Commercial National Financial Corporation Reports 2nd Quarter 2019 Earnings
ITHACA, Mich., July 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Commercial National Financial Corporation (Pink Sheets: CEFC) today announced second quarter 2019 net income of $1,123,000, or $.28 per share compared to second quarter 2018 net income of $1,185,000, or $.30 per share. Return on Equity (ROE) was 12.32% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to 14.17% for the second quarter of 2018.
Total assets were $520.1 million at June 30, 2019 compared to $507.4 million at June 30, 2018. Total loans of $376.3 million decreased $2.9 million, or .8% year over year. The lending environment remains very competitive in our markets and we experienced several large commercial loan payoffs during the past twelve months. However, our loan pipeline is growing and we expect commercial and construction loan closings to increase loan balances during the second half of 2019.
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, net interest income increased $25,000, or .7%. During the next several quarters, we intend to use excess cash to reduce higher interest rate wholesale borrowings. Non-interest income rose by $18,000, or 3.8% due to increased loan fees. Operating expenses increased by $117,000, or 4.5% primarily due to higher wages and benefits expense and professional fees.
Commercial National Financial Corporation operates through a single subsidiary bank, Commercial Bank. Visit to view the latest consolidated Annual Report, news releases and other information about CEFC and Commercial Bank.
