Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Farmers” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FMNB) reported today net income of $15.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $16.0 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net income for the second quarter of 2023 included pretax items of $442,000 for acquisition related costs and combined net gains of $6,000 on the sale of securities and the sale of other assets. Excluding these items (non-GAAP), net income for the second quarter of 2023 would have been $15.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share.

Kevin J. Helmick, President and CEO, stated “As we navigate an extremely fluid banking landscape, we will continue to focus on prudent expense management, growing revenue, and maintaining a strong balance sheet, while supporting our communities and investing in our growth strategies. We believe this approach will drive long-term shareholder value as we emerge from this challenging period a stronger and more profitable company,” concluded Mr. Helmick.

Balance Sheet

The Company’s total assets were $5.07 billion at June 30, 2023 compared to $5.11 billion at March 31, 2023 and $4.08 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase from December was primarily due to the acquisition of Emclaire Financial Corp. (“Emclaire”) which added $1.05 billion in assets in the first quarter of 2023. Gross loans (excluding loans held for sale) have increased by $750.5 million since December 31, 2022 and $2.9 million since March 31, 2023. Emclaire was responsible for $740.7 million of the increase in loans since December 31, 2022.

Securities available for sale were $1.32 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $1.36 billion at March 31, 2023, and $1.27 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase since December is due to the addition of $127.0 million in available for sale securities from Emclaire and a reduction in the gross amount of unrealized losses which totaled $266.5 million at December 31, 2022 compared to a gross unrealized loss of $245.0 million at June 30, 2023. Offsetting these increases, the Company also had sales and runoff from the portfolio in the first six months of 2023. While bond market volatility is expected to continue throughout 2023, the Company will continue to look to opportunistically shrink the size of the securities portfolio to increase liquidity and optimize profitability.

Total customer deposits (excluding brokered time deposits) were $4.25 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $4.31 billion at March 31, 2023 and $3.42 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase from December was driven by $875.8 million in deposits assumed in the acquisition of Emclaire. Competition for deposits remains high and the Company expects this will continue to place pressure on funding costs and deposit volumes.

Total stockholders’ equity was $367.0 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $374.6 million at March 31, 2023, and $292.3 million at December 31, 2022. The increase since December is primarily due to the acquisition of Emclaire and an increase in retained earnings along with a decrease in the loss from accumulated other comprehensive income offset by increased treasury stock activity. The Company repurchased 850,799 shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2023 but did not repurchase any shares during the second quarter. The accumulated other comprehensive loss has declined $17.0 million between December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023 as market rates declined during the first half of 2023 and pricing on available for sale securities improved.

Liquidity

The Company continues to monitor its deposit base and balance sheet composition as well as its access to other sources of liquidity. At June 30, 2023, the Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 73.9% and the Company’s average deposit balance per account was $27,539. In addition, the Company’s ratio of uninsured deposits (excluding collateralized deposits) is approximately 15.0% which remains significantly lower than the banking institutions that failed in the first quarter of 2023.

The Company has access to an additional $707.8 million of FHLB borrowing capacity at June 30, 2023 along with $290.0 million of available for sale securities that are not pledged. With a deep and diverse deposit base and access to a large amount of additional funding capacity, the Company is well positioned to navigate the current banking landscape.

Credit Quality

The provision for credit losses and unfunded commitments was $25,000 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $616,000 for the second quarter of 2022. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans was 0.10% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 0.01% for the same period in 2022. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.11% at June 30, 2023 compared to 1.14% at March 31, 2023, and 1.12% at December 31, 2022.

Non-performing loans (NPLs) were $18.0 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $18.0 million at March 31, 2023, and $14.8 million at December 31, 2022. The increase since December was primarily due to the addition of Emclaire. The NPL to loans ratio was 0.57% at June 30, 2023 compared to 0.57% at March 31, 2023 and 0.62% at December 31, 2022. Non-performing assets to assets was 0.36% at June 30, 2023, compared to 0.35% at March 31, 2023, and 0.36% at December 31, 2022. Early stage delinquencies, defined as 30-89 days delinquent, were $12.3 million, or 0.39% of total loans, at June 30, 2023, compared to $9.6 million, or 0.40% of total loans, at December 31, 2022.

Net Interest Income

The Company recorded net interest income of $34.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $31.7 million for the second quarter of 2022. The Company had more earning assets in 2023 due to the acquisition of Emclaire but this was partially offset by a decline of 33 basis point in the net interest margin. The net interest margin was 2.92% for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 3.07% in the first quarter of 2023 and 3.25% for the second quarter of 2022. The decline in net interest margin between the second quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2022 was due to increases in funding costs outstripping the increase in yields on earning assets. This increase in funding costs has been due to the rapid increase in deposit rates due to intense competition for deposits, the continued Federal Reserve rate hiking cycle, and runoff of deposit balances which are being replaced by more costly wholesale funding. Excluding the impact of acquisition marks and related accretion and PPP interest and fees, the net interest margin (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2023 was 2.68% compared to 2.86% for the first quarter of 2023 and 3.16% for the second quarter of 2022.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Service charges on deposit accounts have increased by $362,000 in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Emclaire. Bank owned life insurance income, other mortgage banking fee income and debit card income have also increased in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 due to the Emclaire acquisition. Insurance agency commissions are up $246,000 in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 as growth in the insurance business and increased annuity sales have bolstered income. Investment commissions are down slightly for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as customers have been more interested in the annuities mentioned above as opposed to traditional investment products. Net gains on the sale of loans have increased but are still sluggish due to the high level of interest rates and lack of loan volume. Other noninterest income has declined by $1.3 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022. This decrease is primarily due to a decline in the income associated with the Company’s investments in SBA/SBIC funds. The performance of these funds in 2022 was much better than had been experienced historically and 2023 has returned to more normal levels of profitability.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in expense is primarily due to the acquisition of Emclaire. Salaries and employee benefits increased $2.6 million to $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The acquisition of Emclaire along with normal raise activity were the primary reasons for the increase. Occupancy and equipment expense increased primarily due to the acquisition. FDIC and state and local taxes increased due to the acquisition and the increase in the rate paid for FDIC insurance in 2023. Intangible amortization expense increased due to the acquisition and due to some acceleration of the core deposit intangible recorded in the Cortland Bancorp acquisition in 2021. The Company recorded an additional $359,000 of intangible amortization in the second quarter of 2023 related to the Cortland acquisition. Merger related costs were $442,000 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $674,000 in the second quarter of 2022.

Factors that could cause Farmers’ actual results to differ materially from those described in certain forward-looking statements include significant changes in near-term local, regional, and U.S. economic conditions including those resulting from continued high rates of inflation, tightening monetary policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and possibility of a recession; Farmers’ failure to integrate Emclaire with Farmers in accordance with expectations; deviations from performance expectations related to Emclaire; continuing impacts from the length and extent of the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; and the other factors contained in Farmers’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and available on Farmers’ website (www.farmersbankgroup.com) and on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
