fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exists that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed.

Note 4 – Stock Based Compensation

Accounting standards require companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock, based on the fair value of those awards.

At the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 15, 2018, the shareholders approved the Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Incentive Plan”). The 2018 Incentive Plan permits the issuance of up to 250,000 shares of common stock (as may be adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, recapitalizations, and certain other transactions) for awards to key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards and performance units. The Company did not make any grants or awards under the 2018 Incentive Plan in either 2023 or the first six months of 2024. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 there were no grants or awards outstanding under the 2018 Incentive Plan.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements

Determination of Fair Value

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of FASB ASC, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market and in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in the principal or most advantageous market and in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Securities Available-for-Sale

Fair values of securities available-for sale are based on quoted prices available in an active market. If quoted prices are available, these securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow.

Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of the Company’s securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Derivatives Assets/Liabilities – Interest Rate Lock Commitments (IRLCs)

The Company recognizes IRLCs at fair value based on the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis while taking into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close. All of the Company’s IRLCs are classified as Level 3.

The below tables summarize the Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period.

Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Collateral Dependent Loans with an ACLL

In accordance with ASC 326, the Company may determine that an individual loan exhibits unique risk characteristics which differentiate it from other loans within our loan pools. In such cases, the loans are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. Specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses are determined by analyzing the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other things. A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when, based upon management’s assessment, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. In such cases, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date, adjusted for estimated selling costs if satisfaction of the loan depends on the sale of the collateral. The Company reevaluates the fair value of collateral supporting collateral dependent loans on a quarterly basis. The fair value of real estate collateral supporting collateral dependent loans is evaluated by appraisal services using a methodology that is consistent with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Because we had no collateral dependent loans with an ACLL, no nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on these loans during the period ended June 30, 2024.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are carried at cost which approximates estimated fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the Company records fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the period ended June 30, 2024. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within gains on sales of loans held for sale on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Real Estate Owned

Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value less cost to sell. The Company believes that the fair value component in its valuation follows the provisions of ASC 820.

Real estate acquired through foreclosure is transferred to OREO. The measurement of loss associated with OREO is based on the fair value of the collateral compared to the unpaid loan balance and anticipated costs to sell the property. The value of OREO property is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of Bank of the James (the “Bank”) using observable market data (Level 2).

14


Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and expensed against current earnings. However, in situations where the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction, the appraisal is more than 12 months old, management has determined the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, or the appraisal is not based solely on market comparables adjusted for observable inputs, the value is considered Level 3.

There was no OREO as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Because we had OREO, no nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded for OREO during the period ended June 30, 2024.

Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are presented in the following tables whether or not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company owned 124 securities in an unrealized loss position. Of the securities, 28 were S&P rated AAA, 84 were rated AA, three were rated A, three were rated BBB, and six were non-rated. As of June 30, 2024, 53 of these securities were municipal issues, 58 were backed directly or indirectly by the U.S. government, and 13 were issues of publicly traded domestic corporations. The Company monitors its municipal and corporate securities by periodically reviewing the issuer’s cash-flow and revenue streams, as well as other economic factors that could affect the issuer’s ability to service and/or repay the debt.

The Company has evaluated available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for credit related impairment at June 30, 2024 and concluded no impairment existed based on a combination of factors, which included: (1) the securities are of high credit quality (2) unrealized losses are primarily the result of market volatility and increases in market interest rates, (3) the contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of each investment, (4) issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and (5) the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, nor is it likely that management will be required to sell the securities. As such, there was not an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2024.

The Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio is covered by the explicit or implied guarantee of the United States government or one of its agencies and rated investment grade or higher. As a result, the Company did not have an allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

All held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities were current with no securities past due or on nonaccrual as of June 30, 2024.

Note 6 – Securities (continued)

Sales of available-for-sale securities were $8,754,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which resulted in a net gain of $40,000. There were no sales of available-for-sale securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $44,865,000 (book value) pledged as collateral for public deposits.

The amortized costs and fair values of securities at June 30, 2024, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Note 7 – Business Segments

The Company has three reportable business segments: (i) a traditional full-service community banking segment, (ii) a mortgage loan origination business, and (iii) a registered investment advisory business (sometimes referred to as the wealth management business). The community banking business segment includes Bank of the James which provides loans, deposits, investments and insurance to retail and commercial customers throughout Region 2000 and other areas within Central Virginia. The mortgage segment provides a variety of mortgage loan products principally within Region 2000. Mortgage loans are originated and sold in the secondary market through purchase commitments from investors with servicing released. Because of the pre-arranged purchase commitments, there is minimal risk to the Company. The investment advisory business offers investment advisory services through Financial’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pettyjohn, Wood & White, Inc.

