REVIEW OF RESULTS

Balance Sheet

Loans

Loans increased $32.5 million from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, an annualized growth rate of 7.8 percent, with increases noted in commercial loans of 41.8 percent annualized growth and commercial real estate of 7.1 percent annualized growth.   Nonperforming assets increased $3.4 million, or 85.0 percent to $7.4 million from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024.   The increase was the result of several loans that exhibited deterioration during the quarter. The Bank continues to proactively manage credit quality.     

Investment Securities

Investment Securities decreased $10.3 million to $339.5 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $349.8 million at December 31, 2023 due to maturities and paydowns. The tax-equivalent yield on securities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 2.93 percent, compared to 2.68 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2.84 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The unrealized loss on the securities portfolio was $43.0 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $40.4 million at March 31, 2023 and $40.6 million at December 31, 2023.

Borrowings

FHLB advances and other short-term borrowings decreased $26.2 million to $30.3 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $56.5 million at December 31, 2023.   FHLB advances and other short-term borrowings decreased $31.1 million or 50.6 percent from $61.4 million at March 31, 2023.

Deposits

From December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, total Deposits increased $41.7 million, or an annualized growth pace of 8.8 percent, ending the period at $1.92 billion; noninterest-bearing accounts decreased $13.9 million or 3.7 percent; and interest-bearing accounts increased $55.7 million or 3.7 percent. The growth in interest-bearing accounts during the period was primarily attributed to time deposits, which increased $39.7 million or 8.8 percent and money market accounts, which increased $16.5 million or 2.6 percent. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased to 2.86 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to 1.43 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and 2.59 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. As anticipated, the Corporation experienced downward pressure on net interest margin over the past year due to the cost of deposits and the slope of the interest rate curve.

Income Statement

The Corporation’s net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $17.6 million, a decrease of 14.2 percent when compared to $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and a decrease of 8.0 percent when compared to $19.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023.   The Corporation’s tax-equivalent net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.34 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 4.00 percent for the same period in 2023 and 3.61 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

The Corporation’s provision for credit losses, which includes provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $116,000 compared to $738,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and a reversal of provision for credit losses of $767,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.   The Corporation’s ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and foreclosed real estate was 0.42 percent at March 31, 2024, a 23.6 percent decrease from the nonperforming assets ratio of 0.55 percent at March 31, 2023 and an 82.6 percent increase from the nonperforming assets ratio of 0.23 at December 31, 2023.     

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $4.2 million, an increase of $196,000 or 4.9 percent, compared to noninterest income of $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and a decrease of $64,000 or 1.5 percent compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023.   The increase in the current quarter compared to the prior year, was primarily due to a loss on sales of securities in the first quarter 2023, offset by lower other income related to swap fees.  

Noninterest expense was $16.3 million for the first quarter 2024, an increase of $1.5 million or 9.8 percent, as compared to noninterest expense of $14.8 million for the first quarter 2023 and a decrease of $1.0 million or 5.9 percent compared to noninterest expense of $17.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.   During the fourth quarter 2023, the Corporation announced it has entered into an agreement to merge with Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, merger-related expenses totaled $118,000 and $956,000, respectively, which included due diligence costs, legal expenses and investment banking expenses related to delivery of a fairness opinion to its Board of Directors. The Corporation expects to incur additional merger-related expenses in 2024 as it works toward consummation of the merger with Orrstown and the related merger and integration of PeoplesBank with and into Orrstown Bank. In addition to merger-related expenses, noninterest expense was impacted in the current period by higher other expense due to a reversal of expense in the prior year.  

Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $1.2 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2023 and $1.4 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2023.   The effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2023 was 21.8 percent, 22.2 percent and 20.8 percent, respectively.     

Capital

Shareholders’ equity totaled $201.0 million at March 31, 2024, an increase of $1.4 million from $199.6 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to net income of $4.3 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $1.6 million during the year. Other changes are related to accumulated other comprehensive loss and issuance of treasury stock.

Book value per share was $20.80 and $20.70 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Tangible book value per share and tangible book value per share without accumulated other comprehensive loss ⁽¹⁾ was $20.56 per share and $23.97 per share, respectively, at March 31, 2024 from $20.46 per share and $23.68 per share, respectively, at December 31, 2023, primarily the result of changes in shareholders’ equity discussed above. The Corporation’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 12.85 percent at March 31, 2024, an increase from 12.79 percent at December 31, 2023.   At March 31, 2024, all capital ratios applicable to the Bank were above regulatory minimum levels and the Bank met the “well-capitalized” criteria under current bank regulatory guidelines. (Note that the regulatory “well-capitalized” definition is not applicable to small bank holding companies such as the Corporation).

Liquidity Risk Management

The Bank maintains a well-diversified deposit base and has a comparatively low level of uninsured deposits. At March 31, 2024, 84% of the Bank’s deposits were estimated to be FDIC-insured, and an additional 7% of deposits were fully collateralized.         

The overall deposit and liquidity position of the Bank and the Corporation remain positive, with overall deposits exceeding the level at December 31, 2019, the start of the pandemic, by $324.5 million or 20.4 percent.

The Bank is a member of the IntraFi Network®, which provides reciprocal deposit alternatives allowing our clients to have the benefit of additional FDIC insurance coverage, and assisting the Bank in the management of its liquidity needs.

Dividend Declared

On April 9, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Corporation declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share, payable on May 14, 2024 to common shareholders of record at the close of business on May 7, 2024.
