C&F FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). They do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the C&F Financial Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C&F Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank (the Bank or C&F Bank) and indirect subsidiaries that are wholly-owned or controlled. Subsidiaries that are less than wholly owned are fully consolidated if they are controlled by the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries, and the portion of any subsidiary not owned by the Corporation is reported as noncontrolling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the Corporation owns all of the common stock of C&F Financial Statutory Trust I, C&F Financial Statutory Trust II and Central Virginia Bankshares Statutory Trust I, all of which are unconsolidated subsidiaries. The subordinated debt owed to these trusts is reported as liabilities of the Corporation.  The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to U.S. GAAP and to predominant practices within the banking industry.

Nature of Operations: The Corporation is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Corporation owns all of the stock of its subsidiary, C&F Bank, which is an independent commercial bank chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

C&F Bank has five wholly-owned subsidiaries: C&F Mortgage Corporation (C&F Mortgage), C&F Finance Company (C&F Finance), C&F Wealth Management Corporation (C&F Wealth Management), C&F Insurance Services, Inc. and CVB Title Services, Inc., all incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. C&F Mortgage, organized in September 1995, was formed to originate and sell residential mortgages and through its subsidiary, Certified Appraisals LLC, provides ancillary mortgage loan production services for residential appraisals. C&F Mortgage owns a 51 percent interest in C&F Select LLC, which was organized in January 2019 and is also engaged in the business of originating and selling residential mortgages. C&F Finance, acquired in September 2002, is a finance company purchasing automobile, marine and recreational vehicle (RV) loans through indirect lending programs. C&F Wealth Management, organized in April 1995, is a full-service brokerage firm offering a comprehensive range of wealth management services and insurance products through third-party service providers. C&F Insurance Services, Inc., was organized in July 1999, for the primary purpose of owning an equity interest in an independent insurance agency that operates in Virginia and North Carolina. CVB Title Services, Inc. was organized for the primary purpose of owning an equity interest in a full service title and settlement agency. Business segment data is presented in Note 10.

Basis of Presentation: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, impairment of loans and goodwill impairment. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations in these financial statements, have been made.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant disruption in economic activity worldwide, including in market areas served by the Corporation. Estimates for the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2020 include losses related to the pandemic.  The Corporation expects that the pandemic will continue to have an effect on its results of operations, including resulting in additional provision for loan losses in future periods.

Table of Contents

It is unknown how long these conditions will last and what the ultimate financial impact will be to the Corporation.  Depending on the severity of the economic consequences of the pandemic, the Corporation’s goodwill may become impaired.

Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.  None of these reclassifications are considered material.

Business Combination: On January 1, 2020, the Corporation completed the acquisition of Peoples Bankshares, Incorporated (Peoples) and its banking subsidiary, Peoples Community Bank for an aggregate purchase price of $22.19 million of cash and stock.  Additional information about the acquisition is presented in Note 2.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Corporation recognizes derivative financial instruments at fair value as either an other asset or other liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Corporation’s derivative financial instruments include (1) interest rate swaps that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges on the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes, (2) interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers and dealer counterparties and (3) interest rate contracts arising from mortgage banking activities, including interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) on mortgage loans and related forward sales of mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities. The gain or loss on the Corporation’s cash flow hedges is reported as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes, and reclassified into earnings in the same period(s) during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. IRLCs, forward sales contracts and interest rate swaps with loan customers and dealer counterparties are not designated as hedging instruments, and therefore changes in the fair value of these instruments are reported as noninterest income or noninterest expense, as applicable. The Corporation’s derivative financial instruments are described more fully in Note 12.

Leases: The Corporation’s leases comprise primarily operating leases of real estate and office equipment in which the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries is the lessee. In the second quarter of 2020, the Corporation entered into a new lease of real estate which is classified as a finance lease. The right of use asset and lease liability were measured at $2.18 million at commencement of the lease. The Corporation’s right of use assets, which are presented in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and lease liabilities, which are presented in other liabilities and long-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for operating and finance leases, respectively, are presented in the table below.

Income Taxes: The Corporation’s effective tax rate was 20.7 percent and 20.9 percent for the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Corporation recognized income tax benefits of $303,000 in the second quarter and first six months of 2020 arising from a change in tax law enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which changed the tax rate applied to certain net operating losses of Peoples. Changes in tax law are recognized in income tax expense in the period in which they are enacted.

Share-Based Compensation: Share-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the first six months of 2020 was $312,000 ($217,000 after tax) and $701,000 ($435,000 after tax), respectively, for restricted stock granted during 2015 through 2020. As of June 30, 2020, there was $3.30 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock that will be recognized over the remaining requisite service periods.

Paycheck Protection Program: Beginning in April 2020, the Corporation originated loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) of the Small Business Administration (SBA).  PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA, and in some cases borrowers may be eligible to obtain forgiveness of the loans, in which case loans would be repaid by the SBA.  As repayment of the PPP loans is guaranteed by the SBA, the Corporation does not recognize a reserve for PPP loans in its allowance for loan losses.  The Corporation received fees from the SBA of one percent to five percent of the principal amount of each loan originated under the PPP.  Fees received from the SBA are recognized net of direct origination costs in interest income over the life of the related loans.  Recognition of fees related to PPP loans is dependent upon the timing of ultimate repayment or forgiveness.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

On January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” These amendments modified the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The applicable amendments of ASU 2018-13 were applied prospectively and did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Significant Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” as part of its project on financial instruments. Subsequently, this ASU was amended when the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief,” ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments—Credit losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)—Effective dates,” ASU 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses,” ASU 2020-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842)” and ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments” (collectively, ASC 326).  ASC 326 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination.  

11

Table of Contents

The new standard will be effective for the Corporation beginning on January 1, 2023.  Early adoption of the new standard is permitted.

The amendments of ASC 326, upon adoption, will be applied on a modified retrospective basis, with the cumulative effect of adopting the new standard being recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Corporation has established a working group to prepare for and implement changes related to ASC 326 and has gathered historical loan loss data for purposes of evaluating appropriate portfolio segmentation and modeling methods under the standard.  The Corporation has performed procedures to validate the historical loan loss data to ensure its suitability and reliability for purposes of developing an estimate of expected credit losses under ASC 326. The Corporation has engaged a vendor to assist in modeling expected lifetime losses under ASC 326, and is continuing to develop and refine an approach to estimating the allowance for credit losses. The adoption of ASC 326 will result in significant changes to the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, which may include changes in the level of the allowance for credit losses that will be considered adequate, a reduction in total equity and regulatory capital of C&F Bank, differences in the timing of recognizing changes to the allowance for credit losses and expanded disclosures about the allowance for credit losses. The Corporation has not yet determined an estimate of the effect of these changes. The adoption of the standard will also result in significant changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting related to the allowance for credit losses.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” These amendments modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Certain disclosure requirements have been deleted while the following disclosure requirements have been added: the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates and an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The amendments also clarify the disclosure requirements regarding the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets and the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets. The amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted.  The Corporation does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-14 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not currently expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2:  Business Combination

On January 1, 2020, the Corporation completed its acquisition of Peoples.  Peoples shareholders received 0.5366 shares of the Corporation’s common stock and $27.00 in cash for each share of Peoples common stock, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares of the Corporation’s common stock.  In connection with the transaction, the Corporation paid aggregate cash consideration of $10.58 million and issued 209,871 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Peoples.  

The Corporation accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition and the common stock of the Corporation issued as consideration were recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, particularly related to the loan portfolio, is inherently subjective and involves significant judgment regarding the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value.  During the measurement period, the acquirer shall adjust the amounts recognized at the acquisition date and may recognize additional assets or liabilities to reflect new information obtained from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date.  Measurement period adjustments are recognized in the reporting period in which they are determined.  The measurement period may not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

In connection with the acquisition, the Corporation recorded approximately $10.77 million of goodwill and $1.71 million of other intangible assets related to the core deposits of Peoples.  The goodwill arising from the acquisition of Peoples is not deductible for income taxes.  The core deposit intangible asset (CDI) will be amortized over a period of 15 years using a declining balance method.

Loans acquired from Peoples had aggregate outstanding principal of $131.92 million and an estimated fair value of $124.20 million.  The discount between the outstanding principal balance and fair value represents expected credit losses and adjustments for market interest rates.  Under the acquisition method, the allowance for loan losses recorded in the books of Peoples in the amount of $2.87 million was not carried over into the books of the Corporation.  Loans that have evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination are categorized as purchased credit impaired (PCI).  PCI loans acquired from Peoples included medical student loans with an outstanding principal balance of $4.28 million and a fair value of $635,000 at January 1, 2020, which were purchased by Peoples and the performance of which was previously backed by surety bonds.  The surety bonds were terminated in 2018 when the issuer of the bond was placed into liquidation by its insurance regulator, and replacement surety bond coverage has not been obtained.

$

Fair values of the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined as follows:

Loans:  The acquired loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date without carryover of People's allowance for loan losses. The fair value of the loans was determined using market participant assumptions in estimating the amount and timing of both principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and then discounting those cash flows based on a discount rate that would be required by a market participant. In this regard, the acquired loans were segregated into pools based on loan type and credit risk. Loan type was determined based on collateral type, loan purpose and loan structure. Credit risk characteristics included risk rating groups (pass rated loans and adversely classified loans), updated loan-to-value ratios and lien position, and past loan performance. For valuation purposes, these pools were further disaggregated by maturity and pricing characteristics (e.g., fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, balloon maturities).

Core Deposit Intangible: The fair value of the CDI was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate based on the estimated cost of equity capital for a market participant. To calculate cash flows, deposit account servicing costs (net of deposit fee income) and interest expense on deposits were compared to the cost of alternative funding sources available through the FHLB. The life of the deposit base and projected deposit attrition rates were determined using Peoples’ historical deposit data. The CDI was estimated at $1.71 million or 1.8% of non-maturity deposits.

Deposits:  The fair value adjustment of deposits represents a premium over the value of the contractual repayments of fixed-maturity deposits using prevailing market interest rates for similar term certificates of deposit. The resulting estimated fair value adjustment of certificates of deposit ranging in maturity from three months to five years is a $557,000 premium and is being amortized into income over a period of two years.

