CNB Financial Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

CLEARFIELD, Pa., July 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CNB Financial Corporation (“CNB” or the “Corporation”) (NASDAQ: CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced its earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and disclosed quarterly growth in total deposits, loans, and assets.

Executive Summary

• Net income available to common shareholders ("earnings") was $12.8 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to earnings of $15.4 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Corporation’s prior year earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $14.4 million, or $0.85 per diluted share. The decrease in diluted earnings per share comparing the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in the Corporation's interest-bearing deposit costs as CNB raised targeted rates to sustain its core deposit base in legacy markets and to grow its funding base in expansion markets given the competitive deposit market as a result of continued Federal Open Market Committee ("Fed") rate increases. The decrease in diluted earnings per share comparing the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the year-over-year increase in deposit costs, as well as the dilutive effect of the Corporation's common stock offering completed in September 2022, resulting in the issuance of 4,257,446 shares of common stock at $23.50 per share and net proceeds of $94.1 million after deducting the underwriting discount and customary offering expenses.
  
• Earnings were $28.2 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to earnings of $28.5 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. As previously noted, the decrease in diluted earnings per share comparing the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to both the rise in deposit costs year over year and to the dilutive effect of the Corporation's common stock offering.
  
• At June 30, 2023, total deposits were $4.9 billion, reflecting an increase of $178.9 million, or 3.8% (15.1% annualized), from March 31, 2023. The increase in deposit balances was primarily the result of continued growth in the Corporation’s treasury management customer base and resulting increases in municipal and institutional/corporate deposits, including new wealth and asset management deposit relationships resulting from CNB’s participation in deposit insurance sharing programs. In addition, the total number of deposit households increased by approximately 0.1% (0.5% annualized) from March 31, 2023. Additional deposit and liquidity profile details were as follows:
  
  • At June 30, 2023, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.5 billion, or approximately 30.4% of total CNB Bank deposits; however, when excluding $99.0 million of affiliate company deposits and $448.7 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits was approximately $984.4 million, or approximately 19.6% of total CNB Bank deposits as of June 30, 2023.
    
    • At March 31, 2023, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.6 billion, or approximately 33.3% of total CNB Bank deposits. When excluding affiliate company deposits of $101.1 million and pledged-investment collateralized deposits of $462.2 million, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits was approximately $1.1 billion, or approximately 21.7% of total CNB Bank deposits as of March 31, 2023.
      
  • At June 30, 2023, the average deposit balance per account for CNB Bank was approximately $33 thousand. In addition to Treasury Management customers, CNB Bank continues to increase small business and retail customer household deposits including those added from the second quarter launch of the Impressia Bank division, as well as those U.S. Service member and Veteran families enrolling in CNB Bank’s “At Ease” account.
    
  • At June 30, 2023, the Corporation had $62.6 million of cash equivalents held in CNB Bank’s interest-bearing deposit account at the Federal Reserve. These excess funds, when combined with (i) available borrowing capacity of approximately $2.3 billion from the Federal Home Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB") and 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, the total on-hand and contingent liquidity sources for the Corporation represented 2.4 times the estimated amount of adjusted uninsured deposit balances as discussed above.
    
• At June 30, 2023, the Corporation had no short-term borrowings from the FHLB, compared to borrowings of $102.1 million at March 31, 2023. The decrease in these more costly wholesale short-term borrowings resulted primarily from (i) a $18.6 million reduction in investment balances as a result of the proceeds of investment principal payments being used to reduce borrowings, (ii) excess funds from the second quarter growth in deposits outpacing the growth in loan balances for the same period, and (iii) a portion of the Corporation’s excess cash at the Federal Reserve being used to reduce borrowings.
  
  • As of June 30, 2023, the Corporation did not have any borrowings from either the Federal Reserve’s Discount Window or Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP"). CNB has added the BTFP as a potential contingent liquidity source, but the Corporation has not borrowed from the BTFP to date, due to the stability and growth in CNB's deposit funding base.
    
• At June 30, 2023, the Corporation's net unrealized losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities totaled approximately $94.8 million, or 17.3% of total shareholders' equity, compared to $84.9 million, or 15.5% of total shareholders' equity at March 31, 2023. The change in unrealized losses was primarily due to higher interest rates along much of the yield curve relative to Corporation’s scheduled maturities. Importantly, all regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation would exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels as of both June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 if the net unrealized losses at the respective dates were fully recognized. Additionally, the Corporation maintains $98.3 million of liquid funds at its holding company, which is in excess of the $94.8 million in the unrealized losses on investments, as an immediately available source of contingent capital to be down-streamed to CNB Bank if necessary.
  
