NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of FNCB are comprised of the accounts of FNCB Bancorp, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, FNCB Bank (the “Bank”), as well as the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “FNCB”). The accounting and reporting policies of FNCB conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and accompanying notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior period amounts have been reclassified when necessary to conform to the current period’s presentation. Such reclassifications did not have an impact on the operating results or financial position of FNCB. The operating results and financial position of FNCB for the three months ended March 31, 2022 may not be indicative of future results of operations and financial position.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term are the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), securities’ valuation and impairment evaluation and income taxes.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in FNCB’s audited financial statements, included in the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Note 2. New Authoritative Accounting Guidance

Accounting Guidance to be Adopted in Future Periods

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” replaces the current loss impairment methodology under GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to form credit loss estimates in an effort to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit. ASU 2016-13 is commonly referred to as Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") and will require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendments in this update affect entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including such financial assets as loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. On June 17, 2016, the four federal financial institution regulatory agencies (the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency), issued a joint statement to provide information about ASU 2016-13 and the initial supervisory views regarding the implementation of the new standard. The joint statement applies to all banks, savings associations, credit unions and financial institution holding companies, regardless of asset size. The statement details the key elements of, and the steps necessary for, the successful transition to the new accounting standard. In addition, the statement notifies financial institutions that because the appropriate allowance levels are institution-specific amounts, the agencies will not establish benchmark targets or ranges for the change in institutions’ allowance levels upon adoption of the ASU, or for allowance levels going forward. Due to the importance of ASU 2016-13, the agencies encourage financial institutions to begin planning and preparing for the transition and state that senior management, under the oversight of the board of directors, should work closely with staff in their accounting, lending, credit risk management, internal audit, and information technology functions during the transition period leading up to, and well after, adoption. ASU 2016-13 was originally effective for public business entities that are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt the amendments in this ASU earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, "Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates," which finalized various effective date delays for private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and certain smaller reporting companies. Specifically, under ASU 2019-10, the effective date for implementation of CECL for smaller reporting companies, private companies and not-for-profits was extended to fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. FNCB is a smaller reporting company, and accordingly, will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2023. FNCB has a CECL task group comprised of members of its finance, credit administration, lending, internal audit, loan operations and information systems units. The CECL task group understands the provisions of ASU 2016-13 and is currently in the process of implementing the new guidance. As of March 31, 2022, the CECL task group has selected the segments and sub-segments within the loan portfolio that have similar risk characteristics that will be utilized for the model and has identified and implemented necessary changes to its core operating system and interfaces to be able to capture appropriate data requirements. FNCB has engaged a third-party consultant to assist and provide guidance in determining the appropriate methodology for each segment and evaluating qualitative factors and economic to develop appropriate forecasts for integration into the model. FNCB has also engaged another third-party consultant to perform an independent validation of the model prior to December 31, 2022. FNCB is currently evaluating the effect this guidance may have on its operating results and/or financial position, including assessing any potential impact on its capital.

Table of Contents

ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): "Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures," eliminates the TDR recognition and measurement guidance and, instead, requires that an entity evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments also enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. For public business entities, these amendments require that an entity disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Gross charge-off information must be included in the vintage disclosures required for public business entities in accordance with paragraph 326-20-50-6, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. These amendments should be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, which an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted ASU No. 2016-13, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU No. 2022-02 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. FNCB will ASU 2022-02 simultaneously with the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2023 and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

Refer to Note 2 to FNCB’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Annual Report") for a discussion of additional accounting guidance applicable to FNCB that will be adopted in future periods.

Except for securities of U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies, there were no securities of any individual issuer that exceeded 10.0% of shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The following table presents the maturity information of FNCB’s available-for-sale debt securities at March 31, 2022. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Because collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities are not due at a single maturity date, they are not included in the maturity categories in the following maturity summary.

Management evaluates individual securities in an unrealized loss position quarterly for other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”). As part of its evaluation, management considers, among other things, the length of time a security’s fair value is less than its amortized cost, the severity of decline, any credit deterioration of the issuer, whether management intends to sell the security, and whether it is more likely than not that FNCB will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost.

Management performed a review of all securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2022 and determined that changes in the fair values of the securities were consistent with movements in market interest rates and spreads or general market conditions. In addition, as part of its review, management noted that there was no material change in the credit quality of any of the issuers or any other event or circumstance that may cause a significant adverse effect on the fair value of these securities. Moreover, to date, FNCB has received all scheduled principal and interest payments and expects to fully collect all future contractual principal and interest payments on all securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022. FNCB does not intend to sell the securities, nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities, prior to recovery of their amortized cost. Based on the results of its review and considering the attributes of these debt securities, management concluded that the individual unrealized losses were temporary and OTTI did not exist at March 31, 2022.

Equity Securities

Included in equity securities with readily determinable fair values at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were investments in the common or preferred stock of publicly traded bank holding companies and an investment in a mutual fund comprised of 1-4 family residential mortgage-backed securities collateralized by properties within FNCB’s market area. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are reported at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Table of Contents

The following table presents unrealized and realized gains and losses recognized in net income on equity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Values

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, equity securities without readily determinable fair values consisted of a $500 thousand investment in a fixed-rate, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock of a privately-held bank holding company, which is included in other assets in the consolidated statement of financial condition. The preferred stock pays quarterly dividends at an annual rate of 8.25%. The preferred stock of this bank holding company is not traded on any established market and is accounted for as an equity security without a determinable fair value. Under GAAP, an equity security without a readily determinable fair value shall be written down to its fair value if a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. As part of its qualitative assessment, management engaged an independent third party to provide valuations of this investment as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which indicated that the investment was not impaired. Accordingly, management determined that no adjustment for impairment was required at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Restricted Stock

The following table presents FNCB's investment in restricted stock at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Restricted stock has limited marketability and is carried at cost. Management noted no indicators of impairment for the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh or Atlantic Community Banker’s Bank stock at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Included in commercial and industrial loans and leases at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $8.0 million and $21.9 million, respectively, of loans originated under the Small Business Administration ("SBA") Payment Protection Program ("PPP"). Included in net deferred loan fees at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in deferred loan origination fees, net of deferred loan origination costs, associated with the PPP loans. PPP loans are 100.0% guaranteed and may be forgiven by the SBA. Accordingly, there was no ALLL established for PPP loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

In 2021, management expanded FNCB's commercial credit product offerings to include commercial equipment financing, through simple interest loans, direct finance leases and municipal leases. Simple interest loans originated under this initiative are included in commercial and industrial loans and totaled $23.0 million at March 31, 2022 and $7.9 million at December 31, 2021. Tax-free municipal leases originated under this initiative are included in state and political subdivision loans and totaled $3.1 million at March 31, 2022 and $2.4 million at December 31, 2021. There were no direct finance leases originated under this initiative or outstanding at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

FNCB has granted loans, letters of credit and lines of credit to certain of its executive officers and directors as well as to certain of their related parties. For more information about related party transactions, refer to Note 8, “Related Party Transactions” to these consolidated financial statements.

FNCB originates 1-4 family mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the principal balance of 1-4 family mortgages sold on the secondary market were $0.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively. There were no net gains or losses realized on the sale of residential mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $224 thousand. FNCB retains servicing rights on mortgages sold on the secondary market. There were no 1-4 family residential mortgage loans held for sale at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for others, which includes residential mortgages and SBA-guaranteed loans, was $71.0 million at March 31, 2022 and $77.2 million at December 31, 2021.

There were no material changes to the risk characteristics of FNCB’s loan segments, loan classification and credit grading systems and methodology for determining the adequacy of the ALLL during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to FNCB’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information about the risk characteristics related to FNCB’s loan segments, loan classification and credit grading systems and methodology for determining the adequacy of the ALLL.

Management evaluates the credit quality of the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis and performs a formal review of the adequacy of the ALLL at the end of each quarter. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions. However, actual loan losses may be significantly more than the established ALLL, which could have a material negative effect on FNCB’s operating results or financial condition. Management continues to monitor the loan portfolio for any potential adverse impact to asset quality related to economic uncertainty and disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluations, future adjustments to the ALLL may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. Banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination of FNCB, also review the ALLL, and may require, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, that certain loan balances be charged off or require that adjustments be made to the ALLL.

The following table summarizes activity in the ALLL by major category for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Credit Quality Indicators – Commercial Loans

Management continuously monitors and evaluates the credit quality of FNCB’s commercial loans by regularly reviewing certain credit quality indicators. Management utilizes credit risk ratings as the key credit quality indicator for evaluating the credit quality of FNCB’s loan receivables.

FNCB’s loan rating system assigns a degree of risk to commercial loans based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. Management analyzes these non-homogeneous loans individually by grading the loans as to credit risk and probability of collection for each type of loan. Commercial and industrial loans include commercial indirect auto loans which are not individually risk rated, and construction, land acquisition and development loans include residential construction loans which are also not individually risk rated. These loans are monitored on a pool basis due to their homogeneous nature as described in “Credit Quality Indicators – Other Loans” below. FNCB risk rates certain residential real estate loans and consumer loans that are part of a larger commercial relationship using a credit grading system as described in “Credit Quality Indicators – Commercial Loans.” The grading system contains the following basic risk categories:

1.	Minimal Risk
2.	Above Average Credit Quality
3.	Average Risk
4.	Acceptable Risk
5.	Pass - Watch
6.	Special Mention
7.	Substandard - Accruing
8.	Substandard - Non-Accrual
9.	Doubtful
10.	Loss

This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis using the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass – Assets rated 1 through 5 are considered pass ratings. These assets show no current or potential problems and are considered fully collectible. All such loans are evaluated collectively for ALLL calculation purposes. However, accruing loans restructured under a troubled debt restructuring (“TDRs”) that have been performing for an extended period, do not represent a higher risk of loss, and have been upgraded to a pass rating are evaluated individually for impairment.

Table of Contents

Special Mention – Assets classified as special mention do not currently expose FNCB to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant an adverse classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving close attention. Special mention assets have a potential weakness or pose an unwarranted financial risk which, if not corrected, could weaken the asset and increase risk in the future.

Substandard – Assets classified as substandard have well defined weaknesses based on objective evidence and are characterized by the distinct possibility that FNCB will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that such weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable based on current circumstances.

Loss – Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted.

Credit Quality Indicators – Other Loans

Certain residential real estate loans, consumer loans, commercial and municipal indirect auto loans are monitored on a pool basis due to their homogeneous nature. Loans that are delinquent 90 days or more are placed on non-accrual status unless collection of the loan is in process and reasonably assured. FNCB utilizes accruing versus non-accrual status as the credit quality indicator for these loan pools.

The following tables present the recorded investment in loans and leases receivable by major category and credit quality indicator at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Included in loans and leases receivable are loans for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrowers. The recorded investment in these non-accrual loans was $3.9 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days or more delinquent. Once a loan is placed on non-accrual status, it remains on non-accrual status until it has been brought current, has six months of performance under the loan terms, and factors indicating reasonable doubt about the timely collection of payments no longer exist. Therefore, loans may be current in accordance with their loan terms, or may be less than 90 days delinquent, and still be on a non-accrual status. There were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

The following tables present a distribution of the recorded investment, unpaid principal balance and the related allowance for FNCB’s impaired loans, which have been analyzed for impairment under ASC 310, at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Non-accrual loans, other than TDRs, with balances less than the $100 thousand loan relationship threshold are not evaluated individually for impairment and accordingly, are not included in the following tables. However, these loans are evaluated collectively for impairment as homogeneous pools in the general allowance under ASC 450. Total non-accrual loans, other than TDRs, with balances less than the $100 thousand loan relationship threshold that were evaluated under ASC 450 amounted to $0.5 million and $0.6 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(1) Interest income represents income recognized on performing TDRs.

The additional interest income that would have been earned on non-accrual and restructured loans had these loans performed in accordance with their original terms approximated $43 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $60 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

Approximately $18 thousand and $26 thousand in specific reserves were established for TDRs at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. FNCB was not committed to lend additional funds to any borrower with a loan modified as a TDR at March 31, 2022.

The modification of the terms of loans classified as TDRs may include one or a combination of the following changes, among others: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, an extension of the maturity date, capitalization of real estate taxes, a payment modification under a forbearance agreement, or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

There were no loans modified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. There were no loans that were modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months that subsequently defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Note 6. Borrowings

FNCB has an agreement with the FHLB of Pittsburgh which allows for borrowings, either overnight or term, up to a maximum borrowing capacity based on a percentage of qualifying loans pledged under a blanket pledge agreement. In addition to pledging loans, FNCB is required to purchase FHLB of Pittsburgh stock based upon the amount of credit extended. Loans that were pledged to collateralize borrowings under this agreement were $475.4 million at March 31, 2022 and $478.3 million at December 31, 2021. FNCB's maximum borrowing capacity was $389.4 million at March 31, 2022. There was $67.0 million in overnight advances and $10.0 million in term borrowings through the FHLB of Pittsburgh outstanding at March 31, 2022.

Advances through the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window generally include short-term advances which are fully collateralized by certain pledged loans of $26.9 million under the Federal Reserve Bank's Borrower-in-Custody ("BIC") program. There were no advances under the BIC program outstanding at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. FNCB has available borrowing capacity of $20.4 million under this program at March 31, 2022.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, borrowings also included $10.3 million in junior subordinated debentures issued by FNCB, with a scheduled maturity of December 15, 2036.

Management evaluates the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if necessary, in accordance with guidance set forth in ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” and applies the criteria in the guidance to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized within its life cycle, based on the weight of available evidence. Management performed an evaluation of FNCB’s deferred tax assets at March 31, 2022 taking into consideration all available positive and negative evidence at that time. Based on this evaluation, management believes that FNCB’s future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize its deferred tax assets. There was no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets recorded at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

FNCB is obligated under operating leases for certain bank branches, office space, automobiles and equipment. Operating lease right of use ("ROU") assets represent FNCB's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating liabilities represent FNCB's obligation to make lease payments under the lease agreement. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents FNCB's incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date. ROU assets are included in other assets and operating lease liabilities are included in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition. As of March 31, 2022, ROU assets and lease liabilities were $2.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Operating lease expense associated with bank branches and office space is included in occupancy expense, while operating lease expenses associated with automobiles and office equipment are included in equipment expense in the consolidated statements of income. Total rental expense under leases amounted to $98 thousand and $97 thousand, respectively, at March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Note 10. Stock Compensation Plans

FNCB has a Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (“LTIP”) for directors, executives and key employees. The LTIP authorizes up to 1,200,000 shares of common stock for issuance and provides the Board of Directors with the authority to offer several different types of long-term incentives, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Board of Directors granted 71,860 and 66,065 shares of restricted stock, respectively, under the LTIP. At March 31, 2022, there were 608,729 shares of common stock available for award under the LTIP. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, stock-based compensation expense, which is included in salaries and benefits expense in the consolidated statements of income, totaled $100 thousand and $80 thousand, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards was $1.6 million and $1.3 million at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested shares of restricted stock is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.08 years.

The following table summarizes the activity related to FNCB’s unvested restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Note 11. Regulatory Matters/Subsequent Event

FNCB’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is largely dependent on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to FNCB. Bank regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of the Bank’s regulatory agency. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash dividends declared and paid by FNCB were $0.075 per share and $0.060 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. FNCB offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (“DRP”) to its shareholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, dividend reinvestment shares were purchased in open market transactions, however, shares under the optional cash purchase feature of the DRP were issued from authorized but unissued common shares. Common shares issued under the DRP for the three ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, totaled 1,310 and 3,207, respectively. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, on April 27, 2022 FNCB declared a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2022 of $0.075 per share, which is payable on June 15, 2022 to shareholders of record as of June 1, 2022.

On January 26, 2022, FNCB's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which up to 750,000 shares of FNCB's outstanding common stock may be acquired in the open market which commenced on March 4, 2022 and will expire on December 31, 2022, pursuant to a trading plan that was adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Under the program, shares are purchased from time to time at prevailing market prices, through open market transactions depending upon market conditions and administered through an independent broker. Repurchases are subject to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the trading plan. Under the program, the purchases will be funded from available working capital presently available to FNCB, and the repurchased shares will be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. There is not a guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by FNCB, and FNCB may discontinue at any time that management determines additional repurchases are no longer warranted. As of March 31, 2022, FNCB repurchased 307,514 shares at a weighted-average price per share of $9.69.

The holding company is considered a small bank holding company and is exempt from risk-based capital and leverage rules, including Basel III. FNCB and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on FNCB’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, FNCB and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of FNCB's and the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. FNCB's and the Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Management believes, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, that FNCB and the Bank met all applicable capital adequacy requirements.

Table of Contents

Current quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the tables below) of Total capital, Tier I capital, and Tier I common equity (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). The following tables present summary information regarding the Bank’s risk-based capital and related ratios at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Note 12. Fair Value Measurements

In determining fair value, FNCB uses various valuation approaches, including market, income and cost approaches. Accounting standards establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of FNCB. Unobservable inputs reflect FNCB’s knowledge about the assumptions the market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, which are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). A financial asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

●

Level 1 valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;

●

Level 2 valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by market data; and

●

Level 3 valuation is derived from other valuation methodologies including discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in determining fair value.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value is set forth below.

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

The estimated fair values for FNCB’s investments in obligations of U.S Treasury securities, U.S. government agencies, obligations of state and political subdivisions, government-sponsored agency CMOs and mortgage-backed securities, private collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities and negotiable certificates of deposit are obtained by FNCB from a nationally-recognized pricing service. This pricing service develops estimated fair values by analyzing like securities and applying available market information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing (Level 2 inputs), to prepare valuations. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include, among other things, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, and are based on market data obtained from sources independent from FNCB. The Level 2 investments in FNCB’s portfolio are priced using those inputs that, based on the analysis prepared by the pricing service, reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the assets. Management has determined that the Level 2 designation is appropriate for these securities because, as with most fixed-income securities, those in FNCB’s portfolio are not exchange-traded, and such non-exchange-traded fixed income securities are typically priced by correlation to observed market data. FNCB has reviewed the pricing service’s methodology to confirm its understanding that such methodology results in a valuation based on quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted markets for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which the significant assumptions can be corroborated by market data as appropriate to a Level 2 designation.

For those securities for which the inputs used by an independent pricing service were derived from unobservable market information, FNCB evaluated the appropriateness and quality of each price. Management reviewed the volume and level of activity for all classes of securities and attempted to identify transactions which may not be orderly or reflective of a significant level of activity and volume. For securities meeting these criteria, the quoted prices received from either market participants or an independent pricing service may be adjusted, as necessary, to estimate fair value (fair values based on Level 3 inputs). If applicable, the adjustment to fair value was derived based on present value cash flow model projections obtained from third party providers using assumptions similar to those incorporated by market participants.

At March 31, 2022, FNCB owned 28 corporate debt securities with an aggregate amortized cost and fair value of $33.9 million and $33.7 million, respectively. At March 31, 2022, the market for seven corporate debt securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $11.0 million and $11.3 million, respectively, was not active, based on transaction criteria for similar instruments. FNCB obtained valuations for these securities from a third-party service provider that prepared the valuations using a discounted cash flow approach. Management takes measures to validate the service providers’ analysis and is actively involved in the valuation process, including reviewing and verifying the assumptions used in the valuation calculations. Results of a discounted cash flow test are significantly affected by variables such as the estimate of the probability of default, estimates of future cash flows, discount rates, prepayment rates and the creditworthiness of the underlying issuers. FNCB considers these inputs to be unobservable Level 3 inputs because they are based on estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing this type of asset and developed based on the best information available under the circumstances rather than on observable inputs. As it relates to fair value measurements, once each issuer is categorized and the forecasted default rates have been applied, the expected cash flows are modeled using the variables described above. Discount rates ranging from 3.62% to 4.65% were applied to the expected cash flows to estimate fair value. Management will continue to monitor the market for these securities to assess the market activity and the availability of observable inputs and will continue to apply these controls and procedures to the valuations received from FNCB's third-party service provider.

Equity Securities

The estimated fair values of equity securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized exchanges (Level 1 inputs).

Derivative Contracts

FNCB's derivative liabilities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. Values of these instruments are obtained through an independent pricing source utilizing information which may include market observed quotations for swaps, LIBOR rates, forward rates and rate volatility. Derivative contracts create exposure to interest rate movements as well as risks from the potential of non-performance of the counterparty.

There was one corporate debt security transferred from Level 3 hierarchy to Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, four corporate debt securities were transferred from Level 3 hierarchy to Level 2. The market for the transferred securities was previously not active and management obtained fair values from an independent third party that utilized a discounted cash flow model. Subsequently, in the period of transfer, management was able to obtain fair values for these securities from the independent pricing service used to price the remainder of the portfolio using significant other observable inputs.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and additional quantitative information about the valuation techniques and inputs utilized by FNCB to determine fair value. All assets were measured using Level 3 inputs.

Other real estate owned		920		-		920	Appraisal of collateral/Sales contract	Selling cost		1.0	%

The fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is determined through independent appraisals or other reasonable offers, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable. Management reduces the appraised value by the estimated costs to sell the property and may adjust the appraised values as necessary to consider any declines in real estate values since the time of the appraisal. For impaired loans that are not collateral-dependent, fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow method. When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a valuation allowance or is charged off. The amount shown is the balance of impaired loans, net of any charge-offs and the related allowance for loan losses.

OREO properties are recorded at fair value less the estimated cost to sell at the date of FNCB’s acquisition of the property. Subsequent to acquisition of the property, the balance may be written down further. FNCB obtains certified external appraisals of real estate collateral underlying impaired loans and OREO and estimates fair value based on those appraisals. Other valuation sources may be used, including broker price opinions, letters of intent and executed sale agreements.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of FNCB’s financial instruments using an exit price notion at March 31, 2022 and at December 31, 2021. FNCB discloses fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the statements of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value in the financial statements were based on the exit price notion. The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, management judgment is required to interpret data and develop fair value estimates. Accordingly, the estimates below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts FNCB could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Note 13. Earnings per Share

For FNCB, the numerator of both the basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock is net income available to common shareholders. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the denominator for basic earnings per common share is increased to determine the denominator used for diluted earnings per common share by the effect of potentially dilutive common share equivalents utilizing the treasury stock method. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, common share equivalents consisted entirely of incremental shares of unvested restricted stock.

The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

FNCB’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations. Management has identified the policies on the determination of the ALLL, the valuation of securities and evaluation of securities for impairment, and income taxes to be critical, as management is required to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

The judgments used by management in applying the critical accounting policies discussed below may be affected by changes and/or deterioration in the economic environment, which may impact future financial results. Specifically, subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the ALLL in future periods, and the inability to collect on outstanding loans could result in increased loan losses. In addition, the valuation of certain securities in FNCB’s investment portfolio could be negatively impacted by illiquidity or dislocation in marketplaces resulting in significantly depressed market prices thus leading to impairment losses.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

Management evaluates the credit quality of FNCB’s loan portfolio on an ongoing basis and performs a formal review of the adequacy of the ALLL on a quarterly basis. The ALLL is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings and is maintained at a level management considers adequate to absorb estimated probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the evaluation date. Loans, or portions of loans, determined by management to be uncollectible are charged off against the ALLL, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the ALLL.

Determining the amount of the ALLL is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, qualitative factors, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination of FNCB, also review the ALLL, and may require, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, that certain loan balances be charged off or require that adjustments be made to the ALLL. Additionally, the ALLL is determined, in part, by the composition and size of the loan portfolio.

The ALLL consists of two components, a specific component and a general component. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted by qualitative factors. The general reserve component of the ALLL is based on pools of unimpaired loans segregated by loan segment and risk rating categories of “Pass,” “Special Mention” or “Substandard and Accruing.” Historical loss factors and various qualitative factors are applied based on the risk profile in each risk rating category to determine the appropriate reserve related to those loans. Substandard loans on non-accrual status above the $100 thousand loan relationship threshold and all loans considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are classified as impaired.

See Note 4, “Loans and Leases” of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof for additional information about the ALLL.

Securities Valuation and Evaluation for Impairment

Management utilizes various inputs to determine the fair value of its investment portfolio. To the extent they exist, unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1) or quoted prices for similar assets or models using inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly (Level 2) are utilized to determine the fair value of each investment in the portfolio. In the absence of observable inputs or if markets are illiquid, valuation techniques are used to determine fair value of any investments that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement (Level 3). For Level 3 inputs, valuation techniques are based on various assumptions, including, but not limited to, cash flows, discount rates, adjustments for nonperformance and liquidity, and liquidation values. A significant degree of judgment is involved in valuing investments using Level 3 inputs. The use of different assumptions could have a positive or negative effect on FNCB’s financial condition or results of operations. See Note 3, “Securities” and Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements” of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof for additional information about FNCB’s securities valuation techniques.

On a quarterly basis, management evaluates individual investment securities in an unrealized loss position for other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”). The evaluation for OTTI requires the use of various assumptions, including but not limited to, the length of time an investment’s fair value is less than book value, the severity of the investment’s decline, any credit deterioration of the issuer, whether management intends to sell the security, and whether it is more-likely-than-not that FNCB will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis. Debt investment securities deemed to have OTTI are written down by the impairment related to the estimated credit loss, and the non-credit related impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. FNCB did not recognize any OTTI charges on investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 within the consolidated statements of income.

Refer to Note 3, “Securities,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof for additional information about valuation of securities.

Income Taxes

The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in FNCB’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could impact our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

FNCB records an income tax provision or benefit based on the amount of tax currently payable or receivable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. Management conducts quarterly assessments of all available positive and negative evidence to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that will more likely than not be realized. FNCB establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and records a charge to income if management determines, based on available evidence at the time the determination is made, that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, management considers past operating results, estimates of future taxable income based on approved business plans, future capital requirements and ongoing tax planning strategies. This evaluation process involves significant management judgment about assumptions that are subject to change from period to period depending on the related circumstances. The recognition of deferred tax assets requires management to make significant assumptions and judgments about future earnings, the periods in which items will impact taxable income, future corporate tax rates, and the application of inherently complex tax laws. The use of different estimates can result in changes in the amounts of deferred tax items recognized, which may result in equity and earnings volatility because such changes are reported in current period earnings.

In connection with determining the income tax provision or benefit, management considers maintaining liabilities for uncertain tax positions and tax strategies that it believes contain an element of uncertainty. Periodically, management evaluates each of FNCB’s tax positions and strategies to determine whether a liability for uncertain tax benefits is required. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, management determined that FNCB did not have any uncertain tax positions or tax strategies and that no liability was required to be recorded.

Refer to Note 7, “Income Taxes,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof for additional information about income taxes.

New Authoritative Accounting Guidance and Accounting Guidance to be Adopted in Future Periods

Refer to Note 2, “New Authoritative Accounting Guidance,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof for information about new authoritative accounting guidance adopted by FNCB as of March 31, 2022, as well as new accounting guidance issued, but not previously reported, that will be adopted by FNCB in future periods.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

Management continues to navigate and respond to the many challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. FNCB branches are open, and while fully operational, FNCB continues to follow CDC and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania guidance and take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of its customers and its employees. During 2021, widespread availability and distribution of vaccines, including boosters, resulted in the lifting of restrictions, the reopening of the economy and improvement in economic growth across the United States and more specifically within our market area. However, lingering effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, including the effects of new variants, such as the X-E variant, continue to adversely impact employment markets and supply-chains affecting global, national, regional and local economies. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with other factors such as the war in Ukraine, have resulted in pronounced price inflation beginning in 2021 and continuing into 2022.

At March 31, 2022, FNCB had PPP loans still outstanding of $7.6 million, net of $0.4 million in net deferred origination fees, compared to $21.0 million outstanding in loans at December 31, 2021, net of $0.9 million in net deferred origination fees. Management expects to receive forgiveness for the majority of the remaining balance of outstanding PPP loans by the end of the second quarter of 2022. Regarding our banking operations, commercial activity within our market area, while improving, remains volatile and has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. Management expects the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, overall financial stability and global supply chains, as well as increased or decreased governmental intervention in the U.S. financial system, to continue to impact FNCB's operations. At this time, management cannot determine or estimate the full magnitude of the impact and cannot provide any assurances as to the effect on FNCB's results of operations or financial position. The FNCB team will continue to work diligently to address any issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic in a safe and sound manner as they arise. Management believes that FNCB's balance sheet and capital position are strong and will allow FNCB to withstand any further challenges that may be presented.

Executive Summary

The following overview should be read in conjunction with this MD&A in its entirety.

FNCB recorded consolidated net income of $4.4 million, or $0.22 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 25.4%, compared to $5.8 million, or $0.29 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in first quarter 2022 earnings was caused by increases in non-interest expense and the provision for loan and lease losses and a decrease in non-interest income, partially offset by an increase in net interest income. Non-interest expense increased $1.4 million, or 19.2%, to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $7.2 million for the same three months of 2021, which was largely due to costs associated with full implementation of FNCB's new product offering through 1st Equipment Finance. The provision for loan and lease losses increased $573 thousand, or 308.0% to $759 thousand for the first quarter of 2022 from $186 thousand for the same quarter of 2021, which reflected increases in outstanding loan balances. Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022, decreased $1.0 million, or 35.5%, to $1.8 million from $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in non-interest revenue primarily reflected reductions in net gains on the sales of available-for-sale debt securities and mortgage loans held for sale of $213 thousand and $224 thousand, respectively. FNCB also recorded a net loss on equity securities of $125 thousand for the first quarter of 2022, a reduction of $489 thousand, as compared to recording net gains of $364 thousand for the same quarter of 2021. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2021, FNCB received non-recurring income of $422 thousand related to a BOLI insurance settlement for a death benefit claim. Partially offsetting these reductions to earnings was a $1.4 million, or 12.2%, increase in net interest income to $12.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 from $11.4 million for the same period of 2021.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the annualized return on average assets and the return on average equity was 1.08% and 11.31%, respectively, and 1.61% and 15.27%, respectively, for the same period of 2021. FNCB declared and paid dividends to holders of common stock of $0.075 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a 25.0% increase compared to $0.060 per share for the same period of 2021.

