<u>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</u>

#### QNB CORP. REPORTS

#### EARNINGS FOR FOURTH QUARTER 2022
**QUAKERTOWN, PA (January 24, 2023) QNB Corp. (the "Company" or "QNB") (OTC Bulletin Board: QNBC), the parent company of QNB Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 of $5,447,000, or $1.52 per share on a diluted basis. This compares to net income of $4,149,000, or $1.17 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2021. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, QNB reported net income of $15,921,000, or $4.47 per share on a diluted basis. This compares to net income of $16,492,000 or $4.64 per share on a diluted basis, reported for the same period in 2021.**

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the annualized rate of return on average assets and average shareholders' equity was 1.24% and 14.38%, respectively, compared with 0.98% and 11.82%, respectively, for the fourth quarter 2021.

The operating performance of the Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QNB Corp., improved for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, in comparison with the same period in 2021 due to growth in net interest income and the reversal of $850,000 in provision loan losses. The change in contribution from QNB Corp. for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared with the same period in 2021, is primarily due to the change in fair value of the equities portfolio held at the holding company.

The following table presents disaggregated net income:

Total assets as of December 31, 2022 were $1,668,497,000 compared with $1,673,340,000 at December 31, 2021. Total available-for-sale debt securities decreased $145,835,000, or 21.1%, to $546,525,000, due primarily to the reduction in fair value of the portfolio, in response to the rise in interest rates during the period. The Bank participated in both rounds of the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). Loans receivable, excluding PPP, grew $124,470,000 to approximately $1,037,095,000 since December 31, 2021. Total deposits decreased $31,376,000 to $1,418,369,000. Short-term borrowing grew $92,851,000 to support loan growth.

------

"2022 ended well with continued solid performance results and growth at the Bank. Our earnings were the direct result of our core banking operations and were not supported by gains on the sale of investments, as in 2021," stated David W. Freeman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, continuing, "the quarter also showed improvement in net interest income and improved margins. Plus, loan outstandings, fueled by commercial growth, exceeded one billion for the first time in the bank's history."

#### Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 totaled $11,279,000 and $44,497,000, respectively, an increase of $471,000 and $2,370,000, respectively, from the same periods in 2021. Net interest margin was 2.68% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the same period in 2021. Net interest margin was 2.71% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared with 2.79% for the same period in 2021.

The yield on earning assets was 3.49% for the fourth quarter 2022 compared with 2.95% in the fourth quarter of 2021. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2022, the yield on earning assets was 3.18%, compared with 3.09% for the same period in 2021. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.03% for the quarter and 0.60% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared with 0.35% and 0.39% for the same periods in 2021.

Proceeds from average deposit growth, PPP loan forgiveness and short-term borrowings over the past year were invested in loans. Loan growth was primarily in commercial real estate, which comprised 38% of average earning assets in the twelve months of 2022 compared with 36% for the same period in 2021 and was the major contributor to the 11 basis-point increase in the yield on loans. Growth in the available-for-sale portfolio was primarily in mortgage-backed securities, which comprised 27% of average earnings assets in the twelve months of 2022 compared with 23% for the same period in 2021. This increase in marketable securities as a percent of earnings assets also contributed to the increase in net interest margin.

#### Asset Quality, Provision for Loan Loss and Allowance for Loan Loss
QNB reversed $850,000 in provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to no provision in the fourth of quarter 2021. QNB received over $1,000,000 in payments on a non-performing loan during the fourth quarter of 2022. QNB's allowance for loan losses of $10,531,000 represents 1.01% of loans receivable at December 31, 2022, compared to $11,184,000, or 1.21% of loans receivable at December 31, 2021, and $10,826,000, or 1.18% of loans receivable at December 31, 2020. Excluding the PPP loans, which are expected to be fully forgiven within the next several months and are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, the allowance represents 1.02% of loans receivable. Net loan recoveries were $43,000 and $197,000 for the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared with charge-offs of $30,000 and $100,000 for the same periods in 2021, respectively. Annualized net loan recoveries for the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 were both 0.02% of average loans receivable.

Total non-performing loans, which represent loans on non-accrual status, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and restructured loans, were $9,121,000, or 0.88% of loans receivable at December 31, 2022, compared with $11,672,000, or 1.26% of loans receivable at December 31, 2021, and $14,109,000, or 1.53% of loans receivable at December 31, 2020.

------

Commercial loans classified as substandard or doubtful loans totaled $13,684,000 at December 31, 2022, compared with $18,531,000 reported at December 31, 2021, and $22,193,000 at December 31, 2020.
