1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all significant adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s reporting format. Such reclassifications did not affect net income or stockholders’ equity.

 

ENB Financial Corp (“the Corporation”) is the bank holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiary Ephrata National Bank (the “Bank”). This Form 10-Q, for the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2019, is reporting on the results of operations and financial condition of ENB Financial Corp.

 

Operating results for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2017.2019. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in ENB Financial Corp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018.

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under Topic 606, the Corporation must identify contracts with customers, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when the Corporation satisfies a performance obligation. Significant revenue has not been recognized in the current reporting period that results from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

The Corporation’s primary sources of revenue are derived from interest and dividends earned on loans, investment securities, and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of Topic 606. The Corporation has evaluated the nature of its contracts with customers and determined that further disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers into more granular categories beyond what is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income was not necessary. The Corporation generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed; charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying Topic 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.

Leases

ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02, among other things, requires lessees to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model andASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2016-02 became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2019 and initially required transition using a modified retrospective approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11,“Leases (Topic 842) - Targeted Improvements,” which, among other things, provided an additional transition method that allowed entities to not apply the guidance in ASU 2016-02 in the comparative periods presented in the financial statements and instead recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In December 2018, the FASB also issuedASU 2018-20, “Leases (Topic 842) - Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,”which provided for certain policy elections and changed lessor accounting for sales and similar taxes and certain lessor costs. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20 on January 1, 2019, the Corporation recognized right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities of $1,075,000.

In the debt security portfolio there were 16282 positions that were carrying unrealized losses as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. There were no instruments considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019.

 

The Corporation evaluates both equity and fixed maturity positions for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic and market concerns warrant such evaluation. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for the bifurcation of OTTI into two categories: (a) the amount of the total OTTI related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss), which is recognized in earnings, and (b) the amount of total OTTI related to all other factors, which is recognized, net of taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

As part of management’s normal monthly securities review, instruments are examined for known or expected calls that would impact the value of the bonds by causing accelerated amortization. If a security was purchased at a high premium, or dollar price above par, the remaining premium has to be amortized on a straight line basis to the known call date. Calls can occur in a majority of the securities the Corporation purchases but they are dependent on the structure of the instrument, and can also be dependent on certain conditions.

On March 15, 2016, management was made aware of a regulatory call provision on a CoBank bond held by the Corporation. CoBank is a sub-U.S. agency and cooperative of the Farm Credit Association (FCA), a U.S. government sponsored enterprise (GSE). The bond is classified as a corporate bond for disclosure purposes. The regulatory call was not anticipated and the high coupon bond was purchased at a high premium. The call required accelerated amortization to the April 15, 2016 call date, resulting in an additional $479,000 of amortization through September 30, 2016. This regulatory call specifically involved the CoBank issue maturing on April 16, 2018.

As a result of this par call notice, management accelerated the amortization of the remaining premium on the AgriBank bond, beginning in April2019 and running until the call date of July 15, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, $1,202,000 of accelerated amortization was recorded on this bond. After July 15, 2016, the Corporation no longer held any sub-U.S. Agency debt of FCA or any other U.S. GSE.2018.

 

In both the CoBank and AgriBank matters investors, including the Corporation, have contested the ability of both CoBank and AgriBank to conduct these regulatory calls. Presently, the Corporation is listed on a complaint filed in the U.S District Court for the Southern District of New York against CoBank by over 30 previous holders of CoBank bonds. The complaint has gone through initial mediation phases and the discovery stage which concluded on September 29, 2017. The parties are presently engaged in expert discovery, with the matter proceeding toward trial. Management anticipates going through a similar process with AgriBank, however that litigation is taking the form of a class action lawsuit with a plaintiff representing the class. The Corporation, as a member of the class, initially waited for the court to issue a ruling on AgriBank’s motion to dismiss. The District Court Judge issued an opinion in mid-September 2017, denying AgriBank’s motion to dismiss. The District Court recently entered a discovery schedule that establishes mid-May 2018 as the deadline to complete fact discovery, and mid-August 2018 as the deadline for expert discovery. In both litigation efforts management is contesting the process that was undertaken to exercise these regulatory calls. Management cannot make any prediction or draw any conclusion as to the outcome of any negotiations and/or litigation in connection with these matters.

The Corporation grades commercial credits differently than consumer credits. The following tables represent all of the Corporation’s commercial credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016.2018. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations under the loan agreements as scheduled. The Corporation's internal commercial credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

 

The Corporation's internally assigned grades for commercial credits are as follows:

 

·Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

 

·Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected. 

 

·Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

·Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset.  In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

 

·Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

The largest movement in credit risk profile from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019 was a $3.9 million commercial and industrial (C&I) relationship that was downgraded from pass to special mention. This larger relationship, which provides a wide complement of leased equipment, accounted for the $3.7 million increase in commercial and industrial special mention loans since year end, and the majority of the increase in special mention loans for all commercial loan categories. This loan is current and has performed on a timely basis since origination. Agricultural loans not secured by real estate experienced a $675,000 increase in special mention loans from year end. This was primarily the result of a downgrading of one farmer with $920,000 of C&I balance, who has a mix of operations.

DuringThere were no loan modifications made during the ninethree or six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 there was one loan modification made2019 or 2018 causing a loan to be considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). A TDR is a loan where management has granted a concession to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty. A concession is generally defined as more favorable payment or credit terms granted to a borrower in an effort to improve the likelihood of the lender collecting principal in its entirety. Concessions usually are in the form of interest only for a period of time, or a lower interest rate offered in an effort to enable the borrower to continue to make normally scheduled payments. The loan classified as a TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was an agricultural loan with a principal balance at September 30, 2017, of $263,000. The concession granted to the borrower was an interest-only period initially running for three months to March 31, 2017. However, in April 2017, that deferral period was extended for an additional three months, causing management to classify the loan as a TDR. The concession period ended June 30, 2017. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the borrower resumed normal principal and interest payments as of July 2017. There were no loans classified as a TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, management charged off $23,000 in loans while recovering $104,000 and added $210,000 to the provision. The unallocated portion of the allowance did increase from 5.3% as of December 31, 2018, and 5.5% as of March 31, 2019, to 8.6% as of June 30, 2019. Management monitors the unallocated portion of the allowance and has guidelines for maintaining any unallocated allowance between 5.0% and 10.0% of the calculated required allowance for credit losses.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2019, net provision expensesexpense was recorded for the commercial real estate segment, while net credit provisions were recorded forin the consumer real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer segments. This was due to continued very low historical loss experience for these three segments. In the past two quarters, management has adjusted the qualitative factors across the loan segments, withportfolio to better reflect the forward risk in each loan segment. This has resulted in a credit provision recorded in the commercial real estate loan category. The decrease in the amount ofslightly larger allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial real estate was primarily due to a material drop in commercial real estate loans over the first nine months of 2017. As of December 31, 2016, 50.2% of the Corporation’s allowanceand slightly lower allowances for loan losses was allocated toconsumer real estate, commercial real estate loans, which consisted of 48.2% of all loans. As of September 30, 2017, 46.8 %and consumer, while the unallocated portion of the allowance was allocated toincreased. The Corporation’s commercial real estate loans which consisted of 44.5% of total loans.

Delinquency rates among the Corporation’s loan pools remain very low. Additionally, there have been no charge-offsallocation for three of our loan pools over the past three years. However, classified loans experienced a large increasecredit losses was reduced by $114,000 in the first nine months of 2017. The Corporation’s classified loans were relatively low and stable throughout 2016 but in the first quarter of 2017 increased by $7.4 million, from $14.2 million to $21.6 million. Two large loan relationships, one consisting of business loans and mortgages, and the other agriculture mortgages were classified as substandard in the first quarter. In the second quarter of 2017, classified loans increased another $4.0 million,2019, influenced by a reduction in real estate secured agricultural delinquencies that declined materially since March 31, 2019. The allowance for credit losses on consumer real estate grew in the second quarter of 2019 relative to $25.6 million. This increasethe sharper growth in this segment offset partially by lower delinquencies than March 31, 2019 but unchanged from the prior June 30, 2019. The Commercial and industrial allocation for credit losses was primarily causedreduced by four loan customers being classified$204,000 in the second quarter of 2019 as substandard, two beingdelinquencies declined significantly.

The Corporation’s commercial and two agricultural-related. However,industrial loans continue to experience lower levels of delinquency than both commercial and agricultural mortgage loans. As of June 30, 2019 the commercial and industrial loan delinquencies were running at a fourth of the level of business mortgage delinquencies. The commercial and industrial delinquencies on June 30, 2019 were only one third of the level of delinquencies as of December 31, 2018. Therefore, the provision for commercial and industrial loans was lowered by $204,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. The provision for consumer loans was reduced by $22,000 in the thirdsecond quarter of 2017, classified2019 as a result of the reductions in consumer credit lines and loan delinquencies from March 31, 2019 to June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, the 0.44% delinquency rate for all of the Corporation’s loans decreased by $4.6 million, bringingwas down slightly from 0.46% as of December 31, 2018 levels, but was down moderately from 0.59% as of March 31, 2019. Charge-offs for the outstanding balancethree and six months ended June 30, 2019, were very low at $5,000 and $22,000 compared to $21.0 million. Currently,$8,000 and $360,000 for the same periods of 2018.

The agricultural lending sector remainshas generally been under stress over the past several years due to lower commodity prices within certain agricultural industries. The Corporation’s agricultural portfolio is highly affected by volatility in the protein sector; particularly dairy and broiler prices. These are the two commodity price indicators that have the most immediate impact to the majority of the Corporation’s agricultural borrowers. Due to abundant supplies of eggs forecasted through 2019, egg prices will continue to exhibit downward pressures on producers. Broiler prices have slightly increased in 2019 but are forecasted to show continued stress due to expected weak domestic demand for the second half of 2019. Slaughter levels have increased slightly year over year, but with slow growth in meat demand, poultry integrators are taking active measures to control production. Milk prices remain historically low and have not broken out of a historical low three-year range. The average milk and egg prices impacting farmers. Outsideprice for the first half of 2019 slightly exceeded the commercial loan relationships noted above,average for the healthfirst half of the Corporation’s commercial real estate and commercial and industrial borrowers is generally stable2018, but income over feed costs remain low. The local dairy industry continues to undergo consolidation as it deals with no material trends related to certain types of industries. Commercial borrowers that have exposure to agriculture are subject to more financial stress in the current environment. Qualitative factors regarding trends in the loan portfolio as well as national and local economic conditions were increased for several loan pools in the third quarter of 2017. The increases in classified loans along with higher qualitative factors, caused management to record provision expense of $450,000 through September 30, 2017 despite the continuation of very low levels of delinquencies and charge-offs.overcapacity.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

These agricultural challenges did not adversely impact the Corporation’s agricultural loans until the end of 2018 when total agricultural delinquencies rose to $1.4 million, from zero at the end of 2017. As of June 30, 2019, total agricultural mortgage delinquencies rose to $1.9 million, but had declined from the recent high of $2.3 million as of March 31, 2019. The reduction since March 31, 2019 is consistent with slightly improved milk and poultry prices that began to improve in early 2019.

Agricultural mortgages over 90 days delinquent remained unchanged at $816,000 from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019. The agricultural mortgages over 90 days delinquent are made up of two loans to one dairy farmer, with the largest loan of $766,000 backed by a 90% FSA guarantee. Both of the loans were placed on non-accrual at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018. The borrower has been trying to sell the property since mid-2018. As of June 30, 2019, the Bank was proceeding on foreclosure proceedings on this loan. Management does not anticipate any charge-off on this loan due to the sufficiency of collateral and the FSA guarantee. Outside of this relationship, it was the 60-89 days past due delinquencies that were primarily responsible for the increase in total agricultural mortgage delinquencies. Management will continue to closely monitor the level of agricultural mortgage delinquencies for trends like declining borrower performance.

Outside of the above measurements and indicators, management continues to utilize nine qualitative factors to continually refine the potential credit risks across the Corporation’s various loan types. The majority of the qualitative factors had little change during the first half of 2019. Minor adjustments to the qualitative factors covering changes in lending policies and procedures, trends in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, and levels of and trends in delinquency, non-accruals, and charge-offs were made throughout the first half of 2019 as these levels increased or decreased. The other qualitative factors remained consistent since December 31, 2018, requiring no adjustments to the allowance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a credit provision was recorded for the commercial and industrial segment with provision expense recorded in all other loan categories. For the entire portfolio, $200,000 of additional provision expense was needed for the first nine months of 2016. Delinquency rates among most loan pools remained very low with the total amount of delinquent loans lower on September 30, 2016 than on December 31, 2015, even with larger loan balances. The Corporation received $157,000 more recoveries than charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These favorable results acted to offset higher levels of classified loans and non-accruals resulting in $200,000 of additional provision being sufficient to cover the growth in the loan portfolio. Changes in qualitative factors were minimal during the third quarter and the provision expense recorded was mostly to account for significant loan growth during the year-to-date period.

The increase in the allowance for commercial real estate loans was primarily a result of higher levels of charge-offs in the first six months of 2018. The increase in the amount of the allowance for loan losses allocated to the consumer real estate and consumer segment was primarily a result of growth in these portfolios during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in commercial and industrial loans from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018 was caused by a qualitative factor change across the portfolio and also by the declining level of substandard commercial and industrial loans. The qualitative factors were adjusted across the loan portfolio to better reflect the forward risk in each portfolio. Commercial and consumer real estate carried heavier risk factors, while commercial and industrial was adjusted down. While commercial and industrial did have charge-offs in the first quarter of 2018 they were relative to the size of the allowance and sufficiently covered with prior provisions. There was no commercial and industrial charge-offs in the second quarter of 2018, as well as the commercial and consumer real estate areas. Meanwhile the amount of commercial and industrial loans rated substandard, declined from $3.2 million on December 31, 2017, to $2.8 million as of March 31, 2018, and to $2.0 million as of June 30, 2018. While the balances of commercial and industrial loans increased moderately from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018, the required allowance and related provision for these loans is influenced more heavily by the amount of classified loans.

4.5. Fair Value Presentation

 

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles establish a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of observable pricing utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:

 

 Level I:Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

 
Level II:Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.  The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

 
Level III:Assets and liabilities that have little to no observable pricing as of the reported date.  These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

 

The following tables presentprovide the fair market value for assets required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair valueConsolidated Balance Sheets as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, and December 31, 2016,2018, by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Financial instruments are considered level III when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for level III financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable either directly or indirectly. Level III financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. There were

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimatetable provides the fair value ofcarrying amount for each class of financial instrument:

Cashassets and Cash Equivalents

For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities Available for Sale

Management utilizes quoted market pricing for the fair value of the Corporation's securities that are available for sale, if available. If a quoted market rate is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Regulatory Stock

Regulatory stock is valued at a stable dollar price, which is the price used to purchase or liquidate shares; therefore, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are individual loans for which the Corporation has a firm sales commitment; therefore, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value.

Loans

The fair value of fixed and variable rate loans is estimated by discounting back the scheduled future cash flows of the particular loan product, using the market interest rates of comparable loan products in the Corporation’s greater market area, with the same general structure, comparable credit ratings, and for the same remaining maturities.

Mortgage Servicing Assets

The fair value of mortgage servicing assets is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows and estimates the price at which a portfolio would prospectively be sold.

Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.

Deposits

The fair value of non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts and interest bearing demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts is based on the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated by discounting back the expected cash flows of the time deposit using market interest rates from the Corporation’s greater market area currently offered for similar time deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings

The carrying amount of short-term borrowing is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of long-term borrowing is estimated by comparing the rate currently offered for the same type of borrowing instrument with a matching remaining term.

Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount of accrued interest payable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Firm Commitments to Extend Credit, Lines of Credit, and Open Letters of Credit

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment or letter of credit,liabilities and the fair value determined by discountingfor certain financial instruments that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value on the remaining contractual fee over the termConsolidated Balance Sheets as of the commitment, using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, is not considered material for disclosure purposes. The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments are presented in Note 6.June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

6.7.       Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

 

In order to meet the financing needs of its customers in the normal course of business, the Corporation makes various commitments that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These commitments include firm commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and open letters of credit. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, firm loan commitments were $40.5$56.3 million, unused lines of credit were $209.3$256.3 million, and open letters of credit were $11.1$10.0 million. The total of these commitments was $260.9$322.6 million, which represents the Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by its customers with respect to these financial instruments. The actual credit losses that may arise from these commitments are expected to compare favorably with the Corporation’s loan loss experience on its loan portfolio taken as a whole. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for balance sheet financial instruments.

8. Recently Issued Accounting Standards9. Leases

 

In May 2014,A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a new revenue recognition standard). The Update’s core principle is thatright to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a company will recognize revenue to depict the transferperiod of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitledtime in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this Update specifiesconsideration. On January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases” (Topic 842) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. For the Corporation, Topic 842 primarily affected the accounting treatment for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contractoperating lease agreements in which the Corporation is the lessee.

All of these leases in which the Corporation is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branches and office space with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.terms extending through 2026. All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Because the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities, we do not expect the new standard, or any of the amendments, to result in a material change from our current accounting for revenue because the majority of the Corporation’s financial instrumentsleases are classified as operating leases, and therefore, were previously not withinrecognized on the scopeCorporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. With the adoption of Topic 606.  However, we do expect that842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the standard will result in new disclosure requirements, which are currently being evaluated.Consolidated Balance Sheets as a right-of use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability.

 

The following table represents the Consolidated Balance Sheet classification of the Corporation’s ROU assets and lease liabilities.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Update applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities and is intended to provide more useful information on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, this Update (a) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidationThe calculated amount of the investee)ROU assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to determine the present value of the minimum lease payments. The Corporation’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Corporation’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Corporation considers the exercising of a renewal option to be measured at fair value with changesreasonably certain, the Corporation will include the extended term in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (d) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (e) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (f) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portioncalculation of the total changeROU asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, Topic 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change inlease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As the instrument-specific credit risk whenrate is rarely determinable, the entity has elected to measure the liabilityCorporation utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (g) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (h) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowancelease inception, on a deferred tax asset relatedcollateralized basis, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to available-for-sale securitiesJanuary 1 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used.

The following table represents lease costs and other lease information. As the Corporation elected, for all classes of underlying assets, not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for them as a single lease component, the variable lease cost primarily represents variable payments such as common area maintenance and utilities.

Future minimum payments for operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more as of June 30, 2019 were as follows:

In February 2016,income are restated as if the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet.  A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term.  A short-term lease is defined as one in which (a) the lease term is 12 months or less and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments should be appliedstock split had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Corporation is currently assessing the practical expedients it may elect at adoption, but does not anticipate the amendments will have a significant impact on the financial statements. Based on the Corporation’s preliminary analysis of its current portfolio, the impact to the Corporation’s balance sheet is estimated to result in less than a one percent increase in assets and liabilities. The Corporation also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments apply to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial instruments that are determined to have a debt host) with embedded call (put) options. The amendments in this Update clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt host. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this Update is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities otherthan public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, which includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606; they simply clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this Update are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of Update 2014-09. ASU No. 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, which includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services in exchange for consideration. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle for revenue recognition in Topic 606. Instead, the amendments provide (1) more detailed guidance in a few areas and (2) additional implementation guidance and examples based on feedback the FASB received from its stakeholders. The amendments are expected to reduce the degree of judgment necessary to comply with Topic 606, which the FASB expects will reduce the potential for diversity arising in practice and reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which among other things clarifies the objective of the collectability criterion in Topic 606, as well as certain narrow aspects of Topic 606. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09).

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments-CreditInstruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments(“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This ASUUpdate is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the ASUUpdate is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We expect to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05,Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 326, which allows entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost upon adoption of the new credit losses standard. To be eligible for the transition election, the existing financial asset must otherwise be both within the scope of the new credit losses standard and eligible for the applying the fair value option in ASC 825-10.3. The election must be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is not available for either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities. For entities that elect the fair value option, the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the financial asset would be recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the date an entity adopted ASU 2016-13.

In October 2016,May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,2019-06,Statement of Cash FlowsIntangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 230)350), Business Combinations (Topic 805), and Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Extending the Private Company Accounting Alternatives on Goodwill and Certain Identifiable Intangible Assets to Not-for-Profit Entities, which requiresextend the scope of the goodwill accounting alternative provided in ASU 2014-02 and the intangible asset accounting alternative provided in ASU 2014-18 to not-for-profit entities. Instead of testing goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level, a not-for-profit entity may now elect the goodwill accounting alternative to (a) amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over 10 years or less than 10 years if the entity demonstrates that another useful life is more appropriate, (b) make a statementpolicy election to test goodwill for impairment at either the entity level or the reporting unit level, and (c) test goodwill for impairment only when a triggering event occurs that indicates that the fair value of cash flows explains the change during the period in the totalan entity (or a reporting unit) may be below its carrying amount. Furthermore, for identifiable intangible assets, instead of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shownseparately recognizing most intangible assets at fair value on the statementtransaction date, a not-for-profit entity may now elect the intangible asset accounting alternative to subsume the following intangible assets into goodwill: (a) customer-related intangible assets that aren’t capable of cash flows.being sold or licensed independently from the other assets of the business, and (b) noncompetition agreements acquired in an acquisition. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities,goodwill accounting alternative must be elected if the intangible asset accounting alternative is elected. However, the goodwill accounting alternative may be elected without electing the intangible asset accounting alternative. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Corporation’s statement of cash flows.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

Overview

The Corporation recorded net income of $2,034,000$3,089,000 and $5,692,000 for the third quarter of 2017,three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, a 2.1% decrease45.3% and 15.1% increase respectively, from the $2,077,000$2,126,000 and $4,947,000 earned during the same periods in 2018. The earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.54 and $1.00 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $0.37 and $0.87 for the same periods in 2018. The increase in the third quarter of 2016, while for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation recorded $5,733,000 of net income, a 1.8% increase over the same period in 2016. The Corporation experienced strong levels ofCorporation’s 2019 earnings was caused primarily by growth in net interest income (NII) for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, which were largely offset by decreases in other income and, as well as limited increases in interest expense. For the third quarter of 2017, the increase in operating expenses and reduction in other income outweighed the increase in NII. For the nine-month period, the Corporation’s NII improvement was more significant relative to the decrease in other income and increase in operating expenses, resulting in higher net income. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.71 and $2.01 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0.73 and $1.98 for the same periods in 2016.improved efficiency.

 

The Corporation’s NII has grown each successive quarter since the third quarter of 2016 due to three Federal Reserve interest rate increases and $1,681,000 of non-recurring amortization on U.S. sub-agency bonds recorded in the first nine months of 2016. The Corporation’s NII increased by $1,048,000,$1,103,000, or 15.8%13.7%, and $4,198,000,$2,336,000, or 23.0%14.8%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to the same periods in 2016.2018. The increase in NII primarily resulted from an increase in interest and fees on securities and dividend incomeloans of $519,000,$1,605,000, or 31.8%23.9%, and $2,623,000,$3,230,000, or 69.7%24.7%, for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. The portion of the increase thatin NII was causedpartially offset by non-recurring amortization was $170,000 for the three-month period and $1,681,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The Corporation’s NII also benefited from a $459,000, or 8.0%, and $1,280,000, or 7.7%an increase in interest expense. The Corporation’s interest expense on deposits and fees on loansborrowings increased by $462,000, or 54.9%, and $867,000, or 53.7%, for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to 2016. The Corporation’s interest expense was relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2017, but declined by $132,000, or 5.7%, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.2018.

 

The Corporation recorded $240,000 of$60,000 less provision expense in the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2019 compared to $200,000the same quarter of 2018, with $30,000 of provision compared to $90,000 of provision for the thirdsecond quarter of 2016, and2018. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Corporation recorded $70,000 less provision expense, with $210,000 of $450,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,provision expense compared to $200,000 for$280,000 in the same period in 2016, representing a $250,000 decrease in income in 2017 compared to 2016. The increase in provision expense was largely driven by higher levels of classified loans, which required more provision expense in 2017, as well as a specific allocation of $98,000 for an impaired loan in the third quarter of 2017.2018. The gains from the sale of debt securities were $170,000 and $417,000$106,000 for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, and $187,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $464,000losses of $62,000 and $2,130,000$28,000 for the same periods in 2016, representing decreases of $294,000, or 63.4%, and $1,713,000, or 80.4%, respectively.2018. Market interest rates were lower in 2016,2019, making it more conducive to achieving gains from the sale of securities. The gain on the sale of mortgages decreasedincreased by $47,000,$63,000, or 8.4%17.9%, and increased by $193,000,$177,000, or 17.4%30.2%, for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to the prior year’s periods. Both mortgage production and margins realized onThe volume of mortgages sold mortgages werewas higher during the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period in the first nine months of 2017 compared to 2016.prior year. Total operating expenses increased $899,000,marginally by $50,000, or 13.3%0.6%, and $2,938,000,$448,000, or 14.7%2.8%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to the same periods in 2016.2018.

 

The financial services industry uses two primary performance measurements to gauge performance: return on average assets (ROA) and return on average equity (ROE). ROA measures how efficiently a bank generates income based on the amount of assets or size of a company. ROE measures the efficiency of a company in generating income based on the amount of equity or capital utilized. The latter measurement typically receives more attention from shareholders. The ROA and ROE increased for the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to the same periodperiods in the prior year due primarily to higher earnings. The ROA decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the prior year due to a faster asset growth rate that outpaced the increase in earnings. However, ROE increased for the nine-month period as equity did not increase at a rapid pace allowing the growth in earnings to positively impact ROE.

·Provision for loan losses
·Other income
·Operating expenses
·Provision for income taxes

 

The following discussion analyzes each of these five components.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income (NII)NII represents the largest portion of the Corporation’s operating income. In the first ninesix months of 2017,2019, NII generated 74.8%77.4% of the Corporation’s gross revenue stream, which consists of net interest income and non-interest income, compared to 68.1%72.5% in the first ninesix months of 2016. The higher NII as a percentage of gross revenue was primarily caused by a combination of the last three Federal Reserve interest rate increases as well as non-recurring accelerated amortization expense in 2016.2018. The overall performance of the Corporation is highly dependent on the changes in net interest income since it comprises such a significant portion of operating income. Without the impact of the accelerated amortization on the U.S. Sub-Agency bonds, the Corporation’s NII would have accounted for 69.9% of the gross revenue stream for the first nine months of 2016.

 

The following table shows a summary analysis of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis. For analytical purposes and throughout this discussion, yields, rates, and measurements such as NII, net interest spread, and net yield on interest earning assets are presented on an FTE basis. The FTE net interest income shown in both tables below will exceed the NII reported on the consolidated statements of income, which is not shown on an FTE basis. The amount of FTE adjustment totaled $582,000$190,000 and $1,793,000$392,000 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to $524,000$223,000 and $1,570,000$452,000 for the same periods in 2016.2018.

NII is the difference between interest income earned on assets and interest expense incurred on liabilities. Accordingly, two factors affect net interest income:

 

·The rates earned on interest earning assets and paid on interest bearing liabilities
·The average balance of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities

 

The Federal funds rate, the Prime rate, the shape of the U.S. Treasury curve, and other wholesale funding curves, all affect NII. The Federal Reserve controls the Federal funds rate, which is one of a number of tools available to the Federal Reserve to conduct monetary policy. The Federal funds rate, and guidance on when the rate might be changed, is often the focal point of discussion regarding the direction of interest rates. Until December 16, 2015, the Federal funds rate had not changed since December 16, 2008. On2008, a period of seven years. Since December 16, 2015, a period over three and a half years, the Federal funds rate was increased 25 basis points to 0.50%, from 0.25%. On December 14, 2016, the Federal funds rate was increased 25 basis points to 0.75%. On March 15, 2017 and on June 14, 2017, the Federal funds rate was again increased 25 basis points so the rate since June 14, 2017, has been 1.25%increased nine (9) times from 0.25% to 2.50%. Prior toFour of those rate increases occurred in 2018, with the final increase on December 15, 2018. In the first half of 2015, the period of seven years with extremely low and unchanged overnight rates was the lowest and longest in U.S. history. The impact has been a lower net interest margin to the Corporation and generally across the financial industry. The increase in December of 2015 and 2016, as well as the increases in March and June of 2017 resulted in higher short-term U.S. Treasury rates, but the long-term rates initially decreased, resulting in a flattening of the yield curve. Long-term rates like the ten-year U.S. Treasury were 192 basis points under the 4.25% Prime rate as of September 30, 2017. It appears that the general conditions of a flatter yield curve with low long-term U.S. Treasury rates, significantly below the Prime rate, will continue for the remainder of 2017. Management anticipates the next 0.25%2019, no Federal Reserve rate increase could occur inactions took place, however on July 31, 2019, the fourth quarterFederal Reserve lowered the Federal Funds rate by 0.25% from 2.50% to 2.25%. This was done out of 2017.concern of a slowing economy.

At the time this report was being prepared, the expectations were for the Federal Reserve to decrease rates on July 31, 2019, and one more time during 2019. It remains toshould be seen whether mid and long-term U.S. Treasury rates will also increase to the same degreenoted that it was ten years ago that the Federal Reserve last decreased rates in July of 2009 after concern of economic slowdown after the great recession. Management anticpates a reduction in interest income in the third quarter of 2019 as a result of the recent Federal Reserve rate decrease. All of the Corporation’s prime-based floating rate loans will move the overnight Federal funds rate. If they do not, the yield curve would further flatten making it harder for the Corporationreset lower by 0.25%. These decreases will begin to increase asset yield.occur in August of 2019.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The shape of the U.S. Treasury curve also directly impacts the Corporation’s net interest income. During the first half of 2019, the U.S. Treasury curve has been very flat. This is generally not beneficial to banks as funding sources are typically shorter terms than the assets invested in. A sharper yield curve is beneficial to financial institutions as a larger spread can be made on the asset versus the liability utilized. Throughout most of the first half of 2019, the spread between the 2-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury averaged around 20 basis points. This is a very low spread in terms of historical performance. Additionally, the yield curve has been very flat betwee the 2-year and 5-year terms. There has also been an inversion on the U.S. Treasury curve as the 3-month U.S. Treasury yields have been higher than the 2-year U.S. Treasury yields. This is indicating the market anticipates the overnight and short-term rates will likely be coming down, which has now started to occur.

 

The combination of lower overnight rates, an inverted yield curve on the short end, and a generally flat yield curve out to longer rates, makes it more difficult for the Corporation to generate higher net interest income. It is likely the Corporation’s net interest margin will decline in the third quarter and any increase in net interest income will need to come from growth of interest earning assets.

