LCNB Corp. Reports Financial Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") (NASDAQ: LCNB) today announced net income of $5,057,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.39) and $10,083,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.78) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. This compares to net income of $4,728,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.36) and $9,355,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.71) for the same three and six month periods in 2019.

Commenting on the financial results, LCNB President and Chief Executive Officer Eric Meilstrup said, "We are pleased to report strong financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2020, despite the challenging conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Gross loans increased $92.0 million or 7.4% since December 31, 2019, including $45.5 million in Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans. Total assets increased $96.0 million or 5.9% during the same period. LCNB's return on average assets was 1.19% and 1.21% for the respective three and six month periods in 2020 and return on average equity for the same periods was 8.63% and 8.69%."

Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was, respectively, $408,000 and $1,195,000 greater than the comparable periods in 2019, due to growth in the average balance of LCNB's loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the average rate earned on that portfolio. Also contributing to the increase in net interest income was a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits. These net favorable items were partially offset by a decrease in average investment securities.

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $38,000 less than the comparable period in 2019 and the six month period was $1,240,000 greater than the comparable period in 2019. Approximately 69% of the increase in the provision for the six month period was due to an adjustment to the allowance for potential impacts from the economic recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest increased $928,000, from $2,986,000 or 0.24% of total loans at June 30, 2019 to $3,914,000 or 0.29% of total loans at June 30, 2020.

Non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was, respectively, $321,000 and $1,388,000 greater than the comparable periods in 2019 primarily due to increases in fiduciary income, gains from sales of loans, and increases in income from bank owned life insurance, partially offset by a decrease in service charges and fees on deposit accounts. The increase for the six month period included gains from the sale of equity securities, which is recorded in other operating income in the consolidated condensed statements of income, and gains from the sale of debt securities. Income from bank owned life insurance increased partially due to new policies purchased in the third quarter 2019 and partially due to a mortality benefit received during the first quarter 2020.

Non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was, respectively, $283,000 and $655,000 greater than the comparable periods in 2019, primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, partially offset by decreases in marketing expense and FDIC insurance premiums. Salaries and employee benefits increased primarily due to salary and wage increases and newly hired employees, including additional business development positions. An increase in health insurance costs also contributed to the increase in salaries and employee benefits. FDIC insurance premiums decreased due to a small bank assessment credit received during the first and second quarters 2020. LCNB has used the credit in full and anticipates subsequent quarterly premium payments will return to normal levels.
