TowneBank is a Virginia-based financial institution that provides a range of banking and financial services, with a mission centered around serving communities and enriching lives. The company operates over 50 offices across Virginia and North Carolina and includes various affiliated companies offering services in wealth management, insurance, and real estate.
TowneBank has reported its financial results for the year 2024, showing an increase in earnings to $161.76 million, up from $153.72 million in 2023. Earnings per diluted share also rose to $2.15, highlighting the company’s ability to improve profitability amidst a challenging economic environment. The bank’s diversified income streams, including strong contributions from mortgage banking and insurance commissions, played a significant role in offsetting a slight decrease in total revenues.
Key financial metrics revealed that TowneBank experienced a modest increase in loans, with loans held for investment rising by $130.03 million. Total deposits grew by $544.09 million, reflecting a strategic focus on maintaining liquidity and capital levels. The company also saw a boost in net interest income during the fourth quarter, driven by higher loan interest income, while noninterest income benefited from increased residential mortgage banking and insurance commissions. However, the net interest margin slightly declined from 3.06% to 2.90% year over year due to higher deposit costs.
Looking ahead, TowneBank is optimistic about further growth opportunities, particularly with the upcoming acquisition of Village Bank and Trust Financial Corp. The management plans to focus on expanding its loan and deposit base and enhancing its fee-based businesses through organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
TowneBank’s management remains committed to prudently managing its operations in line with its conservative Main Street banking model, aiming to continue delivering value to shareholders and supporting the economic growth of the communities it serves.
