F&M Bank Corp. 2013 Annual Report

Dean Withers President & CEO

F&M Bank Corp. ANNUAL REPORT 2013 

We  remain  in  our  eyes  the  Premier 
Community  Bank 
in  our  markets 
and  I  hope  you  agree.    Your  staff 
and  management  are  committed 
to  remaining  so,  and  to 
improv-
ing  upon  what  we  have  accom-
plished  over  our  105  year  history. 

I hope to see everyone at the annual 
meeting in May.  

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

For  2013  we  had  net  income  of 
$4.716  million  compared  to  $4.901 
million  for  2012.   The  difference  was 
attributed to a decrease in the Loans 
Held for Sale from $77.207 million to 
$3.804 million.  With interest rates ris-
ing in the secondary market through-
out  the  year,  and  fewer  individuals 
refinancing  to  get  lower  rates,  the 
number  of  loans  and  income  we  re-
ceived  from  the  Loans  Held  for  Sale 
category  was  significantly  lower  in 
2013  versus  2012.  Real  estate  val-
ues  increased  some  and  the  over-
all  economy  continued  to  improve. 
Both  of  these  factors  should  lead  to 
improved earnings in the future. De-
posits  increased  $10.353  million  (to 
$464.149 million) and Loans Held for 
Investment increased $12.634 million 
(to  $478.453  million).  Our  Net  Inter-
est  Margin  increased  from  3.92%  to 
4.02%.    We  continue  to  offer  a  very 
competitive  mix  of  deposit  prod-
ucts  including  Internet  banking,  free 
online  bill  pay,  and  mobile  deposit 
features.    We  also  are  competitive 
with  our  loan  products  and  are  able 
to  process  the  applications  quicker 
than  our  mega  bank  competitors. 

We  now  have  a  full  year’s  perfor-
mance  from  our  Augusta  County 
Loan  Production  office  and  our  In-
direct  Dealer  Division.  I  am  happy 
to  report  that  both  are  performing 
above  our  budgeted  expectations.  
Total loans at year end for both divi-
sions were approximately $37 million. 

Nonperforming Loans as a percentage 
of  Assets  remained  stable  at  2.75%.  
This is still higher than we would like 
for it to be.  We continue to work dili-
gently to collect these balances; how-
ever, the ratio seems to stay relatively 
the same.  Charge offs also remained 
higher  than  we  like  at  .78%. With  an 
improving economy, we can hopefully 
get both ratios back to normal levels. 

We also continued to pay a good re-
turn through dividends to our share-
holders. At the current price of $17.21 
and  a  dividend  of  $.68  the  return  is 
3.95%.  Stockholder Equity increased 
from  $46.180  million  to  $54.141  mil-
lion  and  Book  Value  increased  to 
$21.56.    We  are  working  hard  to  in-
crease the visibility of our stock to the 
investment  community.  Hopefully, 
more  brokers  will  see  the  value  in 
our stock and recommend it as an in-
vestment opportunity to their clients. 

I  encourage  everyone  to  review  the 
enclosed  10K  for  details  regarding 
our  financial  performance  for  2013.  
We  are  certainly  available  for  ques-
tions if there is an area that you don’t 
understand.

F&M Bank Corp. ANNUAL REPORT 2013 

  
 
 
One of our favorite banks is  
Farmers & Merchants. We started  
our relationship three or four years 
ago with F&M Bank because they 
have always been a great contributor 
to the community and we are 
always looking for great banking  
relationships.  

We are able to talk with them  
about our needs and they listen  
to us, they are flexible enough to 
understand our different needs, 
and they are able to address them.

GIVING BACK 
F&M employees continue to spend 
time volunteering and working 
together in our local communities. 
In 2013 nearly 50 employees visited 
schools with financial literacy 
programs such as Teach Children 
to Save, Everfi, and Cemark. Other
bankers volunteered for special 
causes of their choice, recruited 
teams for Big Brothers Big Sisters’ 
Bowl for Kids’ Sake, or spent the 
day repairing homes and 
businesses with United Way’s 
Day of Caring in Rockingham 
and Shenandoah Counties..

2013 Year in Review

EXPANSION AND GROWTH 
The Dealer Finance Division in 
Harrisonburg and Fishersville’s Loan 
Production Office produced  
significant volumes of new loans 
for F&M, ending the year with $20.6 
and $16.7 million in loans outstand-
ing, respectively.  The Bank’s Net 
Interest Margin also increased from 
3.92% to 4.02% (every .01% is worth 
approximately $52,000 of annual-
ized earnings). In addition, funding 
of the Bank’s Allowance for Loan 
Losses was reduced by $425,000, 
with an outlook to continue this 
trend in 2014. 

Shareholders received $.68 
per share in dividends, which 
represents a dividend payout 
ratio of approximately 4% based 
on a stock price just above 
$17 per share. 

In early November, five new F&M 
ATMs were installed at Rite-Aid 
Pharmacies in Staunton, Stuarts 
Draft, Verona, and Waynesboro, VA. 

F&M Bank Corp. ANNUAL REPORT 2013 

KEEPING UP TO DATE 
In response to the changing 
financial industry, F&M began 
developing a new website for 
launch in 2014. During this time, 
the Bank also updated its mobile 
banking applications for Apple and 
Android devices, and introduced 
Mobile Deposit Capture, giving 
customers additional banking 
options and convenience.  

REFRESHING THE BRAND 
The Farmers & Merchants Bank logo 
was redesigned and updated with 
negative space added to the tree 
base, while the canopy was also 
redefined to express growth. 
The former Farmers & Merchants’ 
logo was evolved to accommodate 
the shortened moniker, F&M Bank, 
and more accurately represent 
the growing, Valley-based 
community bank. 

ACCOLADES  
F&M Bank received national 
recognition from three 
banking publications for being 
81st of the top 200 banks in USA 
for Return on Equity, 14th of the 
top 50 banks for loan production, 
and one of the top 50 banks in 
social media efforts.

NEW REFERRAL PROGRAM  
In early March, all 157 employees 
were involved in training and 
kicking off Velocity Referral  
Solutions, an invitation checking  
program, which has helped us 
grow our customer base substantially.  

Through out the year, employees 
used creative themes and decor-
ations in the branches as talking 
points to introduce customers to 
the program. Velocity helped F&M 
open 229 new accounts in 2013. 

HELPING SMALL BUSINESS 
In the City of Harrisonburg and the 
Counties of Augusta and Rocking-
ham, Business Development officers 
partnered with affiliate, Bankers 
Insurance to host several healthcare 
reform bill symposiums that assisted 
small business owners with the new 
legislation. 

ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY 
All nine F&M branches hosted 
events for the community in 2013 
such as customer appreciation days, 
identity theft protection and 
document shredding events in 
partnership with Cintas, and Kids’ 
Days with unique themes and 
activities for school-age children.  

In June, the Elkton branch 
celebrated its 40th anniversary 
with a 1970s themed customer 
appreciation day and in July, the 
Timberville branch celebrated the 
60th anniversary of both the branch 
and employee Jean Estep with a 
free BBQ lunch for customers.
