    CLEARFIELD, Penn., Oct. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

    CNB Financial Corporation ("CNB" or the "Corporation") (NASDAQ: CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced its earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and disclosed quarterly growth in total deposits, loans, and assets.

    Executive Summary

    • Net income available to common shareholders ("earnings") was $12.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to earnings of $12.8 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The Corporation's earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $15.5 million, or $0.90 per diluted share. The decrease in diluted earnings per share comparing the quarter ended September 30, 2023 to the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to a seven basis point decrease in net interest margin coupled with an increase in salaries and benefits. The decrease in diluted earnings per share comparing the quarter ended September 30, 2023 to the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the year-over-year increase in deposit costs, as well as the dilutive effect of the Corporation's common stock offering completed in September 2022, resulting in the issuance of over 4.2 million shares of common stock or an increase of approximately 25% in total common shares outstanding. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Corporation repurchased 100,000 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $18.39, compared to 126,459 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $18.28 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and no repurchases of common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
    • Earnings were $40.8 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to earnings of $44.1 million, or $2.59 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As previously noted, the decrease in diluted earnings per share comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to both the rise in deposit costs year over year and to the dilutive effect of the Corporation's common stock offering. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Corporation repurchased 326,459 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $20.08, compared to 50,166 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $26.75 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
    • At September 30, 2023, total deposits were $5.0 billion, reflecting an increase of $69.7 million, or 1.4% (5.6% annualized), from June 30, 2023. The increase in deposit balances was primarily the result of continued growth in the Corporation's treasury management customer base and resulting increases in municipal and institutional/corporate deposits, including new wealth and asset management deposit relationships resulting from CNB's participation in deposit insurance sharing programs. In addition, the total number of deposit households increased by approximately 0.8% (3.2% annualized) during the same time period. Additional deposit and liquidity profile details were as follows:

      • At September 30, 2023, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.5 billion, or approximately 29.0% of total CNB Bank deposits; however, when excluding $101.1 million of affiliate company deposits and $440.3 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits was approximately $940.4 million, or approximately 18.4% of total CNB Bank deposits as of September 30, 2023.

        • At June 30, 2023, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.5 billion, or approximately 30.4% of total CNB Bank deposits; however, when excluding $99.0 million of affiliate company deposits and $448.7 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits was approximately $984.4 million, or approximately 19.6% of total CNB Bank deposits as of June 30, 2023.

      • At September 30, 2023, the average deposit balance per account for CNB Bank was approximately $33 thousand. In addition to the increasing number of treasury management customers, CNB Bank continues to increase small business and retail customer household deposits, including those added from the second quarter launches of (i) the U.S. service member and veteran families enrolling in CNB Bank's "At Ease" account, and (ii) CNB's women's banking division, Impressia Bank.

      • At September 30, 2023, the Corporation had $117.6 million of cash equivalents held in CNB Bank's interest-bearing deposit account at the Federal Reserve. These excess funds, when combined with (i) available borrowing capacity of approximately $3.6 billion from the Federal Home Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB") and Federal Reserve, and (ii) available unused commitments from brokered deposit sources, and other third-party funding channels, including previously established lines of credit from correspondent banks, the total on-hand and contingent liquidity sources for the Corporation represented 3.9 times the estimated amount of adjusted uninsured deposit balances as discussed above.
    • At September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Corporation had no outstanding short-term borrowings from the FHLB.

      • As of September 30, 2023, the Corporation did not have any borrowings from either the Federal Reserve's Discount Window or Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP"). CNB has added the BTFP as a potential contingent liquidity source but has not borrowed from the BTFP to date due to the stability and growth in CNB's deposit funding base.
    • At September 30, 2023, the Corporation's pre-tax net unrealized losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities totaled approximately $108.8 million, or 19.8% of total shareholders' equity, compared to $94.8 million, or 17.3% of total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2023. The change in unrealized losses was primarily due to higher interest rates along much of the yield curve relative to the Corporation's scheduled maturities. Importantly, all regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation would still exceed regulatory "well-capitalized" levels as of both September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 if the net unrealized losses at the respective dates were fully recognized. Additionally, the Corporation maintains $100.4 million of liquid funds at its holding company, which substantially covers the $108.8 million in unrealized losses on investments held primarily in its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, as an immediately available source of contingent capital to be down-streamed to CNB Bank if necessary.
    • At September 30, 2023, loans totaled $4.4 billion, excluding the balances of (i) syndicated loans, and (ii) any remaining balances on Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, net of PPP-related fees (such loans being referred to as the "PPP-related loans"). This adjusted total of $4.4 billion in loans represented an increase of $49.9 million, or 1.2% (4.6% annualized), from the same adjusted total loans measured as of June 30, 2023. Loan growth was experienced primarily in the Corporation's recent expansion markets of Cleveland, Roanoke, and Buffalo combined with growth in the portfolio related to CNB Bank's Private Banking division.

