For Immediate Release
VILLAGE BANK AND TRUST FINANCIAL CORP.
REPORTS EARNINGS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2023
Midlothian, Virginia, October 26, 2023. Village Bank and Trust Financial Corp. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq symbol: VBFC), parent company of Village Bank (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited results for the third quarter of 2023. Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was ($2,553,000), or ($1.72) per fully diluted share, compared to net income for the third quarter of 2022 of $2,153,000, or $1.46 per fully diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net income was $226,000, or $0.15 per fully diluted share, compared to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, of $6,143,000, or $4.16 per fully diluted share.
During the quarter, the Company executed a securities repositioning and balance sheet deleveraging strategy by selling available for sale securities with a total book value of $55,195,000 and a weighted average yield of 1.48% at a pre-tax loss of $4,986,000. The net proceeds from the sale were used to reduce Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings by $15.0 million costing 5.57% and the remaining funds were reinvested back into the securities portfolio with a weighted average yield of 5.48%, with a duration of 3.4 years, and a weighted average life of 5.0 years. The transaction was structured to improve the forward run rate on earnings, add interest rate risk protection to a higher for longer and potential down rate environments, while improving tangible common equity and maintaining our strong liquidity position. The Company projects the transaction to be 19.5% accretive to earnings per share, 39 basis points accretive to net interest margin, 24 basis points accretive to return on assets, 217 basis points accretive to return on tangible common equity and 20 basis points accretive to tangible common equity to assets ratio, with a projected short earnback period of just over two and one half years.
Jay Hendricks, President and CEO, commented, “Our strong capital position put us in a position to prune and reposition our investment portfolio and to pay down FHLB borrowed funds. While these actions had a negative effect on the quarter, the go-forward impact on our margin and earnings is meaningful. The commercial bank continues to perform well with our core loans growing 1.81% and deposit levels generally holding steady during the quarter. While we anticipate continued pressure on our funding base, increasing earning asset yield, reduced borrowing cost, and disciplined management of our deposit mix and cost will help mitigate the headwinds to our net interest margin. We continue to take actions to improve our mortgage business segment’s performance. Our focus remains on core relationship growth, disciplined management of our funding mix and costs, navigating the weak mortgage environment and remaining vigilant on credit quality.”

Three months ended September 30, 2023 vs. three months ended September 30, 2022.
The Commercial Banking Segment posted a net loss of $2,326,000 for Q3 2023 compared to net income of $2,174,000 for Q3 2022.
The following are variances of note for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022:
● | Net interest margin (“NIM”) compressed by 24 basis points to 3.46% for Q3 2023 compared to 3.70% for Q3 2022. The compression was driven by the following: |
o | The yield on our earning assets increased by 85 basis points, 4.79% as of Q3 2023 compared to 3.94% as of Q3 2022. The increase in our yield on earning assets continues to be a result of improvement in our earning asset mix as well as the impact of the rise in interest rates during 2022 and 2023. We expect to see continued improvement in the yield on earning assets as a portion of our securities portfolio continues to mature over the next several quarters and those lower yielding assets are re-deployed in higher earning assets and as a result of the impact of the balance sheet repositioning completed during the quarter. |
o | The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 175 basis points to 2.16% for Q3 2023 compared to 0.41% for Q3 2022. The increase in our cost of interest bearing liabilities continues to be driven by an increase in the rate paid on variable rate debt and market pressures on deposit rates. The rate paid on money market deposit accounts increased 200 basis points to 2.22% for Q3 2023 compared to 0.22% for Q3 2022. We believe the $15.0 million decrease in FHLB borrowings during Q3 2023 will begin to have a significant impact on interest expense during Q4 2023 as those were paid off near the end of the period. We expect there will be continued pressure on our funding base and cost will remain elevated through 2024. |
o | While the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased by 175 basis points for Q3 2023 as compared to Q3 2022, overall cost of funds increased by 113 basis points, 1.37% for Q3 2023 vs. 0.24% for Q3 2022. The lower increase in cost of funds was driven by our strong non-interest bearing deposits level, which remains near 40% of our deposit base. |
● | On January 1, 2023, the Commercial Banking Segment adopted the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) methodology for estimating credit losses, which resulted in an increase of $150,000 in the |
2
allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on January 1, 2023. The Commercial Banking Segment did not record a provision for credit losses for Q3 2023 compared to a provision expense of $100,000 for Q3 2022. The lack of a provision for credit losses was driven by stable macroeconomic conditions, credit quality remaining strong, and the impact of $150,000 in net-recoveries for the period. While current economic challenges due to higher inflation and the speed at which interest rates have been rising remain a risk to credit quality, we believe our current level of allowance for credit losses is sufficient. |
