CCNE CNB Financial Corporation

CNB Financial Corporation (“Corporation”) (NASDAQ: CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced its earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Executive Summary

• Net income available to common shareholders ("earnings") was $11.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to earnings of $11.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The quarterly increase was primarily a result of an increase in net interest income and decrease in non-interest expenses, partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses, as discussed in more detail below. The decrease in earnings and diluted earnings per share from $12.8 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the significant year-over-year increase in deposit costs primarily resulting from Federal Reserve rate increases throughout 2023 and the resulting market impact to the Corporation's deposit base.

• Earnings were $23.4 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to earnings of $28.2 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As previously noted, the decrease in earnings and diluted earnings per share comparing the six months ended June 30, 2024 to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the rise in deposit costs year over year.

• At June 30, 2024, loans totaled $4.4 billion, excluding the balances of syndicated loans. This adjusted total of $4.4 billion in loans represented an increase of $73.0 million, or 1.68% (6.75% annualized), compared to the same adjusted total loans measured as of March 31, 2024, and an increase of $106.5 million, or 2.47%, compared to the same adjusted total loans measured as of June 30, 2023. The increase in loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by qualitative commercial and industrial growth in the Columbus market and continued new relationship growth in the Corporation's recent expansion market of Cleveland, and growth in CNB's Private Banking division with notable activity in the Roanoke market. The growth in loans as of June 30, 2024 compared to loans as of June 30, 2023 resulted primarily from growth in the Corporation's continued expansion into the newer markets of Cleveland and Roanoke, combined with growth in the Columbus market and CNB Bank’s Private Banking division. 
  • At June 30, 2024, the Corporation's balance sheet reflected a decrease in syndicated lending balances of $24.7 million compared to March 31, 2024 and a decrease of $91.7 million compared to June 30, 2023, resulting from scheduled paydowns or early payoffs of certain syndicated loans. The syndicated loan portfolio totaled $53.9 million, or 1.20% of total loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $78.7 million, or 1.78% of total loans, at March 31, 2024 and $145.6 million, or 3.26% of total loans, at June 30, 2023. The Corporation is closely managing the level of its syndicated loan portfolio as it focuses more resources on organic loan growth from its customer relationships.

• At June 30, 2024, total deposits were $5.1 billion, reflecting an increase of $73.3 million, or 1.45% (5.85% annualized), from the previous quarter ended March 31, 2024 and an increase of $177.8 million, or 3.60%, compared to total deposits measured as of June 30, 2023. The increase in deposit balances compared to March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to an increase in business and retail deposits. In addition, the total number of deposit households increased by approximately 0.68% (2.74% annualized) from March 31, 2024 to June 30, 2024. Additional deposit and liquidity profile details were as follows:
  • At June 30, 2024, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.5 billion, or approximately 29.00% of total CNB Bank deposits. However, when excluding $101.4 million of affiliate company deposits and $460.7 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits was approximately $949.8 million, or approximately 18.22% of total CNB Bank deposits as of June 30, 2024.
    • The level of adjusted uninsured deposits at June 30, 2024 was approximately 7.37% higher than the prior quarter end's level. At March 31, 2024, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.4 billion, or approximately 27.70% of total CNB Bank deposits; however, when excluding $101.1 million of affiliate company deposits and $437.9 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits was approximately $884.6 million, or approximately 17.21% of total CNB Bank deposits as of March 31, 2024.
  • At June 30, 2024, the average deposit balance per account for CNB Bank was approximately $33 thousand. CNB Bank had increases in municipal deposits, as well as retail customer household deposits, including those added after the 2023 launches of (i) CNB Bank’s “At Ease” account, a service for U.S. service member and veteran families, and (ii) CNB’s women-focused banking division, Impressia Bank.
  • At June 30, 2024, the Corporation had $271.9 million of cash equivalents held in CNB Bank’s interest-bearing deposit account at the Federal Reserve. These excess funds, when combined with collective contingent liquidity resources of $4.5 billion including (i) available borrowing capacity from the Federal Home Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB") and the Federal Reserve, and (ii) available unused commitments from brokered deposit sources and other third-party funding channels, including previously established lines of credit from correspondent banks, result in the total on-hand and contingent liquidity sources for the Corporation to be approximately 5.0 times the estimated amount of adjusted uninsured deposit balances discussed above.

