First National Corporation Reports First Quarter 2026 Earnings

STRASBURG, Va., April 30, 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 $4.9 million and basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.54 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. 

“After a slow start to the first quarter, loan production picked up in March and lifted loan balances for the quarter. Deposit flows were also strong in the quarter with an eight percent annualized growth rate. We were excited to see our recently hired bankers teaming up with our legacy bankers to produce solid success on both sides of the balance sheet. With fewer days, the first quarter is typically the most challenging of the year for profitability, yet we were pleased to exceed our budgeted metrics for earnings, deposits, loans, and asset quality.  We expect that the loan production late in the quarter will reap benefits going forward and we will begin the year with good momentum.” said Scott C. Harvard, President and Chief Executive Officer of First National.

NET INTEREST INCOME

For the first quarter of 2026, the Company’s net interest margin fully tax equivalent (“FTE”)(1) was 3.99%, compared to 3.95% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 3.77% in the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s net interest margin (FTE)(1) for the first quarter of 2026 includes the impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments. Net accretion income related to acquisition accounting was $211 thousand, a 4-basis point incremental increase to the net interest margin for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Prior period acquisition accounting resulted in net accretion income of $201 thousand, or a 5-basis point incremental increase to the net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and net amortization expense of $36 thousand, or a one basis point incremental decrease to the net interest margin for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Earning asset yields for the first quarter of 2026 decreased 4-basis points to 5.20% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. For the first quarter of 2026, net interest income was $18.8 million, a decrease of $276 thousand from $19.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to a decrease in average interest-earning assets.  Loan growth occurred late in the first quarter of 2026 and was negative in the first two months of the quarter, limiting interest income growth for the quarter. 

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

For the quarter ended:   Mar 31, 2026     Dec 31, 2025     Mar 31, 2025  
Loans   $ 294     $ 283     $ (194 )
Deposits     (10 )     (10 )     443  
Borrowings     (73 )     (72 )     (285 )
    $ 211     $ 201     $ (36 )



ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a $450 thousand provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $951 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2025. The first quarter provision was comprised of a $521 thousand provision for credit losses on loans, a $56 thousand reduction in provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments, and a $15 thousand reduction in the credit losses on securities.  Net charge-offs totaled $542 thousand in the first quarter of 2026, compared to net charge-offs of $651 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2025 and net charge-offs of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2025.

The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $14.7 million, or 1.00% of total loans on March 31, 2026, compared to $14.7 million, or 1.02% of total loans on December 31, 2025, and $14.7 million, or 1.02% of total loans on March 31, 2025. The decrease in allowance for credit losses to total loans from the prior period is primarily driven by lower individually analyzed loans balances following charge-offs recorded during the quarter. The allowance for credit losses to non-performing assets coverage increased to 331% on March 31, 2026, compared to 316% on December 31, 2025, and 303% on March 31, 2025. 

NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

Noninterest income decreased $1.2 million to $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $5.0 million in the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily due to a one-time recovery, recognized in the prior period, of $895 thousand related to an acquired loan that was charged off prior to the acquisition of Touchstone Bank. The decrease in noninterest income includes additional decreases in income from bank owned life insurance, decreases in ATM and check card income, and decreases in brokered mortgage fees compared to the prior quarter. 

Adjusted operating noninterest income(1), which excludes the loan recovery ($895 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2025), decreased $299 thousand to $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $4.1 million in the prior quarter, due to nominal decreases in income from bank owned life insurance, in ATM and check card income, and in brokered mortgage fees.

Noninterest expense decreased $143 thousand to $16.0 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $16.1 million in the prior quarter. Decreases in other operating expenses, merger expenses, data processing expense, and equipment expense were partially offset by the increase in salaries and employee benefits. Merger expenses in the prior quarter were incurred due to the one-time early lease termination of $127 thousand for the now closed Raleigh loan production office acquired in the Touchstone Bank merger. 