The Prime rate is generally used by commercial banks to extend variable rate loans to business and commercial customers. For many years, the Prime rate has been set at 300 basis points, or 3.00% higher, than the Federal funds rate and typically moves when the Federal funds rate changes. As such, the Prime rate increased from 3.25%was 5.50% as of June 30, 2019. As of August 1, 2019, the Prime rate changed to 3.50% on December 16, 2015, from 3.50% to 3.75% on December 14, 2016, from 3.75% to 4.00% on March 15, 2017, and from 4.00% to 4.25% on June 14, 2017.5.25%. The Corporation’s Prime-based loans, including home equity lines of credit and some variable rate commercial loans, reprice a day after the Federal Reserve rate movement.

 

As a result of the prior Federal Reserve rate increases and the significant growth of the loan portfolio, the Corporation’s NII on a tax equivalent basis began to increasehas been increasing significantly. The Corporation’s margin decreased in 2017 withthe beginning of 2018 primarily as a result of lower tax-equivalent yields on the Corporation’s municipal securities, which were negatively impacted by the lower corporate tax rate. Subsequent to the tax rate change, the Corporation’s net interest margin began increasing to 3.46%again. The net interest margin for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2017, comparedfirst quarter of 2019 was 3.59% and declined slightly to 3.04%3.56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.second quarter of 2019 due to higher costs on the interest expense side. The Corporation’s NII on a tax-equivalent basis increased for the first ninethree months of 2017 increased substantiallyended June 30, 2019, by $1,070,000, or 12.9%, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, by $2,276,000, or 14.0%, over the same periodperiods in 2016, by $4,421,000, or 22.3%, with the margin increasing to 3.46%. However, there was non-recurring security amortization of $1,681,000 recorded in the first nine months of 2016, which had a negative impact on NII and margin. Without this impact, NII would have increased by $2,740,000, or 12.7%, in 2017 compared to 2016.2018. Management’s asset liability sensitivity measurements continue to show a benefit to both margin and NII given further Federal Reserve rate increases. Actual results over the past nine quarterstwo years have confirmed the asset sensitivity of the Corporation’s balance sheet. Management expects that any additional Federal Reserve rate increasesdecreases in 20172019 would further improvehave a negative impact on both margin and NII. Any improvements in NII although to a limited degree because the rate change would likely only affect the last half of December. However, a fourth quarter Federal Reserve rate increase would have a positive impact on 2018 NII and margin.will be driven primarily by loan growth.

 

The extended extremely low Federal funds rate hashad enabled management to reduce the average cost of funds on overnightover a period of years. However, in 2018, this trend reversed with slight increases in both deposit and borrowings interest expense as the cost to replace maturing borrowings increased and allowed lower interest rates paid on deposits reducingincreased slightly. The cost of funds increased even further in the Corporation’s interest expense. It was only after the third 25-basis point Fed rate increasefirst half of 2019 due to a change in Marchclassification of 2017 that the Corporation raised some deposita cash management product and as a result of higher rates minimally.paid on time deposits and long-term borrowings.

Due2019, the Corporation’s asset yields will see a decrease, but helping to offset this decline could be a stabilization of costs on the increasing numberinterest expense side. The potential of Federal Reserve rate decreases acts to lower the Corporation’s NII and net interest margin (NIM) because of the variable rate loans inportion of the Corporation’s loan portfolio, the 25 basis point increase inwhich resets every time the Prime rate at the end of 2015, 2016, and in March and June of 2017, did cause NII to increase progressively.

Any additional Federal Reserve rate increase in the fourth quarter of 2017 would increase NII but the full impact would not be seen until the first quarter of 2018.changes.

 

Security yields will generally fluctuate more rapidly than loan yields based on changes to the U.S. Treasury rates and yield curve. With higherlower Treasury rates in the first nine monthshalf of 20172019 compared to the same period in 2016,2018, security reinvestment has been occurring at slightlylower levels as cash flows from the securities portfolio are generally being reallocated into loan portfolio growth.

Mid-term and long-term interest rates on average were higherlower in 20172019 compared to 2016.2018. The average rate of the 10-year U.S. Treasury was 2.32%2.49% in the first nine monthshalf of 20172019 compared to 1.74%2.84% in the first nine monthshalf of 2016,2018, and it stood at 2.33%2.00% on SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to 1.60% at September2.85% on June 30, 2016.2018. The slope of the yield curve has been compressed throughout most of 20162018 and even inverted through the first ninesix months of 2017,2019, with a difference of 108 basis points between the Fed Funds rate of 1.25% and the 10-year U.S. Treasury asrate lower than the overnight Fed funds rate by 50 basis points. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, compared to 1102018, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate was 85 basis points as of September 30, 2016.higher than the Fed funds rate. The slope of the yield curve has fluctuated many times in the past two years with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield as high as 2.25%2.79% in 2016the first half 2019 and 2.62%3.11 % in 2017,the first half of 2018, and as low as 1.37%2.00% in 20162019, and 2.05%2.44% in 2017. Because the yield curve is still relatively flat, management was not able to increase loan rates to improve yield, but security yields have improved as a result of slightly higher investment rates and lower amortization on existing bonds. The non-recurring sub-agency amortization of $1,681,000 for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2016, negatively affected security yield resulting in artificially low yields during 2016 and higher yields during 2017. With higher long-term rates in 2017 and the likelihood of further Fed rate increases, the Corporation’s asset yield is projected to increase throughout the remainder of 2017 and during 2018.

While it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve savings on the Corporation’s overall cost of funds remains low, there were increases in 2018 and through the Corporation has been ablefirst half of 2019 due to maintain relatively low offering rateshigher interest expense on longer-term time deposits. Theseboth deposits and borrowings. Core deposit interest rates are still belowvery low and have not been increased significantly, although time deposit rates have increased for two odd-month CD specials that were initiated in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Corporation increased interest rates that existed four or five years ago. Rollover of these longer time deposits to lower rates has caused a decrease in interest expense. Generally, it wasmarginally on the longer-term time deposits repricing at lower rates that helped to achieve interest expense reductions on total deposits, as the savings account rate has not changed, and there were limited rate increases for select interest bearing demand deposit accounts. It is anticipated that interest rates onCorporation’s interest bearing core deposits can be held at the current levels for the remainder of 2017. If the Federal Reserve does act to raise interest rates during the fourth quarter, deposit interestaccounts. Further rate increases may need to be implemented beginning in 2018. Management selectively repriced some time deposit rates higher afterare not as likely given the Marchexpectations for possible further Federal Reserve rate increase, butdecreases throughout 2019. Typically, financial institutions will make small systematic moves on core interest bearing accounts while making larger rate increases in the pricing of new or reissued time deposits repricing to lower rates offset any increased interest expense for those that were selectively priced higher.deposits. Borrowing costs, and the wholesale borrowing curves that they are based on, generally follow the direction and slope of the U.S. Treasury curve. However, these curves can be quicker to rise and slower to fall as the providers of these funds seek to protect themselves from rate movements. The Corporation was able to refinance somerefinanced the majority of borrowings at lowerhigher rates in 2016 but2018 and 2019 as lower-priced borrowings matured in 2017 with no ability to refinance at lower rates, so the yieldinterest rates on borrowings increased slightly during 20172018 and will likely continue to do so moving into 2018.during the first half of 2019.

 

Management currently anticipates that the overnight interest rate and Prime rate will remain atbe reduced throughout the current levels until Decemberremainder of 2017 with the possibility of one more 0.25% rate increase by year-end.2019. It is likely that mid and long-term U.S. Treasury rates will increase slowlyremain relatively suppressed throughout the fourth quarterremainder of 2017 as the market anticipates an additional Federal Reserve rate movement.year. This would allow management to achieve higher earnings on new higher yielding securities and allow for the ability to price new loans at higher market rates. However, it is also possible that even after a Federal Reserve rate increase, theflat yield curve could flatten, makingmakes it more difficult for management to lend out or reinvest at higher interest rates out further on the yield curve. Additionally, any additional Federal Reserve rate increases would have a greater effect onHowever, the repricinganticipation of declining rates provides some ability to hold deposit rates at current levels to control the Corporation’s liabilities as the cost of money increases and more marketplace competition returns.

During 2017,the first six months of 2019, additional loan volume caused by loan growth added $938,000$2,270,000 to net interest income, and the slightly higher yields caused a $340,000$970,000 increase, resulting in a total increase of $1,278,000.

The average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased by 4.5%6.4% during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to the prior year driven by the growth in deposit balances. The shift between timehigher cost on deposit balances and demand and savings accounts resulted in a more favorable netan increase in interest income. Lower balances of higher cost deposits contributed to savings of $64,000 on deposit costs while lowerexpense. Higher interest rates on all deposit groups except savings deposits caused $66,000a $742,000 increase in interest expense while slightly higher balances of demand and savings deposits caused an increase in expense of $4,000 resulting in a total savingsincrease of $130,000.$746,000.

 

Out of all the Corporation’s deposit types, interest-bearing demand deposits reprice the most rapidly, as nearly all accounts are immediately affected by rate changes. Time deposit balances decreased resulting in a $93,000$52,000 reduction to expense, and time deposits repricing to lowerhigher interest rates reducedincreased interest expense by an additional $97,000,$148,000, causing a net total reductionincrease of $190,000$96,000 in time deposit interest expense. Even with the low rate environment, the Corporation was successful in increasing balances of other deposit types.

The average balance of outstanding borrowings decreased by $3.1 million, or 4.2%,did not change materially from September 30, 2016, to September 30, 2017. The decreasethe prior year and resulted in total borrowings reducedan increase in interest expense by $25,000.of $5,000. The increase inhigher market interest rates increased interest expense on the Corporation’s borrowings by $23,000,$116,000, as some long-term borrowings at lower interest rates matured and were replaced with new advances at marginally higher rates. The aggregate of these amounts was a decreasean increase in interest expense of $2,000$121,000 related to total borrowings.

 

The following tables showtable shows a more detailed analysis of net interest income on an FTE basis with all the major elements of the Corporation’s balance sheet, which consists of interest earning and non-interest earning assets and interest bearing and non-interest bearing liabilities. Additionally, the analysis provides the net interest spread and the net yield on interest earning assets. The net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest earning assets and the interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. The net interest spread has the deficiency of not giving credit for the non-interest bearing funds and capital used to fund a portion of the total interest earning assets. For this reason, management emphasizes the net yield on interest earning assets, also referred to as the net interest margin (NIM).NIM. The NIM is calculated by dividing net interest income on an FTE basis into total average interest earning assets. The NIM is generally the benchmark used by analysts to measure how efficiently a bank generates NII.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation’s interest income increased at a faster pace primarily due to non-recurring security amortization in the first nine months of 2016,increased interest income on loans, resulting in a higher NIM of 3.50%3.56% for the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2019, compared to 3.22%3.41% for the thirdsecond quarter of 20162018 and 3.46%3.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,year-to-date period in 2019, compared to 3.04%3.37% for the same period in 2016.2018. The yield earned on assets increased by 2734 basis points forduring the quarter and 37 basis points for the year-to-date periodsix months ended June 30, 2019, while the rate paid on liabilities dropped oneincreased by 23 basis point for the quarter and six basis points for the year-to-date period when comparing both years. This resulted in an eleven basis point increase in interest spread, and the effect of non-interest bearing deposits increased by nine basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the prior year, resulting in the increase in NIM of 20 basis points. Management does anticipate further improvements inanticipates challenges improving NIM during the remainder of 20172019 as the Federal Reserve will likely decrease rates putting pressure on the Corporation’s asset yields. Loan yields increased significantly during 2018 and throughout the first half of 2019 with the possibility of anotherhigher Prime rate increase in the fourth quarter. Loanand higher yields were at historically low levels during 2016 and the first nine months of 2017 due to the extended low-rate environment as well as extremely competitive pricing for the loan opportunities in the market. It is anticipated that these yields will remain relatively unchanged during the remainder of 2017 with increases occurring during 2018 as the economy improves and loan demand increases, reducing pricing pressures and intense competition foron fixed-rate loans. The increase in the Prime rate has helped to increase loan yields on variable rate consumer and commercial loans. Growth in the loan portfolio coupled with better yields on variable rate loans caused loan interest income to increase.increase through June 30, 2019. The Corporation’s loan yield increased 1731 basis points in the third quarterfirst half of 20172019 compared to the third quarterfirst half of 2016 and 8 basis points when comparing the year-to-date periods in both years.2018. Loan interest income increased $480,000,$3,239,000, or 8.3%, and $1,278,000, or 7.6%24.6%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2018.

 

Loan pricing was challenging in 2016, and continues to be in 2017early 2018 as a result of intense competition resulting in fixed-rate loans being priced at very low levels and variable-rate loans priced at the Prime rate or below. Pricing improved during the last half of 2018 and into the frist half of 2019 with much more significant loan growth. The current Prime rate of 4.25%5.50% is generally slightly higher than the typical business or commercial five-year fixed rates being extended. The commercial or business fixed rates do increase with longer fixed terms or lower than most fixed-rate business and commercialcredit quality. In terms of the variable rate pricing, nearly all variable rate loans which typically range between 4.00% and 6.00%, depending on term and credit risk.offered are Prime-based. Management is able to price loan customers with higher levels of credit risk at Prime plus pricing, such as Prime plus 0.75%, currently 5.00%6.25%. However, there are relatively few of these higher rate loans in the commercial and agricultural portfolios due to the strong credit quality of the Corporation’s borrowers.borrowers and market competition. Competition in the immediate market area ishas been pricing select shorter-term fixed-rate commercial and agricultural lending rates below 4.00%close to 4.50% for the strongest loan credits. This current market environment has largely prevented the Corporation from gaining yield on fixed rate commercial and agricultural loans. The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) carefully monitors the NIM because it indicates trends in net interest income, the Corporation’s largest source of revenue.

Earnings andTax equivalent yields on the Corporation’s securities increased by 4414 basis points for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, and 95 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2018. The Corporation’s securities portfolio consists of nearly all fixed income debt instruments.instruments, however, the variable rate percentage of the portfolio was 13.3% as of June 30, 2019. The Corporation’s taxable securities experienced a 7427 basis-point increase in yield for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, and a 140 basis-point increase in yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016. This was largely due to accelerated amortization that caused significantly lower interest income for the first nine months of 2016. Additionally, some security2018. Security reinvestment in the first ninesix months of 20172019 has been occurring at higher rates even with increased amortization on mortgage-backed and regularcollateralized mortgage obligation securities. The Corporation’s U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations experience faster principal prepayments as market rates decrease, causing the amortization has been lower due to the slightly higher interest rate environment. These variables have caused taxable security yieldsof premium to increase, significantly. effectively decreasing the yield.

The yield on tax-exempt securities decreased minimallyincreased by fiveone basis points and six basis pointspoint for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, compared2019. For the Corporation, these bonds consist entirely of tax-free municipal bonds. The tax equivalent yield on this portion of the portfolio declined in 2018 due to the same periodstax law changes. The yields on municipal bonds are not as attractive as they once were. Management was generally able to sell some of these bonds without taking net losses on this sector by taking advantage of improved bond pricing. Management desired to reduce the municipal bond sector due to three primary reasons. The first reason was to lower portfolio duration as a result of the continued Federal Reserve rate increases that were occurring in 2016.2018. The municipal bonds typically have the longest duration out of all the Corporation’s securities. Secondly, the tax equivalent yield of all of these tax-free instruments was effectively reduced by approximately 16% as a result of the decrease in the Federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% at the end of 2017. Lastly, the Corporation’s loan growth increased sharply in the second half of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, making it appropriate to partially fund this asset growth from the largest segment of the securities portfolio.

