CLEARFIELD, Pa., April 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CNB Financial Corporation (“Corporation”) (NASDAQ: CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced its earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Executive Summary
- Net income available to common shareholders ("earnings") was $11.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to earnings of $12.9 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The quarterly decrease was primarily a result of decreases in net interest income and non-interest income, partially offset by decreases in certain personnel costs, technology expenses and adverting expenses, as discussed in more detail below. The decrease in earnings and diluted earnings per share comparing the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to the $15.4 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, 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.
- At March 31, 2024, loans totaled $4.4 billion, excluding the balances of (i) syndicated loans, and (ii) any remaining balances on Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, net of PPP-related fees (such loans being referred to as the "PPP-related loans"). This adjusted total of $4.4 billion in loans represented a decrease of $7.0 million, or 0.16% (0.65% annualized), compared to the same adjusted total loans measured as of December 31, 2023 and an increase of $199.6 million, or 4.81% compared to the same adjusted total loans measured as of March 31, 2023. The decrease in loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to year-end 2023 was primarily driven by an increase in early loan payoffs combined with the Corporation remaining strategically focused on both managing the concentration in its commercial real estate loan portfolio, and remaining disciplined with loan pricing in support of its net interest margin. The growth in loans as of March 31, 2024 compared to loans as of March 31, 2023, resulted primarily from growth in the Corporation's recent expansion markets of Cleveland and Roanoke, combined with growth in the Columbus market and CNB Bank’s Private Banking division.
- At March 31, 2024, the Corporation's balance sheet reflected a decrease in syndicated lending balances of $30.0 million compared to December 31, 2023 and a decrease of $69.4 million compared to March 31, 2023, resulting from scheduled paydowns or early payoffs of certain syndicated credits. The syndicated loan portfolio totaled $78.7 million, or 1.78% of total loans, at March 31, 2024, compared to $108.7 million, or 2.43% of total loans at December 31, 2023 and $148.1 million, or 3.44% of total loans, at March 31, 2023. The Corporation continues to de-emphasize syndicated loans as it focuses on prioritizing funding on organic loan growth from its customer relationships.
- At March 31, 2024, total deposits were $5.0 billion, reflecting an increase of $38.8 million, or 0.78% (3.12% annualized), from the previous quarter end of December 31, 2023. The increase in deposit balances compared to December 31, 2023 was primarily attributed to an increase in municipal and retail deposits, partially offset by seasonal fluctuations in business deposits. In addition, the total number of deposit households increased by approximately 0.77% (3.11% annualized) between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Additional deposit and liquidity profile details were as follows:
- At March 31, 2024, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.4 billion, or approximately 27.70% of total CNB Bank deposits. However, when excluding $101.1 million of affiliate company deposits and $437.9 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits was approximately $884.6 million, or approximately 17.21% of total CNB Bank deposits as of March 31, 2024.
- The level of adjusted uninsured deposits at March 31, 2024 was approximately 5.60% lower than the prior quarter end's level. At December 31, 2023, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.4 billion, or approximately 28.21% of total CNB Bank deposits; however, when excluding $101.3 million of affiliate company deposits and $400.5 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits was approximately $937.1 million, or approximately 18.37% of total CNB Bank deposits as of December 31, 2023.
- The level of adjusted uninsured deposits at March 31, 2024 was approximately 5.60% lower than the prior quarter end's level. At December 31, 2023, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.4 billion, or approximately 28.21% of total CNB Bank deposits; however, when excluding $101.3 million of affiliate company deposits and $400.5 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits was approximately $937.1 million, or approximately 18.37% of total CNB Bank deposits as of December 31, 2023.
- At March 31, 2024, the average deposit balance per account for CNB Bank was approximately $33 thousand. CNB Bank had increases in municipal deposits, as well as retail customer household deposits, including those added from the 2023 launches of (i) CNB Bank’s “At Ease” account, a service for U.S. service member and veteran families, and (ii) CNB’s women-focused banking division, Impressia Bank.
