CLEARFIELD, Pa., Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CNB Financial Corporation ("CNB") (NASDAQ: CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced its earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012. Highlights include the following:
- Net income of $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, or $1.38 per share, a 13% increase in net income and a 12% increase in diluted earnings per share over the year ended December 31, 2011.
- Loans of $927.8 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $77.9 million, or 9.2%, compared to December 31, 2011.
- Deposits of $1.49 billion at December 31, 2012, an increase of $131.2 million, or 9.7%, compared to December 31, 2011.
- Returns on average assets and equity of 1.00% and 12.17%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012.
- Tangible book value per share of $10.77 per share as of December 31, 2012, an increase of 10.1% over tangible book value per share of $9.78 at December 31, 2011.
- Cost of funds of 1.08% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 1.44% for the year ended December 31, 2011.
- Non-performing assets of $15.1 million, or 0.85% of total assets as of December 31, 2012, compared to $17.5 million, or 1.09% of total assets, at December 31, 2011.
Joseph B. Bower, Jr., President and CEO, commented, "We continue to be pleased with the overall asset growth of the Corporation of 11%, which has resulted in the 2012 net income growth of 13%. The Corporation's enhanced credit quality in 2012 should also provide for continued earnings improvement in 2013."
Net Interest Income and Margin
During the year ended December 31, 2012, net interest income increased $5.1 million, or 10.5%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. Net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis was 3.49% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 3.59% for the year ended December 31, 2011. Net interest margin was 3.47% in the first and second quarters of 2012, 3.53% in the third quarter of 2012, and 3.49% in the fourth quarter of 2012 as CNB was able to attract and deploy low cost core deposits into loans within our markets.
Although the yield on earnings assets decreased from 4.84% during the year ended December 31, 2011 to 4.42% during the year ended December 31, 2012, CNB's average earning assets increased from $1.41 billion to $1.62 billion, or 14.9%, resulting in an increase in interest income of $2.4 million, or 3.7%.
Due to growth in core deposits, interest-bearing liabilities have increased significantly during the last twelve months. Interest-bearing deposits as of December 31, 2012 grew $108.6 million, or 9.0%, as compared to December 31, 2011. However, CNB's total interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased by $2.7 million, or 15.1%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of decreases in the cost of core deposits. CNB's strong and growing deposit base and low cost of funds have, along with the increase in average earnings assets described above, offset the decline in yield on earning assets, resulting in the increase in net interest income.
Asset Quality
During the year ended December 31, 2012, CNB recorded a provision for loan losses of $6.4 million, as compared to a provision for loan losses of $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The provision for loan losses was $2.3 million in both the three month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
During the fourth quarter of 2012, an impaired commercial loan was partially repaid in October, resulting in an additional chargeoff of $109 thousand and a reduction in nonperforming assets of $1.8 million. In December 2012, one impaired commercial and industrial loan with a balance of $1.4 million was charged off. As of September 30, 2012, a workout agreement with the borrower was probable, which would have resulted in no loss to CNB. As a result, no specific reserve was recorded as of the end of the third quarter of 2012. In December, CNB obtained new information from the borrower and determined that the likelihood of a workout agreement or any future payments from the borrower was remote. Therefore, the loan was charged off and the provision for loan losses was increased by $1.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2012. In addition, the effect of increases in net chargeoffs in 2012 and the increase in the loan portfolio in 2012 had a significant impact on the allowance and provision for loan losses required for homogeneous loan pools as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan loss balance attributable to loans collectively evaluated for impairment increased from $11.1 million at December 31, 2011 to $12.2 million at December 31, 2012.
Non-Interest Income
Excluding the effects of the securities transactions described below, non-interest income was $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Net realized gains on available-for-sale securities were $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $614 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2011. Net realized and unrealized gains on securities for which fair value was elected were $461 thousand and $64 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. An other-than-temporary impairment charge of $398 thousand was recorded in earnings on structured pooled trust preferred securities during the year ended December 31, 2011.
Non-Interest Expenses
Total non-interest expenses increased $2.7 million, or 8.0%, during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. Salaries and benefits expenses increased $1.6 million, or 9.3%, during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, in part due to routine merit increases, an increase in full-time equivalent employees from 300 at December 31, 2011 to 323 at December 31, 2012, and increases in certain employee benefit expenses, such as health insurance costs, which continue to increase in line with market conditions. In addition, other non-interest expenses increased from $10.3 million for year ended December 31, 2011 to $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 as a result of CNB's continued growth.
Total non-interest expenses in relation to CNB's average asset size declined from 2.20% for the year ended December 31, 2011 to 2.10% for the year ended December 31, 2012.

| * - 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). |
