net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin grew to 3.56% for first quarter 2026"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
cost of funds financial
"Cost of funds declined to 1.94%, a decrease of 13 basis points"
The cost of funds is the average price a company or bank pays to obtain money—through deposits, loans, bonds or other borrowings—that it uses to run the business or make investments. It matters to investors because higher borrowing costs act like a heavier mortgage payment for a household, reducing profits, cash flow and the ability to pay dividends or invest in growth, while lower costs boost competitiveness and valuation.
allowance for credit losses financial
"The allowance for credit losses on loans, or ACLL, totaled $7.9 million"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
nonperforming assets financial
"Non-performing assets totaled $4.85 million as of March 31, 2026"
Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.
tangible book value per share financial
"Tangible book value per share increased to $29.10 over the same period"
Tangible book value per share is the company's total physical and financial assets minus its liabilities and intangible items (like goodwill and brand value), divided by the number of outstanding shares. It gives investors a conservative, per‑share estimate of what would remain if the business sold only its hard assets and paid its debts—useful for judging whether a stock is priced above or below its underlying, tangible worth, like valuing a property by its bricks and cash rather than its reputation.
risk-based capital ratios financial
"Risk-based capital ratios: Common equity tier 1 capital 13.18%"
A risk-based capital ratio measures how much financial cushion a company holds relative to the risks in its assets and business activities; assets that are riskier require more capital, so the ratio adjusts the cushion to reflect actual exposure. Investors use it like checking the sturdiness of a safety net — a higher ratio means a company is better positioned to absorb losses and less likely to need emergency funding or face regulatory action, making its shares or bonds generally less risky.
Net income $3.23 million +31.3% year over year
Earnings per share $0.91 +$0.21 vs Q1 2025
Net interest income $11.43 million +21.02% year over year
Net interest margin 3.56% up from 3.15% in Q1 2025
Return on average assets 0.94% up from 0.76% in Q1 2025
Return on average equity 12.18% up from 11.31% in Q1 2025

F&M BANK CORP. REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2026 EARNINGS AND QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

 

Net income rose 31.3% in a year‑over‑year comparison; and the Company experienced growth

in assets, loans, and deposits on both a linked quarter and year-to-year basis.

 

See associated, unaudited summary consolidated financial data for additional information.

 

Timberville, VA / April 28, 2026 . . . F&M Bank Corp. (the “Company” or “F&M”), (OTCQX: FMBM), the parent company of Farmers & Merchants Bank (“F&M Bank” or the “Bank”), reported strong earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

 

Net income was $3.23 million, or $0.91 per share, for first quarter 2026, compared to net income of $2.88 million, or $0.81 per share, reported for fourth quarter 2025, and net income of $2.46 million, or $0.70 per share, reported for first quarter 2025.

 

At March 31, 2026, the Company had total assets of $1.41 billion, total loans of $896.9 million, and total deposits of $1.28 billion. This reflects growth of $35.2 million, or 2.56%, in total assets, $10.6 million, or 1.20%, in total loans, and $29.9 million, or 2.40%, in total deposits since December 31, 2025.

 

“This strong start to 2026 represents a continuation of the momentum we established in 2025,” said CEO Mike Wilkerson. “First quarter earnings reflect consistent execution across a diversified business model that does not rely on any single driver for success, as well as our disciplined approach to balance sheet and interest rate management. We continue to focus on our core strengths, where long‑standing relationships and deep market knowledge are key differentiators for us. These strengths include agricultural, commercial, and mortgage lending, and increasingly commercial real estate lending.

 

“An important contributor to our strong performance has been our ability to attract experienced, high-quality talent. As our reputation as a strong community bank spreads, we have recruited veteran bankers into key roles. This experience and depth are vital to everyone we serve in the Shenandoah Valley and will be important as we establish a presence in Fauquier County.

 

“F&M has been growth‑oriented since the day we opened our doors in 1908, and that mindset remains central to who we are today. We consider it an obligation to pursue thoughtful, sustainable growth while serving our customers, communities, and shareholders. Our first quarter performance demonstrates the durability of our approach and positions us well to continue building on that momentum in the years ahead.”

FIRST QUARTER 2026 INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

 

Overview

Net income for first quarter 2026 was $3.23 million, or $0.91 per share, an increase of $343,000, or $0.10 per share, from fourth quarter 2025 and an increase of $769,000, or $0.21 per share, from first quarter 2025. Return on average assets improved to 0.94% for first quarter 2026, compared to 0.83% for fourth quarter 2025 and 0.76% for first quarter 2025. Return on average equity was 12.18% for first quarter 2026, compared to 10.99% for the linked quarter and 11.31% for first quarter 2025.

 

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $11.43 million for first quarter 2026, an increase of $369,000, or 3.34%, from fourth quarter 2025 and an increase of $2 million, or 21.02%, from first quarter 2025. The linked‑quarter increase was driven primarily by a decrease in interest expense of $498,000, partially offset by a $129,000 decrease in interest income. The year‑over‑year increase in net interest income was primarily the result of loan growth, which contributed to a $1.23 million increase in interest income, along with a $756,000 decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest expense in both comparisons was driven by a shift from higher-cost time deposits to lower-cost interest checking and money market accounts.

 

Net interest margin grew to 3.56% for first quarter 2026, compared to 3.4% for fourth quarter 2025 and 3.15% for first quarter 2025. Yield on earning assets was 5.44% for first quarter 2026, compared to 5.42% for fourth quarter 2025 and 5.43% for first quarter 2025. Cost of funds declined to 1.94%, a decrease of 13 basis points from fourth quarter 2025 and 36 basis points from first quarter 2025.

