Exhibit 99.1

Primis Financial Corp. Reports Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations for the Second Quarter of 2022

Completed the Previously Announced Acquisition of SeaTrust Mortgage Company

Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.10 Per Share

MCLEAN, Va., July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Primis Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: FRST) ("Primis" or the "Company"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Primis Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income from continuing operations of $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and $8.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $0.20 on a basic and diluted basis, compared to $0.19 on a basic and diluted basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net income from continuing operations adjusted for nonrecurring income and expenses^(1)^ was $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 versus $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Adjustments, as described further below, include nonrecurring expenses due to branch closures and merger-related expenses. Operating earnings per share from continuing operations^(1)^ were $0.25 on a basic and $0.24 on a diluted basis, compared to $0.19 on a basic and diluted basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $9.6 million compared to $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Earnings per share from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $0.39 on a basic and diluted basis, compared to $0.71 basic and $0.70 diluted for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

As previously disclosed, on May 31, 2022, Primis Bank completed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of the stock of SeaTrust Mortgage Company ("SeaTrust"), a bank-owned mortgage company based in Wilmington, North Carolina, which was subsequently renamed Primis Mortgage Company ("Primis Mortgage").

Commenting on the quarter, Dennis Zember, Jr., President and CEO said "We have made significant progress in several areas of the Bank that we believe were limiting our market value. We have remixed our deposits with a focus on core deposits and checking accounts and built some unique lines of business that will change the market's opinion about our ability to grow. We have built a culture that is catching on in our local markets and beyond and have improved expertise and skills in our workforce rapidly. I believe this quarter's results and the movement in some of our key ratios are evidence that we are being successful."

  • Loans held for investment grew at an annualized rate of 24.7% for the first six months of 2022 or 30.8% net of a decline in PPP balances.

Operating Performance

The Company reported strong increases in key ratios and growth rates for the second quarter of 2022. Speaking about the performance improvement, Mr. Zember said, "Our primary focus is on two areas right now. First, to tweak the core bank's performance while rationalizing its cost base. We consolidated six branches in the current quarter and are planning to consolidate two additional in the third quarter. Secondly, to bring the lines of business quickly to the kind of profitability that moves the needle for our organization. Both Panacea and Life Premium Finance had substantial growth in the quarter and while their pipelines and expectations are just as substantial, the costs to produce and book this growth have already been incurred. I expect all of these decisions will compound and that our second half of the year will be exciting."

Lines of Business

While the Company's main business continues to be the core bank, management has invested diligently in certain lines of business that augment the profitability and growth rates a core community bank can offer shareholders. These businesses are resource light, digitally oriented and produce return on assets that are superior to bank only returns with better than average long-term credit quality. The table below highlights revenue and expenses directly attributable to the Company's various business lines. Net interest income in the table below also includes an assumed cost of funds given to each business line for illustrative purposes, with offsetting benefit to net interest income included in the bank column. The bank column includes all activities not captured in the business lines, including parent company activities.

Panacea has successfully built a nationally-recognized brand and now has ten national and state association partnerships. The division has banking relationships with over 2,000 doctor households across all 50 states. Panacea finished the second quarter of 2022 with approximately $143 million in outstanding loans, an increase of $61.4 million, or 76%, from March 31, 2022. At the end of the second quarter, Panacea's loan portfolio was 52% commercial, 28% consumer and 20% student loan refinance. As previously discussed, Panacea became profitable on a direct basis in the first quarter. Including an assumed cost of funds, Panacea became profitable on a funded basis in the second quarter as well as highlighted above.

Commenting on Panacea's recent momentum, Tyler Stafford, President of the division stated, "The success of Panacea's doctor-centric relationship banking model continues to compound within our target market of doctors across the country, evidenced with a 5.0-star customer review rating and the #1 ranking on TrustPilot within the "Bank" category. With our recently added bankers continuing to ramp, our pipeline of loan opportunities is well over $150 million and continues to build. As a result, we are increasing our loan growth expectations for 2022 from a range of $125 to $150 million to $175 to $200 million. Importantly, the credit quality of our portfolio remains pristine and, given the robustness of our pipeline, we are in a position to be even more selective on pursuing the strongest credits that maximize our profitability. Lastly, we have several deposit-focused initiatives underway which we expect to translate into stronger core deposit growth in the coming quarters."

