LEBANON, Ohio--()--LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") (NASDAQ: LCNB) today announced financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Commenting on the financial results, LCNB President and Chief Executive Officer Eric Meilstrup said, “Our second quarter results demonstrate the initial contribution of the April 12, 2024 Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. (“EFBI” or “Eagle”) acquisition and the growing benefits of the November 1, 2023 Cincinnati Bancorp, Inc. (“Cincinnati Federal”) acquisition. As a result of these transformative transactions, LCNB's scale increased to $4.21 billion in total assets managed, becoming one of the largest independent community banks in Ohio. I am extremely proud of how our teams have come together to successfully integrate the Eagle and Cincinnati Federal acquisitions. During the 2024 second quarter, we completed the data and customer conversion of the Eagle transaction, and we are now on one system under the LCNB brand.”

Mr. Meilstrup continued, “We believe our financial results are beginning to reflect the benefits of our larger scale and the opportunities to provide additional financial services to customers across our Ohio and Kentucky markets, including expanded wealth management solutions, greater mortgage loan capabilities, and additional cash management offerings. As a result, we experienced year-over-year and sequential growth in non-interest income, and we saw a 14-basis point sequential increase in our tax equivalent net interest margin. In addition, I am encouraged by the significant improvement in adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain nonrecurring items, over the past three months, as our 2024 second quarter adjusted net income increased by 56.8% to $4.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share.”

“We believe we are well positioned for continued improvements in profitability as a result of the completion of our integration efforts, our excellent asset quality, and the initiatives we are pursuing to strengthen our balance sheet. I look forward to updating shareholders on the progress we are making, as we focus on providing leading financial services and expanding our product offerings to more customers throughout our Ohio and Kentucky communities,” concluded Mr. Meilstrup.

Income Statement

Net income for the 2024 second quarter was $0.9 million, compared to net income of $4.7 million for the same period last year. Earnings per basic and diluted share for the 2024 second quarter were $0.07, compared to $0.42 for the same period last year. Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was $2.8 million, compared to $8.9 million for the same period last year. Earnings per basic and diluted share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 were $0.21, compared to $0.79 for the same period last year.

Adjusted net income for the 2024 second quarter was $4.1 million, or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, compared to $5.0 million, or $0.45 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. Adjusted net income for the first half ended June 30, 2024 was $6.7 million, or $0.49 per basic and diluted share, compared to $9.2 million, or $0.82 per basic and diluted share, in the prior year period.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $15.2 million, compared to $14.2 million for the comparable period in 2023. Net interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was $29.1 million, as compared to $28.1 million in the same period last year. An increase in interest income from loans, due to a higher volume of average loans outstanding and the average rates earned on these loans, was partially offset by higher average balances in interest-bearing demand and money market deposits, IRA and time certificates, and long-term debt and an increase in rates paid for these liabilities. For the 2024 second quarter, LCNB’s tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.86%, compared to 3.28% for the same period last year. Net interest margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was 2.80%, as compared to 3.28% in the same period last year.

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $4.1 million, compared to $3.6 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, non-interest income increased $782,000, or by 10.8%, to $8.0 million, compared to $7.2 million for the same period last year. The increase in non-interest income for both the three- and six-month periods was primarily due to higher fiduciary income and higher gains on sales of loans. Partially offsetting non-interest income during the quarter was a $843,000 pretax loss on the sale of approximately $48.9 million of below market rate loans acquired from Cincinnati Federal. The Company estimates an earn-back period of three to four months on the sale associated with reduced interest expense.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $17.8 million, compared to $12.1 million for the same period last year. The $5.7 million increase was primarily due to higher personnel and operating expenses, as well as one-time merger related expenses, associated with the Cincinnati Federal and Eagle acquisitions. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, non-interest expense was $8.7 million higher than the comparable period in 2023, partially due to an increase of $3.2 million in salaries and employee benefit costs, a $459,000 increase in FDIC insurance premiums, and a $2.7 million increase in merger-related expenses. In addition, non-interest expense for the 2023 second quarter benefited from a $425,000 gain recognized on the sale of an office building that had been closed as a result of LCNB's office consolidation strategy. The remaining net increase can be attributed to smaller increases in various other accounts.

Capital Allocation

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, LCNB did not repurchase any of its outstanding shares. At June 30, 2024, LCNB had 315,047 shares remaining under its share repurchase program.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, LCNB paid $0.22 per share in dividends, a 4.8% increase from $0.21 per share in the second quarter of last year. Year-to-date, LCNB paid $0.44 per share in dividends, compared to $0.42 per share for the first half of last year.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at June 30, 2024 increased 21.6%, to $2.37 billion, from $1.95 billion at June 30, 2023. Net loans at June 30, 2024 increased 20.9%, to $1.73 billion, compared to $1.43 billion at June 30, 2023. The year-over-year improvement resulted primarily from the contribution of continued organic loan growth and the completion of the Cincinnati Federal and Eagle acquisitions. Not including the Cincinnati Federal and Eagle acquisitions, total net loans increased 2.1% organically, or by $30.4 million, from the same period a year ago.

Loans held for sale totaled $44.0 million, compared to $75.6 million at March 31, 2024, and are primarily composed of loans scheduled to be sold to an investor during the remainder of 2024. LCNB anticipates that proceeds from the sale will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include supporting loan growth, paying down long-term debt, and adding to liquidity balances.

Total deposits at June 30, 2024 increased 21.7% to $1.94 billion, compared to $1.60 billion at June 30, 2023. Not including the Cincinnati Federal and Eagle acquisitions, total deposits increased 6.8% organically, or by $108.7 million, from June 30, 2023.

As of the transaction date, the fair value of loans acquired from Eagle totaled $127.0 million and the fair value of deposits acquired totaled $132.4 million. Core deposit intangibles totaled $3.8 million and the increase to goodwill was $14.0 million.

Assets Under Management

Total assets managed at June 30, 2024 were a record $4.21 billion, compared to $3.23 billion at June 30, 2023. The year-over-year increase in total assets managed was primarily due to the Cincinnati Federal and Eagle acquisitions and organic growth in LCNB total assets, trust and investments, mortgage loans serviced, and brokerage accounts. Organically, trust and investments and brokerage accounts increased due to a higher number of new LCNB Wealth Management customer accounts and an increase in the fair value of managed assets. Mortgage loans serviced increased primarily due to the Cincinnati Federal acquisition.

Asset Quality

For the 2024 second quarter, LCNB recorded a provision for credit losses of $528,000, compared to a provision for credit losses of $30,000 for the 2023 second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, LCNB recorded a total provision for credit losses of $653,000, compared to a total recovery of credit losses of $27,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net charge-offs for the 2024 second quarter were $18,000, or 0.00% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $33,000, or 0.01% of average loans, annualized, for the same period last year. For the 2024 six-month period, net charge-offs were $63,000, or 0.01% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $49,000, or 0.01% of average loans, for the 2023 six-month period.

Total nonperforming loans, which include non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were $3.0 million, or 0.17% of total loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $707,000, or 0.05% of total loans, at June 30, 2023. The year-over-year increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to one commercial real estate relationship, representing a balance of $2.6 million. LCNB does not foresee a loss on this loan as it is deemed to have adequate provision based on management’s current review of the property value. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio was 0.13% at June 30, 2024, compared to 0.04% at June 30, 2023.
