CLEARFIELD, Penn., Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CNB Financial Corporation (“CNB” or the “Corporation”) (NASDAQ: CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced its earnings for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Joseph B. Bower, Jr., President and CEO, stated, "The third quarter for CNB was filled with success. First was the $100 million capital raise which will support the growth CNB historically experiences. Second is the successful management transition. Mike Peduzzi took on the role of President and Chief Executive Officer of CNB Bank. Mike has been with us for over a year and has a great grasp on our culture and operating model. Finally, the financial results for the quarter are very positive, as reflected in our asset quality, loan and revenue growth and earnings per share."
Executive Summary
- On September 21, 2022, CNB successfully completed a common stock offering resulting in the issuance of 4,257,446 shares of common stock at $23.50 per share and net proceeds of $94.1 million after the deducting underwriting discount and customary offering expenses. The net proceeds from the capital raise will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital and funding the Corporation's organic growth across its multiple geographic markets, or evaluating potential acquisition opportunities.
- Net income available to common shareholders was $15.5 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $13.8 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting increases of $1.7 million, or 12.4%, and $0.08 per diluted share, or 9.8%. Earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year benefited primarily from growth in commercial loans and year-over-year increases in the balance of investment securities, stable credit quality, and an asset sensitive balance sheet supporting increased net interest income in the current rising rate environment.
- Processing fees on Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans (“PPP-related fees”) totaled approximately $74 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2022, remaining deferred PPP-related fees totaled approximately $23 thousand.

The loan growth, which was experienced across the Corporation's footprint, continued to benefit from the Corporation's ongoing expansion in the Cleveland and Southwest Virginia regions, as well as new opportunities from its new loan production office in Rochester, New York, combined with growth in the portfolio related to its Private Banking division.
- For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Corporation's balance sheet reflected an increase in syndicated lending balances of $27.0 million compared to December 31, 2021. The syndicated loan portfolio totaled $152.8 million, or 3.8% of total loans, excluding PPP-related loans, at September 30, 2022. The Corporation expects the level of this syndicated loan portfolio to remain stable going forward.

- At September 30, 2022, total deposits were $4.6 billion, reflecting a decrease of $91.8 million, or 1.9%, from December 31, 2021. While noninterest-bearing deposits increased approximately $75.6 million, or 9.5%, benefiting significantly from adding business and fee-generating treasury management deposit relationships, the Corporation’s total interest-bearing deposits decreased approximately $167.4 million, or 4.3%, from December 31, 2021.
- Total nonperforming assets were approximately $21.8 million, or 0.41% of total assets, as of September 30, 2022, compared to $20.3 million, or 0.38% of total assets, as of December 31, 2021, and decreased from $22.1 million, or 0.42% of total assets, as of September 30, 2021. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, net loan charge-offs were $310 thousand, or 0.03% of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $778 thousand, or 0.09% of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
- Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"), a non-GAAP measure, was $21.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $19.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting an increase of $2.3 million, or 11.6%.1
- PPNR, a non-GAAP measure, was $64.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $58.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting an increase of $5.7 million, or 9.8%.1
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 "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" section.
Michael D. Peduzzi, President and CEO of CNB Bank, commented, "Our third quarter results align very strongly with the themes presented to our investors with our recent successful common capital raise. We continue to experience quality loan growth while maintaining our historical discipline on credit structures and sound underwriting practices. Our asset-sensitive balance sheet position, coupled with our consistent loan growth, supported a higher net interest margin as our increase in earning asset yields more than offset the rising deposit and funding costs we and the banking industry are experiencing as a result of the Federal Reserve rate hikes. Our revenue diversification continues to progress with increasing fee income from wealth and asset management activities, treasury management services, and increasing cardholder usage and interchange income volumes. These all position us well, across our multiple markets and brands, to support the effective deployment of our stronger capital base."
Balance Sheet and Liquidity Highlights
- At September 30, 2022, the Corporation’s cash and equivalents position was approximately $209.8 million, including excess liquidity of $153.2 million held at the Federal Reserve, reflecting, in management's view, an adequate liquidity level.
