However, net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, decreased slightly to $36.0 million from $36.3 million in 2023, attributed to higher average interest-bearing liabilities at elevated rates.

The company’s provision for credit losses decreased to $282,000 in Q3 2024 from $505,000 in Q3 2023, reflecting improved credit quality. Non-performing assets remained stable at $2.7 million, representing 0.18% of total assets, unchanged from the previous year.

Strategically, Old Point Financial continues to focus on enhancing its liquidity, which stood at $497.7 million as of September 30, 2024, up from $342.5 million at the end of 2023. The company’s total stockholders' equity increased to $115.5 million, an 8.1% rise from $106.8 million, primarily due to net income and reduced unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.

The bank's capital ratios remain robust, exceeding the Basel III minimums, and it has maintained a stable deposit base as a key source of liquidity. The company has not reported any significant layoffs or acquisitions during this period, focusing instead on organic growth and operational efficiency.