All of the Company’s reportable segments are service-based. The mortgage business is a gain on sale business and the investment advisory business is fee for service based, while the Bank’s primary source of revenue is net interest income. The Bank also provides a referral network for the mortgage origination business and the investment advisory business. The mortgage business may also be in a position to refer its customers to the Bank for banking services when appropriate.

Information about reportable business segments and reconciliation of such information to the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the amendments within ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Accordingly, the Company’s financials results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented in accordance with ASC 326 while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported with legacy GAAP.

The Company’s primary portfolio segments align with the methodology applied in estimating the allowance for credit losses under CECL and are reflected as such in the disclosures as of and for the period ended June 30, 2024 as provided below. Management determined after the adoption of CECL that the classifications set forth below were appropriate for use in identifying and managing risk in the loan portfolio.

Loan Segments:

Loan Classes:

Commercial and Commercial Real Estate

Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, and may include a personal guarantee. Short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The characteristics of properties securing the Company's commercial real estate portfolio are diverse, but with geographic location almost entirely in the Company's market area. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. In general, the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate versus nonowner-occupied loans.

Consumer and Residential

Consumer and Residential consist of two segments - residential mortgage loans and personal loans. We include HELOCs and other second mortgages in in our consumer loan segment. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer personal loans are secured by consumer personal assets, such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer personal loans are unsecured, such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. For residential mortgage loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner-occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas, such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Bank’s internal risk rating system is in place to grade commercial and commercial real estate loans. Category ratings are reviewed periodically by lenders and the credit review area of the Bank based on the borrower’s individual situation. Additionally, internal and external monitoring and review of credits are conducted on an annual basis.

Below is a summary and definition of the Bank’s risk rating categories:

RATING 1

Excellent

RATING 2

Above Average

RATING 3

Satisfactory

RATING 4

Acceptable / Low Satisfactory

RATING 5

Monitor

RATING 6

Special Mention

RATING 7

Substandard

RATING 8

Doubtful

RATING 9

Loss

We segregate loans into the above categories based on the following criteria and we review the characteristics of each rating at least annually, generally during the first quarter. The characteristics of these ratings are as follows:

“Pass.” These are loans having risk ratings of 1 through 4. Pass loans are to persons or business entities with an acceptable financial condition, appropriate collateral margins, appropriate cash flow to service the existing loan, and an appropriate leverage ratio. The borrower has paid all obligations as agreed and it is expected that this type of payment history will continue. When necessary, acceptable personal guarantors support the loan.

“Monitor.” These are loans having a risk rating of 5. Monitor loans have currently acceptable risk but may have the potential for a specific defined weakness in the borrower’s operations and the borrower’s ability to generate positive cash flow on a sustained basis. The borrower’s recent payment history may currently or in the future be characterized by late payments. The Bank’s risk exposure is mitigated by collateral supporting the loan. The collateral is considered to be well-margined, well maintained, accessible and readily marketable.

“Special Mention.” These are loans having a risk rating of 6. Special Mention loans have weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the bank’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. These loans do warrant more than routine monitoring due to a weakness caused by adverse events.

“Substandard.” These are loans having a risk rating of 7. Substandard loans are considered to have specific and well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the viability of the Bank’s credit extension. The payment history for the loan has been inconsistent and the expected or projected primary repayment source may be inadequate to service the loan. The estimated net liquidation value of the collateral pledged and/or ability of the personal guarantor(s) to pay the loan may not adequately protect the Bank. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies associated with the loan are not corrected in the near term. A substandard loan would not automatically meet our definition of impaired unless the loan is significantly past due and the borrower’s performance and financial condition provides evidence that it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due.

“Doubtful.” These are loans having a risk rating of 8. Doubtful rated loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan that is classified substandard but with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high.

“Loss.” These are loans having a risk rating of 9. Loss rated loans are not considered collectible under normal circumstances and there is no realistic expectation for any future payment on the loan. Loss rated loans are fully charged off.

Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued)

Occasionally, the Bank modifies loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties by providing principal forgiveness, term extensions, interest rate reductions or payment deferrals. As the effect of most modifications is already included in the allowance for credit losses due to the measurement methodologies used in its estimate, the allowance for credit losses is typically not adjusted upon modification. When principal forgiveness is provided at modification, the amount forgiven is charged against the allowance for credit losses.

There were no loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, no previously modified loans have defaulted in the last twelve months.

ACL on Unfunded Commitments

The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for loan credit losses. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $589,000 at June 30, 2024, is separately classified within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents the balance and activity in the ACL for unfunded commitments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Other Real Estate Owned

We also classify other real estate owned (OREO) as a nonperforming asset. OREO represents real property owned by the Bank which was acquired through purchase at foreclosure or from the borrower through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. There were no OREO properties on June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The following table represents the changes in OREO balance during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate for which foreclosure was in process. The Company held no residential real estate properties in other real estate owned as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note 9 – Recent accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative”. This ASU incorporates certain U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective for any entity. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-03, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”. This ASU amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for SEC paragraphs pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022 EITF Meeting, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280—General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock. ASU 2023-03 is effective upon addition to the FASB Codification. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

To ensure the relief in Topic 848 covers the period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The ASU is effective for all entities upon issuance. The Company continues to assess the impact on the Company’s transition away from LIBOR for its loan and other financial instruments and has determined that there is minimal exposure.

In November 2023, the FASB amended the Segment Reporting topic in the Accounting Standards Codification to improve disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and provide more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.

33


Note 9 – Recent accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance (continued)

Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB amended the Income Taxes topic in the Accounting Standards Codification to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 10 - Subsequent Events

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date.

Management has reviewed events occurring through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and no other subsequent events occurred requiring accrual or that require disclosure and have not been disclosed in the footnotes to the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements made in this document and in any documents that are incorporated by reference which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements, including any statements regarding descriptions of management’s plans, objectives, or goals for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of its revenues, earnings, or other measures of performance. Forward-looking statements are based on current management expectations and, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements generally may be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “should,” “will,” “intend,” or similar expressions. Shareholders should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this document, could affect the future financial results of Financial and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained in this document. These factors, many of which are beyond Financial’s control, include, but are not necessarily limited to the following:

GENERAL

Critical Accounting Policies

Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc.’s (“Financial” or the “Company”) financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.

The allowance for credit losses (ACLL) is management’s estimate of the probable losses expected in our loan portfolio. With the exception of loans related to agriculture, the Company is utilizing a discounted cash flow model to estimate its current expected credit losses in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use in estimating risk. For information on the Company's policies on the ACLL please refer to Note 2 – “Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. See “Management Discussion and Analysis Results of Operations – Allowance and Provision for Credit losses” below for further discussion of the allowance for credit losses.

Goodwill arises from business combinations and is generally determined as the excess of fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed. The Company has selected September 1 of each year as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Impairment testing requires a qualitative assessment or that the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units be compared to the carrying amount of their net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an expense may be required to write down the related goodwill to record an impairment loss. Determining fair value is subjective, requiring the use of estimates, assumptions and management judgment. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, if any. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our consolidated balance sheet.

Overview

Financial is a bank holding company headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. Our primary business is retail banking which we conduct through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of the James (which we refer to as the “Bank”). We conduct four other business activities: mortgage banking through the Bank’s Mortgage Division (which we refer to as “Mortgage”), investment services through the Bank’s Investment division (which we refer to as “Investment Division”), insurance activities through BOTJ Insurance, Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, (which we refer to as “Insurance business”), and as of December 31, 2021, investment advisory services through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pettyjohn, Wood & White, Inc. (which we refer to as “PWW”).

The Bank is a Virginia banking corporation headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. The Bank was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as a state-chartered bank in 1998 and began banking operations in July 1999. The Bank was organized to engage in general retail and commercial banking business. The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution that provides varied banking services to individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, and professional concerns. Historically, our primary market area has been the Central Virginia, Region 2000 area, which encompasses the seven jurisdictions of the Town of Altavista, Amherst County, Appomattox County, the Town of Bedford, Bedford County, Campbell County, and the City of Lynchburg. Recently, the Bank has begun to expand to other areas in Virginia, specifically Roanoke, Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Blacksburg, Lexington and Rustburg. The Bank strives to provide its customers with products comparable to statewide regional banks located in its market area, while maintaining the prompt response time and level of service of a community bank. Management believes this operating strategy has particular appeal in the Bank’s market areas.

