In determining rankings, S&P Global Market Intelligence emphasized factors such as liquidity, low cost of funds and profitability. LSNB ranked in the top 20th percentile among 200 banks which qualified to be reviewed, surpassing the median for all eligible banks in the metrics analyzed.

LSNB achieved a return on average assets before tax and extraordinary items, standing at 1.54% for the year.