- As of September 30, 2022, the total balance of investments classified as held-to-maturity was $408.2 million. There were no securities classified as held-to-maturity at either December 31, 2021 or September 30, 2021. During January 2022, investments with an amortized cost of approximately $100.6 million and a fair value of $101.1 million were transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity as a result of the Corporation's asset/liability management strategies. The transfer included $95.7 million of U.S. Government agency securities and $4.9 million of U.S. Treasury notes. During April 2022, mortgage backed securities with an amortized cost of approximately $120.2 million and a fair value of $112.6 million were transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity as a result of the Corporation's asset/liability management strategies. These bonds continue to provide liquidity through pledging and can be utilized as collateral against borrowings. In addition to these internal portfolio transfers, some of the investment purchases made by the Corporation during the first six months of 2022 were also classified as held-to-maturity securities.
- Book value per common share was $21.70 at September 30, 2022, representing a decrease of 3.5% from $22.49 at September 30, 2021. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP measure, was $19.61 as of September 30, 2022, reflecting a decrease of 1.3% from a tangible book value per common share of $19.87 as of September 30, 2021.1 The decreases in book value per common share and tangible book value per common share were mostly due to a $60.1 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income primarily from the temporary unrealized valuation changes in the available-for-sale investment portfolio, which was substantially, but not completely, offset by a $45.8 million increase in retained earnings.
Performance Ratios
- Annualized return on average equity was 14.97% and 14.50% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 13.51% and 13.46% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
- Annualized return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, was 18.21% and 17.63% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 16.34% and 16.35% for the comparable periods in 2021, respectively.1
- The additional capital raised and shares issued on September 21, 2022 will significantly impact future performance ratios and the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the earnings per share calculations, respectively.
- Efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP ratio, was 61.95% and 60.68% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 59.47% and 58.53% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The increases for the 2022 periods were primarily a result of expected increasing costs associated with the Corporation’s expanding franchise investments into the Cleveland and Southwest Virginia markets, coupled with its continued strategic investments in technologies focused on customer sales management, while expanding and improving customer connectivity capabilities.1
Revenue
- Total revenue (comprised of net interest income plus non-interest income) was $57.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase of $9.2 million, or 18.8%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the following:
- Net interest income of $49.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $9.6 million, or 23.9%, from the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of loan growth and the net benefit of higher interest rates. Included in net interest income were PPP-related fees, which totaled approximately $74 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
- Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 4.02% and 3.30% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.1
- The yield on earning assets of 4.45% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 73 basis points from 3.72% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of loan growth and the Corporation redeploying excess cash at the Federal Reserve to investment securities. Net interest income also reflected the net benefit of higher interest rates, partially offset by lower PPP-related fees in 2022 compared to 2021. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 4 basis points from 0.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to 0.56% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily as a result of the Corporation’s targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases, which are expected to impact deposit costs beyond the third quarter.
- Net interest income of $49.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $9.6 million, or 23.9%, from the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of loan growth and the net benefit of higher interest rates. Included in net interest income were PPP-related fees, which totaled approximately $74 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
- Total revenue (comprised of net interest income plus non-interest income) was $164.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase of $22.4 million, or 15.7%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the following:
- Net interest income of $138.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $21.1 million, or 17.9%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of loan growth and the benefits of higher interest rates in 2022 from variable-rate loans and net growth in the Corporation's investment portfolio. Included in net interest income were PPP-related fees, which totaled approximately $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
- Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.75% and 3.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.1
- The yield on earning assets of 4.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased 27 basis points from 3.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of loan growth and the Corporation redeploying excess cash at the Federal Reserve to investment securities. Net interest income also reflected the net benefit of higher interest rates, partially offset by lower PPP-related fees in 2022 compared to 2021. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 13 basis points from 0.55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 0.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily as a result of the Corporation’s targeted deposit rate strategies coupled with an increase in the mix of non-interest bearing deposits from 16.9% of total deposits at September 30, 2021 to 18.8% at September 30, 2022.
