LEBANON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") (NASDAQ: LCNB) today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Commenting on the financial results, LCNB Chief Executive Officer, Eric Meilstrup said, “LCNB achieved another solid quarter of higher core profitability and book value growth, highlighted by continued net interest margin expansion, disciplined expense management, and solid year-over-year growth at LCNB Wealth Management. As a result, pre-tax, pre-provision for credit losses income increased 34.1% year-over-year, underscoring the strength and consistency of our core earnings profile.”
Mr. Meilstrup continued, “Provision expense increased during the quarter, primarily driven by higher provisions for two participated loans within the logistics industry. In addition, given increased macroeconomic uncertainty, we have maintained a higher allowance for credit losses, which totaled $13.4 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $12.1 million a year ago, despite a reduction in nonperforming loans. The provision for credit losses during the first quarter reduced after-tax earnings by $0.13 per diluted share. Certain segments of the logistics industry have experienced increased pressure across the broader economic environment, though LCNB’s exposure to that industry remains limited. Overall, our asset‑quality metrics compare favorably to peer, and nonperforming loans declined to 0.20% of total loans at March 31, 2026, from 0.28% a year earlier.”
“While the economic environment has become more fluid, we believe 2026 will be another good year of high profitability. The mergers completed in recent years have delivered meaningful benefits to shareholders, continue to execute in line with expectations, and remain on track to generate tangible book value accretion. We expect LCNB Wealth Management to continue benefiting from organic growth and cross‑selling opportunities across our markets, and we remain focused on disciplined growth and investing in our physical and digital infrastructure to enhance the customer experience and support long‑term value creation,” concluded Mr. Meilstrup.
Income Statement
Net income for the 2026 first quarter was $4.4 million, compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2025. Earnings per basic and diluted share for the 2026 first quarter were $0.31, compared to $0.33 for the same period in 2025.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was a record $18.8 million, compared to $16.3 million for the same period in 2025. The year-over-year growth in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on earnings assets, a reduction in interest-bearing liabilities, and a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. For the 2026 first quarter, LCNB’s tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.83%, compared to 3.25% for the same period in 2025.
Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $4.7 million, compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2025. The 10.1% year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a $0.6 million reduction in net gains from sales of loans and lower service charges and fees on deposit accounts, partially offset by $0.4 million of higher fiduciary income.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $15.9 million, compared to $15.8 million for the same period in 2025. The $0.1 million increase was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, computer maintenance and supplies, and contracted services expenses, partially offset by lower net FDIC insurance premiums and other non-interest expenses.
Capital Allocation
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, LCNB paid $0.22 per share in dividends.
Balance Sheet
Total assets at March 31, 2026 decreased 2.8%, to $2.24 billion, from $2.30 billion at March 31, 2025. Net loans at March 31, 2026 were $1.68 billion, a decrease of 1.2%, or $21.2 million, from March 31, 2025. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company originated $87.8 million in loans and sold $10.8 million into the secondary market, which contributed $200,000 of gains to first quarter non-interest income, compared to $84.9 million in loans originated and $21.5 million of loans sold into the secondary market last year, which generated $841,000 of gains and benefited first quarter 2025 non-interest income.
Loans held for sale totaled $3.4 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $6.1 million at March 31, 2025, and were primarily composed of loans scheduled to be sold to an investor.
Total deposits at March 31, 2026 decreased 4.3%, to $1.84 billion, compared to $1.92 billion at March 31, 2025. The change includes modest growth in noninterest‑bearing demand deposit accounts, and the decline in interest‑bearing balances reflects the strategic runoff of higher‑cost certificates of deposit and IRA balances as part of the Company’s funding optimization strategy.
At March 31, 2026, shareholders' equity was $275.8 million, compared to $258.7 million at March 31, 2025. On a per-share basis, shareholders' equity at March 31, 2026 was $19.36, compared to $18.26 at March 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026, tangible shareholders' equity was $178.8 million, compared to $160.6 million at March 31, 2025. The 11.3% year-over-year increase in tangible shareholders' equity was primarily from higher retained earnings and an improvement in the unrealized losses on the available-for-sale investment portfolio. On a per-share basis, tangible shareholders' equity was $12.55 at March 31, 2026, compared to $11.34 at March 31, 2025.
Assets Under Management
Total assets managed at March 31, 2026, were $4.18 billion, compared to $4.16 billion at March 31, 2025. The year-over-year increase in total assets managed was due to an increase in the fair value of trust and investments and investment services partially offset by lower LCNB total assets, mortgage loans serviced and cash management. Trust and investments and brokerage accounts increased due to a higher number of new LCNB Wealth Management customer accounts and an increase in the fair value of managed assets.
Asset Quality
For the 2026 first quarter, LCNB recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.3 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $197,000 for the 2025 first quarter.
Net charge-offs for the 2026 first quarter were $2.7 million, or 0.65% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $39,000, or 0.01% of average loans, annualized, for the same period in 2025.
Net charge‑offs during the first quarter of 2026 primarily reflected the resolution of two unrelated credits within the logistics sector, an industry that has experienced elevated stress in recent periods across the broader economy. One of these loans, which carried a specific reserve of approximately $1.4 million at December 31, 2025, was charged off during the quarter with no additional impact to earnings, consistent with the Company’s prior disclosures. In addition, the Company recognized a charge‑off of approximately $1.3 million related to a separate logistics‑sector borrower following adverse developments subsequent to year‑end.
While these charge‑offs occurred within the logistics sector, the Company’s overall exposure to that industry remains limited. Moreover, changes in the allowance for credit losses during the quarter were not solely attributable to logistics‑related borrowers, but also reflected increased reserves and specific impairments for certain commercial and industrial borrowers in other industries impacted by continued global trade uncertainty and geopolitical conditions.
Total nonperforming loans, which include nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were $3.36 million, or 0.20% of total loans, at March 31, 2026, compared to $4.9 million, or 0.28% of total loans, at March 31, 2025. The year‑over‑year decrease in nonperforming loans was primarily attributable to the disposition of one commercial real estate loan. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio was 0.15% at March 31, 2026, compared to 0.21% at March 31, 2025.
