STRASBURG, Va., July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First National Corporation (the “Company” or “First National”) (NASDAQ: FXNC), the bank holding company of First Bank (the “Bank”), reported consolidated net income of $5.7 million and basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.64 and $0.63, respectively, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Harvard, President and Chief Executive Officer of First National Corporation.

NET INTEREST INCOME

For the second quarter of 2026, the Company’s net interest margin fully tax equivalent ("FTE")(1) was 4.15%, compared to 3.99% for the first quarter of 2026 and 3.95% in the second quarter of 2025. The Company’s net interest margin (FTE)(1) for the second quarter of 2026 includes the impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments. Net accretion income related to acquisition accounting was $245 thousand, a 5-basis point incremental increase to the net interest margin for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Prior period acquisition accounting resulted in net accretion income of $211 thousand, or a 4-basis point incremental increase to the net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and net accretion income of $907 thousand, or a 19-basis point incremental increase to the net interest margin for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Earning asset yields for the second quarter of 2026 increased 11-basis points to 5.31% compared to the first quarter of 2026. For the second quarter of 2026, net interest income FTE(1) was $20.1 million, an increase of $1.3 million from $18.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 due to an increase in average interest-earning assets, improved yields, reduced funding costs and average and net loan growth.

The impact of acquisition accretion and amortization is reflected in the following table (dollars in thousands):

  For the Three Months Ended  For the Six Months Ended   Jun 30, 2026  Mar 31, 2026  Jun 30, 2025  Jun 30, 2026  Jun 30, 2025 Loans $334  $294  $930  $628  $736 Deposits  (14)  (10)  163   (24)  606 Borrowings  (75)  (73)  (186)  (148)  (471)  $245  $211  $907  $456  $871 


ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a $426 thousand provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $450 thousand for the first quarter of 2026. The second quarter provision was comprised of a $350 thousand provision for credit losses on loans, a $79 thousand provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments, and a $3 thousand reduction in the credit losses on securities.  Net charge-offs totaled $105 thousand in the second quarter of 2026, compared to net charge-offs of $542 thousand in the first quarter of 2026 and net charge-offs of $448 thousand in the second quarter of 2025.

The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $14.9 million, or 1.00% of total loans on June 30, 2026, compared to $14.7 million, or 1.00% of total loans on March 31, 2026, and $15.2 million, or 1.05% of total loans on June 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses to total loans remained consistent with the prior period and decreased from the prior year due to declines in specific reserves on individually analyzed loans. The allowance for credit losses to non-performing assets coverage was 315% on June 30, 2026, compared to 331% on March 31, 2026, and 223% on June 30, 2025. 

NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

Noninterest income increased $194 thousand to $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $3.8 million in the prior quarter. The increase in noninterest income includes increases in ATM and check card income, other operating income, and brokered mortgage fees compared to the prior quarter.

Noninterest expense increased $455 thousand to $16.4 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $16.0 million in the prior quarter. The increase in noninterest expense includes increases in other operating expense, marketing expense, legal and professional fees, supplies expense, and data processing expense.

The sale of two banking offices in Roanoke Rapids and Louisburg, North Carolina, including most of the deposit and loan accounts associated with those offices, has received all required regulatory approvals with a planned transaction date in October 2026. The company anticipates a one-time gain on the sale of the offices in the fourth quarter of 2026.  The Bank also plans to consolidate three additional banking offices and discontinue low volume ATMs at non-branch locations before year-end. The sale and consolidation combined will reduce the number of banking offices from 33 to 28 by year end. The goals of these branch optimization actions are to streamline operations, improve profitability and allocate resources to faster growing markets. 

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2026. The effective tax rate of 19.5% for the second quarter of 2026 remained consistent with 19.5% in the first quarter of 2026. 

