Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Farmers” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FMNB) today announced net income of $8.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $13.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Net income in the third quarter of 2024 was impacted by a single $12.5 million commercial credit backed by office space which resulted in a $4.4 million charge-off along with the establishment of a specific reserve on the credit in the amount of $1.2 million. The impact of this credit reduced third quarter results by $0.12 per diluted share.
Kevin J. Helmick, President and CEO, stated “Our third quarter performance was solid as we experienced strong loan and deposit growth, reflecting strengthening levels of underlying profitability. We produced outstanding loan growth for a second consecutive quarter along with great results from our fee-based business lines. Overall, we believe we are very well positioned to grow earnings in 2025, while navigating continued macro-level uncertainty.”
Balance Sheet
The Company’s total assets were $5.24 billion at September 30, 2024, an increase from $5.16 billion at June 30, 2024, and $5.08 billion at December 31, 2023. Loans increased $82.4 million from December 31, 2023 to $3.28 billion at September 30, 2024 and increased $43.1 million from June 30, 2024 to September 30, 2024. The 5.3% annualized loan growth from the second quarter of 2024 to the third quarter of 2024 was driven by strong commercial loan growth of $35.2 million. With a second consecutive quarter of positive loan growth, the Company now anticipates total loans to increase by approximately 2.8% - 3.0% for 2024. The Company remains committed to maintaining solid asset quality and prudent pricing standards, which is expected to contribute to higher overall profitability.
Securities available for sale totaled $1.29 billion at September 30, 2024, compared to $1.25 billion at June 30, 2024, and $1.30 billion at December 31, 2023. Gross unrealized losses on the portfolio totaled $189.4 million at September 30, 2024, a decrease from $242.3 million at June 30, 2024, and $217.1 million at December 31, 2023. While interest rates have started to decline, the Company still expects bond market volatility to continue for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025.
Total deposits increased to $4.36 billion at September 30, 2024, compared to $4.21 billion at June 30, 2024, and $4.18 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase since December 31, 2023, was driven by the acquisition of $74.9 in brokered deposits in the third quarter of 2024 and growth in customer deposits (non brokered) of $109.5 million. The increase since June 30, 2024, was driven by the brokered deposits and an increase in customer deposits of $81.1 million. The brokered deposits were used to pay down more expensive wholesale funding.
Total stockholders’ equity increased to $439.7 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $396.7 million at June 30, 2024, and $404.4 million at December 31, 2023. The increase from both prior periods has primarily been driven by a decrease in the unrealized losses on investment securities.
Credit Quality
The Company’s non-performing loans increased to $19.1 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $12.9 million at June 30, 2024, and $15.1 million at December 31, 2023. The increase resulted from the addition of the remaining $8.1 million balance of the single commercial credit discussed previously, offset by large declines in the balance of other non-performing loans. Non-performing loans to total loans were 0.58% at September 30, 2024, compared to 0.40% at June 30, 2024 and 0.47% at December 31, 2023. The Company’s loans which were 30-89 days delinquent were $15.6 million at September 30, 2024, or 0.47% of total loans. This is down significantly from the $18.5 million figure reported at June 30, 2024 and the $16.7 million figure from December 31, 2023.
The provision for credit losses and unfunded commitments totaled $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $243,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increased provision for credit losses was primarily due to the increased level of net charge-offs and reserving activity resulting from the deterioration in the single credit. Strong loan growth during the quarter also increased provision costs during the quarter. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.58% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 0.05% for the third quarter of 2023. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.10% at September 30, 2024, compared to 1.05% at June 30 2024, and 1.08% at December 31, 2023.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $31.9 million compared to $33.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. Average interest earning assets increased to $4.89 billion in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $4.82 billion for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by an increase in average loan balances of $88.3 million and an increase in fed funds sold and other of $51.1 million. These increases were offset by declines in the average balance of investment securities. The net interest margin declined to 2.66% for the third quarter of 2024 from 2.86% for the third quarter of 2023 and 2.71% for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decline in net interest margin was due to higher funding costs outstripping the increase in yields on earning assets. The 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 the runoff of noninterest bearing deposit balances which are being replaced with more costly wholesale funding. The decline in net interest margin compared to the second quarter of 2024 was due to the higher balance of fed funds sold and other along with a decline in the accretion of acquisition marks. The Federal Reserve’s 50 basis point cut in the fed funds rate at the end of September 2024 will have a positive impact on the Company’s net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding acquisition marks and PPP interest, non-GAAP, the Company’s net interest margin was 2.48% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 2.61% in the third quarter of 2023.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $12.3 million compared to $9.8 million for the third quarter of 2023. This increase was due to solid growth in the Company’s fee-based business lines along with gains from SBIC funds and a $444,000 gain on the purchase of $3.0 million of the Company’s subordinated debt.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $280,000 to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter in 2023. The Company undertook a review of all service charges in late 2023 and early 2024 and implemented fee increases across deposit product lines in the second quarter of 2024. Trust fees increased by $217,000 to $2.5 million at September 30, 2024, from $2.3 million at September 30, 2023. The increase was due to continued growth in the business unit. Insurance agency commissions grew to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase has been driven by strong growth in fixed annuity sales. Losses on the sale of securities totaled $403,000 in the third quarter of 2024 compared to losses on the sale of securities of $624,000 during the third quarter of 2023. Net gains on the sale of loans increased to $506,000 in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $395,000 in the third quarter of 2023. Greater saleable volume drove this increase. Other mortgage banking fee income was a loss of $168,000 for the third quarter compared to income of $185,000 during the third quarter of 2023. The decline in income was due to an impairment charge on the Company’s higher coupon mortgage servicing right tranches in the third quarter of 2024. Debit card income grew to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2023 as better volumes were realized in the current period. Other noninterest income increased from $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 to $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. The Company recorded $854,000 more in SBIC income in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. In addition, the Company purchased $3.0 million of its subordinated debt during the third quarter of 2024 recording a gain of $444,000. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company had no gains from the purchase of subordinated debt but instead recorded losses of $110,000 on assets held for sale.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $27.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $27.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The third quarter of 2023 included $268,000 of merger related charges. There were no merger related expenses during the third quarter of 2024. Salaries and employee benefits were $14.9 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher salaries associated with employee raises along with higher health care expenses. FDIC and state and local taxes decreased by $168,000 to $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2023 due to lower FDIC premiums. Intangible amortization declined to $629,000 in the third quarter of 2024 from $725,000 for the third quarter of 2023. This decrease was driven by amortization from a prior acquisition running off. Other noninterest expense decreased $804,000 in the third quarter of 2024 to $3.4 million from $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. The primary reason for the decrease was due to a $785,000 charge incurred in 2023 for the settlement of a lawsuit.
Liquidity
At September 30, 2024, the Company had access to an additional $695.8 million of FHLB borrowing capacity, along with $250.0 million in available for sale securities that are available for additional pledging. The Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 75.2% at September 30, 2024 while the Company’s average deposit balance per account (excluding collateralized deposits) was $24,742 for the same period.