Total assets decreased $14.8 million, or 0.9%, to $1.650 billion at March 31, 2022 from $1.664 billion at December 31, 2021. The change in total assets primarily reflected decreases in cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale debt securities, partially offset by an increase in loans and leases. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $74.9 million, or 75.7%, to $24.1 million at March 31, 2022 from $99.0 million at December 31, 2021. Available-for-sale debt securities decreased $8.5 million, or 1.6%, to $514.1 million at March 31, 2022 from $522.6 million at December 31, 2021. Loans and leases, net of the allowance for loan and lease losses, increased to $1.023 billion at March 31, 2022 from $967.0 million at December 31, 2021, as increases were experienced across all loan categories due to strong organic demand, the new product offering and the acquisition of loans pools from third-party originators. Total deposits decreased $43.4 million, or 3.0%, to $1.412 billion at March 31, 2022 from $1.455 billion at December 31, 2021. Total borrowed funds increased $57.0 million, to $87.3 million, at March 31, 2022, which was comprised of $77.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh advances and $10.3 million in junior subordinated debentures, compared to $30.3 million in outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2021.

On January 26, 2022, FNCB's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which up to 750,000 shares of FNCB's outstanding common stock may be acquired in the open market commencing no earlier than March 4, 2022 and expiring December 31, 2022, pursuant to a trading plan that was adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Under the program, shares are purchased from time to time at prevailing market prices, through open market transactions depending upon market conditions and administered through an independent broker. Repurchases are subject to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the trading plan. Under the program, the purchases will be funded from available working capital presently available to FNCB, and the repurchased shares will be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. There is not a guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by FNCB, and FNCB may discontinue at any time that management determines additional repurchases are no longer warranted. As of March 31, 2022, FNCB repurchased 307,514 shares for an approximate aggregate cost of $3.0 million.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased $24.1 million, or 14.8%, to $138.4 million at March 31, 2022 from $162.5 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in capital was primarily due to an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $17.7 million at March 31, 2022, compared to accumulated other comprehensive income of $6.3 million at December 31, 2021, which was principally caused by the depreciation in the fair value of FNCB's available-for-sale debt securities, net of deferred taxes. Also contributing to the reduction in capital was $3.0 million for the repurchase of common shares and $1.5 million in dividends declared and paid for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These reductions were partially offset by net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $4.4 million. FNCB Bank's total risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 14.10% and 9.30% at March 31, 2022, respectively, compared to 14.64% and 8.92% at December 31, 2021, respectively.

Management Focus in 2022

For the remainder of 2022, management will continue to focus on expanding FNCB's comprehensive digital strategy to respond to evolving customer demands and create operational and delivery channel efficiencies. Specifically, in the fourth quarter of 2021, FNCB engaged a third-party service provider for the origination and underwriting of residential mortgages through their web-based platform. This new platform, which was implemented in April 2022, provides customers with secure, state-of-art technology to guide them through the entire mortgage origination process from application to closing and allows FNCB to focus on attracting new customers and deepening existing customer relationships. FNCB is also in the process of fully integrating a new business lending software, which is a fully digital infrastructure that supports future growth, allowing FNCB to expand market penetration, improve borrower response time, and enhance governance related to credit administration and underwriting. Lastly, FNCB has partnered with a FinTech company formed by veteran community bank executives and implemented its proprietary cloud-based data analytic platform. This analytic platform provides timely and unique insight into FNCB's deposit, loan and revenue demographics, allowing FNCB's management team to make informed decisions to drive revenue, manage risk and create operational efficiencies.

Summary of Performance

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, defined as the difference between (i) interest income, interest and fees on interest-earning assets, and (ii) interest expense, interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds, is the primary source of earnings for commercial banks. As such, it is the primary determinant of profitability for FNCB. Net interest income is impacted by variations in the volume, rate and composition of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in general market rates and the level of non-performing assets. Interest income is presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis using the statutory corporate tax rate of 21.0% in 2022 and 2021.

In response to the economic fallout from the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") lowered the federal funds target rate 150 basis points in two emergency actions in March 2020. As a result, the target range for federal funds fell from 1.50%-1.75% at December 31, 2019 to 0.00%-0.25% at March 31, 2020 and had remained at these historically low levels through March 15, 2022. However, the recent increase in inflation resulted in the FOMC raising the target range for the federal funds rate 25 basis points at its meeting on March 16, 2022. The increase in the federal funds target rate resulted in a corresponding 25-basis point increase in the national prime rate to 3.50% on the same date. These actions, along with the FOMC indicating additional rate increases during 2022, resulted in a rise in general market interest rates at the end of the first quarter of 2022. Previously, the FOMC actions, along with sustained decreases in general market interest rates, had resulted in decreases in yields earned on earning-assets, as well as the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities in 2021. Additionally, net interest income, earning-asset yields and the net interest margin were impacted by the origination, funding and forgiveness of PPP loans.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis increased $1.4 million, or 12.1%, to $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $11.6 million for the comparable period of 2021. The improvement in tax-equivalent net interest income primarily reflected an increase in tax-equivalent interest income of $1.0 million, or 7.8%, to $13.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 from $12.4 million for the same quarter of 2021, coupled with a decrease in interest expense of $0.4 million, or 52.0%, to $0.4 million from $0.8 million, primarily due to the reduction in funding costs. The tax-equivalent net interest margin, a key measurement used in the banking industry to measure income from earning assets relative to the cost to fund those assets, is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest income by average interest-earning assets. FNCB’s tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased 24 basis points to 3.35% for the first quarter of 2022 from 3.59% for the same quarter of 2021. Additionally, rate spread, the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities shown on a fully tax-equivalent basis, declined 20 basis points to 3.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 3.51% for the same three months of 2021.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, tax-equivalent interest income increased $1.0 million, or 7.8%, to $13.4 million from $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which largely reflected higher volumes of average earning assets, partially offset by reductions in the tax-equivalent yields on earning assets. Total average earning assets increased $263.0 million, or 20.3%, to $1.559 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $1.296 billion for the same three months of 2021, which resulted in a corresponding increase in tax-equivalent interest income of $1.9 million. Specifically, total securities averaged $541.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $179.0 million, or 49.5%, from $362.0 million for the first quarter of 2021. Additionally, average total loans and leases increased $79.9 million, or 8.7%, to $1.000 billion for the first quarter of 2022 from $920.4 million for the same quarter of 2021, which largely reflected strong organic loan demand, the new commercial equipment financing product offering, and purchases of loan pools from third-party originators. Increases in the average balances of securities and loans resulted in corresponding increases to tax-equivalent interest income of $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, comparing the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The tax-equivalent yield on average earning assets for the first quarter of 2022 was 3.45%, a decrease of 40 basis points from 3.85% for the same quarter of 2021, which resulted in a $1.0 million decrease to tax-equivalent interest income.

The $0.4 million, or 52.0%, decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a 20-basis point reduction in the cost of funds to 0.14% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 0.34% for the same three months of 2021. Specifically, the average rate paid for interest-bearing deposits decreased 20 basis points to 0.12% for the first quarter of 2022 from 0.32% for the same period of 2021, resulting in a corresponding decrease to interest expense of $0.5 million. The average rates paid for interest-bearing demand and time deposits, which reflected the reduction in market interest rates and repricing of higher-costing time deposit upon maturity, decreased 13 basis points and 54 basis points, respectively, comparing the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing demand deposits and time deposits caused corresponding reductions to interest expense of $246 thousand and $214 thousand, respectively. Changing customer deposit preferences due to continued economic uncertainty coupled with supply-chain constraints and general rate environment, factored into deposit migration from time deposits into non-maturity deposits. Specifically, average interest-bearing deposits increased $112.6 million, or 11.3%, to $1.112 billion from $999.1 million comparing the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Average interest-bearing demand deposits increased $130.7 million, or 18.8%, to $826.5 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $695.8 million for the same quarter of 2021, while average savings deposits increased $26.1 million, or 22.9%, to $140.5 million from $114.3 million comparing the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Conversely, average time deposits decreased $44.3 million, or 23.4%, to $144.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $189.0 million for the same three months of 2021.

Rate Volume Analysis

The most significant impact on net income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume and rates earned or paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The volume of earning assets, specifically loans and investments, compared to the volume of interest-bearing liabilities represented by deposits and borrowings, combined with the spread, produces the changes in net interest income between periods. Components of interest income and interest expense are presented on a tax-equivalent basis using the corporate federal income tax rate of 21%.

The following table summarizes the effect that changes in volumes of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned and paid on these assets and liabilities have on net interest income. The net change or mix component attributable to the combined impact of rate and volume changes has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses is an expense charged against net interest income to provide for probable losses attributable to uncollectible loans and leases and is based on management’s analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL. A release of reserves, resulting in a credit for loan and lease losses, reflects the reversal of amounts previously charged to the ALLL. Management closely monitors the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the ALLL by considering the underlying financial performance of the borrower, collateral values and associated credit risks. Future material adjustments may be necessary to the provision for loan and lease losses and the ALLL if economic conditions or loan performance differ substantially from the assumptions management considered in its evaluation of the ALLL. Despite continued economic uncertainty, global supply chain issues and inflationary pressures due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors such as the war in Ukraine, FNCB's asset quality metrics have remained favorable throughout 2021 and during the first three months of 2022. Management will continue to closely monitor FNCB's asset quality and adjust credit provisioning as appropriate. FNCB recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $759 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 compared to a $186 thousand provision for loan and lease losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in provision was primarily attributable to the increase in loan volumes.

Non-interest Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, non-interest income decreased $1.0 million, or 35.5%, to $1.8 million from $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was largely due to reductions in net gains on equity securities, net gains on the sale of available-for-sale debt securities and net gains on the sale of mortgage loans held for sale, partially offset by an increase in deposit service charges. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, a net loss on equity securities totaled $125 thousand, a decrease of $489 thousand, or 134.3%, compared to a recorded gain on equity securities of $364 thousand for the same three months of 2021. Additionally, there were no net gains realized on the sale of available-for-sale debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Comparatively, net gains realized on the sale of available-for-sale debt securities were $213 thousand for the same three-month period of 2021. No net gains on the sale of mortgage loans held for sale were recognized for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $224 thousand for the same quarter of 2021. These reductions were partially offset by a $176 thousand, or 20.1%, increase in deposit service charges to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $874 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 19.2% to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which primarily reflected increases in salaries and employee benefits, data processing expenses and other operating expenses. Salaries and employee benefits increased $922 thousand, or 24.7%, which included the increased costs of onboarding the 1st Equipment Finance team of lending professionals in the Bank's efforts to expand its equipment loan and lease portfolios. Data processing expenses increased $244 thousand, or 29.8%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $819 thousand for the same three months of 2021. Other operating expenses increased $151 thousand, or 19.5%, to $926 thousand for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $775 thousand for the same quarter of 2021. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $61 thousand and $29 thousand in occupancy and equipment expenses, respectively, when comparing the first quarter of 2022 to 2021.

Provision for Income Taxes

FNCB recorded income tax expense of $917 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $64 thousand, or 6.5%, compared to income tax expense of $981 thousand for the same period of 2021. The decrease in income tax expense primarily reflected a decrease in pre-tax net income of $1.5 million, or 22.7%, when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Despite the decrease in income tax expense, FNCB's effective tax rate increased to 17.40% at March 31, 2022 compared to 14.40% for the same period of 2021. The lower effective tax rate for 2021 reflected the recognition of $422 thousand of non-taxable income from a BOLI settlement received on a death benefit claim.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets

Total assets were $1.650 billion at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $14.8 million, or 0.9%, from $1.664 billion at December 31, 2021. The change in total assets primarily reflected decreases in cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale debt securities, partially offset by an increase in loans and leases, net of the ALLL. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $74.9 million, or 75.7%, to $24.1 million at March 31, 2022 from $99.0 million at December 31, 2021. Available-for-sale debt securities decreased $8.5 million, or 1.6%, to $514.1 million at March 31, 2022 from $522.6 million at December 31, 2021. Loans and leases, net of the ALLL, increased to $1.023 billion at March 31, 2022 from $967.0 million at December 31, 2021, as increases were experienced across all loan categories. Total deposits decreased $43.4 million, or 3.0%, to $1.412 billion at March 31, 2022 from $1.455 billion at December 31, 2021. Specifically, interest-bearing deposits decreased $40.9 million, or 3.6%, to $1.094 billion at March 31, 2022 from $1.135 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease in interest-bearing deposits was coupled with a decrease in non-interest-bearing deposits of $2.5 million, or 0.8%. Conversely, total borrowed funds increased $57.0 million, to $87.3 million, at March 31, 2022 from $30.3 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was entirely related to an increase in advances through the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Total borrowed funds at March 31, 2022 were comprised of $77.0 million in FHLB of Pittsburgh advances and $10.3 million in junior subordinated debentures.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $74.9 million, or 75.7%, to $24.1 million at March 31, 2022 from $99.0 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents results primarily from the increase in loans and leases, coupled with a reduction in total deposits, partially offset by an increase in borrowed funds. Additionally, FNCB paid cash dividends totaling $0.075 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 25.0% compared to dividends of $0.060 per share paid for the same period of 2021.

Securities

FNCB’s investment securities portfolio provides a source of liquidity needed to meet expected loan demand and interest income to increase profitability. Additionally, the investment securities portfolio is used to meet pledging requirements to secure public deposits and for other purposes. Debt securities are classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale at the time of purchase based on management's intent. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost, while available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all debt securities were classified as available-for-sale. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, with gains and losses due to fluctuations in market value included in non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income. Securities with limited marketability and/or restrictions, such as FHLB of Pittsburgh stock, are carried at cost. Management monitors the investment portfolio regularly. Decisions to purchase or sell investment securities are based upon management’s current assessment of long- and short-term economic and financial conditions, including the interest rate environment and asset/liability management, liquidity and tax-planning strategies.

At March 31, 2022, FNCB's investment portfolio was comprised principally of available-for-sale debt securities including, fixed-rate, taxable and tax-exempt obligations of state and political subdivisions, and fixed-rate and floating-rate securities issued by U.S. government or U.S. government-sponsored agencies, which include mortgage-backed securities and residential and commercial collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). FNCB also holds investments, to a lesser extent, in private CMO's, corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities. Additionally, FNCB holds equity investments in the common and preferred stock of certain publicly-traded and privately-held bank holding companies. Except for U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies, there were no securities of any individual issuer that exceeded 10.0% of shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2022.

The following table presents the carrying value of available-for-sale debt securities and equity securities with readily determinable fair values at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Composition of the Investment Portfolio

Activity related to available-for-sale debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 included the purchase of 29 available-for-sale debt securities with an aggregate principal balance of $34.5 million and a weighted-average yield of 2.53%. The purchases were diversified across all major investment categories. Principal repayments and a decrease in the market value of the available-for-sale portfolio due to an increase in market interest rates entirely offset the increase due to the purchases. FNCB did not sell any available-for-sale debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, FNCB sold three securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $2.8 million and realized a net gain on the sales of $213 thousand, which is included in non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The majority of FNCB's debt securities are fixed-rate instruments and inherently subject to interest rate risk, as the value of fixed-rate securities fluctuate with changes in interest rates. U.S. Treasury rates continued to increase during the first quarter of 2022 as the FOMC started to tighten monetary policy. Additionally, the yield curve flattened as, the spread between the 2-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury rates narrowed. The 2-year U.S. Treasury rate increased 155 basis points to 2.28% at March 31, 2022 from 0.73% at December 31, 2021, while the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate increased 80 basis points to 2.32% at March 31, 2022 from 1.52% at December 31, 2021. These increases resulted in a 75-basis point narrowing of the spread between the 2-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury rate to just 0.04% at March 31, 2022 from 0.79% at December 31, 2021. Generally, a security's value reacts inversely with changes in interest rates. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reported in the accumulated other comprehensive income or loss component of shareholder's equity net of deferred income taxes. At March 31, 2022, FNCB reported a net unrealized loss, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, of $18.3 million, net of deferred income taxes of $4.9 million, a decrease of $24.5 million, or 398.7%, compared to net unrealized holding gains of $6.1 million, net of deferred income taxes of $1.6 million, at December 31, 2021. Any further increase in interest rates could result in further depreciation in the fair value of FNCB's securities portfolio and capital position. However, accumulated other comprehensive income and loss related to available-for-sale debt securities is excluded from regulatory capital and does not have an impact on FNCB's regulatory capital ratios.

Management continually monitors the investment portfolio for credit worthiness, value, and yield. Semi-annually, management engages a third-party consultant to review the municipal portfolio to determine if there is any undue credit risk within the portfolio. As part of the independent review, each security is compared to their "portfolio credit benchmark" to identify which securities may contain more than a minimal risk of payment default. Based on their semi-annual review as of December 31, 2021, the third-party consultant concluded that each municipal security held within the portfolio met or exceeded the benchmark and that none of the securities required further review. The next third-party review is scheduled for June 30, 2022. Management also monitors municipal securities monthly using a third-party Municipal Surveillance Report that identifies events related to the issuer that may indicate a deterioration in credit quality. Management noted no such events during the first quarter of 2022.

The following table presents the weighted-average yields of available-for-sale debt securities by major category and maturity period at March 31, 2022. Yields are calculated on the basis of the amortized cost and weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security. The yields on tax-exempt obligations of state and political subdivisions are presented on a tax-equivalent basis using the federal corporate income tax rate of 21.0%. Because residential, commercial and private collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities are not due at a single maturity date, they are not included in the maturity categories in the following summary.

Loans and Leases

Total loans and leases, gross, increased $55.0 million, or 5.6%, to $1.036 billion at March 31, 2022 from $981.4 million at December 31, 2021. The growth in the loan portfolio reflected increases in all loan categories, which was primarily due to strong organic demand and the new commercial equipment financing product line. In addition, FNCB purchased individual loans and loan pools originated by third-party originators, to enhance interest income revenue streams and diversify the loan portfolio. Loan purchases during the first quarter of 2022 included commercial equipment financing, residential mortgage loans and secured and unsecured consumer loans.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, FNCB expanded its commercial credit product offerings to include commercial equipment financing, through simple interest loans, and direct finance and municipal leases. FNCB hired a team of experienced professionals to initiate this lending program, which is doing business under the name of 1st Equipment Finance. The majority of equipment financing is originated through indirect, third-party dealers. As of March 31, 2022, simple interest loans and municipal leases originated under this initiative were $23.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Simple interest loans are included in commercial and industrial loans, while municipal leases are included in state and municipal subdivision loans.

Also, included in commercial and industrial loans and leases at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $8.0 million and $21.9 million, respectively, of loans originated under the Small Business Administration ("SBA") Payment Protection Program ("PPP"). Included in net deferred loan fees at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in deferred loan origination fees, net of deferred loan origination costs, associated with the PPP loans. PPP loans are 100.0% guaranteed and may be forgiven by the SBA. Accordingly, there was no ALLL established for PPP loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

From a collateral standpoint, a majority of FNCB’s loan portfolio consists of loans secured by real estate. Real estate secured loans, which include commercial real estate, construction, land acquisition and development, and residential real estate loans, increased $29.4 million, or 4.6%, to $671.1million at March 31, 2022 from $641.7 million at December 31, 2021. Despite the increase, real estate secured loans represented 64.7% of gross loans at March 31, 2022 compared to 65.4% at December 31, 2021.

Commercial real estate loans increased $7.6 million, or 2.1%, to $373.6 million at March 31, 2022 from $366.0 million at December 31, 2021. Commercial real estate loans include long-term commercial mortgage financing and are primarily secured by first or second lien mortgages. Commercial and industrial loans and leases, consist primarily of equipment loans, working capital financing, revolving lines of credit and loans secured by cash and marketable securities. In addition, commercial and industrial loans include PPP loans. Commercial and industrial loans increased $14.0 million, or 7.3%, to $207.1 million at March 31, 2022 from $193.1 million at December 31, 2021, which was primarily due to equipment loan origination through 1st Equipment Finance and the purchase of loan pools through third-party originators during the three months ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by forgiveness of PPP loans. Construction, land acquisition and development loans increased $8.2 million, or 19.7%, to $49.8 million at March 31, 2022 from $41.6 million at December 31, 2021.

Residential real estate loans include fixed-rate and variable-rate, amortizing mortgage loans, home equity term loans and home equity lines of credit ("HELOCs"). FNCB primarily underwrites fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market to reduce interest rate risk and provide funding for additional loans. Additionally, FNCB offers its proprietary “WOW” mortgage product, which is a non-saleable mortgage with maturity terms of 7.5 to 19.5 years that provides customers with an attractive fixed interest rate and low closing costs. Residential real estate loans totaled $248.2 million at March 31, 2022, an increase of $14.1 million, or 6.0%, from $234.1 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was largely due to strong demand for the WOW mortgage product, the balance of which increased $6.2 million, or 6.1%, to $107.2 million at March 31, 2022 from $101.0 million at December 31, 2021, coupled with the purchase of two pools of third-party originated residential mortgage loans totaling $4.9 million.

Consumer loans primarily include indirect automobile loans and secured and unsecured personal loans. Consumer loans increased by $9.2 million, or 10.8%, to $94.7 million at March 31, 2022 from $85.5 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in consumer loans was largely due to the purchase of consumer loan pools from third-party originators including $12.6 million in unsecured consumer loans and $1.9 million in consumer loans secured by chattel paper, net of principal repayments. Loans to state and political subdivisions increased $2.4 million, or 3.9%, to $63.5 million at March 31, 2022 from $61.1 million at December 31, 2021.

Asset Quality

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and reduced by the ALLL. The ALLL is established through a provision for loan and lease losses charged to earnings.

FNCB has established and consistently applies loan policies and procedures designed to foster sound underwriting and credit monitoring practices. Credit risk is managed through the efforts of the Chief Banking Officer, Chief Lending Officer and loan officers, the Chief Credit Officer, the loan review function, and the Credit Risk Management, ALLL, Officers Loan and Directors Loan Committees, as well as through oversight of the Board of Directors. Management continually evaluates its credit risk management practices to ensure it is reacting to problems in the loan portfolio in a timely manner, although, as is the case with any financial institution, a certain degree of credit risk is dependent in part on local and general economic conditions that are beyond management’s control.

Under FNCB’s risk rating system, loans that are rated pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss are reviewed regularly as part of the risk management practices. The Credit Risk Management Committee, which consists of key members of management fromfinance, legal, lending and credit administration, meet monthly or more often as necessary to review individual problem credits and workout strategies and provides monthly reports to the Board of Directors.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that FNCB will be unable to collect all amounts due (including principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the note and loan agreement. For purposes of the analysis, all TDRs, loan relationships with an aggregate outstanding balance greater than $100 thousand rated substandard and non-accrual, and loans that are identified as doubtful or loss are considered impaired. Impaired loans are analyzed individually to determine the amount of impairment. For collateral-dependent loans, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral supporting the loans. A loan is determined to be collateral dependent when repayment of the loan is expected to be provided through the liquidation of the collateral held. For impaired loans that are secured by real estate, collateral evaluations and external appraisals are obtained annually, or more frequently as warranted, to ascertain a fair value so that the impairment analysis can be updated. Should a collateral evaluation or current appraisal not be available at the time of impairment analysis, other sources of valuation may be used, including current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale. Under the fair value of collateral method, the impaired amount of the loan is deemed to be the difference between the loan amount and the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated costs to sell. For real estate secured loans, management generally estimates selling costs using a factor of 10%, which is based on typical cost factors, such as a 6% broker commission, 1% transfer taxes, and 3% various other miscellaneous costs associated with the sales process. If the valuation indicates that the fair value has deteriorated below the carrying value of the loan, the difference between the fair value and the principal balance is charged off. For impaired loans for which the value of the collateral less costs to sell exceeds the loan value, the impairment is determined to be zero. For non-collateral-dependent loans, impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, net of any deferred fees and costs, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate.

Loans to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty that are modified and result in the granting of concessions to the borrowers are classified as TDRs and are considered to be impaired. Such concessions generally involve an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date, a reduction of the stated interest rate, payment modifications, capitalization of property taxes with respect to mortgage loans or a combination of these modifications. Non-accrual TDRs are returned to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are brought current, are performing under the modified terms for six consecutive months, and management believes that collection of the remaining interest and principal is probable.

Table of Contents

Non-performing loans are monitored on an ongoing basis as part of FNCB’s loan review process. Additionally, work-out for non-performing loans and OREO are actively monitored through the Credit Risk Management Committee. A potential loss on a non-performing asset is generally determined by comparing the outstanding loan balance to the fair market value of the pledged collateral, less cost to sell.

Loans are placed on non-accrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when management believes that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful. This generally occurs when a default of interest or principal has existed for 90 days or more, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection, or when management becomes aware of facts or circumstances that the loan would default before 90 days. FNCB determines delinquency status based on the number of days since the date of the borrower’s last required contractual loan payment. When the interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid interest income is reversed and charged back against current earnings. Any subsequent cash payments received are applied, first to the outstanding loan amounts, then to the recovery of any charged-off loan amounts, with any excess treated as a recovery of lost interest. A non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status when the loan is current as to principal and interest payments, is performing according to contractual terms for six consecutive months and future payments are reasonably assured.

Management actively manages impaired loans in an effort to mitigate loss to FNCB by working with customers to develop strategies to resolve borrower difficulties, through sale or liquidation of collateral, foreclosure, and other appropriate means. In addition, management monitors employment and economic conditions within FNCB’s market area, as weakening of conditions could result in real estate devaluations and an increase in loan delinquencies, which could negatively impact asset quality and cause an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses.

The following table presents information about non-performing assets and accruing TDRs at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

FNCB's asset quality was favorable during the first quarter of 2022. Total non-performing assets decreased $0.7 million, or 10.5%, to $5.9 million at March 31, 2022 from $6.6 million at December 31, 2021. The improvement which primarily reflected the payoff of one bank owned property that was held in OREO with a recorded investment of $692 thousand, while non-accrual loans were relatively constant, comparing March 31, 2022 to December 31, 2021. FNCB’s ratio of non-performing loans to total gross loans improved to 0.37% at March 31, 2022 from 0.39% at December 31, 2021. Additionally, there were no loans modified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

OREO consists of property acquired by foreclosure, abandonment or conveyance of deed in-lieu of foreclosure of a loan, and bank premises that are no longer used for operation or for future expansion. OREO is held for sale and is initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of acquisition or transfer, which establishes a new cost basis. Upon acquisition of the property through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, any adjustment to fair value less estimated selling costs is recorded to the ALLL. The determination is made on an individual asset basis. Bank premises no longer used for operations or future expansion are transferred to OREO at fair value less estimated selling costs with any related write-down included in non-interest expense. Subsequent to acquisition, valuations are periodically performed, and the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is determined through external appraisals, current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale, unless management determines that conditions exist that warrant an adjustment to the value. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the OREO properties may be capitalized; holding period costs and any subsequent changes to the valuation allowance are charged to expense as incurred. At March 31, 2022, OREO consisted of one, bank-owned commercial property with a carrying value of $228 thousand. At December 31, 2021, OREO consisted of two, bank-owned properties with an aggregate carrying value of $920 thousand. During the first quarter of 2022, FNCB sold one of the properties, a parcel of land that was previously held for future expansion. FNCB realized a gain of $3 thousand on the sale, which is included in other income in the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Other non-performing assets was comprised solely of a classified account receivable, the balance of which was $1.8 million at both March 31, 2022 and at December 31, 2021. The receivable is secured by an evergreen letter of credit that was received in 2011 as part of a settlement agreement for a large construction, land acquisition and development loan for a residential development project in the Pocono region of Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The agreement provides for payment to FNCB as real estate building lots are sold. The project was stalled due to a decline in real estate values in this area following the financial crisis of 2008. In 2019, economic development in this market area began improving and the developer for this project had resumed construction activity, including the completion of substantial infrastructure, and had increased marketing and sales initiatives related to the project. To date, no single-unit lots have been sold, however, the developer completed the construction of a seven-unit building that houses timeshare units and owners began occupying the units in the fourth quarter of 2020. In 2020, management negotiated a repayment plan with the developer. FNCB received the first payment of $127 thousand in the second quarter of 2021. Management continues to closely monitor this project and became aware that construction on a second seven-unit building has started in early 2022. While the repayment plan has commenced, economic uncertainty and volatility associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors are still unknown and could negatively impact the timing of sales and payments.

The following table presents the changes in non-performing loans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Loan foreclosures represent recorded investment at time of foreclosure not including the effect of any guarantees.

The average balance of impaired loans was $9.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. FNCB recognized $73 thousand and $78 thousand of interest income on impaired loans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The additional interest income that would have been earned on non-accrual and restructured loans had the loans been performing in accordance with their original terms for the three months ended March 31, 2022 approximated $43 thousand and $60 thousand for the same quarter of 2021.

The following table presents accruing loan delinquencies and non-accrual loans as a percentage of gross loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Loan Delinquencies and Non-Accrual Loans

	March 31,			December 31,
	2022			2021
Accruing:
30-59 days		0.17	%		0.13	%
60-89 days		0.01	%		0.03	%
90+ days		0.00	%		0.00	%
Non-accrual		0.37	%		0.39	%
Total delinquencies		0.55	%		0.55	%

FNCB's delinquency rates were relatively stable during the first quarter of 2022. Total delinquent loans, including non-accrual loans, were $5.7 million, or 0.55% of gross loans, at March 31, 2022, and $5.4 million, or 0.55% of gross loans, at December 31, 2021. The slight increase in delinquent loan balances, was due to an increase in accruing loans past due 30-59 days slightly offset by a decrease in accruing loans past due 60-89 days, while the level of non-accrual loans remained constant at $3.9 million, comparing balances at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

While FNCB's asset quality has remained favorable, management believes continued economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, supply-chain constraints and further increases in inflation and supply-chain constraints could have a negative impact on asset quality. These factors, including further disruption to economic activity due to an acceleration in COVID-19 cases, the effects of new variants, and any related actions taken to mitigate spread, could affect borrowers' ability to repay loans, which may result in increases in loan delinquencies, non-performing loans and loan charge-offs.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The ALLL represents management’s estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The ALLL is analyzed in accordance with GAAP and is maintained at a level that is based on management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the ALLL in relation to the risks inherent in the loan portfolio.

As part of its evaluation, management considers qualitative and environmental factors, including, but not limited to:

•	changes in national, local, and business economic conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments;

•	changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio;

•	changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards, collection, charge-off and recovery practices and results;

•	changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff;

•	changes in the quality of the loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Board of Directors;

•	changes in the trend of the volume and severity of past due and classified loans, including trends in the volume of non-accrual loans, TDRs and other loan modifications;

•	the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations;

•	the effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the current loan portfolio; and

•	analysis of customers’ credit quality, including knowledge of their operating environment and financial condition.

Evaluations are intrinsically subjective, as the results are estimated based on management knowledge and experience and are subject to interpretation and modification as information becomes available or as future events occur. Management monitors the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis with emphasis on weakness in both the real estate market and the economy in general and its effect on repayment. Adjustments to the ALLL are made based on management’s assessment of the factors noted above.

For purposes of management’s analysis of the ALLL, all loan relationships with an aggregate balance greater than $100 thousand that are rated substandard and non-accrual, identified as doubtful or loss, and all TDRs are considered impaired and are analyzed individually to determine the amount of impairment. Circumstances such as construction delays, declining real estate values, and the inability of the borrowers to make scheduled payments have resulted in these loan relationships being classified as impaired. FNCB utilizes the fair value of collateral method for collateral-dependent loans and TDRs for which repayment depends on the sale of collateral. For non-collateral-dependent loans and TDRs, FNCB measures impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. Regarding collateral-dependent loans, appraisals or collateral evaluations are received at least annually to ensure that impairment measurements reflect current market conditions. Should a current appraisal or collateral evaluation not be available at the time of impairment analysis, other valuation sources including current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale may be used. Only downward adjustments are made based on these supporting values. Included in all impairment calculations is a cost to sell adjustment of approximately 10%, which is based on typical cost factors, including a 6% broker commission, 1% transfer taxes and 3% various other miscellaneous costs associated with the sales process. Sales costs are periodically reviewed and revised based on actual experience. The ALLL analysis is adjusted for subsequent events that may arise after the end of the reporting period but before the financial reports are filed.

The ALLL equaled $13.1 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $12.4 million at December 31, 2021. The increase resulted from a provision for loan and lease losses of $759 thousand, offset by $46 thousand in net charge-offs for March 31, 2022. The ALLL consists of both specific and general components. The component of the ALLL that is related to impaired loans that are individually evaluated for impairment, the guidance for which is provided by ASC 310 “Impairment of a Loan” (“ASC 310”), was $18 thousand at March 31, 2022, compared to $26 thousand at December 31, 2021. A general allocation of $13.1 million was calculated for loans analyzed collectively under ASC 450 “Contingencies” (“ASC 450”), which represented nearly 100% of the total ALLL of $13.1 million. Comparatively, at December 31, 2021, the general allocation for loans collectively analyzed for impairment amounted to $12.4 million, or 99.8%, of the total ALLL. Included in the general component of the ALLL was an unallocated reserve of $1.1 million, at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Based on its evaluations, management may establish an unallocated component to cover any inherent losses that exist as of the evaluation date, but which may not have been identified under the methodology. In 2020, management adjusted the qualitative factors for the potential effect of economic and employment uncertainty and distribution due to the global pandemic into its evaluation. Based on continued economic uncertainty related to the pandemic, management believes the level of the unallocated reserve continues to be appropriate at March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, management is not aware of any asset quality deterioration and FNCB has not experienced an increase in credit losses related to the pandemic. Management continues to monitor the loan portfolio for any potential adverse impact to FNCB's asset quality. The ratio of the ALLL to total loans remained constant at 1.27% of total loans, net of net deferred loan origination fees and unearned income at both March 31, 2022 and at December 31, 2021.

Liabilities

Total liabilities consist primarily of total deposits and borrowed funds. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, total liabilities increased 9.3 million, or 0.6%, to $1.511 billion at March 31, 2022 from $1.502 billion at December 31, 2021, primarily due to the increase in borrowed funds, partially offset by a reduction in total deposits. Total deposits were $1.412 billion at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $43.4 million, or 3.0%, from $1.455 billion at December 31, 2021. Interest-bearing deposits decreased $40.9 million, or 3.6%, to $1.094 billion at March 31, 2022 from $1.135 billion at December 31, 2021. Specifically, interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $64.8 million, or 7.6%, to $793.0 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $857.8 million at December 31, 2021, which primarily reflected cyclical deposit trends of FNCB's municipal customers. Partially offsetting this decrease was a $12.4 million, or 9.2%, increase in savings deposits, coupled with a $11.5 million, or 8.1%, increase in time deposits at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. The increase in time deposits was primarily concentrated in wholesale deposits originated through the IntraFi® Network and Qwickrate, a national listing service. FNCB utilized these wholesale sources as an alternative to additional advances through the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $2.6 million, or 0.8%, to $317.5 million at March 31, 2022 from $320.1 million at December 31, 2021. Total borrowed funds increased $57.0 million, or 187.9%, to $87.3 million at March 31, 2022 from $30.3 million at December 31, 2021, which was comprised of $77.0 million in FHLB of Pittsburgh advances and $10.3 million in junior subordinated debentures.

Equity

Total shareholders’ equity decreased $24.1 million, or 14.8%, to $138.4 million at March 31, 2022 from $162.5 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in capital was primarily due to an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $17.7 million at March 31, 2022, compared to accumulated other comprehensive income of $6.3 million at December 31, 2021, which was principally caused by depreciation in the fair value of FNCB's available-for-sale debt securities, net of deferred taxes. Also contributing to the reduction in capital was $3.0 million for the repurchase of common shares and $1.5 million in dividends declared and paid for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These reductions were partially offset by net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $4.4 million. FNCB Bank's total risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 14.10% and 9.30% at March 31, 2022, respectively, compared to 14.64% and 8.92% at December 31, 2021, respectively.

On January 26, 2022, FNCB's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which up to 750,000 shares of FNCB's outstanding common stock may be acquired in the open market. Repurchases are subject to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the trading plan, and the repurchased shares will be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, FNCB repurchased 307,514 shares at a weighted-average price per share of $9.69, or $3.0 million in aggregate. There is not a guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by FNCB, and FNCB may discontinue at any time that management determines additional repurchases are no longer warranted.

The Bank's total regulatory capital increased $5.3 million to $167.3 million at March 31, 2022 from $162.0 million at December 31, 2021. FNCB Bank's total risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 14.13% and 9.30% at March 31, 2022, respectively, compared to 14.64% and 8.92% at December 31, 2021, respectively. The Bank's risk-based capital ratios exceeded the minimum regulatory capital ratios required for well capitalized under prompt corrective action regulations. Based on the most recent notification from its primary regulator, the Bank was considered well capitalized at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. There were no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would have changed this capital designation.

Liquidity

The term liquidity refers to the ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash to meet cash flow needs. Liquidity is required to fulfill the borrowing needs of FNCB’s credit customers and the withdrawal and maturity requirements of its deposit customers, as well as to meet other financial commitments. FNCB’s liquidity position is impacted by several factors, which include, among others, loan origination volumes, loan and investment maturity structure and cash flows, deposit demand and time deposit maturity structure and retention. FNCB has liquidity and contingent funding policies in place that are designed with controls in place to provide advanced detection of potentially significant funding shortfalls, establish methods for assessing and monitoring risk levels, and institute prompt responses that may alleviate a potential liquidity crisis. Management monitors FNCB’s liquidity position and fluctuations daily, forecasts future liquidity needs, performs periodic stress tests on its liquidity levels and develops strategies to ensure adequate liquidity at all times. Additionally, management regularly monitors FNCB's wholesale funding sources taking into consideration the cost of funds, diversification between funding sources and asset/liability management strategies. FNCB utilizes brokered deposits, including one-way purchases through the IntraFi® Network, deposits acquired through a national listing service, as well as overnight and term advances through the FHLB of Pittsburgh as wholesale sources of funds to supplement its deposit gathering initiatives.

Table of Contents

The statements of cash flows present the change in cash and cash equivalents from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits in other banks, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, are FNCB’s most liquid assets. At March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $24.1 million, a decrease of $74.9 million compared to $99.0 million at December 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 net cash outflows used in investing activities were only partially offset by net cash inflows provided by operating and financing activities. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $88.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Specifically, FNCB's net lending activities used $56.4 million in net cash. This cash outflow was coupled with cash used for purchases of available-for-sale debt securities of $33.9 million, $3.0 million for the purchase of bank-owned life insurance and $2.1 million on the purchase of restricted stock. Partially offsetting these outflows were cash inflows received from maturities, calls and repayments of available-for-sale debt securities totaling $11.8 million and $695 thousand from the proceeds from the sale of other real estate owned. Regarding FNCB's operating activities, net income of $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was almost entirely offset by reconciling adjustments, providing net cash of just $7 thousand. Financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 provided $9.0 million in net cash, which resulted primarily from the net proceeds from borrowed funds of $56.9 million, offset by a $43.4 million decline in total deposits coupled with $3.0 million in FNCB stock repurchases and $1.5 million in cash dividends paid.

