(the “Company”) (Nasdaq symbol: VBFC), parent company of Village Bank (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited results for the second quarter of 2024. Net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $1,653,000, or $1.11 per fully diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of 2023 of $1,239,000, or $0.83 per fully diluted share. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net income was $3,425,000, or $2.29 per fully diluted share, compared to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, of $2,779,000, or $1.87 per fully diluted share.
Jay Hendricks, President and CEO, commented, “We are pleased with the Company’s performance during the second quarter. Asset repricing and stabilizing funding cost are supporting net interest margin and helping to offset continued weakness in the mortgage environment.”
“The commercial bank grew loans, excluding student loans, 2.73% and deposits 1.39% during the second quarter 2024. While we anticipate continued pressure on our funding base, increasing loan yields and disciplined management of our deposit mix and cost will support our net interest margin the remainder of the year. 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 June 30, 2024 vs. three months ended June 30, 2023.
The Commercial Banking Segment recorded net income of $1,806,000 for Q2 2024 compared to net income of $1,478,000 for Q2 2023.
The following are variances of note for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023:
| ● | Net interest margin (“NIM”) expanded by 23 basis points to 3.75% for Q2 2024 compared to 3.52% for Q2 2023. The expansion was driven by the following: |
| o | The yield on our earning assets increased by 94 basis points, 5.60% for Q2 2024 compared to 4.66% for Q2 2023. 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 2023 and 2024. We expect to see continued improvement in the yield on earning assets because of higher yielding loan growth combined with the amortization of lower yielding assets. |
| o | The increased yield on earnings assets was partially offset by the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing by 109 basis points to 2.95% for Q2 2024 compared to 1.86% for Q2 2023. The increase in our cost of interest bearing liabilities has been 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 137 basis points to 3.16% for Q2 2024 compared to 1.79% for Q2 2023, and the rate paid on time deposits increased 199 basis points to 3.55% for Q2 2024 compared to 1.56% for Q2 2023. The increase in the rate on time deposits was impacted heavily by the addition of $20.0 million in brokered time deposits at a weighted average rate of 4.89% during the three months ended March 31, 2024. While we expect there will be continued pressure on our funding base, we are seeing the velocity of those increases slowing down as of June 30, 2024. |
| o | While the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased by 109 basis points for Q2 2024 as compared to Q2 2023, overall cost of funds increased by 76 basis points, 1.93% for Q2 2024 vs. 1.17% for Q2 2023. The lower increase in cost of funds was driven by our strong non-interest bearing deposits level, which remains near 37% of our deposit base. |
| ● | The Company did not record a provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The lack of a provision for credit losses was driven primarily by the recognition of a net-recovery of previously charged-off loans of $107,000 during the period and was supported by stable local economic conditions and credit quality remaining strong during the period. While current economic challenges due to higher inflation and the speed at which interest rates have risen remain a risk to credit quality, we believe our current level of allowance for credit losses is sufficient. |
| ● | The Commercial Banking Segment posted noninterest income of $881,000 for Q2 2024 compared to $879,000 for Q2 2023. |
| ● | The Commercial Banking Segment posted noninterest expense of $5,100,000 for Q2 2024 compared to $5,086,000 for Q2 2023. Efforts to control expenses resulted in a minimal increase in expenses from Q2 2023. |
2
The Mortgage Banking Segment posted a net loss of $153,000 for Q2 2024 compared to a net loss of $239,000 for Q2 2023. The lower loss is a result of efforts to expand revenue opportunities, control expenses, and improve gross margins on loans sold.
Six months ended June 30, 2024 vs. six months ended June 30, 2023.
The Commercial Banking Segment posted net income of $3,509,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $3,336,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
The following are variances of note for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023:
| ● | NIM expanded by 7 basis points to 3.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 3.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The expansion was driven by the following: |
| o | The yield on our earning assets increased by 92 basis points, 5.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 4.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. 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 2023 and 2024. We expect to see continued improvement in the yield on earning assets because of higher yielding loan growth combined with the amortization of lower yielding assets. |
| o | The increased yield on earnings assets was partially offset by the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing by 130 basis points to 2.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 1.55% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in our cost of funds was 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 163 basis points to 3.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 1.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and the rate paid on time deposits increased 218 basis points to 3.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 1.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the rate on time deposits was impacted heavily by the addition of $20.0 million in brokered time deposits at a weighted average rate of 4.89% during the three months ended March 31, 2024. While we expect there will be continued pressure on our funding base, we are seeing the velocity of those increases slowing down as of June 30, 2024. |
| o | While the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased by 130 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2024, overall cost of funds increased by 89 basis points, 1.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 vs. 0.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The lower increase in cost of funds was driven by our strong non-interest bearing deposits level, which remained near 37% of our deposit base. |
| ● | The Commercial Banking Segment recorded a provision for credit losses of $150,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to no provision expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The provision for credit losses was driven by loan growth during the period and was supported by stable macroeconomic conditions and credit quality remaining strong. While current economic challenges due to higher inflation and the speed at which interest rates have risen remain a risk to credit quality, we believe our current level of allowance for credit losses is sufficient. |
3
| ● | The Commercial Banking Segment posted noninterest income of $1,676,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1,701,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in noninterest income was driven by lower service and charge fee income. |
| ● | The Commercial Banking Segment posted noninterest expense of $9,915,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $9,965,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in expense was the result of efforts to control expenses, which included efforts to reduce fraud losses from check and debit card fraud. |
The Mortgage Banking Segment posted a net loss of $84,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a net loss of $557,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The lower loss was impacted by the fair value of forward sales commitments associated with the Mortgage Banking Segments loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments being adjusted, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, to properly reflect the timing of income recognition in the life cycle of the interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale, which resulted in a $233,900 increase to net income for the period, and efforts to expand revenue opportunities, control expenses, and improve gross margins on loans sold.