- Net interest income of $138.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $21.1 million, or 17.9%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of loan growth and the benefits of higher interest rates in 2022 from variable-rate loans and net growth in the Corporation's investment portfolio. Included in net interest income were PPP-related fees, which totaled approximately $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
- Total non-interest income was $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing an decrease of $455 thousand, or 5.4%, from the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily comprised of a $405 thousand increase in unrealized losses on equity securities and a $546 thousand decrease in mortgage banking activity. These changes were partially offset by a $477 thousand increase in income from charges on deposits and a $146 thousand increase in wealth management revenues as the Corporation benefited from an increased number of wealth management relationships.
- Total non-interest income was $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase of $1.2 million, or 5.1%, from the same period in 2021. Included in non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $651 thousand in net realized gains on available-for-sale securities. Excluding the impact of the realized gains on available-for-sale securities, a non-GAAP measure, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, total non-interest income increased $598 thousand, or 2.4%, from the same period in 2021.1 During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Wealth and Asset Management fees increased $435 thousand, or 8.7%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as the Corporation benefited from an increased number of wealth management relationships. Other notable increases during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included increased income from charges on deposit, pass through income from small business investment companies and bank owned life insurance mostly due to an $830 thousand gain resulting from death benefit proceeds. These were partially offset by unrealized losses on equity securities and decreased mortgage banking activity.
Non-Interest Expense
- For the three months ended September 30, 2022, total non-interest expense was $36.1 million, reflecting an increase of $6.9 million, or 23.6%, from the three months ended September 30, 2021. The third quarter of 2022 included expenses related to expansion of the Corporation's workforce in its growth regions of Cleveland and Southwest Virginia, increased incentive compensation accruals resulting from the Corporation's financial performance and increased investments in technology aimed at enhancing both customer experience and the Corporation’s sales management. Also, included in the third quarter of 2022 is an approximately a $267 thousand increase in accelerated retirement benefit expenses related to a pending executive retirement.
- For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, total non-interest expense was $100.6 million, reflecting an increase of $16.6 million, or 19.8%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the expense drivers discussed above.
Income Taxes

- Total nonperforming assets were $21.8 million, or 0.41% of total assets, as of September 30, 2022, compared to $20.3 million, or 0.38% of total assets, as of December 31, 2021, and $22.1 million, or 0.42% of total assets as of September 30, 2021.
- The allowance for credit losses measured as a percentage of total loans was 1.03% as of September 30, 2022, compared to 1.03% as of December 31, 2021 and 1.06% as of September 30, 2021. In addition, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was 211.5% as of September 30, 2022, compared to 193.6% as of December 31, 2021 and 186.1% as of September 30, 2021.
- Provision for credit losses was $1.1 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $1.1 million and $5.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Included in the provision for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $55 thousand and $641 thousand, respectively, related to the allowance for unfunded commitments compared to no accrual towards the allowance for unfunded commitments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
- For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net loan charge-offs were $310 thousand, or 0.03% (annualized) of average total loans including loans held for sale, compared to $778 thousand, or 0.09% (annualized), during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Capital
- As of September 30, 2022, the Corporation’s total shareholders’ equity was $516.1 million, representing an increase of $73.3 million, or 16.5%, from December 31, 2021, primarily due to the $94.1 million increase in additional paid in capital as a result of the Corporation's common stock offering and the increase from the Corporation's quarterly earnings, partially offset by a decrease in both common dividends paid during the quarter, and accumulated other comprehensive income, resulting primarily from the temporary unrealized reduction in the value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
- Regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation continue to exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels as of September 30, 2022.
- As of September 30, 2022, the Corporation’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP measure, was 7.85% compared to 6.45% at December 31, 2021. This increase was the result of the above-noted impacts of the Corporation's common stock offering, increase in retained earnings and decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.1

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). (2) Nonperforming TDR loans are also included in the balance of nonaccrual loans in the previous table. (3) Capital ratios as of September 30, 2022 are estimated pending final regulatory filings.