● | The Commercial Banking Segment posted noninterest loss of $4,116,000 for Q3 2023 compared to income of $822,000 for Q3 2022. The reduction was primarily the result of the $4,986,000 of losses incurred on the sale of available for sale securities during the quarter which was the result of the balance sheet reposition strategy noted earlier. |
● | The Commercial Banking Segment posted noninterest expense of $4,890,000 for Q3 2023 compared to $4,499,000 for Q3 2022. The increase in noninterest expense was driven by increased staffing costs, data processing costs, costs associated with check fraud and the impact of rising inflation on our expense base. |
The Mortgage Banking Segment posted a net loss of $227,000 for Q3 2023 compared to a net loss of $21,000 for Q3 2022. Mortgage originations were $26,636,000 for Q3 2023, down 37.6% from $42,665,000 for Q3 2022. The drop in mortgage originations during Q3 2023 continues to be the result of the sharp rise in mortgage rates and the historically low inventory of homes for sale.
Nine months ended September 30, 2023 vs. nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The Commercial Banking Segment posted net income of $1,011,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $6,310,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The following are variances of note for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022:
● | NIM expanded by five basis points to 3.59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 3.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The expansion was driven by the following: |
o | The yield on our earning assets increased by 88 basis points, 4.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 3.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in our yield on earning assets continues to be a result of improvement in our earning asset mix as well as the impact of the rise in interest rates during 2022 and 2023. We expect to see continued improvement in the yield on earning assets as a portion of our securities portfolio continues to mature over the next several quarters and those lower yielding assets are re-deployed in higher earning assets and as a result of the impact of the balance sheet repositioning completed during the period. |
o | Total Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) income recorded by the Commercial Banking Segment was $8,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,054,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. |
o | The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased by 135 basis points to 1.76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 0.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in our cost of interest bearing liabilities was driven by an increase in the rate paid on variable rate debt and continued market pressures on deposit rates. Average |
3
borrowings increased by approximately $37.8 million, from the nine months ended September 30, 2022, with a weighted average cost of 4.72% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The rate paid on money market deposit accounts increased 148 basis points to 1.70% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 0.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. While we expect there will be continued pressure on our funding base, we anticipate the velocity of those increases to be lower going into 2024. The $15 million reduction in FHLB borrowings during the period should begin to have significant positive impact on interest expense moving forward. |
o | While the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased by 135 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, overall cost of funds increased by 87 basis points, 1.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 vs. 0.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The lower increase in cost of funds was driven by our strong non-interest bearing deposits level, which remained near 40% of our deposit base. |
● | The Commercial Banking Segment did not record a provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The lack of a provision for credit losses was driven by stable macroeconomic conditions, credit quality remaining strong, and the impact of $162,000 in net-recoveries for the period. The Commercial Banking Segment recorded a recovery of provision for loan loss expenses of $300,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The recovery of provision for loan loss expense resulted from reductions in the qualitative factors driven by improving economic factors and improved credit metrics. While current economic challenges due to higher inflation and the speed at which interest rates have been rising remain a risk to credit quality, we believe our current level of allowance for credit losses is sufficient. |
● | The Commercial Banking Segment posted noninterest loss of $2,415,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to income $2,510,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The reduction was primarily the result of the $4,986,000 losses incurred on the sale of available for sale securities during the period which was the result of the balance sheet reposition strategy noted earlier. |
● | The Commercial Banking Segment posted noninterest expense of $14,855,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $13,510,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in noninterest expense was driven by increased staffing costs, data processing costs, cost associated with check fraud and the impact of rising inflation on our expense base. |
The Mortgage Banking Segment posted a net loss of $785,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $167,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Mortgage originations were $90,429,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, down 34.9% from $138,928,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The drop in mortgage originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, continues to be the result of the sharp rise in mortgage rates and the historically low inventory of homes for sale.