• At June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Corporation had no outstanding short-term borrowings from the FHLB or the Federal Reserve's Discount Window.

• At June 30, 2024, the Corporation's pre-tax net unrealized losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities totaled approximately $84.1 million, or 14.33% of total shareholders' equity, compared to $85.0 million, or 14.69% of total shareholders' equity, at March 31, 2024. The change in unrealized losses was primarily due to minor changes in the yield curve in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024, relative to the Corporation’s scheduled bond maturities. Importantly, all regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation would still exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels as of both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 if the net unrealized losses at the respective dates were fully recognized. Additionally, the Corporation maintained $100.5 million of liquid funds at its holding company, which more than covers the $84.1 million in unrealized losses on investments held primarily in its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, as an immediately available source of contingent capital to be down-streamed to CNB Bank, if necessary.

• Total nonperforming assets were approximately $36.5 million, or 0.62% of total assets, as of June 30, 2024, compared to $30.7 million, or 0.53% of total assets, as of March 31, 2024, and $24.1 million, or 0.43% of total assets, as of June 30, 2023. The increase in nonperforming assets for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to two relationships. The first relationship was a commercial and industrial relationship totaling $3.1 million with a specific reserve balance of $1.2 million, and the second relationship was an owner-occupied commercial real estate relationship totaling $4.6 million with a specific reserve balance of $1.2 million. Management does not believe there is risk of significant additional loss exposures beyond the specific reserves related to these loan relationships. The increase in non-performing assets at June 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023 was due to the previously mentioned two relationships, as well as two other: a commercial and industrial relationship as previously disclosed in the fourth quarter of 2023, and a commercial real estate relationship as previously disclosed in the third quarter of 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net loan charge-offs were $2.8 million, or 0.25% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $1.3 million, or 0.12% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and $789 thousand, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in net loan charge-offs during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was primarily related to (i) a commercial and industrial relationship with a charge-off of $1.7 million (remaining balance of approximately $1.4 million), and (ii) a owner-occupied commercial real estate relationship for $316 thousand (no remaining balance). The larger charge-off on the commercial and industrial relationship was the result of an event unique to the customer and not indicative of a systemic industry or market condition.

• Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"), a non-GAAP measure, was $18.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $16.8 million and $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.1 The second quarter 2024 PPNR when compared to the first quarter of 2024 reflected improvements in net interest income and non-interest expenses. The decrease in PPNR for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to the significant year-over-year increase in deposit costs. PPNR was $35.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $41.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.1 The decrease in PPNR for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to the significant year-over-year increase in deposit costs, coupled with increases in certain personnel costs (primarily from new offices and personnel added in expansion markets), as well as additional technology expenses for recently completed full implementation of business development and customer relationship management applications.

1 This release contains references to certain financial measures that are not defined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section.

Commenting on the quarterly results, Michael D. Peduzzi, President and CEO of both the Corporation and CNB Bank, stated, “Our earnings and growth for the second quarter reflect the diligent and disciplined efforts made by our team to achieve sustainable positive operating leverage. We have successfully built a loan pipeline that both increased production during the second quarter and established a sound level of opportunities for future loan originations. Importantly, we funded this loan growth with steady deposit growth from treasury management activities and in-market household growth, while reducing higher-cost corporate deposit balances. Though we experienced some slight net interest margin compression in the second quarter when compared to the first quarter, primarily from a continued rise in deposit interest costs, we are confident that yields on new loan production, when compared to the lower yields on loan payoffs and scheduled amortizations, will support a higher spread as deposit rates further stabilize given the Fed’s extended pause in rate actions.

