 DUNMORE, Pa., April 30, 2021 GLOBE NEWSWIRE -- FNCB Bancorp, Inc. NASDAQ: FNCB; the parent company of Dunmore-based FNCB Bank the Bank, collectively, FNCB today reported net income of 5.8 million, or 0.29 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of 3.7 million, or 182.7 from 2.1 million, or 0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the same three months of 2020. The increase in earnings comparing the first quarters of 2021 and 2020 was primarily due to a 2.2 million, or 24.2, increase in net interest income, a 1.1 million, or 63.8, increase in non-interest income, and a 1.0 million, or 83.8, reduction in the provision for loan and lease losses. These positive factors were partially offset by an 0.5 million, or 117.0, increase in income tax expense, which was due to the higher level of pre-tax net income.
