Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LCNB Corp. reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $7.3 million, up 5.4% year over year, with diluted earnings per share of $0.51 versus $0.49. Net interest income was $19.7 million versus $18.1 million, and tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.92% versus 3.57%. For the first nine months, net income was $19.2 million versus $17.5 million and net interest income was $58.3 million versus $52.0 million.

At September 30, 2026, total assets were $2.28 billion, net loans were $1.70 billion and deposits were $1.88 billion. Deposits included the timing of a $50 million public-funds relationship; excluding that deposit, deposits would have declined approximately 0.9% year over year. LCNB paid a $0.22-per-share dividend for the quarter and completed its first $25 million subordinated debt offering.

Nine-month provision for credit losses was $3.1 million versus $426,000, and net charge-offs were $3.5 million versus $287,000. Nonperforming loans were $4.1 million, or 0.24% of total loans, at September 30, 2026, compared with $2.0 million, or 0.12%, a year earlier; the increase was primarily attributable to one commercial real estate loan. Third-quarter non-interest income was $5.3 million, down from $5.7 million.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

tangible book value per share financial
"Tangible book value per share increased 7.2% year-over-year"
Tangible book value per share is the company's total physical and financial assets minus its liabilities and intangible items (like goodwill and brand value), divided by the number of outstanding shares. It gives investors a conservative, per‑share estimate of what would remain if the business sold only its hard assets and paid its debts—useful for judging whether a stock is priced above or below its underlying, tangible worth, like valuing a property by its bricks and cash rather than its reputation.
net interest margin (tax equivalent) financial
"net interest margin (tax equivalent) for the nine-month period"
provision for credit losses financial
"recorded a total provision for credit losses of $3.1 million"
Provision for credit losses is an amount set aside by a financial institution to cover potential future losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution manage risks and stay financially healthy. For investors, it signals how cautious a lender is about potential loan defaults and can impact the company's profitability and financial stability.
net charge-offs financial
"Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $727,000"
Net charge-offs are the amount of loans or credit a lender removes from its books as uncollectible after subtracting any money later recovered from previously written-off accounts. Think of it like a store writing off unpaid tabs but getting back a few dollars later — the net figure shows the real loss. Investors watch this to judge a lender’s loan quality, future profits and how much capital may be needed to cover bad debts.
nonperforming loans financial
"Total nonperforming loans, which include nonaccrual loans"
Nonperforming loans are loans on which borrowers have stopped making the scheduled interest or principal payments for an extended period (commonly 90 days or more) or are otherwise in serious danger of default. Think of them as IOUs that aren’t being repaid: they tie up a lender’s money, reduce future interest income, and force the lender to hold extra reserves or take losses. For investors, a rising share of nonperforming loans signals weakening credit quality, higher potential losses, and greater risk to a bank’s profitability and capital.

LCNB CORP. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR

THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2026

 

Third quarter 2026 net income increased 5.4% year-over-year to $7.3 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, producing an ROAA of 1.29%

 

Net interest income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 increased 8.6% year-over-year to $19.7 million, supported by a net interest margin of 3.92%, a 35-basis point improvement over the prior year period 

 

Tangible book value per share increased 7.2% year-over-year to $13.02 per share at September 30, 2026

 

LEBANON, Ohio--LCNB Corp. ("LCNB") (NASDAQ: LCNB) today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

 

Commenting on the financial results, LCNB Chief Executive Officer, Eric Meilstrup said, “Our solid third quarter and year-to-date financial performance highlights the continued execution of balance sheet optimization and funding discipline strategies, which have contributed to a 108-basis-point improvement in net interest margin over the past two years, from 2.84% in the third quarter of 2024 to 3.92% in the third quarter of 2026, demonstrating the strengthening of our core earnings power. With much of this foundational work behind us, we are increasingly focused on translating our enhanced financial position and expanded capabilities into profitable organic growth. During the quarter, we completed our first $25 million subordinated debt offering, providing additional capital to support future growth and advance our expansion strategies.” 

 

Mr. Meilstrup continued, “We continue to enhance our platform, broaden our product offering, and pursue opportunities to deepen existing customer relationships while reaching more individuals and businesses throughout our Ohio markets. Wealth Management remains an important component of this strategy, as we establish new client relationships and focus on growing assets under management.  These efforts are positively impacting our financial performance, with fiduciary income increasing 12.7% year-over-year to $7.9 million for the first nine months of 2026.”

 

“Our balance sheet remains strong, supported by a stable, relationship-driven deposit base, solid capital and liquidity levels, disciplined lending, and sound asset quality. We remain focused on improving operating efficiency and leveraging the investments we have made in our franchise to drive sustainable earnings growth. As we look ahead, we believe our strengthened financial position and diversified revenue platform provide a solid foundation to deliver continued value to our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Meilstrup.

