¹The Corporation uses non-GAAP measures of financial performance, including adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted annualized return on average assets (ROA) and adjusted annualized return on average equity (ROE), to provide meaningful information about operating performance by excluding the effects of certain items that management does not expect to have an ongoing impact on consolidated net income. Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2022 excludes the effects of branch consolidation activity. There were no such adjustments for the first quarter of 2021. For more information about these 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.

Tom Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer of C&F Financial Corporation, commented, "Our first quarter results demonstrate that we are well positioned for the challenges and opportunities presented by current market conditions. The community banking segment continues to grow loans and deposits and we believe it is poised to benefit from recent increases in interest rates through expanded net interest margins. The consumer finance segment is delivering outstanding growth in its loan portfolio. And while mortgage volume has subsided from the highs of 2020 and 2021, the mortgage banking segment's traditional focus on purchase lending will help us to remain competitive as refinancing activity is likely to continue to decline across the industry. We are watchful of the effect that inflation is having on our customers, our communities and on our own operating costs. Earnings and asset quality remain strong, and we are optimistic about our prospects for responsible growth as we continue to carry out our strategic objectives throughout 2022."

Key highlights for the first quarter of 2022 are as follows. Comparisons are to the first quarter of 2021 unless otherwise stated.

Average loans outstanding at the community banking segment, excluding Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, increased 6.3 percent;
Average deposits increased 8.1 percent;
Average loans outstanding at the consumer finance segment increased 21.3 percent;
The Corporation recorded a net reversal of provision for loan losses of $328,000 for first quarter of 2022 on a consolidated basis, due primarily to the resolution of certain impaired loans at the community banking segment and other reserve releases, partially offset by provision for loan growth at the consumer finance and community banking segments. The Corporation recorded provision for loan losses of $280,000 for the first quarter of 2021;
The community banking segment recognized net PPP origination fees of $437,000 in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $864,000 in the first quarter of 2021;
Consolidated annualized net interest margin was 3.93 percent for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 4.33 percent and 4.09 percent for the first quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively. The decrease in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was due primarily to growth in lower yielding cash and investments while loans held for sale decreased, as well as lower accretion of net PPP origination fees;
The consumer finance segment experienced net charge-offs at an annualized rate of 0.04 percent of average total loans for the first quarter of 2022, compared to net recoveries of 0.14 percent for the year ended December 31, 2021. Delinquencies remain lower than pre-pandemic levels and a strong used car market has mitigated losses on defaulted loans;
The consumer finance segment's average loan yield declined as a result of pursuing growth in higher quality, lower yielding loans; and
Mortgage banking segment loan originations decreased 55.1 percent for the first quarter of 2022 amid declines in mortgage industry volume and rising interest rates.

Community Banking Segment. The community banking segment reported net income of $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2021.

Community banking segment net income increased $724,000 for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to:

a reversal of provision for loan losses of $700,000 in the first quarter of 2022, due primarily to the resolution of certain impaired loans and continued strong credit quality of the loan portfolio, compared to no provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2021, and
lower interest expense due to lower average cost of time deposits and a shift in balances from time deposits toward lower-cost savings, money market and demand deposits;

partially offset by:

lower interest income as a result of lower accretion of net PPP origination fees and lower interest income on purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans, as well as lower average yields on other loans, partially offset by higher average balances of securities, loans (excluding PPP loans) and cash.

Average loans decreased $22.5 million, or 2.1 percent, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Excluding the impact of PPP loans, average loans increased $60.1 million, or 6.3 percent, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in average loans outstanding excluding PPP loans for the first quarter 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 resulted primarily from growth in the commercial real estate segment of the loan portfolio. Average deposits increased $144.2 million, or 8.1 percent, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, and the mix of deposit balances shifted away from time deposits and toward lower cost savings, money market and demand deposits.

Average loan yields were lower for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to lower recognition of net origination fees on PPP loans and lower interest income on PCI loans. PPP loans earn interest at a note rate of one percent as well as net origination fees that are amortized over the contractual term of the related loan or accelerated into interest income upon repayment of the loan. Net PPP origination fees recognized in the first quarter of 2022 were $437,000, compared to $864,000 for the same period in 2021. Since the second quarter of 2020, the community banking segment has recognized $6.1 million of net fees under the PPP, and there were unrecognized net deferred PPP fees at March 31, 2022 of $242,000, which are expected to be recognized in 2022. The recognition of interest income on PCI loans, which were acquired in connection with past mergers and acquisitions, is based on management's expectation of future payments of principal and interest, which are inherently uncertain. Earlier than expected repayments of certain PCI loans resulted in the recognition of additional interest income during the first quarters of 2022 and 2021. Interest income recognized on PCI loans was $363,000 for the first quarter of 2022 and $517,000 for the first quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, market interest rates increased, which the community banking segment expects to result in increases in net interest income at the community banking segment in future periods. However, how, when and the extent to which rising interest rates will affect net interest income at the community banking segment is uncertain.

C&F Bank's total nonperforming assets were $118,000 at March 31, 2022 compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets included $118,000 in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2022 and included $2.4 million in nonaccrual loans and $835,000 in other real estate owned (OREO) at December 31, 2021. The decrease in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 was primarily due to the resolution of certain impaired loans during the first quarter of 2022. The community banking segment recorded a net reversal of provision for loan losses of $700,000 for the first quarter of 2022, compared to no provision for loan losses recorded for the first quarter of 2021. At March 31, 2022, the allowance for loan losses decreased to $14.1 million, compared to $14.8 million at December 31, 2021. Decreases in the allowance for loan losses during 2022 related to improvement in asset quality during 2022, including impaired loans, and a release of certain qualitative adjustments to reserves related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which were partially offset by provision related to growth in the loan portfolio. Management believes that the level of the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio.

Mortgage Banking Segment. The mortgage banking segment reported net income of $866,000 for the first quarter of 2022, compared to net income of $2.5 million for the same period in 2021.

The decrease in net income of the mortgage banking segment for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was due primarily to (1) lower volume of mortgage loan originations and mortgage lender services and (2) lower margins on sales of mortgage loans, partially offset by lower provision for indemnification losses.

Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment were $189.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $422.5 million for the first quarter of 2021. Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment during the first quarter of 2022 for refinancings and home purchases were $48.4 million and $141.5 million, respectively, compared to $235.2 million and $187.3 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2021. Following the elevated volume levels in the mortgage industry during 2020 and 2021 that accompanied historically low mortgage interest rates and a highly active residential real estate market, the first quarter of 2022 represents a return to levels of mortgage banking segment volume (of both refinancings and home purchases), revenues and net income that are somewhat normalized and still compare favorably to periods prior to 2020.

During the first quarter of 2022, the mortgage banking segment recorded a reversal of provisions for indemnification losses of $583,000, compared to provision for indemnification losses of $17,000 in the first quarter of 2021. The release of indemnification reserves in the first quarter of 2022 was due primarily to improvement in the mortgage banking segment's assessment of borrower payment performance and other factors affecting expected losses on mortgage loans sold in the secondary market. The mortgage banking segment increased reserves for indemnification losses during 2020 based on widespread forbearance on mortgage loans and economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, the mortgage banking segment has not made any payments for indemnification losses since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and management believes that the indemnification reserve is sufficient to absorb losses related to loans that have been sold in the secondary market.

Consumer Finance Segment. The consumer finance segment reported net income of $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to net income of $2.5 million for the same period in 2021.

Net income for the consumer finance segment decreased $465,000 for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 due to lower yields on automobile loans and higher provision for loan losses, partially offset by loan growth. Provision for loan losses increased as a result of significant loan growth in 2022, partially offset by a release of reserves related to continued improvement in loan performance. Average yields on loans decreased for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 as a result of the consumer finance segment's pursuing growth in higher quality, lower yielding loans.

Average loans outstanding increased $66.9 million, or 21.3%, for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The consumer finance segment experienced annualized net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2022 of 0.04 percent of average total loans, compared to net charge-offs of 0.51 percent for the first quarter of 2021. The decline in the net charge-off ratio for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 reflects a lower number of charge-offs during 2022 and lower losses per loan charged off as a result of a strong used car market. The consumer finance segment has experienced loan performance since 2020 that has been generally stronger than periods prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in part from the consumer finance segment continuing to purchase higher quality loans, and in part from government stimulus measures in response to the pandemic that benefitted borrowers. At March 31, 2022, total delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.71 percent, compared to 2.16 percent at December 31, 2021 and 1.56 percent at March 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses was $25.1 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $24.8 million at December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased to 6.33 percent at March 31, 2022 from 6.73 percent at December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of improving credit quality of the portfolio, which has resulted in lower net charge-offs, and a reduction of certain qualitative adjustments to reserves related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Management believes that the level of the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. If loan performance deteriorates resulting in elevated delinquencies or net charge-offs, provision for loan losses may increase in future periods.

Capital and Dividends. The Corporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of 40 cents per share during the first quarter of 2022, which was paid on April 1, 2022. These dividends represent a payout ratio of 25.2 percent of earnings per share for the first quarter of 2022. The Board of Directors of the Corporation continually reviews the amount of cash dividends per share and the resulting dividend payout ratio in light of changes in economic conditions, current and future capital requirements, and expected future earnings.

Total consolidated equity decreased $9.7 million at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, due primarily to unrealized losses in the market value of securities available for sale, which are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. The Corporation's securities available for sale are fixed income debt securities, and their decline in market value during the first quarter of 2022 was a result of rising market interest rates. The Corporation expects to recover its investments in debt securities through scheduled payments of principal and interest, and unrealized losses are not expected to affect the earnings or regulatory capital of the Corporation or the Bank.

In November 2021, the Board of Directors authorized a program, effective December 1, 2021, to repurchase up to $10.0 million of the Corporation's common stock through November 30, 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, the Corporation repurchased 9,717 shares, or $493,000, of its common stock under this share repurchase program.

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 ROE, adjusted return on tangible common equity (ROTCE), adjusted ROA, 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 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 (1) items that do not reflect ongoing operating performance, (2) balances of intangible assets, including goodwill, that vary significantly between institutions, and (3) tax benefits that are not consistent across different opportunities for investment. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to 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.
