FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS FOR 2003

Clearfield, Pennsylvania – July, 2003

 

CNB Financial Corporation, the parent company of County National Bank, today announced reported earnings of $2.3 million or $0.62 per share for the second quarter of 2003. This represents growth of 5.5% over the same period of 2002. Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $4.3 million or $1.17 per share, representing a 6.7% increase over the same period in 2002. The continued lowering of interest rates impacted the 2003 earnings. As a result, the net tax equivalent yield on earning assets has declined to 4.13% in 2003 compared to 4.25% through the second quarter of 2002.

 

“We are pleased to announce an increase in earnings for the second quarter and the first six months of 2003 which mainly can be attributed to a growth in assets as well as the introduction of new non-interest products,” stated William F. Falger, President and CEO of CNB Financial Corporation. “The opening of the CNB Insurance Agency in May has provided another source of non-interest revenue for the Corporation by being able to offer annuities which has proven to be desirable in our markets.”
