Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Norwood Financial Corp used its 2026 annual shareholders’ meeting presentation to showcase growth, profitability and capital strength for community bank Wayne Bank. The company reported total assets of $2.9 billion, total gross loans of $2.2 billion, total deposits of $2.4 billion and total equity of $284 million as of December 31, 2025, excluding the Presence Bank acquisition.

For 2025, net interest margin increased 52 basis points, helped by a portfolio repositioning completed in December 2024, while the efficiency ratio declined, reflecting improved interest income. The bank remains well capitalized, with total risk-based capital of 13.06% in 2025 versus a 10% “well capitalized” threshold, and operating expenses to average assets of 2.07% in Q4 2025, lower than national and local peers.

The presentation highlights record Q1 2026 net interest income and stronger margins, including a net interest spread of 3.04%, net interest margin of 3.68%, adjusted return on assets of 1.10% and adjusted return on tangible equity of 12.65%, all year-over-year improvements. Norwood also emphasizes shareholder returns, with a dividend yield of 4.2% as of April 23, 2026, a 2025 dividend per share of $1.24, 34 consecutive years of dividend increases, and a share repurchase program authorizing buybacks of up to 5% of outstanding shares, under which over 10,000 shares were repurchased in 2025.

Insights

Norwood shows stronger margins, solid capital and consistent shareholder returns.

Norwood Financial Corp presents a picture of a growing community bank with improving profitability. Total assets reached $2.9B, with total gross loans of $2.2B and deposits of $2.4B as of December 31, 2025, excluding the Presence Bank acquisition.

Profitability metrics improved meaningfully. Net interest margin rose 52 bps in 2025 following a portfolio repositioning, and Q1 2026 showed record net interest income, a net interest spread of 3.04%, net interest margin of 3.68%, adjusted ROA of 1.10% and adjusted ROTE of 12.65%, all up year over year.

Capital and efficiency remain strong. Total risk-based capital of 13.06% in 2025 sits comfortably above the 10% “well capitalized” benchmark, and Q4 2025 operating expenses to average assets of 2.07% compare favorably with national and local peers. Shareholder returns are supported by a 4.2% dividend yield as of April 23, 2026, $1.24 in 2025 dividends and 34 consecutive annual dividend increases.

net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin increased 52 basis points in 2025, with second-half higher than the first-half"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
efficiency ratio financial
"Our Efficiency Ratio decreased in 2025 due to improved interest income"
A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.
total risk-based capital financial
"Total Risk-Based Capital 13.66% 13.58% 13.45% 13.41% 13.06%"
The total amount of capital a regulated financial firm must hold as a cushion against losses, measured relative to how risky its loans and investments are. Think of it as a household emergency fund sized to match how many and how risky the bills and debts are; the bigger and riskier the obligations, the more capital is required. Investors watch this metric because it signals a firm's ability to absorb losses, meet regulatory requirements, pay dividends, and support growth without needing outside help.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures."
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Russell 2000 Index financial
"Rejoined the Russell 2000 Index in 2023"
A stock-market benchmark that tracks about 2,000 small-cap U.S. companies, the Russell 2000 gives a snapshot of how smaller publicly traded firms are performing. Investors use it like a thermometer or yardstick for the small-company segment of the market—funds and portfolio managers compare returns to it, and its movements can signal changes in economic risk appetite or growth expectations; it is weighted so larger small companies have a bigger influence on the index.

Forward -looking Statements and Additional Information 2 65 86 246 This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that are made by Norwood Financial Corp (“Norwood”). All statements other than statements of historical 198 fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including all statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Norwood and members of its board of directors and senior 47 management teams. Investors and security holders are cautioned that such statements are predictions, and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual events or results may differ materially. Expected financial results or other plans are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to assess and are subject to change based on factors which are, in many 237 instances, beyond Norwood’s control. 155 Additional risks and uncertainties may include, but are not limited to, the risk that expected cost savings, revenue synergies and other financial benefits from the recently completed merger with PB Bankshares, 33 Inc. (“PB Bankshares”) may not be realized or take longer than expected to realize; the merger may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; the integration of PB Bankshares’ business and operations with those of Norwood may take longer than anticipated, may be more costly than anticipated and may have unanticipated adverse results relating to 66 Norwood’s existing businesses; the anticipated cost savings and other synergies of the merger may take longer to be realized or may not be achieved in their entirety, and attrition in key client, partner and other 145 relationships relating to the merger may be greater than expected; the ability to achieve anticipated merger-related operational efficiencies; the ability to enhance revenue through increased market penetration, 185 expanded lending capacity and product offerings; changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal Reserve Board and the U. S. Government, particularly related to changes in interest rates; changes in general economic conditions, especially the effects of current fluctuations in tariff policies, impacts of workforce deportations, the proliferation of legal actions challenging government policies, and substantial 147 reductions in force of government and non-government organization employees, all of which may put pressure on supply chains and exacerbate market volatility; occurrence of natural or man-made disasters or 97 calamities, including health emergencies, the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics or outbreaks of hostilities, or the effects of climate change, and the ability of Norwood and its customers to deal effectively 81 with disruptions caused by the foregoing; legislative or regulatory changes; downturn in demand for loan, deposit and other financial services in our market area; increased competition from other banks and non- bank providers of financial services; technological changes and increased technology-related costs; and changes in accounting principles, or the application of generally accepted accounting principles. 209 218 For further information regarding these risks and uncertainties and additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see the forward-looking 221 statement disclosure contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as well as the other documents subsequently filed by Norwood with the Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov). Due to these and other possible uncertainties and risks, Norwood can give no assurance that the results contemplated in the forward-looking statements will be realized, and readers 241 are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. Forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to Norwood, and Norwood 231 assumes no obligation and disclaim any intent to update any such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, express or implied, included in the presentation are qualified in their entirety by this 217 cautionary statement. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES 245 In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Norwood believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information 156 that is useful to investors in helping to understand underlying financial performance and condition and trends of Norwood. 170 Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious with respect to the use of such measures. To compensate for these limitations, non- 40 GAAP measures are used as comparative tools, together with GAAP measures, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance or financial condition. These measures are also calculated using the appropriate 171 GAAP or regulatory components in their entirety and are computed in a manner intended to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. Norwood’s method of calculating these non-GAAP measures may 117 differ from methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute or an alternative for those financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP or in-effect regulatory requirements. Numbers in this presentation may not sum due to rounding. 229 Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial 87 measure, can be found in this presentation. 96 149 92 N O R W O O D F I N A N C I A L C O R P 2 148 N A S D A Q G L O B A L : N W F L Additional Colors