- At March 31, 2024, the Corporation had $259.5 million of cash equivalents held in CNB Bank’s interest-bearing deposit account at the Federal Reserve. These excess funds, when combined with $3.6 billion in (i) available borrowing capacity from the Federal Home Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB") and the Federal Reserve, and (ii) available unused commitments from brokered deposit sources and other third-party funding channels, including previously established lines of credit from correspondent banks, result in the total on-hand and contingent liquidity sources for the Corporation to be approximately 4.3 times the estimated amount of adjusted uninsured deposit balances discussed above.
- At March 31, 2024, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.4 billion, or approximately 27.70% of total CNB Bank deposits. However, when excluding $101.1 million of affiliate company deposits and $437.9 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits was approximately $884.6 million, or approximately 17.21% of total CNB Bank deposits as of March 31, 2024.
- At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Corporation had no outstanding short-term borrowings from the FHLB or the Federal Reserve's Discount Window, while at March 31, 2023, the Corporation had $102.1 million in outstanding short-term borrowings from the FHLB and no outstanding borrowings from the Federal Reserve's Discount Window.
- At March 31, 2024, the Corporation's pre-tax net unrealized losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities totaled approximately $85.0 million, or 14.69% of total shareholders' equity, compared to $82.2 million, or 14.40% of total shareholders' equity, at December 31, 2023. The change in unrealized losses was primarily due to changes in the yield curve in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, relative to the Corporation’s scheduled bond maturities. Importantly, all regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation would still exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 if the net unrealized losses at the respective dates were fully recognized. Additionally, the Corporation maintained $100.3 million of liquid funds at its holding company, which more than covers the $85.0 million in unrealized losses on investments held primarily in its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, as an immediately available source of contingent capital to be down-streamed to CNB Bank, if necessary.
- Total nonperforming assets were approximately $30.7 million, or 0.53% of total assets, as of March 31, 2024, compared to $31.8 million, or 0.55% of total assets, as of December 31, 2023, and $23.7 million, or 0.42% of total assets, as of March 31, 2023. The decrease in nonperforming assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to paydowns and payoffs combined with a $596 thousand charge-down of one owner-occupied commercial real estate relationship (remaining balance of $308 thousand). The increase in non-performing assets at March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023 was due to a commercial and industrial relationship as previously disclosed in the fourth quarter of 2023, coupled with one commercial real estate relationship as previously disclosed in the third quarter of 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net loan charge-offs were $1.3 million, or 0.12% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $1.2 million, or 0.11% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended December 31, 2023, and $686 thousand, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in net loan charge-offs during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was primarily related to the one owner-occupied commercial real estate relationship discussed above.
- Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"), a non-GAAP measure, was $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $18.4 million and $21.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The first-quarter 2024 PPNR when compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected decreases in net interest income and non-interest income, partially offset by decreases in certain personnel costs as well as technology expenses, as discussed in more detail below.1 The decrease in PPNR for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to the significant year-over-year increase in deposit costs coupled with increases in certain personnel costs as well as technology expenses.
1 This release contains references to certain financial measures that are not defined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section.
Michael D. Peduzzi, President and CEO of both the Corporation and CNB Bank, stated, “Our first quarter results reflect several areas where our team is focused on translating potential revenue growth and cost-savings opportunities to realizing greater performance in the current interest rate environment. Though our total loan balances were down and our interest income was lower, this was a function of both (i) more early paydowns in the early part of the year, including some favorable payoffs of previously criticized loans, and (ii) a number of loans where term sheets with borrowers were approved, but the borrowers delayed obtaining financing expecting some reduction in rates. As the quarter progressed and the Federal Reserve seems to be staying put on rates for now, more borrowers are finalizing their borrowing plans, and both late quarter loan volume and pipeline build were stronger leading into the second quarter. This same pause by the Federal Reserve in interest rates has not provided as much opportunity to reduce pricing on interest-bearing deposit accounts as we would have wanted, but we were able to increase the number of our households and organic funding sources, and continue to increase our noninterest-bearing account relationships.
