    • Completed the Peoples-Sidney Financial Corporation acquisition on October 1, 2022

    Lars B. Eller, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Record third quarter results demonstrate the continued success of our strategic growth plan, the value we provide our local communities, and the power of our financial model. Throughout 2022, we have experienced strong organic loan growth across our Ohio, Indiana and Michigan markets as loans increased organically by $301.4 million, or 21.3% on a year-over-year basis. Robust loan growth, combined with our recent acquisitions, excellent asset quality, and stable net interest margin, have driven a 30.0% increase in net interest income after the provision for loan losses. These outstanding trends and our focus on prudently controlling operating expenses are supporting a powerful financial model as we achieved record quarterly and year-to-date net income and earnings per share.”

    Mr. Eller continued, “As we enter the fourth quarter, positive momentum across many areas of our business remains strong and we started the quarter with a robust pipeline of news loans expected to close over the next three months. On October 1, 2022, we completed the Peoples-Sidney Financial Corporation acquisition. Peoples adds slightly over $130 million in total assets to F&M, expands F&M’s community banking franchise into compelling markets throughout Shelby County Ohio, and excluding one-time transaction costs, is expected to be accretive to 2023 earnings by approximately 2.5%. We also continue to pursue opportunities for de novo growth. Expansion plans underway include new full-service offices that are expected to open over the next 12 months in Toledo, Ohio, Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Birmingham, Michigan as well as an office relocation in Auburn, Indiana.”

    Income Statement
    Net income for the 2022 third quarter ended September 30, 2022, was $9.0 million, compared to $5.9 million for the same period last year. Net income per basic and diluted share for the 2022 third quarter was $0.68, compared to $0.53 for the same period last year. Net income for the 2022 nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $25.3 million, compared to $15.8 million for the same period last year. Net income per basic and diluted share for the 2022 nine months was $1.94, compared to $1.41 for the same period last year.

    Noninterest expense for the 2022 third quarter and nine months included approximately $0.5 million and approximately $0.5 million, respectively of one-time expenses associated with the Company’s recent acquisitions. Noninterest expense for the 2021 third quarter and nine months included $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively of one-time expenses associated with the Company’s recent acquisitions.

    Profitability is benefitting from F&M’s larger scale, strong asset quality, and prudent expense management. The Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 51.19% during the 2022 third quarter, and 53.16% for the 2022 nine-month period. Strong profitability also drove higher returns, and ROAA, ROAE, and ROATCE all expanded on a year-over-year basis.

    Deposits
    At September 30, 2022, total deposits were $2.283 billion, an increase of 22.3% from September 30, 2021, and an increase of 4.1% from December 31, 2021. F&M continues to see growing customer preferences to more stable and secure saving instruments as deposits have increased since the COVID-19 crisis began. The Company’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.68% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to 0.45% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, and 0.51% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

    Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality
    Total net loans, at September 30, 2022, increased 43.3%, or by $647.1 million to $2.143 billion, compared to $1.496 billion at September 30, 2021, and up 15.4% from $1.857 billion at December 31, 2021. The year-over-year improvement resulted primarily from the contribution of continued organic loan growth and the completion of the Perpetual Federal Savings Bank and Ossian Financial Services acquisitions.

    Not including the Ossian acquisition and PPP, loans increased 21.3% organically or by $301.4 million from the same period a year ago. Additionally, there were only $7,000 of PPP loans within F&M’s loan portfolio at September 30, 2022.

    F&M continues to closely monitor its loan portfolio with a particular emphasis on higher risk sectors. Nonperforming loans were $5.5 million, or 0.26% of total loans at September 30, 2022, compared to $6.2 million, or 0.42% at September 30, 2021. Due to loan growth, F&M continues to prudently fund its allowance for loan and lease losses which has increased 27.3% on a year-over-year basis.

    At September 30, 2022, the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans was 365.44%, compared to 251.26% at September 30, 2021. As a result of F&M’s recent acquisitions, the Company has a total gross credit mark of nearly $6.0 million, which further enhances F&M’s allowance at September 30, 2022. Including the total gross credit mark, F&M’s allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans improved to 1.21% at September 30, 2022.

    Mr. Eller concluded, “Economic uncertainty continues to increase as a result of more restrictive monetary policies and rapid inflation. We are watching our markets closely and working with our business, retail, and agricultural customers to help them navigate a more fluid economic environment. Overall, F&M is well positioned for changes in the economic cycle as our asset quality remains strong, and we remain well capitalized. In addition, while we anticipate inflation to impact noninterest expenses and competition for deposits to increase our cost of funds in the coming quarters, our efficiency ratio is strong, and our larger scale continues to benefit profitability. As you can see, trends in our business are at record levels, and we believe 2022 will be another record year of earnings and growth for F&M.”

    Stockholders’ Equity and Dividends
    Total stockholders’ equity increased 10.1% to $280.6 million at September 30, 2022, from $254.7 million at September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2022, the Company had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.11%, compared to 9.45% at September 30, 2021.

    Tangible stockholders’ equity on a regulatory basis increased to $234.1 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $194.6 million at September 30, 2021. On a per share basis, tangible stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2022, was $17.86 per share, compared to $17.33 per share at September 30, 2021.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company has declared cash dividends of $0.6025 per share, which is a 15.9% increase over the same period last year. Dividends declared for the 2022 nine months included a special one-time cash dividend of $0.0125 to honor F&M’s 125th anniversary, and a 16.7% year-over-year increase for the 2022 third quarter dividend payment to $0.21 per share. F&M is committed to returning capital to shareholders and has increased the annual cash dividend for over 28 consecutive years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the dividend payout ratio was 40.58% compared to 36.55% for the same period last year.