Adjusted operating noninterest expense(1), which excludes the Raleigh LPO lease termination in the fourth quarter of 2025 and amortization of intangible assets ($434 thousand in the first quarter of 2026 and $442 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2025), decreased $8 thousand to $15.5 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $15.6 million in the prior quarter, due to decreases in equipment expense, data processing expense, and other operating expense that were offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025.  The effective tax rate of 19.5% for the first quarter of 2026 decreased from 20.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025.  This decreased effective tax rate in the first quarter was driven by the impact of nondeductible merger expenses in the prior quarter. 

BALANCE SHEET

On March 31, 2026, total assets were $2.076 billion, an increase of $37.8 million or 1.9% (7.5% annualized) from December 31, 2025, and an increase of $42.5 million or 2.1% (8.5% annualized) from March 31, 2025. Total assets increased from the prior quarter due to loan growth and increased cash and cash equivalents, and the increase from the prior year was driven by loan growth and additional investment in securities available for sale.

On March 31, 2026, loans held for investment (“LHFI”) net of allowance totaled $1.450 billion, an increase of $14.7 million or 4.0% annualized from $1.435 billion on December 31, 2025, and an increase of $13.8 million or 4.0% annualized from March 31, 2025. Loans grew in the first quarter of 2026 due to higher new loan production.

On March 31, 2026, total investments were $324.6 million, a decrease of $1.5 million or 0.5% from December 31, 2025, and an increase of $50.9 million or 18.6% from March 31, 2025. Available for sale (“AFS”) securities totaled $217.7 million on March 31, 2026, and $217.5 million on December 31, 2025, and $161.0 million on March 31, 2025. The increase compared to the prior year was driven by security purchases exceeding portfolio cashflows and utilization of excess cash from the Touchstone Bank acquisition. Total net unrealized losses on the AFS securities portfolio were $16.2 million on March 31, 2026, compared to $14.8 million on December 31, 2025, and $20.1 million on March 31, 2025. Held to maturity securities are carried at amortized cost and totaled $101.3 million on March 31, 2026, $102.9 million on December 31, 2025, and $108.3 million on March 31, 2025.

On March 31, 2026, total deposits were $1.837 billion, an increase of $37.7 million or 2.1% from the prior quarter, and an increase of $12.3 million or 0.7% from March 31, 2025. 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 March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, compared to no other borrowings on March 31, 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 $764.2 million on March 31, 2026, $743.0 million on December 31, 2025, and $800.2 million on March 31, 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 $558.9 million on March 31, 2026, $538.2 million on December 31, 2025, and $549.3 million on March 31, 2025. Excluding municipal deposits that have collateral pledged, the estimated amount of uninsured customer deposits totaled $461.3 million on March 31, 2026, $448.8 million on December 31, 2025, and $458.7 million on March 31, 2025.

ASSET QUALITY

Overall non-performing assets (“NPAs”) improved over the prior period and prior year as previously reserved loans were charged off in the first quarter of 2026. Management classifies NPAs as non-accrual loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”). The Bank had no OREO on March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, or March 31, 2025. NPAs as a percentage of total loans declined to 0.30% on March 31, 2026, down from 0.32% on December 31, 2025, and down from 0.34% on March 31, 2025. NPAs decreased by $209 thousand to $4.4 million on March 31, 2026, compared to $4.7 million on December 31, 2025, and $4.9 million on March 31, 2025.

There were no loans past due over 90 days or more and still accruing interest on March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, or March 31, 2025. Loans past-due 30-89 days and still accruing interest increased to $5.0 million, or 0.34% of total loans on March 31, 2026, compared to $3.8 million, or 0.26% of total loans on December 31, 2025, and $5.0 million, or 0.35%, of total loans on March 31, 2025.  The health care provider portfolio balance continues to decline with $9.1 million in loan balances and $3.7 million in unamortized premiums. The portfolio has loans totaling $1.8 million currently on non-accrual that are specifically reserved for $1.2 million. 

CAPITAL

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.17 per common share, compared to $0.17 in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $0.155 in the first quarter of 2025. Tangible book value per share(1) grew to $19.11 at March 31, 2026, from $18.83 per share at December 31, 2025, and $16.81 at March 31, 2025.
