[{"type":"text","content":"CLEARFIELD, Penn., Oct. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CNB Financial Corporation (\"CNB\" or the \"Corporation\") (NASDAQ: CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced its earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and disclosed quarterly growth in total deposits, loans, and assets. Executive Summary Net income available to common shareholders (\"earnings\") was $12.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to earnings of $12.8 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The Corporation's earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $15.5 million, or $0.90 per diluted share. The decrease in diluted earnings per share comparing the quarter ended September 30, 2023 to the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to a seven basis point decrease in net interest margin coupled with an increase in salaries and benefits.

Earnings were $40.8 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to earnings of $44.1 million, or $2.59 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