 

PriorThe Corporation’s average deposits increased $66.1 million, or 7.7%, with all types of interest-bearing deposits increasing $39.5 millon, or 7.1%, while non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $26.7 million, or 8.8%. In years prior to 2017,2019 and 2018, with short-term rates extremely low and with small rate differences for longer-term deposits, the consumer generally elected to stay short and maintain funds in accessible deposit instruments. During the first nine months of 2017,Even with higher short-termmarket rates but still low longer-term rates,available, it appears the customer still prefers keeping balances in both non-interest and interest bearing checking products and savings accounts. In addition to the consumer staying liquid with their available funds, there has been a general trend of funds flowing from time deposit accounts into both non-interest checking, NOW and savings accounts. The average balance of the Corporation’s interest bearing liabilities increased during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. The average balance of time deposits declined during thesethis same periodsperiod compared to 2016,2018, but the other areas of NOW, MMDA, and savings grew sufficiently enough to compensate for the decline in time deposits, causing total interest bearing funds to increase. However, with more of the interest bearing funds in the form ofslightly higher rates on NOW, MMDA, and savings accounts the average interest rate paid on these instruments is significantly less than what is paid on time deposits, resultingthe Corporation incurred more interest expense. Time deposit balances have been growing more recently due to the odd-month CD promotions currently available and management expects these time deposit balances will continue to grow throughout the remainder of 2019, which will result in lesshigher interest expense.expense, but also provides needed liquidity to fund the continued loan growth.

Interest expense on deposits declinedincreased by $20,000,$746,000, or 3.9%, and $130,000, or 8.3%75.3%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2018. Demand and savings deposits reprice in their entirety whenever the offering rates are changed. This allowschanged, therefore management to reduceis cautious in terms of increasing portfolio interest costs rapidly; however, it becomes difficult to continue to gain cost savings once offeringrates. Interest rates decline to these historically low levels.on interest checking and money market accounts were increased slightly in the fourth quarter of 2018. No core deposit rates were changed in the first half of 2019. For the third quarter of 2017 and the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the average balances of interest bearing demand deposits increased by $6.9$42.5 million, or 3.6%, and $16.6 million, or 9.0%20.0%, over the same periodsperiod in 2016,2018, while the average balance of savings accounts increased by $23.8$7.2 million, or 14.3%, and $25.8 million, or 16.1%, respectively. This increase in balances of lower cost accounts has helped to reduce the Corporation’s overall interest expense in 2017 compared to 2016.3.7%.

 

Time deposits reprice over time according to their maturity schedule. This enables management to both reduce and increase rates slowly over time. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, time deposit balances decreased compared to balances at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. The decrease can be attributed to the lowestlow rates paid historically on time deposits, which has caused the differential between time deposit rates and rates on non-maturity deposits to be minimal.minimal, as well as more competitive time deposit rates being offered by other financial institutions in the local market area. As a result, customers have elected to keep more of their funds in non-maturity deposits and less funds in time deposits. Because time deposits are the most expensive deposit product for the Corporation and the largest dollar expense from a funding standpoint, the reduction in time deposits, along with the increases in interest-bearing checking, savings, and non-interest bearing checking, has allowed the Corporation to achieve a lower cost and more balanced deposit funding position.position and maintain a lower cost of funds. However, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018 and continuing into the first half of 2019, time deposit balances began to increase once again with the offering of two odd-month term time deposit specials. Management expects this trend to continue throughout the remainder of 2019. The Corporation was able to reduceCorporation’s interest expense on time deposits increased by $44,000,$96,000, or 10.6%13.5%, for the third quarterfirst six months of 2017,2019, compared to the same period in 2016, and by $191,000, or 14.7%, for2018, despite the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compareddecrease in average balance. This growth in interest expense was due to the same periodhigher promotional rates that were offered beginning in the prior year.fourth quarter of 2018.

The average annualized interest rate paid on time deposits decreasedincreased by five22 basis points for the three-month period and eight basis points for the nine-monthsix-month period when comparing both years.

 

The Corporation historically uses both short-term and long-term borrowings to supplement liquidity generated by deposit growth. Average short-term advances of $2,709,000 and $9,714,000$2,506,000 were utilized in the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, respectively,2019, while average short-term advances of $10,052,000 and $11,131,000$6,525,000 were utilized in the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. Management has used long-term borrowings as part of an asset liability strategy to lengthen liabilities rather than as a source of liquidity. Average total borrowings decreasedincreased by $3,782,000,$509,000, or 5.2%, and $3,117,000, or 4.2%0.7%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2018.

For the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the net interest spread increased 28 basis points to 3.34%, from 3.06% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The effect of non-interest bearing funds stayed the sameincreased by nine basis points for the three-month period and dropped by one basis point for the nine-monthsix-month period compared to the same periodsperiod in the prior year. The effect of non-interest bearing funds refers to the benefit gained from deposits on which the Corporation does not pay interest. As rates go lower,higher, the benefit of non-interest bearing deposits is reducedincreases because there is lessmore difference between non-interest bearing funds and interest bearing liabilities. For example, if an interest checking account with $10,000 earns 1%, the benefit for $10,000 of non-interest bearing deposits is equivalent to $100; but if the interest-checking rate is reducedincreased to 0.20%1.50%, then the benefit of the non-interest bearing funds is only $20.$150. This assumes dollar-for-dollar replacement, which is not realistic, but demonstrates the way the lowerhigher cost of funds affects the benefit to non-interest bearing deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) provides for losses inherent in the loan portfolio as determined by a quarterly analysis and calculation of various factors related to the loan portfolio. The amount of the provision reflects the adjustment management determines necessary to ensure the ALLL is adequate to cover any losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Corporation recorded a provision expense of $240,000$30,000 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, and $450,000$210,000 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to a provision expense of $200,000$90,000 and $280,000 for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, and $200,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2018, respectively. The analysis of the ALLL takes into consideration, among other things, the following factors:

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation recorded provision expense of $450,000$210,000 primarily due to higher balances of classified loans and a specific allocation of $98,000 related to an impaired loan. Duringgrowth in the first nine months of 2016, the Corporation recorded $200,000 of provision expense.loan portfolio. Management closely tracks delinquent, non-performing, and classified loans as a percentage of capital and of the loan portfolio.

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, total delinquencies represented 0.46%0.44% of total loans, compared to 0.45%0.35% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. These ratios are extremely low compared to local and national peer groups. The vast majority of the Corporation’s loan customers have remained very steadfast in making their loan payments and avoiding delinquency, even during challenging economic conditions. The delinquency ratios speak to the long-term health, conservative nature, and, importantly, the character of the Corporation’s customers and lending practices. Classified loans are primarily determined by loan-to-value and debt-to-income ratios. The prolonged economic downturn, including devaluationlevel of residential and commercial real estate, had stressed these ratios in past periods and the additionclassified loans has increased slightly from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019, from 14.2% of a commercial loan relationship in the first quarterregulatory capital to 14.8% of 2017 had caused an increase in these levels. However, a classified loan relationship that paid off helped to reduce the total classified balances during the third quarter of 2017.regulatory capital. The delinquency and classified loan information is utilized in the quarterly ALLL calculation, which directly affects the provision expense. A sharp increase or decrease in delinquencies and/or classified loans during the quarter would be cause for management to increase or decrease the provision expense. The level of actual charge-offs relative to the amount of recoveries can also have a significant impact on the provision. Management had recoveries that exceeded charge-offs by $16,000$81,000 in the first ninesix months of 2017.2019.

 

Generally, management will evaluate and adjust, if necessary, the provision expense each quarter based upon completion of the quarterly ALLL calculation. Future provision amounts will generally depend on the amount of loan growth achieved versus levels of delinquent, non-performing, and classified loans, as well as charge-offs and recoveries.

 

In addition to the above, provision expense is impacted by three major components that are all included in the quarterly calculation of the ALLL. First, specific allocations are made for any loans where management has determined an exposure that needs to be provided for. These specific allocations are reviewed each quarter to determine if adjustments need to be made. It is common for specific allocations to be reduced as additional principal payments are made, so while some specific allocations are being added, others are being reduced. Secondly,Second, management provides for estimated losses on pools of similar loans based on historical loss experience. Finally, management utilizes qualitative factors every quarter to adjust historical loss experience to take into consideration the current trends in loan volume, delinquencies, charge-offs, changes in lending practices, and the quality of the Corporation’s underwriting, credit analysis, lending staff, and Board oversight.National and local economic trends and conditions are also helpful to determine the amount of loan loss allowance the Corporation should be carrying on the various types of loans. Management evaluates and adjusts, if necessary, the qualitative factors on a quarterly basis.

 

In the first ninesix months of 2017,2019, qualitative factors were adjusted based on current information regarding delinquency, economic conditions, and other factors.Changes in qualitative factors were unchanged for twoone loan pools, while theypool, increased for four poolsone loan pool, and declined for three.the other seven loan pools. Adjustments to the qualitative factors were minor in nature with most changes being only five or ten basis points of adjustment, the lowest amount of adjustment that management will make. The four pools with factor increases were agricultural dairy, credit lines, personal loans, and residential real estate. These increases were due to changes in the trending of those pools including balances, delinquencies, concentrations of credit, and the personnel that handle those loans. Out of these four pools, the two containing the largest balances are agricultural dairy and residential real estate. The dairy industry continues to be impacted by lower milk prices, which lowers the profit margin for these farmers and has impacted delinquencies. Residential real estate balances have grown significantly, especially adjustable rate mortgages, resulting in a higher concentration of residential mortgages.

Gains or losses on securities transactions fluctuate based on market opportunities to take gains and reposition the securities portfolio to improve long-term earnings, or as part of management’s asset liability goals to improve liquidity or reduce interest rate risk or fair value risk. The gains or losses recorded by the Corporation depend heavily on market pricing and the volume of security sales. Generally, the lower U.S. Treasury yields go, the more management will be motivated to pursue taking gains from the sale of securities. However, these market opportunities are evaluated subject to the Corporation’s other asset liability measurements and goals. The yield curve in the first ninesix months of 20162019 provided greaterbetter opportunities to take significant gains out of the portfolio than during the first ninesix months of 2017. Management also executed more gains in the first nine months of 2016 to offset the non-recurring Sub-U.S. Agency amortization of $1,681,000. Market timing was favorable as the bond market was stronger and loan growth was also strong so management did not have to reinvest a significant amount of the proceeds from the sale of securities.2018.

The year-to-date increase was primarily as a resultbecause of increased amortization on existing software as well as purchases of new software platforms to support the strategic initiatives of the Corporation. Software expenses are likely to continue to increase in 2019, but the actual increase will be dependent on how quickly new software platforms are identified, analyzed, approved and placed into service. Data processing fees were up $27,000,$55,000, or 12.3%24.3%, and $68,000,$94,000, or 10.9%20.6%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to the same periods in 2016.2018.

Later proposals were 0.99%, and the 0.95% tax rate that was approved. As a result of these budget discussions, in the beginning of 2016 management was accruing for a higher level of PA Bank Shares Tax, which caused the expense for both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 to be elevated.

Income Taxes

 

ThePrior to 2018, the majority of the Corporation’s income iswas taxed at a corporate rate of 34% for Federal income tax purposes. In December of 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act lowered the corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% effective for 2018 and years going forward. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation recorded Federal income tax expense of $391,000 and $935,000,$1,046,000, compared to tax expense of $445,000 and $1,045,000$535,000 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. The effective tax rate for the Corporation was 16.1%15.5% for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, and 14.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, compared to 17.6% and 15.6%9.8% for the same periodsperiod in 2016.2018. The Corporation’s effective tax rate has historically been maintained at low levels primarily due to a relatively high level of tax-free municipal bonds held in the securities portfolio. The fluctuation of the effective tax rate will occur as a result of total tax-free revenue as a percentage of total revenue. The lower effective tax rate for the year-to-date period in 20172018 was primarily caused by an increasethe lower Federal corporate tax rate as well as a higher percentage of tax-free income that was elevated by $913,000 of BOLI death benefit recognized in the Corporation’s tax-free municipal bond portfolio.first quarter of 2018.

 

Certain items of income are not subject to Federal income tax, such as tax-exempt interest income on loans and securities, and BOLI income; therefore, the effective income tax rate for the Corporation is lower than the stated tax rate. The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the Corporation’s provision for Federal income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income by the income before income taxes for the applicable period.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

 

The Corporation classifies all of its debt securities as available for sale and reports the portfolio at fair value. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation had $320.7$290.9 million of securities available for sale, which accounted for 31.7%25.7% of assets, compared to 31.3%26.8% as of December 31, 2016,2018, and 30.7%29.3% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. Based on ending balances, the securities portfolio increased 7.6%decreased 5.3% from SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2018, and 4.1%1.1% from December 31, 2016.2018.

 

The securities portfolio was showing a net unrealized lossgain of $3,381,000$366,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to an unrealized loss of $7,401,000$7,254,000 as of December 31, 2016,2018, and an unrealized gainloss of $1,850,000$8,552,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. The valuation of the Corporation’s securities portfolio, predominately debt securities, is impacted by both the U.S. Treasury rates and the perceived forward direction of interest rates. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was 1.60%2.85% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016, 2.45%2018, 2.69% as of December 31, 2016,2018, and 2.33%2.00% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. The lower Treasury rates since December 31, 20162018 have caused an improvementincrease in market valuation, which has resulted in the smallersmall amount of unrealized lossgains recorded at SeptemberJune 30, 20172019, compared to the significant unrealized losses recorded at December 31, 2016.2018, and June 30, 2018.

Interest rate changes and the perceived forward direction of interest rates generally have a close relationship to the valuation of the Corporation’s fixed income securities portfolio. There are also a number of other market factors that impact bond prices. It is likelyDuring 2018, the Federal Reserve will act toincreased short-term rates four times, but mid and long-term U.S. Treasury rates did not increase rates one more time during 2017. During 2016,at the same speed, so there was increased foreign market turmoil with several major European countries experiencing negative yields for mid and longer term notes. This resulteda general flattening of the yield curve throughout 2018. With lower long-term rates in foreign investors seekingthe first half of 2019, the yield curve is even flatter resulting in the higher valuation of the securities portfolio. The 10-year U.S. Treasury debt asreached a safe haven and drove U.S. Treasury yields to new record lowslow of 2.44% in early in the third quarter of 2016. Treasury rates increased significantly during the third and fourth quarters of 2016. The Treasury rates2018 then ran up to a 20172018 high of 3.24% in MarchNovember and then slowly retreated until hitting lows in early September. Since then2.69% at the end of the year. In the first half of 2019, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate slowly decreased to a June low of 2.00% where it finished the quarter. Management believes that U.S. Treasury rates have slowly increased and are likely to increasewill remain stagnant throughout the fourth quarter in anticipationremainder of a December2019 or could decrease with anticipated Federal Reserve rate increase. The trend of the U.S. leading economic indicators is more supportive of a Federal Reserve rate increase than they were earlier in the year.decreases. Beyond interest rate movements, there are also a number of other factors that influence bond pricing including regulatory changes, financial performance of issuers, changes to credit rating of insurers of bonds, changes in market perception of certain classes of securities, and many more. Management monitors the changes in interest rates and other market influences to assist in management of the securities portfolio.

