CNB Financial Corporation Reports First Quarter Earnings for 2011
CLEARFIELD, Penn., April 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CNB Financial Corporation ("CNB") (NASDAQ: CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced its earnings for the first quarter of 2011. Financial highlights as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 include the following:
- Net income of $3.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, a 51.7% increase in net income and an 8.0% increase in diluted earnings per share over the three months ended March 31, 2010.
- Returns on average assets and equity of 0.91% and 11.81%, respectively, compared to returns on average assets and equity of 0.72% and 12.04%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
- Net interest income of $11.3 million, a 19.7% increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.
- Total loans of $792.6 million, an increase of $81.2 million, or 11.4% compared to March 31, 2010.
- Deposits of $1,226.4 million, an increase of $193.9 million, or 18.8%, compared to March 31, 2010.
- Total non-performing assets of $16.1 million, or 2.03% of loans + OREO as of March 31, 2011.
Joseph B. Bower, Jr., President and CEO, commented, "We were pleased with our earnings in the first quarter of 2011. While deposit growth exceeded loan growth in the first quarter, we believe that an improvement in the local economy could result in increased loan demand, which in turn could provide the foundation for increasing revenues and improved margin."
Net Interest Income and Margin
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, net interest income increased $1.9 million, or 19.7%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis was 3.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to 3.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Although earning assets continue to grow, these increases have been offset by decreases in the yield on earning assets as a result of the current interest rate environment. In addition, the composition of earning assets has shifted to a greater percentage of investment securities as deposit growth is exceeding loan growth.
Due to growth in core deposits, interest-bearing liabilities have grown significantly during the last twelve months. Interest-bearing deposits as of March 31, 2011 grew $164.2 million, or 17.9%, as compared to March 31, 2010. However, interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased by $332 thousand, or 7.0%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of decreases in the cost of core deposits as well as the Corporation's repayment and refinancing of long-term debt in 2010.
Asset Quality
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, CNB recorded a provision for loan losses of $777 thousand, as compared to a provision for loan losses of $585 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was a result of increases in loss reserves, primarily in the commercial mortgage portfolio segment. One relationship comprising three commercial loans became impaired in the first quarter of 2011, resulting in an increase in non-accrual loans of $4.4 million. Based on CNB's evaluation of the underlying collateral, no losses associated with this relationship are expected.
Non-Interest Income
Net securities gains realized during the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $74 thousand, compared to net realized securities gains of $432 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $398 thousand and $784 thousand, respectively, was recorded in earnings on structured pooled trust preferred securities. CNB's remaining exposure in structured pooled trust preferred securities is $1.8 million at March 31, 2011. Excluding the effects of these securities transactions, non-interest income was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Non-Interest Expenses
Total non-interest expenses increased $164 thousand, or 2.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. Salaries and benefits expenses increased $266 thousand, or 6.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily as a result of an increase in full-time equivalent employees from 286 at March 31, 2010 to 295 at March 31, 2011.

* - Tangible common equity, tangible assets and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures calculated using GAAP amounts. Tangible common equity is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of stockholders' equity. Tangible assets is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of total assets. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by the number of shares outstanding. CNB believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors that is useful in understanding its financial condition. Because not all companies use the same calculation of tangible common equity and tangible assets, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures calculated by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per share data). |