      • At September 30, 2023, the Corporation's balance sheet reflected a decrease in syndicated lending balances of $22.5 million compared to June 30, 2023. The syndicated loan portfolio totaled $123.1 million, or 2.7% of total loans, excluding PPP-related loans, at September 30, 2023, compared to $145.6 million, or 3.3% of total loans, excluding PPP-related loans, at June 30, 2023.
    • Total nonperforming assets were approximately $29.3 million, or 0.51% of total assets, as of September 30, 2023, compared to $24.1 million, or 0.43% of total assets, as of June 30, 2023, and $21.8 million, or 0.41% of total assets, as of September 30, 2022. The increase in nonperforming assets was due to one commercial real estate relationship consisting of two loans totaling $6.9 million placed on nonaccrual during the third quarter 2023. The two loans combined have a recorded specific loss reserve of approximately $491 thousand at September 30, 2023. While this loan relationship was placed on non-accrual status during the third quarter of 2023, based on collateral value support coupled with the specific reserve recorded against this loan relationship, management does not believe there is risk of significant additional loss exposure related to this loan relationship. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net loan charge-offs were $732 thousand, or 0.06% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $789 thousand, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, and $310 thousand, or 0.03% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
    • Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"), a non-GAAP measure, was $18.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $19.6 million and $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.1 The decrease in PPNR for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was driven primarily by a seven basis point decrease in net interest margin coupled with an increase in salaries and benefits. PPNR was $59.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $64.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.1 The decrease in PPNR for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily driven by growth in technology expenses due to investments in applications aimed at enhancing both customer relationship management and customer online experience applications, as well as expanding service delivery channels. In addition, the Corporation had a year-over-year decrease in non-interest income as a result of lower pass-through income from small business investment companies ("SBICs").

    1 This release contains references to certain financial measures that are not defined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section.

    Michael D. Peduzzi, President and CEO of both the Corporation and CNB Bank, stated, "Our results reflect the strength and stability of our financial position and earnings base, built from our deep customer relationships in our commercial, retail, wealth management, and treasury management divisions. Despite the headwinds of rising rates that impact both funding costs and new loan growth prospects, the resilience of our business development team has allowed us to find solutions for creditworthy customers to support continued growth in all of these business divisions, while maintaining the pricing and underwriting discipline needed in this current operating environment.

    At the same time, as we continue to pursue qualitative growth, particularly in our newer markets, we remain extremely cost-conscious as we look to effectively deploy our recent technology investments to provide for both more efficient delivery channels and increased staff productivity. In the first nine months of this year, we activated significant elements of our Customer Relationship Management and sales supportive systems, which have been helpful for all our divisions in connecting with both existing and prospective customers, contributing to our steady year-to-date growth. Though the sales-focused systems were originally projected to heavily support loan growth and increases in wealth management assets under management, the applications have been equally supportive in identifying new and expanded deposit relationships. To supplement how our new and existing deposit customers can reach us through their preferred delivery channels, we successfully completed the implementation of our digital new-account-opening module that allows both commercial and retail customers to open and fund deposit relationships, all online. We also have expanded our deployment of Enhanced Teller Machines, or ETMs, that dually serve as both traditional ATMs and as an electronic channel to connect to our live service agents at our Customer Service Center, which has expanded hours outside of the traditional business day. Additionally, we recently launched our women's banking division, Impressia Bank, in the largest of our markets, Columbus, Ohio, having already made similar launches in our Cleveland, Ohio and Erie, Pennsylvania markets. We continue to see very positive leads and momentum in Impressia's early stages, particularly in connecting with women-owned small businesses. We are confident that all of these recent technology and new business development investments will position us well for more efficient growth and expanded customer service capabilities for the longer term.

    Our asset quality remains sound and is supported by our strict adherence to our traditionally conservative underwriting policy and concentration limits. We have established and actively employ stress testing risk management activities to avoid undue adverse exposure to more economic-sensitive segments, including the various commercial real estate market segments. We have also found these stress evaluation measures to be valuable to customers who seek to carefully but successfully manage their operations in the rising rate and inflationary environment.

    Our capital levels remain very sound, and we continue to both expand our liquidity resources and reduce the percentage of uninsured deposits by helping more larger deposit account customers take advantage of insured deposit programs.

    We remain committed to our strategic initiatives to maintain a very strong and disciplined capital and asset-liability management profile, and thorough and continuous risk management activities, while expanding our market presence, continuing to grow our funding base at a reasonable cost, expanding our fee-based relationships and revenue sources, and controlling our overhead."

