CANFIELD, Ohio (July 26, 2023) – Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Farmers” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FMNB) reported today net income of $15.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $16.0 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net income for the second quarter of 2023 included pretax items of $442,000 for acquisition related costs and combined net gains of $6,000 on the sale of securities and the sale of other assets. Excluding these items (non-GAAP), net income for the second quarter of 2023 would have been $15.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share.
Kevin J. Helmick, President and CEO, stated “As we navigate an extremely fluid banking landscape, we will continue to focus on prudent expense management, growing revenue, and maintaining a strong balance sheet, while supporting our communities and investing in our growth strategies. We believe this approach will drive long-term shareholder value as we emerge from this challenging period a stronger and more profitable company,” concluded Mr. Helmick.
Balance Sheet
The Company’s total assets were $5.07 billion at June 30, 2023 compared to $5.11 billion at March 31, 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 $1.05 billion in assets in the first quarter of 2023. Gross loans (excluding loans held for sale) have increased by $750.5 million since December 31, 2022 and $2.9 million since March 31, 2023. Emclaire was responsible for $740.7 million of the increase in loans since December 31, 2022.
Securities available for sale were $1.32 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $1.36 billion at March 31, 2023, and $1.27 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase since December is due to the addition of $127.0 million in available for sale securities from Emclaire and a reduction in the gross amount of unrealized losses which totaled $266.5 million at December 31, 2022 compared to a gross unrealized loss of $245.0 million at June 30, 2023. Offsetting these increases, the Company also had sales and runoff from the portfolio in the first six months of 2023. While bond market volatility is expected to continue throughout 2023, the Company will continue to look to opportunistically shrink the size of the securities portfolio to increase liquidity and optimize profitability.
Total customer deposits (excluding brokered time deposits) were $4.25 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $4.31 billion at March 31, 2023 and $3.42 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase from December was driven by $875.8 million in deposits assumed in the acquisition of Emclaire. Competition for deposits remains high and the Company expects this will continue to place pressure on funding costs and deposit volumes.
Total stockholders’ equity was $367.0 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $374.6 million at March 31, 2023, and $292.3 million at December 31, 2022. The increase since December is primarily due to the acquisition of Emclaire and an increase in retained earnings along with a decrease in the loss from accumulated other comprehensive income offset by increased treasury stock activity. The Company repurchased 850,799 shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2023 but did not repurchase any shares during the second quarter. The accumulated other comprehensive loss has declined $17.0 million between December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023 as market rates declined during the first half of 2023 and pricing on available for sale securities improved.
