FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Blake Edwards, President & CEO – 276-773-2811

Lori Vaught, EVP & CFO – 276-773-2811

 

FLOYD, VA, and INDEPENDENCE, VA, April 24, 2024 (Globe Newswire) -- Skyline Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC QX: SLBK) – the holding company for Skyline National Bank (the “Bank”) – announced its results of operations for the first quarter of 2024.

 

The Company recorded net income of $2.1 million, or $0.37 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.49 per share, for the same period in 2023. First quarter 2024 earnings represented an annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 0.79% and an annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) of 9.94%, compared to 1.10% and 14.78%, respectively, for the same period last year.

 

President and CEO Blake Edwards stated, “We are very pleased with our results for the first quarter of 2024, despite the challenges of higher deposit costs, and the impacts of inflation on our operating costs. The solid loan growth we experienced in 2023 continued into the first quarter of 2024 and has helped to offset much of the increase in deposit costs. Prudent capital management also allowed us to increase our dividend by over 9% during the quarter while repurchasing 20 thousand shares of our company’s stock through our ongoing share repurchase program.”

 

Edwards continued, “We expect competition for deposits, increased interest expense, and higher operating costs to continue in the near term, and because of this we expect to see continued pressure on earnings and margins; however, as we have demonstrated, our team will continue to focus on our long-term strategy of growing the Skyline franchise and creating shareholder value with an emphasis on relationship-banking and growing our low-cost core deposit base.”

 

Edwards concluded, “As a part of this long-term strategy we recently announced our pending entrance into Tennessee through our acquisition of Johnson County Bank, which is expected to close during the second half of 2024. This strategic move is not only rooted in our shared values but also aligns with our growth objectives, presenting an exceptional opportunity to strengthen our footprint as Johnson County Bank is located directly between our existing markets of Boone, North Carolina and Abingdon, Virginia. We are excited to bring our commitment to excellence and dedication to the businesses and people of Johnson County, Tennessee. This is an exciting chapter in the history of our bank and we look forward to welcoming Johnson County Bank into the Skyline family.”

First Quarter 2024 Income Statement Review

 

Net interest income after provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2024 was $8.8 million, compared to $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting an increase in the provision for credit losses of $199 thousand in the quarterly comparison. Total interest income was $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, representing an increase of $1.9 million in comparison to the $10.1 million in the first quarter of 2023. Interest income on loans increased in the quarterly comparison by $2.0 million, primarily due to organic loan growth of $62.8 million from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, and increases in interest rates during that time period. Management anticipates that this loan growth, in addition to higher rates in the current year, will continue to have a positive impact on both earning assets and loan yields. Interest expense on deposits increased by $1.8 million in the quarterly comparison, as a result of rate increases on deposit offerings and migration from lower cost deposits to time deposits. Management anticipates that interest expense on deposits will increase in the near term as competitive pressures for deposits may result in continued increases in rates on deposit offerings, especially on time deposits. Interest on borrowings increased by $268 thousand, due to short-term FHLB advances to fund loan growth.

 

First quarter 2024 noninterest income was $1.7 million compared with $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. Included in noninterest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $218 thousand from life insurance contracts and a net realized security loss of $141 thousand. The net security loss resulted from the recognition of unamortized premiums on a called bond. Excluding these items, noninterest income increased by $58 thousand in the quarter over quarter comparison, primarily as a result of an increase in service charges on deposits of $54 thousand.

 

Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2024 was $8.0 million compared with $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $641 thousand, or 8.74%. Salary and benefits increased by $235 thousand in the quarterly comparison due to personnel additions and routine salary adjustments, as well as increased benefit costs. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $225 thousand, and data processing increased by $158 thousand in the quarterly comparisons primarily due to branch expansion costs.

 

Income tax expense decreased by $166 thousand in the quarter-to-quarter comparison, primarily due to an decrease in net income before taxes of $843 thousand in the quarterly comparison.

 

Balance Sheet Review

 

Total assets increased in the first quarter of 2024 by $4.2 million, or 0.41%, remaining comparable at $1.05 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and increased by $31.0 million, or 3.04%, from $1.02 billion at March 31, 2023. The increase in total assets during the quarter can be primarily attributed to the loan growth of $9.0 million during the quarter offset by a decrease in investment securities of $5.0 million during the quarter.

 

Total loans increased during the first quarter by $9.0 million, or 1.10%, to $826.7 million at March 31, 2024 from $817.7 million at December 31, 2023, and increased by $62.1 million, or 8.12%, compared to $764.6 million at March 31, 2023. Core loan growth during the first quarter was at an annualized rate of 4.54%.

 

Asset quality has remained strong, with a ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans of 0.22% at March 31, 2024 compared to 0.21% at December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses remained comparable at approximately 0.82% of total loans as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Investment securities decreased by $5.0 million during the first quarter to $122.4 million at March 31, 2024 from $127.4 million at December 31, 2023, and decreased by $14.3 million from $136.7 million at March 31, 2023. The decrease in the first quarter of 2024 was the result of a $718 thousand increase in unrealized losses on investment securities and paydowns and calls of $4.1 million.

 

Total deposits increased in the first quarter of 2024 by $1.7 million, or 0.18%, to $930.4 million at March 31, 2024 from $928.7 million at December 31, 2023, and increased $24.9 million, or 2.76%, compared to $905.5 million at March 31, 2023. Noninterest bearing deposits decreased by $11.2 million and interest-bearing deposits increased by $12.9 million during the quarter. Lower cost interest bearing deposits decreased by $1.0 million during the quarter, and time deposits increased by $13.9 million, as customers continue to look for higher returns on their deposits.

 

 

Stockholders’ equity remained comparable at $82.9 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and increased $6.6 million, or 8.60%, from $76.3 million at March 31, 2023. The change during the quarter was due to earnings of $2.1 million, less dividends paid of $1.3 million, $568 thousand in other comprehensive losses, and stock repurchases of $230 thousand. Book value decreased from $14.84 per share at December 31, 2023 to $14.72 per share at March 31, 2024.
