CANFIELD, Ohio (April 23, 2014) – Farmers National Banc Corp. (Farmers) (NASDAQ: FMNB) today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $2.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, which compares favorably to $2.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Kevin J. Helmick, President and CEO, stated, “Net income for the first quarter of 2014 increased 9.28% to $2.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2013, and our efficiency ratio also improved to 69.87% from 72.57% during the same time period. The improvement in our efficiency ratio is consistent with our strategy to increase fee income and decrease noninterest expenses. It is important to note that noninterest income has increased 19.4% in comparing the first quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2013, while noninterest expenses increased only 0.58%. We are also pleased to report that loans increased 5.7% in the past twelve months.”

2014 First Quarter Financial Highlights

• Loan growth

Total loans were $626.2 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $592.5 million at March 31, 2013. This represents an increase of 5.7%. The increase in loans is a direct result of Farmers’ focus on loan growth utilizing a talented lending and credit team while adhering to a sound underwriting discipline. Most of the increase in loans has occurred in the commercial real estate, residential real estate and indirect loan portfolios. Loans comprised 58.2% of the Bank’s average earning assets in 2014, compared to 55.2% in 2013.

• Loan quality

Non-performing assets to total assets remain at a safe level, currently at 0.76%. Early stage delinquencies also continue to decrease, down $1.1 million from March 31, 2013 to $2.5 million at March 31, 2014.

• Net interest margin

The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 3.56%, an improvement of 3 basis points over the 3.53% reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Asset yields increased 3 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities remain unchanged.

• Noninterest income

Noninterest income was $3.43 million for the first quarter of 2014, a 19.4% improvement compared to the same quarter in 2013. Trust fees increased $151 thousand or 11% and service charges on deposit accounts also increased $99 thousand or 20%. The company also added $364 thousand in retirement plan consulting fees earned from the entity acquired in July 2013, National Associates, Inc.

• Cost saving initiatives

The Company underwent a cost reduction program in 2013 that included the closure of two retail branch locations and the elimination of several full time positions. In addition to the cost savings initiatives, the Company also made adjustments to the fee structure for its retail and commercial banking products and services. As a result of these actions, the Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 69.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, which compares favorably to the 72.57% reported in the first quarter in 2013.

2014 Outlook

Mr. Helmick continued: “Although loan production was moderate in the first quarter of 2014, we look forward to the ensuing quarters as the economic outlook begins to improve. We also continue our discipline of closely monitoring levels of non-interest expense while growing non-interest revenues.”