 

Provision for Credit Losses

The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $309,000 during first quarter 2026, compared to a provision of $1.1 million in fourth quarter 2025 and an increase from the recovery of $104,000 in first quarter 2025. The first quarter 2026 provision included $289,000 for loans held for investment and $20,000 for unfunded loan commitments. The decrease in the provision compared to fourth quarter 2025 was driven primarily by a $918,000 decline in net charge‑offs, partially offset by loan growth of $10.6 million since December 31, 2025. The increase compared to first quarter 2025 reflected loan growth of $10.6 million during first quarter 2026, compared to a decline of $12.9 million in first quarter 2025.

 

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income was $2.9 million for first quarter 2026, compared to $2.8 million for both fourth quarter 2025 and first quarter 2025. The $99,000 increase from fourth quarter 2025 was primarily attributable to increases of $150,000 in wealth management income and $89,000 in title insurance income, partially offset by decreases of $60,000 in mortgage banking income, $53,000 in card services and interchange income, and $79,000 in other operating income. Compared to first quarter 2025, the $50,000 increase was primarily driven by higher title insurance income and increased service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by lower mortgage banking income.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses totaled $10.3 million for first quarter 2026, compared to $9.5 million for both fourth quarter 2025 and first quarter 2025. The $851,000 increase compared to the linked quarter was primarily driven by higher salaries and employee benefits, increased legal and professional fees, and higher data processing expenses, partially offset by declines in ATM and check card fees and other operating expenses. The $789,000 increase compared to first quarter 2025 was primarily attributable to increased compensation and legal and professional fees, partially offset by a reduction in FDIC insurance expense.

 

FIRST QUARTER 2026 BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

 

Total assets were $1.41 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $35.2 million, or 2.56%, from December 31, 2025. Net loans held for investment increased $10.6 million, or 1.2%, during first quarter 2026, to $896.9 million. Loan growth during the quarter was driven primarily by increases of $8.4 million in residential mortgage loans, $6.4 million in multifamily residential loans, $4.4 million in commercial and industrial loans, $2.9 million in loans secured by farmland, and $2.8 million in other construction and land development loans. These increases were partially offset by declines of $6.7 million in owner‑occupied commercial real estate loans, $4.3 million in residential construction loans, and $7.2 million in automobile loans. All remaining loan categories increased by $3.9 million in total.

 

Investment securities increased $5.2 million, or 1.5%, during first quarter to $350.5 million. The increase reflected purchases of $14.9 million, partially offset by $8.9 million in paydowns of U.S. agency mortgage‑backed securities. The average yield on the bond purchases in first quarter 2026 was 4.71%. Other changes included net premium amortization of $69,000 and a $730,000 increase in unrealized losses within the securities portfolio. Total unrealized losses increased to $21.8 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $21.0 million at December 31, 2025.

 

Total deposits were $1.28 billion on March 31, 2026, an increase of $29.9 million, or 2.40%, from December 31, 2025. The increase reflected growth of $10.9 million, or 3.92%, in noninterest‑bearing deposits and $18.9 million, or 1.96%, in interest‑bearing deposits during the quarter.

 

Shareholders’ equity increased $1.9 million, or 1.83%, to $106.7 million as of March 31, 2026. The increase was driven by $3.2 million in net income, $104,000 related to shares issued, and $99,000 in stock‑based compensation expense, partially offset by $925,000 in dividends paid and $586,000 in other comprehensive loss. Book value per share increased from $29.46 at December 31, 2025, to $29.98 at March 31, 2026, while tangible book value per share1 increased from $28.58 to $29.10 over the same period.

LIQUIDITY

On‑balance sheet liquid assets, including cash and cash equivalents, unpledged investment securities, and loans held for sale, totaled $313.9 million on March 31, 2026, representing 22.28% of total assets, compared to $289 million, or 21.04% of total assets, at December 31, 2025.

 

In addition to on‑balance sheet liquidity, the Bank had access to significant off‑balance sheet liquidity sources. As of March 31, 2026, available unsecured federal funds lines totaled $90 million. The Bank also maintained a secured line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank with available borrowing capacity of $201.4 million, secured by a blanket lien on qualifying loans. In addition, the Bank pledged securities with a collateral value of $113.1 million to the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, which may be used for overnight borrowings.

 

LOAN PORTFOLIO

The Company’s loan portfolio remains diversified. Residential mortgage loans totaled $257.7 million on March 31, 2026, representing 28.73% of total loans. Total commercial real estate loans, including both owner‑occupied and non‑owner‑occupied properties, totaled $206.4 million, or 23.01% of total loans. The outstanding balance of automobile loans originated through the dealer finance division totaled $69.9 million, representing 7.80% of the loan portfolio.

 

Additional details regarding loan portfolio composition as of March 31, 2026, and for the preceding four quarters are provided under the heading “Loan Data” in the tables accompanying this release.

 

ASSET QUALITY AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Asset quality metrics continued to improve during first quarter 2026. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans declined to 0.54% as of March 31, 2026, from 0.68% as of December 31, 2025. Net charge‑offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.09% for first quarter 2026, compared to 0.50% for fourth quarter 2025.

 

The allowance for credit losses on loans, or ACLL, totaled $7.9 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $92,000, or 1.18%, from December 31, 2025. The increase reflected overall growth in loans held for investment of $10.6 million during the quarter. The impact of overall portfolio growth was mitigated by changes in loan portfolio composition. Growth was concentrated in historically strong-performing segments such as farmland and residential mortgage lending, while balances in higher-risk segments, including construction and automobile loans, declined. The reserve for unfunded loan commitments totaled $786,000 as of March 31, 2026, compared to $766,000 as of December 31, 2025.

 

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

 

On April 28, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.26 per share to common shareholders. Based on our most recent trade price of $31.45 per share, this constitutes a 3.31% yield on an annualized basis.