● | The commercial loan portfolio, excluding PPP loans, grew by $474,000, or 0.11%, from Q2 2023 and increased by $4,139,000, or 0.98%, from Q3 2022. Growth in the portfolio was impacted by several large payoffs that occurred during the period, which carried below current market rates. These payoffs were supplemented by new originations at more attractive market rates. |
● | The consumer/residential loan portfolio grew by $10,482,000, or 9.84%, from Q2 2023 and increased by $24,489,000, or 26.47%, from Q3 2022. The growth was driven primarily by growth in 1-4 family residential first lien loans, which was primarily in adjustable-rate mortgages and home equity loans. |

Asset quality
On January 1, 2023, the Commercial Banking Segment adopted the CECL methodology for estimating credit losses, which resulted in an increase of $150,000 in the ACL on January 1, 2023 to $3.52 million. The ACL included an allowance for credit losses on loans of $3.24 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $277,000.
As of September 30, 2023, the ACL was $3.68 million and included an allowance for credit losses on loans of $3.35 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $329,000.
Asset quality remains strong, but we remain vigilant in monitoring our portfolio segments for impacts associated with higher rates and the slowing economy. The Bank’s period-end asset quality metrics continue to compare favorably to our peers as follows:

Total deposits decreased by $1,608,000, or 0.26%, from Q2 2023, and decreased by $41,045,000, or 6.15%, from Q3 2022. Variances of note are as follows:
● | Noninterest bearing demand account balances decreased $5,669,000 from Q2 2023 and decreased $35,878,000 from Q3 2022 and represented 38.83% of total deposits compared to 39.63% as of Q2 2023 and 41.82% as of Q3 2022. The decrease in noninterest bearing demand deposits was driven by a combination of consumers and businesses drawing down balances due to higher costs associated with continued pressure from inflation, as well as some movement into higher yielding accounts. |
6
● | Low-cost relationship deposits (i.e., interest checking, money market, and savings) balances increased $5,274,000, or 1.60%, from Q2 2023 and decreased $3,450,000, or 1.02%, from Q3 2022. The growth in low-cost relationship deposits from Q2 2023 was a result of core relationship growth as well as seasonal growth in customer accounts. The decrease in deposits from Q3 2022 was primarily driven by the same combination of factors as the noninterest bearing demand accounts. |
● | Time deposits decreased by $1,213,000, or 2.43%, from Q2 2023 and decreased by $1,717,000, or 3.40%, from Q3 2022. The reduction from Q2 2023, was the result of customer migration into money market demand accounts during the quarter, and the decrease in time deposits from Q3 2022, was primarily driven by our prior strategy to reduce reliance on higher cost non-relationship time deposits and the migration of customers from time deposits to money market demand accounts during that period. |
Capital
Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2023 was $63,685,000 compared to $58,372,000 at September 30, 2022, which resulted in a tangible common equity ratio of 8.75% and 7.86%, as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The $5,313,000 increase in shareholders’ equity during the twelve months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to the recognition of net income of $2,388,000, from September 30, 2022 to September 30, 2023, and the $3,508,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily the result of the balance sheet repositioning strategy which resulted in a realized pre-tax loss of approximately $4,986,000.
The Bank continues to maintain a strong, well-capitalized position. The following table presents the regulatory capital ratios for the Bank at the end of the periods indicated:
