Current report
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, Management determined that a triggering event had occurred as a result of the share price trading under book value for more than four quarters. During the past twelve months ended June 30, 2024, changes in macroeconomic conditions, market volatility due to rising interest rates resulted in fluctuations of the Company's stock price with a sustained decrease. As a result of the triggering event, the Company engaged a third-party service provider to assist Management with the determination of the fair value of the Company in the second quarter of 2024. The resulting calculations indicated that the fair value did not exceed the carrying amount of the Company's only reporting unit as of May 31, 2024 which resulted in a determination that goodwill had become fully impaired. The goodwill impairment charge of $104.2 million reduced fully the carrying value of the Company's goodwill. The impaired goodwill is primarily related to the acquisition of the Virginia Heritage Bank in October 2014. The impairment charge did not impact our cash flows, liquidity ratios, core operating performance, or regulatory capital ratios.
Current report
The method employed to determine the fair value of the reporting unit was a combination of a risk-weighted income and market valuation methodologies, comprised of the discounted cash flow method, the guideline public company method and the guideline transaction method.
Current report
Significant judgment is necessary in the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit. The income valuation methodology requires an estimation of future cash flows, considering the after-tax results of operations, the extent and timing of credit losses, and appropriate discount and growth rates. Actual future cash flows may differ from forecasted results based on the assumptions used.
Current report
In performing the discounted cash flow analysis, the Company utilized multi-year cash projections that rely on internal forecasts of loan and deposit growth, bond mix, financing composition, market pricing of securities, credit performance, forward interest rates, future returns driven by net interest margin, fee generation and expense incurrence, industry and economic trends, and other relevant considerations. The long-term growth rate used in the calculation of fair value was derived from published projections of the inflation rate and GDP, along with Management estimates.
Current report
The discount rate was calculated as the cost of equity capital using the modified capital asset pricing model, which includes variables including the risk-free interest rate, beta, equity risk premium, size premium, and company-specific risk premium.
Current report
The market approach considers a combination of price to tangible book value and price to earnings, adjusted based on companies similar to the reporting unit and adjusted for selected multiples, along with a control premium based on a review of transactions in the banking industry in order to calculate the indicated value of the Company's equity on a control, marketable basis.
Current report
Net loss for the three months June 30, 2024 was $83.8 million as compared to net income of $28.7 million for the same period in 2023, a $112.5 million decrease. Operating net income (non-GAAP), adjusted to exclude the impact of the goodwill impairment charge, for the three months June 30, 2024 was $20.4 million, a $8.3 million decrease. Refer to the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section for additional detail and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
Current report
The decrease in net income of $112.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 relative to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to the recognition of goodwill impairment of $104.2 million. Other factors contributing to the decline in net income were an increase in provision for credit losses of $3.7 million and a decrease in noninterest income of $3.3 million, partially offset by a reduction of income tax expense of $3.8 million. The increase in the provision was due to an updated scoring of qualitative factors and an increase in the provision attributable to the reserve on the performing CRE office portfolio. The increase in operating noninterest expense (non-GAAP) was due to higher FDIC insurance fees, and the decrease in noninterest income was attributable to several one time items in the same period in 2023. The reduction in income tax expense was due to lower pre-tax income period over period. Refer to the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section for additional detail and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
Current report
Total revenue (i.e. net interest income plus noninterest income) was $76.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $80.4 million for the same period in 2023. The most significant portion of revenue is net interest income, which was $71.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $71.8 million for the same period in 2023. The primary driver for lower total revenue was lower noninterest income, which decreased $3.3 million from the same period last year.
Current report
Total noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to $5.3 million from $8.6 million for the same period in 2023, a 38.0% decrease. Noninterest income decreased primarily due to lower other income. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to $2.9 million from $6.2 million for the same period in 2023, a 52.9% decrease primarily based on the prior year period including several one time items.

Current report
Noninterest expense totaled $146.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $38.0 million for same period in 2023, a $108.5 million increase. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to the recognition of goodwill impairment of $104.2 million. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, operating noninterest expense (non-GAAP) was $42.3 million. The $4.3 million increase in operating noninterest expense (non-GAAP) was primarily due to higher FDIC insurance fees. Additional details on other noninterest expenses are provided in "Noninterest Expense" section below. Refer to the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section for additional detail and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

Current report
Operating noninterest expense is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates operating noninterest expense by subtracting from noninterest expense the one-time goodwill impairment of $104.2 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, Management determined that a triggering event had occurred as a result of the Company's sustained decrease in the Company’s stock price. Management performed an interim quantitative impairment test, resulting in the impairment charge on its only reporting unit as of May 31, 2024 and determined that goodwill had become fully impaired, which resulted in an impairment charge of $104.2 million to reduce fully the carrying value of the Company's goodwill. The Company considers the adjusted metric information that is important to shareholders because the impairment charge was a one-time event that occurred during the second quarter of 2024. The operating noninterest expense allows investors to better compare the Company's performance against historical periods.
Current report
Operating net (loss) income and operating (loss) earnings per share (diluted) are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates operating net (loss) income by excluding from net (loss) income the one-time goodwill impairment of $104.2 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, Management determined that a triggering event had occurred as a result of the share price trading under book value for more than four quarters. Management performed an interim quantitative impairment test as of May 31, 2024, and determined that goodwill had become fully impaired, resulting in the impairment charge on its only reporting unit, of $104.2 million to reduce fully the carrying value of the Company's goodwill. The Company calculates operating (loss) earnings per share (diluted) by dividing net (loss) income excluding the one-time goodwill impairment of $104.2 million by the weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company considers this information important to shareholders because operating net (loss) income and operating (loss) earnings per share (diluted) provides investors insight into how Company earnings changed exclusive of the impairment charge to allow investors to better compare the Company's performance against historical periods.
Current report
The table below provides a reconciliation of operating net (loss) income and operating (loss) earnings per share (diluted) to the nearest GAAP measure.
Current report
(1) For periods ended with a net loss, anti-dilutive financial instruments have been excluded from the calculation of earnings per share (diluted). Operating earnings per share (diluted) calculations include the impact of outstanding equity-based awards for all periods.

Previous report
As part of its annual testing for goodwill impairment, the Company concluded that no impairment existed at December 31, 2023. Management has evaluated and will continue to evaluate economic conditions in interim periods for triggering events. As of the time of this report's filing, the Company did not identify any triggering events for interim testing. However, future events, including the continuation of the Company's recent common stock trading below the book value per share, could cause the Company to conclude that goodwill or other intangibles have become impaired, which would result in recording an impairment loss. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, however, it would not impact our regulatory capital ratios, tangible common equity ratio, nor its liquidity position.

Noninterest income was $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2023. Noninterest expense was $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $40.6 million for the same period in 2023.

Previous report
Net interest income was $74.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $75.0 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the $35.7 million increase in interest expense outpacing the $35.4 million increase in interest income. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to increased volume of time deposits, other borrowings, and interest bearing transactions, and to a lesser extent was attributable to increases in average deposits and rates (4.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 3.63% for the same period in 2023). The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to increased volume and rates on loans (6.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 6.35% for the same period in 2023) and interest bearing bank deposits and other short-term investments (5.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 4.45% for the same period in 2023)
Previous report
The net interest margin decreased by 34 basis points from the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 (from 2.77% to 2.43%).

Previous report
(3)Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, the Company revised its cost of funds methodology to use a daily average calculation where interest expense on interest bearing liabilities is divided by average interest bearing liabilities and average noninterest bearing deposits. Previously, the Company calculated the cost of funds as the difference between yield on earning assets and net interest margin. The cost of funds for the three months ended March 31, 2023 has been recalculated using the current methodology.
Previous report
Total noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased to $3.6 million from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a 3% decrease. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in gains on sale of residential mortgage loans, partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposits. The Company ceased originations of first lien residential mortgages for secondary sale in the first quarter of 2023, and completed residual origination and sales activities in the second quarter of 2023.
Previous report
Total noninterest expense totaled $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $40.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a 1% decrease. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.5 million reduction in other expenses, a $2.4 million reduction in salaries and employee benefits, and a $747 thousand reduction in legal, accounting and professional fees. This total of these reductions to expense was partially offset by a $4.9 million increase in FDIC insurance.
Previous report
The decrease in salaries and employee benefits over the comparative three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was primarily due to a reduction in payroll taxes and employee benefits. At March 31, 2024, the Company's full time equivalent staff numbered 451, as compared to 486 at March 31, 2023.
Previous report
The decrease in legal, accounting and professional fees over the comparative three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was primarily due to a $959 thousand reversal of legal fees receivable in the first quarter of 2023 relating to the previously disclosed settled litigations and investigations as Directors & Officers insurance for the 2016-2017 years was fully depleted.
Previous report
As a percentage of average assets, total noninterest expense (annualized) was 1.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 1.44% for the same period in 2023. The decrease for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in average interest earning assets.
Previous report
Total shareholders' equity remained consistent at $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there was a slight decrease of 1.2%, which was primarily the result of cash dividends and the decrease in earnings.
