CNB also successfully closed its previously announced acquisition of Lake National Bank ("LNB") on July 15, 2016. Under the terms of the merger agreement, LNB merged with and into CNB Bank, with CNB Bank being the surviving corporation of the merger.

Joseph B. Bower, Jr., President and CEO, commented, "CNB has a recent history of rapid growth and great earnings. In recognizing how fast we have grown over the past five years, we made a conscious decision to evaluate our entire infrastructure. We decided it was time to add additional resources and change our core processor. In doing this, we know that in the short term, earnings will be impacted, but the changes will positively enhance our market position and earnings capabilities. As we are organized today, we are ready to realize the potential of our newer markets in Columbus, Cleveland, and Buffalo."

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis was 3.70% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 3.72% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Net accretion included in loan interest income in the first six months of 2016 related to acquired loans was $348 thousand, resulting in an increase in the net interest margin of 4 basis points. Net accretion included in loan interest income in the first six months of 2015 related to acquired loans was $1.3 million, resulting in an increase in the net interest margin of 13 basis points.

During 2015 and the first six months of 2016, CNB experienced continued pressure on its net interest margin as a result of loans repricing downward and new loans with market yields significantly below historical averages, which is consistent with the trends across the financial services industry in this historically low interest rate environment. Throughout the current interest rate cycle, CNB has been able to gradually lower its cost of funds, primarily through disciplined deposit pricing. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 68 basis points during the first six months of 2016, compared to 71 basis points during the first six months of 2015.

Asset Quality

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, CNB recorded a provision for loan losses of $220 thousand and $1.4 million, as compared to a provision for loan losses of $486 thousand and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Net chargeoffs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were $970 thousand and $2.2 million, as compared to $664 thousand and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

The increase in chargeoffs was primarily attributable to consumer loans held in CNB's consumer discount company, Holiday Financial Services Corporation. There were no new impaired commercial loan relationships that required a significant loss reserve in the first six months of 2016. The overall decrease in the provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015 primarily reflects lower historical loss rates in the commercial & industrial, commercial real estate, and residential real estate portfolio segments.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $4.4 million and $7.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $4.1 million and $7.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. In the second quarter of 2016, CNB realized gains on the sale of available-for-sale securities in the amount of $1.0 million, including $922 thousand on the sale of two structured pooled trust preferred securities that had no carrying value due to other-than-temporary impairment charges recorded in previous periods.

Non-Interest Expenses

Total non-interest expenses were $18.3 million and $32.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $14.1 million and $27.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Throughout 2015 and the first six months of 2016, CNB made numerous infrastructure, personnel, and other investments to facilitate its continued growth. In order to better serve our customers and to achieve operational efficiencies, CNB completed a core processing system upgrade in May 2016. Included in non-interest expenses in 2016 were $3.3 million of non-recurring items, with merger related expenses of $227, costs associated with our core processing system upgrade of $1.6 million, and a prepayment penalty associated with the early payoff of long-term borrowings of $1.5 million. The borrowings totaled $40 million and carried interest rates ranging from 3.97% to 4.60%, and the resulting interest expense savings are projected at $870 thousand for 2016 and $1.0 million for 2017.

Salaries and benefits expenses increased $1.3 million, or 8.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, CNB had 453 full-time equivalent staff, compared to 430 full-time equivalent staff as of June 30, 2015. The staff added during this period included both customer-facing personnel such as business development and wealth management officers, as well as support department personnel.

* - Tangible common equity, tangible assets and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures calculated using GAAP amounts. Tangible common equity is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of stockholders' equity. Tangible assets is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of total assets. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by the number of shares outstanding. CNB believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors that is useful in understanding its financial condition. Because not all companies use the same calculation of tangible common equity and tangible assets, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures calculated by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per share data).
** - Nonperforming TDR loans are also included in the balance of non-accrual loans in the previous table.
