Eller, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are well on our way to becoming a $3.0 billion asset bank, and when including Perpetual’s assets, we will have almost $2.6 billion in total assets. Our success is a testament to our strategic growth plan, the value we provide our local communities, and the commitment of F&M’s team members.”

On October 1, 2021, F&M successfully closed the acquisition of Perpetual Federal Savings Bank, Inc. (“PFSB”). PFSB is F&M’s third acquisition within the last twelve months and immediately enhances the Company’s growing franchise within compelling Ohio markets including Urbana, Columbus, Dayton, Springfield, Piqua, Tipp City, Troy, and Sidney. The integration and system conversions were completed on October 18, 2021, and PFSB’s financial metrics will be included in F&M’s fourth-quarter results.

Mr. Eller continued, “These three acquisitions, combined with our Michigan LPO and expansion plans have increased our presence in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, while diversifying our revenue streams and immediately contributing to earnings. I am proud of our team’s ability to quickly complete and successfully integrate these acquisitions. In addition, we have simultaneously been growing organically and I am encouraged by the 8.3% organic loan growth F&M produced during the quarter which is evidence of our talented local lenders, and the success of our recently opened offices and LPOs.”

Income Statement
Net income for the 2021 third quarter ended September 30, 2021, was $5.9 million, compared to $4.4 million for the same period last year. Net income per basic and diluted share for the 2021 third quarter was $0.53, compared to $0.40 for the same period last year. Net income for the 2021 nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $15.8 million, compared to $13.3 million for the same period last year. Net income per basic and diluted share for the 2021 nine months was $1.41, compared to $1.20 for the same period last year.

Adjusted net income, excluding one-time tax adjusted acquisition expenses, was $7.1 million, or $0.63 per share for the 2021 third quarter, compared to $4.4 million, or $0.40 per share for the 2020 third quarter. Adjusted net income was $18.2 million, or $1.62 per share for the 2021 nine months, compared to $13.3 million, or $1.20 per share for the 2020 nine months. Included in the financial table section of this press release is a non-GAAP reconciliation.

Mr. Eller continued, “We ended the quarter with record quarterly net income and earnings per share, when adjusted for one-time acquisition expenses. Adjusted ROACE was 9.78%, compared to 7.28% for the same period last year, while adjusted ROA was 1.17% during the 2021 third quarter, and 1.11% year-to-date. In addition, the Bank has had 16 consecutive months with an operating efficiency ratio in the 50% range when removing affiliate and acquisition expenses. Our strong third-quarter financial results and profitability reflect the benefits of our larger scale, diverse revenue streams, strong asset quality, and prudent expense management, and we believe earnings growth will accelerate in the coming quarters.”

Deposits
At September 30, 2021, total deposits were $1.87 billion, an increase of 22.9% from September 30, 2020, and an increase of 16.9% from December 31, 2020. The significant organic deposit growth being experienced is a result of continued strength in expanding relationships with new and existing customers, and the completion of the Ossian Financial Services, Inc. acquisition. In addition, we continue to see growing customer preferences to more stable and secure saving instruments as deposits have increased since the COVID-19 crisis began.

Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality
Total net loans, at September 30, 2021, increased 48.2%, or by $656.8 million to $2.02 billion, compared to $1.36 billion at September 30, 2020, and up 55.1% from $1.30 billion at December 31, 2020. The year-over-year improvement resulted primarily from the contribution of continued organic loan growth and the completion of the Ossian Financial Services, Inc. acquisition. Not including the Ossian acquisition and PPP, loans increased 12.6% organically from the same period a year ago. In addition, during the 2021 third quarter, the Company processed $37.3 million of PPP loan forgiveness and principal payments received, resulting in a total of $9.8 million of PPP loans within F&M’s loan portfolio at September 30, 2021.

Mr. Eller continued, “At September 30, 2021, there were only two loans totaling $3.4 million of COVID-related payment modifications, all of which are interest-only modifications and secured by real estate. This compares to 190 loans representing a balance of $165 million in deferrals at the peak last year. Overall asset quality continues to improve. We ended the third quarter with no charge-offs, and the lowest level of nonperforming assets in five quarters. As economic activity stabilizes, and F&M’s loan performance improves better than pre-pandemic levels, we expect contributions to our allowance for loan losses will also stabilize and align with loan growth in future periods.”

F&M continues to closely monitor its loan portfolio with a particular emphasis on higher risk sectors. Nonperforming loans were $6.2 million, or 0.42% of total loans at September 30, 2021, compared to $7.9 million, or 0.58% at September 30, 2020.

“We remain focused on operational excellence, investments in technology, supporting our communities, and ensuring a best-in-class experience for our customers. I am pleased with the Board’s decision to increase our quarterly dividend because of our strong year-to-date financial results and positive outlook. Across F&M, we are working hard to execute our strategic growth plan, and create lasting value for our customers, employees, and shareholders,” concluded Mr. Eller.

Stockholders’ Equity and Dividends
Total stockholders’ equity increased 4.7% to $254.7 million at September 30, 2021, from $243.4 million at September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2021, the Company had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.45%, compared to 10.65% at September 30, 2020.

In August 2021, F&M completed a $35.0 million private placement of 3.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due July 30, 2031 (the “Notes”) to various accredited investors (the “Offering”). The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including financing acquisitions and organic growth.

Tangible stockholders’ equity increased to $194.6 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $187.2 million at September 30, 2020. On a per share basis, tangible stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2021, was $17.33 per share, compared to $16.78 per share at September 30, 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has declared cash dividends of $0.52 per share, which is a 6.1% increase over the 2020 nine-month declared dividend payment. F&M is committed to returning capital to shareholders and has increased the annual cash dividend for over 27 consecutive years. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the dividend payout ratio was 33.81% compared to 42.66% for the same period last year.