• At June 30, 2023, loans totaled $4.3 billion, excluding the balances of (i) syndicated loans, and (ii) any remaining balances on Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, net of PPP-related fees (such loans being referred to as the "PPP-related loans"). This adjusted total of $4.3 billion in loans represented an increase of $166.1 million, or 4.0% (16.0% annualized), from the same adjusted total loans measured as of March 31, 2023. Loan growth was experienced primarily in the Corporation's recent expansion markets of Cleveland, Roanoke, and Buffalo combined with growth in the portfolio related to CNB Bank’s Private Banking division.
  
  • At June 30, 2023, the Corporation's balance sheet reflected a decrease in syndicated lending balances of $2.5 million compared to March 31, 2023. The syndicated loan portfolio totaled $145.6 million, or 3.3% of total loans, excluding PPP-related loans, at June 30, 2023, compared to $148.1 million, or 3.4% of total loans, excluding PPP-related loans, at March 31, 2023.
    
• Total nonperforming assets were approximately $24.1 million, or 0.43% of total assets, as of June 30, 2023, compared to $23.7 million, or 0.42% of total assets, as of March 31, 2023, and $20.7 million, or 0.39% of total assets, as of June 30, 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net loan charge-offs were $789 thousand, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $686 thousand, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and $479 thousand, or 0.05% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
  
• Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"), a non-GAAP measure, was $19.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $21.7 million and $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.¹ The decrease in PPNR for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was driven primarily by an increase in deposit interest expense and certain non-interest expenses. PPNR was $41.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.¹ The decrease in PPNR for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by growth in technology expenses due to investments in applications aimed at enhancing both customer relationship management and customer experience applications, as well as expanding service delivery channels. In addition, the Corporation had a year-over-year decrease in non-interest income as a result of lower pass-through income from small business investment companies ("SBICs").The impact of these variances were partially offset by the year-over-year growth in loans and expansion of the Corporation's net interest margin.
  

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.

Michael D. Peduzzi, President and CEO of both the Corporation and CNB Bank, commented, “The success of several of our critical strategies, including deepening our loan and deposit relationships with well-established commercial and wealth management customers, and expanding our core deposit base, while funding previous loan commitments to creditworthy customers in our newer markets, was overshadowed by the significant rise in deposit costs in response to the numerous Fed rate increases over the past year. The rise in deposit costs has been more substantial than typical in the first six months of 2023 as a result of significant in-market competition from both smaller and regional institutions across our footprint. Still, we successfully achieved deposit growth and reduced higher-cost wholesale borrowings from the FHLB.

The second quarter also reflects certain costs associated with strategic long-term growth initiatives for the Corporation. We officially launched our women’s banking division, Impressia Bank, including the hiring of our Divisional President, Mary Kate Loftus, and relationship management personnel, and we are already seeing positive leads for new women-owned small business and deposit relationships in our Erie, Ohio, and Buffalo markets where we focused our initial Impressia Bank business development efforts. We also activated significant elements of our Customer Relationship Management system, which has been helpful for all of our divisions in connecting with both existing and prospective customers, contributing to our strong year-to-date growth in both loans and deposits. We successfully completed the implementation of our new-account-opening module that allows retail and small business customers to open and fund deposit relationships online, which will be especially useful for our digital platform strategies. And, we successfully opened our first two retail locations in the Greater Roanoke, Virginia market of our Ridge View Bank division, generating significant new customer deposit volume to complement and self-fund Ridge View’s favorable loan growth to date.

Our capital and liquidity resources remain strong, and we have maintained our disciplined credit origination and management activities, including close monitoring of commercial real estate and commercial and industrial relationships. Our asset quality remains sound and is supported by our adherence to concentration limits established and maintained, and stress testing risk management activities, to avoid undue adverse exposure to more economic-sensitive segments.

We believe that our strategic initiatives and expanded market presence will continue to expand our deposit base, as well as add to our fee-based relationships, including those in targeted growth markets in Ohio, New York, and Virginia. These efforts will continue to stabilize our non-interest bearing and lower-cost interest-bearing deposit base, and over time return our total deposit betas to more normalized levels, providing for a more cost-efficient funding of our loan portfolio to generate more favorable net interest income growth. Our spread business will be further complemented by expanding noninterest income from wealth management, treasury management, and merchant services activities through both new and deeper, existing fee-based services for our commercial and private banking customers."

