Profitability impacted primarily by one-time
acquisition related operating and provision expenses and higher
interest expense
Core profitability remains solid and supported
by record annual non-interest income
Asset quality remains excellent with total
nonperforming loans to total loans of 0.01% at December 31,
2023
LCNB successfully completed the Cincinnati
Bancorp, Inc. acquisition on November 1, 2023
Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. acquisition
expected to close during the 2024 second quarter
LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") (NASDAQ: LCNB) today announced financial
results for the three and twelve months ended December 31,
2023.
Commenting on the financial results, LCNB President and Chief
Executive Officer Eric Meilstrup said, “I am pleased with the
progress we made in 2023 executing our multi-year strategic growth
plan, maintaining excellent asset quality, and returning additional
capital back to our shareholders through our higher annual
dividend, despite a challenging operating environment and
restrictive Federal Reserve monetary policies. In November 2023, we
successfully closed the Cincinnati Bancorp, Inc. (“Cincinnati
Federal”) acquisition and announced the acquisition of Eagle
Financial Bancorp, Inc. (“EFBI” or “Eagle”), the holding company
for EAGLE.bank, which we expect to close during the 2024 second
quarter. Upon completion of the EFBI transaction, LCNB will have 25
branches and $1.4 billion in deposits within the Cincinnati MSA,
adding to LCNB’s position as one of the largest community banks in
Southwest Ohio.
Mr. Meilstrup continued, “As expected, fourth-quarter
profitability was impacted by one-time expenses associated with the
Cincinnati Federal and EFBI acquisitions. While we expect one-time
merger-related expenses will continue throughout the first half of
2024, we believe we are well positioned for earnings growth to
reaccelerate in the fourth quarter of 2024. In addition, I am
pleased with the core growth we experienced in 2023, as total
assets, net loans, and total deposits all grew organically. This
growth is a direct result of the efforts of our team members, our
local presence in compelling Ohio and Kentucky markets, and the
tremendous value we provide our communities. We also continued to
see strong LCNB Wealth Management growth, which helped support
record annual noninterest income in 2023. As we look to 2024, we
believe it to be a year of continued investment and transformation
that we expect will create the necessary platform to drive
significant value for our shareholders in 2025 and beyond.”
Income Statement
For the 2023 fourth quarter, LCNB reported a net loss of
$293,000, compared to net income of $6,408,000 for the same period
last year. The Company reported a net loss per basic and diluted
share for the 2023 fourth quarter of $0.02, compared to net income
of $0.57 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.
Net income for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023, was
$12,628,000, compared to $22,128,000 for the same period last year.
Earnings per basic and diluted share for the twelve-month period
ended December 31, 2023, were $1.10, compared to $1.93 for the same
period last year.
Adjusted net income accounts for the impact of one-time
merger-related expenses, net of tax, associated with the Cincinnati
Federal and EFBI acquisitions. Adjusted net income for the 2023
fourth quarter was $4,241,000, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared
to $6,408,000, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the same period last
year. Adjusted net income for the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2023, was $17,834,000, or $1.56 per diluted share,
compared to $22,128,000, or $1.93 per diluted share, in the prior
year period.
Pre-tax, pre-provision net income, adjusted for one-time
acquisition related expense, was $5,603,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 2023, compared to $7,772,000 for the comparable
period in 2022. For the twelve-month period ended December 31,
2023, pre-tax, pre-provision net income, adjusted for one-time
acquisition related expense, was $21,993,000, compared to
$27,196,000 for the same period a year ago.
Net interest income for the three months ended December 31,
2023, was $14,659,000, compared to $16,208,000 for the comparable
period in 2022. Net interest income for the twelve-month period
ended December 31, 2023, was $56,349,000, as compared to
$61,042,000 in the same period last year. Contributing to the
variances for both the three and twelve-month periods were
increases in the amount of long and short-term borrowings combined
with higher interest expense associated with the rapid
year-over-year increase in the Effective Federal Funds Rate. An
increase in interest income from loans due to increases in the
volume of average loans outstanding and the average rates earned on
these loans partially offset the borrowings and deposit interest
expense-related variances. For the 2023 fourth quarter, LCNB’s tax
equivalent net interest margin was 2.99%, compared to 3.77% for the
same period last year. For the 2023 twelve-month period, LCNB’s tax
equivalent net interest margin was 3.14%, compared to 3.55% for the
same period last year.
