Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On July 23, 2025, CNB Financial Corporation (“CNB”) completed its previously announced merger with ESSA Bancorp, Inc. (“ESSA”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 9, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CNB, CNB Bank (“CNB Bank”), ESSA, and ESSA Bank & Trust (“ESSA Bank”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, (i) ESSA merged with and into CNB, with CNB being the surviving entity, and (ii) ESSA Bank merged with and into CNB Bank, with CNB Bank being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each share of ESSA common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.8547 shares of CNB common stock, with cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 are based on the historical financial statements of CNB and ESSA after giving effect to the Meger. The Meger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”).

The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are provided for illustrative information purposes only. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and combine the historical consolidated financial position and results of operations of CNB and ESSA using the acquisition method of accounting and giving effect to the related pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The adjustments include those that management deemed necessary for a fair statement of the pro forma information presented. The adjustments include forward-looking information that is subject to the safe harbor protections of the Exchange Act, and actual results could differ materially from what is presented below as efforts to integrate ESSA’s operations into CNB’s progress.

The acquisition of ESSA will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The total purchase price will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their respective fair values. CNB has not finalized the detailed valuation analysis necessary to determine the fair values of ESSA’s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed, and as such, estimates have been used. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data include an estimated allocation of the purchase price. Any changes to ESSA’s shareholders’ equity, including results of operations and certain balance sheet changes from March 31, 2025 through the date the Meger is completed will also change the purchase price allocation, which may include the recording of a lower or higher amount of goodwill.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the following consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of CNB and ESSA for the applicable periods, as well as any other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this filing:

 

   

CNB’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, which were included in CNB’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and filed with the SEC on March 6, 2025;

 

   

CNB’s unaudited financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which were included in CNB’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and filed with the SEC on May 7, 2025;

 

   

ESSA’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, which were included in ESSA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, and filed with the SEC on December 13, 2024; and

 

   

ESSA’s unaudited financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, which were included in ESSA’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, and filed with the SEC on February 10, 2025 and February 13, 2024, respectively. Certain reclassifications were made to ESSA’s historical financial information for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and three months ended March 31, 2025 to conform to CNB’s presentation of financial information.


The pro forma information does not reflect opportunities to earn additional revenue or anticipated cost savings. Included in the pro forma information are divestiture adjustments related to branch rationalization plans. These divestiture adjustments assume the divestiture occurred as of March 31, 2025 on the balance sheet and January 1, 2024 for the statements of income and include the sale of approximately $94.1 million in deposits.

The pro forma information does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings, which are expected to be attributable to ESSA’s non-interest expenses. CNB management believes adjusting net income and earnings per share for these expected cost savings for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, would enhance the understanding of the pro forma information shown below. The impact of these adjustments on net income and earnings per share are included in the Footnotes to Unaudited Pro Forma Income Statements.

All significant pro forma adjustments and underlying assumptions are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 give effect to the Meger as if it occurred on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Meger as if it occurred on March 31, 2025. Certain sub-totals and totals may not foot due to rounding.

The unaudited pro forma shareholders’ equity and net income are qualified by the statements set forth under this caption and should not be considered indicative of the market value of CNB common stock or the actual or future results of operations of CNB for any period. Actual results may be materially different than the pro forma information presented.
