HAMPTON, Va., Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Old Point Financial Corporation (the Company or Old Point) (NASDAQ "OPOF") reported net income of $2.5 million and earnings per diluted common share of $0.51 for the third quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $1.9 million and earnings per diluted common share of $0.36 for the third quarter of 2021. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $6.5 million, or $1.27 earnings per diluted common share, and $6.8 million, or $1.29 earnings per diluted common share, respectively.
Robert Shuford, Jr., Chairman, President and CEO of the Company and Old Point National Bank (the Bank) said, "Old Point delivered solid core results in the third quarter with 12% growth in net interest income and a 40 basis point expansion of net interest margin on a linked quarter basis. As a result of our strategy to grow talent in lending, net loan growth during 2022 of $130 million, or 15.8%, is well diversified across loan segments. As the fourth quarter of 2022 progresses, we will continue to focus on targeted balance sheet growth that optimizes income generation, growing our deposit base while managing cost of funding, controlling non-interest expenses, and maintaining strong asset quality and capital levels."
Highlights of the third quarter and first nine months are as follows:
Net interest margin (NIM) improved to 3.75% in the third quarter of 2022, increasing from 3.36% in the second quarter of 2022 and 3.24% in the third quarter of 2021. NIM on a fully tax-equivalent basis (FTE) (non-GAAP) improved to 3.78% in the third quarter of 2022 from 3.38% in the linked quarter and 3.26% in the third quarter of 2021.
Return on average equity (ROE) increased to 9.9% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 7.2% for the previous quarter, and 6.2% for the prior year quarter.
Net interest income was $11.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, increasing $1.3 million, or 12.1%, from $10.3 million for the prior quarter and $1.7 million, or 17.2%, from $9.9 million for the third quarter of 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net interest income was $31.5 million and $29.1 million, respectively.
Net PPP fees of $77 thousand were recognized in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $213 thousand in the second quarter of 2022 and $713 thousand in the third quarter of 2021. Net PPP fees recognized for the first nine months of 2022 were $698 thousand down from $2.7 million for the comparative 2021 period.
Provision for loan losses of $402 thousand was recognized for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $570 thousand for the second quarter of 2022 and $360 thousand for the third quarter of 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the provision for loan losses was $1.1 million and $510 thousand, respectively.

Balance Sheet and Asset Quality
Total assets of $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2022 decreased by $21.1 million from December 31, 2021. Net loans held for investment increased $111.5 million, or 13.4% from December 31, 2021 to $945.1 million at September 30, 2022. Loans held for investment, excluding PPP, (non-GAAP) grew 15.8%, or $129.9 million, from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 driven by loan growth in the following segments: commercial real estate of $27.2 million, construction, land development, and other land loans of $9.7 million, residential real estate of $50.2 million, and indirect automobile of $42.9 million. Securities available-for-sale, at fair value, decreased $6.8 million from December 31, 2021 to $227.5 million at September 30, 2022.
Total deposits of $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2022 increased $5.2 million, or 0.4%, from December 31, 2021. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $15.7 million, or 3.7%, savings deposits increased $5.8 million, or 1.0%, and time deposits decreased $16.3 million, or 9.6%.
The Company's total stockholders' equity at September 30, 2022 decreased $27.3 million, or 22.6%, from December 31, 2021 to $93.5 million. The decrease was related to unrealized losses in the market value of securities available-for-sale, which are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, and the repurchase of 268,095 shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.7 million during the first nine months of 2022, under the Company's share repurchase program authorized in October 2021. The decline in market value for the securities available-for-sale during the first nine months of 2022 was a result of rising market interest rates. The Company does not expect these unrealized losses to affect the earnings or regulatory capital of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Bank remains well capitalized with a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 12.21% at September 30, 2022 as compared to 12.57% at December 31, 2021. The Bank's leverage ratio was 9.45% at September 30, 2022 as compared to 9.09% at December 31, 2021.
NPAs totaled $4.7 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $4.6 million as of June 30, 2022 and $1.4 million at September 30, 2021. NPAs as a percentage of total assets was 0.36% at September 30, 2022, compared to 0.35% at June 30, 2022 and 0.10% at September 30, 2021. Non-accrual loans were $4.4 million at September 30, 2022, an increase from $4.1 million at June 30, 2022 and $424 thousand at September 30, 2021. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest decreased $235 thousand to $330 thousand at September 30, 2022 from $565 thousand at June 30, 2022 and $607 thousand from $937 thousand at September 30, 2021.
