HILLSDALE, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CNB Community Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX: CNBB), the parent company of County National Bank (the “Bank”), today announced earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The decrease in net income was predominately the result of an increase in noninterest expense associated with compensation and benefits as well as occupancy and equipment; partially offset by an increase in net interest income as well as noninterest income driven by increases in Wealth Management and in Gain on sale of loans. Basic earnings per share for CNB Community Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) decreased to $1.55 during the three months ended September 30, 2025, down $0.04 from $1.59 for the third quarter of 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $8.8 million, which was down from the $9.1 million earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, predominately resultant from the same factors as those that impacted the third quarter variance in earnings.

Joseph R. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer of CNB Community Bancorp, Inc. and County National Bank, commented, “We just completed another tender offer for our shares as we continue to see value in buying CNB at the current market valuation. We purchased just over 56,000 shares at $44.09 while our tangible book value as of the end of the 3^rd quarter of this year was $51.36 per share. Furthermore, we were able to add some debt at the holding company that allowed us to downstream capital to our Bank for the purpose of leveraging more of our balance sheet with the purchase of some prudent investments, which we expect will contribute to CNB’s earnings in 2025 and beyond.”

“The actions we have taken are due, in part, to our continued success in growing our brand in all of our new and existing communities. Also, the Board of Directors, Advisory Boards, and Associates continue to support CNB through their guidance, work, and presence in all of our communities. I believe in these efforts and look forward to ending this year strongly while preparing for the exciting challenges of 2026.”