We conduct our investment advisory business through PWW, which Financial acquired on December 31, 2021. PWW is a Lynchburg, Virginia-based investment advisory firm that has approximately $789 million in assets under management and advisement as of June 30, 2024. PWW generates revenue primarily through investment advisory fees.

The Bank’s principal office is located at 828 Main Street, Lynchburg, Virginia 24504 and its telephone number is (434) 846-2000. The Bank also maintains a website at www.bankofthejames.bank.

Our operating results depend primarily upon the Bank’s net interest income, which is determined by the difference between (i) interest and dividend income on earning assets, which consist primarily of loans, investment securities and other investments, and (ii) interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist principally of deposits and other borrowings.

36


The Bank’s net income also is affected by its provision for credit losses, as well as the level of its noninterest income, including gains on sales of loans held for sale and service charges, and investment advisory fees, and its noninterest expenses, including salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, data processing expenses, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums, expense in complying with regulatory requirements, miscellaneous other expenses, franchise taxes, and income taxes.

The Bank intends to enhance its profitability by increasing its market share in our service areas, providing additional services to its customers, and controlling costs.

The Bank services its banking customers through the following locations in Virginia:

The Bank continuously evaluates areas located within our service areas to identify additional viable branch locations. Based on this ongoing evaluation, the Bank may acquire one or more additional suitable sites.

Subject to regulatory approval, the Bank may open additional branches during the next two fiscal years. Although numerous factors could influence the Bank’s expansion plans, the following discussion provides a general overview of the additional branch locations that the Bank currently is considering, including the following properties that we own and are holding for expansion.

37


The Bank owns the following property that will house a permanent branch in Nellysford, Virginia in 2025:

Real Property located at 2935 Rockfish Valley Highway, Nellysford, Virginia. On September 18, 2023, the Bank purchased real property located at 2935 Rockfish Valley Highway, Nellysford, Virginia. The building on the property previously served as a bank branch for another financial institution. The Bank anticipates that the cost to upfit the building will be minimal. The property is subject to a restrictive covenant that prohibits the Bank from using the property for any banking-related activity until the covenant expires in September 2025. We anticipate that we will relocate the Temporary Nellysford Branch to this location in the fall of 2025.

In addition to the facilities set forth above, the Bank owns the following properties which are being held for possible expansion:

Real property located in the Timberlake Road area of Campbell County (Lynchburg), Virginia. The structure on Timberlake property was not suitable for its intended use as a branch bank and the Bank removed the structure. The Bank estimates that the cost of improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment necessary to construct and upfit a branch at this location could be between $900,000 and $1,500,000.

Real property located at 1925 Atherholt Road, Lynchburg, Virginia. On December 31, 2021, the Bank purchased real property located at 1925 Atherholt Road, Lynchburg, Virginia. The building currently serves as the offices for Financial’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PWW. PWW is currently leasing the space from the Bank on a month-to-month basis. While the Bank currently does not have a timeline for a branch at this location, the space is attractive for a branch due to its close proximity to Centra’s Lynchburg General Hospital. The investment needed to upfit the property will be minimal.

Although the Bank cannot predict with certainty the financial impact of each new branch, management generally anticipates that each new branch will become profitable within 12 to 18 months of operation.

The Bank continues to evaluate suitable branch locations and may acquire one or more properties for expansion in the next 12 months. Future branch openings are subject to regulatory approval.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Bank is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets and could impact the overall liquidity and capital resources to the extent customers accept and/or use these commitments.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. A summary of the Bank’s commitments is as follows:

June 30, 2024

December 31, 2023

(in thousands)

Commitments to extend credit

Letters of Credit

3,679

2,636

Total

$                 178,905

$                 175,784

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on the Bank’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

38


The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on the Bank’s credit evaluation of the customer.

The Bank has rate lock commitments to originate mortgage loans through its Mortgage Division. The Bank has entered into corresponding commitments with third party investors to sell each of these loans that close. No other obligation exists. As a result of these contractual relationships with these investors, the Bank is not exposed to losses nor will it ultimately realize gains related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion represents management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition of Financial as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the results of operations of Financial for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included elsewhere herein.

All financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Financial Condition Summary

June 30, 2024 as Compared to December 31, 2023

Total assets were $978,011,000 on June 30, 2024 compared with $969,371,000 at December 31, 2023, an increase of 0.89%. The increase in total assets was primarily due to increases in loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, loans held for sale, and the cash value of bank-owned life insurance. The increase was offset in part by a decrease in the value of securities available-for-sale.

Total deposits increased from $878,459,000 as of December 31, 2023 to $884,902,000 on June 30, 2024, an increase of 0.73%. The increase resulted in large part from increases in noninterest-bearing demand and time deposits and was offset in part by a decrease in NOW, money market and savings deposits. The increase in time deposits generally was driven by our customers’ decisions to lock in higher rates.

Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased to $623,039,000 on June 30, 2024 from $609,333,000 on December 31, 2023. The increase was due primarily to an increase in commercial real estate loans and was offset in part by payoffs and normal amortization of loans. Loans, excluding loans held for sale and net of deferred fees and costs and including the allowance for credit losses, increased to $616,088,000 on June 30, 2024 from $601,921,000 on December 31, 2023, an increase of 2.35%. The following summarizes the position of the Bank’s loan portfolio as of the dates indicated by dollar amount and percentages (dollar amounts in thousands):

The subsegments of the loan portfolio of the segments shown above are set forth in Note 8.

The Bank closely monitors concentrations within its commercial real estate loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2024, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaled $184.0 million, or 29.5% of total loans. The Bank has minimal exposure to loans secured by large office buildings or shopping centers, which comprise less than 5% of the non-owner occupied commercial real estate portfolio. The majority of the Bank's non-owner occupied commercial loans are secured by smaller, multi-tenant properties diversified across various industries and geographies within our market areas. We have not seen an increase in delinquencies in loans secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate. We typically solicit and obtain current financial information, including, where appropriate, rent rolls, for the loans in our non-owner occupied commercial real estate portfolio.

Total nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, and OREO increased to $797,000 on June 30, 2024 from $391,000 on December 31, 2023. Because we had no OREO on either June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023, the nonperforming assets consist entirely of nonperforming loans.

As discussed in more detail below under “Results of Operations—Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses,” management has provided for any anticipated losses on these loans in the allowance for credit losses. Loan payments received on nonaccrual loans are first applied to principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status there are several negative implications. First, all interest accrued but unpaid at the time of the classification is reversed and deducted from the interest income totals for the Bank. Second, accruals of interest are discontinued until it becomes certain that both principal and interest can be repaid. Third, there may be actual losses that necessitate additional provisions for credit losses charged against earnings.

OREO represents real property acquired by the Bank for debts previously contracted, including through foreclosure or deeds in lieu of foreclosure. We had no OREO on June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Bank neither acquired nor disposed of any OREO during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. As a result, the OREO balance remained $0.

Cash and cash equivalents remained relatively constant, decreasing slightly to $74,627,000 on June 30, 2024 from $74,838,000 on December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash due from correspondents, cash in vault, and overnight investments (including Federal funds sold). Cash and cash equivalents are subject to routine fluctuations in deposits, including fluctuations in transactional accounts and professional settlement accounts.

Securities held-to-maturity were essentially flat, decreasing slightly to $3,614,000 on June 30, 2024 from $3,622,000 on December 31, 2023. This decrease is a result of normal net amortization of premiums within the held-to-maturity portfolio.

Securities available-for-sale, which are carried on the balance sheet at fair market value, decreased to $206,177,000 on June 30, 2024, from $216,510,000 on December 31, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Bank purchased $12,011,000 in available-for-sale securities. During the same period the Bank sold $8,754,000 and received $11,131,000 in proceeds from calls, maturities, and paydowns of securities available-for-sale. The market value of the securities available-for-sale decreased slightly. As of June 30, 2024, we have an unrealized tax-effected loss of $23,373,000 (or $29,587,000 prior to the tax benefit). Financial does not expect to realize the losses as it has the intent and ability to hold the securities until their recovery, which may be at maturity.

Financial’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBA) stock totaled $672,000 at June 30, 2024 as compared to $643,000 at December 31, 2023. FHLBA stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment and because there is no market for the stock other than other Federal Home Loan Banks or member institutions, FHLBA stock is viewed as a restricted security. Therefore, when evaluating FHLBA stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.

