LCNB Corp. Reports Financial Results For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
First Quarter Diluted Earnings Per Share Increased 5.1% Year-over-Year to $0.41
47.8% Year-over-Year Increase in Trust and Investment Assets Drives Robust Fiduciary Income
Credit Quality Remains Strong with Limited Net Charge-Offs Recorded in First Quarter
Total Assets Managed1 Increased 21.5% Year-over-Year to a Record $3.04 Billion



LEBANON, Ohio--LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") (NASDAQ: LCNB) today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Net income for the 2021 first quarter increased 4.3% to $5,240,000 compared to $5,026,000 for the same period last year. Earnings per basic and diluted share for the 2021 first quarter were $0.41, compared to $0.39 for the same period last year. Earnings, before provisions for loan losses and income taxes, were $6,345,000 for the 2021 first quarter compared to $6,945,000 for the same period last year.

Commenting on the financial results, LCNB President and Chief Executive Officer Eric Meilstrup said, “Total assets managed increased to a record of over $3.0 billion, an important milestone for LCNB, as we benefited from strong year-over-year growth across all aspects of our business. Growth in trust and investment assets was particularly strong, which drove a 38.6% increase in fiduciary income. Our trust and investment businesses are important growth drivers, and we are benefiting from over 50 years of providing local, sophisticated, and diverse wealth solutions to our customers.”

Mr. Meilstrup continued, “Our asset quality is encouraging and we had limited net charge-offs in the quarter. At March 31, 2021, we only had six loans in deferral status for $19.6 million, which is a 94.9% decline from the amount of deferrals at June 30, 2020. We also continue to support small businesses within our local communities and during the first quarter we originated 345 new PPP loans for $23.6 million while processing $11.0 million of loan forgiveness under the program.”



1 Total Assets Managed includes LCNB Corp. Consolidated Assets, Wealth Management & Brokerage Assets, Loans Serviced
for Others, and Cash Management Services.


“We believe we are emerging from the COVID-19 crisis with a dynamic platform to drive sustainable growth and I am pleased with the solid start to 2021. We remain focused on continuing to offer our communities leading and diversified financial services, maintaining strong asset quality, managing both our cost of funds and non-interest expenses, and increasing non-interest income,” concluded Mr. Meilstrup.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $14,372,000, compared to $14,178,000 for the comparable period in 2020. The 1.4% increase for the three-month period was primarily due to a decline in the average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $3,465,000, compared to $3,839,000 for the same period last year. The decline in non-interest income was primarily due to lower gains on sales of debt securities, bank owned life insurance income, gains from sales of loans, and other operating income, partially offset by fiduciary income and service charges and fees on deposit accounts.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $420,000 greater than the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to increases in equipment, occupancy, marketing, FDIC insurance, contracted services and other non-interest expenses, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits.

Asset Quality
For the 2021 first quarter, LCNB recorded a $52,000 credit for loan losses, compared to a provision of $1,173,000 for the 2020 first quarter. The $1,225,000 year-over-year decrease in the provision for loan losses was partially due to strong asset quality and last year’s proactive build in the Company’s allowance for loan losses associated with the potential economic impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net recoveries for the 2021 first quarter were $3,000 compared to net charge-offs of $210,000, or an annualized ratio of 0.07% of average loans, for the same period last year.

Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest increased $497,000, from $2,868,000 or 0.23% of total loans at March 31, 2020, to $3,365,000 or 0.25% of total loans at March 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.19% at March 31, 2021, compared to 0.18% at March 31, 2020.
