Exhibit 99.1

Press Release
April 18, 2016

LCNB CORP. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016

LCNB Corp. (LCNB) today announced net income of $2,964,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.30) for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  This compares to net income of $2,834,000 (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.30) for the same three-month period in 2015.  Results for 2016 were significantly affected by the acquisition of BNB Bancorp, Inc. ("BNB") on April 30, 2015.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $444,000 from the comparable period in 2015, due primarily to a $72.2 million increase in average loans and a $76.4 million increase in average investment securities and stock. The BNB merger added $34.7 million to LCNB's loan portfolio as of the merger date. The remainder of the increase in average loans was due to new loan origination. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the tax equivalent net interest margin.

Commenting on the financial results, LCNB CEO Steve Foster said, "We are pleased to announce solid financial results for the first quarter of 2016. As the economy continues to improve, LCNB has experienced increased loan demand. In addition to the $34.7 million in loans that BNB added to our portfolio in April 2015, organic growth since March 2015 totaled $37.5 million. We believe that our strong balance sheet and recent actions, including the construction of our new operations center in Lebanon, Ohio, as well as technology and delivery channel investments, favorably position us for future growth. All of our acquisitions are fully integrated and we look forward to making our full line of financial products and services available to our current and future customers."

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $21,000 greater than the comparable period in 2015. Net loan charge-offs for the first quarter 2016 and 2015 totaled $69,000 and $353,000, respectively.  Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest increased $1,145,000, from $2,282,000 or 0.30% of total loans at December 31, 2015 to $3,427,000 or 0.44% of total loans at March 31, 2016, primarily due to two loans to the same borrower totaling $1,307,000 that were newly classified as non-accrual during the first quarter 2016.  Other real estate owned (which includes property acquired through foreclosure) was $846,000 at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and consisted of one commercial property.

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $336,000 greater than the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to a $260,000 increase in gains from sales of investment securities.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $643,000 greater than the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to a $273,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $251,000 penalty for early payoff of a $5 million Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advance (included in other non-interest expense). Salaries and employee benefits increased primarily due to salary and wage increases, employees retained from the BNB acquisition, and an increase in the number of employees outside of the acquisitions. The FHLB advance had an interest rate of 5.25% and was paid off to reduce interest expense on long-term debt.
