CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS FOR 2008

Clearfield, Pennsylvania – October 24, 2008

CNB Financial Corporation today announced earnings for the third quarter and year to date 2008. Diluted earnings per share were $0.04 in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to $0.28 for the third quarter of 2007. Net income was $372 thousand in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to $2.4 million for the same period of 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net income totaled $4.6 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.53, compared to $6.7 million of net income and $0.77 diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were 0.66% and 8.57%, respectively, compared to 1.12% and 12.54% for the same period of 2007.

William F. Falger, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented “The current economic crisis affected our financial performance during the quarter as we recorded charges against income resulting from our investments in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock and a corporate bond of Lehman Brothers.”

“However, we are continuing to experience strong performance from the core operations of our Company as reflected in year to date deposit growth of 22.5% and loan growth of 12.0%. Along with our balance sheet growth, we have experienced strong growth in net interest income year to date of $4.7 million, representing a 20.8% increase compared to 2007, as well as expansion of our net interest margin to 4.30% from 4.07% in 2007. Our focus in the near term is to maintain our strong credit quality as we move into what appears to be a recessionary period.”
