“We are delighted and proud of our third quarter results,” stated Tom Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer of C&F Financial Corporation. “Our performance this quarter highlights the strength of our diversified business model. We saw robust growth in loans and deposits within our community banking segment and loan originations at our mortgage banking segment also increased compared to prior year. Although some market data suggests softening in the broader economy, our liquidity, capital position and asset quality remain strong and give us confidence in our ability to continue growing responsibly. Additionally, our recent expansion into Southwest Virginia, which was announced this quarter, is already yielding promising results.”

Key highlights for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 are as follows.

  • Community banking segment loans grew $91.4 million, or 8.4 percent annualized, and $112.9 million, or 7.9 percent, compared to December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, respectively;
  • Consumer finance segment loans decreased $3.5 million, or 1.0 percent annualized, and $14.1 million, or 2.9 percent, compared to December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, respectively;
  • Deposits increased $127.2 million, or 7.8 percent annualized, and $162.1 million, or 7.6 percent, compared to December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, respectively;
  • Consolidated annualized net interest margin was 4.24 percent for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 4.13 percent for the third quarter of 2024 and 4.27 percent in the second quarter of 2025;
  • The community banking segment recorded a net reversal of provision for credit losses of $100,000 and a provision for credit losses of $700,000 for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and recorded a net reversal of provision for credit losses of $300,000 and a provision for credit losses of $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively;
  • The consumer finance segment recorded provision for credit losses of $3.0 million for the third quarter of both 2025 and 2024, and recorded provision for credit losses of $8.3 million and $8.1 million for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively;
  • The consumer finance segment experienced net charge-offs at an annualized rate of 2.68 percent and 2.51 percent of average total loans for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to 2.65 percent and 2.36 percent for the same periods of 2024;
  • Mortgage banking segment loan originations increased $10.1 million, or 6.4 percent, to $167.0 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 and decreased $46.5 million, or 21.8 percent compared to the second quarter of 2025; and
  • The Corporation expanded into Southwest Virginia with the opening of a new loan production office in Roanoke in July 2025.

Community Banking Segment. The community banking segment reported net income of $7.4 million and $19.9 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to $5.3 million and $13.9 million for the same periods of 2024, due primarily to:

  • higher interest income resulting from higher average balances of loans and cash reserves, a shift in the mix of the loan portfolio towards higher-yielding loans, and higher average interest rates on securities; and
  • lower provision for credit losses due primarily to a shift in the mix of the loan portfolio and the resolution of a nonperforming commercial real estate loan in the second quarter of 2025 that had carried a specific reserve, partially offset by provision related to loan growth;

partially offset by:

  • higher interest expense for the first nine months of 2025 due primarily to higher average balances of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower average rates on deposits;
  • higher salaries and employee benefits due primarily to increased employee incentive accruals associated with improved financial performance and the addition of a seasoned lending team with the expansion into Southwest Virginia in the third quarter of 2025; and
  • higher marketing and advertising expenses related to the Corporation’s strategic marketing initiative, which began in the second half of 2024.

Average loans increased $126.8 million, or 9.0 percent, for the third quarter of 2025 and increased $144.0 million, or 10.6 percent, for the first nine months of 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, due primarily to growth in the commercial real estate, land acquisition and development, builder lines and construction segments of the loan portfolio. Average deposits increased $143.0 million, or 6.7 percent, for the third quarter of 2025 and increased $144.0 million, or 6.9 percent, for the first nine months of 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, due primarily to higher balances of time deposits, money market deposits and noninterest-bearing demand deposits.

Average interest-earning asset yields were higher for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, compared to the same periods of 2024, due primarily to a shift in the mix of the loan portfolio towards higher-yielding loans and higher average interest rates on securities available for sale. Average costs of interest-bearing deposits were lower for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, compared to the same periods of 2024, due primarily to decreases in interest rates paid on time deposits.  