Other Balance Sheet Highlights

• Book value per common share was $23.42 at June 30, 2023, reflecting increases from $23.14 and $21.70 at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP measure, was $21.32 as of June 30, 2023, also reflecting increases from $21.05 and $19.08 as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.¹ The changes in book value per common share and tangible book value per common share compared to March 31, 2023 were primarily due to a $9.1 million increase in retained earnings and the repurchase of 126,459 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $18.28, partially offset by a $3.9 million increase 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.
  

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 risk issues could lead to additional credit loss exposure. In the current post-pandemic economic environment, the Corporation has determined that office commercial real estate ("commercial office") inherently could pose a higher level of credit risk, even given the historical high credit quality applied to the deals when initially underwritten and funding or commitments made. The Corporation monitors numerous elements at both underwriting and through and beyond the funding period, including each project’s occupancy, updated appraisals and 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, 2023, the Corporation had the following key metrics related to its commercial office portfolio:
  
  • Commercial office loans outstanding consisted of 122 loans, totaling $118.1 million, or 2.6%, of total loans outstanding;
  • Nonaccrual commercial office loans (three customer relationships) totaled $1.8 million, or 1.5% of total office loans outstanding; and
  • The average outstanding balance per commercial office loan is $968 thousand.
  • The Corporation had no commercial office loan relationships considered by the banking regulators to be a high volatility commercial real estate credit.

Performance Ratios

• Annualized return on average equity was 10.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 12.60% and 14.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Annualized return on average equity was 11.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 14.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
  
• Annualized return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, was 11.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 14.58% and 17.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.¹ Annualized return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, was 12.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 17.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.¹
  
• While the previously discussed common equity capital raise completed in September 2022 significantly enhanced the Corporation’s capital position, it also impacted the performance ratios for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 and the related comparison to June 30, 2022.
  
• The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 64.78% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 61.04% and 59.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP ratio, was 64.10% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 60.47% and 59.47% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.¹ The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to March 31, 2023 was primarily a result of the Corporation's targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases and higher technology expenses. The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 62.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 60.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP ratio, was 62.28% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 59.99% the six months ended June 30, 2022.¹
  

Revenue

• Total revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income) was $55.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $55.7 million and $54.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
  
  • Net interest income was $47.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $47.6 million and $46.3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. When comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the first quarter 2023, the decrease of $379 thousand, or 0.8%, was due to an increase in the Corporation's interest expense as a result of targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases to ensure both deposit relationship retention, and new deposit growth in recently entered expansion markets. When comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2022, the increase in net interest income of $959 thousand, or 2.1%, was primarily a result of loan growth and the cumulative year-over-year benefits of the impact of rising interest rates resulting in greater income on variable-rate loans.
    
  • Net interest margin was 3.62%, 3.81% and 3.74% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.60%, 3.79% and 3.73%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.¹
    
    • The yield on earning assets of 5.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 21 basis points and 149 basis points from March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of loan growth and the net benefit of higher interest rates.
      
    • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 2.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 46 basis points and 205 basis points from March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of the Corporation’s targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases in response to the competitive environment from numerous Fed rate hikes over the past year, and deposit retention and growth initiatives.
      
• Total revenue was $111.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $106.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
  
  • Net interest income was $94.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $88.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $6.0 million, or 6.7%, was due to loan growth and the benefits of the impact of rising interest rates resulting in greater income on variable-rate loans, partially offset by an increase in the Corporation's interest expense as a result of both (i) targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases to ensure both deposit growth and retention, and (ii) a year-over-year increase in the average balance of short-term borrowings through the FHLB.
    
  • Net interest margin was 3.71% and 3.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.69% and 3.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.¹
    
    • The yield on earning assets of 5.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 150 basis points from June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of loan growth and the net benefit of higher interest rates.
      
    • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 2.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 182 basis points from June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of the Corporation’s targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases and short-term borrowings through the FHLB.
      