The following table presents certain unaudited pro forma information as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2019. These results combine the historical results of Peoples and the Corporation for the period prior to the merger.  While certain adjustments were made for estimated effects resulting from the application of the acquisition method, including certain fair value adjustments, this pro forma information is not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition actually taken place on January 1, 2019. Pro forma adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 include the net impact of accretion of loan discounts related to market interest rates, amortization of premiums on deposits and borrowings, amortization of intangible assets and related income taxes.  Unaudited pro forma net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 include after tax merger related expenses of $28,000 recorded by Peoples, or $(0.01) per share.  Additionally, the Corporation expects to achieve further operational cost savings and other efficiencies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma amounts below.

Merger related expenses associated with the acquisition of Peoples were $439,000 ($347,000 after income taxes) for the three months ended June 30, 2020, $1.40 million ($1.13 million after income taxes) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $2.10 million ($1.78 million after income taxes) in the aggregate through June 30, 2020.  There were no merger related expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.  These costs included the integration of systems and operations and legal and consulting expenses, which have been expensed as incurred.  The Corporation believes that any further merger related expenses incurred in future periods will not be significant to the Corporation as a whole.

There were 11 debt securities totaling $15.73 million of aggregate fair value considered temporarily impaired at June 30, 2020. The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the Corporation’s investments in debt securities was fluctuations in interest rates. The Corporation’s mortgage-backed securities are entirely issued by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.  Collectively, these entities provide a guarantee, which is either explicitly or implicitly supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, that investors in such mortgage-backed securities will receive timely principal and interest payments.  At June 30, 2020, all of the Corporation’s obligations of states and political subdivisions that were in a net unrealized loss position were rated “A” or better by Standard & Poor's or Moody's Investors Service. The Corporation considers these to meet regulatory credit quality standards, meaning that the securities have low risk of default by the obligor and the full and timely repayment of principal and interest is expected over the expected life of the investment. Because the Corporation intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more-likely-than-not that the Corporation will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of unrealized losses, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2020 and no other-than-temporary impairment loss has been recognized in net income.

The Corporation’s investment in restricted stock totaled $3.21 million at June 30, 2020 and consisted of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock.  Restricted stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment, which is carried at cost because there is no market for the stock other than the FHLBs. Therefore, when evaluating restricted stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing any temporary decline in value. The Corporation did not consider its investment in restricted stock to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2020 and no impairment has been recognized.

1For the purposes of the table above, “Current” includes loans that are 1-29 days past due.

The table above includes nonaccrual loans that are current of $547,000, 30-59 days past due of $197,000, 60-89 days past due of $10,000 and 90+ days past due of $1.74 million.

There were no loan modifications during the three months ended June 30, 2020 classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). There was one loan modification during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that was classified as a TDR.  This TDR was an equity line with a recorded investment of $84,000 at the time of its modification and included modifications of the loan’s payment structure. There was one loan modification during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 that was classified as a TDR.  This TDR was a consumer loan with a recorded investment of $121,000 at the time of its modification and included a modification of the loan’s interest rate.

All TDRs are considered impaired loans and are individually evaluated in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. A TDR payment default occurs when, within 12 months of the original TDR modification, either a full or partial charge-off occurs or a TDR becomes 90 days or more past due. The specific reserve associated with a TDR is reevaluated

when a TDR payment default occurs. There were no TDR payment defaults during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

In response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including economic disruption and adverse impacts to commercial and consumer borrowers, the Bank has accommodated certain borrowers by granting short-term payment deferrals or periods of interest-only payments of up to six months in each case.  As of June 30, 2020, the Bank had provided short-term payment deferrals on 200 loans with an aggregate balance of $94.91 million. Generally, a short-term payment deferral does not result in a loan modification being classified as a TDR.  Management cannot predict the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its loan portfolio or the extent of payment deferrals or other modifications that may be granted.

Impaired loans, which included TDRs of $3.79 million, and the related allowance at June 30, 2020 were as follows:

NOTE 9: Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. U.S. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. U.S. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of the three levels. These levels are:

 

Level 1—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt securities traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury securities.

 

Level 2—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3—Valuation is determined using model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Corporation’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the respective asset or liability. Valuation techniques may include the use of pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

 

U.S. GAAP allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value (the fair value option) for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis.  The Corporation has elected to use fair value accounting for its entire portfolio of loans held for sale (LHFS).

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

The following describes the valuation techniques and inputs used by the Corporation in determining the fair value of certain assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.

 

Securities available for sale. The Corporation primarily values its investment portfolio using Level 2 fair value measurements, but may also use Level 1 or Level 3 measurements if required by the composition of the portfolio. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Corporation’s entire investment securities portfolio was comprised of securities available for sale, which were valued using Level 2 fair value measurements. The Corporation has contracted with third party portfolio accounting service vendors for valuation of its securities portfolio. The vendors’ sources for security valuation are ICE Data Services (ICE) and Thomson Reuters Pricing Service (TRPS).  Each source provides opinions, known as evaluated prices, as to the value of individual securities based on model-based pricing techniques that are partially based on available market data, including prices for similar instruments in active markets and prices for identical assets in markets that are not active. ICE provides evaluated prices for the Corporation’s obligations of states and political subdivisions category of securities.  ICE uses proprietary pricing models and pricing systems, mathematical tools and judgment to determine an evaluated price for a security based upon a hierarchy of market information regarding that security or securities with similar characteristics.  TRPS provides evaluated prices for the Corporation’s U.S. government agencies and corporations and mortgage-backed categories of securities.  Fixed-rate callable securities of the U.S. government agencies and corporations category are individually evaluated on an option adjusted spread basis for callable issues or on a nominal spread basis incorporating the term structure of agency market spreads and the appropriate risk free benchmark curve for non-callable issues.  Pass-through mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in the mortgage-backed category are grouped into aggregate categories defined by issuer program, weighted average coupon, and weighted average maturity.  Each aggregate is benchmarked to relative to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities (TBA securities) or other benchmark prices. TBA securities prices are obtained from market makers and live trading systems. Collateralized mortgage obligations in the mortgage-backed category are individually evaluated based upon a hierarchy of security specific information and market data regarding that security or securities with similar characteristics.  Each evaluation is determined using an option adjusted spread and prepayment model based on volatility-driven, multi-dimensional spread tables. Fixed-rate securities issued by the Small Business Association in the mortgage backed category are individually

evaluated based upon a hierarchy of security specific information and market data regarding that security or securities with similar characteristics.

Investments in small business investment company funds. The Corporation holds an investment in a small business investment company fund, which is recorded at fair value and included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.  At June 30, 2020, the fair value of the Corporation’s investment in small business investment companies, based on net asset value, was $1.43 million.  Investments in small business investment company funds measured at net asset value are not presented in the tables below related to fair value measurements. Changes in fair value of small business investment company funds resulted in the recognition of unrealized losses of $124,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

  

Loans held for sale. Fair value of the Corporation’s LHFS is based on observable market prices for similar instruments traded in the secondary mortgage loan markets in which the Corporation conducts business. The Corporation’s portfolio of LHFS is classified as Level 2.

Derivative asset - IRLCs. The Corporation recognizes IRLCs at fair value. Fair value of IRLCs is based on either (i) the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis or (ii) the observable price for individual loans traded in the secondary market for loans that will be delivered on a mandatory basis. All of the Corporation’s IRLCs are classified as Level 2.

Derivative asset/liability – interest rate swaps on loans. The Corporation recognizes interest rate swaps at fair value.  The Corporation has contracted with a third party vendor to provide valuations for these interest rate swaps using standard valuation techniques. All of the Corporation’s interest rate swaps on loans are classified as Level 2.

Derivative asset/liability – cash flow hedges. The Corporation recognizes cash flow hedges at fair value. The fair value of the Corporation’s cash flow hedges is determined using the discounted cash flow method.  All of the Corporation’s cash flow hedges are classified as Level 2.

Derivative asset/liability – forward sales of TBA securities. The Corporation recognizes forward sales of TBA securities at fair value. The fair value of forward sales of TBA securities is based on prices obtained from market makers and live trading systems for TBA securities of similar issuer programs, coupons and maturities. All of the Corporation’s forward sales of TBA securities are classified as Level 2.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Corporation may be required, from time to time, to measure and recognize certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following describes the valuation techniques and inputs used by the Corporation in determining the fair value of certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.

27

Table of Contents

Impaired loans. The Corporation does not record loans held for investment at fair value on a recurring basis. However, there are instances when a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. The Corporation measures impairment either based on the fair value of the loan using the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, which is not a fair value measurement. The Corporation maintains a valuation allowance to the extent that this measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. When an impaired loan is measured at fair value based solely on observable market prices or a current appraisal without further adjustment for unobservable inputs, the Corporation records the impaired loan as a nonrecurring fair value measurement classified as Level 2. However, if based on management’s review, additional discounts to observed market prices or appraisals are required or if observable inputs are not available, the Corporation records the impaired loan as a nonrecurring fair value measurement classified as Level 3.

Impaired loans that are measured based on expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate rather than the market rate of interest, are not recorded at fair value and are therefore excluded from fair value disclosure requirements.

OREO. Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure. Initial fair value is based upon appraisals the Corporation obtains from independent licensed appraisers. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations of the foreclosed assets based on updated appraisals, general market conditions, recent sales of similar properties, length of time the properties have been held, and our ability and intent with regard to continued ownership of the properties. The Corporation may incur additional write-downs of foreclosed assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell if valuations indicate a further deterioration in market conditions. As such, the Corporation records OREO as a nonrecurring fair value measurement classified as Level 3.

The following table presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. At June 30, 2020 there were no impaired loans that were measured at fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Corporation. The Corporation uses the exit price notion in calculating the fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following tables reflect the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments whether or not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

NOTE 10: Business Segments

The Corporation operates in a decentralized fashion in three principal business segments: community banking, mortgage banking and consumer finance. Revenues from community banking operations consist primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and fees earned on deposit accounts and debit card interchange activity. Previously, the community banking segment was referred to as the retail banking segment. Mortgage banking operating revenues consist principally of gains on sales of loans in the secondary market, mortgage banking fee income related to loan originations, and interest earned on mortgage loans held for sale. Revenues from consumer finance consist primarily of interest earned on purchased retail installment sales contracts.

C&F Wealth Management derives revenues from offering wealth management services and insurance products through third-party service providers.  The Corporation’s revenues and expenses are comprised primarily of interest expense associated with the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes, general corporate expenses, and changes in the value of the rabbi trust and deferred compensation liability related to its nonqualified deferred compensation plan.  The results of C&F Wealth Management and the Corporation are not significant to the Corporation on a consolidated basis and are included in “Other.”

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Corporation recorded merger related expenses of $439,000 ($347,000 after income taxes), in connection with its acquisition of Peoples, all of which was allocated to the community banking segment and recorded as $50,000 of salaries and benefits expense and $389,000 of other noninterest expense.  During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Corporation recorded merger related expenses of $1.40 million ($1.13 million after income taxes), in connection with its acquisition of Peoples, of which $1.30 million ($1.03 million after income taxes) was allocated to the community banking segment and recorded as $119,000 of salaries and benefits expense, $879,000 of other noninterest expense and a loss on disposal of equipment of $298,000 included in other noninterest income.  The remainder was recorded as other noninterest expense at the holding company.

The community banking segment extends two warehouse lines of credit to the mortgage banking segment, providing a portion of the funds needed to originate mortgage loans. The community banking segment charges the mortgage banking segment interest at the daily FHLB advance rate plus a spread ranging from 50 basis points to 175 basis points. The community banking segment also provides the consumer finance segment with a portion of the funds needed to purchase

Table of Contents

loan contracts by means of variable rate notes that carry interest at one-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points, with a floor of 3.5 percent and fixed rate notes that carry interest at rates ranging from 2.0 percent to 8.0 percent. The community banking segment acquires certain residential real estate loans from the mortgage banking segment at prices similar to those paid by third-party investors. These transactions are eliminated to reach consolidated totals. Certain corporate overhead costs incurred by the community banking segment are not allocated to the mortgage banking, consumer finance and other segments.

 

NOTE 11: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Corporation enters into commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, including loan commitments and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.  Collateral is obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.

Loan commitments are agreements to extend credit to a customer provided that there are no violations of the terms of the contract prior to funding. Commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the customer. Because many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of loan commitments at the Bank was $303.92 million at June 30, 2020 and $256.15 million at December 31, 2019, which does not include IRLCs at the mortgage banking segment, which are discussed in Note 12.

Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The total contract amount of standby letters of credit, whose contract amounts represent credit risk, was $17.18 million at June 30, 2020 and $16.60 million at December 31, 2019.

The mortgage banking segment sells substantially all of the residential mortgage loans it originates to third-party investors. As is customary in the industry, the agreements with these investors require the mortgage banking segment to extend representations and warranties with respect to program compliance, borrower misrepresentation, fraud, and early payment performance. Under the agreements, the investors are entitled to make loss claims and repurchase requests of the mortgage banking segment for loans that contain covered deficiencies. The mortgage banking segment has obtained early payment default recourse waivers for a significant portion of its business. Recourse periods for early payment default for the remaining investors vary from 90 days up to one year. Recourse periods for borrower misrepresentation or fraud, or underwriting error do not have a stated time limit. The mortgage banking segment maintains an allowance for indemnifications that represents management’s estimate of losses that are probable of arising under these recourse provisions. As performance data for loans that have been sold is not made available to the mortgage banking segment by the investors, the evaluation of potential losses is inherently subjective.  A schedule of expected losses on loans with claims or indemnifications is maintained to ensure the reserve is adequate to cover estimated losses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Corporation recorded $156,000 and $163,000 of provision for indemnifications, compared to no provision for indemnifications for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The allowance for indemnifications was $2.64 million at June 30, 2020 and $2.48 million at December 31, 2019.

 

NOTE 12: Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation uses derivative financial instruments primarily to manage risks to the Corporation associated with changing interest rates, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Corporation designates certain interest rate swaps as hedging instruments in qualifying cash flow hedges.  The changes in fair value of these designated hedging instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income.  Derivative contracts that are not designated in a qualifying hedging relationship include customer accommodation loan swaps and contracts related to mortgage banking activities.

33

Table of Contents

Cash flow hedges.  The Corporation designates interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage exposure to variability in cash flows on variable rate borrowings such as the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes. These interest rate swaps are derivative financial instruments that manage the risk of variability in cash flows by exchanging variable-rate interest payments on a notional amount of the Corporation’s borrowings for fixed-rate interest payments.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the effect of changes in interest rates on the amount of variable-rate interest payments, and the Corporation assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship quarterly. If the Corporation determines that a cash flow hedge is no longer highly effective, future changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument would be reported in earnings. As of June 30, 2020, the Corporation has designated cash flow hedges to manage its exposure to variability in cash flows on certain variable rate borrowings for periods that end between June 2024 and June 2029.

 

All interest rate swaps were entered into with counterparties that met the Corporation’s credit standards and the agreements contain collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. The Corporation believes that the credit risk inherent in these derivative contracts is not significant.

Unrealized gains or losses recorded in other comprehensive income related to cash flow hedges are reclassified into earnings in the same period(s) during which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. When a designated hedging instrument is terminated and the hedged interest payments remain probable of occurring, any remaining unrecognized gain or loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified into earnings in the period(s) during which the forecasted interest payments affect earnings.  Amounts reclassified into earnings and interest receivable or payable under designated interest rate swaps are reported in interest expense.  The Corporation does not expect any unrealized losses related to cash flow hedges to be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months.  

Loan swaps.  The Bank also enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Bank simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and offsetting terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate. These back-to-back loan swaps are derivative financial instruments and are reported at fair value in “other assets” and “other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Changes in the fair value of loan swaps are recorded in other noninterest expense and sum to zero because of the offsetting terms of swaps with borrowers and swaps with dealer counterparties.

Mortgage banking.  The mortgage banking segment enters into IRLCs with customers to originate loans for which the interest rates are determined (or “locked”) prior to funding. The mortgage banking segment is exposed to interest rate risk through fixed-rate IRLCs and mortgage loans from the time that interest rates are locked until the loans are sold in the secondary market. The mortgage banking segment mitigates this interest rate risk by either (1) entering into forward sales contracts with investors at the time that interest rates are locked for mortgage loans to be delivered on a best efforts basis or (2) entering into forward sales contracts for TBA securities until it can enter into forward sales contracts with investors for mortgage loans to be delivered on a mandatory basis. IRLCs, forward sales of loans and forward sales of TBA securities are derivative financial instruments and are reported at fair value in other assets and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Changes in the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives are recorded as a component of gains on sales of loans.

At June 30, 2020, the mortgage banking segment had $232.97 million of IRLCs and $166.01 million of unpaid principal on mortgage loans held for sale for which it managed interest rate risk using best-efforts forward sales contracts for $398.98 million in mortgage loans.  Also at June 30, 2020, the mortgage banking segment had $14.90 million of IRLCs and $8.84 million of unpaid principal on mortgage loans held for sale for which it managed interest rate risk using forward sales of $20.75 million of TBA securities and mandatory-delivery forward sales contracts for $1.60 million in mortgage loans.  

At December 31, 2019, the mortgage banking segment had $63.35 million of IRLCs and $65.77 million of unpaid principal on mortgage loans held for sale for which it managed interest rate risk using best-efforts forward sales contracts for $129.12 million in mortgage loans.  Also at December 31, 2019, the mortgage banking segment had $11.72 million of IRLCs and $21.98 million of unpaid principal on mortgage loans held for sale for which it managed interest rate risk using forward

The following tables summarize key elements of the Corporation’s derivative instruments other than forward sales of mortgage loans.  The fair values of forward sales of mortgage loans were not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

The Corporation is required to maintain cash collateral with dealer counterparties for derivative instruments in a loss position, subject to certain thresholds and offsets. At June 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019, $11.79 million and $2.52 million, respectively, of cash collateral was maintained with dealer counterparties and was included in “Other assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion supplements and provides information about the major components of the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of the Corporation. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition to current and historical information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to our future business, financial condition or results of operations. For a description of certain factors that may have a significant impact on our future business, financial condition or results of operations, see “Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this discussion and analysis.

OVERVIEW

Our primary financial goals are to maximize the Corporation’s earnings and to deploy capital in profitable growth initiatives that will enhance long-term shareholder value. We track three primary financial performance measures in order to assess the level of success in achieving these goals: (1) return on average assets (ROA), (2) return on average equity (ROE), and (3) growth in earnings.  In addition to these financial performance measures, we track the performance of the Corporation’s three principal business segments: community banking, mortgage banking, and consumer finance.  We also actively manage our capital through growth, dividends and share repurchases, while considering the need to maintain a strong capital position.

Financial Performance Measures

Consolidated net income for the Corporation was $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2020, or $1.03 per share, compared with consolidated net income of $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2019, or $1.69 per share.  Consolidated net income for the Corporation was $7.4 million for the first half of 2020, or $2.01 per share, compared with consolidated net income of $9.6 million for the first half of 2019, or $2.77 per share.  The Corporation’s annualized ROE and ROA were 8.41 percent and 0.77 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2020, compared to 15.07 percent and 1.51 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2019.  The Corporation’s annualized ROE and ROA were 8.34 percent and 0.78 percent, respectively, for the first half of 2020, compared to 12.54 percent and 1.26 percent, respectively, for the first half of 2019.

Consolidated net income for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 was affected by certain items that management does not expect to have an ongoing impact on consolidated net income, including merger related expenses incurred in connection with the Corporation’s acquisition of Peoples Bankshares, Incorporated (Peoples), which was completed on January 1, 2020, impairment charges related to branch consolidation, and a change in income tax law related to the carryback of net operating losses.  Excluding the effects of these items, adjusted net income for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 was $4.0 million, or $1.11 per share and $8.4 million, or $2.30 per share, respectively. Adjusted ROE and adjusted ROA, on an annualized basis were 9.00 percent and 0.82 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2020 and 9.53 percent and 0.89 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2020. There were no adjustments to net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.  Refer to “Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” below, for a reconciliation of adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted ROE and adjusted ROA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Consolidated net income and earnings per share decreased 35.9 percent and 39.1 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2020, and decreased 23.2 percent and 27.4 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019.  Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share decreased 31.4 percent and 34.3 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2020, and decreased 12.3 percent and 17.0 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019.  The decrease in adjusted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 is due primarily to higher provision for loan losses at the community banking and consumer finance segments, lower net interest income and higher operating expenses at the community banking segment and the issuance of 209,871 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of Peoples, partially offset by higher mortgage banking segment net income.  The decrease in adjusted earnings per share for the first

six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019 is due primarily to higher provision for loan losses and higher operating expenses at the community banking segment and the issuance of common stock in connection with the acquisition of Peoples, partially offset by higher net income at the mortgage banking segment and consumer finance segment.

Impact of and Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus and the resulting COVID-19 illness has caused a significant disruption in economic activity worldwide, and has had a significant impact on businesses and consumers in our market areas and on our results of operations, which the Corporation expects to continue.  Many businesses have temporarily closed or reduced their availability since the beginning of the pandemic; and while many people have returned to work, the U.S. unemployment rate was 11.1 percent in June after reaching 14.7 percent in April.  There remains substantial uncertainty about critical factors that may affect the economy and employment, including a rising trend in new cases of COVID-19 in certain parts the U.S., including Virginia; potential re-tightening of policies that have allowed businesses to open; the continuation, duration and extent of government stimulus efforts, including enhanced unemployment benefits and direct payments; and issues related to the availability of childcare and reopening of schools.

The COVID-19 pandemic presents significant risks and uncertainties in our businesses; however, at this time we cannot determine the ultimate impact of this pandemic on the results of operations of the Corporation.  The federal government and state and local governments have responded to this crisis with unprecedented relief efforts and economic stimulus.  We cannot predict the duration or extent of government intervention during and following the pandemic or the effect it will have on the Corporation.  We believe that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our results of operations may be impacted by elevated loan losses, net interest margin compression, falling demand for loans and potential impairments of securities available for sale and goodwill.

Risks to Results of Operations

Elevated loan losses. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on businesses and consumers in our market areas.  Many businesses have temporarily closed or faced declines in revenue since the beginning of the pandemic as consumers have been at times instructed to stay at home.  This disruption has caused employers to lay off or reduce compensation of certain employees, and people who have become ill may not receive compensation while they are not able to work, resulting in many households facing reduced income.  Commercial and consumer borrowers affected by the pandemic may not be able to make timely payments on loans, which may lead to an increase in delinquencies or defaults and may ultimately result in increases in net charge-offs and provision for loan losses.  Furthermore, collateral values may decline as a result of decreased economic activity and increased uncertainty during the crisis, which may contribute to an increase in loan losses during and after the pandemic.

In the second quarter and first six months of 2020, the Corporation recorded additional provision for loan losses of approximately $3.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively, as a result of asset quality deterioration that is expected to arise as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruption.  Management continues to monitor changes in economic conditions and asset quality resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and believes that additional provision for loan losses may be required in future periods.

Net interest margin compression.  Since December 31, 2019, the Federal Reserve Bank’s Federal Open Market Committee has reduced its benchmark interest rate target to near zero by announcing rate cuts of 50 basis points on March 3, 2020 and 100 basis points on March 15, 2020.  Treasury yields for all maturities are also lower since the outbreak of COVID-19.  Lower market interest rates will result in lower average yields on all classes of earning assets.  While we also expect that average costs of deposits and borrowings will decrease, this may occur slowly based on the repricing of time deposits at maturity, and the effect on net interest margin may not offset the effect of lower yields on earning assets.

Falling demand for loans. As businesses and consumers have been affected by the pandemic, new investment and consumer spending may decline, resulting in lower demand for loans.  Our recent performance and strategic planning have depended in part on growth in lending, and we have invested in expanding our commercial lending team.  While loans outstanding at the community banking segment grew during the second quarter of 2020, which included loans originated

38

Table of Contents

under the Paycheck Protection Program, there can be no assurance that loan growth will continue during or after the pandemic.  Lower demand for loans in our markets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with lower interest rates on new loans, may negatively impact interest income from loans.

Impairment of securities and goodwill.  A broad decrease in economic activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to affect tax revenues of states and political subdivisions, and increased uncertainty has resulted in volatility in the market price of investments.  The Corporation holds securities issued by states and political subdivisions that may experience shortfalls in general revenues or an inability to repay obligations when due as a result of the crisis, and there is a risk that these securities may become impaired, which would have a negative impact on the Corporation’s results of operations.  Additionally, depending on the severity of the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation’s goodwill may become impaired, which would have a negative impact on the Corporation’s results of operations.

Our Response to the Crisis

The Corporation has taken steps in various areas of our businesses in response to the changes in circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have adapted our technology and processes to allow a substantial portion of administrative personnel to work remotely beginning in mid-March 2020.  During the second quarter of 2020, some employees have returned to our offices on a full-time or part-time basis, but many continue to work remotely as we utilize our administrative offices at no more than 50 percent of normal staffing.
We have implemented safe and healthy practices of social distancing and enhanced cleaning to protect our employees and customers as we continue to operate and serve our communities. These practices include closing the lobbies of our Bank branches except for appointments.
Bank customers continue to have access to our products and services through our online and mobile platforms, ATMs and drive-thru facilities, as well as by appointment in our branch lobbies.
We have originated 1,210 loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) of the Small Business Administration (SBA) as of June 30, 2020, with an aggregate principal amount of $88.9 million.
We are working proactively with borrowers affected by the crisis, including offering short-term loan modifications, such as payment deferrals or interest only periods of up to six months, for borrowers who are temporarily unable to make loan payments.  As of June 30, 2020, we have provided payment deferrals or interest only periods of less than six months on 200 loans with aggregate balances of $94.9 million.

Principal Business Segments

An overview of the financial results for each of the Corporation’s principal segments is presented below. A more detailed discussion is included in the section “Results of Operations.”

Community Banking:  The community banking segment reported net income of $68,000 for the second quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2019.  For the first six months of 2020, C&F Bank reported net income of $638,000, compared to $5.4 million for the first six months of 2019.  Prior to the second quarter of 2020, the community banking segment was referred to as the retail banking segment.  There have been no changes to the composition of the community banking segment.

Community banking segment net income included the effects of the following items which management does not expect to have an ongoing impact on segment income: (1) merger related expenses of $439,000 ($347,000 after income taxes) and $1.3 million ($1.0 million after income taxes) for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively; (2) a write-down of assets of $281,000 ($222,000 after income taxes) for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 related to the planned consolidation of C&F Bank’s main office into a nearby branch and donation of real estate to the Town of West Point, VA expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2020; and (3) income tax benefits of $303,000 in the second quarter and first six months of 2020 arising from a change in tax law enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which changed the tax rate applied to certain net operating losses of Peoples.  The community banking segment expects to

Table of Contents

recover the amount of the asset write-down through cost savings by the end of 2021, with estimated annual cost savings of approximately $220,000.

In addition to the effects of these items that are not expected to have an ongoing impact on segment earnings, community banking segment net income decreased for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 primarily as a result of (1) higher provision for loan losses, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a disruptive economic impact in the markets that C&F Bank serves, even as many businesses have reopened, (2) higher operating expenses, including assuming certain operating costs of Peoples and investing in technology infrastructure to support continued growth; (3) lower yields on loans, securities, and interest-earning deposits with other banks; (4) higher average balances of interest-bearing deposit accounts; and (5) lower service charges on deposit accounts.  These factors were partially offset by higher average loans outstanding, which contributed to higher interest income for the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, and higher non-interest income from debit card interchange fees.  The community banking segment completed the integration of the systems and processes of Peoples Community Bank in the second quarter of 2020 and expects that its cost savings following the acquisition of Peoples will be substantially realized by the end of 2020.  

Average loans increased $228.5 million or 29.6 percent for the second quarter of 2020 and $187.7 million or 24.3 percent for the first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019.  These increases included $102.8 million and $110.7 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, of average balances of  loans acquired in the acquisition of Peoples, and $67.8 million and $33.9 million, respectively, of average balances of loans originated under the PPP. The increase in average loans outstanding for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 excluding the acquisition of Peoples and the PPP was due primarily to growth in the commercial real estate and commercial business lending segments of the loan portfolio.  Average loan yields were lower for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 due to repricing of variable rate loans, lower average yields on new lending, including PPP loans, and lower interest income on purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans.  The recognition of interest income on PCI loans is based on management’s expectation of future payments of principal and interest. Earlier than expected repayments of certain PCI loans resulted in the recognition of additional interest income in the first six months of 2020 and 2019. Interest income recognized on PCI loans was $729,000 and $1.7 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $1.8 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively.

C&F Bank’s total nonperforming assets were $2.8 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $2.6 million at December 31, 2019. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2020 included $1.7 million in nonaccrual loans, compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2019 and included $1.1 million in other real estate owned at both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  Nonaccrual loans were comprised primarily of residential mortgages and equity lines at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  The community banking segment recorded provision for loan losses of $1.4 million and $2.4 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, compared to $110,000 for both the second quarter and first six months of 2019, due primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we anticipate that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses may be required in future periods.  

Mortgage Banking:  The mortgage banking segment reported net income of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2019. For the first six months of 2020, C&F Mortgage Corporation reported net income of $3.9 million, compared to net income of $1.7 million for the first six months of 2019.

The increase in net income of the mortgage banking segment for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 was due primarily to higher gains on sales of loans and mortgage banking fee income, resulting from record loan production, and higher fee income for providing mortgage origination functions to third parties, which were partially offset by higher compensation expense related to higher loan volume. Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment were $448.3 million and $708.6 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, compared to $246.9 million and $385.6 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively.  Loan production for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 was the highest reported by the mortgage banking segment for any quarter and for the first six months of any calendar year in the Corporation’s history.  Lower interest rates on mortgage loans have contributed to an increase in volume in the broader mortgage industry in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year.  Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking

segment during the second quarter of 2020 for refinancings and home purchases were $199.6 million and $248.7 million, respectively, compared to $32.1 million and $214.8 million, respectively, during the second quarter of 2019.  Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment during the first six months of 2020 for refinancings and home purchases were $335.4 million and $373.2 million, respectively, compared to $54.0 million and $331.6 million, respectively, during the first six months of 2019. Gains on sales of loans, which were higher primarily as a result of higher mortgage loan production at the mortgage banking segment, were impacted unfavorably by a higher mix of refinancings, which have lower margins than home purchases, and by expenses related to early repayment of loans sold.

Consumer Finance:  The consumer finance segment reported net income of $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2019.  For the first six months of 2020, C&F Finance Company reported net income of $3.6 million, compared to net income of $3.2 million for the first six months of 2019.

 

Favorable factors affecting net income of the consumer finance segment for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 included a decrease in interest expense due to lower average cost of borrowings. Unfavorable factors affecting net income of the consumer finance segment for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 included lower interest income from loans, due primarily to lower average yields, and higher provision for loan losses in the second quarter and first six months of 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruption.  The average yield on loans for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 was lower compared to the same periods of 2019 due to continued competition in the non-prime automobile loan business and the consumer finance segment’s pursuing growth in higher quality, lower yielding loans, which include prime marine and recreational vehicle (RV) loans.

The annualized net charge-off ratio for the first six months of 2020 decreased to 1.99 percent from 3.15 percent for the first six months of 2019. The decline reflects a lower number of charge-offs during 2020 due to (1) improvement in loan performance and (2) C&F Finance Company offering a higher number of payment deferrals to borrowers impacted by the pandemic.  Improvement in loan performance has resulted from C&F Finance Company continuing to purchase higher quality loans as well as borrowers benefitting from the government’s stimulus measures in response to the pandemic.  C&F Finance Company offers payment deferrals at times to non-prime automobile borrowers as a management technique to achieve higher ultimate cash collections.  The average amount deferred on a monthly basis during the second quarter and first six months of 2020 were 5.58 percent and 4.05 percent of non-prime automobile loans outstanding, compared to 1.78 percent and 1.91 percent during the same periods in 2019.  At June 30, 2020, total delinquent loans, which does not include loans that have been granted a payment deferral, as a percentage of total loans was 2.05 percent, compared to 4.17 percent at December 31, 2019 and 3.49 percent at June 30, 2019.  The allowance for loan losses was $22.6 million, or 7.52 percent of total loans at June 30, 2020, compared to $21.8 million, or 6.96 percent of total loans at December 31, 2019. The increase in the level of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans reflects losses that are probable as a result of the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.  We anticipate that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses may be required in future periods.

Merger Related Expenses.  In the second quarter and first six months of 2020, the Corporation recorded merger related expenses of $439,000 ($347,000 after income taxes) and $1.4 million ($1.1 million after taxes), respectively, in connection with its acquisition of Peoples, of which $439,000 ($347,000 after income taxes) and $1.3 million ($1.0 million after income taxes) was allocated to the community banking segment and the remainder was recorded as a holding company expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the Corporation has recorded aggregate merger related expenses of $2.1 million ($1.8 million after income taxes) and expects that any further merger related expenses incurred in future periods will not be significant to the Corporation as a whole.

Capital Management. Total equity was $183.3 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $165.3 million at December 31, 2019. Capital growth resulted primarily from earnings for the first six months of 2020 and the issuance of $11.6 million of common equity in connection with the acquisition of Peoples on January 1, 2020, which was offset in part by share repurchases of $618,000 and cash dividends declared of $0.76 per share during the first six months of 2020. For the second quarter of 2020, the Corporation’s cash dividend equated to a payout ratio of 37.0 percent of second quarter earnings per share. The Corporation cannot predict what impact the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately have on its earnings and capital levels.  At this time, the Corporation expects to continue paying a regular quarterly dividend.  The Board of Directors of the Corporation continually reviews the amount of cash dividends per share and the resulting

41

Table of Contents

dividend payout ratio in light of changes in economic conditions (including the impact of COVID-19), current and future capital requirements and expected future earnings.

In May 2019, the Corporation’s Board of Directors authorized a program, effective June 1, 2019, to repurchase up to $5.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock (the Repurchase Program) through May 31, 2020.  The Corporation made no repurchases of its common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2020.  Repurchases under the Corporation’s share repurchase program for the first six months of 2020 were $355,000. The Corporation had made aggregate common stock repurchases of $2.1 million under the Repurchase Program when the program expired on May 31, 2020.  The Repurchase Program has not been renewed or extended at this time. At June 30, 2020, the book value per share of the Corporation’s common stock was $50.10, and tangible book value per share was $42.52, compared to $48.07 and $43.61, respectively, at December 31, 2019.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions. Those accounting policies with the greatest uncertainty and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments affecting the application of these policies, and the greatest likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions, or using different assumptions, are described below.

Allowance for Loan Losses: We establish the allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe that the collection of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries of losses previously charged against the allowance are credited to the allowance. The allowance represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans while taking into consideration such factors as trends in delinquencies and charge-offs for relevant periods of time, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay and the value of collateral, overall portfolio quality and review of specific potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. 

Impairment of Loans: We consider a loan impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. We do not consider a loan impaired during a period of delay in payment if we expect the ultimate collection of all amounts due. We measure impairment on a loan-by-loan basis based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. We maintain a valuation allowance to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. All troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are also considered impaired loans and are evaluated individually. A TDR occurs when we agree to significantly modify the original terms of a loan by granting a concession due to the deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower.  For more information see the section titled “Asset Quality” within Item 2.

Loans Acquired in a Business Combination:  Acquired loans are classified as either (i) purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans or (ii) purchased performing loans and are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition.

PCI loans are those for which there is evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Corporation will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. When determining fair value, PCI loans are aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics as of the date of acquisition such as loan type, date of origination, and evidence of credit quality deterioration such as internal risk grades and past due and nonaccrual status. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the “nonaccretable difference.” Any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the “accretable yield” and is recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

42

Table of Contents

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our estimate of cash flows expected to be collected on PCI loans. Estimates of cash flows for PCI loans require significant judgment. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent significant increases in cash flows may result in a reversal of post-acquisition provision for loan losses or a transfer from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield that increases interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool(s) of loans. Disposals of loans, which may include sale of loans to third parties, receipt of payments in full or in part from the borrower or foreclosure of the collateral, result in removal of the loan from the PCI loan portfolio at its carrying amount.

PCI loans are not classified nonperforming loans by the Corporation at the time they are acquired, regardless of whether they had been classified as nonperforming by the previous holder of such loans, and they will not be classified as nonperforming so long as, at quarterly re-estimation periods, we believe we will fully collect the new carrying value of the pools of loans.

The Corporation accounts for purchased performing loans using the contractual cash flows method of recognizing discount accretion based on the acquired loans’ contractual cash flows. Purchased performing loans are recorded at fair value, including a credit discount. The fair value discount is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated lives of the loans. There is no allowance for loan losses established at the acquisition date for purchased performing loans. A provision for loan losses may be required for any deterioration in these loans in future periods.

Goodwill: The Corporation's goodwill was recognized in connection with past business combinations and is reported at the community banking segment and the consumer finance segment. The Corporation reviews the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators exist. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Corporation may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then no further testing is required and the goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the Corporation elects to bypass the qualitative assessment or if we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists. In the last evaluation of goodwill at the community banking segment and the consumer finance segment, which was the annual evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Corporation concluded that no impairment existed based on an assessment of qualitative factors.  As the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic disruption has caused a recession and resulted in recognition of higher provisions for loan losses and a decrease in net income of the community banking segment and consumer finance segment, management considered the impact of the pandemic on goodwill and determined that a triggering event had not occurred as of June 30, 2020.  Depending on the severity and duration of the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on the Corporation, management may determine that goodwill should be evaluated for impairment.

Income Taxes: Determining the Corporation’s effective tax rate requires judgment. The Corporation’s net deferred tax asset is determined annually based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. In addition, there may be transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax outcomes are uncertain and the Corporation’s tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Although we believe that estimates related to income taxes are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome will not be materially different than that which is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

For further information concerning accounting policies, refer to Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” under the heading “Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

The following table shows the average balance sheets, the amounts of interest earned on earning assets, with related yields, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, with related rates, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.  Loans include loans held for sale. Loans placed on a nonaccrual status are included in the balances and are included in the computation of yields, but had no material effect. Accretion of fair value purchase adjustments related to business combinations are included in the computation of yields on loans and investments and on the costs of deposits and borrowings. The accretion contributed approximately 18 basis points to the yield on loans and 14 basis points to both the yield on interest earning assets and the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2020, compared to approximately 45 basis points to the yield on loans and 36 basis points to both the yield on interest earning assets and the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2019.  The accretion contributed approximately 27 basis points to the yield on loans and 21 basis points to both the yield on interest earning assets and the net interest margin for the first six months of 2020, compared to approximately 31 basis points to the yield on loans and 24 basis points to both the yield on interest earning assets and the net interest margin for the first six months of 2019.  Fees collected on PPP loans are recognized net of direct origination costs over the life of the loans and contributed 10 basis points and 6 basis points to the yield on loans for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, and contributed 9 and 4 basis points for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, to both the yield on earning assets and net interest margin.  Interest on tax-exempt loans and securities is presented on a taxable-equivalent basis (which converts the income on loans and investments for which no income taxes are paid to the equivalent yield as if income taxes were paid) using the federal corporate income tax rate of 21 percent that was applicable for all periods presented.

Interest income and expense are affected by fluctuations in interest rates, by changes in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and by the interaction of rate and volume factors. The following table shows the direct causes of the period-to-period changes in the components of net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis. The Corporation calculates the rate and volume variances using a formula prescribed by the SEC. Rate/volume variances, the third element in the calculation, are not shown separately in the table, but are allocated to the rate and volume variances in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of each.

Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $20.4 million, compared to $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the first six months of 2020 was $41.2 million, compared to $40.6 million for the first half of 2019.  Annualized net interest margin decreased 114 basis points to 4.61 percent for the second quarter of 2020 and decreased 95 basis points to 4.76 percent for the first six months of 2020, relative to the same periods in 2019, due primarily to lower average yields on loans.  The yield on interest-earning assets and cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 140 basis points and 32 basis points, respectively, for the second quarter of 2020 and decreased by 105 basis points and 14 basis points, respectively for the first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019.  Average earning assets grew by $331.7 million and $304.3 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to the acquisition of Peoples on January 1, 2020 as well as growth in loans, including PPP loans, and securities, funded by deposit growth.

Average loans, which includes both loans held for investment and loans held for sale, increased $306.5 million to $1.4 billion for the second quarter of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, and increased $255.0 million to $1.4 billion

for the first six months of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Average loans held for investment at the community banking segment increased $228.5 million, or 29.6 percent, for the second quarter of 2020, and increased $187.7 million, or 24.3 percent for the first six months of 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019.  These increases included $102.8 million and $110.7 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, of average balances of loans acquired in the acquisition of Peoples, and $67.8 million and $33.9 million, respectively, of average balances of loans originated under the PPP. The remaining increase in average loans outstanding at the community banking segment for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 was due primarily to growth in the commercial real estate and commercial business lending segments of the loan portfolio. Average loans held for investment at the consumer finance segment decreased $2.2 million, or 0.7 percent, for the second quarter of 2020, and increased $5.9 million, or 2.0 percent, for the first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods of 2019 as average marine and RV loans increased due to the continued expansion of the consumer finance segment’s purchases of those loan contracts and average automobile loans decreased.  Average loans held for sale at the mortgage banking segment increased $78.8 million, or 134.8 percent, for the second quarter of 2020, and increased $60.3 million, or 140.1 percent, for the first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, due to higher loan production.

The overall yield on average loans decreased 168 basis points to 6.19 percent for the second quarter of 2020 and decreased 118 basis points to 6.61 percent for the first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods of 2019 due primarily to lower market interest rates, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, and loans originated under the PPP, which had lower yields relative to other loans. Average loans at the community banking and mortgage banking segments increased as a percentage of total loans, while average loans at the consumer finance segment, which has higher average yields, decreased as a percentage of total loans. In addition, yields at the consumer finance segment were lower as it has continued to pursue growth in higher quality, lower yielding loans including prime marine and RV loans. Lower interest income on PCI loans at the community banking segment for the second quarter and first half of 2020 as compared to the same periods of 2019 also contributed to the decrease in yield. While yields on loans originated under the PPP were lower than the average yield of other loans at the community banking segment during the second quarter and first six months of 2020, unrecognized net deferred fees of $3.4 million at June 30, 2020 may result in higher yields in future periods as they are recognized over the remaining life of those loans, a portion of which are expected to be repaid by the SBA prior to maturity in accordance with the forgiveness provisions of the PPP.  

Average securities available for sale increased $27.6 million and $7.7 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019 due primarily to the acquisition of Peoples and higher purchases of securities, partially offset by net declines during 2019 from sales, maturities and calls. The average yield on the securities portfolio on a taxable-equivalent basis decreased 43 and 31 basis points for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, due to purchases of securities in 2020 at lower average yields relative to the average yield of the portfolio as a whole.

Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks, consisting primarily of excess cash reserves maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank, decreased $2.4 million and increased $41.6 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. The average yield on interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased 205 and 138 basis points for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019, due to lower average rates on excess cash reserves, partially offset by an increase in purchased time deposits.  The Federal Reserve Bank decreased the interest rate on excess cash reserve balances from 2.35 percent at June 30, 2019 to 1.55 percent by the end of 2019, and then further decreased the interest rate to 0.10 percent by the end of the second quarter of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Average money market, savings and interest-bearing demand deposits increased $127.3 million and $109.9 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, and average time deposits increased $109.3 million and $126.1 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, due primarily to the acquisition of Peoples.  The increases in average money market, savings and interest bearing-demand deposits included $58.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $68.5 million for the first six months of 2020, and the increases in average time deposits included $78.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $77.9 million for the first six months of 2020, related to the acquisition of Peoples. Deposit growth was also impacted by the effect of PPP loans and direct government payments received by depositors. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased ten and increased three basis points for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, as offered interest rates increased in

48

Table of Contents

the second half of 2019 and decreased in the first six months of 2020.  Changes in the cost of money market, savings and interest-bearing demand deposits take effect immediately upon a change in rates, but changes in the average cost of time deposits lag changes in pricing based on the repricing of time deposits at maturity.

Average borrowings decreased $23.1 million and $8.9 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019 due primarily to the repayment of long-term borrowings partially offset by the assumption of $4.0 million of subordinated debt upon the acquisition of Peoples.  Repayment of long-term borrowings included paying off a revolving bank line of credit in the second quarter of 2020 using excess cash. The average cost of borrowings decreased 110 and 71 basis points during the second quarter and first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, because of decreases in short-term interest rates, to which variable-rate borrowings at the consumer finance segment are indexed.

The Corporation believes that its net interest margin may be affected in future periods by several factors that are difficult to predict, including (1) changes in interest rates, which may depend on the severity of adverse economic conditions, the timing and extent of any economic recovery, and the extent of government stimulus measures, which are inherently uncertain, (2) possible changes in the composition of earning assets which may result from decreased loan demand as a result of the current economic environment (3) accretion of purchase discounts on loans related to acquisitions, which is included in yields on loans and may fluctuate based on the timing of repayment, (4) the repricing of  higher-rate time deposits and borrowings as they mature to lower rates, which may occur at a slower rate than the repricing of interest bearing assets and (5) the recognition of net deferred fees on PPP loans, which is subject to the timing of repayment or forgiveness.

Total noninterest income increased $3.6 million, or 44.2 percent, in the second quarter of 2020, compared to the second quarter of 2019, and increased $3.3 million, or 21.4 percent, in the first six months of 2020, compared to the first six months of 2019.  This increase in noninterest income was due primarily to (1) higher mortgage loan production at the mortgage banking segment, which resulted in an increase in gains on sales of loans, mortgage banking fee income and  fee income for providing mortgage origination functions to third parties (included in other income), as lower mortgage loan interest rates made mortgage products more attractive to consumers and contributed to an increase in volume in the mortgage industry, (2) an increase in wealth management services income and (3) an increase in debit card interchange income at the community banking segment, partially offset by (1) asset write-downs at the community banking segment of $281,000 and $579,000 in the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively, (2) lower  service charges on deposit accounts at the community banking segment due to fewer overdraft fees charged and (3) unrealized losses at the community banking segment on investments in small business investment company funds of $124,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2020.  Asset write-downs at the community banking segment included $298,000 of merger related costs recognized in the first quarter of 2020 upon disposition of assets acquired from Peoples and $281,000 recognized in the second quarter of 2020 related to branch consolidation.  Noninterest income was also affected by an increase of $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2020 and a decrease of $1.6 million for the first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, related to unrealized gains and losses in the Corporation’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan, which are included in “Other income (loss), net” in the “Other and Eliminations” column in the tables above.  Unrealized gains and losses on the Corporation’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan are offset by expenses, as discussed below.  Gains on sales of loans, which were higher primarily as a result of higher mortgage loan production at the mortgage banking segment, were impacted unfavorably by a higher mix of refinancings, which have lower margins than home purchases, and by expenses related to early repayment of loans sold.

Total noninterest expenses increased $4.2 million, or 21.7 percent, in the second quarter of 2020, compared to the second quarter of 2019, and increased $4.7 million, or 11.9 percent, in the first six months of 2020, compared to the first six months of 2019.  This increase in noninterest expenses was due primarily to (1) merger related expenses associated with the acquisition of Peoples, (2) the assumption of certain operating costs of Peoples Community Bank at the community banking segment, included primarily in salaries and employee benefits and data processing expenses, (3) increases in salaries and employee benefits expense associated with (a) C&F Bank adding new talent to its commercial lending team in the Richmond and Charlottesville markets at the community banking segment during 2019 and (b) higher mortgage loan production at the mortgage banking segment, resulting in higher commissions and increased personnel, (4) higher data processing expenses associated with investing in technology infrastructure to support continued growth (5) higher expense for loan processing at the mortgage banking segment as a result of higher mortgage loan production and (6) provision for indemnifications at the mortgage banking segment, included in “Other expenses,” of $156,000 and $163,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, compared to zero in 2019.  Noninterest expense was also affected by an increase of $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2020 and a decrease of $1.6 million for the first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, in salaries and employee benefits expense related to unrealized gains and losses in the Corporation’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan, which are shown in the “Other and Eliminations” column in the tables above.

Merger related expenses for the second quarter of 2020 were $439,000, of which $50,000 was salaries and employee benefits expense, $263,000 was data processing expense, $81,000 was occupancy expense, $22,000 was professional fees expense and $23,000 was included in other noninterest expenses, and all of which were allocated to the community banking segment.  Merger related expenses for the first six months of 2020 were $1.4 million, including $1.3 million at the community banking segment, of which $501,000 was data processing expense, $236,000 was professional fees expense, $119,000 was salaries and employee benefits expense, $81,000 was occupancy expense, $61,000 was included in all other noninterest expenses, and $298,000 was a loss on disposition of assets and was recorded in noninterest income.  Merger related expenses for the first six months of 2020 also included $100,000 at the holding company, shown in the “Other and Eliminations” column, above, which was professional fees expense.  There were no merger related expenses for the first six months of 2019.

In connection with the consolidation of C&F Bank’s main office in West Point, VA, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2020, the community banking segment expects to realize annualized cost savings of approximately $220,000 by the second quarter of 2021.

Income Taxes

The Corporation’s consolidated effective income tax rate was 20.7 percent and 20.9 percent for the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The lower effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 resulted primarily from income tax benefits of $303,000 arising from a change in income tax law enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which changed the tax rate applied to certain net operating losses of Peoples, partially offset by higher pre-tax income at the mortgage banking and consumer finance segments, which are subject to state income tax, and a limitation on the deductibility of executive compensation.

ASSET QUALITY

The allowance for loan losses represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses increases the allowance, and loans charged off, net of recoveries, reduce the allowance. Table 5 summarizes the allowance activity for the periods indicated:

Loans by credit quality indicators are presented in Table 7 below.  The characteristics of these loan ratings are as follows:

Pass rated loans are to persons or business entities with an acceptable financial condition, appropriate collateral margins, appropriate cash flow to service the existing loan, and an appropriate leverage ratio.  The borrower has paid all obligations as agreed and it is expected that this type of payment history will continue.  When necessary, acceptable personal guarantors support the loan.

Special mention loans have a specific identified weakness in the borrower’s operations and in the borrower’s ability to generate positive cash flow on a sustained basis. The borrower’s recent payment history may be characterized by late payments.  The Corporation’s risk exposure is mitigated by collateral supporting the loan.  The collateral is considered to be well-margined, well maintained, accessible and readily marketable.

Substandard loans are considered to have specific and well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the viability of the Corporation’s credit extension.  The payment history for the loan has been inconsistent and the expected or projected primary repayment source may be inadequate to service the loan.  The estimated net liquidation value of the collateral pledged and/or ability of the personal guarantor(s) to pay the loan may not adequately protect the Corporation.  There is a distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies associated with the loan are not corrected in the near term. A substandard loan would not automatically meet the Corporation’s definition of impaired unless the loan is significantly past due and the borrower’s performance and financial condition provide evidence that it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due.

Substandard nonaccrual loans have the same characteristics as substandard loans; however, they have a nonaccrual classification because it is probable that the Corporation will not be able to collect all amounts due.

55

Table of Contents

Doubtful rated loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan that is classified substandard but with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high.
Loss rated loans are not considered collectible under normal circumstances and there is no realistic expectation for any future payment on the loan. Loss rated loans are fully charged off.

The increase in loans rated Special Mention at June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 is related primarily to two commercial real estate loans which were rated Pass at December 31, 2019.  Each loan was classified as Special Mention at June 30, 2020 partially as a result of effects on the borrowers of the COVID-19 pandemic.

1Acquired loans are tracked in two separate categories – “purchased performing” and “purchased credit impaired.” The remaining discount for the purchased performing loans was $2.4 million at June 30, 2020 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2019. The remaining discount for the purchased credit impaired loans was $10.7 million at June 30, 2020 and $5.6 million at December 31, 2019.  The increase in remaining discount on purchased performing loans and purchased credit impaired loans from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is due primarily to loans acquired in the acquisition of Peoples.
2OREO includes $835,000 at both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 related to the land and buildings of the Bellgrade branch, which was consolidated into a nearby branch in 2019.
3Nonaccrual loans include nonaccrual TDRs of $459,000 at June 30, 2020 and $254,000 at December 31, 2019.
4The ratio of ALL to total loans, excluding purchased credit impaired loans, includes purchased performing loans and loans originated under the PPP for which no allowance for loan losses is required.  The ratio of ALL to total loans excluding all purchased loans and loans originated under the PPP was 1.59 percent at June 30, 2020 and 1.36 percent at December 31, 2019.

Nonperforming assets of the community banking segment totaled $2.8 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $2.6 million at December 31, 2019. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2020 consisted of $1.1 million in OREO at both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and consisted of $1.7 million in nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2020, compared to $1.5 million in nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2019.  Nonaccrual loans were comprised primarily of residential mortgages and equity lines at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at the community banking segment, excluding PCI loans, at June 30, 2020 decreased to 1.27 percent, compared to 1.32 percent at December 31, 2019, due to the addition of loans in 2020, including purchased performing loans that were recorded at fair value in the acquisition of Peoples and PPP loans, which require no reserve. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans excluding all purchased loans and loans originated under the PPP was 1.59 percent at June 30, 2020, compared to 1.36 percent at December 31, 2019.  The community banking segment recorded provision for loan losses of $1.4 million and $2.4 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2020 due primarily to asset quality issues expected to result from the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruption and loan growth.  We anticipate that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses may be required in future periods as more information becomes available about the economic impacts of this crisis.  

Nonaccrual loans at the consumer finance segment were $369,000 at June 30, 2020, compared to $611,000 at December 31, 2019. Nonaccrual consumer finance loans remain low relative to the allowance for loan losses and the total consumer finance loan portfolio because the consumer finance segment generally initiates repossession of loan collateral once a loan becomes more than 60 days delinquent.  Repossessed vehicles of the consumer finance segment are classified as other assets and consist only of vehicles the Corporation has the legal right to sell.  Prior to the reclassification from loans to repossessed vehicles, the difference between the carrying amount of each loan and the fair value of each vehicle (i.e. the deficiency) is charged against the allowance for loan losses. At June 30, 2020, repossessed vehicles available for sale totaled $265,000, compared to $410,000 at December 31, 2019.

The consumer finance segment’s allowance for loan losses increased $805,000 to $22.6 million at June 30, 2020 from $21.8 million at December 31, 2019, and its provision for loan losses increased $500,000 for the second quarter of 2020 and decreased $245,000 for the first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. Total delinquent loans, which does not include loans that have been granted a payment deferral, as a percentage of total loans decreased to 2.05 percent at June 30, 2020 compared to 4.17 percent at December 31, 2019. The consumer finance segment, at times, offers payment deferrals to non-prime automobile borrowers as a management technique to achieve higher ultimate cash collections on select loan accounts. Payment deferrals may affect the ultimate timing of when an account is charged off. A significant reliance on deferrals as a means of managing collections may result in a lengthening of the loss confirmation period, which would increase expectations of credit losses inherent in the portfolio.  The average amounts deferred on a monthly basis during the second quarter and first six months of 2020 were 5.58 percent and 4.05 percent of non-prime automobile loans outstanding, compared to 1.78 percent and 1.91 percent during the same periods in 2019. Payment deferrals increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 as the COVID-19 pandemic affected the ability of some borrowers to make timely payments.

The annualized net charge-off ratio for the first six months of 2020 decreased to 1.99 percent from 3.15 percent for the first six months of 2019 due to a lower number of charge-offs during the first six months of 2020 as a result of improvement

Table of Contents

in loan performance and the consumer finance segment offering a higher number of payment deferrals to borrowers impacted by the pandemic. Improvement in loan performance has resulted from the consumer finance segment continuing to purchase higher quality loans, including marine and RV loans, as well as borrowers benefitting from the government’s stimulus measures in response to the pandemic. The Corporation can give no assurance as to the continuation of government stimulus measures or the extent to which they will be effective. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans increased to 7.52 percent at June 30, 2020, compared to 6.96 percent at December 31, 2019. The increase in the level of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans reflects losses that are probable as a result of the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.  We anticipate that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses may be required in future periods as more information becomes available about the economic impacts of this crisis.

Impaired Loans

We measure impaired loans either based on fair value of the loan using the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, which is not a fair value measurement. We maintain a valuation allowance to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. TDRs occur when we agree to significantly modify the original terms of a loan by granting a concession due to the deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. These concessions typically are made for loss mitigation purposes and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. TDRs are considered impaired loans.

1Included in nonaccrual loans in Table 8: Nonperforming Assets.
2Included in impaired loans in Table 9: Impaired Loans.

While TDRs are considered impaired loans, not all TDRs are on nonaccrual status.  If a loan was on nonaccrual status at the time of the TDR modification, the loan will remain on nonaccrual status following the modification and may be returned to accrual status based on the Corporation’s policy for returning loans to accrual status. If a loan was accruing prior to being modified as a TDR and if management concludes that the borrower is able to make such modified payments, and there are no other factors or circumstances that would cause management to conclude otherwise, the TDR will remain on an accruing status.

The Corporation has accommodated certain borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic by granting short-term payment deferrals or periods of interest-only payments, including, as of June 30, 2020, 200 loans which had an aggregate balance of $94.9 million and were current at the time of modification.  Generally, a short-term payment deferral does not result in a loan modification being classified as a TDR.  Management cannot predict the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its loan portfolio or the extent of payment deferrals or other modifications that may be granted.  Depending on the severity and duration of the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation may experience an increase in delinquencies that may lead to further loan modifications, including loan modifications that may be classified as TDRs.  For further information concerning loan modifications in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to Table 14 below.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At June 30, 2020, the Corporation had total assets of $2.0 billion, which was an increase of $325.8 million since December 31, 2019. The increase resulted primarily from the acquisition of Peoples on January 1, 2020, which added total assets of $190.6 million, and deposit growth, partially offset by repayment of borrowings.

Beginning in April 2020, the community banking segment originated loans under the PPP which are guaranteed by the SBA, and in some cases borrowers may be eligible to obtain forgiveness of the loans, in which case loans would be repaid by the SBA.  Aggregate fees from the SBA of $3.8 million, net of direct costs, will be recognized in interest income over the life of the loans. As repayment of the loans is guaranteed by the SBA, the community banking segment does not recognize a reserve for PPP loans in its allowance for loan losses.  Table 12 presents information pertaining to loans originated under the PPP.

During the second quarter of 2020, the community banking segment assisted loan customers who experienced difficulty making payments as a result of the pandemic and related economic disruption by offering payment deferrals.  Loan modifications were offered on balances that comprise 9 percent of the balance of total loans of the community banking segment.  These modifications included periods of interest-only payments and periods of complete payment deferral, which represented 39 percent and 61 percent, respectively, of the total modifications offered, based on loan balance.  Loans that were modified in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including modifications offered to borrowers in the industries most sensitive to the impacts of the pandemic, are presented in Table 14.

Investment Securities

The investment portfolio plays a primary role in the management of the Corporation’s interest rate sensitivity. In addition, the portfolio serves as a source of liquidity and is used as needed to meet collateral requirements. The investment portfolio consists of securities available for sale, which may be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, increases in loan demand, general liquidity needs and other similar factors. These securities are carried at estimated fair value. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all securities in the Corporation’s investment portfolio were classified as available for sale.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Corporation’s securities available for sale in dollar amounts at fair value and as a percentage of the Corporation’s total securities available for sale at the dates indicated.

Deposits

The Corporation’s predominant source of funds is depository accounts, which are comprised of demand deposits, savings and money market accounts and time deposits. The Corporation’s deposits are principally provided by individuals and businesses located within the communities served.

During the first six months of 2020, deposits increased $354.5 million to $1.65 billion at June 30, 2020, compared to $1.29 billion at December 31, 2019. This increase resulted from the addition of $171.8 million of deposits in connection with the acquisition of Peoples and deposit growth, which included the effect of PPP loans and direct government payments received by depositors.

The Corporation had $4.6 million in brokered money market and time deposits outstanding at June 30, 2020, compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2019. The source of these brokered deposits is primarily uninvested cash balances held in third-party brokerage sweep accounts. The Corporation uses brokered deposits as a means of diversifying liquidity sources, as opposed to a long-term deposit gathering strategy.

Borrowings

Borrowings decreased to $91.3 million at June 30, 2020 from $161.2 million at December 31, 2019 due primarily to C&F Finance Company amending and repaying its revolving bank line of credit, which had an outstanding balance of $75.0 million at December 31, 2019, and paydowns on FHLB advances, partially offset by fluctuations in repurchase agreements with commercial deposit customers, the assumption of $4.0 million of subordinated debt in connection with the acquisition of Peoples and recording a lease liability in connection with entering into a finance lease in the second quarter of 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis," under the heading "Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements" in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

At June 30, 2020, the mortgage banking segment had $233.0 million of  interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) and $166.0 million of unpaid principal on mortgage loans held for sale for which it managed interest rate risk using best-efforts forward sales contracts for $399.0 million in mortgage loans.  Also at June 30, 2020, the mortgage banking segment had $14.9 million of IRLCs and $8.8 million of unpaid principal on mortgage loans held for sale for which it managed interest rate risk using forward sales of $20.8 million of TBA securities and mandatory-delivery forward sales contracts for $1.6 million in mortgage loans.  

