MIDLOTHIAN, Va., Aug. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cordia Bancorp Inc. ("Cordia") (Nasdaq:BVA), parent company of Bank of Virginia, reported a net loss of $270,000 or $(0.09) per share for the second quarter of 2014, compared to net income of $261,000 or $0.09 per share for the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, the net loss was $544,000 or $(0.19) per share compared to net income of $482,000 or $0.20 per share for the same period of 2013.

Highlights for the first six months of 2014

  • $15.4 million capital raise completed in April 2014
  • 26% growth in total assets
  • 72% growth in investment securities
  • 17% growth in loans held for investments
  • 16% growth in deposits
  • 14% increase in employees
  • Nonperforming assets decreased to 1.4% of total assets
  • Conversion of Cordia's recently issued preferred stock into approximately 3,629,871 shares of voting and nonvoting common stock

Chief Executive Officer Jack Zoeller stated, "With the $15.4 million capital raise completed, we are turning our focus to building the infrastructure to solidly grow the company. We have added significantly to our securities and student loan portfolios and have experienced strong commercial loan growth volume over the past few months. In addition, we recruited three experienced officers who will give an added boost to our asset originations in future periods."

Mr. Zoeller continued, "To help fund our growth, we opened two new branch office locations in the Richmond metro market last month. Although our additional lenders and branches will slightly constrain profitability in the short term, they are an important part of our strategy to build sustained core profitability in 2015 and beyond."

Operating Results

Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013

  • The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $270,000 compared to net income of $261,000 for the prior year second quarter. 
  • Net interest income was $2.07 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $2.15 million for the second quarter of 2013. 
  • Net interest margin was 3.05% and 3.49% for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Adjusting for the impact of purchase accounting, net interest margin increased to 2.95% from 2.84%, or 11 basis points, from the 2013 period. 
  • The provision for loan losses was $209,000 in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $7,000 in the prior year quarter.
  • Noninterest expense increased to $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $176,000 resulting from staff additions and $108,000 in loan expenses.

Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013

  • The net loss for the first six months of 2014 was $544,000 compared to net income of $482,000 for the first six months of 2013. 
  • Net interest income was $3.97 million for the 2014 period, compared to $4.38 million for the 2013 period. 
  • Net interest margin for the 2014 period was 3.19% compared to 3.87% for the 2013 period. Adjusting for the impact of purchase accounting, net interest margin increased to 3.06% from 2.86%, or 20 basis points, from the 2013 period. 
  • Noninterest income was $185,000 for the 2014 period, compared to $133,000 for the 2013 period. The increase was driven by a net gain on the sale of available for sale securities of $64,000 in the first quarter of 2014.
  • Noninterest expense increased to $4.5 million for the 2014 period, compared to $3.9 million for the 2014 period. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to a one-time accrual of incentive compensation recorded in 2014 and an increase in servicing fees due to the growth of the student loan portfolio.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations (unaudited)
               
The table below shows the computations of tangible equity and tangible assets and certain related ratios, all of which are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio has become a focus of some investors and management believes this ratio may assist in analyzing the Corporation's capital position, absent the effects of intangible assets. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the non-GAAP measures presented in the following table may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
