$7,049,000 , which is an increase of$1,968,000 or38.7% over comparable period results for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

This reflects a decrease of$5,327,000 or22.5% below comparable period results for the year ended December 31, 2019, and is due primarily to one-time merger-related expenses of$5,965,000 in connection with the Frederick County Bancorp, Inc. (FCBI) acquisition and a higher provision for loan losses of$9,140,000 resulting mainly from the increased risk due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as well as a previously-reported, large unanticipated charge-off of one loan relationship during the first quarter of 2020. Without the nonrecurring expenses related to the acquisition of FCBI, in conjunction with the corresponding tax impact at the marginal tax rate, net income (non-GAAP) would have been$23,033,000 , or$2.67 b asic earnings per share, for the year ended December 31, 2020. - Effective January 11, 2020, ACNB Corporation acquired FCBI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Frederick County Bank, headquartered in Frederick, MD, with systems conversions completed in March 2020.

“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a primary driver in how we do our business today---nearly a year after this national emergency changed how we interact in both our personal and professional lives. However, due to the unceasing dedication and hard work of our team members at ACNB Corporation’s subsidiaries of ACNB Bank and Russell Insurance Group, Inc., our organization continues to successfully navigate the many challenges encountered in serving our customers and communities during this ongoing health crisis,” said James P. Helt, ACNB Corporation President & Chief Executive Officer. “Operationally, ACNB Corporation has been diligent in its response to the changing impacts of the pandemic with necessary modifications in the community banking office network, as well as continual steps to reinforce systems to accommodate heightened customer demands for electronic services and to support the remote work environment for staff members. Financially, this pandemic has taken a toll on the economy with many businesses struggling after government actions were taken for the purpose of limiting the spread of the virus in both the Corporation’s Pennsylvania and Maryland markets. As of year-end 2020, however, the trend was overall positive with lessened volume of customer requests for loan modifications and deferrals since the initial requests at the onset of the pandemic. Plus, with the signing of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act in late December 2020, there are now additional government stimulus programs providing economic aid to consumers and small businesses---including the reopening of the Paycheck Protection Program for first-time and second-time borrowers, in which ACNB Bank is again participating to assist business customers.”
Mr. Helt continued, “As we begin a new year, there is no doubt that there is still uncertainty ahead. At ACNB Corporation, as always, we continue to look forward and plan for the future founded upon our vision to be the independent financial services provider of choice in the core markets served by building relationships and finding solutions. This vision has been validated and reinforced in the past as ACNB Corporation faced difficult times and made hard decisions over the decades. This time is no different, as we take deliberate steps forward for the benefit of customers, employees, shareholders, and the many communities served throughout our footprint.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
ACNB Corporation uses non-GAAP financial measures to provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. The non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators we use may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to measure their performance and trends.
Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the event of such a disclosure or release, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Regulation G requires: (i) the presentation of the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and (ii) a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure presented and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this release.

These charges principally represent expenses to satisfy contractual obligations of the acquired entity, without any useful benefit to us, to convert and consolidate the entity’s records, systems and data onto our platforms, and professional fees related to the transaction. These costs are specific to each individual transaction and may vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the transaction.