The growth from Q2 2023 was driven by growth in 1-4 family residential loans, which was primarily in purchase money adjustable-rate mortgages and home equity loans. |
Asset quality
Asset quality remains strong, but we remain vigilant in monitoring our portfolio segments for impacts associated with higher rates. The Bank’s period-end asset quality metrics continue to compare favorably to our peers as follows:

As of June 30, 2024, the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) was $4.00 million and included an allowance for credit losses on loans of $3.68 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $319,700. As of June 30, 2023, the ACL was $3.53 million and included an allowance for credit losses on loans of $3.26 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $277,000.
The Company did not record a provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The lack of a provision for credit losses was driven primarily by the recognition of a net-recovery of previously charged-off loans of $107,000 during the period and was supported by stable local economic conditions and credit quality remaining strong during the period.
Non-performing loans as a percentage of loans were consistent, 0.07% at June 30, 2024 compared to 0.06% at June 30, 2023.
The Company did not record a provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which was driven by a stable balance in the total commitments outstanding at June 30, 2024.
The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans ratio at the Company is 0.61% compared to the peer average of 1.11%, management considers this level of allowance sufficient and appropriate based on the current asset quality and assessment of the Company’s loan portfolio.
While current economic challenges due to higher inflation and the speed at which interest rates rose remain a risk to credit quality, we believe our current level of allowance for credit losses is sufficient.

Total deposits increased by $8,643,000, or 1.39%, from Q1 2024, and increased by $530,000, or 0.08%, from Q2 2023. Variances of note are as follows:
| ● | Noninterest bearing demand account balances increased $5,945,000 from Q1 2024 and decreased $12,996,000 from Q2 2023, and represented 37.54% of total deposits compared to 37.10% as of Q1 2024 and 39.63% as of Q2 2023. The increase in noninterest bearing demand deposits from Q1 2024 was driven by growth in new relationships and seasonal increases in business accounts. The decrease in noninterest bearing demand deposits from Q2 2023 was driven by a combination of consumers and businesses drawing down balances due to higher costs associated with continued pressure from inflation and some migration to higher yielding products. |
| ● | Low-cost relationship deposits (i.e., interest checking, money market, and savings) balances increased $2,727,000 or 0.85%, from Q1 2024 and decreased $4,967,000, or 1.51%, from Q2 2023. The increase in low-cost relationship deposits from Q1 2024 was the result of seasonal relationship growth as well as some deposits moving from non-interest bearing to interest bearing. The decrease in low-cost relationship deposits from Q2 2023 was driven by the same factors as non-interest bearing. |
| ● | Time deposits decreased by $29,000, or 0.04%, from Q1 2024 and increased by $18,493,000, or 36.98%, from Q2 2023. The increase from Q2 2023 was the result of the Commercial Bank Segment issuing $20.0 million in brokered time deposits, at a weighted average rate of 4.89%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 to supplement the noninterest-bearing reduction. |
Capital
Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2024 was $70,142,000 compared to $64,014,000 at June 30, 2023, which resulted in a tangible common equity ratio of 9.38% and 8.48%, as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The $6,128,000 increase in shareholders’ equity during the twelve months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to the recognition of net income of $2,564,000, from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024, and the $4,303,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily attributed to the impact of the balance sheet repositioning that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023, which resulted in a 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:
