Joseph R. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer of CNB Community Bancorp, Inc. and County National Bank, commented, “CNB produced improved earnings over the first quarter of 2024 as well as compared to the second quarter of 2023 in this second quarter of 2024 while continuing to expand our lending and deposits relationships throughout all of our communities. This growth has added to our profitability by somewhat offsetting the current rate environment of “higher for longer” and its impact on the cost of funding our balance sheet. Of equal importance is the foundation we have created at CNB for this ever-changing banking environment. We have maintained a strong credit culture and will continue to build our balance sheet by working with our communities and identifying their needs while pricing the risk accordingly, keeping in mind those clients as well as our shareholders.”
