Review of Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2016, total assets of the Company were $4.22 billion, an increase of 9% from total assets of $3.88 billion at September 30, 2015. Average interest earning assets for the third quarter increased to $4.05 billion from $3.58 billion a year ago, and average interest bearing liabilities for the third quarter increased to $2.99 billion from $2.65 billion.

Loans held for investment grew to $3.22 billion at September 30, 2016 versus $2.92 billion a year ago, an 11% increase. Balances increased $68 million, or 9% annualized, during the third quarter of the year. Loans held for sale were $432 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $456 million at June 30, 2016, and increased from the third quarter 2015 balance of $378 million. The Company’s investment securities portfolio decreased slightly to $398 million from $413 million at the end of the previous quarter, and from $430 million a year ago.

Over the past year, deposit balances increased $286 million to $3.22 billion from $2.94 billion, an increase of 10%. Non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, which totaled $757 million and represented 23% of deposits, increased $137 million since September 30, 2015, or 22%. The increase in deposits is due primarily to continued growth in the number of accounts and balances in consumer and business non maturing accounts.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s net interest income increased 11%, to $33.0 million from $29.6 million, for the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the current quarter, the Company’s tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.35%, an increase from 3.33% for the prior sequential quarter and up from 3.31% for the first quarter 2016.

The yield on loans held for investment was 4.10% for the third quarter of 2016 versus 4.09% for the second quarter of 2016, while the yield on loans held for sale decreased to 3.65% for the third quarter of 2016 versus 3.71% for the second quarter, reflecting the lower interest rate environment for mortgage loans. The average balance of loans held for sale increased to $422 million in the most recent quarter, versus $366 million in the second quarter of 2016. The yield on total interest earning assets was 3.97% for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 3.99% for the previous quarter. For these same respective periods, the Company’s total cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased to 0.84% from 0.90%. Including DDAs, the Company’s total cost of funds decreased to 0.68% from 0.73%.

Commercial Banking Review

For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, net income for the commercial banking segment (the Bank) was $11.5 million, an increase of 4% from $11.0 million for the third quarter of last year. During the current quarter, the provision for loan losses was $990,000 versus a negative provision of $547,000 during the year ago quarter due to recoveries of charged-off loans. Before taxes and the provision for loan losses, the Bank’s income for the current quarter was a record $18.4 million.

For the current year to date period ended September 30, 2016, the Bank’s net income increased 10% to $32.5 million versus $29.6 million for the year to date period ended September 30, 2015. The year to date provision expense was $1.7 million versus $939,000 for the first nine months of 2015.

For the current quarter, there were net charge offs of 0.04% (annualized) of average loans outstanding. The allowance for loan losses was 1.04% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2016 versus 1.08% at September 30, 2015. This ratio decrease from a year ago is primarily the result of continued improvement of credit quality. The Company had no nonperforming loans at September 30, 2016 versus nonperforming loans of 0.02% of total assets at September 30, 2015.

Non-interest income was $1.4 million for the current quarter compared to $954,000 for the year ago quarter. Before gains on securities sales of $3.7 million, current year to date non-interest income was $3.6 million versus $3.2 million for the 2015 year to date period.

For the third quarter of 2016, non-interest expense was $15.9 million, compared to $15.8 million for the prior sequential quarter and $16.5 million for the first quarter of 2016. The efficiency ratio for the Bank was 46.4%, 48.7% and 52.2% for these respective quarters, which reflects the Company’s continued focus on expense controls. Comparing total non-interest expenses to $15.3 million for the third quarter of 2015, the increase is primarily the result of increases in personnel expense to support the Bank’s growth, including quarterly accruals for performance based compensation. At the end of September, the Bank closed its office in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia, and it expects to realize approximately $50,000 of expense savings per quarter.

Mortgage Banking Review

The Company’s mortgage banking subsidiary, George Mason Mortgage (GMM), was again extremely active as it accepted approximately $1.58 billion of loan applications during the quarter and $4.8 billion year to date. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, GMM reported a net profit of $2.8 million and operating net income of $4.3 million. Operating net income (a non-GAAP measure) excludes the impact of the Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 109 accounting requirement to record unrealized gains associated with the Company’s locked mortgage loan pipeline. Comparable recent quarterly results are shown below.

