LATROBE, PA / ACCESSWIRE / April 25, 2018 / Commercial National Financial Corporation CNAF(Company), parent Company of Commercial Bank & Trust of PA, has reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The Company earned $1,040,000 (or $0.36 per average share outstanding) in the first quarter 2018 compared to $1,014,000 (or $0.35 per average share outstanding) in the first quarter of 2017.

The Company's annualized return on average assets and average equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 were 1.08% and 7.07%, respectively, compared to 1.07% and 7.29%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Tier one risk-based, total risk-based, leverage and common equity tier one capital ratios for March 31, 2018 were 22.43%, 22.95%, 14.65% and 22.43%, respectively. First quarter tax equivalent net interest margin was 4.21%. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was 10.42%. The Company's strong capital position, supplemented by recent and reasonably anticipated core earnings, remains supportive of the regular $0.26 quarterly common stock cash dividend payments to shareholders.

As disclosed each year in the Annual Report to Shareholders, on March 31, 2018, the Company employed 99 people in full-time and part-time positions. Forty-seven (47) employees are represented by the United Auto Workers, Local 1799. Of that bargaining unit total, Thirty-five (35) employees are full-time and twelve (12) employees are part-time. The Company has had unionized employees since 1972. In 2013, the Company and the bargaining unit entered into a labor agreement that will expire in February 2019. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Labor Relations Board both afford protection to the organized status of pre-existing collective bargaining units. The Company has been advised that bargaining unit status may limit the Company's strategic options relative to those of non-unionized insured depository institutions. The Company continues to consider this as a factor in its strategic and capital management decisions.

The Company operates nine community banking facilities in Greensburg, Hempfield Township, Latrobe, Ligonier, North Huntingdon, Unity Township and West Newton, Pennsylvania and also maintains a commercial business development sales force throughout its entire market area. The Company operates an asset management and trust division of Commercial Bank & Trust of PA headquartered in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Commercial Bank & Trust of PA also serves its customer base from an Internet banking site (www.cbthebank.com) and an automated TouchTone Teller banking system.