Liquidity and Capital

At June 30, 2024, Financial, on a consolidated basis, had liquid assets of $280,804,000 in the form of cash, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits with banks, and available-for-sale investments. The Bank has pledged (market values):

approximately $37,000,000 of our available-for-sale securities as collateral with correspondent banks, including the FHLBA, for collateralized lines of credit;

approximately $40,000,000 of our available-for-sale securities as security for public deposits; and

approximately $29,000,000 of our available-for-sale securities as collateral for advances at the Federal Reserve Bank’s discount window.

40


Further, if additional liquidity is needed, the Bank has the ability to purchase up to $53,000,000 of Fed funds through the Bank’s correspondent relationships and borrow from the FHLBA using investments within the Bank’s portfolio as collateral. In addition to the above, the Bank has borrowing capacity with the FHLBA of approximately $20,000,000 related to loans it has pledged to the FHLBA.

As of June 30, 2024, the Bank has no borrowings from any of these sources. Immediately following the failure of Silicon Valley Bank in the spring of 2023, out of an abundance of caution the Bank borrowed $14,000,000 from the FHLBA to test its contingency funding plan. Approximately two weeks later, the Bank repaid the advance. During the first six months of 2024, the Bank did not experience any unusual inflows or outflows of deposits.

Management believes that liquid assets were adequate at June 30, 2024. Management anticipates that additional liquidity will be provided by the growth in deposit accounts and loan repayments from customers.

While we have not experienced any unusual pressure on our deposit balances or our liquidity position, management continues to closely monitor our sources and uses of funds in order to meet our cash flow requirements while attempting to maximize profits. The Company’s total uninsured deposits, which are the amount of deposits, subject to the aggregation rules, that exceed the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000) were approximately $255,000,000, approximately 29% of our total deposits, at June 30, 2024. These amounts were estimated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes.

At June 30, 2024, the Bank had a leverage ratio of approximately 9.51%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a CET1 ratio of approximately 12.45% and a total risk-based capital ratio of approximately 13.38%. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank’s regulatory capital levels exceeded those established for well-capitalized institutions. The following table sets forth the minimum capital requirements and the Bank’s capital position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The above tables set forth the capital position and analysis for the Bank only. Because total assets on a consolidated basis are less than $3,000,000,000, Financial is not subject to the consolidated capital requirements imposed by the Bank Holding Company Act. Consequently, Financial does not calculate its financial ratios on a consolidated basis. If calculated, the capital ratios for the Company on a consolidated basis at June 30, 2024 would be lower than those of the Bank because a portion of proceeds from the sale of notes previously issued by the holding company were contributed to the Bank as equity.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board approved a final rule establishing a regulatory capital framework for smaller, less complex financial institutions. The rule was fully implemented on January 1, 2019 and implemented a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. As a result, the Bank is required to have a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets of 4.00% (exclusive of the capital conservation buffer), a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 7.0% (inclusive of the capital conservation buffer), and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.5% (inclusive of the capital conservation buffer). Failure to maintain the capital conservation buffer will limit the ability of the Bank and Financial to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. The rule also raised the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking organizations.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Earnings Summary

Financial had net income including all operating segments of $2,148,000 and $4,335,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $2,534,000 and $4,518,000 for the comparable periods in 2023. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were $0.47 and $0.95, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.56 and $0.99 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

The decrease in net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year periods was due primarily to an increase in interest expense of $1,606,000 and $3,709,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 from the comparable periods in 2024. The decrease was offset in part by increase in interest income and noninterest income.

These operating results represent an annualized return on average stockholders’ equity of 14.35% and 14.52% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, compared with 19.65% and 18.00% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 from the same periods in 2023 was due to the decrease in net income and an increase in average equity, which resulted from an increase in retained earnings. The Company had an annualized return on average assets of 0.87% and 0.89% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 compared with 1.08% and 0.97% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023. The decreases largely resulted from a decrease in net income and an increase in average assets.

See “Noninterest Income” below for mortgage business and wealth management segment discussions.

Interest Income, Interest Expense, and Net Interest Income

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, interest income increased to $10,935,000 and $21,444,000 from $9,583,000 and $18,681,000 for the same periods in 2023, primarily to an increase in interest rates received on our interest-earning assets. The average rate on loans was 5.42% and 5.35% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 4.99% and 4.92% for the same periods in 2023. The rate on total average earning assets increased to 4.68% and 4.62% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 because of a general increase in market rates and because the loans that we originated in the last six to twelve months had rates significantly higher than the rates referenced above.