Expense management - both through resuming positive operating leverage and reducing our efficiency ratio - continues to be a priority. Our largest expense category, staffing costs, reflect our approach to managing these expenses through normal attrition, as well as through expense reductions in our profit-sharing plan. Technology expense was reduced as we continue to challenge relationships with existing vendors to restructure contracts to better align with our current operating profile, customer utilization of technology, and account volumes. As discussed in more detail below, in the third quarter of 2023 we made changes to our Card Services customer scorecard program that have led to an improvement in the margin associated with card transactions under this program. In addition, we are increasing fees on certain elements of wealth management and deposit services, with such increases fully taking effect in the second quarter, reflective of customers more reasonably covering the costs for services and product enhancements previously implemented by the Corporation for their benefit.
Though we are not satisfied with the compression of our net interest margin, a still higher-than-desired efficiency ratio, and lower quarterly net income and earnings per share, we believe the disciplined revenue generation and cost-savings measures we have put into place, and the still sound pipelines supporting future loan, deposit, and wealth management growth, collectively provide a reasonable basis for us to expect improved performance moving forward."
Other Balance Sheet Highlights
- Book value per common share was $24.77 at March 31, 2024, reflecting an increase from $24.57 at December 31, 2023 and $23.14 at March 31, 2023. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP measure, was $22.67 as of March 31, 2024, reflecting an increase of $0.21, or 3.76% (annualized) from $22.46 as of December 31, 2023 and an increase of $1.62, or 7.70%, from $21.05 as of March 31, 2023.1 The positive increases in book value per common share and tangible book value per common share compared to December 31, 2023 were primarily due to a $7.8 million increase in retained earnings partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss primarily from the after-tax impact of temporary unrealized valuation changes in the Corporation’s available-for-sale investment portfolio in the first quarter of 2024. The increases in book value per common share and tangible book value per common share compared to March 31, 2023 were primarily due to a $35.2 million increase in retained earnings for the past twelve months partially offset with a $1.1 million increase in treasury stock driven by the repurchase of 226,459 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $18.33 in the second and third quarters of 2023.
Loan Portfolio Profile
- As part of our lending policy and risk management activities, the Corporation tracks lending exposure by industry classification and type to determine potential risks associated with industry concentrations, and if any risk issues could lead to additional credit loss exposure. In the current post-pandemic and inflationary economic environment, the Corporation has evaluated its exposure to the office, hospitality, and multifamily industries within its commercial real estate portfolio. Even given the Corporation’s historically sound underwriting protocols and high credit quality ratings for borrowers in these industries, the Corporation monitors numerous relevant sensitivity elements at both underwriting and through and beyond the funding period, including projects occupancy, loan-to-value, absorption and cap rates, debt service coverage and covenant compliance, and developer/lessor financial strength both in the project and globally. At March 31, 2024, the Corporation had the following key metrics related to its office, hospitality and multifamily portfolios:
- Commercial office loans
- 120 outstanding loans, totaling $114.3 million, or 2.58%, of the Corporation loans outstanding;
- Nonaccrual commercial office loans (one customer relationship) totaled $508 thousand, or 0.44% of total office loans outstanding. One customer relationship had a related specific loss reserve of approximately $289 thousand, at March 31, 2024; and
- The average outstanding balance per commercial office loan was $952 thousand.
- Commercial hospitality loans
- 171 outstanding loans, totaling $263.5 million, or 5.95%, of total Corporation loans outstanding;
- There were no nonaccrual commercial hospitality loans at March 31, 2024; and
- The average outstanding balance per commercial office loan was $1.5 million.