 

Any material increase in market interest rates would have a negative impact on the market value of the Corporation’s fixed income debt securities. As of June 30, 2019, approximately 86.7% of the Corporation’s debt securities were fixed rate securities with the other 13.3% variable rate. The variable rate instruments generally experience very little impact to valuation based on a change in rates, whereas the impact of a change in market interest rates will vary on the fixed rate securities according to thetype of bond, length and structure of each sector. The Federal Reserve increased the Fed funds rate by 25 basis points in December of 2015, December of 2016, March of 2017, and June of 2017, with the likelihood of an additional increase in December of 2017. While management is planning for mid-term and long-term interest rates to increase throughout the remainder of 2017, it is possible they would not increase to the same magnitude that short-term rates will increase resulting in an even flatter yield curve.instrument. The municipal bond sector is the largest of the portfolio and, as a result, management will closely monitor the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield due to its impact on these securities. The other sectors of the portfolio have shorter lives and duration and would be more influenced by the 2-year and 5-year U.S. Treasury rates. It is anticipated that the current unrealized lossesgains could growimprove even further if market rates do increaseremain stagnant or decrease during the remainder of the year, either in anticipation of a Federal Reserve rate move, or after the next rate move.year.

 

After four consecutive quarters of declines ending on September 30, 2016, theThe Corporation’s effective duration increased in the final two quarters of 2016 and first quarter of 2017 due primarily to a higher level of municipal bonds in the securities portfolio. However, due to selective sales of longer duration securities, the duration did declinedecreased in the second and third quartersquarter of 2017.2019, from 3.0 as of December 31, 2018, to 2.3 as of June 30, 2019. Effective duration is a measurement of the length of the securities portfolio with a higher level indicating more length and more exposure to an increase in interest rates. The securities portfolio base case effective duration was as low as 2.8 as of September 30, 2016. Since then it has increased to 3.3 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018, and decreased to 3.0 as of December 31, 2018, with a further decline to 2.3 as of June 30, 2019. Duration is expected to remain stable or decline slightly throughout the remainder of 2017. It will be more difficult2019. The Corporation was able to reduce effective duration materially since management has increased the percentageby purchasing more variable rate securities throughout 2018. Additionally, with declining rates, pass-through structures of municipal holdingsMBS and CMO instruments typically shorten in the portfolio. While the percentage of longer duration municipal bonds has grown, the types of new municipal bond instruments being purchased generally have better rates-up performance than those municipal bonds being sold. Therefore, the same duration can be maintained despite a higher element of municipal securities. Management also continues to utilize a large cash position outside of the portfolio, as well as lower duration corporate bonds to offset the duration of the longer municipal bonds.principal payments increase.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Management’s actions to maintain reasonable effective duration of the securities portfolio are part of a broader asset liability plan to continually work to mitigate future interest rate risk and fair value risk to the Corporation. Part of that strategy is to retain higher levels of cash and cash equivalents to increase liquidity and provide an immediate hedge against higher interest rates and fair value risk. However, despite taking actions to mitigate the Corporation’s future risk, these risks are inherent to the banking model. Unrealized gains and losses on securities will vary significantly according to market forces. Management’s focus will continue to be on the long-term performance of these securities. While management has and will continue to take gains from the portfolio when opportunities exist, the broader securities strategy remains to buy and hold debt securities until maturity. Because market interest rates were generally rising since September 30, 2016,declining in the first half of 2019, there was some opportunity to realize gains from the sales of securities. As a result, gains from the sales of securities did decline significantly.were up for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the prior year’s period.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation typically invests excess liquidity into securities, primarily fixed-income bonds. The securities portfolio provides interest and dividend income to supplement the interest income on loans. Additionally, the securities portfolio assists in the management of both liquidity risk and interest rate risk. In order to provide maximum flexibility for management of liquidity and interest rate risk, the securities portfolio is classified as available for sale and reported at fair value. Management adjusts the value of all the Corporation’s securities on a monthly basis to fair market value as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Management has the ability and intent to hold all debt securities until maturity, and does not generally record impairment on bonds that are currently valued below book value. In addition to the fixed-incomefixed and variable rate bonds, the Corporation’s equity holdings consist of a small CRA-qualified mutual fund with a book and fair market value of $5.3$5.5 million. The CRA fund is a Small Business Association (SBA) variable rate fund with a stable dollar price. The Corporation also has a small portfolio of bank stocks with a book value of $307,000$754,000 and fair market value of $368,000$743,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. The equity holdings make up 1.8%2.1% of the Corporation’s securities available for sale.

 

All securities, bonds, and equity holdings are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. Should any impairment occur, management would write down the security to a fair market value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, with the amount of the write down recorded as a loss on securities.

 

Each quarter, management sets portfolio allocation guidelines and adjusts the security portfolio strategy generally based on the following factors:

 

·ALCO positions as to liquidity, credit risk, interest rate risk, and fair value risk
·Growth of the loan portfolio
·Slope of the U.S. Treasury curve
·Relative performance of the various instruments, including spread to U.S. Treasuries
·Duration and average length of the portfolio
·Volatility of the portfolio
·Direction of interest rates
·Economic factors impacting debt securities

 

The investment policy of the Corporation imposes guidelines to ensure diversification within the portfolio. The diversity specifications provide opportunities to shorten or lengthen duration, maximize yield, and mitigate credit risk. The composition of the securities portfolio based on fair market value is shown in the following table.

Since September of 2016, the most significant change occurring within the Corporation’s securities portfolio was an increase in U.S. agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), and a decrease in U.S. government agency securities.

 

The Corporation’s U.S. government agency sector decreased by $4.4$2.7 million, or 13.4%7.9%, since SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2018, with the weighting decreased from 11.1%10.8% of the portfolio to 8.9%10.4%. In the past, management’s goal was to maintain agency securities at approximately 15% of the securities portfolio. In the current rate environment, management is comfortable maintaining agencies at a level of approximately 10% of the portfolio. This sector is also important in maintaining adequate risk weightings of the portfolio, to ensure sufficient U.S. government securities for pledging purposes, and importantly to ladder out a schedule of agency and corporate maturities over the next 5 years to avoid any concentration of maturities. Next to U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agencies are viewed as the safest instruments and are considered by management as a foundational portion of the portfolio.

 

The Corporation’s U.S. agency MBS and CMO sectors have increasedremained relatively unchanged in total since SeptemberJune 30, 2016, and the weightings have changed with significantly more CMOs and only slightly more MBS as of September 30, 2017, compared to September 30, 2016.2018. The Corporation’s CMO portfolio has increaseddecreased by $19.0$1.4 million, or 54.2%2.4%, while MBS balances have only increased by $3.4 million, or 6.8%,did not materially change when comparing SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, to balances at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. These two security types both consist of mortgage instruments that pay monthly interest and principal, however the behavior of the two types vary according to the structure of the mortgage pool or CMO instrument. Management desires to maintain a substantial amount of MBS and CMOs in order to assist in adding to and maintaining a stable five-year ladder of cash flows, which is important in providing stable liquidity and interest rate risk positions. Unlike the typical U.S. agency paper, corporate bonds, and obligations of states and political subdivisions, which only pay principal at final maturity, the U.S. agency MBS and CMO securities pay contractual monthly principal and interest, but are also subject to additional prepayment of principal. The combined effect of all of these instruments paying monthly principal and interest provides the Corporation with a significant and reasonably stable base cash flow.flow of approximately $2.0 million. Cash flows coming off of MBS and CMOs do slow down and speed up as interest rates increase or decrease, which has an impact on the portfolio’s length and yield. As interest rates decline, prepayment of principal on securities increases, the duration of the security shortens, and the yield declines as more amortization is required on premium bonds. When interest rates increase, the opposite of this occurs. Despite the fluctuations that occur in terms of monthly cash flow as a result of changing prepayment speeds, the monthly cash flow generated by U.S. agency MBS and CMO securities is reasonably stable and as a group is significant,material, and helps to soften or smooth out the Corporation’s total monthly cash flow from all securities.

 

Management invested in asset-backed securities in 2018 in the form of floating rate student loan pools in an effort to provide an instrument that will perform well in a rates-up environment and offset the interest rate risk of the longer fixed-rate municipal bonds. These securities provide a variable rate return materially above the overnight Federal funds rate in a safe investment with a risk rating very similar to that of U.S. Agency bonds. The asset-backed securities generally provide monthly principal and interest payments to complement the Corporation’s ongoing cash flow. Asset-backed securities were $13.9 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to $11.4 million as of December 31, 2018, and $7.7 million as of June 30, 2018.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the fair value of the Corporation’s corporate bonds increaseddecreased by $3.2$8.9 million, or 6.0%14.4%, from balances at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. Like any security, corporate bonds have both positive and negative qualities and management must evaluate these securities on a risk versus reward basis. Corporate bonds add diversity to the portfolio and provide strong yields for short maturities; however, by their very nature, corporate bonds carry a high level of credit risk should the entity experience financial difficulties. Management stands to possibly lose the entire principal amount if the entity that issued the corporate paper fails. As a result of the higher level of credit risk taken by purchasing a corporate bond, management has in place procedures to closely analyze the financial health of the company as well as policy guidelines. The guidelines include both maximum investment by issuer and minimal credit ratings that must be met in order for management to purchase a corporate bond. Financial analysis is conducted prior to every corporate bond purchase with ongoing monitoring performed on all securities held.

 

Obligations of states and political subdivisions, or municipal bonds, are tax-free securities that generally provide the highest yield in the securities portfolio. They also carry the longest duration on average of any instrument in the securities portfolio. In the prolonged period of historically low interest rates, the municipal bond sector has far outperformed all other sectors of the portfolio. Municipal tax-equivalent yields generally start well above other taxable bonds. These instruments also experience significant fair market value gains and losses when interest rates decrease and increase. However, due to the decrease in the Federal tax rate as enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, municipal yields do not outperform the other segments of the securities portfolio to the same degree as years prior to 2018. While the tax-equivalent yields are still good, the benefit of the tax-free income was impacted resulting in the sales of a number of municipal bonds in the fourth quarter of 2017. Additional municipal securities were sold throughout 2018 to help provide needed liquidity and to reposition the portfolio for better rates-up performance. Due to purchases,these sales, the fair market value of municipal holdings has increaseddecreased by $1.7$9.6 million, or 1.4%9.4%, from SeptemberJune 30, 20162018 to SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. Municipal bonds represented 37.9%31.1% of the securities portfolio as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to 40.2%32.6% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. The Corporation’s investment policy limits municipal holdings to 125% of Tier 2 capital. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, municipal holdings amounted to 109%76% of Tier 2 capital.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

By policy, management is to identify and recommend whether to hold or sell securities with credit ratings that have fallen below minimum policy credit ratings required at the time of purchase, or below investment grade. Management monitors the security ratings on a monthly basis and reviews quarterly with the Board of Directors. Management, with Board approval, determines whether it is in the Corporation’s best interest to continue to hold any security that has fallen below policy guidelines or below investment grade based on the expectation of recovery of market value or improved performance. At this time management has elected, and the Board has approved, holding all securities that have fallen below initial policy guidelines. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, no securities have fallen below investment grade.

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, nineteen2019, seventeen of the thirty-threetwenty-eight corporate securities held by the Corporation showed an unrealized holding loss. These securities with unrealized holding losses were valued at 99.1%99.7% of book value. The Corporation’s investment policy requires that corporate bonds have a minimum credit rating of A3 by Moody’s or A- by S&P or Fitch at the time of purchase, or an average or composite rating of A-. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, all but threetwo of the corporate bonds had at least one A3 or A- rating by one of the two predominate credit rating services, Moody’s and S&P. The three unrelatedThese two corporate bonds withwere from the same issuer and had a total book value of $6.7$3.0 million, and did not have an A3 or A- rating as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. These bonds were all rated Moody’s Baa1 and S&P BBB+, which are two levels above the minimum required to be considered investment grade. Management conducts ongoing monitoring of these bonds and has chosen to continue to hold these bonds with Board approval. In addition, there are twelvethirteen corporate bond instruments that have split ratings with the highest rating within the Corporation’s initial purchase policy guidelines and the lower rating outside of management guidelines, but all are still investment grade. The twelvethirteen bonds have a book value of $20.0$22.8 million with a $57,000$32,000 unrealized loss, or 0.1% decline, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. Management conducts ongoing monitoring of these bonds with the Board approving holding these securities on a quarterly basis. Currently, there are no indications that any of these bonds would discontinue contractual payments.

 

The Corporation’s investment policy requires that municipal bonds not carrying insurance have a minimum credit rating of A3 by Moody’s or A- by S&P or Fitch at the time of purchase. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, no municipal bonds carried a credit rating under these levels.

 

As a result of the fallout of the financial crisis, the major rating services have tightened their credit underwriting standards and are quicker to downgrade municipalities when financial conditions deteriorate. Additionally, the prolonged weak economy has reduced revenue streams for many municipalities and has called into question the basic premise that municipalities have unlimited power to tax, i.e. the ability to raise taxes to compensate for revenue shortfalls. As a result of this environment, managementManagement utilizes several municipal surveillance reports and engages an independent non-brokerage service third party to perform enhanced municipal credit evaluation. Management will typically sell municipal securities if negative trends in financial performance are found and/or ratings have declined to levels deemed unacceptable. As a result of the above monitoring and actions taken to proactively sell weaker municipal credits, the Corporation’s entire municipal bond portfolio consists of investment grade credits.

 

The entire securities portfolio is reviewed monthly for credit risk and evaluated quarterly for possible impairment. The Corporation’s municipal and corporate bonds present the largest credit risk and highest likelihood for any possible impairment. Due to the ability for corporate credit situations to change rapidly and ongoing nationwide concerns of pension obligations impacting municipalities, management iscontinues to closely monitoringmonitor all corporate and municipal securities.

The consumer residential real estate between December 31, 2016 and Septembercategory represents the largest group of loans for the Corporation. The consumer residential real estate category of total loans increased from $266.3 million on June 30, 2017 offset2018, to $318.2 million on June 30, 2019, a large portion of the growth occurring in other areas of the portfolio, resulting in somewhat slower growth. Commercial19.5% increase. This category includes closed-end fixed rate or adjustable-rate residential real estate loans saw a decline in balances with increases in consumer real estate loanssecured by 1-4 family residential properties, including first and commercialjunior liens, and industrial loans more than offsetting this decrease.floating rate home equity loans. The biggest decline in the commercial real estate sector has been in agricultural mortgages, which declined due to a reorganization of the Bank’s agricultural lending team, increased competitive pressures, including new market entrants, and headwinds in the agricultural marketplace impacting dairy farmers and poultry producers. In the consumer real estate sector, 1-4 family residential mortgages account for the vast majority of residential real estate loans with fixed and floating home equity loans making up the remainder. Historically, the entire consumer residential real estate component of the loan portfolio has averaged close to 40% of total loans. As of June 30, 2018, this percentage was 42.5%, and as of June 30, 2019, it increased to 44.4%. Management expects the consumer residential real estate category to increase at a similar pace throughout the remainder of 2019 due to a continued effort to increase mortgage volume and lower interest rates, which should continue to motivate home buyers and those refinancing. The economic conditions for consumers have also improved slightly going into 2019. Consumer disposable income is higher and home valuations have increased, which has increased the expansionequity available in their homes. These favorable conditions to originate mortgages are subject to market conditions that can change rather quickly. Mortgage volume would slow should interest rates reverse course and home valuations decline later in 2019.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The first lien 1-4 family mortgages increased by $48.0 million, or 24.8%, from June 30, 2018, to June 30, 2019. These first lien 1-4 family loans made up 73% of the residential real estate total as of June 30, 2018, and 76% as of June 30, 2019. The vast majority of the first lien 1-4 family closed end loans consist of single family personal first lien residential mortgages and home equity loans, with the remainder consisting of 1-4 family residential non-owner-occupied mortgages. In the first six months of 2019, purchase money origination constituted 67% of the Corporation’s mortgage divisionoriginations with construction-only and successful effortsconstruction-permanent loans making up 30% of that.  Total production increased by 16% over the previous quarter and year-to-date originations were up by 20% compared to expand the same period in 2018.  The growth in the Corporation’s held-for-investment portfolio continued to be concentrated in its ARM products. As of June 30, 2019, ARM balances were $110.3 million, 15.3% higher compared to December 31, 2018.   During the first half of 2019, 23% of all ARMs booked were 10/1 ARMs, 47% were 7/1 ARMs, and 30% were 5/1 ARMs.  The ARM product line and increaseis beneficial to the sales forceCorporation as it limits the interest rate risk to capture a greater sharemuch shorter time period.  As of the local mortgage market. Homeend of the quarter, 60% of the residential loan portfolio of the Corporation was adjustable rate mortgages.  Market conditions were favorable in the second quarter and combined with an increase in overall production, the gains on the sale of mortgages increased by 19% quarter-over-quarter and by 18% over the prior year’s second quarter. 

