CLEARFIELD, Pa., July 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CNB Financial Corporation (“Corporation”) (NASDAQ: CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced its earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Executive Summary

  • Net income available to common shareholders ("earnings") was $11.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to earnings of $11.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The quarterly increase was primarily a result of an increase in net interest income and decrease in non-interest expenses, partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses, as discussed in more detail below. The decrease in earnings and diluted earnings per share from $12.8 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the significant year-over-year increase in deposit costs primarily resulting from Federal Reserve rate increases throughout 2023 and the resulting market impact to the Corporation's deposit base.

  • Earnings were $23.4 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to earnings of $28.2 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As previously noted, the decrease in earnings and diluted earnings per share comparing the six months ended June 30, 2024 to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the rise in deposit costs year over year.

  • At June 30, 2024, loans totaled $4.4 billion, excluding the balances of syndicated loans. This adjusted total of $4.4 billion in loans represented an increase of $73.0 million, or 1.68% (6.75% annualized), compared to the same adjusted total loans measured as of March 31, 2024, and an increase of $106.5 million, or 2.47%, compared to the same adjusted total loans measured as of June 30, 2023. The increase in loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by qualitative commercial and industrial growth in the Columbus market and continued new relationship growth in the Corporation's recent expansion market of Cleveland, and growth in CNB's Private Banking division with notable activity in the Roanoke market. The growth in loans as of June 30, 2024 compared to loans as of June 30, 2023 resulted primarily from growth in the Corporation's continued expansion into the newer markets of Cleveland and Roanoke, combined with growth in the Columbus market and CNB Bank’s Private Banking division. 

    • At June 30, 2024, the Corporation's balance sheet reflected a decrease in syndicated lending balances of $24.7 million compared to March 31, 2024 and a decrease of $91.7 million compared to June 30, 2023, resulting from scheduled paydowns or early payoffs of certain syndicated loans. The syndicated loan portfolio totaled $53.9 million, or 1.20% of total loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $78.7 million, or 1.78% of total loans, at March 31, 2024 and $145.6 million, or 3.26% of total loans, at June 30, 2023. The Corporation is closely managing the level of its syndicated loan portfolio as it focuses more resources on organic loan growth from its customer relationships.