 

Income Statement

 

Net income for the 2026 third quarter was $7.3 million, compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2025. Earnings per basic and diluted share for the 2026 third quarter were $0.51, compared to $0.49 for the same period in 2025. Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, was $19.2 million, compared to $17.5 million for the same period last year. Earnings per basic and diluted share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, were $1.35, compared to $1.23 for the same period last year.

 

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2026, was $19.7 million, compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2025. Net interest income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, was $58.3 million, as compared to $52.0 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year growth in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, a reduction in interest-bearing liabilities, and an increase in the average yield on earnings assets. For the 2026 third quarter, LCNB’s tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.92%, compared to 3.57% for the same period in 2025. The net interest margin (tax equivalent) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, was 3.91%, as compared to 3.43% in the same period last year.

 

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2026, was $5.3 million, compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, non-interest income was $15.4 million, compared to $16.2 million for the same period last year. For both the 2026 third quarter and nine-month period, the decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to lower service charges and fees, and gains from sales of loans, partially offset by higher fiduciary income.

 

Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026, was $15.6 million, compared to $15.2 million for the same period in 2025.  The $0.4 million increase was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, and contracted services expenses, partially offset by lower net FDIC insurance premiums and marketing expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, non-interest expense was $0.6 million higher than the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, computer maintenance and supplies, and contracted services, partially offset by lower net FDIC insurance premiums, merger, marketing, and other operating expenses.

 

Capital Allocation

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, LCNB paid $0.22 per share in dividends. Year-to-date, LCNB has paid $0.66 per share in dividends.

 

Balance Sheet

 

Total assets at September 30, 2026, increased 1.7%, to $2.28 billion, from $2.24 billion at September 30, 2025. Net loans at September 30, 2026, were $1.70 billion, an increase of 2.2%, or $36.0 million, from September 30, 2025. During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, LCNB originated $141.0 million in loans and sold $18.4 million into the secondary market, which contributed $0.3 million of gains to third-quarter non-interest income, compared to $67.0 million in loans originated and $23.4 million of loans sold into the secondary market last year, which generated $0.7 million of gains and benefited third quarter 2025 non-interest income.

 

Loans held for sale totaled $2.8 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $4.0 million at September 30, 2025, and were primarily composed of loans scheduled to be sold to an investor.

 

Total deposits at September 30, 2026, increased 1.8%, to $1.88 billion, compared to $1.85 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the timing of a $50 million deposit from a public funds relationship. Excluding this deposit, total deposits would have decreased approximately 0.9% year-over-year.

 

At September 30, 2026, shareholders' equity was $282.2 million, compared to $269.9 million at September 30, 2025. On a per-share basis, shareholders' equity at September 30, 2026, was $19.79, compared to $19.02 at September 30, 2025.

 

At September 30, 2026, tangible shareholders' equity was $185.7 million, compared to $172.4 million at September 30, 2025. The 7.7% year-over-year increase in tangible shareholders' equity was primarily from higher retained earnings. On a per-share basis, tangible shareholders' equity was $13.02 at September 30, 2026, compared to $12.15 at September 30, 2025.

 

Assets Under Management

 

Total assets managed at September 30, 2026, were $4.24 billion, compared to $4.20 billion at September 30, 2025. The year-over-year increase in total assets managed was due to an increase in LCNB total assets and in the fair value of trust and investments and investment services partially offset by lower mortgage loans serviced and cash management. Trust and investments and brokerage accounts increased due to a higher number of new LCNB Wealth Management customer accounts and increases in the fair value of managed assets.

 

Asset Quality

 

For the 2026 third quarter, LCNB recorded a provision for credit losses of $453,000, compared to a provision for credit losses of $211,000 for the 2025 third quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, LCNB recorded a total provision for credit losses of $3.1 million, compared to a total provision for credit losses of $426,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $727,000, or 0.17% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $169,000, or 0.04% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the third quarter of 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net charge-offs were $3.5 million, or 0.27% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $287,000, or 0.02% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the same period in 2025.

 

Third-quarter 2026 net charge-offs were largely attributable to one participated loan relationship that represented most of the quarter's charge-offs. Because the credit had already been identified and substantially reserved, the charge-off had limited impact on third-quarter provision expense. The provision for credit losses reflected ongoing portfolio monitoring, changes in specific reserves for certain commercial relationships, and updated expected credit loss estimates.

 

Total nonperforming loans, which include nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were $4.1 million, or 0.24% of total loans, at September 30, 2026, compared to $2.0 million, or 0.12% of total loans, at September 30, 2025. The year‑over‑year increase in nonperforming loans was primarily attributable to the addition of one commercial real estate loan. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio was 0.18% at September 30, 2026, compared to 0.09% at September 30, 2025.
