LCNB Corp. Reports Financial Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Ended the Third Quarter with a Stable Deposit Base and a 90.20% Loan-to-Deposit Ratio

Net Loans Increased 5.8% Year-over-Year to a Record of $1.45 Billion

Asset Quality Remains Excellent with Total Nonperforming Loans to Total Loans of 0.02% at September 30, 2023

LCNB Wealth Management Assets Up 18.9% Year-over-Year to $1.10 Billion

Cincinnati Bancorp, Inc. Acquisition Expected to Close in November 2023

LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") (NASDAQ: LCNB) today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Commenting on the financial results, LCNB President and Chief Executive Officer Eric Meilstrup said, “LCNB achieved another solid quarter of growth, as total assets increased 4.0% from the same period a year ago to a record $1.98 billion, primarily due to a 5.8% increase in net loans. Significant competition for deposits and higher year-over-year levels of borrowings continue to increase our cost of funds and impact profitability and we expect these trends to continue over the near term. As we approach the end of 2023, we remain focused on managing non-interest expenses as well as maintaining excellent asset quality and strong liquidity levels. I am pleased with the progress our team continues to make in 2023 and their ability to execute our strategic objectives and deliver solid results. I want to thank our dedicated employees for all their hard work.”

Mr. Meilstrup continued, “Upon completion of the Cincinnati Bancorp acquisition, LCNB expects to have approximately $2.3 billion in total assets, $1.7 billion in loans and $1.8 billion in deposits. In addition, Cincinnati Bancorp expands our presence throughout the greater Cincinnati market and allows us to enter the Northern Kentucky market with one branch office. We believe the acquisition of Cincinnati Bancorp will enhance LCNB’s long-term profitability by providing our local, community-oriented financial services to more customers throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, leveraging Cincinnati Bancorp’s mortgage platform, and allowing us to offer Cincinnati Bancorp’s customers more financial products, including our Wealth Management solutions. We look forward to completing the acquisition in the coming weeks and welcoming Cincinnati Bancorp customers, employees, and shareholders to LCNB.”

Income Statement

Net income for the 2023 third quarter was $4,070,000, compared to $5,579,000 for the same period last year. Earnings per basic and diluted share for the 2023 third quarter were $0.37, compared to $0.49 for the same period last year. Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $12,921,000, compared to $15,720,000 for the same period last year. Earnings per basic and diluted share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 were $1.16, compared to $1.36 for the same period last year.

Adjusted net income for the 2023 third quarter was $4,309,000, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $5,579,000, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Adjusted net income accounts for the impact of one-time merger-related expenses, net of tax, associated with the Cincinnati Bancorp, Inc. acquisition. Adjusted net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $13,507,000, or $1.22 per diluted share, compared to $15,720,000, or $1.36 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $13,571,000, compared to $15,444,000 for the comparable period in 2022. Net interest income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $41,690,000, as compared to $44,834,000 in the same period last year. Contributing to the variances for both the three and nine-month periods were increases in the amount of long and short-term borrowings combined with higher interest expense associated with the rapid year-over-year increase in the Effective Federal Funds Rate. An increase in interest income from loans due to increases in the volume of average loans outstanding and the average rates earned on these loans partially offset the borrowings and deposit variances. For the 2023 third quarter, LCNB’s tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.04%, compared to 3.54% for the same period last year. For the 2023 nine-month period, LCNB’s tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.20%, compared to 3.48% for the same period last year.

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $3,578,000, compared to $3,581,000 for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-interest income increased $146,000, or by 1.4%, to $10,805,000, compared to $10,659,000 for the same period last year. The increase in non-interest income for the nine-month period was primarily due to higher fiduciary income and a decrease in net losses recognized on equity securities, partially offset by decreased service charges and fees on deposit accounts and lower gains on sales of loans.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $106,000 less than the comparable period in 2022 primarily due to the absence of losses recognized on the sale of a decommissioned office building during the 2022 quarter, partially offset by $302,000 in one-time merger-related expenses recognized during the third quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-interest expense was $778,000 higher than the comparable period in 2022, partially due to $742,000 in merger-related expenses, partially offset by gains recognized on the sale of a decommissioned office building during the second quarter 2023 and the absence of losses recognized on the sale of two decommissioned office buildings during the 2022 period. In addition, non-interest expense for the 2022 nine-month period was lower than it otherwise would have been because of an $889,000 gain recognized during the second quarter 2022 from the sale of other real estate owned.

Capital Allocation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, LCNB invested $3.3 million to repurchase 199,913 shares of its outstanding stock at an average price of $16.47 per share. This equates to approximately 1.78% of the Company’s outstanding common stock prior to the repurchase. At September 30, 2023, LCNB had 315,047 shares remaining under its February 2023 share repurchase program.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, LCNB paid $0.21 per share in dividends, a 5.0% increase from $0.20 per share for the third quarter last year. Year-to-date, LCNB has paid $0.63 per share in dividends, compared to $0.60 per share for the nine-month period last year.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at September 30, 2023 increased 4.0% to a record $1.98 billion from $1.90 billion at September 30, 2022. Net loans at September 30, 2023 increased 5.8% to a record $1.45 billion, compared to $1.37 billion at September 30, 2022.

Total deposits at September 30, 2023 decreased 2.4% to $1.62 billion, compared to $1.66 billion at September 30, 2022. While LCNB continues to experience greater competition for deposit accounts, total deposits at September 30, 2023 increased 1.3% from June 30, 2023.

Assets Under Management

Total assets managed at September 30, 2023 were a record $3.23 billion, compared to $3.03 billion at September 30, 2022. The year-over-year increase in total assets managed was primarily due to increases in LCNB Corp. total assets, trust and investments, and brokerage accounts. Trust and investments and brokerage accounts increased due to a higher number of new LCNB Wealth Management customer accounts opened over the past twelve months and an increase in the fair value of managed assets, partially offset by decreases in cash management accounts.

Asset Quality

For the 2023 third quarter, LCNB recorded a total net recovery of credit losses of $114,000, compared to a total net recovery of credit losses of $157,000 for the 2022 third quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, LCNB recorded a total net recovery of credit losses of $141,000, compared to a total provision for credit losses of $269,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Net charge-offs for the 2023 third quarter were $33,000, or 0.01% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $32,000, or 0.01% of average loans, for the same period last year. For the 2023 nine-month period, net charge-offs were $82,000, or 0.01% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $131,000, or 0.01% of average loans, for the 2022 nine-month period.

Total nonperforming loans, which include non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, decreased $204,000 from $465,000 or 0.03% of total loans at September 30, 2022, to $261,000 or 0.02% of total loans at September 30, 2023. Nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.01% at September 30, 2023, compared to 0.02% at September 30, 2022.