Management is actively monitoring FNCB's liquidity position and capital adequacy in light of the changing circumstances related to economic uncertainty due to the ongoing pandemic, higher levels of inflation, rising interest rates and global implications of the war in Ukraine. While FNCB's liquidity position is favorable, management is keenly aware that changes in general economic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates and situations related to the pandemic, among others, could pose potential stress on liquidity should deposits begin exiting the Bank or FNCB's asset quality deteriorates. Additionally, FNCB could experience an increase in the utilization of existing lines of credit as customers manage their own liquidity needs during this time of economic uncertainty. Bank liquidity has returned to normal cyclical manner, placing the Bank in a borrowing position for the first quarter of 2022. Management believes FNCB's current liquidity position and available sources of liquidity were sufficient to meet its cash flow needs and fulfill its obligations at March 31, 2022. In addition to cash and cash equivalents of $24.1 million at March 31, 2022, FNCB had ample sources of additional liquidity including approximately $389.4 million in available borrowing capacity from the FHLB of Pittsburgh and $20.4 million under the borrower-in-custody program through the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. FNCB also has available unsecured federal funds lines of credit totaling $72.0 million at March 31, 2022, as well as access to various wholesale deposit markets.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to measure the FNCB’s financial position and operating results primarily in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. The primary effect of inflation on FNCB's operations is primarily related to increases in operating expenses. Management considers changes in interest rates to impact our financial condition and results of operations to a far greater degree than changes in prices due to inflation. Although interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. FNCB manages interest rate risk in several ways. Refer to “Interest Rate Risk” in Item 3 for further discussion. There can be no assurance that FNCB will not be materially adversely affected by future changes in interest rates, as interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond its control. Additionally, inflation may adversely impact the financial condition of FNCB's borrowers and could impact their ability to repay their loans, which could negatively affect FNCB's asset quality through higher delinquency rates and increased charge-offs. Management will carefully consider the impact of inflation and rising interest rates on FNCB borrowers in managing credit risk related to the loan and lease portfolio.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Market risk is the risk to earnings and/or financial position resulting from adverse changes in market rates or prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates or equity prices. FNCB’s exposure to market risk is primarily interest rate risk associated with our lending, investing and deposit gathering activities, all of which are other than trading. Changes in interest rates affect earnings by changing net interest income and the level of other interest-sensitive income and operating expenses. In addition, variations in interest rates affect the underlying economic value of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items.

LIBOR Replacement

The Alternative Reference Rates Committee ("ARRC") had proposed that the Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR") replace USD-LIBOR, with the transition to SOFR from USD-LIBOR to take place by the end of 2021. FNCB has various loans, investments, borrowings and interest rate swap contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBOR. On November 30, 2020 the ICE Benchmark Administration ("IBA"), which complies and oversees LIBOR, announced its intention to extend most of the USD-LIBOR tenors to June 30, 2023, with U.S. banking regulators supporting the extension. As of December 31, 2021, most LIBOR tenors, with the exception of the overnight, 1-,3-, 6- and 12-month LIBOR tenors which have been extended through June 30, 2023, have ceased to be published. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2022, no new financial instruments can be written with terms tied to LIBOR. FNCB has various loans, investments, borrowings and interest rate swap contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBOR, and management is actively monitoring its LIBOR exposures and evaluating any risks involved.

Asset and Liability Management

The ALCO, comprised of members of the Bank's board of directors, executive management and other appropriate officers, oversees FNCB's interest rate risk management program. Members of ALCO meet quarterly, or more frequently as necessary, to develop balance sheet strategies affecting the future level of net interest income, liquidity and capital. The major objectives of ALCO are to:

The major objectives of ALCO are to:

●

manage exposure to changes in the interest rate environment by limiting the changes in net interest margin to an acceptable level within a reasonable range of interest rates;

●

ensure adequate liquidity and funding;

●

maintain a strong capital base; and

●

maximize net interest income opportunities.

FNCB utilizes the pricing and structure of loans and deposits, the size and duration of the investment securities portfolio, the size and duration of the wholesale funding portfolio, and off-balance sheet interest rate contracts to manage interest rate risk. The off-balance sheet interest rate contracts may include interest rate swaps, caps and floors. These interest rate contracts involve, to varying degrees, credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur if a counterparty to a transaction fails to perform according to terms of the contract. The notional amount of the interest rate contracts is the amount upon which interest and other payments are based. The notional amount is not exchanged, and therefore, should not be taken as a measure of credit risk.

ALCO monitors FNCB’s exposure to changes in net interest income over both a one-year planning horizon and a longer-term strategic horizon. ALCO uses net interest income simulations and economic value of equity (“EVE”) simulations as the primary tools in measuring and managing FNCB’s position and considers balance sheet forecasts, FNCB's liquidity position, the economic environment, anticipated direction of interest rates and FNCB’s earnings sensitivity to changes in these rates in its modeling. In addition, ALCO has established policy tolerance limits for acceptable negative changes in net interest income. Furthermore, as part of its ongoing monitoring, ALCO requires quarterly back testing of modeling results, which involves after-the-fact comparisons of projections with FNCB’s actual performance to measure the validity of assumptions used in the modeling techniques.

Earnings at Risk and Economic Value at Risk Simulations

Earnings at Risk

Earnings-at-risk simulation measures the change in net interest income and net income under various interest rate scenarios. Specifically, given the current market rates, ALCO looks at “earnings at risk” to determine anticipated changes in net interest income from a base case scenario with scenarios of +200, +400, and -100 basis points for simulation purposes. The simulation takes into consideration that not all assets and liabilities re-price equally and simultaneously with market rates (i.e., savings rate).

Economic Value at Risk

While earnings-at-risk simulation measures the short-term risk in the balance sheet, economic value (or portfolio equity) at risk measures the long-term risk by finding the net present value of the future cash flows from FNCB’s existing assets and liabilities. ALCO examines this ratio regularly, and given the current rate environment, has utilized rate shocks of +200, +400, and -100 basis points for simulation purposes. Management recognizes that, in some instances, this ratio may contradict the “earnings at risk” ratio.

While ALCO regularly performs a wide variety of simulations under various strategic balance sheet and treasury yield curve scenarios, the following results reflect FNCB’s sensitivity over the subsequent twelve months based on the following assumptions:

●

asset and liability levels using March 31, 2022 as a starting point;

●

cash flows are based on contractual maturity and amortization schedules with applicable prepayments derived from internal historical data and external sources; and

cash flows are reinvested into similar instruments so as to keep interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability levels constant.

The following table illustrates the simulated impact of parallel and instantaneous interest rate shocks of +400 basis points, +200 basis points, and -100 basis points on net interest income and the change in economic value over a one-year time horizon from the March 31, 2022 levels:

	Rates +200						Rates +400						Rates -100
	Simulation Results			Policy Limit			Simulation Results			Policy Limit			Simulation Results			Policy Limit
Earnings at risk:
Percent change in net interest income		(7.9	)%		(12.5	)%		(14.8	)%		(20.0	)%		(4.6	)%		(10.0	)%

Economic value at risk:

Model results from the simulation at March 31, 2022 indicated that FNCB was liability sensitive in the near term, exhibiting some interest sensitivity to changes in interest rates over the next twelve months. According to the model results at March 31, 2022, in comparison to the base case, net interest income is expected to decrease 7.9% under a +200-basis point interest rate shock. Additionally, under a parallel shift in interest rates of +200 basis points, FNCB's economic value of equity ("EVE") is expected to decrease 8.5%. Comparatively, model results at December 31, 2021 estimated decreases in net interest income and EVE of 4.1% and 3.0% under a +200-basis point interest rate shock. The increase in exposure primarily reflected the change in FNCB's liquidity position from having excess cash at December 31, 2021 to a borrowing position at March 31, 2022. All modeled exposures to net interest income and EVE for the next twelve-month horizon are within internal ALCO policy guidelines. Additionally, included in the model was the assumptions that FNCB would receive forgiveness for remaining PPP loans outstanding at March 31, 2022 and recognize the associated loan origination fees to interest income during the first six month of the model. Accordingly, results of model project a decrease to net interest income in the second half of Year 1 of the model based on these assumptions.

In response to the recent increase in inflation caused by continued economic uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, global supply-chain constraints and the war in the Ukraine, among other factors, the FOMC raised the federal funds target rate 25 basis points on March 16, 2022 and indicated that additional rate increases would likely be necessary to control inflation. Model results at March 31, 2022 indicate that FNCB's asset/liability position becomes asset sensitive in Years 3-5 of the model, which would imply that net interest income would benefit from rising interest rates. This analysis does not represent a forecast for FNCB and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These simulations are based on numerous assumptions, including but not limited to, the nature and timing of interest rate levels, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacements of asset and liability cash flows, and other factors. While assumptions reflect current economic and local market conditions, FNCB cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions, including changes in interest rates, customer preferences, competition and liquidity needs, or what actions ALCO might take in responding to these changes.

As previously mentioned, as part of its ongoing monitoring, ALCO requires quarterly back testing of modeling results, which involves after-the-fact comparisons of projections with FNCB’s actual performance to measure the validity of assumptions used in the modeling techniques. As part of its quarterly review, management compared tax-equivalent net interest income recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022 with tax-equivalent net interest income that was projected for the same three-month period. There was a positive variance between actual and projected tax-equivalent net interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 of approximately $159 thousand, or 1.25%. The variance primarily reflected additional loan growth actually experienced over that used in the model. ALCO performs a detailed rate/volume analysis between actual and projected results in order to continue to improve the accuracy of its simulation models.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of operations, FNCB engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements or are recorded in amounts that differ from the notional amounts. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Such transactions may be used for general corporate purposes or for customer needs. Corporate purpose transactions would be used to help manage credit, interest rate and liquidity risk or to optimize capital. Customer transactions are used to manage customers’ requests for funding.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, FNCB did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions that would have or would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition.

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in FNCB’s exposure to market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2022. For discussion of FNCB’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contained in FNCB’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

FNCB’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of FNCB’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, FNCB’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded FNCB’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.

There were no changes made to FNCB’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, FNCB’s internal control over financial reporting.
