Press Release
April 18, 2008
LCNB CORP. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008
LCNB Corp. today announced net income of $1,444,000 ($0.22 basic and diluted earnings per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This compares to $1,398,000 ($0.22 basic and diluted earnings per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Financial results were influenced by the acquisition of Sycamore National Bank at of the close of business on December 20, 2007 in a stock and cash transaction. In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, Sycamores results of operations were included in LCNBs consolidated statements of income from the date of acquisition. As a result of the merger, LCNB recorded additional net loans of $42.8 million and additional deposits of $44.4 million at the time of the acquisition.
Net interest income for the 2008 period was $454,000 greater than in 2007 primarily due to the additional loans and deposits acquired from Sycamore. Interest income for the first three months of 2008 was $763,000 greater than in the comparable period of 2007 primarily due to a $53.1 million increase in average interest-earning assets, slightly offset by a 14 basis point (a basis point equals .01%) decrease in the average rate received on such assets. Interest expense for the first three months of 2008 increased $309,000 as compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to a $51.1 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, slightly offset by a 12 basis point decrease in the average rate paid for these liabilities.
Non-interest income for the first three months of 2008 was $117,000 greater than for the comparable period in 2007 primarily due to increases in trust income, check card income, income from bank owned life insurance, and insurance agency commissions. Non-interest expense for the 2008 period was $456,000 greater than for 2007. The increase was largely due to increases in salaries and benefits resulting from routine salary and wage increases and an increase in the number of employees. Additionally, occupancy, telephone, and office supplies expenses increased primarily as a result of an increase in branch locations.
