Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Farmers” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FMNB) today announced net income of $14.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $13.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 included pretax items of $452,000 for acquisition related costs, a gain of $915,000 on the sale of commercial loans, $1.0 million in expense for severance/contract payouts for staff resignations, and combined net losses of $217,000 on the sale of securities and the sale of other assets. Excluding these items (non-GAAP), net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 7.8% to $15.2 million from $14.1 million for the same period last year. Net income per diluted share excluding these items (non-GAAP), was $0.41 for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $0.42 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Kevin J. Helmick, President and CEO, stated “Our solid fourth quarter results demonstrate our success enhancing profitability throughout an extremely challenging operating environment. This is a testament to our team’s focus on supporting our customers, maintaining excellent asset quality, and controlling operating costs. We expect the economic environment will remain fluid in 2024, but we believe Farmers is well positioned to navigate this period as a result of the value our team members provide our Ohio and Pennsylvania communities, as well as our continued focus on maintaining strong asset quality and profitability.”

Balance Sheet

The Company’s total assets were $5.08 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $4.97 billion at September 30, 2023 and $4.08 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase from December was primarily due to the acquisition of Emclaire Financial Corp. (“Emclaire”) which added $977.6 million in assets in the first quarter of 2023. Loans have increased by $793.4 million since December 31, 2022 and $29.6 million, or 3.7% annualized, since September 30, 2023. Emclaire was responsible for $740.7 million of the increase in loans since December 31, 2022. Growth in the fourth quarter of 2023 was concentrated in commercial real estate.

The Company had securities available for sale of $1.30 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $1.21 billion at September 30, 2023, and $1.27 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase since December is due to the acquisition of Emclaire which added $127.0 million in available for sale securities and a decrease in the amount of gross unrealized losses on the portfolio which totaled $266.5 million at December 31, 2022, compared to a gross unrealized loss of $217.1 million at December 31, 2023. The Company also had sales and runoff from the portfolio during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Bond market volatility was extreme in 2023 and this volatility may remain in 2024. The Company expects that it will continue to allow the size of the securities portfolio to shrink via runoff to optimize profitability and provide liquidity for future loan growth.

At December 31, 2023, deposits totaled $4.18 billion compared to $4.26 billion at September 30, 2023 and $4.51 billion at December 31, 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company allowed $254.3 million in brokered time deposits to mature and replaced the funding with less expensive short term borrowings. In addition, public fund seasonality resulted in $95.3 million in shrinkage during the quarter offset by $15.3 million in growth in other deposit categories. The increase from December 31, 2022, was driven by $875.8 million in deposits assumed in the acquisition of Emclaire offset by a decline in brokered time deposits of $138.1 million and runoff in other deposit categories.

Total stockholders’ equity increased to $404.4 million at December 31, 2023, from $316.0 million at September 30, 2023, and $292.3 million at December 31, 2022. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Emclaire and an increase in retained earnings and a decrease in the unrealized loss from accumulated other comprehensive income. The increase in total stockholders’ equity since September 30, 2023, was primarily due to a decline in the accumulated other comprehensive loss which decreased $79.7 million as market rates dropped rapidly during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Credit Quality

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s non-performing loans totaled $15.1 million compared to $18.4 million at September 30, 2023, and $14.8 million at December 31, 2022. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the addition of Emclaire while the decrease since September 30 was due to the sale of non-performing loans. The non-performing loans to total loans ratio was 0.47% at December 31, 2023, 0.58% at September 30, 2023, and 0.62% at December 31, 2022. Non-performing assets to total assets was 0.30% at December 31, 2023, 0.37% at September 30, 2023, and 0.36% at December 31, 2022. The Company also continues to experience low levels of early-stage delinquencies, defined as loans 30-89 days delinquent. At December 31, 2023, these early-stage delinquencies totaled $16.7 million, or 0.52% of total loans compared to $13.3 million, or 0.42% of total loans at September 30, 2023, and $9.6 million, or 0.40% of total loans, at December 31, 2022.

The Company recorded provision for credit losses and unfunded commitments of $286,000 for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $243,000 for the third quarter of 2023 and $416,000 for the fourth quarter of 2022. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.10% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to 0.10% for the same period in 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.07% compared to 0.11% for last year. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.08% at December 31, 2023, compared to 1.10% at September 30, 2023, and 1.12% at December 31, 2022.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2023, totaled $32.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $33.8 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $29.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Earning assets were greater in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 due to the acquisition of Emclaire but this was partially offset by a decline of 21 basis point in the net interest margin. The net interest margin was 2.78% for the quarter ending December 31, 2023, compared to 2.86% in the third quarter of 2023 and 2.99% for the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of acquisition marks and related accretion and PPP interest and fees, the net interest margin (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 2.58% compared to 2.61% for the third quarter of 2023 and 2.97% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decline in net interest margin between the fourth quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2022 was due to increases in funding costs outstripping the increase in yields on earning assets. This 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.

Noninterest Income

The Company recorded $12.2 million in noninterest income during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $8.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2022. Service charges on deposit accounts increased to $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2022 primarily due to the acquisition of Emclaire. Bank owned life insurance income, other mortgage banking fee income and debit card income have also increased in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 due to the Emclaire acquisition. Trust fees increased by $283,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 as growth in this line of business continued. Insurance agency commissions also exhibited outstanding growth as insurance commissions increased by $407,000 for the quarter ending December 31, 2023 compared to same quarter a year ago. Growth for the year in this business has been solid as pricing in the insurance business has been very strong and increased annuity sales have bolstered results. Investment commissions are up slightly for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022, as markets have been resilient in 2023 and the Company begins to expand into Pennsylvania. Net gains on the sale of loans have increased by over $1.0 million between the fourth quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2023. Of this increase, $915,000 was driven by the sale of commercial loans discussed previously. Traditional gains on the sale of mortgage loans remain sluggish due to high interest rates. Other noninterest income increased $910,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter. This increase was primarily driven by higher income associated with the Company’s investments in SBIC funds. The earnings on these funds can be volatile from period to period.

Noninterest Expense

The Company reported noninterest expense of $27.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $21.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in expense is primarily due to the acquisition of Emclaire along with the $1.0 million in severance expense associated with staff resignations. Salaries and employee benefits increased $3.5 million to $14.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $11.4 million during the same period in 2022. The acquisition of Emclaire, normal raise activity and the severance were the primary reasons for the increase. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $1.1 million primarily due to the acquisition. FDIC and state and local taxes increased $474,000 due to the acquisition and the increase in the rate paid for FDIC insurance in 2023. Core processing charges increased due to the acquisition. Merger related costs were $452,000 for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $584,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022. Other noninterest expense increased due to the acquisition.

Liquidity

At December 31, 2023, the Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 76.6% and the Company’s average deposit balance per account (excluding collateralized deposits) was $23,678. The Company has access to an additional $819.5 million of FHLB borrowing capacity at December 31, 2023 along with $214.3 million of available for sale securities that are not pledged. With a deep and diverse deposit base and access to a large amount of additional funding capacity, the Company is well positioned to navigate the current banking landscape.
