DUNMORE, Pa., Jan. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FNCB Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FNCB; www.fncb.com), the parent company of Dunmore-based FNCB Bank (the “Bank” and collectively, “FNCB”) today reported net income of $13.0 million, or $0.66 per diluted shares, for 2023, compared to $20.4 million or $1.03 per diluted share, for 2022. The 36.5% reduction in net income was primarily due to a $6.1 million decrease in net interest income, which largely reflected higher deposit costs and greater utilization of wholesale funds. Also impacting year-to-date net income was a $1.3 million decrease in non-interest income and a $1.4 million increase in non-interest expense. These reductions to earnings were partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in income tax expense. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, net income was $3.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 31.8%, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share for the same three-month period of 2022. Similar to the year-to-date period, reductions in net interest income and non-interest income, coupled with an increase in non-interest expenses, were the primary factors leading to the reduction in fourth quarter 2023 earnings.

DUNMORE, Pa., Jan. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On January 24, 2024, the Board of Directors of FNCB Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:FNCB) declared a dividend of $0.09 per share for the first quarter of 2024. The first quarter 2024 dividend is payable on March 15, 2024 to shareholders of record as of March 1, 2024. The first quarter 2024 dividend is unchanged from the dividend of $0.09 per share declared for the first quarter of 2023.

A 5.8% dividend yield, but is likely to trade sideways until the overall macro environment improves for banks. Q3 earnings showed a decline in net income as we wait for a pending merger. Loans and deposits grew, but margins were crushed due to higher rates, leading to compressed margins. Return metrics and asset quality metrics are mixed.