                               
      Q3 2016     Q2 2016     Q1 2016     Q4 2015     Q3 2015

Mortgage Banking: (in 000's)

                             
Reported Net Income     $2,816     $3,994     $3,553     $164     $631
Reverse Impact of SAB 109     1,446     (2,259)     (3,794)     765     1,760
Operating Net Income (Loss)     $4,262     $1,735     ($241)     $929     $2,391
                   

The net realized gain on sales and other fees, before the impact of SAB 109, was $17.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 versus $10.8 million for the same quarter of 2015. The gain on sale margin was 2.78% for the quarter versus 2.71% last quarter and 2.61% for the year ago quarter. The increase from previous periods is primarily due to the success of selling a majority of its production on a mandatory delivery basis.

Operating expenses were $11.5 million for the most recent quarter compared to $9.4 million last quarter and $7.9 million for the year ago quarter. The sequential quarter increase in expenses reflects $1.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of salary expenses associated with loans held for sale that are deducted from expense and reported as contra-revenue under GAAP. The expense increase over the same quarter of 2015 reflects added personnel costs related to compliance with the new TILA/RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) regulations. All other fixed expenses are consistent with the year ago period.

Loan applications totaled $1.58 billion during the third quarter of 2016, a slight decrease from $1.70 billion last quarter and up from $1.15 billion for the year ago quarter. Applications to refinance represented 37% for the current quarter, versus 25% of total applications last quarter and 26% for the year ago quarter. Although refi activity has been strong, GMM continues to focus on the more stable purchase money mortgage business.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Bernard H. Clineburg, Executive Chairman, said:

“We have always remained committed to maintaining and growing a strong financial services company for our employees, clients, the communities we serve, and especially our shareholders.

“In adhering to that mission, we recently announced our intention to merge with United Bankshares. Richard Adams, United’s CEO, and I have had a long standing relationship, and we believe that this merger represents a tremendous opportunity to create a dominant bank in the Washington DC metropolitan area which will benefit our customers and shareholders. The process to seek required approvals from shareholders and regulators has begun, and we have commenced to collaborate on integration plans.

"Our third quarter results are indicative of our commitment to continue our positive momentum as we begin to focus on combining our companies. The quarterly results show improving profitability metrics while maintaining pristine asset quality levels. Increased balances in the loan portfolio combined with an increasing net interest margin resulted in revenue growth over both the previous quarter and same quarter last year. George Mason continued to have strong activity as applications for loan originations were almost $1.6 billion, which is reflective of our ongoing commitment to building a quality team of mortgage bankers with deep ties to the realtor and builder communities."

**
Per the accounting guidance set forth by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 109 regarding mortgage lending activities, the fair value of a "locked" commitment, or an unrealized gain, is recognized in income on the day of the locked commitment (LC). As a result of this revenue recognition, the unrealized gains then become part of the basis of the ensuing loan held for sale (LHFS) when the loan is closed. When the loan is sold to investors, the “price" received is equal to the basis of the loan held for sale, and there is no gain or loss recognized. At any point in time (e.g. quarter end) the fair value of the LCs and the premium to the par value of LHFS represent unrealized gains that have been recognized in income, either in the current period or prior periods. This accounting creates a mismatch between the income recognition on loan production and expense recognition for those same loans, which is discussed below.
 
In accordance with accounting rules (ASC 310-20, formerly FAS 91), direct (e.g. commissions) and indirect loan expenses associated with originating, underwriting and closing loans are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan. In mortgage banking, this results in the mentioned expenses being recognized at the time of investor purchase of the loan (i.e. loan sale date) which often occurs in the quarter subsequent to the original LC and creates a mismatch in the timing of the revenue and expense. These expenses are “netted” from the gain on sale from mortgage banking activities, which is included in non-interest income.
