SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

CNB Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") is headquartered in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, and provides a full range of banking and related services through its wholly owned subsidiary, CNB Bank (the "Bank"). In addition, the Bank provides wealth and asset management services, including the administration of trusts and estates, retirement plans, and other employee benefit plans as well as a full range of wealth management services. The Bank serves individual and corporate customers and is subject to competition from other financial institutions and intermediaries with respect to these services. In addition to the Bank, the Corporation also operates a consumer discount loan and finance business through its wholly owned subsidiary, Holiday Financial Services Corporation ("Holiday"). The Corporation and its other subsidiaries are subject to examination by federal and state regulators. The Corporation’s market area is primarily concentrated in the Central and Northwest regions of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Central and Northeast regions of the state of Ohio, Western New York and Southwest Virginia.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC and in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Because this report is based on an interim period, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

In the opinion of management of the registrant, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and the results of operations for the periods presented. The financial performance reported for the Corporation for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. This information should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Form 10-K"). Certain amounts appearing in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported. Dollar amounts in tables are stated in thousands, except for per share amounts.

Risks and Uncertainties

The worldwide spread of COVID-19 has created significant uncertainty in the global economy. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the related government responses impact the Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

The Corporation's business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. If the global response to contain the COVID-19 pandemic requires further restrictive measures or is unsuccessful, the Corporation could experience a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Since the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts its operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, the Corporation cannot estimate the impact on its business, financial condition or near or long-term financial or operational results with reasonable certainty. Accordingly, the Corporation is disclosing potentially material items of which it is aware.

Use of Estimates

To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided and future results could differ.

Operating Segments

While the Corporation monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Corporation-wide basis, and operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments are similar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Debt Securities

Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the settlement date and determined using the specific identification method.

The Corporation has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of debt securities and report accrued interest separately in accrued interest receivable and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become more than 90 days delinquent or if full collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain. Accrued interest for a security placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. There was no accrued interest related to debt securities reversed against interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
