C&F Financial Corporation Announces Net Income for Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2026
Community banking earnings increased, while mortgage banking quarterly profit fell despite higher loan originations.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
C&F Financial (CFFI) reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $8.3 million, up 16.1 percent from the same period of 2025. Earnings per share rose to $2.55 from $2.18. First-nine-month net income increased 16.8 percent to $23.7 million, with earnings per share of $7.26 versus $6.22.
Nine-month results included an $8.3 million pre-tax gain on the Bearing Insurance Group equity-interest sale and a $7.1 million pre-tax loss on securities restructuring. Consolidated net interest margin, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, rose to 4.53 percent from 4.24 percent a year earlier. Community banking quarterly profit increased to $8.9 million from $7.4 million, while mortgage banking profit fell to $266,000 from $641,000. Consumer finance quarterly profit rose to $303,000 from $231,000, but its nine-month profit declined to $760,000 from $1.0 million. The company also opened a loan production office in Lynchburg, Virginia.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

1 The Corporation uses non-GAAP measures of financial performance, including adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted annualized ROA, adjusted annualized ROE, annualized ROTCE and adjusted annualized ROTCE, to provide meaningful information about operating performance to investors by excluding the effects of certain items that management does not expect to have an ongoing impact on consolidated net income. Each of the non-GAAP measures listed in the prior sentence for the second quarter and first nine months of 2026 excludes the effects of the sale of the Bearing equity interest and the Portfolio Restructuring. For more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), please see “Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” below.
“Our third quarter performance reflects the strength of our diversified business model and disciplined execution of our strategic priorities,” said Tom Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer of C&F Financial Corporation. “Growth in community banking loans and a stronger net interest margin drove solid results. We also expanded into the Lynchburg, Virginia market with the opening of a loan production office. Credit quality remains good and consumer activity remains resilient despite inflation, elevated interest rates, and geopolitical uncertainty. We believe our strong financial position leaves us well positioned for the future.”

In addition to deposits, the Corporation utilizes short-term and long-term borrowings as sources of funds. Short-term borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) may be used to fund the Corporation’s day-to-day operations. Total borrowings increased to

Capital and Dividends. During the third quarter of 2026, the Corporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of 48 cents per share. This dividend, which was paid to shareholders on October 1, 2026, represents a payout ratio of 18.8 percent of earnings per share for the third quarter of 2026.

As of September 30, 2026, C&F Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the FDIC’s regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized under regulations applicable at September 30, 2026, C&F Bank was required to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, CET1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios. In addition to the regulatory risk-based capital requirements, C&F Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer of additional capital of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets as required by the Basel III capital rules. The Corporation and C&F Bank exceeded these ratios at September 30, 2026. For additional information, see “Capital Ratios” below. The above-mentioned ratios are not impacted by unrealized losses on securities available for sale. In the event that all of these unrealized losses become realized into earnings, the Corporation and C&F Bank would both continue to exceed minimum capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffer, and be considered well capitalized.
The Corporation has a share repurchase program, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, that was authorized by the Board of Directors to repurchase up to

Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to GAAP in the United States 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 return on average assets, adjusted return on average equity, net tangible income attributable to the Corporation, return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE), adjusted ROTCE, tangible book value per share, price to tangible book value ratio, and the following fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) measures: interest and fees on loans-FTE, interest and dividends on securities-FTE, total interest income-FTE, net interest income-FTE and net interest income margin-FTE. 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.
Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides meaningful information about operating performance by enhancing comparability with other financial periods, other financial institutions, and between different sources of interest income. The non-GAAP measures used by management enhance comparability by excluding the effects of 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, or more important than, 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 GAAP financial measures is presented below in the “Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” “Fully Taxable Equivalent Net Interest Income” and “Tangible Book Value Per Share” tables.

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What were C&F Financial's third-quarter 2026 earnings?
C&F Financial reported $8.3 million in net income, up 16.1 percent from $7.1 million in third-quarter 2025. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $2.55, compared with $2.18 a year earlier.
How did C&F Financial's securities restructuring change portfolio yields?
C&F Financial sold securities with a weighted average yield of 1.40 percent and purchased securities with a weighted average yield of 4.70 percent. The securities sold had a book value of $72.6 million and represented approximately 14.7 percent of the entire securities portfolio; purchases totaled approximately $67.8 million.
What were C&F Financial's community banking nonaccrual loans and credit-loss allowance at September 30, 2026?
Community banking nonaccrual loans were $1.1 million, unchanged from December 31, 2025, while the credit-loss allowance was $17.8 million, versus $17.4 million. The allowance represented 1.05 percent of total loans, down from 1.10 percent, primarily because of changes in forecasts used in credit-loss models.
Why is C&F Financial's marine and recreational vehicle loan portfolio running off?
The consumer finance segment ended future purchases under the program in third-quarter 2025 after the third-party administrator reduced sales of those loans to outside parties during 2025. The portfolio is expected to run off over time, subject to normal repayment activity and credit performance.