The community banking segment’s nonaccrual loans were $1.2 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $333,000 at December 31, 2024. The increase in nonaccrual loans compared to December 31, 2024 is due primarily to the downgrade of one residential mortgage relationship in the first quarter of 2025. The community banking segment recorded net reversals of provision for credit losses of $100,000 and $300,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, compared to provision for credit losses of $700,000 and $1.7 million for the same periods of 2024. At September 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses decreased to $17.2 million, compared to $17.4 million at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans decreased to 1.11 percent at September 30, 2025 from 1.20 percent at December 31, 2024. These decreases are due primarily to the resolution of a nonperforming commercial real estate loan that had carried a specific reserve and growth in loans with shorter expected lives, which resulted in lower estimated losses over the life of the loan, partially offset by growth in the loan portfolio and changes in the forecast of key credit loss model assumptions. Management believes that the level of the allowance for credit losses is adequate to reflect the net amount expected to be collected.

Mortgage Banking Segment. The mortgage banking segment reported net income of $641,000 and $2.1 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to $351,000 and $1.0 million for the same periods of 2024, due primarily to:

  • higher gains on sales of loans and higher mortgage banking fee income due to higher volume of mortgage loan originations; and
  • higher mortgage lender services fee income;

partially offset by:

  • higher variable expenses tied to mortgage loan origination volume such as commissions and bonuses, reported in salaries and employee benefits; and
  • lower reversal of provision for indemnifications.

Despite the sustained elevated level of mortgage interest rates, higher home prices and low levels of inventory, mortgage banking segment loan originations increased 6.4 percent and 24.4 percent for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2024. Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment were $167.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, comprised of $148.2 million home purchases and $18.8 million refinancings, compared to $157.0 million, comprised of $142.0 million home purchases and $15.0 million refinancings, for the same period in 2024. Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment were $494.3 million for the first nine months of 2025, comprised of $447.1 million home purchases and $47.2 million refinancings, compared to $397.3 million, comprised of $363.0 million home purchases and $34.3 million refinancings, for the same period in 2024. Mortgage loan originations in the third quarter of 2025 decreased $46.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 due in part to normal industry seasonal fluctuations. Mortgage loan segment originations include originations of loans sold to the community banking segment, at prices similar to those paid by third-party investors. These transactions are eliminated to reach consolidated totals.

During the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, the mortgage banking segment recorded net reversals of provision for indemnification losses of $75,000 and $135,000, respectively, compared to net reversals of provision for indemnification losses of $100,000 and $375,000 in the same periods of 2024. The allowance for indemnifications was $1.2 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The release of indemnification reserves in 2025 and 2024 was due primarily to lower volume of mortgage loan originations in recent years, 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, such as time since origination. The releases in 2025 decreased compared to the same periods in 2024 due primarily to the increased mortgage loan originations in 2025 compared to 2024. 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 $231,000 and $1.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, compared to $311,000 and $1.1 million for the same periods in 2024, due primarily to:

  • higher provision for credit losses for the first nine months of 2025 due primarily to higher net charge-offs; and
  • lower interest income resulting from lower average balances of loans, partially offset by higher loan yields;

partially offset by:

  • lower interest expense allocation on borrowings from the community banking segment as a result of lower average balances of borrowings; and
  • lower salaries and employee benefits expense due to an effort to reduce overhead costs.

Average loans decreased $17.4 million, or 3.6 percent, for the third quarter of 2025 and decreased $13.3 million, or 2.8 percent, for the first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The consumer finance segment experienced net charge-offs at an annualized rate of 2.51 percent of average total loans for the first nine months of 2025, compared to 2.36 percent for the first nine months of 2024, due primarily to an increase in delinquent loans, repossessions and the average amount charged-off when a loan was uncollectable. At September 30, 2025, total delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans was 4.00 percent, compared to 3.90 percent at December 31, 2024, and 3.49 percent at September 30, 2024.

