QNB Corp. Reports Earnings for Second Quarter 2024
QUAKERTOWN, Pa., July 23, 2024 (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 second quarter of 2024 of $2,465,000, or $0.67 per share on a diluted basis. This compares to net income of $1,887,000, or $0.52 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, QNB reported net income of $5,059,000, or $1.38 per share on a diluted basis. This compares to net income of $6,005,000, or $1.67 per share on a diluted basis, reported for the same period in 2023.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the annualized rate of return on average assets and average shareholders’ equity was 0.55% and 6.14%, respectively, compared with 0.44% and 4.90%, respectively, for the second quarter 2023.
The operating performance of the Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QNB Corp., improved for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, in comparison with the same period in 2023, due primarily to improvement in the interest margin causing a $1,246,000 increase in net interest income, decreased provision for credit losses on loans and unfunded commitments of $95,000; and an increase in non-interest income of $172,000; this was partly offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $479,000. The change in contribution from QNB Corp. for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared with the same period in 2023, is primarily due to less gains on sales from the equities portfolio held at the holding company.

Total assets as of June 30, 2024 were $1,761,487,000 compared with $1,706,318,000 at December 31, 2023. Total available-for-sale debt securities decreased $29,763,000, or 6.1%, to $460,418,000, primarily due to sales of lower yielding securities and payments. Loans receivable increased $68,777,000, or 6.3%, to $1,162,310. Total deposits increased $84,126,000, or 5.7%, to $1,572,839,000. Short-term borrowing declined $45,028,000, or 47.9%.
“I am pleased with the improved operating performance of the bank; we registered the highest quarterly net interest income since 2022, stated David W. Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Freeman continued, “We believe we have reached an equilibrium in deposit rates offered, and as our floating rate loans continue to reprice at higher rates, we will benefit from this trend.” Freeman stated, “We continue to see good deposit and loan growth, which points to our stable market area and customer base. Last, we took the strategic opportunity to better position our Company’s future earnings by selling lower-yielding securities in the quarter at a $1,096,000 loss and reinvesting the proceeds in higher-yielding assets. The loss was offset by an unrealized gain of $1,354,000 million for the exchange of Visa C-shares.”
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 totaled $10,592,000, an increase of $1,259,000, from the same period in 2023. Net interest margin was 2.46% for the second quarter of 2024 and 2.27% for the same period in 2023. Net interest margin was 2.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with 2.41% for the same period in 2023.
The yield on earning assets was 4.70% for the second quarter 2024, compared with 3.83% in the second quarter of 2023; an increase of 87 basis points. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, yield on earning assets was 4.64%, compared with 3.80% for the same period in 2022. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.73% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared with 1.96% for the same period in 2023, an increase of 77 basis points. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.70% compared with 1.75% for the same period in 2023,
Proceeds from the growth in average deposits and proceeds from the sale and payments received on investment securities over the past year were invested in loans and other interest earning assets, and used to pay down short-term borrowings. Loan growth was primarily in commercial real estate, which comprised 46% of average earning assets in the second quarter of 2024 compared with 42% for the same period in 2023, and the increases in both rates and volume in commercial real estate loans majorly contributed to the 62 basis-point increase in the yield on loans. The decline in the available-for-sale portfolio was primarily in mortgage-backed securities, which comprised 20% of average earnings assets in the second quarter of 2024 compared with 24% for the same period in 2023. The 88-basis point increase in rate on investments was primarily due to the impact of the interest rate swaps entered into at the end of the second quarter of 2023, contributing to the increase in net interest margin. The 90 basis-point increase in the rate paid on deposits was the primary contributor to the increase in the cost of funds of 77 basis points.
Asset Quality, Provision for Credit Losses on Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses
QNB recorded $132,000 in provision for credit losses on loans in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $212,000 in provision in the second quarter of 2023. QNB’s allowance for credit losses on loans of $8,858,000 represents 0.76% of loans receivable at June 30, 2024, compared to $8,852,000, or 0.81% of loans receivable at December 31, 2023. Net loan charge-offs were $12,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared with $38,000 for the same period in 2023. Annualized net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were 0.00% and 0.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, of average loans receivable, respectively.

The increase was primarily to two commercial relationships being downgraded to the Bank’s “Special Mention” risk category.

Retail brokerage and advisory income decreased $76,000 to $126,000 for the same period, due to a decrease in customer balances following employee turnover. Merchant fees decreased $23,000 for the same period due to volume.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, non-interest income was $3,301,000 an increase of $502,000 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the change in fair value of the equities portfolio of $1,502,000; primarily related to the Visa stock conversion discussed above. Realized loss on sale of securities was $719,000, a decline of $773,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with the same period in 2023.

Other non-interest income decreased $22,000 due primarily to mortgage servicing fees and letter of credit fees.
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense was $8,934,000 for the second quarter of 2024 compared with $8,492,000 for the same period in 2023.

Benefits expense increased $145,000, or 18.2%, when comparing the two periods primarily due to medical costs.
Net occupancy and furniture and equipment expense increased $14,000, or 1.0%, to $1,481,000 for the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to software maintenance costs partly offset by a reduction in depreciation expense. Other non-interest expense increased $165,000, or 7.3%, when comparing second quarter of 2024 with the same period in 2023 due to an increase in Bank shares tax of $156,000, due to the timing of tax credits received, the recording of a potential expense of $85,000 related to the Visa stock exchange make-whole agreement, an increase of $67,000 in debit card expense, an increase in FDIC insurance of $46,000, an increase in third-party services of $25,000, partly offset by decreases in telephone, postage and supplies of $10,000, an increase in marketing expense of $31,000 and a reduction in write-offs due to fraud on customer accounts of $146,000 as the Bank was able to recover some losses from prior periods.
