CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS FOR 2007

Clearfield, Pennsylvania – April 23, 2007

CNB Financial Corporation, the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced reported earnings of $1.9 million or $0.22 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $2.4 million or $0.27 diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 first quarter results represent a 21% decrease in earnings compared to the first quarter of 2006.

The decrease in earnings results primarily from a reduction in net security gains after tax of $213,000, along with increased operating costs. The increased operating costs, which primarily include salary, benefits and occupancy expenses, have been expected as the Corporation continues to grow ERIEBANK, a division of CNB Bank, and its consumer finance subsidiary, Holiday Financial Services Corporation.

William F. Falger, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Even though our earnings number is down compared to the prior year, I am encouraged by the opportunities we are creating with the growth initiatives that we have undertaken. Loan growth in all activities should create a positive earnings stream when combined with our strong net interest margin of 4.15% that should help offset the increased costs.”

(1) On April 18, 2006, the shareholders of the Corporation voted to change from $1.00 par value to no par stock. The change had no effect on the dollar amount of total shareholder’s equity and simply resulted in a reclassification between the common stock and additional paid in capital line items.
