First Community Ban k shares, Inc. Announces F irst **** Q uarter **** Results

Bluefield, Virginia – First Community Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCBC) (www.firstcommunitybank.com) (the “Company”) today reported its unaudited results of operations and other financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company reported net income of $7.87 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which was a decrease of $0.16, or 26.67%, over the same quarter of 2019.

Additionally, the Company recently declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders of twenty-five cents ($0.25) per common share. 2020 is the 35^th^ consecutive year of regular dividends to common shareholders.

First **** Quarter 2020 and Current Highlights


Pandemic and General
o The Company initiated social distancing practices at its branches and corporate offices on March 20 2020, and those continue today. Remote working environments were successfully initiated for approximately 80%, of the Company’s back office workforce.
--- ---
o Implemented a pay differential for employees continuing to work at branch and back-office locations.
--- ---
o In order to aid its affected customers, the Company modified or deferred payments on 887 commercial loans totaling $254.72 million in principal and 1,535 retail loans totaling $72.80 million in principal balances.
--- ---
o Through May 1, 2020, the Company processed 641 loans for proceeds of $58.26 million through the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program.
--- ---
o The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020 to address economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, provides financial institutions with the option to not comply with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) until the earlier of the end of the national emergency or the end of 2020.  The Company has chosen to not comply with ASU No. 2016-13 and its Current Expected Credit Loss methodology (“CECL”), as permitted by the CARES Act, during the national emergency.  Complying during the national emergency would impose significant and ongoing expenses on the Company and consume a significant amount of staff time when the need to process customer loan modifications and deferrals and PPP loan applications remains very high.  Management believes the incurred loss impairment methodology provides a more practical measurement of credit losses in the current economic environment.
--- ---

Income Statement
o Current year quarter earnings includes a loan loss provision of $3.50 million, an increase of $2.28 million over first quarter of 2019. The provision had the effect of increasing loan loss reserves $2.71 million during the first quarter to recognize the impact of the coronavirus slowdown.
--- ---
o Despite the significant increase in loan loss provision, return on average assets was 1.16% for the quarter.
--- ---
o Net interest margin increased 11 basis points to 4.71% compared to the same quarter of 2019, reflective of the addition of Highlands Bankshares, Inc.
--- ---
o The Company incurred $1.89 million in residual merger expenses related to the Highlands acquisition that occurred December 31, 2019.
--- ---

Balance Sheet
o Prior to the pandemic responses, the Company completed its stock repurchase authorization with the repurchase of 734,653 shares for approximately $21.87 million. Based on the current outlook for economic conditions, the Company decided to temporarily suspend any further share repurchases. As of March 31, 2020, the Company continues to significantly exceed regulatory “well capitalized” targets, as well as all capital targets of its capital management plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this news release include “tangible book value per common share,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted earnings,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “adjusted return on average common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” and certain financial measures presented on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis. FTE basis is calculated using the federal statutory income tax rate of 21%.  While the Company believes certain non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of its business and performance, they 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.
