The Company reported net income of $4.54 million or $0.75 per basic common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported net income of $2.68 million or $0.42 per basic common share.

President and CEO F. Brad Denardo commented, "Year-to-date earnings remain burdened by high interest expense, but we were pleased with the positive income statement trends in the third quarter. While 2024 has presented a difficult earnings environment, it has also been a building year for National Bankshares. Our acquisition of three branch offices in new markets, along with the upcoming opening of a newly constructed office in Roanoke, demonstrate our commitment to growth and to increasing long-term shareholder value."
Highlights
Merger: Income Statement Impacts
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded merger-related expense of $2.89 million. Upon acquisition of the Frontier Community Bank ("FCB") loans, the Company recorded a provision for credit loss of $1.29 million.
Merger: Balance Sheet Impacts
Consideration for the acquisition of FCB totaled $16.35 million, including $14.30 million in shares of the Company's common stock and $2.05 million in cash for shareholder elections, fractional shares and to settle outstanding options.
The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, with acquired assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. Key items are presented in the following table as of the merger date:

Within a short period following the merger, the Company sold FCB's securities and repaid its borrowings.
Net Interest Income
The net interest margin improved when the third quarter of 2024 is compared with the second quarter of 2024, with increases in loan yields that outpaced increases in deposit costs. The impact of the FCB acquisition benefited the full third quarter, while impacting only one month of the second quarter. Many of the Company's loans are adjustable with repricing dates in the future. If rates remain at the current level or do not decrease substantially, repricing will continue to contribute to improved interest income.
The cost of deposits increased when compared with the second quarter due to the acquisition and continued competitive pressure. The Federal Reserve's rate cut in September immediately decreased interest expense for adjustable-rate deposits. The Company continuously monitors its deposit base and funding costs.
Noninterest Income
When the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are compared with the same period of 2023, service charges on deposits increased due to an updated fee schedule and the FCB acquisition. Trust income increased due to expansion in assets under management. Noninterest income for 2023 reflects payout of a BOLI policy, gain on the sale of an investment in VISA Class B shares, and loss on the sale of securities.
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2024 increased slightly when compared with the second quarter of 2024, due to the FCB acquisition and positive trends in Trust income.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased when compared with the same period of 2023, due to the FCB acquisition and a contract termination expense. During 2023, the Company reported expenses, included in professional services, associated with a proxy contest.
When the third quarter of 2024 is compared with the second quarter of 2024, noninterest expense decreased. The majority of merger-related expenses were recorded during the second quarter. Other categories increased due to the FCB acquisition and marketing expenses to promote the acquired branches and the soon to open Roanoke branch.
Securities
Market interest rate expectations at September 30, 2024 improved the fair value of securities when compared with June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, reflecting the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut in September 2024. The Company's Asset Liability Management Committee closely monitors interest rate risk on all of the Company's financial assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has the ability to hold securities until maturity. Analysis as of September 30, 2024 did not indicate credit risk concerns with any of the Company's securities.
Deposits
The Company's depositors within its market areas are diverse and include individuals, businesses and municipalities. The Company does not have any brokered deposits. Depositors are insured up to the FDIC maximum of $250 thousand. Municipal deposits, which account for approximately 22% of the Company's deposits, have additional security from bonds pledged as collateral, in accordance with state regulation. Of the Company's non-municipal deposits, approximately 22% are uninsured.
Liquidity
The Company's liquidity position remains solid. The Company maintains borrowing lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB") and the Federal Reserve that provide substantial borrowing capacity. During 2023, the Company accessed short-term borrowings with the FHLB and Federal Reserve to reinforce liquidity. The advances were fully repaid due to the success of the Company's deposit strategy. Combined with a low loan-to-deposit ratio, positive results of the latest liquidity stress testing and success of deposit marketing, the Company believes it is well positioned to meet foreseeable liquidity demands.
Loans
Loans increased from June 30, 2024, driven by growth in consumer real estate and commercial real estate loans. The Company is positioned to continue to make every loan that meets its underwriting standards.
Credit Quality
Loan metrics continue to reflect low credit risk, with low charge-off and past due levels.
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2024 increased when compared with 2023 primarily due to the acquisition and improvement in the unrealized loss on securities, which is reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is excluded from the Bank's regulatory capital and does not affect regulatory capital ratios. The Bank is considered well capitalized, with capital ratios substantially higher than minimum regulatory requirements, and meets all requirements for borrowing from the FHLB.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
In addition to financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that provide useful information for financial and operational decision making, evaluating trends, and comparing financial results to other financial institutions. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and not a substitute for, or more important than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to those reported by other financial institutions.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document include fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") interest income used in the net interest margin, the efficiency ratio, and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets. For periods that are shorter than twelve months, the Company annualizes net income for the return on average assets and return on average equity. In order to prevent distortion, the Company does not annualize significant non-recurring income and expense items.
The following tables present calculations underlying non-GAAP financial measures. All dollars are in thousands.