At December 31, 2019, the mortgage banking segment had $63.4 million of IRLCs and $65.8 million of unpaid principal on mortgage loans held for sale for which it managed interest rate risk using best-efforts forward sales contracts for $129.1 million in mortgage loans.  Also at December 31, 2019, the mortgage banking segment had $11.7 million of IRLCs and $22.0 million of unpaid principal on mortgage loans held for sale for which it managed interest rate risk using forward

Table of Contents

sales of $24.0 million of TBA securities and mandatory-delivery forward sales contracts for $6.7 million in mortgage loans.

The Corporation uses derivatives to manage exposure to interest rate risk through the use of interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date with no exchange of underlying principal amounts.

The Corporation has interest rate swaps that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges. The Corporation’s cash flow hedges effectively modify the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting variable rates of interest on $25.0 million of the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes to fixed rates of interest for periods that end between June 2024 and June 2029. The cash flow hedges’ total notional amount is $25.0 million. At June 30, 2020, the cash flow hedges had a fair value of $2.3 million, which is recorded in other liabilities.  The net gain/loss on the cash flow hedges is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period(s) during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.

The Corporation also enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs.  The Corporation simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms.  The net effect of these interest rate swaps and the related loans is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate.  At June 30, 2020, the total notional amount of the interest rate swaps related to these loans was $170.6 million and the interest rate swaps had a net fair value of zero, with $9.7 million recognized in other assets and $9.7 million recognized in other liabilities.  These swaps are not designated as hedging instruments; therefore, changes in fair value are recorded in other noninterest expense.

The Corporation’s contracts with dealer counterparties for interest rate swaps and forward sales of TBA securities require the Corporation to post collateral for derivative instruments in a loss position, subject to certain thresholds and offsets.  At June 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019, $11.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of cash collateral was maintained with dealer counterparties and was included in “Other assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2020, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis," under the heading “Table 20: Contractual Obligations” in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Liquidity

The objective of the Corporation’s liquidity management is to ensure the continuous availability of funds to satisfy the credit needs of our customers and the demands of our depositors, creditors and investors. Stable core deposits and a strong capital position are the components of a solid foundation for the Corporation’s liquidity position. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Corporation include cash flows from operations, loan payments and payoffs, deposit growth, maturities, calls and sales of securities, the issuance of brokered certificates of deposit and the capacity to borrow additional funds.

Liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits at other banks and nonpledged securities available for sale, totaled $204.85 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $227.7 million at December 31, 2019. The Corporation’s funding sources, including capacity, amount outstanding and amount available at June 30, 2020 are presented in Table 16.

We have no reason to believe these arrangements will not be renewed at maturity.  During the six months ending June 30, 2020, the Corporation pledged additional loans as collateral in order to increase available liquidity at the Federal Reserve Bank that had been unpledged as of December 31, 2019.  Additional loans and securities are available that can be pledged as collateral for future borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank or the FHLB above the current lendable collateral value. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity may be affected by numerous factors, including economic conditions nationally and in our markets. Depending on our liquidity levels, our capital position, conditions in the capital markets, our business operations and initiatives, and other factors, we may from time to time consider the issuance of debt, equity or other securities or other possible capital market transactions, the proceeds of which could provide additional liquidity for our operations.

As a result of the Corporation’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Corporation maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its operational requirements and contractual obligations.

The regulatory risk-based capital amounts presented above include:  (1) common equity tier 1 capital (CET1) which consists principally of common stock (including surplus) and retained earnings with adjustments for goodwill, intangible assets and deferred tax assets; (2) Tier 1 capital which consists principally of CET1 plus the Corporation’s “grandfathered” trust preferred securities; and (3) Tier 2 capital which consists principally of Tier 1 capital plus a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses.  In addition, the Corporation has made the one-time irrevocable election to continue treating accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) under regulatory standards that were in place prior to the Basel III Final Rule in order to eliminate volatility of regulatory capital that can result from fluctuations in AOCI and the inclusion of AOCI in regulatory capital, as would otherwise be required under the Basel III Capital Rule.  For additional information

66

Table of Contents

about the Basel III Final Rules, see “Item 1. Business” under the heading “Regulation and Supervision” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” under the heading “Note 16: Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions” in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In addition to the regulatory risk-based capital amounts presented above, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer of additional capital of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets as required by the Basel III Final Rule.  At June 30, 2020, the Bank exceeded the total capital conservation buffer and the tier 1 capital conservation buffer by 302 basis points and 376 basis points, respectively.  At December 31, 2019, the Bank exceeded the total capital conservation buffer and the tier 1 capital conservation buffer by 355 and 428 basis points, respectively.  The increase in regulatory capital of C&F Bank during the first six months of 2020 is due primarily to the acquisition of Peoples and current period earnings.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Corporation’s financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP).  U.S. GAAP presently requires the Corporation to measure financial position and operating results primarily in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. The primary effect of inflation on the operations of the Corporation is reflected in increased operating costs. In management’s opinion, changes in interest rates affect the financial condition of a financial institution to a far greater degree than changes in the inflation rate. While interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Corporation, including changes in the expected rate of inflation, the influence of general and local economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government, its agencies and various other governmental regulatory authorities.

USE OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to U.S. GAAP and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP measures are used by management to supplement the evaluation of the Corporation’s performance. These include adjusted net income; adjusted earnings per share; adjusted annualized ROE; and adjusted annualized ROA, all of which are adjusted to exclude the one-time effect of merger related expenses in connection with the acquisition of Peoples, tangible book value per share and the following fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) measures:  interest income on loans-FTE, interest income on securities-FTE, total interest income-FTE and net interest income-FTE.

Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information about operating performance by enhancing comparability with other financial periods and other financial institutions. The non-GAAP measures used by management enhance comparability by excluding the effects of items that do not reflect ongoing operating performance, including non-recurring gains or charges, balances of intangible assets, including goodwill, that vary significantly between institutions and tax benefits that are not consistent across different opportunities for investment. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to U.S. GAAP-basis financial statements, and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these or similar measures differently. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Corporation to evaluate and measure the Corporation’s performance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is presented below.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no significant changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk made in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Corporation’s disclosure

70

Table of Contents

controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Corporation or its subsidiary to disclose material information required to be set forth in the Corporation’s periodic reports.

The Corporation completed the acquisition of Peoples on January 1, 2020, and completed its consolidation and integration of Peoples’ legacy systems and processes in the second quarter of 2020.  The integration of Peoples’ legacy systems and processes did not have a material effect on our internal control over financial reporting.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a substantial portion of our administrative personnel began working remotely in March 2020.  In order to facilitate this change, which occurred with little advance notice, the Corporation adapted certain technologies and processes.  While our internal controls were not designed specifically to operate in a remote working environment, we believe that our internal control over financial reporting was not materially affected by this change in processes and continues to be effective in a remote working environment.

There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

The following risk factor should be considered in addition to the risk factors disclosed in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Corporation’s results of operations and financial condition have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and, depending on future developments, may be materially adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic, the widespread government response and the impact on consumers and businesses in our market area have caused significant disruption in the United States and international economies and financial markets and have had and will likely continue to have a significant impact on the operations and financial performance of the Corporation.  Governments, businesses and the public have taken unprecedented actions to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects including quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, state of emergency declarations, travel bans, closures of businesses and schools, fiscal stimulus and legislative initiatives to deliver monetary aid and other relief.  Many of these actions have adversely impacted the economy and forced temporary closures of nonessential business, and as a result the businesses of many of our customers have been adversely impacted, which could materially affect our busines, financial condition and results of operations.

Although the scope, duration and full effects of the pandemic are rapidly evolving and cannot be fully known at this time, consequences of the pandemic and efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and mitigate the pandemic’s effects have included and may include further market volatility, lower interest rates, disrupted trade and supply chains, increased unemployment and reduced economic activity.  The National Bureau of Economic Research has determined that the U.S. economy  has entered a recession as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The period of recovery from the economic recession cannot be predicted and may be protracted.  If these effects continue for a prolonged period of time, the Corporation may experience significant delinquencies and credit losses due to the inability of borrowers to make timely payments on loans, net interest margin compression, lower demand for our products and services, decreased capital, which may affect the Corporation’s ability to originate new loans, disruption of operational processes arising from practices of social distancing and telecommuting and potential impairment of assets, including securities available for sale and goodwill.  The COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate many of the risk factors identified in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, including risk related to our credit quality, collateral, capital, liquidity, operations, interest rate risk, strategic risk and technology.

Although banks have generally been permitted to continue operating during the COVID-19 outbreak, the outbreak has caused the Corporation to change its business operations, including updating branch operations to comply with

71

Table of Contents

governmental recommendations, closing the lobbies of our branches except for appointments, and implementing a work from home model for many administrative employees.  These changes may have adverse impacts on the Corporation’s business due to reduced effectiveness of operations, unavailability of personnel, and increased cybersecurity risks related to use of remote technology. Additionally, our business operations may be disrupted if key personnel or significant portions of our employees are unable to work effectively, including because of illness.  The changes in business operations could also have a detrimental effect on the Corporation’s relationships with its customers and could reduce demand for the Corporation’s products and services.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the actions required to contain and mitigate it, the effects of the pandemic on our customers and vendors, the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local, state and federal governments, the timing and availability of government support for the economy and financial markets including indirect governmental support for various financial assets including mortgage loans, the short- and long-term health impacts of the pandemic, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. If the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic worsens, additional actions may be taken by federal, state, and local governments to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, including additional shelter-in-place orders. There can be no assurance that any efforts by the Corporation to address the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will be effective.  Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future, or as a result of changes in the behavior of customers, businesses and their employees. Furthermore, the financial condition of our customers and vendors may be adversely impacted, which may result in an elevated level of loan losses, a decrease in demand for our products and services, or reduced availability of services provided by third parties on which we rely. Any of these events may, in turn, have a material adverse impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In May 2019, the Board of Directors authorized a program, effective June 1, 2019, to repurchase up to $5.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock through May 31, 2020.  The Corporation had made aggregate common stock repurchases of $2.1 million under the share repurchase program when the program expired on May 31, 2020.  The share repurchase program has not been renewed or extended at this time.

There were no purchases of the Corporation’s common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