- Commercial multifamily loans
- 208 outstanding loans, totaling $213.8 million, or 4.82%, of total Corporation loans outstanding;
- Nonaccrual commercial multifamily loans (one customer relationship) totaled $300 thousand, or 0.09% of total multifamily loans outstanding. The one customer relationship did not have a related specific loss reserve at March 31, 2024; and
- The average outstanding balance per commercial office loan was $1.0 million.
- Commercial office loans
The Corporation had no commercial office, hospitality or multifamily loan relationships considered by the banking regulators to be a high volatility commercial real estate ("HVCRE") credit.
Performance Ratios
- Annualized return on average equity was 8.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 9.97% and 12.60% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
- Annualized return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, was 9.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 11.27% and 14.58% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.1
- The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 69.08% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 67.66% and 61.04% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 68.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 66.93% and 60.47% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.1 The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 was primarily the result of a decrease in interest income coupled with rising deposit costs, partially offset by a decrease in quarterly personnel costs as a result of timing of incentive compensation accruals, as well as a decrease in technology expenses as the fourth quarter of 2023 included a one-time contract renegotiation expense.
Revenue
- Total revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income) was $54.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $56.8 million and $55.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
- Net interest income was $45.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $47.7 million and $47.6 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. When comparing the first quarter of 2024 to the fourth quarter of 2023, the difference in net interest income of $2.5 million, or 5.18% (20.85% annualized) reflected both the slight reduction in total loans outstanding quarter over quarter, plus the fourth quarter of 2023 including approximately $1.4 million in nonrecurring interest income related primarily to early payoffs in the syndicated loan portfolio. When comparing the first quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2023, the decrease in net interest income of $2.4 million, or 5.07%, was attributable to an increase in the Corporation's interest expense in the first quarter of 2024 as a result of the year-over-year previously noted deposit rate increases, as well as targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases to ensure both deposit relationship retention, and new deposit growth in recently entered expansion markets.
- Net interest margin was 3.40%, 3.54% and 3.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.38%, 3.51% and 3.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.1 Included in the fourth-quarter 2023 net interest margin and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis is approximately $1.4 million, or 10 basis points, in nonrecurring interest income related primarily to early payoffs in the syndicated loan portfolio.
- The yield on earning assets of 5.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased 1 basis point from December 31, 2023 and increased 52 basis points from March 31, 2023. The yield on earning assets for the three months ended December 31, 2023 included the previously mentioned $1.4 million, or 10 basis points, in syndicated loan one-time interest income. Additionally, the increase in yield compared to March 31, 2023 was attributable to the net benefit of higher interest rates on both variable-rate loans and new loan production.
- The cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 3.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased 14 basis points from December 31, 2023 and 109 basis points from March 31, 2023 primarily as a result of the Corporation’s targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases for deposit retention and growth initiatives given the competitive environment from numerous Fed rate hikes over the past twelve months.
- The yield on earning assets of 5.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased 1 basis point from December 31, 2023 and increased 52 basis points from March 31, 2023. The yield on earning assets for the three months ended December 31, 2023 included the previously mentioned $1.4 million, or 10 basis points, in syndicated loan one-time interest income. Additionally, the increase in yield compared to March 31, 2023 was attributable to the net benefit of higher interest rates on both variable-rate loans and new loan production.
- Net interest income was $45.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $47.7 million and $47.6 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. When comparing the first quarter of 2024 to the fourth quarter of 2023, the difference in net interest income of $2.5 million, or 5.18% (20.85% annualized) reflected both the slight reduction in total loans outstanding quarter over quarter, plus the fourth quarter of 2023 including approximately $1.4 million in nonrecurring interest income related primarily to early payoffs in the syndicated loan portfolio. When comparing the first quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2023, the decrease in net interest income of $2.4 million, or 5.07%, was attributable to an increase in the Corporation's interest expense in the first quarter of 2024 as a result of the year-over-year previously noted deposit rate increases, as well as targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases to ensure both deposit relationship retention, and new deposit growth in recently entered expansion markets.
