FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FNCB Bancorp, Inc. Announces

13% Increase in Third Quarter 2017 Earnings and 31% Increase in 2017 Year-to-Date Earnings

Dunmore, Pa., November 7, 2017/Globe Newswire/—FNCB Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX: FNCB), the parent company of Dunmore-based FNCB Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $2.272 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $255 thousand, or 12.6%, compared to net income of $2.017 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for the same quarter of 2016. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $1.5 million, or 30.8%, to $6.3 million, or $0.37 per basic and diluted share, from $4.8 million, or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable nine-month period of 2016. The favorable variances in third quarter and year-to-date earnings were largely due to improved net interest income and non-interest income, coupled with a reduction in non-interest expense. Annualized return on average assets was 0.80% and 0.74%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 0.73% and 0.58%, for the respective periods of 2016. Annualized return on average equity was 9.27% and 8.87%, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, compared to 8.46% and 6.95%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2016. Dividends declared and paid were $0.03 per share for the third quarter of 2017 and $0.09 per share for the year-to-date period of 2017, which represented a 50.0% increase compared to $0.02 per share and $0.06 per share, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Year-to-date dividends declared and paid represented a 1.6% annualized return to shareholders based on the closing stock price of $7.57 per share at September 30, 2017.

Performance Highlights:

“Our strong third quarter performance reflected solid, organic loan and deposit growth, improved earning asset yields and a continued focus on improving efficiency and maintaining stable non-interest expense levels,” stated Gerard A. Champi, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Also in the third quarter, we were pleased to welcome three new members to the boards of directors of both FNCB and the Bank. The new directors, all accomplished leaders among their respective industries and the communities we serve, will add great value and support to our organization in executing our strategic objectives,” concluded Mr. Champi.

Summary Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Tax-equivalent net interest income improved $0.6 million, or 7.9%, to $8.5 million for the third quarter of 2017, from $7.9 million for the same quarter of 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $1.4 million, or 5.9%, to $24.8 million, compared to $23.4 million for the same nine months of 2016. The improvement for both the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily reflected higher yields earned on and growth in average earning assets, coupled with reduced reliance on borrowed funds, partially offset by higher funding costs. Tax-equivalent earning asset yields improved 19 basis points for the third quarter and 8 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 over the same periods of 2016. Average earning assets grew $36.8 million, or 3.7%, and $41.1 million, or 4.1%, comparing the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Strong growth in lower-costing interest-bearing demand and savings accounts resulted in reduced reliance on higher-costing Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) advances, which provided for relatively stable funding costs despite upward movements in short-term interest rates. Comparing the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, average interest-bearing deposits increased $55.2 million, or 7.5%, while average borrowed funds decreased $30.7 million, or 29.5%. For the nine months ended September 30, interest-bearing deposits averaged $794.7 million in 2017, an increase of $65.2 million, or 8.9%, compared to $729.5 million in 2016. Conversely, borrowed funds averaged $74.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $36.9 million, or 33.1%, from $111.5 million averaged for the same period of 2016. Comparing the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, FNCB’s cost of funds increased 7 basis points and 3 basis points, respectively. The tax-equivalent net interest margin improved 13 basis points to 3.27% for the third quarter of 2017 from 3.14% for the same quarter 2016. In addition, the third quarter 2017 margin was a 6-basis point improvement from 3.21% for the second quarter of 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 the tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.18%, a 5-basis point improvement compared to 3.13% for the same nine months of 2016.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, non-interest income increased $0.3 million, or 24.2%, and $0.5 million, or 10.4%, compared to the respective periods of 2016. The improvement in both the quarter and year-to-date periods resulted primarily from increases in net gains realized on the sale of available-for-sale securities.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, non-interest expense totaled $6.4 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2.4%, from $6.6 million for the same three months of 2016. The decrease in non-interest expense comparing the quarterly periods reflected a decrease in rent expense associated with long-term facilities planning, coupled with reductions in legal, regulatory, and advertising expenses and other losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, non-interest expense decreased $0.1 million, or 0.6%, compared to the same year-to-date period of 2016. The decrease in non-interest expense for the year-to-date periods was due largely to lower salary and benefit costs due to open positions and a decline in severance costs, coupled with lower regulatory and legal expenses, partially offset by higher occupancy and equipment expenses.

Asset Quality

Asset quality improved during the third quarter, as total non-performing loans decreased $1.0 million to $2.6 million at September 30, 2017 from $3.7 million at June 30, 2017, but were $0.4 million higher than $2.2 million at December 31, 2016. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.35% at September 30, 2017, compared to 0.50% at June 30, 2017 and 0.31% at December 31, 2016. FNCB’s asset quality compared favorably to the peer average of 0.70% at June 30, 2017, the most recent data reported for FDIC-insured banks having assets between $1.0 billion and $3.0 billion. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of gross loans was 1.17% at September 30, 2017, compared to 1.16% at June 30, 2017 and 1.15% at December 31, 2016.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $49.4 million, or 4.5%, to $1.157 billion at September 30, 2017 from $1.108 billion at June 30, 2017. The increase reflected strong deposit growth, which was used to fund earning asset growth and accelerate a $5.0 million principal payment on FNCB’s subordinated notes originally due September 1, 2018 to September 1, 2017. Total deposits increased $50.5 million, or 5.4%, which was due largely to cyclical deposit trends of municipal customers, as well as the development of new municipal relationships. Net loans grew $31.0 million, or 4.3%, to $750.6 million at September 30, 2017 from $719.6 million at June 30, 2017.

Total assets at September 30, 2017 decreased $38.5 million, or 3.2%, from $1.196 billion at December 31, 2016. The change in total assets from year-end 2016, primarily resulted from a $68.6 million, or 61.0%, reduction in cash and cash equivalents, which was driven by a $31.9 million reduction in total deposits, coupled with the repayment of borrowed funds of $18.2 million. The decrease in total deposits was attributed primarily to the anticipated exit of short-term deposits in the first quarter of 2017 that were received late in 2016, with the remainder used to fund earning asset growth. Net loans grew $27.8 million, or 3.8%, to $750.6 million at September 30, 2017 from $722.9 million at December 31, 2016. Additionally, securities available for sale increased $6.0 million, or 2.2%, to $282.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2017 from $276.0 million at year-end 2016.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $7.1 million, or 7.9%, to $97.5 million at September 30, 2017 from $90.4 million at December 31, 2016. The capital improvement resulted primarily from net income of $6.3 million, coupled with a $1.7 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, from the appreciation in the fair value of available-for-sale securities, net of tax effects.
