LCNB Corp.: 5.9% Dividend Yield But Earnings Likely To Dip And Stock Appears Somewhat Overvalued

Summary The biggest earnings catalyst is organic growth in both residential and commercial real estate loans. Interest rate cuts will likely slightly boost the net interest margin. Earnings will likely dip this year because of the merger and then recover next year. The current market price is higher than the year-end target price. On the other hand, LCNB is offering an attractive dividend yield of 5.9%. Although the dividend payout ratio will most probablyimprove from now onwards, we’re not out of the woods yet because the capitallevel is quite low. Therefore, there is a slight chance of a dividend cut. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

LCNB: A Handsome 5%+ Yield But The TBV Is Under Pressure

LCNB is a small bank focusing on certain areas of Ohio. The local approach results in an exemplary quality level of the loan portfolio. The total amount of non-accruing assets is less than 0.1% of the loan portfolio and is backed by real estate assets. A solid performance in Q1, but the TBV was sliding due to the impact of higher interest rates on the securities portfolio. The bank also repurchased more than 8% of its shares above book value, which also had an impact on the TBV/share. Introduction LCNB (LCNB) is a small bank operating in certain areas of Ohio. Last time I looked at the bank I liked the dividend yield of in excess of 4% in combination with a robust loan book with very few loans past due. The share price has now fallen by approximately 15% since that previous article was published, so I wanted to have another look at the bank as its dividend yield has now increased to in excess of 5%. Data by YCharts The quarterly results were more than alright and LCNB’s dividend remains hedged My first stop when looking at a bank traditionally is the most recent income statement as that provides a good overview of how the bank is actually performing. Dividends are paid from earnings so having a solid earnings potential is likely one of the most important factors contributing to a healthy dividend policy. In the first quarter, LCNB’s interest income decreased just slightly, by a few hundred thousand dollar to $15.1M. Fortunately the interest expenses also decreased by in excess of 20% resulting in a net interest income of $14.2M which is just about 1% lower than in the first quarter of 2021, so that’s pretty good. LCNB Investor Relations It’s not difficult to understand the operating expenses continue to increase and we indeed see an increase in the non-interest expenses to $12.25M, an increase of approximately $750,000 compared to Q1 of last year. That’s entirely contributable to the higher salaries paid by LCNB as the bank saw its wage bill increase by about $0.8M. The combination of a slightly lower net interest income and a slightly higher net non-interest expense (up from $8M to $8.7M) caused the pre-tax income to decrease to $5.5M. That includes a $49,000 loan loss provision (compared to a $52,000 credit recorded in Q1 of last year). The net income was $4.5M for an EPS of $0.38. As the current quarterly dividend is still $0.20, the coverage ratio remains very strong considering the payout ratio is just under 53%. So looking at LCNB from an earnings perspective, the dividend appears to be safe. Especially considering the total amount of nonperforming assets continued to decrease. LCNB Investor Relations The total amount of non-accruing and past due loans came in at $3.74M, a decrease of 10% in the first quarter. As most of the non-accrual loans are secured by real estate (either CRE or residential real estate), LCNB will likely be able to recoup most of the investment. LCNB Investor Relations I also like the focus on the wealth management division and the assets under management increased to almost $1B. That sounds negligible but further down the road this could become ‘sticky’ revenue: if LCNB does a good job the AUM will continue to increase which will have a positive impact on the non-interest income. The fiduciary income is approximately $1.5M per quarter. LCNB Investor Relations The exposure to securities available for sale had a very negative impact on the book value So everything is looking good at first sight: the bank is trading at less than 10 times earnings and the healthy dividend makes LCNB attractive from both an income as well as a fundamental perspective. There’s just one element bothering me: the value destruction in the ‘securities available for sale’ portfolio. As interest rates fluctuate, the fair value of this portfolio changes. As these securities are marked as ‘available for sale’ the valuation increases and decreases don’t have to be recorded on the normal income statement, but they do show up on the comprehensive income statement.
