GETTYSBURG, PA, March 12— ACNB Corporation reported net income of $7,937,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, up 9% in comparison to $7,290,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Net income on a per share basis amounted to $1.32 for 2007 and $1.22 for 2006. All earnings per share were restated for the 5% common stock dividends distributed in December 2006 and 2007.

 

Total non-interest income in 2007 increased by $452,000, or 5%, over the year 2006. Higher revenues in the form of insurance commissions from Russell Insurance Group, Inc. and fee income from Adams County National Bank’s trust and retail operations contributed to this rise in non-interest income. Effective expense control resulted in total non-interest expense increasing by 1% for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Cash dividends paid to shareholders for 2007 totaled $4,566,000, or $.76 per share, as restated due to the 5% common stock dividend declared for shareholders of record as of November 30, 2007, and distributed on December 14, 2007.
