FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
QNB CORP. REPORTS
EARNINGS FOR FOURTH QUARTER 2024
QUAKERTOWN, PA (January 21, 2025) QNB Corp. (the “Company” or “QNB”) (OTC Bulletin Board: QNBC), the parent company of QNB Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 of $3,051,000, or $0.83 per share on a diluted basis. This compares to net income of $1,134,000, or $0.31 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2023. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, QNB reported net income of $11,488,000, or $3.12 per share on a diluted basis. This compares to net income of $9,483,000, or $2.63 per share on a diluted basis, reported for the same period in 2023.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, the annualized rate of return on average assets and average shareholders’ equity was 0.61% and 7.36%, respectively, compared with 0.25% and 2.83%, respectively, for the fourth quarter 2023.
The operating performance of the Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QNB Corp., improved for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, in comparison with the same period in 2023, due primarily to improvement in the interest margin causing a $1,621,000 increase in net interest income, decreased provision for credit losses on loans and unfunded commitments of $548,000 and an increase in non-interest income of $1,814,000; this was partly offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $303,000. The change in contribution from QNB Corp. for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared with the same period in 2023, is primarily due to a decrease in net interest income of $838,000, related to the subordinated debt issuance in 2024, and fewer unrealized gains on the equity portfolio; partly offset by less losses on sales of equity securities.

Total assets as of December 31, 2024 were $1,870,894,000 compared with $1,706,318,000 at December 31, 2023. Total available-for-sale debt securities increased $56,378,000, or 11.5%, to
$546,559,000, primarily due to purchases of higher-yielding securities to offset the cost of the $40,000,000 of subordinated debt issued in the third quarter of 2024. Loans receivable increased $122,515,000, or 11.2%, to $1,216,048,000. Total deposits increased $139,828,000, or 9.4%, to $1,628,541,000. Short-term borrowing declined $50,250,000, or 53.4%. Long term debt increased $20,000,000 and the carrying value of the subordinated debt, net of deferred costs, was $39,068,000 at December 31, 2024.
“We are pleased with the strong growth and quality of our business throughout 2024, resulting in a $1.9 million increase in earnings vs. the prior year,” said David W. Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Freeman continued, “Assets increased by 9.6% during the year, driven by growth in our loan portfolio. Although deposit growth slowed in the 4th quarter, we finished the year with an increase of 9.4% in deposits over the prior year. We are focused on top-line growth, prudent use of capital, and managing our balance sheet. As a result of disciplined management, we continued to realize improvement in Net Interest Income. We will continue to capitalize on market opportunities and are optimistic moving into 2025.”
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 totaled $10,975,000, an increase of $783,000, from the same period in 2023. Net interest margin was 2.38% for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2.36% for the same period in 2023. Net interest margin was 2.43% for the twelve months ended December 30, 2024, compared with 2.39% for the same period in 2023.
The yield on earning assets was 4.78% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with 4.44% in the fourth quarter of 2023; an increase of 34 basis points. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, the yield on earning assets was 4.73%, compared with 4.09% for the same period in 2023. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.91% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared with 2.55% for the same period in 2023, an increase of 36 basis points. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.80% compared with 2.11% for the same period in 2023.
Proceeds from the growth in average deposits, paydowns on investment securities and from the issuance of both long-term and subordinated debt over the past year were invested in loans and other interest earning assets, reinvested in higher-yielding securities and used to pay down short-term borrowings. Loan growth was primarily in commercial real estate, which comprised 45% of average earning assets in the twelve months 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 50 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 twelve months of 2024 compared with 23% for the same period in 2023. The 57-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 and the investment in higher-yielding securities, contributing to the increase in net interest margin. The 70 basis-point increase in the rate paid on deposits and the issuance of subordinated debt were the primary contributors to the increase in the cost of funds of 69 basis points.
