COMMERCIAL NATIONAL POSTS HIGHER FIRST QUARTER 2012 EARNINGS

LATROBE, PA, April 18, 2012 - Commercial National Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:CNAF)(Company), parent Company of Commercial Bank & Trust of PA, has reported earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The Company earned $3,796,000 (or $1.33 per average share outstanding) in 2012 compared to $1,360,000 (or $.48 per average share outstanding) in 2011.

President and Chief Executive Officer Gregg E. Hunter noted, “First quarter 2012 earnings were greatly influenced by realized securities sale related gains that were generated in early March as a by-product of an asset/liability management rebalancing. The Company sold $49.8 million in book value taxable municipal bonds and $7.4 million in book value tax-free municipal bonds. These municipal bond sales resulted in a $3.2 million pre-tax gain which equated to a $2.1 million earnings benefit (or $0.74 per average share outstanding). This action was based on several factors. The main factor was a strategic decision to decrease the Company’s future market exposure by reducing the average maturity of the bond portfolio. In addition, the Company determined the potential future credit exposure associated with municipal bonds should be reduced. These municipal bond sales provide the Company with enhanced liquidity and flexibility going forward. The municipal bond market experienced significant price appreciation during the first two months of 2012, which provided the Company with a unique opportunity to manage market and credit exposures while also capturing unprecedented gains within earnings and capital. The Company’s core earnings not including the bond sale gains were $1,693,000 (or $.59 per average share outstanding).  Commercial National’s strong core earnings, solid asset quality and sizable capital base continue to be well-supportive of its regular quarterly common stock cash dividend payments to shareholders.”

 
 

 


In addition to Latrobe, Pennsylvania where it is headquartered, the Company operates community banking facilities in Greensburg, Hempfield Township, 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.