    Other Balance Sheet Highlights

    • Book value per common share was $23.52 at September 30, 2023, reflecting an increase from $23.42 and $21.70 at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP measure, was $21.40 as of September 30, 2023, also reflecting an increase from $21.32 and $19.61 as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.1 The changes in book value per common share and tangible book value per common share compared to June 30, 2023 were primarily due to a $9.0 million increase in retained earnings and the repurchase of 100,000 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $18.39, partially offset by a $7.9 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss primarily from the after-tax impact of temporary unrealized valuation changes in the Corporation's available-for-sale investment portfolio. The unrealized valuation changes in the Corporation's investments were not related to new purchases or credit-related issues, but to further temporary declines in fixed-income investment securities resulting from the market yield curve changes relative to the scheduled maturities of the Corporation's holdings.

    Loan Portfolio Profile

    • As part of our lending policy and risk management activities, the Corporation tracks lending exposure by industry classification and type to determine potential risks associated with industry concentrations, and if any risk issues could lead to additional credit loss exposure. In the current post-pandemic economic environment, the Corporation has determined that office commercial real estate ("commercial office") inherently could pose a higher level of credit risk, even given the historical high credit quality ratings and structures applied to the deals when initially underwritten and funding or commitments were made. The Corporation monitors numerous relevant sensitivity elements at both underwriting and through and beyond the funding period, including projects occupancy, loan-to-value, absorption and cap rates, debt service coverage and covenant compliance, and developer/lessor financial strength both in the project and globally.
    • At September 30, 2023, the Corporation had the following key metrics related to its commercial office portfolio: 

      • Commercial office loans outstanding consisted of 120 loans, totaling $115.7 million, or 2.6%, of total loans outstanding;
      • Nonaccrual commercial office loans (two customer relationships) totaled $1.1 million, or 1.0% of total office loans outstanding. The two customer relationships combined have a recorded specific loss reserve of approximately $817 thousand, at September 30, 2023; and
      • The average outstanding balance per commercial office loan is $964 thousand.

    The Corporation had no commercial office loan relationships considered by the banking regulators to be a high volatility commercial real estate credit.

    Performance Ratios

    • Annualized return on average equity was 9.80% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 10.07% and 14.97% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Annualized return on average equity was 10.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 14.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
    • Annualized return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, was 11.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 11.40% and 18.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.1 Annualized return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, was 12.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 17.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.1
    • While the previously discussed common equity capital raise completed in September 2022 significantly enhanced the Corporation's overall capital position, it also adversely impacted certain equity and per-share performance ratios for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 and the related comparison to September 30, 2022.
    • The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 67.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 64.78% and 62.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP ratio, was 66.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 64.10% and 61.95% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.1 The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2023 was, as previously discussed, primarily the result of rising deposits costs further contributing to a seven basis point decrease in net interest margin coupled with an increase in salaries and benefits. The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 64.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 61.12% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP ratio, was 63.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 60.68% the nine months ended September 30, 2022.1

    Revenue

    • Total revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income) was $55.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $55.6 million and $57.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

      • Net interest income was $47.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $47.3 million and $49.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. When comparing the third quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2022, the decrease in net interest income of $2.7 million, or 5.4%, was primarily due to an increase in the Corporation's interest expense as a result of targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases to ensure both deposit relationship retention, and new deposit growth in recently entered expansion markets.

      • Net interest margin was 3.55%, 3.62% and 4.03% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.53%, 3.60% and 4.02%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.1
        • The yield on earning assets of 5.63% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased 13 basis points and 118 basis points from June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of loan growth and the net benefit of higher interest rates on both variable-rate loans and new loan production.

        • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 2.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased 26 basis points and 210 basis points from June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of the Corporation's targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases in response to the competitive environment from numerous Fed rate hikes over the past year, and deposit retention and growth initiatives.
    • Total revenue was $166.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $164.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

      • Net interest income was $142.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $138.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $3.3 million, or 2.4%, was due to loan growth and the benefits of the impact of rising interest rates resulting in greater income on variable-rate loans and new loan production, partially offset by an increase in the Corporation's interest expense as a result of both (i) targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases to ensure both deposit growth and retention, and (ii) a year-over-year increase in the average balance of short-term borrowings through the FHLB.

      • Net interest margin was 3.66% and 3.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.64% and 3.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.1
        • The yield on earning assets of 5.48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 140 basis points from September 30, 2022, primarily as a result of loan growth and the net benefit of higher interest rates on both variable-rate loans and new loan production.

        • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 2.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 192 basis points from September 30, 2022, primarily as a result of the Corporation's targeted interest-bearing deposit rate increases and some costs of occasional short-term borrowings through the FHLB in 2023.
    • Total non-interest income was $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $8.3 million and $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, notable changes compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the three months ended September 30, 2022, included a decrease in other service charges and fees, partially offset by higher other non-interest income driven by gains on recovery from acquired loans.
    • Total non-interest income was $24.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Wealth and Asset Management fees increased $111 thousand, or 2.0%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as the Corporation benefited from an increased number of wealth management relationships. Other notable changes compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included lower net realized gains on the sale of available-for-sale debt securities, lower mortgage banking income from reduced mortgage loan production volume in the higher-rate environment, lower level of bank owned life insurance income and pass-through income from small business investment companies, partially offset by an increase in card processing and interchange income and a favorable variance in unrealized losses on equity securities.

    Non-Interest Expense

    • For the three months ended September 30, 2023, total non-interest expense was $36.9 million, compared to $36.0 million and $36.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The increase of $926 thousand, or 2.6%, from the three months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily a result of an increase in salaries and benefits.
    • For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, total non-interest expense was $106.9 million, compared to $100.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $6.3 million, or 6.3%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily a result of higher technology expenses, combined with higher card processing and interchange expenses. In addition, other non-interest expenses increased primarily due to business generation related expenses and consulting fees.

    Income Taxes

    • Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $3.4 million, representing a 19.9% effective tax rate, compared to $3.3 million, representing a 19.4% effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $4.1 million, representing a 19.6% effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Income tax expense was $10.6 million, representing a 19.5% effective tax rate, compared to $11.0 million, representing a 18.9% effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

    Asset Quality

    • Total nonperforming assets were approximately $29.3 million, or 0.51% of total assets, as of September 30, 2023, compared to $24.1 million, or 0.43% of total assets, as of June 30, 2023, and $21.8 million, or 0.41% of total assets, as of September 30, 2022. As previously discussed, the increase in nonperforming assets was due to one commercial real estate relationship consisting of two loans totaling $6.9 million that were placed on nonaccrual in the third quarter 2023. Though the two loans have collateral support covering most of the outstanding principal balance, the Corporation recorded a combined specific reserve of approximately $491 thousand on the relationship at September 30, 2023.
    • The allowance for credit losses measured as a percentage of total loans was 1.02% as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, and 1.03% as of September 30, 2022. In addition, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was 169.34% as of September 30, 2023, compared to 215.06% and 211.55% as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
    • The provision for credit losses was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Included in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was a $33 thousand expense related to the allowance for unfunded commitments compared to $56 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $55 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The $1.3 million decrease in the provision expense for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily a result of lower loan portfolio growth in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2023.
    • The provision for credit losses was $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Included in the provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $148 thousand expense related to the allowance for unfunded commitments compared to $641 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $888 thousand reduction in the provision expense for the first nine months of 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily a result of the relatively lower loan portfolio growth in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the first nine months of 2022.
    • For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net loan charge-offs were $732 thousand, or 0.06% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $789 thousand, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, and $310 thousand, or 0.03% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
    • For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net loan charge-offs were $2.2 million, or 0.07% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $1.3 million, or 0.05% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

    • As of September 30, 2023, the Corporation's total shareholders' equity was $549.2 million, representing a decrease of $422 thousand, or 0.1%, from June 30, 2023, primarily due to the additional accumulated other comprehensive losses during the quarter resulting primarily from (i) the after-tax impact of the temporary unrealized reduction in the value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio, and (ii) an increase in the Corporation's treasury stock as a result of the Corporation's repurchase of 100,000 of its common shares during the third quarter 2023. This decrease was partially offset by the increase in the Corporation's retained earnings (quarterly net income, partially offset by the common and preferred dividends paid in the quarter).
    • Regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation continue to exceed regulatory "well-capitalized" levels as of September 30, 2023, consistent with prior periods.
    • As of September 30, 2023, the Corporation's ratio of common shareholders' equity to total assets was 8.57% compared to 8.68% at June 30, 2023 and 8.62% at September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the Corporation's ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP measure, was 7.86% compared to 7.97% at June 30, 2023 and 7.85% as of September 30, 2022. This decrease compared to June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, was the result of an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss and an increase in treasury stock from repurchase activities, partially offset by the increase in retained earnings.1

    Consolidated Financial Data Notes:     
    (1) Management uses non-GAAP financial information in its analysis of the Corporation's performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. The Corporation's management believes that investors may use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the Corporation's financial performance without the impact of unusual items or events that may obscure trends in the Corporation's underlying performance. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per share data).
    (2) Capital ratios as of September 30, 2023 are estimated pending final regulatory filings.