Asset Quality, Provision for Credit Losses on Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses
QNB recorded a $242,000 reversal in the provision for credit losses on loans in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $291,000 in additional provision in the fourth quarter of 2023. QNB's allowance
for credit losses on loans of $8,744,000 represents 0.72% of loans receivable at December 31, 2024, compared to $8,852,000, or 0.81% of loans receivable at December 31, 2023. The nine basis point decrease in the allowance for credit losses on loans was primarily due to improvements in the economic outlook. Net loan charge-offs were $1,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared with recoveries of $19,000 for the same period in 2023. Annualized net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 were 0.00% and annualized net loan recoveries were 0.01% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, of average loans receivable, respectively. Net loan charge-offs of $59,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared with recoveries of $238,000 for the same period in 2023, were primarily due to two large commercial customers. Annualized net loan charge-offs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 were 0.01%, compared to annualized net loan recoveries of 0.02% for the same period in 2023, of average loans receivable, respectively.
Total non-performing loans, which represent loans on non-accrual status and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were $1,975,000, or 0.16% of loans receivable at December 31, 2024, compared with $1,940,000, or 0.18% of loans receivable at December 31, 2023. In cases where there is a collateral shortfall on non-accrual loans, specific reserves have been established based on updated collateral values even if the borrower continues to pay in accordance with the terms of the agreement. At December 31, 2024, $1,178,000, or approximately 60% of the loans classified as non-accrual, are current or past due less than 30 days. Commercial loans classified as substandard or doubtful loans totaled $27,652,000 at December 31, 2024, compared with $11,610,000 at December 31, 2023; these were comprised primarily of commercial real estate loans.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income was $1,645,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with $283,000 for the same period in 2023. Net realized and unrealized gain/loss on securities were a net gain of $70,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared to a net loss of $1,358,000 in the same period in 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2024, QNB sold all remaining equity securities and reversed the unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and recorded realized gains and losses on sales. The Bank also sold lower yielding securities to better position its net interest margin.
Fees for service to customers increased $40,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, as overdraft fees increased $20,000 and other deposit-related fees increased $20,000. ATM and debit card increased $21,000 due to volume. Retail brokerage and advisory income decreased $89,000 to $118,000 for the same period, due to a decrease in customer balances following employee turnover. Other non-interest income decreased $24,000 for the same period due to a decline in merchant fee income of $14,000 and less letter of credit fees of $9,000.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, non-interest income was $6,913,000, an increase of $2,076,000 compared to the same period in 2023. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities were a net gain of $704,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a net loss of $1,827,000 in the same period in 2023. QNB completed the exchange offer to convert the Bank's Visa B-1 shares to B-2 and C shares in the second quarter of 2024; QNB sold the Visa Class C shares in the fourth quarter of 2024 and realized a gain of $1,498,000. QNB sold its other equity securities and realized a gain of $517,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to a loss of $19,000 for the same period of 2023. Realized gain/loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities was a loss of $2,230,000, a decline of $172,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared with the same period in 2023. Net gain on sale of loans increased $13,000 when
comparing the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 with the same period in 2023. Increases in non-interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 comprise: fees for services to customers which increased $119,000 and ATM and debit card income of $5,000. Decreases in non-interest income comprised: retail brokerage and advisory income, merchant income, and other which decreased $386,000, $46,000 and $206,000, respectively. Other non-interest income decreased the $206,000 due primarily to a sales tax refund of $117,000 received in 2023, losses on disposals of furniture and equipment, mortgage servicing fees and letter of credit fees.
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense was $9,081,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with $8,746,000 for the same period in 2023. Salaries and benefits expense increased $362,000, or 7.7%, to $5,079,000 when comparing the two quarters. Salary expense and related payroll taxes increased $518,000, or 13.2%, to $4,430,000 during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to bonuses related to financial goal improvement. Benefits expense decreased $165,000, or 37.1%, when comparing the two periods primarily due to a reduction in medical costs and stop-loss reimbursements.
Net occupancy and furniture and equipment expense increased $176,000, or 11.9%, to $1,653,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to software maintenance costs and depreciation. Other non-interest expense decreased $203,000, or 8.0%, when comparing fourth quarter of 2024 with the same period in 2023 due to a decrease in write-offs relating to fraud on customer accounts of $215,000 and a decrease in FDIC insurance of $185,000, partly offset by increases in marketing expense of $67,000, third-party service expenses of $64,000, and debit card expense of $63,000.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, non-interest expense was $35,484,000, an increase of $1,375,000, or 4.0%, compared to the same period in 2024.
Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $441,000 to $743,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to increased pre-tax income, compared with the same period in 2023. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was 19.6% compared with 21.0% for the same period in 2023.