Interest expense increased significantly to $3,844,000 and $7,403,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 from $2,238,000 and $3,694,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase for the three and six months resulted primarily from an increase in deposit balances and an increase in interest rates paid on deposits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company’s average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 1.94% and 1.88% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 1.15% and 0.93% for the same periods in 2023. The Company’s average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.99% and 1.93% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 1.22% and 1.02% for the same periods in 2023.

The fundamental source of the Bank’s net revenue is net interest income, which is determined by the difference between (i) interest and dividend income on interest-earning assets, which consist primarily of loans, investment securities and other investments, and (ii) interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist principally of deposits and other borrowings. Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $7,091,000 and $14,041,000 as compared to $7,345,000 and $14,987,000 for the same periods in 2023. The net interest margin was 3.03% and 3.02% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 3.30% and 3.40% for the comparable periods in 2023. The decreases for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, were in large part due to interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities increasing more rapidly than the rates received on interest-earning assets during each of the first two quarters of the year. This was exacerbated by a change in deposit mix, with the balance of time deposits, which generally pay a higher rate than demand deposits, increasing year over year while the average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits decreased over the same period. To combat inflation, the FOMC implemented a series of interest rate increases. These increases negatively impacted our net interest margin and the current interest rate environment is likely to continue to cause long-term uncertainty. Other financial impacts could occur, though such potential impacts are unknown at this time. While management does not anticipate it will be necessary to raise deposit rates, if we need to continue to raise deposit rates, there likely would be an adverse impact on our margin and profitability. A stabilizing interest rate environment is likely to allow us to increase our net interest margin. However, markets expect that the FOMC will cut the Fed funds by September 2024. In the event of rapid rate decreases, in the short term our net interest margin could come under pressure as the Bank is currently asset sensitive.

Financial’s net interest margin analysis and average balance sheets are shown in Schedule I below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income is comprised primarily of fees and charges on transactional deposit accounts, gains on sales of mortgage loans held for sale, commissions on sales of investments, fees generated from treasury management services, fees generated from our investment advisory business, and bank-owned life insurance income.

Noninterest income increased to $4,191,000 and $7,498,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 from $3,444,000 and $6,488,000 for same periods in 2023. While all noninterest income categories showed increases, the overall increases primarily were due to increases in wealth management fees, life insurance income, and income received from an investment in a Small Business Investment Company, which is reflected in other income.

The Bank, through its Mortgage division, originates both conforming and non-conforming consumer residential mortgage loans in the markets we serve. As part of the Bank’s overall risk management strategy, all of the loans originated and closed by the Mortgage division are presold to major national mortgage banking or financial institutions. The Mortgage division assumes, except in limited circumstances such as first payment default, no credit or interest rate risk on these mortgages.

Purchase mortgage originations totaled $47,203,000 and $78,218,000 or 87.15% and 86.28% respectively, of the total mortgage loans originated in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $40,549,000 and $67,417,000 or 82.02% and 82.12%, respectively, of the total mortgage loans originated in the same period in 2023. Because of a relatively higher mortgage interest rate environment, management anticipates that in the short-term purchase mortgage originations will continue to represent a significant percentage of mortgage originations. Management also believes that a continued increase in long-term market interest rates could limit refinancing activity.

Mortgage rates increased dramatically in 2022 and 2023 and remain elevated compared to recent history. These increases continue to have a negative impact on mortgage origination volume. Because of the uncertainty surrounding current and near-term economic conditions arising from inflation and geopolitical and economic concerns, management cannot predict future mortgage rates. Management also believes that the relatively high interest rates could cause revenue from the mortgage segment to remain under additional pressure.

Our Investment division provides brokerage services through an agreement with a third-party broker-dealer. Pursuant to this arrangement, the third-party broker-dealer operates a service center adjacent to one of the branches of the Bank. The center is staffed by two dual employees of the Bank and the broker-dealer. Investment receives commissions on transactions generated and, in some cases, ongoing management fees such as mutual fund 12b-1 fees. The Investment division’s financial impact on our consolidated revenue has been minimal. Although management cannot predict the financial impact of Investment with certainty, management anticipates the Investment division’s revenue as a percentage of our overall noninterest will remain minimal in 2024.