BALANCE SHEET

On June 30, 2026, total assets were $2.076 billion, an increase of $34.2 million or 1.7% from June 30, 2025. Total assets were consistent with the prior quarter with the increase in loan growth offset by the decrease in cash and cash equivalents, and the increase from the prior year was driven by loan growth and additional securities available for sale.

On June 30, 2026, loans held for investment ("LHFI") net of allowance totaled $1.472 billion, an increase of $22.7 million or 3.0% annualized from $1.450 billion on March 31, 2026, and an increase of $44.2 million or 3.1% from June 30, 2025. Net loan growth in the second quarter and for the year has been driven by increased production from newly hired bankers along with our continued focus on relationship banking. 

On June 30, 2026, total investments were $322.8 million, a decrease of $1.7 million or 0.5% from March 31, 2026, and an increase of $23.2 million or 7.7% from June 30, 2025. Available for sale ("AFS") securities totaled $227.8 million on June 30, 2026, and $217.7 million on March 31, 2026, and $187.6 million on June 30, 2025. The increase compared to the prior year was driven by security purchases exceeding portfolio cashflows and utilization of excess cash. Total net unrealized losses on the AFS securities portfolio were $15.8 million on June 30, 2026, compared to $16.2 million on March 31, 2026, and $18.9 million on June 30, 2025. Held to maturity securities are carried at amortized cost and totaled $89.4 million on June 30, 2026, $101.3 million on March 31, 2026, and $106.4 million on June 30, 2025.

On June 30, 2026, total deposits were $1.831 billion, a decrease of $6.2 million or 0.3% from the prior quarter, and an increase of $28.0 million or 1.6% from June 30, 2025. While total deposits as of June 30, 2026 declined when compared to March 31, 2026, average deposit balances for the second quarter were up $49.6 million or 2.7%. Overall, the deposit balances were relatively stable in comparison with the prior quarter and the prior year with increases primarily in savings and interest-bearing demand deposits. There were $25.0 million in other borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank on June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity sources available to the Bank, including interest-bearing deposits in banks, unpledged securities available for sale, at fair value, and available lines of credit totaled $747.8 million on June 30, 2026, $764.2 million on March 31, 2026, and $633.7 million on June 30, 2025.

The Bank maintains liquidity to fund loan growth and to meet potential demand from deposit customers, including potential volatile deposits. The estimated amount of uninsured customer deposits totaled $573.8 million on June 30, 2026, $558.9 million on March 31, 2026, and $545.7 million on June 30, 2025. Excluding municipal deposits that have collateral pledged, the estimated amount of uninsured customer deposits totaled $466.9 million on June 30, 2026, $461.3 million on March 31, 2026, and $451.9 million on June 30, 2025.

ASSET QUALITY

Non-performing assets ("NPAs") increased slightly from the prior period and improved from the prior year as previously reserved loans were charged off since the second quarter of 2025. Management classifies NPAs as non-accrual loans and other real estate owned ("OREO"). The Bank had no OREO on June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, or June 30, 2025. NPAs as a percentage of total loans were 0.32% on June 30, 2026, up from 0.30% on March 31, 2026, but down from 0.47% on June 30, 2025. NPAs increased by $292 thousand to $4.7 million on June 30, 2026, compared to $4.4 million on March 31, 2026, but decreased by $2.1 million from $6.8 million on June 30, 2025.

There were no loans past due over 90 days or more and still accruing interest on June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, or June 30, 2025. Loans past-due 30-89 days and still accruing interest decreased to $2.5 million, or 0.17% of total loans on June 30, 2026, compared to $5.0 million, or 0.34% of total loans on March 31, 2026, and $3.2 million, or 0.22%, of total loans on June 30, 2025.  The health care provider portfolio balance continues to decline with $8.6 million in loan balances and $3.4 million in unamortized premiums. The portfolio has loans totaling $1.8 million currently on non-accrual that are specifically reserved for $1.3 million. 

CAPITAL

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.17 per common share, compared to $0.17 in the first quarter of 2026 and $0.155 in the second quarter of 2025.