As our loan and deposit growth for the quarter contributed to overall increased operating revenues, noninterest expenses favorably declined as a result of our disciplined overhead management actions, particularly those related to further optimizing staffing levels and controlling personnel costs. With our recent announcement of key executive management appointments, we seek to further leverage the expertise of our deeply experienced leadership team to further increase both interest-spread and fee-based revenues, while extensively reviewing back-office support functions and processes to identify even greater efficiencies. Importantly, our realization of positive operating leverage and performance momentum is without compromise to CNB’s high credit quality standards and exceptional client experiences that are foundational elements to our historical and future success."

Other Balance Sheet Highlights

• Book value per common share was $25.19 at June 30, 2024, reflecting an increase from $24.77 at March 31, 2024 and $23.42 at June 30, 2023. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP measure, was $23.09 as of June 30, 2024, reflecting an increase of $0.42, or 7.45% (annualized) from $22.67 as of March 31, 2024 and an increase of $1.77, or 8.30%, from $21.32 as of June 30, 2023.1 The increases in book value per common share and tangible book value per common share compared to March 31, 2024 were primarily due to an $8.2 million increase in retained earnings and the repurchase of 23,988 common shares, at a weighted average price per share of $18.38, during the second quarter. The increases in book value per common share and tangible book value per common share compared to June 30, 2023 were primarily due to (i) a $34.3 million increase in retained earnings over the twelve months ended June 30, 2024, (ii) the Corporation's repurchase of common shares in the second quarter of 2024 as discussed above combined with the repurchase of 100,000 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $18.39 during the third quarter 2023, and (iii) a $3.2 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss primarily from the after-tax impact of temporary unrealized valuation changes in the Corporation’s available-for-sale investment portfolio for the past twelve months.

Loan Portfolio Profile

• As part of our lending policy and risk management activities, the Corporation tracks lending exposure by industry classification and type to determine potential risks associated with industry concentrations, and if any concentration risk issues could lead to additional credit loss exposure. In the current post-pandemic and inflationary economic environment, the Corporation has continued to evaluate its exposure to the office, hospitality, and multifamily industries within its commercial real estate portfolio. Even given the Corporation’s historically sound underwriting protocols and high credit quality ratings for borrowers in the commercial real estate industry segments, the Corporation monitors numerous relevant sensitivity elements at both time of underwriting and through and beyond the funding period, including occupancy, loan-to-value, absorption and cap rates, debt service coverage and covenant compliance, and developer/lessor financial strength both in the project and globally. At June 30, 2024, the Corporation had the following key metrics related to its office, hospitality and multifamily portfolios:
  • Commercial office loans:
    • There were 116 outstanding loans, totaling $118.7 million, or 2.65%, of the Corporation loans outstanding;
    • There were no nonaccrual commercial office loans at June 30, 2024; and
    • The average outstanding balance per commercial office loan was $1.0 million.
  • Commercial hospitality loans:
    • There were 171 outstanding loans, totaling $298.7 million, or 6.67%, of total Corporation loans outstanding;
    • There were no nonaccrual commercial hospitality loans at June 30, 2024; and
    • The average outstanding balance per commercial hospitality loan was $1.7 million.
  • Commercial multifamily loans:
    • There were 217 outstanding loans, totaling $281.6 million, or 6.29%, of total Corporation loans outstanding;
    • Nonaccrual commercial multifamily loans (two customer relationship) totaled $541 thousand, or 0.19% of total multifamily loans outstanding. The two customer relationships did not have a related specific loss reserve at June 30, 2024; and
    • The average outstanding balance per commercial multifamily loan was $1.3 million.

The Corporation had no commercial office, hospitality or multifamily loan relationships considered by the banking regulators to be a high volatility commercial real estate credit.