We conduct our investment advisory business through PWW, which Financial acquired on December 31, 2021. PWW is a Lynchburg, Virginia-based investment advisory firm that has approximately $789 million in assets under management and advisement as of June 30, 2024. PWW operates as a subsidiary of Financial. PWW generates revenue primarily through investment advisory fees. The investment advisory fees will vary based on the value of assets under management. Assets under management may fluctuate due to both client action and fluctuations in the equity and debt markets. Despite the potential for fluctuation, we anticipate that PWW will continue to contribute meaningfully to the Company’s consolidated net income.

The Bank provides insurance and annuity products to Bank customers and others, through the Bank’s Insurance subsidiary. The Bank has three employees that are licensed to sell insurance products through Insurance. Insurance generates minimal revenue and its financial impact on our consolidated revenue has been immaterial. Management anticipates that Insurance’s impact on noninterest income will remain immaterial for the remainder of 2024.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased to $8,739,000 and $16,827,000 from $7,876,000 and $15,951,000 for the same periods in 2023, increases of 10.96% and 5.49%, respectively. These increases resulted primarily from increases in salaries and employee benefits and to a lesser extent in the six month period, professional, data processing and other outside expenses. Other expenses increased because we had a recovery in 2023 related to a previous fraud loss, which had the effect of reducing other expense for both the three and six month periods in 2023. Total personnel expense was $4,892,000 and $9,337,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $4,345,000 and $8,613,000 for the same periods in 2023. Personnel expense increased largely because of increases in salaries, compensation related accruals, and additional personnel hired in connection with the opening of new branches.

Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses expected in the loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses increases the allowance, and loans charged-off, net of recoveries, reduce the allowance. The provision for the allowance for credit losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management. As discussed below, loans having a risk rating of 7 or below that are significantly past due, and loans with borrowers whose performance and financial condition provide evidence that it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts when due, are evaluated for specific impairment. The general reserve component is based on an evaluation of general economic conditions, actual and expected credit losses, and loan performance measures. Based on the application of the credit loss calculation, the Bank recovered $123,000 and $676,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared with a recovery of $254,000 and $114,000 for the same periods in 2023. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, the recovery attributable to unfunded commitments was $76,000 and $56,000, respectively, and was not included in the allowance. Despite an increase in loan balances, the amount of additional provision otherwise needed to reflect loan growth was offset in part by recoveries of approximately $149,000. In addition, the recovery in both periods was driven by the continuing evaluation of risks inherent within the loan portfolio required by CECL.

A June 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses was 1.12% of total loans outstanding, versus 1.22% and 1.23% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The allowance for credit losses for individually evaluated loans was $0 at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As shown in Note 8, the total balance in the allowance decreased, from $7,412,000 as of December 31, 2023 to $6,951,000 as of June 30, 2024.

Charged-off loans, which are loans that management deems uncollectible, are charged against the allowance for credit losses and constitute a realized loss. We had charged-off loans of $19,000 and $84,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $19,000 and $52,000 for the same periods in 2023. While a charged-off loan may subsequently be collected, such recoveries generally are realized over an extended period of time. We had recoveries of $149,000 and $223,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 as compared to a recoveries of $88,000 and $192,000 for the same periods in 2023.

If indicated by Bank policy, certain nonaccrual loans are individually analyzed for impairment. The principal balance on our nonaccrual loans totaled $797,000 and $391,000 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. If interest on these loans had been accrued, such income cumulatively would have approximated $50,000 and $37,000 on June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Loan payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status there are several negative implications. First, all interest accrued but unpaid at the time of the classification is deducted from the interest income totals for the Bank. Second, accruals of interest are discontinued until it becomes certain that both principal and interest can be repaid. Third, there may be actual losses that necessitate additional provisions for credit losses charged against earnings.

Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Financial had an income tax expense of $518,000 and $1,053,000 as compared to $633,000 and $1,120,000 for the same periods in 2023. This represents an effective tax rate of 19.43% and 19.54% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared with 19.99% and 19.87% for the three and six months ended June30, 2023. Our effective rate was lower than the statutory corporate tax rate in all periods primarily because of federal income tax benefits resulting from the tax treatment of earnings on bank owned life insurance, and interest earned on tax free municipal bonds.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Financial’s management, including Financial’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, Financial’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that Financial files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no significant changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or in other factors that could have significantly affected those controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting.