The consumer finance segment, at times, offers payment deferrals as a portfolio management technique to achieve higher ultimate cash collections on select loan accounts. A significant reliance on deferrals as a means of managing collections may result in a lengthening of the loss confirmation period, which would increase expectations of credit losses inherent in the portfolio. Average amounts of payment deferrals of automobile loans on a monthly basis, which are not included in delinquent loans, were 1.88 percent and 1.79 percent of average automobile loans outstanding during the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to 1.91 percent and 1.70 percent during the same periods during 2024. The allowance for credit losses was $22.3 million at September 30, 2025 and $22.7 million at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 4.81 percent at September 30, 2025 compared to 4.86 percent at December 31, 2024. Management believes that the level of the allowance for credit losses is adequate to reflect the net amount expected to be collected. If loan performance deteriorates resulting in further elevated delinquencies or net charge-offs, the provision for credit losses may increase in future periods.

Liquidity. The objective of the Corporation’s liquidity management is to ensure the continuous availability of funds to satisfy the credit needs of our customers and the demands of our depositors, creditors and investors. Uninsured deposits represent an estimate of amounts above the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage limit of $250,000. As of September 30, 2025, the Corporation’s uninsured deposits were approximately $686.2 million, or 29.9 percent of total deposits. Excluding intercompany cash holdings and municipal deposits, which are secured with pledged securities, amounts uninsured were approximately $557.4 million, or 24.3 percent of total deposits as of September 30, 2025. The Corporation’s liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits at other banks and nonpledged securities available for sale, were $441.4 million and borrowing availability was $612.3 million as of September 30, 2025, which in total exceed uninsured deposits, excluding intercompany cash holdings and secured municipal deposits, by $496.3 million as of September 30, 2025.

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. Short-term borrowings may also include securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Total borrowings decreased to $113.4 million at September 30, 2025 from $122.6 million at December 31, 2024 due primarily to the wind-down of the repurchase agreement program with certain commercial deposit customers during the third quarter of 2025, partially offset by an increase in the Corporation’s subordinated debt.

Additional sources of liquidity available to the Corporation include cash flows from operations, loan payments and payoffs, deposit growth, maturities, calls and sales of securities, the issuance of brokered certificates of deposit and the capacity to borrow additional funds.

Capital and Dividends. During the third quarter of 2025, the Corporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of 46 cents per share. This dividend, which was paid to shareholders on October 1, 2025, represents a payout ratio of 21.1 percent of earnings per share for the third quarter of 2025. 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 levels and requirements, and expected future earnings.

Total consolidated equity increased $26.9 million at September 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, due primarily to net income and lower unrealized losses in the market value of securities available for sale, which are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends paid on the Corporation’s common stock. The Corporation’s securities available for sale are fixed income debt securities and their unrealized loss position is a result of increased market interest rates since they were purchased. The Corporation expects to recover its investments in debt securities through scheduled payments of principal and interest. Unrealized losses are not expected to affect the earnings or regulatory capital of the Corporation or C&F Bank. The accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Corporation’s securities available for sale, net of deferred income taxes, decreased to $12.9 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $23.7 million at December 31, 2024 due primarily to fluctuations in debt security market interest rates and a decrease in the balance of securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position as a result of maturities, calls and paydowns.

As of September 30, 2025, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized C&F Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized under regulations applicable at September 30, 2025, 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, 2025. 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 that was authorized by the Board of Directors to repurchase up to $5.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (the 2025 Repurchase Program). During the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, the Corporation did not make any repurchases of its common stock under the 2025 Repurchase Program.

Additional information regarding the Corporation’s products and services, as well as access to its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), are available on the Corporation’s website at http://www.cffc.com.

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 may include adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted return on average equity, adjusted return on average assets, 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 income on loans-FTE, interest income on securities-FTE, total interest income-FTE and net interest income-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 to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is presented below in the “Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Tangible Book Value Per Share” tables.