Performance Ratios

• Annualized return on average equity was 8.94% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 8.79% and 10.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Annualized return on average equity was 8.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 11.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

• Annualized return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, was 9.93% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 9.77% and 11.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.1 Annualized return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, was 9.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 12.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.1

• The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 65.94% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 69.08% and 64.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 65.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 68.29% and 64.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.1 The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income coupled with a decrease in quarterly personnel costs as a result of a decrease in full-time equivalent employees, as the Corporation continues to focus on improving efficiencies and processes. The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 67.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 62.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP ratio, was 66.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 62.28% the six months ended June 30, 2023.1

Revenue

• Total revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income) was $54.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $54.2 million and $55.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
  • Net interest income was $45.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $45.2 million and $47.3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. When comparing the second quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2024, the difference in net interest income of $495 thousand, or 1.09% (4.40% annualized), reflected the increase in total loans outstanding quarter over quarter and, a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve, partially offset by targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases to ensure both deposit relationship retention and new deposit growth in recently entered expansion markets.
  • Net interest margin was 3.36%, 3.40% and 3.62% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.34%, 3.38% and 3.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.1
    • The yield on earning assets of 5.89% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased 8 basis points from March 31, 2024 and increased 39 basis points from June 30, 2023. The increases in yield compared to March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were attributable to the net benefit of higher interest rates on both variable-rate loans and new loan production.
    • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 3.17% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased 14 basis points from March 31, 2024 and 77 basis points from June 30, 2023 primarily as a result of the Corporation’s targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases for deposit retention and growth initiatives given the competitive environment resulting from the numerous Federal Reserve rate hikes since the first quarter of 2022.

• Total revenue was $108.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $111.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
  • Net interest income was $90.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $94.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. When comparing the six months ended June 30, 2024 to the six months ended June 30, 2023, the decrease in net interest income of $4.0 million, or 4.17% (8.39% annualized), was due to loan growth and the benefits of the impact of interest rates resulting in greater income on variable-rate loans, coupled with a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve, being more than offset by an increase in the Corporation's interest expense as a result of targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases to ensure both deposit growth and retention.
  • Net interest margin was 3.38% and 3.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.36% and 3.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.1
    • The yield on earning assets of 5.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased 45 basis points from June 30, 2023. The increase in yield compared to June 30, 2023 was attributable to the net benefit of higher interest rates on both variable-rate loans and new loan production.
    • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 3.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased 92 basis points from June 30, 2023 primarily as a result of the Corporation’s targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases for deposit retention and growth initiatives given the competitive environment resulting from the numerous Federal Reserve rate hikes since the first quarter of 2022.

• Total non-interest income was $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $9.0 million and $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, notable changes compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 included increases in wealth and asset management fees, service charges on deposit accounts and card processing and interchange income. These fee income increases were partially offset by the decrease in net realized and unrealized gains on equity securities coupled with lower pass-through income from small business investment companies ("SBICs"). The increase in second quarter 2024 noninterest income compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to higher pass-through income from SBICs.

• Total non-interest income was $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to higher pass-through income from SBICs coupled with an increase in net realized and unrealized gains on equity securities.

Non-Interest Expense

• For the three months ended June 30, 2024 total non-interest expense was $36.0 million, compared to $37.4 million and $36.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease of $1.4 million, or 3.83%, from the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily a result of a decrease in salaries and benefits and card processing and interchange expenses, partially offset by an increase in technology expenses. The reduction in salaries and benefits resulted primarily from a decrease in full-time equivalent employees, as the Corporation continues to focus on improving efficiencies and processes, coupled with the timing of profit-sharing accruals, which are related to the Corporation's reduction in its profit-sharing program. The decrease in card processing and interchange expenses related to changes made by the Corporation to its cardholder rewards program, while the increase in technology expenses was the result of investments in applications aimed at enhancing both customer online banking capabilities, customer call center communications, and in-branch technology delivery channels. The increase in non-interest expense compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to higher salaries and benefits driven by costs for personnel added for new offices in expansion markets, an increase in personnel costs related to annual merit increases, and an increase in investments in technology applications, as discussed above. In addition, card processing and interchange expense for the second quarter of 2024 was $878 thousand, or 40.15%, of card processing and interchange income, compared to $1.6 million, or 76.24% of card processing and interchange income, for the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was the result of changes made by the Corporation to its program, as discussed above.

