First National Corp. reports Q2 adjusted EPS 57c vs 48c last year

“We are extremely pleased with our performance in the second quarter as we begin to realize the value of our recently completed acquisition of the Touchstone franchise. Earnings improved over the prior quarter and the previous year due to net interest margin expansion and our improved efficiency as a combined company. While growth was muted due to higher than average loan payoff volumes and our focus on managing deposit pricing, this discipline delivered on improved earnings, strong liquidity and capital growth,” said Scott Harvard, President and Chief Executive Officer of First National.
