ITHACA, Mich., Oct. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Commercial National Financial Corporation (Pink Sheets: CEFC) today announced third quarter 2022 net income of $1,601,000, or $.40 per share compared to third quarter 2021 net income of $1,478,000, or $.37 per share.

For the third quarter of 2022, net interest income increased $458,000, or 11.3% compared to the third quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher market interest rates and interest-earning assets. Total loans, excluding Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, increased $21.3 million, or 5.4% when comparing September 30, 2022 to September 30, 2021. Non-interest income increased by $35,000, or 5.8% primarily due to higher debit card interchange fees. Operating expenses increased by $138,000, or 4.4% primarily due to higher wages and benefits expense.
Total assets were $613.1 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $591.8 million at September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to core deposit growth, partially offset by lower wholesale borrowings. At September 30, 2022, PPP loans outstanding were approximately $1.0 million compared to $54.4 million at September 30, 2021.
