Return on average assets was 1.04% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025
LEBANON, Ohio, July 22, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") (NASDAQ: LCNB) today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Commenting on the financial results, LCNB President and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Meilstrup said, "LCNB delivered a strong second quarter, reflecting continued momentum across our core operations and the success of our multi-year growth strategies. Second-quarter net interest margin expanded year-over-year by 61 basis points as a result of prior actions to strengthen our balance sheet, recent loan originations, and a stable interest rate environment. Noninterest income was also solid, asset quality remains strong, and we continue to manage operating expenses. These factors contributed to strong net income, driving our return on assets above 1% for the quarter."
"We continue to see the benefits from our recent acquisitions, including encouraging traction in cross selling our wealth and trust services. The investment services division has increased assets under management by over 300% at newly acquired branches over the past 12 months, which highlights the need in our new markets for our local, relationship-based financial services," continued Mr. Meilstrup.
"While we expect the economic environment to remain fluid, we believe we are well positioned to continue to drive long-term growth, supported by our strong asset quality, strengthening levels of profitability, and the value we bring to our Ohio communities. Most importantly, our continued success reflects the ongoing dedication and commitment of our team," concluded Mr. Meilstrup.
Income Statement
Net income for the 2025 second quarter was $5.9 million, compared to $0.9 million for the same period last year. Earnings per basic and diluted share for the 2025 second quarter were $0.41, compared to $0.07 for the same period last year. Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 was $10.5 million, compared to $2.8 million for the same period last year. Earnings per basic and diluted share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 were $0.74, compared to $0.21 for the same period last year.
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $17.5 million, compared to $15.2 million for the same period in 2024. Net interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 was $33.8 million, as compared to $29.1 million in the same period last year. 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 second quarter, LCNB’s tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.47%, compared to 2.86% for the same period last year. The net interest margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 was 3.36%, as compared to 2.80% in the same period last year.
Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 28.6% to $5.2 million, compared to $4.1 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, non-interest income increased 30.7% to $10.5 million, compared to $8.0 million for the same period last year. The increase in non-interest income for both the three- and six-month periods was primarily 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 June 30, 2025 was $15.6 million, compared to $17.8 million for the same period last year. The $2.2 million decrease was primarily due to higher operating and merger-related expenses in the 2024 second quarter associated with the Eagle acquisition during April 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, non-interest expense was $1.9 million lower than the comparable period in 2024, partially due to a $3.0 million reduction in merger-related expenses and lower FDIC insurance premiums, partially offset by higher salaries and employee benefits, marketing, contracted services, and other non-interest expenses.
Capital Allocation
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, LCNB paid $0.22 per share in dividends. Year-to-date, LCNB has paid $0.44 per share in dividends.
Balance Sheet
Total assets at June 30, 2025 decreased 2.7%, to $2.31 billion, from $2.37 billion at June 30, 2024 and were stable compared to $2.31 billion at December 31, 2024. Net loans at June 30, 2025 were $1.71 billion, a decrease of 1.4%, or $24.6 million, from June 30, 2024 and down 0.5%, or $8.9 million, from December 31, 2024. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company originated $88.8 million in loans and sold $30.0 million into the secondary market, which generated $615,000 of gains and benefited second quarter non-interest income.
Loans held for sale totaled $6.0 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2024 and $44.0 million at June 30, 2024, and are primarily composed of loans scheduled to be sold to an investor.
Total deposits at June 30, 2025 decreased 1.2% to $1.92 billion compared to $1.94 billion at June 30, 2024, and were up 2.2% from $1.88 billion at December 31, 2024.
At June 30, 2025, shareholders' equity was $263.5 million, compared to $245.2 million at June 30, 2024. On a per-share basis, shareholders' equity at June 30, 2025 was $18.59, compared to $17.33 at June 30, 2024.
At June 30, 2025, tangible shareholders' equity was $165.8 million, compared to $142.7 million at June 30, 2024. The 16.2% year-over-year increase in tangible shareholders' equity was primarily due to 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 $11.69 at June 30, 2025, compared to $10.08 at June 30, 2024.
Assets Under Management
Total assets managed at June 30, 2025 were $4.18 billion, compared to $4.21 billion at June 30, 2024, and $4.23 billion at December 31, 2024. The year-over-year decrease in total assets managed was due to lower LCNB total assets, mortgage loans serviced, and cash management, partially offset by higher trust and investments and brokerage accounts. 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 second quarter, LCNB recorded a provision for credit losses of $18,000, compared to a provision for credit losses of $528,000 for the 2024 second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, LCNB recorded a total provision for credit losses of $215,000, compared to a total provision for credit losses of $653,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net charge-offs for the 2025 second quarter were $80,000, or 0.02% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $18,000, or 0.00% of average loans, annualized, for the same period last year. For the 2025 six-month period, net charge-offs were $119,000, or 0.01% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $63,000, or 0.01% of average loans, for the 2024 six-month period.
Total nonperforming loans, which include non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were $4.8 million, or 0.28% of total loans, at June 30, 2025, compared to $3.0 million, or 0.17% of total loans, at June 30, 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 total balance of $537,000. 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 June 30, 2025, compared to 0.13% at June 30, 2024.