- Total non-interest income was $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $9.1 million and $8.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, notable changes compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 included a decrease in service charges on deposits and net realized and unrealized gains on equity securities, partially offset by an increase in wealth and asset management fees and an increase in quarterly other non-interest income primarily driven by higher pass-through income from small business investment companies ("SBICs"). The increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to higher pass-through income from SBICs coupled with an increase in net realized and unrealized gains on equity securities.
Non-Interest Expense
- For the three months ended March 31, 2024 total non-interest expense was $37.4 million, compared to $38.4 million and $34.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease of $1.0 million, or 2.67%, from the three months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily a result of a decrease in salaries and benefits and technology expenses. The reduction in salaries and benefits primarily resulted from a decrease in full-time equivalent employees, as the Corporation continues to focus on improving efficiencies and processes, coupled with the timing of incentive compensation accruals. While the decrease in technology expenses was the result of approximately $394 thousand in one-time contract restructuring costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2023, the fourth quarter of 2023 also reflected higher advertising expenses due to timing. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Corporation also reduced the accrual related to card processing and interchange expenses as a result of changes made to its program that will lead to a lower relative expense level (when compared to related program revenues) in 2024 and beyond. The increase in non-interest expense compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to higher salaries and benefits driven by an increase in personnel costs related to merit increases and growth in the Corporation's staff and new offices in its expansion markets, coupled with year-over-year investments in technology applications aimed at enhancing both customer online banking capabilities, customer call center communications, and in-branch technology delivery channels. In addition, card processing and interchange expense for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.2 million, or 58.48% of card processing and interchange income, compared to $1.5 million, or 72.37% of card processing and interchange income for the first quarter of 2023.
Income Taxes
- Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $2.8 million, representing an 18.36% effective tax rate, compared to $3.2 million, representing a 18.45% effective tax rate, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and $3.9 million, representing a 19.18% effective tax rate, for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Asset Quality
- Total nonperforming assets were approximately $30.7 million, or 0.53% of total assets, as of March 31, 2024, compared to $31.8 million, or 0.55% of total assets, as of December 31, 2023, and $23.7 million, or 0.42% of total assets, as of March 31, 2023, as discussed above.
- The allowance for credit losses measured as a percentage of total loans was 1.03% as of March 31, 2024 compared to 1.03% as of December 31, 2023 and 1.02% as of March 31, 2023. In addition, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was 159.41% as of March 31, 2024, compared to 154.63% and 209.54% as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The change in the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was primarily attributable to the levels of nonperforming assets, as discussed above.
- The provision for credit losses was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and remained relatively stable compared to $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
- For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net loan charge-offs were $1.3 million, or 0.12% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $1.2 million, or 0.11% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale during the three months ended December 31, 2023, and $686 thousand, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as discussed above.
Capital
- As of March 31, 2024, the Corporation’s total shareholders’ equity was $578.6 million, representing an increase of $7.4 million, or 1.29%, from December 31, 2023 and an increase of $32.2 million, or 5.90%, from March 31, 2023 primarily due to an increase in the Corporation's retained earnings (quarterly net income, partially offset by the common and preferred dividends paid in the quarter).
- Regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation continue to exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels as of March 31, 2024, consistent with prior periods.
- As of March 31, 2024, the Corporation’s ratio of common shareholders' equity to total assets was 8.98% compared to 8.93% at December 31, 2023 and 8.75% at March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Corporation’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP measure, was 8.28% compared to 8.22% at December 31, 2023 and 8.02% at March 31, 2023. The increases compared to December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were primarily the result of an increase in retained earnings.1

| (1) Management uses non-GAAP financial information in its analysis of the Corporation’s performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. The Corporation’s management believes that investors may use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the Corporation’s financial performance without the impact of unusual items or events that may obscure trends in the Corporation’s underlying performance. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per share data). | |||||||||||
