LCNB CORP. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025

 

Q1 2025 GAAP net earnings per share improved 120% year-over-year to $0.33 per diluted share, reflecting the continued contribution from the Companys recent acquisitions, balance sheet optimization strategies and strong operating performance

 

Net interest margin expands to 3.25%, the highest quarterly level in seven quarters

 

LCNB Wealth Management assets increased 7.4% year-over-year to a record $1.40 billion at March 31, 2025,
resulting in fiduciary income of $2.2 million, a 9.7% increase

 

Asset quality remains at historically strong levels with non-performing assets to total assets of 0.21% at March 31, 2025

 

LEBANON, Ohio--LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") (NASDAQ: LCNB) today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

Commenting on the financial results, LCNB President and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Meilstrup said, “Our first-quarter performance reflects the continued success of our strategic initiatives focused on integrating recent acquisitions, strengthening our balance sheet, and delivering valuable financial products and services to our communities. I am also pleased to report that the April 2024 Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. ("Eagle") acquisition has already experienced a positive tangible book value earn back, which is a year earlier than expected. The November 2023 Cincinnati Federal acquisition remains on schedule for a positive tangible book value earn back by early 2026. We continue to pursue growth strategies across our expanded Southwestern Ohio footprint, including leveraging our LCNB Wealth Management capabilities.” 

 

Mr. Meilstrup continued: “The actions we took last year to improve our balance sheet have reduced more expensive borrowings and further fortified our balance sheet.  As a result, we ended the quarter with our strongest loan-to-deposit ratio in four quarters, our highest net interest margin in seven quarters, and our largest equity-to-asset ratio in twelve quarters.  These achievements, combined with solid operating performance, contributed to a 120% year-over-year increase in earnings per diluted share and continued growth in both book value and tangible book value per share.”

 

“While the economic and geopolitical environment has become more uncertain, we remain focused on further strengthening our balance sheet, optimizing profitability, and continuing to provide our communities with exceptional financial products and services.  I am confident in the long-term direction we are headed.  We continue to believe LCNB is well positioned for profitable growth in 2025, as we benefit further from our expanded banking platform, strong asset quality, and compelling financial model,” concluded Mr. Meilstrup. 

 

Income Statement

 

Net income for the 2025 first quarter was $4.6 million, compared to $1.9 million for the same period last year. Earnings per basic and diluted share for the 2025 first quarter were $0.33, compared to $0.15 for the same period last year.

 

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $16.3 million, compared to $13.9 million for the same period in 2024. The growth in net interest income was primarily due to the reduction in average interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and higher average rates earned on loans.  For the 2025 first quarter, LCNB’s tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.25%, compared to 2.72% for the same period last year.

 

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $5.2 million, compared to $3.9 million for the same period last year. The $1.3 million, or 32.9% year-over-year increase in non-interest income was due to net gains from sales of loans, as well as higher fiduciary income, service charges, and other income.

 

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $15.8 million, compared to $15.5 million for the same period last year.  The $337,000 increase was primarily due to higher operating expenses associated with the Eagle acquisition during April 2024 and increased marketing expenses, partially offset by the lack of merger-related expenses compared to the same period last year.  The Company had $775,000 of one-time merger-related expenses that occurred in the 2024 first quarter.

 

Capital Allocation

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, LCNB paid $0.22 per share in dividends.

 

 

 

Balance Sheet 

 

Total assets at March 31, 2025 increased 0.9%, to $2.30 billion, from $2.28 billion at March 31, 2024.  Net loans at March 31, 2025 were $1.71 billion, an increase of 3.6%, or $59.7 million, from March 31, 2024. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company originated $84.9 million in loans and sold $21.5 million into the secondary market, which generated $841,000 of gains and benefited first quarter non-interest income.

 

Loans held for sale totaled $6.1 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2024 and $75.6 million at March 31, 2024, and are primarily composed of loans scheduled to be sold to an investor. Proceeds from loan sales that occurred during 2024 were used for general corporate purposes that included supporting loan originations, paying down higher cost funding sources, and adding to liquidity balances.

 

Total deposits at March 31, 2025 increased 3.4% to $1.92 billion compared to $1.86 billion at March 31, 2024.  Not including the Eagle acquisition, total deposit relationships, including off-balance-sheet deposits, increased 1.29% organically, or by $24.5 million, from March 31, 2024. 

 

At March 31, 2025, shareholders' equity was $258.7 million, compared to $233.7 million at March 31, 2024. On a per-share basis, shareholders' equity at March 31, 2025 was $18.26, compared to $17.67 at March 31, 2024.

 

At March 31, 2025, tangible shareholders' equity was $160.6 million, compared to $149.0 million at March 31, 2024. The 7.8% year-over-year increase in tangible shareholders' equity was primarily from higher retained earnings and an improvement in the unrealized losses on the available-for-sale investment portfolio. On a per-share basis, tangible shareholders' equity was $11.34 at March 31, 2025, compared to $11.26 at March 31, 2024.

 

Assets Under Management

 

Total assets managed at March 31, 2025 were $4.16 billion, compared to $3.98 billion at March 31, 2024. The year-over-year increase in total assets managed was due to the Eagle acquisition and organic growth in LCNB total assets, trust and investments, cash management, and brokerage accounts, partially offset by lower mortgage loans serviced. 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. 

 

Asset Quality

 

For the 2025 first quarter, LCNB recorded a provision for credit losses of $197,000, compared to a provision for credit losses of $125,000 for the 2024 first quarter.

 

Net charge-offs for the 2025 first quarter were $39,000, or 0.01% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $45,000, or 0.01% of average loans, annualized, for the same period last year.

 

Total nonperforming loans, which include non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were $4.9 million, or 0.28% of total loans, at March 31, 2025, compared to $3.2 million, or 0.20% of total loans, at March 31, 2024. The year-over-year increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to one commercial and industrial relationship, representing a balance of $1.4 million, and three residential real estate loans, representing a balance of $557,000. LCNB does not foresee any additional losses on these loans, as they are currently deemed to have adequate provision. The nonperforming assets-to-total-assets ratio was 0.21% at March 31, 2025, compared to 0.14% at March 31, 2024.