• For the six months ended June 30, 2024 total non-interest expense was $73.4 million, compared to $70.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of $3.4 million, or 4.91%, from the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily a result of an increase in salaries and benefits and technology expenses, partially offset by a decrease in card processing and interchange expenses. The increase in salaries and benefits was driven by an increase in personnel costs related to annual merit increases and growth in the Corporation's staff and new offices in its expansion markets, while the increase in technology was primarily due to year-over-year investments in technology applications aimed at enhancing both customer online banking capabilities, customer call center communications, and in-branch technology delivery channels. The decrease in card processing and interchange expenses related to the changes made by the Corporation to its cardholder rewards program.

Income Taxes

• Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.0 million, representing a 19.03% effective tax rate, compared to $2.8 million, representing an 18.36% effective tax rate, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $3.3 million, representing a 19.42% effective tax rate, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $5.9 million, representing an 18.70% effective tax rate compared to $7.2 million, representing a 19.29% effective tax rate, for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Asset Quality

• Total nonperforming assets were approximately $36.5 million, or 0.62% of total assets, as of June 30, 2024, compared to $30.7 million, or 0.53% of total assets, as of March 31, 2024, and $24.1 million, or 0.43% of total assets, as of June 30, 2023, as discussed above.

• The allowance for credit losses measured as a percentage of total loans was 1.02% as of June 30, 2024 compared to 1.03% as of March 31, 2024 and 1.02% as of June 30, 2023. In addition, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was 130.88% as of June 30, 2024, compared to 159.41% and 215.06% as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The change in the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was primarily attributable to the levels of nonperforming assets, as discussed above.

• The provision for credit losses was $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.3 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The $1.3 million increase in the provision expense for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily a result of higher loan portfolio growth in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024, and increased net loan charge-offs during the second quarter primarily from a few larger commercial credits, as discussed above.

• For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net loan charge-offs were $2.8 million, or 0.25% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $1.3 million, or 0.12% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and $789 thousand, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as discussed above.

• For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net loan charge-offs were $4.1 million, or 0.19% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $1.5 million, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, for certain larger commercial credits as discussed above and as previously disclosed in the first quarter of 2024.

Capital

• As of June 30, 2024, the Corporation’s total shareholders’ equity was $586.7 million, representing an increase of $8.1 million, or 1.39% (5.60% annualized), from March 31, 2024 and an increase of $37.1 million, or 6.74%, from June 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in the Corporation's retained earnings (net income, partially offset by the common and preferred dividends paid). The additions to shareholders equity from retained earnings were partially offset by the Corporation's repurchase of its common stock, as discussed above.

• Regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation continue to exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels as of June 30, 2024, consistent with prior periods.

• As of June 30, 2024, the Corporation’s ratio of common shareholders' equity to total assets was 8.99% compared to 8.98% at March 31, 2024 and 8.68% at June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, the Corporation’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP measure, was 8.30% compared to 8.28% at March 31, 2024 and 7.97% at June 30, 2023. The increases compared to March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were primarily the result of an increase in retained earnings.1

Consolidated Financial Data Notes:
(1) Management uses non-GAAP financial information in its analysis of the Corporation’s performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. The Corporation’s management believes that investors may use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the Corporation’s financial performance without the impact of unusual items or events that may obscure trends in the Corporation’s underlying performance. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per share data).
(2) Capital ratios as of June 30, 2024 are estimated pending final regulatory filings.