As of June 30, 2019, the remainder of the residential real estate loans consisted of $10.5 million of fixed rate junior lien home equity loans, and $66.5 million of variable rate home equity lines of credit have grown(HELOCs). This compares to $10.2 million of fixed rate junior lien home equity loans, and $62.9 million of HELOCs as of June 30, 2018. Therefore, combined, these two types of home equity loans increased from $73.1 million to $77.0 million, an increase of 5.3%. The Prime rate had remained at a very low level of 3.25% for seven years beginning in responseDecember of 2008 and increased by 25 basis points to 3.50% in December of 2015 and another 25 basis points to 3.75% in December of 2016 before increasing three more times in 2017 and 4 times in 2018 ending the year at a rate of 5.50%. The majority of borrowers chose variable-rate HELOC products throughout 2018 instead of fixed-rate home equity loans. In addition, multiple HELOC specials with a low interestintroductory rate environment encouragingwere offered in 2018, which encouraged more HELOC activity resulting in the increase in this category of loans since the prior year. While 2018 did not see a significant shift away from the variable-rate HELOC product, more consumers did move to a fixed rate product in the first half of 2019 as rates had increased several times throughout the past number of years. However, with the Federal Reserve rate decrease in the third quarter of 2019, it is likely customers may move back to utilizemore variable rate consumer borrowings in conjunction with an attractive six-month introductory rate of 1.99%, which the Corporation has offered for all of 2016 andproduct. Management expects HELOC activity to increase during the first nine monthsremainder of 2017.2019 as customers may elect to borrow more funds on their lines with lower interest rates.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation experienced declines inCorporation’s commercial construction asloan balances remained very stable from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019 with no growth or decline in balances. This is a result of a number of construction projects completed and were converted into permanent financing. The Corporation did not originate any new large construction contracts to replacefinancing matching those that rolled off. Management was experiencing some demand for smaller residential builds like construction on existing lots but no new large scale projects. Commercial construction loans decreased by $10.0 million, or 34.8%, from September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2017.

These loans include 1-4 family residential mortgages, home equity term loans, and home equity lines of credit. Personal residential mortgages account for 70.9% of total residential real estate loans and 29.0% of total loans, up from 70.2% and 25.3% respectively, as of September 30, 2016. Traditional 10 to 20-year personal mortgages originated from and held by the Corporation have consistently been the largest single product of the Corporation’s loan portfolio. During 2016 and through the first nine months of 2017, the Corporation experienced significant increases in both portfolio and secondary market production. The volume of residential mortgage production since September 30, 2016, led to an 18.1% increase in 1-4 family residential mortgage balances along with a significant shift from fixed rate loans to interim adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs), climbing from 26% of the residential loan portfolio as of September 30, 2016, to 36% at September 30, 2017. This shift in production has decreased the Bank’s interest rate risk profile and this trend is expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2017. Total personal residential mortgage balances increased by $25.9 million, or 18.1%, from September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2017, and $18.7 million, or 12.5%, from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017.2019.

 

The Corporation generally only holds 10 to 20-year fixed rate mortgages, or mortgages with an initial fixed rate period of 10 years or less (adjustable rate mortgages), and will sell any mortgage originated over a 20-year fixed rate term.  The majority of the fixed rate mortgages are sold with servicing retained.  In the first nine months of 2017, purchase money origination constituted 66% of the Corporation’s mortgage originations with construction-only and construction-permanent loans making up 34% of that.  The growth of the Corporation’s held-for-investment portfolio continued to be concentrated in its ARM products; ARM balances were $18.0 million, or 42.2% higher compared to December 31, 2016, while the fixed rate balances dropped by $5.7 million, or 7.5%, during the same time period for net growth of $12.3 million in the residential portfolio.   Similar in nature to 2016 trends, 68% of all ARMs booked were 7/1 ARMs, 28% were 5/1 ARMs, and 4% were 3/1 ARMs.  The ARM product is beneficial to the Corporation as it limits the interest rate risk to a much shorter time period.  The ARM loans have continued to grow rapidly as a percentage of the portfolio, amounting to over 46% of the total personal mortgages held by the Corporation as of September 30, 2017.  As of September 30, 2017, the Corporation had $60.5 million of ARMs held in the portfolio. Management expects internal mortgage loan production to continue to develop throughout the remainder of 2017 as the Corporation focuses on strategically growing thisother area of the portfolio.

Second mortgagescommercial lending is non-real estate secured commercial lending, referred to as commercial and home equity loans, fixed or variable rate, make up the remainder of the Corporation’s residential real estate loans. The purposes of these loans can vary but for this analysis the loan typeindustrial lending. Commercial and form of lien and collateral govern the placement of these loans under home equity loans. Requests for fixed-rate home equity loans have been very light during this prolonged period of historically low rates, while home equity lines of credit, which float on the Prime rate, have been the preferred home equity financing. The growth of the Corporation’s home equity lines of credit accelerated during 2016 and in the first nine months of 2017 as a result of an attractive HomeLine product with a low introductory rate of 1.99% for six months. After that period, the home equity line would revert to Prime or Prime plus a margin depending on the strength of the borrower. Home equity lines of credit increased from $50.3 million on September 30, 2016, to $58.0 million on September 30, 2017, a $7.7 million, or 15.3% increase.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation continues to offer the low 1.99% six-month introductory rate on the HomeLine product and expects similar growth to occur throughout the remainder of 2017. This trend is likely to slow down if the Prime rate continues to increase over time. It is expected that when the Federal Reserve acts to increase the overnight rate again, and the Prime rate increases, the reaction will be that floating rate loans will become less attractive to borrowers who will act to protect themselves against further rate increases by converting to a fixed rate loan. Since September 30, 2016, the fixed rate home equity loans have increased by $0.9 million, or 8.7%, and are expected to increase slightly throughout the remainder of 2017 given the likelihood of one more Federal Reserve rate increase. Management anticipates moderate growth in the residential real estate area throughout the remainder of 2017 as longer term rates have remained lower than anticipated and management continues to add resources in an effort to further expand the mortgage department, which remains an area of strategic focus for the Corporation.

Commercialindustrial loans not secured by real estate areaccounted for 13.8% of total loans as of June 30, 2019, compared to 14.0% as of June 30, 2018. In scope, the commercial and industrial loan sector, at 13.8% of total loans, is significantly smaller than the Corporation’s commercial real estate sector at 40.6% of total loans. This is consistent with management’s credit preference for obtaining real estate collateral when making commercial loans. The balance of total commercial and industrial loans increased from $87.5 million at June 30, 2018, to $98.8 million at June 30, 2019, a 12.9% increase. This category of loans generally includes unsecured lines of credit, truck, equipment, and receivable and inventory loans, in addition to tax-free loans to municipalities. Based on current levels of demand for these types of loans and the higher level of commercial and industrial expertise that the Corporation now has, management anticipates that these loans will experience moderate growth in 2019.

The Corporation provides credit to many small and medium-sized businesses. Much of this credit is in the form of Prime-based lines of credit to local businesses where the line may not be secured by real estate, portfolio. These commercial and industrial loans, referred to as C&I loans, are generally extendedbut is based on the health of the borrower with other security interests on accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, or through personal guarantees. Commercial and industrial loans increased to $61.3 million at June 30, 2019, a $13.8 million, or 29.1% increase, from the $47.5 million at June 30, 2018. The commercial borrower. They include both fixed rateand industrial agricultural loans grew by $2.4 million, or 13.2%, and Prime-based variable rate loans. The variable ratethe tax-free loans are generally indeclined by $5.0 million, or 22.9%, from balances at June 30, 2018, primarily due to the formpayoff of a business line of credit. The Corporation’s security position asloan relationship to these loans can be further strengthened by obtaining the personal guarantees of the owners. This is a preferred approach to commercial accounts as it allows the Corporation to pursue assets of the owner in addition to assets of the commercial entity. Management can also obtain additional collateral by securing the inventory of the business. The portfolio of all types of C&I loans showed an increase of $7.3 million, or 10.0%, from September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, this category of commercial loans was made up of $41.7 million of C&I loans (outside of tax-free and agricultural loans), $19.6 million of tax-free loans, and $18.5 million of agriculture loans. In the case of the Corporation, all of the $19.6 million of tax-free loans are toone local municipalities. C&I loans remained unchanged since September 30, 2016, tax-free loans increased by $8.1 million, or 70.9%, and agriculture loans decreased by $0.9 million, or 4.5%, compared to balances at September 30, 2016. The increase in tax-free loans occurred as a result of scheduled draws on tax-free loans to several municipalities originated in 2016.municipality.

 

The consumer loan portfolio increaseddecreased to $5.2$8.4 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, from $4.7$10.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. Consumer loans made up 0.9%1.2% of total loans on SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, and 0.8%1.6% on June 30, 2018. The decrease in consumer loans since June 30, 2018, was primarily due to a $5.0 million consumer purpose loan made to a high net worth customer in the second quarter of loans on September 30, 2016.2018 that has paid down a portion of the balance since that time. The long-term trend over the past decade has seen homeowners turning to the equity in their homes to finance cars and education rather than traditional consumer loans for those expenditures.that are generally unsecured. The new $5.0 million consumer loan was secured. Slightly higher demand for unsecured credit is just slightly outpacingbeing outpaced by principal payments on existing loans resulting in the small increasedecrease in balances. Management anticipates that the Corporation’s level of consumer loans will likely remain stable as a percentage of the portfolio, as the need for additional unsecured credit is generally offset by those borrowers wishing to reduce debt levels and move away from the higher cost of unsecured financing relative to other forms of real estate secured financing.

The decreaseincrease from the prior year was primarily due to higher levels of nonaccrual loans partially offset by lower levels of non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more partially offset by the addition of one agriculture loan restructured in the second quarter of 2017 that is now considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). The loan is considered a TDR because the borrower was granted a six-month interest-only period on this loan. The decrease in non-accrual loans was due to pay downs received on a business mortgage causing a reduction in outstanding balance on this loan. Additionally, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing decreased by $412,000 primarily due to loans that were previously past due being brought current due to payments received.troubled debt restructurings. Management continues to monitor delinquency trends and the level of non-performing loans closely. At this time, management believes that the potential for material losses related to non-performing loans is increasing with the level of classified loans increasing from the lower levelsdelinquencies slightly higher than those experienced in 2016.2018.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is established to cover any losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance each quarter based upon a detailed analysis and calculation of the allowance for loan losses. This calculation is based upon a systematic methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The calculation includes estimates and is based upon losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance calculation includes specific provisions for under-performing loans and general allocations to cover anticipated losses on all loan types based on historical losses. The calculation is also influenced by nine qualitative factors that are adjusted on a quarterly basis as needed. Based on the quarterly loan loss calculation, management will adjust the allowance for loan losses through the provision as necessary. Changes to the allowance for loan losses during the year are primarily affected by five main factors:

 

·Historical loan losses
·Qualitative factor adjustments including levels of delinquent and non-performing loans
·Growth trends of the loan portfolio
·Recovery of loans previously charged off
·Provision for loan losses

 

Strong credit and collateral policies have been instrumental in producing a favorable history of loan losses for the Corporation. The Allowance for Loan Losses table below shows the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. At the bottom of the table, two benchmark percentages are shown. The first is net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding for the year. The second is the total allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans.

Charge-offs for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, were $30,000,$23,000, compared to $47,000$360,000 for the same period in 2016.2018. Management typically charges off unsecured debt over 90 days delinquent with little likelihood of recovery. In the first ninesix months of 20172019, the Corporation charged off $23,000 related to several small consumer loans. Recoveries were higher in the first six months of 2019 as the Corporation recovered $44,000 related to one commercial loan relationship and 2016, only small loans classified assmaller amounts related to other loans. Recoveries exceeded charges-offs in the six months ended June 30, 2019. In the first six months of 2018, a large commercial and industrial loansloan relationship was charged off as well as several small consumer loans were charged off. Recoveries exceeded charge-offs in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as well as 2016. In 2017, several recoveries on commercial and industrial loans as well as consumer loans were received and in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a large commercial and industrial recovery was received as well as small real estate and consumer recoveries resulting in the net recovery position for the year-to-date periods.loans.

 

The allowance as a percentage of total loans represents the portion of the total loan portfolio for which an allowance has been provided. Management regularly reviews the overall risk profile of the loan portfolio and the impact that current economic trends have on the Corporation’s loans. The financial industry typically evaluates the quality of loans on a scale with “unclassified” representing healthy loans, “special mention” being the first indication of credit concern, and several successive classified ratings indicating further credit declines of “substandard,” “doubtful,” and, ultimately, “loss.”

 

The Corporation’s level of classified loans was $17.8 million on SeptemberJune 30, 2017, was up $7.12019, compared to $16.0 million or 51.1%, from the balance as of Septemberon June 30, 2016. The Corporation’s total classified loans based on outstanding balances were $21.0 million as of September 30, 2017, $14.2 million as of December 31, 2016, and $13.9 million as of September 30, 2016.2018. Total classified loans did not materially increase untilhave increased during the first quarterhalf of 2017 when a large business relationship2019 primarily related to the downgrade of an agricultural customer with over $5$1.4 million of loan balances was classified as substandard. In addition, a $2 million agricultural relationship was also placed on substandard in March 2017. These two reclassifications were responsible for a $7 million increase in classified loans from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017. In April of 2017, the Corporation received a $1.7 million payoff on the $2 million substandard agricultural relationship. Classified loans grew further in the second quarter as two agricultural relationships with balances of $3.3 million were classified as substandard, along with two business customers with $2 million of loanoutstanding balances. During the third quarter of 2017, payoffs were received on two classified loan relationships resulting in a decline in classified loans between June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017.

