Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company"), a Virginia corporation, was formed in 1988 and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company is headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia and conducts its business activities primarily through the branch offices of its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Blue Ridge Bank, National Association (the "Bank"). The Company exists primarily for the purposes of holding the stock of its subsidiary, the Bank.

The Bank operates under a national charter and is subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). Consequently, it undergoes periodic examinations by this regulatory authority.

On January 31, 2021, the Company completed a merger with Bay Banks of Virginia, Inc. (“Bay Banks”), a bank holding company conducting substantially all its operations through its bank subsidiary, Virginia Commonwealth Bank, and its wealth and trust management subsidiary, VCB Financial Group, Inc. (the “Financial Group”). Immediately following the Company’s merger with Bay Banks, Bay Banks’ subsidiary bank was merged with and into the Bank, while the Financial Group became a subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Bay Banks Merger”).

The Financial Group provides management services for personal and corporate trusts, including estate planning, estate settlement and trust administration, and investment and wealth management services from its Richmond and Kilmarnock, Virginia offices. Products and services include revocable and irrevocable living trusts, testamentary trusts, custodial accounts, investment planning, brokerage services, insurance investment managed accounts, and managed and self-directed individual retirement accounts.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Bank, the Financial Group, PVB Properties, LLC, and MoneyWise Payroll Solutions, Inc. (net of noncontrolling interest) and were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Information contained herein as of March 31, 2021 includes the balances of Bay Banks; information contained herein as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 does not include the balances of Bay Banks. Information for the three months ended March 31, 2021 includes the operations of Bay Banks only for the period immediately following the effective date of the Bay Banks Merger (January 31, 2021) through March 31, 2021.

On March 17, 2021, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a three-for-two stock split (“Stock Split”) effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend on its common stock outstanding paid on April 30, 2021 to shareholders of record as of April 20, 2021. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares based on the closing price of common stock on the record date. References made to outstanding shares or per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and disclosures have been adjusted to reflect the Stock Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.

Certain amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations, including the following circumstance. The reclassifications had no effect on net income, net income per share, or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Correction of Immaterial Classification Error

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company determined a loan arrangement with a third-party financial institution for the purpose of residential mortgage loan originations, which had been reported on its consolidated balance sheets in loans held for sale, should be reported as loans held for investment.

The Company has changed the classification of this loan on its December 31, 2020 consolidated balance sheet to reflect it as held for investment. The change in classification resulted in a $30.4 million decrease from what was previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 in loans held for sale with a corresponding increase of the same amount in loans held for investment as of December 31, 2020.

The change in classification does not affect the Company’s reported earnings for 2020, as the Company does not believe any material allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) would have been necessary for this loan as of December 31, 2020, and the Company believes its ALL was adequate as of December 31, 2020. This reclassification does not change total loans or total assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company has evaluated the effect of the incorrect presentation, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and concluded that it did not materially misstate the Company’s previously issued financial statements.
