• Sequential net interest margin stabilization and expansion

• Loan growth of $56.1 million, or 7.0% annualized, for the second quarter of 2024

CANFIELD, Ohio (July 24, 2024) – Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Farmers” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FMNB) today announced net income of $11.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $15.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Net income for the second quarter of 2024 included pretax items of $515,000 for the loss on the sale of investment securities and write downs on certain other assets held for sale. Excluding these items (non-GAAP), net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $12.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share.

Kevin J. Helmick, President and CEO, stated “Our second quarter financial results are encouraging as we experienced strong loan growth along with sequential improvement in net interest income. We are pleased that asset quality also continues to be a source of strength. Over the near term, we remain focused on supporting the financial needs of our communities, while ensuring the Company is well positioned to create long-term value for our shareholders.”

Balance Sheet

Total assets were $5.16 billion at June 30, 2024, up from $5.08 billion at March 31, 2024, and $5.08 billion at December 31, 2023. Loans increased to $3.24 billion at June 30, 2024 compared to $3.18 billion at March 31, 2024 and $3.20 billion at December 31, 2023. While loan growth accelerated sharply in the second quarter of 2024, the Company still anticipates total loan growth of approximately 1.5% - 2% in 2024, reflecting the challenging economic and interest rate environment, as well as the Company’s focus on maintaining excellent asset quality.

The Company had securities available for sale of $1.25 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $1.27 billion at March 31, 2024, and $1.30 billion at December 31, 2023. Gross unrealized losses on the portfolio totaled $242.3 million at June 30, 2024, an increase from $234.2 million at March 31, 2024, and $217.1 million at December 31, 2023. The Company expects bond market volatility to continue in 2024 and anticipates that it will continue to reduce the size of the securities portfolio via runoff to optimize profitability and enhance liquidity.

Total deposits increased to $4.21 billion at June 30, 2024, up slightly from $4.20 billion at March 31, 2024, and $4.18 billion at December 31, 2023. Noninterest bearing deposits declined to $968.7 million at June 30, 2024, from $977.5 million at March 31, 2024, and $1.03 billion at December 31, 2023 even as growth in interest bearing deposits offset this decline. Customers continue to seek higher rates on their deposit balances but the pace of activity continues to slow.

Total stockholders’ equity was $396.7 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $397.0 million at March 31, 2024, and $404.4 million at December 31, 2023. The decline since December has been driven by an increase in the unrealized losses on investment securities offset by earnings net of dividend payments to shareholders.

Credit Quality

The Company’s non-performing loans increased slightly to $12.9 million at June 30, 20024, compared to $12.0 million at March 31, 2024, but were down from $15.1 million at December 31, 2023. Non-performing loans to total loans were 0.40% at June 30, 2024, 0.38% at March 31, 2024, and 0.47% at December 31, 2023. Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.25% at June 30, 2024, 0.24% at March 31, 2024, and 0.30% at December 31, 2023. The Company’s loans which were 30-89 days delinquent were $18.5 million at June 30, 2024, or 0.57% of total loans, compared to $16.7 million, or 0.52% of total loans, at December 31, 2023.

The provision for credit losses and unfunded commitments totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $25,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increased provision for credit losses was primarily due to loan growth of $56.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to loan shrinkage of $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2023. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.07% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 0.10% for the second quarter of 2023. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.05% at June 30, 2024, compared to 1.04% at March 31, 2024 and 1.08% at December 31, 2023.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2024 was $32.1 million compared to $34.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. Average interest earning assets are down $5.4 million when comparing the second quarter of 2024 to the second quarter of 2023. The net interest margin has declined from 2.92% for the second quarter of 2023 to 2.71% for the second quarter of 2024. This decline in net interest margin was due to increased funding costs outstripping the increase in yields on earning assets. The increase in funding costs has been due to the rapid increase in deposit rates due to intense competition for deposits, the Federal Reserve’s rate hiking cycle, and runoff of deposit balances which are being replaced with more costly wholesale funding. Excluding acquisition marks and PPP interest, non-GAAP, the Company’s net interest margin was 2.51% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2.68% in the second quarter of 2023.

Noninterest Income

The Company recorded noninterest income of $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. This increase is due to increases in several categories of noninterest income offset by declines in other noninterest income and losses on the sale of securities.

Service charges on deposit accounts were $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2023. The Company undertook a review of all service charges in late 2023 and early 2024 and implemented fee increases across deposit product lines in the second quarter. Bank owned life insurance income increased from $584,000 in the second quarter of 2023 to $652,000 in the second quarter of 2024 as crediting rates on the insurance policies continue to increase. Trust fees increased to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 due to continued strong growth in this line of business. Losses on the sale of securities totaled $124,000 in the second quarter of 2024 compared to gains on the sale of securities of $13,000 during the second quarter of 2023. Other noninterest income declined from $463,000 in the second quarter of 2023 to $162,000 in the second quarter of 2024. The Company recorded write downs totaling $391,000 on other assets held for sale during the second quarter of 2024. No write downs occurred in the second quarter of 2023.

Noninterest Expense

The Company’s noninterest expense totaled $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The second quarter of 2023 included $442,000 of merger related charges. There were no merger related expenses during the second quarter of 2024. Salaries and employee benefits were $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher salaries associated with employee raises along with higher health care expenses. FDIC and state and local taxes decreased by $309,000 to $1.2 million for the first three months of 2024 compared to $1.5 million for the first three months of 2023 due to lower FDIC premiums. Intangible amortization declined to $630,000 in the second quarter of 2024 from $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was driven by accelerated amortization that occurred in the second quarter of 2023 that did not reoccur in 2024 and amortization from a prior acquisition running off. Other noninterest expense increased $545,000 in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023. Timing surrounding postage expense and ATM/debit card charges drove much of this increase.

Liquidity

The Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 77.0% at June 30, 2024 while the Company’s average deposit balance per account (excluding collateralized deposits) was $22,375 for the same period. At June 30, 2024, the Company had access to an additional $679.7 million of FHLB borrowing capacity, along with $238.1 million in available for sale securities that are not pledged.