Having more loans in a classified status could result in a larger allowance as higher amounts of projected historical losses and qualitative factors are attached to these loans. In addition to this impact, management performs a specific allocation test on these classified loans. There was $98,000$106,000 of specifically allocated allowance against the classified loans as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, and no2019, $132,000 of specific allocation as of December 31, 2016, or September2018, and $79,000 of specific allocation as of June 30, 2016. Classified loans could require larger provision amounts due to a higher potential risk of loss, so2018. Typically, as the classified loan balances fluctuate, the associated specific allowance applied to them fluctuates, resulting in a lower or higher required allowance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The net charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans outstanding indicates the percentage of the Corporation’s total loan portfolio that has been charged off during the period, after reducing charge-offs by recoveries. The Corporation continues to experience very low net charge-off percentages due to strong credit practices. For the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, there were more recoveries than charge-offs resulting in a net recovery position. Management continually monitors delinquencies, classified loans, and non-performing loans closely in regard to how they may impact charge-offs in the future. Management does anticipate chargingis currently monitoring several business loans to one borrower for possible charge off. Future action will be dependent on the timing and amounts of payments being made on these loans. It is typical for several smaller consumer loans to be charged off one commercial loaneach quarter. The actual charge offs have been running at very low levels, therefore it is likely charge offs in the fourth quartersecond half of 2017 that was on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2017. Management anticipates that charge-off to2019 would be approximately $275,000. The particular business has not been operating since 2016 and the property is expected to go to sheriff salehigher than those experienced in the first quarterhalf of 2018. Management is not aware of any other significant charge-offs that could occur in the fourth quarter of 2017.2019. Management practices are in place to reduce the number and severity of losses. In regard to severely delinquent loans, management attempts to improve the Corporation’s collateral or credit position and, in the case of a loan workout, intervene to minimize additional charge-offs.

Regulatory Stock

 

The Corporation owns multiple forms of regulatory stock that is required in order to be a member of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and members of banks such as the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (ACBB). The Corporation’s $6.1$7.0 million of regulatory stock holdings as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, consisted of $5.9$6.8 million of FHLB of Pittsburgh stock, $151,000 of FRB stock, and $37,000 of Atlantic Community Bancshares, Inc. stock, the Bank Holding Company of ACBB. All of these stocks are valued at a stable dollar price, which is the price used to purchase or liquidate shares; therefore, the investment is carried at book value and there is no fair market value adjustment.

 

The Corporation’s investment in FHLB stock is required for membership in the organization. The amount of stock required is dependent upon the relative size of outstanding FHLB borrowings and mortgage activity. Excess stock is typically repurchased from the Corporation at par if the borrowings decline to a predetermined level. The Corporation’s FHLB stock position was $5.9$6.8 million on SeptemberJune 30, 2017, $5.22019, $6.2 million on December 31, 2016,2018, and $5.0$6.1 million on SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2018, with no excess capital stock position. Any future stock repurchases would be the result of lower borrowing balances. Stock repurchases by the FHLB occur every quarter.

 

The FHLB of Pittsburgh has paid a quarterly2018 and 2019 dividend since the resumption of their dividend in the first quarter of 2012. In the first two quarters of 2016, FHLB dividend yield was 5.00% annualized on activity stock and 3.00% annualized on membership stock. The stock declarations made on FHLB stock by FHLB of Pittsburgh in the third and fourth quarters of 2016 and the first, second, and third quarters of 2017, iswere at a 5.00%6.75% annualized yield on activity stock and 2.00%3.50% annualized yield on membership stock. Most of the Corporation’s dividend is based on the activity stock, which is based on the amount of borrowings and mortgage activity with FHLB. Management continues to monitor the financial condition of the FHLB quarterly to assess its ability to continue to regularly repurchase excess capital stock and pay a dividend.

Deposits

 

The Corporation’s total ending deposits at June 30, 2019, increased by $21.3$21.9 million, or 2.6%2.4%, and $46.2by $63.5 million, or 5.8%7.2%, from December 31, 2016,2018, and SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2018, respectively. Customer deposits are the Corporation’s primary source of funding for loans and securities. In the past few years, the economic concerns and volatility of the equity markets continued to lead customers to banks for safe places to invest money, despite historically low interest rates. The mix of the Corporation’s deposit categories has changed moderately since SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2018, with the changes being a $41.1$19.2 million, or 15.8%5.9% increase in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, a $2.5$2.9 million, or 11.6% decrease15.3% increase in interest bearing demand accounts, a $13.7$5.0 million, or 14.9% decrease5.7% increase in NOW balances, a $13.1$36.4 million, or 15.3%35.5% increase in money market balances, a $21.1$5.4 million, or 12.6%2.7% increase in savings account balances, and a $9.8$1.5 million, or 6.2%1.1% decrease in time deposit balances, and a $3.7 million, or 100.0% decrease in brokered CD balances.

 

The significant growth across most categories of core deposit accounts is a direct result of the local market disruption caused by two large mergers, which impactedopening of new branch offices as well as the three counties the Corporation primarily serves.expansion of business at existing branch offices. The Corporation has gained many new customers as a result of being a long-standing safe community bank known for offering understandable financial products and services with lower fees. TheWhile the prolonged historically low interest rates also continue to aidhelped the Corporation in growing core deposits as a result of very little difference betweenin 2016 and prior years, this has slowed down in recent years due to the core deposit rates and short-term time deposit rates. CustomersFederal Reserve rate increases that have given customers more bank-related options in the market. While customers still view demand deposit, money market and savings accounts as the safest, most convenient place to maintain funds for maximum flexibility.flexibility, there are more opportunities to invest in other funds outside of banks that can now compete with higher interest rates. Management believes these deposit account typesbalances will continuegrow through the remainder of 2019 at an annualized pace similar to hold higher balances until short-termthe first six months of 2019, as interest rates potentially decline further due to Federal Reserve rate actions.

While non-interest bearing demand deposits increased from June 30, 2018, there was a decrease of $23.6 million, or 6.4%, from December 31, 2018. Similarly, money market accounts increased by $30.2 million, or 27.8%, for the same time period. This shift between non-interest bearing accounts and money market accounts was caused by the reclassification of a pool of deposits held on balance sheet related to a cash management sweep account. These deposits, totaling $30.0 million, were reclassified as money market deposits in 2019 to better reflect the nature of the product. This recategorization caused a decline of $30 million in non-interest bearing demand accounts with an offsetting increase further.in money market deposit accounts.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation has been a stable presence in the local market area that has experienced several large bank mergers.mergers over the past several years. Three new convenient locations were added since 2016, significantly expanding the Corporation’s footprint, with a presence in three counties with a total of thirteen branch locations. The Corporation has a history of offering very competitive interest rates and fair and understandable service fees as well as attractive interest rates because of a strong commitment to the customers and the communities that it serves. Management has always priced products and services in a manner that makes them affordable for all customers. This in turn creates a high degree of customer loyalty and a stable deposit base. Additionally, as financial institutions have come under increased scrutiny from both regulators and customers, the Corporation has maintained an outstanding reputation. Management believes the Corporation’s deposit base has benefited as a result of a growing desire by customers to seek a longstanding, reliable financial institution as a partner to meet their financial needs.

 

Time deposits are typically a more rate-sensitive product, making them a source of funding that is prone to balance variations depending on the interest rate environment and how the Corporation’s time deposit rates compare with the local market rates. Time deposits fluctuate as consumers search for the best rates in the market, with less allegiance to any particular financial institution. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, time deposit balances, excluding brokered deposits, had decreased $7.9$1.5 million, or 5.0%1.1%, and $9.8from June 30, 2018, but increased $6.1 million, or 6.2%4.7%, from December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively.2018. The Corporation has experienced a slow and steady shift in deposit trends over the past five years as customers have moved money from time deposits into core checking and savings accounts. With minimal differences between shorter term CD rates and interest bearing non-maturity deposits, customers are more inclined to accumulate their funds in a liquid account that can be accessed at any time. This has resulted in declining time deposit balances and more significant growth in the core deposit areas. Management anticipatesHowever, in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Corporation began offering two odd-term CD products with more attractive rates that encouraged customers to invest. These promotional CD products have been effective in growing the recent declines in time deposits will likely continue until interest rates increasedeposit balances since December 31, 2018, and cause more of a separation between longer-term rates and overnight rates.management expects continued growth throughout 2019.

Time deposits have FDIC insurance coverage insuring no loss of principal up to $250,000 per account, based on certain account structures. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the $250,000 FDIC insurance coverage on all deposit accounts was made permanent. This has caused an increase in the percentage of time deposits over $100,000 held by the Corporation. While total time deposits continue to decline in the present environment, the percentage of time deposits over $100,000 compared to total time deposits has increased and is expected to remain at these higher percentages due to the FDIC coverage.

 

 

Borrowings

 

Total borrowings were $68.4$74.6 million, $69.6$73.3 million, and $75.8$71.1 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, December 31, 2016,2018, and SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2018, respectively. Of these amounts, $8.3$7.9 million and $12.1$2.7 million reflect short-term funds foras of December 31, 2016,2018 and SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2018, respectively, with no short-term funds outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. Short-term funds are used for immediate liquidity needs and are not typically part of an ongoing liquidity or interest rate risk strategy; therefore, they fluctuate more rapidly. When short-term funds are used, they are purchased through correspondent and member bank relationships as overnight borrowings or through the FHLB for terms less than one year.

 

Total long-term borrowings, borrowings initiated for terms longer than one year, were $68.4$74.6 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, $61.32019, $65.4 million as of December 31, 2016,2018, and $63.8$68.4 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. The long-term borrowings for the Corporation were made up entirely of FHLB long-term advances at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, December 31, 2016,2018, and SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. FHLB advances are used as a secondary source of funding and to mitigate interest rate risk. These long-term funding instruments are typically a more effective funding instrument in terms of selecting the exact amount, rate, and term of funding rather than trying to source the same through deposits. In this manner, management can efficiently meet known liquidity and interest rate risk needs. Over the course of the past few years, the Corporation has minimally changed the ladder of long-term FHLB borrowings, by replacing maturing advances with new long-term advances typically at rate savings. More recently, withAfter nine Federal Reserve rate increases and a higher but flatter U.S. Treasury curve, new borrowings in 2019 were being initiated at higher interest rates. Market interest rates rising, it is becoming increasingly difficulthave declined significantly, after June 30, 2019 prior to fundthe filing of this report. As a result, management anticipates obtaining new FHLB long-term borrowings in the second half of 2019 at lower interest rates lower than the maturing borrowings.those advances that are maturing. Management will continue to analyze and compare the costs and benefits of borrowing versus obtaining funding from deposits.

 

In order to limit the Corporation’s exposure and reliance to a single funding source, the Corporation’s Asset Liability Policy sets a goal of maintaining the amount of borrowings from the FHLB to 15% of asset size. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation was significantly under this policy guideline at 6.8%6.6% of asset size with $68.4$74.6 million of total FHLB borrowings. The Corporation also has a policy that limits total borrowings from all sources to 150% of the Corporation’s capital. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation was significantly under this policy guideline at 67.8%66.3% of capital with $68.4$74.6 million total borrowings from all sources. The Corporation has maintained FHLB borrowings and total borrowings well within these policy guidelines throughout all of 20162018 and through the first ninesix months of 2017.2019.

Stockholders’ Equity

 

Federal regulatory authorities require banks to meet minimum capital levels. The Corporation, as well as the Bank, as the solely owned subsidiary of the Corporation, maintains capital ratios well above those minimum levels. The risk-weighted capital ratios are calculated by dividing capital by total risk-weighted assets. Regulatory guidelines determine the risk-weighted assets by assigning assets to specific risk-weighted categories. The calculation of tier I capital to risk-weighted average assets does not include an add-back to capital for the amount of the allowance for loan losses, thereby making this ratio lower than the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio.

 

The following tables reflect the capital ratios for the Corporation and Bank compared to the regulatory capital requirements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Dividends play a vital role in the management of capital levels of the Corporation. Management seeks a balance between maintaining a sufficient cushion of excess capital above regulatory limits versus the payment of dividends to the shareholders as a direct return of their investment. Due to a constant stream of stable earnings, the payment of a dividend is needed to maintain capital at acceptable levels in order to provide an adequate return of equity to the shareholders.

 

The Corporation’s dividends per share for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, were $0.84, 3.7% higher than$0.305, a 7.0% increase over the $0.81 per share dividend$0.285 paid out in the first ninesix months of 2016.2018. Dividends are paid from current earnings and available retained earnings. The Corporation’s current capital plan calls for management to maintain tier I capital to average assets between 10.0% and 12.0%. The Corporation’s current tier I capital ratio is 10.2%10.0%. As a secondary measurement, the capital plan also targets a long-term dividend payout ratio in the range of 35% to 40%. This ratio will vary according to income, but over the long term, the Corporation’s goal is to maintain and target a payout ratio within this range. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the payout ratio was 41.8%30.5%. Management’s goal is to maintain all regulatory capital ratios at current levels. Future dividend payout ratios are dependent on the future level of earnings and other factors that impact the level of capital.

 

The amount of unrealized gain or loss on the securities portfolio is reflected, net of tax, as an adjustment to capital, as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the capital section of the consolidated balance sheet. An unrealized gain increases capital, while an unrealized loss reduces capital. This requirement takes the position that, if the Corporation liquidated the securities portfolio at the end of each period, the current unrealized gain or loss on the securities portfolio would directly impact the Corporation’s capital. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation showed an unrealized loss,gain, net of tax, of $2,232,000,$298,000, compared to an unrealized loss of $4,885,000$5,678,000 at December 31, 2016,2018, and an unrealized gainloss of $1,221,000$6,778,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. These unrealized gains and losses, net of tax are excluded from capital when calculating the tier I capital to average assets numbers above. The amount of unrealized gain or loss on the securities portfolio, shown net of tax, as an adjustment to capital, does not include any actual impairment taken on securities, which is shown as a reduction to income on the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income. No impairment was recorded in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, or in the same prior year period. The changes in unrealized gains and losses are due to normal changes in market valuations of the Corporation’s securities as a result of interest rate movements.

 

 

Regulatory Capital Changes

 

In July 2013, the federal banking agencies issued final rules to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The phase-in period for community banking organizations began January 1, 2015, while larger institutions (generally those with assets of $250 billion or more) began compliance on January 1, 2014. The final rules call for the following capital requirements:

 

·A minimum ratio of common equity tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%.
·A minimum ratio of tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 6%.
·A minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%.
·A minimum leverage ratio of 4%.

 

In addition, the final rules established a common equity tier I capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets applicable to all banking organizations. If a banking organization fails to hold capital above the minimum capital ratios and the capital conservation buffer, it will be subject to certain restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. The phase-in period for the capital conservation and countercyclical capital buffers for all banking organizations began on January 1, 2016.

 

Under the initially proposed rules, accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) would have been included in a banking organization’s common equity tier I capital. The final rule allows community banks to make a one-time election not to include these additional components of AOCI in regulatory capital and instead use the existing treatment under the general risk-based capital rules that excludes most AOCI components from regulatory capital. The opt-out election was made by the Corporation with the filing of the first quarter Call Report as of March 31, 2015.

The final rules permanently grandfather non-qualifying capital instruments (such as trust preferred securities and cumulative perpetual preferred stock) issued before May 19, 2010 for inclusion in the tier I capital of banking organizations with total consolidated assets less than $15 billion as of December 31, 2009, and banking organizations that were mutual holding companies as of May 19, 2010. The Corporation does not have trust preferred securities or cumulative perpetual preferred stock with no plans to add these to the capital structure.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The proposed rules would have also modified the risk-weight framework applicable to residential mortgage exposures to require banking organizations to divide residential mortgage exposures into two categories in order to determine the applicable risk weight. In response to commenter concerns about the burden of calculating the risk weights and the potential negative effect on credit availability, the final rules do not adopt the proposed risk weights but retain the current risk weights for mortgage exposures under the general risk-based capital rules.

 

Consistent with the Dodd-Frank Act, the new rules replace the ratings-based approach to securitization exposures, which was based on external credit ratings, with the simplified supervisory formula approach in order to determine the appropriate risk weights for these exposures. Alternatively, banking organizations may use the existing gross-up approach to assign securitization exposures to a risk weight category or choose to assign such exposures a 1,250 percent risk weight. The Corporation does not securitize assets and has no plans to do so.