• Total non-interest income was $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $8.0 million and $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, Wealth and Asset Management fees increased $100 thousand, or 5.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Other notable changes compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 included seasonally higher “other” service charges and fees, partially offset by lower pass-through income received from SBICs. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, Wealth and Asset Management fees increased $114 thousand, or 6.3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Other notable changes when comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2022 included higher other service charges and fees and lower unrealized losses on equity securities, partially offset by lower bank owned life insurance income and lower mortgage banking income.
  
• Total non-interest income was $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Wealth and Asset Management fees increased $148 thousand, or 4.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, as the Corporation benefited from an increased number of wealth management relationships. Other notable favorable changes compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 included higher other service charges and fees, lower unrealized losses on equity securities, and an increase in card processing and interchange income. These were offset by certain unfavorable variances including lower net realized gains on the sale of available-for-sale debt securities, lower bank owned life insurance income and lower other non-interest income driven by a decrease in gains on recoveries from acquired loans and lower pass-through income from SBICs.
  

Non-Interest Expense

• For the three months ended June 30, 2023, total non-interest expense was $36.0 million, compared to $34.0 million and $32.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase of $2.0 million, or 5.9%, from the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily a result of timing of technology expenses related to investments in applications aimed at expanding customer relationship management capabilities, as well as enhancing both customer experience and expanding service delivery channels. We also realized an increase in other non-interest expenses from inflationary increases across several categories. The increase of $3.4 million, or 10.4%, from the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily a result of the above mentioned higher technology expenses and inflationary increases in other non-interest expenses.
  
• For the six months ended June 30, 2023, total non-interest expense was $70.0 million, compared to $64.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $5.5 million, or 8.5%, from the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily a result of higher technology expenses, combined with higher card processing and interchange expenses. In addition, other non-interest expenses increased primarily due to business generation related expenses and consulting fees.
  

Income Taxes

• Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $3.3 million, representing a 19.4% effective tax rate, compared to $3.9 million, representing a 19.2% effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $3.5 million, representing a 18.5% effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Income tax expense was $7.2 million, representing a 19.3% effective tax rate, compared to $7.0 million, representing a 18.5% effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
  

Asset Quality

• Total nonperforming assets were approximately $24.2 million, or 0.43% of total assets, as of June 30, 2023, compared to $23.7 million, or 0.42% of total assets, as of March 31, 2023, and $20.7 million, or 0.39% of total assets, as of June 30, 2022.
  
• The allowance for credit losses measured as a percentage of total loans was 1.02% as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, and 1.04% as of June 30, 2022. In addition, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was 215.06% as of June 30, 2023, compared to 209.54% and 213.90% as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
  
• The provision for credit losses was $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.3 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Included in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was a $56 thousand expense related to the allowance for unfunded commitments compared to $59 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and zero for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the provision expense of $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023 was primarily a result of allocating reserves on the higher loan portfolio growth in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023, as the overall nonperforming loan profile remained relatively consistent quarter over quarter.
  
• The provision for credit losses was $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Included in the provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $115 thousand expense related to the allowance for unfunded commitments compared to $586 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The reduction in the provision expense of $853 thousand from the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily a result of the relatively lower loan portfolio growth in the first six months of 2023 compared to the first six months of 2022.
  
• For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net loan charge-offs were $789 thousand, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $686 thousand, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and $479 thousand, or 0.05% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
  
• For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net loan charge-offs were $1.5 million, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $1.0 million, or 0.05% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
  

Capital

• As of June 30, 2023, the Corporation’s total shareholders’ equity was $549.6 million, representing an increase of $3.2 million, or 0.6%, from March 31, 2023, primarily due to the increase in the Corporation's retained earnings (quarterly net income, partially offset by the common and preferred dividends paid in the quarter). This increase was partially offset by additional accumulated other comprehensive losses during the quarter resulting primarily from the after-tax impact of the temporary unrealized reduction in the value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio and the Corporation also increased treasury stock as a result of the repurchase of 126,459 common shares during the second quarter 2023.
  
• Regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation continue to exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels as of June 30, 2023.
  
• As of June 30, 2023, the Corporation’s ratio of common shareholders' equity to total assets was 8.68% compared to 8.75% at March 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Corporation’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP measure, was 7.97% compared to 8.02% at March 31, 2023. This decrease was the result of an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss and an increase in treasury stock from repurchase activities, partially offset by the increase in retained earnings during the three months ended June 30, 2023.¹

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, 2023 are estimated pending final regulatory filings.