The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $402 thousand during the third quarter of 2022 compared to $570 thousand during the second quarter of 2022 and $360 thousand during the third quarter of 2021. The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) was $9.9 million at both September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 compared to $9.7 million at September 30, 2021. The ALLL as a percentage of loans held for investment was 1.04% at September 30, 2022 compared to 1.08% at June 30, 2022 and 1.15% at September 30, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, the ALLL as a percentage of loans held for investment (non-GAAP) was 1.04% at September 30, 2022, 1.09% at June 30, 2022, and 1.20% at September 30, 2021. The decrease in the ALLL as a percentage of loans held for investment at September 30, 2022 compared to the linked quarter was primarily attributable to: (i) an increase in loans held for investment, excluding PPP loans (non-GAAP); partially offset by (ii) continued improvement in historical qualitative loss rates; and (iii) a reduction of certain qualitative factor adjustments related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarterly annualized net charge offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding was 0.16% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 0.09% for the second quarter of 2022 and 0.07% for the third quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2022, asset quality remains very strong with no significant changes in the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio. Management believes the level of the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb losses in the loan portfolio; however, if elevated levels of risk are identified such as further challenges to economic conditions in our markets, including due to the impacts of inflation, or loan performance deterioration that could result in elevated delinquencies or net charge-offs, provision for loan losses may increase in future periods.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2022 was $11.6 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 12.1%, from the prior quarter and $1.7 million, or 17.2%, from the third quarter of 2021. The increase from the prior-year comparative quarter was due primarily to deployment of lower yielding cash to fund growth in higher yielding loans and investments, and higher average yields on higher earning asset balances due to the effect of rising market interest rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net interest income was $31.5 million and $29.1 million, respectively. The increase from the prior-year comparative period was due to higher average earning assets at higher average earning yields, despite the lower volume during 2022 of accelerated recognition of net deferred fees related to PPP forgiveness, combined with higher average interest-bearing liabilities at lower average rates.
The Net Interest Margin (NIM) for the third quarter of 2022 was 3.75%, an increase from 3.36% for the linked quarter and 3.24% for the prior year quarter. On a fully tax-equivalent basis (FTE) (non-GAAP), NIM was 3.78% for the third quarter of 2022, up from 3.38% for the second quarter of 2022 and 3.26% for the third quarter of 2021. Average loans increased $99.7 million, or 11.9%, and $58.0 million, or 7.0%, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021. Average loan yields were lower in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021, respectively, due primarily to lower accelerated recognition of deferred fees and costs related to PPP forgiveness partially offset by the effects of rising interest rates during 2022. Loan fees and costs related to PPP loans were deferred at time of loan origination, amortized into interest income over the remaining term of the loans and are accelerated upon forgiveness or repayment of the PPP loans. Net PPP fees of $77 thousand were recognized in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $213 thousand in the linked quarter and $713 thousand in the prior year quarter. Net PPP fees recognized for the first nine months of 2022 were $698 thousand, down from $2.7 million for the comparative 2021 period. As of September 30, 2022, unrecognized net PPP fees were $5 thousand. Year-over-year NIM was also impacted subordinated debt interest expense related to timing of issuance in 2021. During the first nine months of 2022, market interest rates increased, and the Company is asset sensitive at September 30, 2022 and believes the balance sheet is positively positioned for a rising interest rate environment; however, the extent to which rising interest rates will ultimately affect the Company's NIM is uncertain. For more information about these FTE financial measures, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures," below.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income was $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2021. Increases during the third quarter of 2022 in service charges on deposit accounts and bank-owned life insurance were offset by decreases in fiduciary and asset management fees, mortgage banking income, and other operating income compared to the linked quarter. Although service charges on deposit accounts, other service charges, commissions and fees, bank-owned life insurance, and other operating income increased compared to the prior year quarter, these increases were offset by lower fiduciary and asset management fees and mortgage banking income, resulting in a decrease of $241 thousand in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2022 when compared to the prior year quarter. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $898 thousand to $10.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, driven primarily by the decrease in mortgage banking income. The decrease in mortgage banking income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to the respective 2021 periods was due to declines in volume of mortgage originations attributable to changes in mortgage market conditions.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $11.6 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $11.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $10.9 million for the third quarter of 2021. The linked quarter increase of $475 thousand was primarily related to increases in salary and benefits and other operating expense. The increase over the prior year quarter was primarily driven by increased salary and benefit expense, employee professional development related to recruiting, and other operating expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, noninterest expense increased $1.3 million, or 4.2% over the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to increases in salary and benefits, and employee professional development related to recruiting. The increase in salary and benefits was primarily driven by lower deferred loan costs. The Company is in the final phase of assessing major vendor contracts and relationships as a key component of efforts to reduce noninterest expense levels while improving operational efficiency.
Capital Management and Dividends
For the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company declared dividends of $0.13 per share. The dividend represents a payout ratio of 25.7% of earnings per share for the third quarter of 2022. The Board of Directors of the Company continually reviews the amount of cash dividends per share and the resulting dividend payout ratio in light of changes in economic conditions, current and future capital requirements, and expected future earnings.
Total equity decreased $27.3 million at September 30, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021, due primarily to unrealized losses in the market value of securities available-for-sale, which are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and the repurchase of shares under the Company's share repurchase program, partially offset by net income. The Company's securities available-for-sale are fixed income debt securities, and their decline in market value during the first nine months of 2022 was a result of increases in market interest rates. The Company expects to recover its investments in debt securities through scheduled payments of principal and interest and unrealized losses are not expected to affect the earnings or regulatory capital of the Company or its subsidiaries.
The Company has a share repurchase program which was authorized by the Board of Directors in October 2021 to repurchase up to 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock through November 30, 2022. During the third quarter of 2022, 69,000 shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.7 million, of its common stock were repurchased by the Company under this plan.
At September 30, 2022, the book value per share of the Company's common stock was $18.71, and tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $18.34.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In reporting the results as of and for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company has provided supplemental financial measures on a tax-equivalent, tangible or adjusted basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are a supplement to GAAP, which is used to prepare the Company's financial statements, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein in its analysis of the Company's performance. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods presented without the impact of items or events that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying performance. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company to evaluate and measure the Company's performance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is presented below.
