OP
OLD POINT FINANCIAL CORP (OPOF)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 2025 diluted EPS was $0.24, down 42.5% QoQ and 50.9% YoY as higher noninterest expense (merger-related) and lower noninterest income offset modest NII growth, while adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) was $0.43 vs $0.50 YoY .
- Core banking trends strengthened: NIM rose to 3.70% (3.71% FTE) from 3.63% in Q1; NPAs fell 19.7% QoQ to 0.24% of assets; management attributed margin gains to deliberate deposit mix actions .
- Funding/credit positioned well but mix shifted: total deposits fell $46.2M (-3.7%) from year-end as time deposits declined 21.3% offset by growth in savings; liquidity remained robust at $455.7M (32.5% of assets) .
- Dividend maintained at $0.14 (58.3% payout this quarter); merger with TowneBank advanced: shareholder approval (Jul 2) and all regulatory approvals received (Aug 14), with expected close on/around Sept 1, 2025—key stock catalyst into H2’25 .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- “We continued to manage our deposit mix, leading to meaningful improvements in our net interest margin,” with NIM rising to 3.70% (3.71% FTE) vs 3.63% in Q1 and 3.62% YoY .
- Asset quality improved sequentially: NPAs down 19.7% QoQ to $3.3M (0.24% of assets); nonaccrual loans fell; management affirmed ACL adequacy .
- Capital/liquidity strength: Tier 1 13.29%; leverage 10.57%; liquidity $455.7M (32.5% of assets) supports flexibility through merger close .
-
What Went Wrong
- Earnings pressure from expenses: noninterest expense rose $917K QoQ and $1.0M YoY, chiefly merger-related costs and higher compensation; efficiency ratio deteriorated to 86.6% from 78.5% in Q1 .
- Noninterest income fell $598K QoQ (from $3.8M to $3.2M) as Q1’s subordinated notes gain did not recur and repossessed asset sales produced losses .
- Deposit base declined $46.2M from year-end, driven by noninterest-bearing and time deposit declines (time -21.3%), partially offset by savings growth; loans were modestly lower from YE .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Near-term earnings were pressured by transitory items: merger-related costs (+$976K in Q2) and losses on repossessed asset sales, driving a higher efficiency ratio (86.6%) and lower EPS ($0.24) despite NIM expansion and slight NII growth .
- Underlying profitability remains more resilient than GAAP suggests: adjusted operating earnings were $2.178M ($0.43/share) vs $2.529M YoY, narrowing the YoY gap as core margin trends improved .
- Credit quality and reserves look adequate into the merger: NPAs fell 19.7% QoQ to 0.24% of assets; ACL/loans rose to 1.19% with low net charge-offs (0.13% annualized) .
- Balance sheet/liquidity strength is a buffer: $455.7M of liquidity (32.5% of assets) and strong capital (Tier 1 13.29%, leverage 10.57%) support stability through closing .
- Funding mix is shifting: time deposits down 21.3% from YE, savings up 2.7%, contributing to NIM gains; monitor further deposit migration post-close .
- Merger timeline is the primary catalyst: shareholder approval secured; all regulatory approvals obtained; expected closing around Sept 1, 2025 (cash election $41.00 or stock 1.14x TOWN per share, subject to proration) .
- Dividend maintained at $0.14 (58.3% payout this quarter); further distributions likely influenced by integration timing and earnings normalization post-merger .