Non-interest income for the three months ended December 31,
2023, was $4,606,000, compared to $3,629,000 for the same period
last year. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023,
non-interest income increased $1,123,000, or by 7.9%, to
$15,411,000, compared to $14,288,000 for the same period last year.
The increase in non-interest income for the twelve-month period was
primarily due to higher fiduciary income, a decrease in net losses
recognized on equity securities, and higher gains on sales of
loans, partially offset by decreased service charges and fees on
deposit accounts.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended December 31,
2023, was $5,511,000 higher than the comparable period in 2022,
primarily due to higher personnel and operating expenses primarily
associated the integration of Cincinnati Federal and $3,914,000 of
one-time expenses associated with the Cincinnati Federal and EFBI
acquisitions. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023,
non-interest expense was $6,289,000 higher than the comparable
period in 2022, partially due to $4,656,000 in acquisition-related
expenses, and higher personnel and operating expenses primarily
associated the integration of Cincinnati Federal. In addition,
non-interest expense for the 2022 twelve-month period included
$471,000 in losses from the sales of two office buildings as a
result of the Company’s branch consolidation strategy, which was
offset by an $889,000 gain from the sale of other real estate owned
recognized during the 2022 second quarter.
Capital Allocation
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, LCNB invested
$3.3 million to repurchase 199,913 shares of its outstanding stock
at an average price of $16.47 per share. This equates to
approximately 1.78% of the Company’s outstanding common stock prior
to the repurchase. At December 31, 2023, LCNB had 315,047 shares
remaining under its February 2023 share repurchase program.
For the full year ended December 31, 2023, LCNB paid $0.85 per
share in dividends, a 4.9% increase from $0.81 per share for the
full year ended December 31, 2022. On November 20, 2023, LCNB’s
Board of Directors approved a 4.8% increase in the Company’s
regular quarterly cash dividend payment from $0.21 per share to
$0.22 per share. LCNB’s regular cash dividend payment has increased
32.8% from $0.64 per share in 2017 to $0.85 per share in 2023.
Balance Sheet
Total assets at December 31, 2023 increased 19.4% to a record
$2.29 billion from $1.92 billion at December 31, 2022. Net loans at
December 31, 2023, increased 22.7% to a record $1.71 billion,
compared to $1.40 billion at December 31, 2022. The year-over-year
improvement resulted primarily from the contribution of continued
organic loan growth and the completion of the Cincinnati Federal
acquisition. Not including the Cincinnati Federal acquisition,
total net loans increased 5.8% organically, or by $80.6 million
from the same period a year ago.
Total deposits at December 31, 2023, increased 13.7% to $1.82
billion, compared to $1.60 billion at December 31, 2022. Not
including the Cincinnati Federal acquisition, total deposits
increased 0.6% organically, or by $8.9 million from December 31,
2022.
Assets Under Management
Total assets managed at December 31, 2023 were a record $3.88
billion, compared to $3.10 billion at December 31, 2022. The
year-over-year increase in total assets managed was primarily due
to the Cincinnati Federal acquisition, and organic growth in LCNB
Corp. total assets, trust and investments, and brokerage accounts.
Organically, trust and investments and brokerage accounts increased
due to a higher number of new LCNB Wealth Management customer
accounts opened during 2023 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 2023 fourth quarter, LCNB recorded a provision for
credit losses of $2.2 million, compared to a total net recovery of
credit losses of $19,000 for the 2022 fourth quarter. For the
twelve months ended December 31, 2023, LCNB recorded a provision
for credit losses of $2.1 million, compared to $250,000 for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2022. Included in the provision
for credit losses for the three and twelve months ended December
31, 2023 was a $1.7 million provision expense related to loans
acquired through the Cincinnati Federal acquisition that were not
considered purchased with credit deterioration ("non-PCD
loans").
Net charge-offs for the 2023 fourth quarter were $102,000, or
0.02% of average loans, compared to net recoveries of $21,000, or
0.01% of average loans, for the same period last year. For the 2023
twelve-month period, net charge-offs were $184,000, or 0.01% of
average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $110,000, or 0.01% of
average loans, for the 2022 twelve-month period.
Total nonperforming loans, which include non-accrual loans and
loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest,
decreased $278,000 from $430,000 or 0.03% of total loans at
December 31, 2022, to $152,000 or 0.01% of total loans at December
31, 2023. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio was 0.01%
at December 31, 2023, compared to 0.02% at December 31, 2022.
