Earnings during the first quarter of 2024 totaled $2.7 million, a decrease of $156,000 from the $2.9 million earned during the three months ended March 31, 2023.  Basic earnings per share for CNB Community Bancorp, Inc.

The annualized return on average assets ("ROA") decreased to 0.88% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, down 12 basis points or 12.0% from 1.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Joseph R. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer of CNB Community Bancorp, Inc. and County National Bank, stated, "I have noted that since the turmoil of Spring of 2023 that included the failure of multiple banks, our industry has done a remarkable job in recovering from the stigma of those times.  Because CNB has a different client base and strategy that focuses on our communities and keeping our deposits working in those communities, we have continued to maintain a strong pipeline for both credit and deposits.  However, this interest rate environment has been challenging, and earnings were less than the first quarter of 2023. 

Furthermore, the market has continued to paint many smaller, essential community institutions with the same brush, which has weighed heavily on the market value of community banks in general.  At CNB, we value our shareholders as much as we value our clients and employees, so we have continued to dividend to our shareholders at levels at or above previous dividend levels.  I am confident in CNB's ability to continue to build value in our communities and with our shareholders throughout 2024 and beyond."
