QUAKERTOWN, Pa., Oct. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — QNB Corp. (the “Company” or “QNB”) (OTC Bulletin Board: QNBC), the parent company of QNB Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the third quarter of 2023 of $2,344,000, or $0.65 per share on a diluted basis. This compares to net income of $3,415,000, or $0.96 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, QNB reported net income of $8,349,000, or $2.32 per share on a diluted basis. This compares to net income of $10,474,000, or $2.94 per share on a diluted basis, reported for the same period in 2022.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the annualized rate of return on average assets and average shareholders’ equity was 0.52% and 5.88%, respectively, compared with 0.78% and 9.20%, respectively, for the third quarter 2022.
The operating performance of the Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QNB Corp., declined for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, in comparison with the same period in 2022 due to interest margin compression causing a $1,221,000 decline in net interest income, additional provision for credit losses on loans and commitments of $459,000 and an increase in non-interest expense of $832,000. The change in contribution from QNB Corp. for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, is primarily due to the change in fair value of the equities portfolio held at the holding company.

Total assets as of September 30, 2023 were $1,684,392,000 compared with $1,668,497,000 at December 31, 2022. Total available-for-sale debt securities decreased $41,135,000, or 7.5%, to $505,390,000, primarily due to calls, maturities and paydowns. Loans receivable increased $21,065,000 to approximately $1,060,450,000, or 2.0%. Total deposits increased $64,964,000 to $1,483,333,000. Short-term borrowing declined $64,624,000, or 40.1%.
“The economy continues to be resilient even with continued rate hikes causing margin compression from our rapid repricing of deposits and slower repricing of loans. This, coupled with changes in the fair value of our holding company’s equities portfolio, directly impacted our third-quarter financial results,” stated David W. Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Freeman continued, “The good news is that the hedging contracts we entered have helped mitigate the impact of increased interest rates and will continue to provide support in a rising rate environment. Additionally, we have experienced stable deposit growth and have significantly reduced our short-term borrowing positions. While our assets are flat, indicative of business and consumer pullback, our loan quality remains strong.”
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $10,213,000 and $29,963,000 respectively, a decrease of $1,166,000 and $3,255,000, respectively, from the same periods in 2022. Net interest margin was 2.38% for the third quarter of 2023 and 2.72% for the same period in 2022. Net interest margin was 2.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with 2.72% for the same period in 2022.
The yield on earning assets was 4.28% for the third quarter 2023, compared with 3.23% in the third quarter of 2022. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, yield on earning assets was 3.97%, compared with 3.08% for the same period in 2022. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.35% for the quarter and 1.96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with 0.65% and 0.46% for the same periods in 2022, respectively.
Proceeds from average short-term borrowings and payments received on investment securities over the past year were invested in loans. Loan growth was primarily in commercial real estate, which comprised 41% of average earning assets in the nine months of 2023 compared with 38% for the same period in 2022, and the increases in rates on both the commercial real estate loans and the commercial and industrial loans majorly contributed to the 103 basis-point increase in the yield on loans. The decline in the available-for-sale portfolio was primarily in mortgage-backed securities, which comprised 24% of average earnings assets in the nine months of 2023 compared with 27% for the same period in 2022. The 140 basis-point increase in the rate paid on deposits and the 241 basis-point increase in the rate on short-term borrowing were the primary contributors to the increase in the cost of funds of 150 basis points, contributing to the decrease in net interest margin.