The Life Premium Finance Division, launched in late 2021, ended the second quarter of 2022 with outstanding balances, net of deferred fees, of $99.7 million, compared to $13.0 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021. The Life Premium Finance Division is already showing a healthy level of profitability (including assumed cost of funds) with just 7 months of operations. The division's emphasis on technology, operational efficiencies and a superior customer experience continues to resonate with the marketplace. Total approved credit in the division finished the second quarter of 2022 at $413 million with remaining funding of premiums over the next three to five years.

Primis acquired Primis Mortgage Company on May 31, 2022 and successfully integrated its operations in June. On July 11, Primis Mortgage Company welcomed Chris Blevins to the team as a regional executive. Chris came from a large independent mortgage company where he managed a large region that generated annual production of approximately $6 billion. As previously discussed, the Company expects marginal contribution to earnings from mortgage in 2022 as Primis Mortgage builds out its team and achieves the needed scale and production capacity to make a meaningful earnings contribution in 2023.

As of July 25, Primis now offers a full service, full-featured checking account powered by its new digital platform. The account's low cost of acquisition and management allows the Bank to offer hyper-competitive terms. The account includes free overdrafts, refunds to the customer of debit and credit interchange income on its cards, free ATM transactions nationwide, bill pay, peer-to-peer capabilities and delivery of almost any conceivable banking service directly to customers' doorsteps in select markets.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased 12.9% to $24.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company's reported net interest margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 3.33% compared to 2.80% in the second quarter of 2021. Net interest income, excluding the effect of PPP fees, was $24.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $20.0 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $4.6 million or 23.1%. Also excluding the effects of PPP, the Company's net interest margin expanded to 3.35% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2.77% in the same quarter of 2022.

The Company's loan growth over the past several quarters and the improved asset mix has been the driver of positive movements in both margins and net interest income. Loans held for investment represented 84.7% of total average interest earning assets in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 74.6% in the same quarter of 2021. Yield on loans for the second quarter of 2022 was 4.20% compared to 4.34% in the second quarter of 2021. Loan yields in the second quarter, excluding the effect of PPP, were 4.23%, down from 4.46% in the same quarter of 2021.

Total cost of funds in the second quarter of 2022 was 0.53%, down from 0.66% in the same quarter of 2021. Continued growth in checking accounts as a percentage of total deposits and lower rates on other deposits led to the improvement. Total demand deposits and total non-time deposits at the end of the second quarter of 2022 were 24.3% and 87.7%, respectively, compared 19.1% and 85.9%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2021.

Non-interest Income

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Primis had non-interest income of $2.63 million, compared to $2.09 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to revenues associated with Primis Mortgage for only one month as the acquisition closed on May 31, 2022. The Company closed $27.0 million in loans in June, down 5.6% from May as the team transitioned to Primis. The rapid slowdown in the mortgage and housing markets have caused many mortgage companies to restructure substantially, reducing headcount in servicing, support and production. While the current market conditions are not ideal for substantial revenues and profitability in this sector, the opportunity to add the needed production capacity at much more reasonable terms than a year ago are real. The division expects to recruit profitable teams and the necessary support throughout the remainder of 2022 and be a material contributor to the Company's results in 2023.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $20.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which included $0.4 million in merger costs, $0.9 million in branch closure costs, and new mortgage expenses of approximately $0.8 million. Non-interest expense also included a recovery of unfunded commitment reserve of $168 thousand in the second quarter of 2022. Excluding merger costs, branch closure costs, new mortgage expenses and unfunded commitment reserve impacts, the Company's adjusted operating expense was $18.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 and $17.0 million for the second quarter of 2021.

The Company's operating efficiency ratio from continuing operations^(1)^in the second quarter of 2022 was 70.2% compared to 75.7% in the first quarter of 2022. The Bank intends to consolidate two more branch locations in the third quarter of 2022. Additionally, management has identified other areas of savings including consolidation of certain staffing positions, contract renegotiations and other opportunities that we expect could save between $3 million and $4 million per year. These amounts, combined with operating performance improvements at the Company's lines of business, could reduce the operating efficiency to below 63% by year end.

Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality

Loans held for investment increased to $2.63 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $2.39 billion at March 31, 2022. Loans held for investment grew at an annualized rate of 24.7% for the first six months of 2022 or 30.8% net of a decline in PPP balances. Loan growth was robust across the organization, particularly the Panacea and Life Premium Finance divisions which saw their growth rates accelerate in the second quarter. The Company believes loan growth will continue at a similar pace as the first half of 2022 for the rest of the year.

Nonperforming assets, excluding portions guaranteed by the SBA, were $19.9 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $15.1 million at March 31, 2022 driven by a large residential loan that had been adversely rated and is now subject to foreclosure. The loan-to-value on the property is less than 50% and no loss is anticipated. Loans rated substandard or doubtful increased to $27.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $23.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

The allowance for credit losses was $30.2 million at June 30, 2022, up $0.83 million from $29.4 million at March 31, 2022. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.4 million compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2022. As a percentage of loans, excluding PPP balances, the allowance declined to 1.16% at the end of the second quarter of 2022 compared to 1.24% at the end of the first quarter of 2022. The Company recorded $0.4 million in net recoveries in the second quarter of 2022 compared to net recoveries of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Deposits

Total deposits decreased slightly to $2.68 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $2.69 billion at March 31, 2022. Non-interest bearing demand deposits now represent 24.3% of total deposits and time deposits represent only 12.3% of total deposits at June 30, 2022.

Shareholders' Equity

Book value per share as of June 30, 2022 was $16.17, a decrease of $0.25 since March 31, 2022. Tangible book value per share^(1)^ at the end of the second quarter of 2022 was $11.77, a decrease of $0.34 since March 31, 2022. Shareholders' equity was $399 million, or 12.3% of total assets, at June 30, 2022. Tangible common equity^(1)^ at June 30, 2022 was $290 million, or 9.3% of tangible assets^(1)^. Equity balances decreased from March 31, 2022 to June 30, 2022 because of $8.5 million of unrealized losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities portfolio due to continued increases in market interest rates during the quarter. The Company has the wherewithal to hold these securities until maturity or recovery of the value and does not anticipate realizing any losses on the investments.

Additionally, the Board of Directors announced and declared a dividend of $0.10 per share payable on August 26, 2022 to shareholders of record on August 12, 2022. This is Primis' forty-third consecutive quarterly dividend.

Non-GAAP Measures

Statements included in this press release include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables. Primis uses non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its performance. The measures entitled net income from continuing operations adjusted for nonrecurring income and expenses; pre-tax pre-provision operating earnings from continuing operations; operating return on average assets from continuing operations; pre-tax pre-provision operating return on average assets from continuing operations; operating return on average equity from continuing operations; operating return on average tangible equity from continuing operations; operating efficiency ratio from continuing operations; operating earnings per share from continuing operations – basic; operating earnings per share from continuing operations – diluted; tangible book value per share; tangible common equity; tangible common equity to tangible assets; and net interest margin excluding PPP loans are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We use the term "operating" to describe a financial measure that excludes income or expense considered to be non-recurring in nature. Items identified as non-operating are those that, when excluded from a reported financial measure, provide management or the reader with a measure that may be more indicative of forward-looking trends in our business. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP items table.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information about Primis that allows management and investors to evaluate the ongoing operating results, financial strength and performance of Primis and provide meaningful comparison to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider Primis' performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of Primis. Non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized and, therefore, it may not be possible to compare these measures with other companies that present measures having the same or similar names.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.

Slide 3

Statements included in this presentation include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables. Primis uses non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its performance. The measures entitled pre-tax pre-provision operating earnings from continuing operations; pre-tax pre-provision operating return on average assets from continuing operations; operating earnings per share from continuing operations –diluted; tangible common equity; tangible common equity to tangible assets; tangible book value per share; and net interest margin excluding PPP loans are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP items table. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information about Primis that allows management and investors to evaluate the ongoing operating results, financial strength and performance of Primis and provide meaningful comparison to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider Primis’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of Primis. Non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized and, therefore, it may not be possible to compare these measures with other companies that present measures having the same or similar names. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.