 

Under the new rules, mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) and certain deferred tax assets (DTAs) are subject to stricter limitations than those applicable under the previous general risk-based capital rule. The new rules also increased the risk weights for past-due loans, certain commercial real estate loans, and some equity exposures, and made selected other changes in risk weights and credit conversion factors.

 

Management has evaluated the impact of the above rules on levels of the Corporation’s capital. The final rulings were more favorable in terms of the items that would have a more significant impact to the Corporation and community banks in general. Specifically, the AOCI final ruling, which would have had the greatest negative impact to capital, provided the Corporation with an opt-out provision. The final ruling on the risk weightings of mortgages was favorable and did not have a material negative impact. The rulings as to trust preferred securities, preferred stock, and securitization of assets are not applicable to the Corporation, and presently the revised treatment of MSAs is not material to capital. The remaining changes to risk weightings on several items mentioned above such as past-due loans and certain commercial real estate loans do not have a material impact to capital presently, but could change as these levels change.

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

In the normal course of business, the Corporation typically has off-balance sheet arrangements related to loan funding commitments. These arrangements may impact the Corporation’s financial condition and liquidity if they were to be exercised within a short period of time. As discussed in the following liquidity section, the Corporation has in place sufficient liquidity alternatives to meet these obligations. The following table presents information on the commitments by the Corporation as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019.

Significant Legislation

 

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

 

In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) was signed into law. Dodd-Frank is intended to affect a fundamental restructuring of federal banking regulation. Among other things, Dodd-Frank creates a new Financial Stability Oversight Council to identify systemic risks in the financial system and gives federal regulators new authority to take control of and liquidate financial firms. Dodd-Frank additionally creates a new independent federal regulator to administer federal consumer protection laws. Dodd-Frank is expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s business operations as its provisions take effect. It is difficult to predict at this time what specific cumulative impact Dodd-Frank and the yet-to-be-written implementing rules and regulations will have on community banks. However, it is expected that, at a minimum, they will increase the Corporation’s operating and compliance costs and could increase interest expense. Among the provisions that have already or are likely to affect the Corporation are the following:

 

Holding Company Capital Requirements

Dodd-Frank requires the Federal Reserve to apply consolidated capital requirements to bank holding companies that are no less stringent than those currently applied to depository institutions. Under these standards, trust preferred securities will be excluded from tier I capital unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010, by a bank holding company with less than $15 billion in assets. Dodd-Frank additionally requires that bank regulators issue countercyclical capital requirements so that the required amount of capital increases in times of economic expansion and decreases in times of economic contraction, are consistent with safety and soundness.

 

Deposit Insurance

Dodd-Frank permanently increased the maximum deposit insurance amount for banks, savings institutions, and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor. Additionally, on February 7, 2011, the Board of Directors of the FDIC approved a final rule based on the Dodd-Frank Act that revises the assessment base from one based on domestic deposits to one based on assets. This change, which was effective in April 2011, saved the Corporation a significant amount of FDIC insurance premiums from the significantly higher FDIC insurance premiums placed into effect after the financial crisis.

 

Corporate Governance

Dodd-Frank requires publicly traded companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation at least every three years, a non-binding vote regarding the frequency of the vote on executive compensation at least every six years, and a non-binding vote on “golden parachute” payments in connection with approvals of mergers and acquisitions unless previously voted on by shareholders. The SEC has finalized the rules implementing these requirements which took effect on January 21, 2011. The Corporation was exempt from these requirements until January 21, 2013, due to its status as a smaller reporting company. Additionally, Dodd-Frank directs the federal banking regulators to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to executives of depository institutions and their holding companies with assets in excess of $1.0 billion, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded. Dodd-Frank also gives the SEC authority to prohibit broker discretionary voting on elections of directors and executive compensation matters.

 

Limits on Interchange Fees

Dodd-Frank amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer.

 

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Dodd-Frank created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which is granted broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement powers under various federal consumer financial protection laws, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Truth in Lending Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Debt Collection Act, the Consumer Financial Privacy Provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and certain other statutes. The CFPB has examination and primary enforcement authority with respect to depository institutions with $10 billion or more in assets. Smaller institutions will be subject to rules promulgated by the CFPB but will continue to be examined and supervised by federal banking regulators for consumer compliance purposes. The CFPB will have authority to prevent unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices in connection with the offering of consumer financial products. Dodd-Frank authorizes the CFPB to establish certain minimum standards for the origination of residential mortgages including a determination of the borrower’s ability to repay. In addition, Dodd-Frank will allow borrowers to raise certain defenses to foreclosure if they receive any loan other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined by the CFPB. Dodd-Frank permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and standards that are more stringent than those adopted at the federal level and, in certain circumstances, permits state attorneys general to enforce compliance with both the state and federal laws and regulations.

Prohibition Against Charter Conversions of Troubled Institutions

Dodd-Frank prohibits a depository institution from converting from a state to federal charter or vice versa while it is the subject of a cease and desist order or other formal enforcement action or a memorandum of understanding with respect to a significant supervisory matter unless the appropriate federal banking agency gives notice of the conversion to the federal or state authority that issued the enforcement action and that agency does not object within 30 days. The notice must include a plan to address the significant supervisory matter. The converting institution must also file a copy of the conversion application with its current federal regulator which must notify the resulting federal regulator of any ongoing supervisory or investigative proceedings that are likely to result in an enforcement action and provide access to all supervisory and investigative information relating thereto.

Interstate Branching

Dodd-Frank authorizes national and state banks to establish branches in other states to the same extent as a bank chartered by that state would be permitted. Previously, banks could only establish branches in other states if the host state expressly permitted out-of-state banks to establish branches in that state. Accordingly, banks will be able to enter new markets more freely.

Limits on Interstate Acquisitions and Mergers

Dodd-Frank precludes a bank holding company from engaging in an interstate acquisition – the acquisition of a bank outside its home state – unless the bank holding company is both well capitalized and well managed. Furthermore, a bank may not engage in an interstate merger with another bank headquartered in another state unless the surviving institution will be well capitalized and well managed. The previous standard in both cases was adequately capitalized and adequately managed.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As a financial institution, the Corporation is subject to three primary risks:

·Credit risk
·Liquidity risk
·Interest rate risk

The Board of Directors has established an Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) to measure, monitor, and manage these primary market risks. The Asset Liability Policy has instituted guidelines for all of these primary risks, as well as other financial performance measurements with target ranges. The Asset Liability goals and guidelines are consistent with the Strategic Plan goals related to financial performance.

Credit Risk

For discussion on credit risk refer to the sections in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis, on securities, non-performing assets, and allowance for loan losses.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity refers to having an adequate supply of cash available to meet business needs. Financial institutions must ensure that there is adequate liquidity to meet a variety of funding needs, at a minimal cost. Minimal cost is an important component of liquidity. If a financial institution is required to take significant action to obtain funding, and is forced to utilize an expensive source, it has not properly planned for its liquidity needs. Funding new loans and covering deposit withdrawals are the primary liquidity needs of the Corporation. The Corporation uses a variety of funding sources to meet liquidity needs, such as:

·Deposits
·Loan repayments
·Maturities and sales of securities
·Borrowings from correspondent and member banks
·Brokered deposits
·Current earnings

As noted in the discussion on deposits, customers have historically provided the Corporation with a reliable and steadily increasing source of funds liquidity. The Corporation also has in place relationships with other banking institutions for the purpose of buying and selling Federal funds. The lines of credit with these institutions provide immediate sources of additional liquidity. The Corporation currently has unsecured lines of credit totaling $32 million. This does not include amounts available from member banks such as the Federal Reserve Discount Window or the FHLB of Pittsburgh.

Management uses a cumulative maturity gap analysis to measure the amount of assets maturing within various periods versus liabilities maturing in those same periods. A gap ratio of 100% represents an equal amount of assets and liabilities maturing in the same stated period. Management monitors six-month, one-year, three-year, and five-year cumulative gaps to assist in determining liquidity risk. TheAs of June 30, 2019, the six-month, and one-year, gap ratios were within guidelines at September 30, 2017, and the threethree-year, and five-year gap ratios were higher than corporate policy guidelines due primarily to higher cash levelsa larger amount of loans and faster loan prepayment speeds resultingsecurities now maturing in more assets maturing within the stated timeframes.less than five years. The three-yearsix-month gap ratio was 143.1%, and five-year was 142.1%204.2%, compared to an upper guideline of 155%; one-year gap ratio was 148.1%, compared to an upper policy guidelinesguideline of 140%; the three-year gap ratio was 147.8%, compared to an upper guideline of 125%; and 115%the five-year gap ratio was 148.9%, respectively.compared to an upper guideline of 115%. All of the gap ratios are higher than the ratios as of December 31, 2016. Given the fact that we are already in2018. In a rising interest rate cycle with the likelihood of higher rates, in both the near and long term forecasts, the elevatedhigher gap ratios would be more beneficial to the Corporation.

As a result, management has the flexibility of investing in longer-term assets to gain more yield in the current rate environment.

Management hasGap ratios have been maintaining higherincreasing for the Corporation throughout 2018 and through the second quarter of 2019.

Beyond the non-maturity deposits, management is able to assist in offsettingutilize the Corporation’s relatively long securities portfolio, which has helpedlength of wholesale funding instruments to increaseoffset the gap ratios. The strategy of maintaining higher cash levels to improve gap ratios and act as an immediate hedge against liquidity risk and interest rate risk is expected to continue until the securities portfolio is materially shorter in duration. The Corporation’s securities portfolio measurements of duration and price volatility had been increasing between the third quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017 due to the natural extension of MBS and CMO securities as interest rates rise, and the higher levels of long municipal securities held in the portfolio. However, the securities duration and price volatility did decline during the second and third quarters of 2017, and are expected to decline further, due to selective sales of longer duration securities and natural agingdeclining length of the portfolio. Since June 30, 2017 management has been selling longer duration municipal bonds and U.S. agencies, while purchasingCD portfolio as customers invest in shorter duration taxable securities including some floating rate instruments to better position the Corporation forterms in anticipation of higher interest rates.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

ItThe size and length of the Corporation’s core deposit liabilities provide the most extension in terms of lengthening the liabilities on the balance sheet. The length of the core deposits is likelysignificantly longer than the Corporation’s longest term deposits and wholesale borrowings. The mix of the Corporation’s liabilities alone would be sufficient to offset the Corporation’s longer assets and to maintain gap ratios within management’s guidelines.

Deposit growth has been relatively strong throughout the first six months of 2019. Management believes that short termthe uncertainty about future Federal Reserve rate decreases coupled with two CD promotional rates offered since the fourth quarter of 2018, have resulted in higher deposit balances in 2019 compared to first half of 2018. Management desires to control the cost of funds and improve the loan-to-deposit ratio and does have a large securities portfolio to draw liquidity from in the event deposit growth slows down. Throughout the first half of 2019, management did sell some securities in an effort to fund the loan growth that was occurring. With gap ratios that are already sufficiently high, management can put more of the available cash to work earning higher returns. Additionally, cash balances are high enough now that additional loan growth can be funded directly from overnight cash.

Higher gap ratios are beneficial in providing financial flexibility for the Corporation. Higher gap ratios often are an indication that there are more short-term assets on the balance sheet, providing more available liquidity. The quickest way to elevate gap ratios is to retain higher levels of cash on the balance sheet. Management may desire to have higher gap ratios when factoring in future loan growth or other funding changes to the balance sheet. Management may be active in trying to increase gap ratios with the knowledge that once longer-term assets like loans are funded, the gap ratios will decline. Since late 2018, management has been actively working to increase further duringthe Corporation’s loan-to-deposit ratio. As the loan-to-deposit ratio increases and more loans go onto the Corporation’s balance sheet, the asset mix will generally lengthen and the gap ratios will decline. Management does anticipate that more progress will be made on the loan-to-deposit ratio throughout the remainder of 2017, so management’s current position is to maintain high maturity gap percentages in preparation for higher rates, with a goal of reducing the 3 year2019, and 5 yearwould also anticipate that gap ratios once several additionalwill decline.

Management’s desired gap levels will also change due to the direction of interest rates. In December of 2018, the Federal Reserve last increased overnight interest rates. Since then, U.S. Treasury interest rates across the yield curve have declined significantly with the yield curve flattening and even becoming inverted on the short end. On July 31, 2019, prior to the filing of this 10-Q report, the Federal Reserve cut the overnight interest rate for the first time in ten years. Cash and other short term assets were directly impacted by this change in overnight rates. If the Corporation’s liquid assets cannot be deployed into higher yielding longer term assets, then management will reduce the amount of cash and short-term assets to reduce the exposure to future decreases in the overnight rate. Prior to the July 31, 2019 Federal Reserve rate increases occur. Ideally, management would like to have all gap ratios back within guidelines whenaction, the approximate midpoint ofovernight rate was higher than long-term rates such as the rates up cycle is reached. While higher gap ratios help the Corporation when interest rates do rise, the risk in maintaining high gap percentages is that, should interest rates not rise, management will have excess liquidity at lower short term rates.10-year U.S. Treasury. This is referred to as opportunity risk, whereby lower levelsoften an indication of income are being achieved than desired. Carrying high gap ratiosa weaker economy, with a possible need for further rate cuts. Management believes the overnight Federal Funds rate will likely decline one additional time in the current environment could also bring on an increased level of repricing risk should interest rates decrease, which could negatively impact the Corporation’s interest income and margin.2019, with further declines possible in 2020.

 

The risk of liabilities repricing at higher interest rates is increasing slightlydecreasing in the present environment as the Corporation has begundoes not foresee the need to increase someraise deposit interest rates minimally.with potential further Federal Reserve rate decreases possible. A number of the Corporation’s maturing time deposits have already repriced to higher rates by taking advantage of the promotional CD rates. However, a large portion of the Corporation’s deposits are core deposits with little or no repricing expected to occur in the near future. The remainder of the Corporation’s maturing liabilities made up of time deposits and borrowings are generally repricing to slightly higher interest rates. The Corporation’s average cost of funds was 3453 basis points as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, which is very low from an historic perspective. However, thisperspective but higher than the previous quarter and previous year. This cost of funds will likely begincontinue to slowly increase slightly throughout the remainder of 2017.2019. The average cost of funds includes the benefit of non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts. The Corporation’s cost of funds was 3336 basis points as of December 31, 2016,2018 and 35 basis points as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016. The cost of funds savings slowed during 2017, with the low of 31 basis points reached in March 2017. Since then the cost of funds has increased 3 basis points to 34 basis points. Given a higher level of liabilities repricing now management would expect the cost of funds to increase at a slightly faster pace going forward.2018.

 

Deposits havehad not been very rate sensitive for a number of years as a result of the limited desirable rates available to the deposit customer. However, shouldas market interest rates continued to rise further in the remainder of 2017 and during 2018, customer behavior patterns would changechanged and deposits would bebecame more rate sensitive, with a portion potentially leaving the Corporation. The Corporation hashad experienced a steady growth in both non-interest bearing and interest bearing funds during this last prolonged and historically low interest rate environmentcycle, but in 2018 and this trend continued throughout the first nine monthshalf of 2017. This trend can partially be attributed to the market disruption that occurred2019, deposit growth has been slower than in 2016 as a result of recent large local bank mergers that greatly impacted the Corporation’s market area.prior years.

 

The performance of the equity markets also has a bearing on how much of the current deposits will remain at the Corporation. It is management’s observation that since the financial crisis, an element of the Corporation’s deposit customers has been reluctant to redeploy funds presently at banks back into the equity market. Investors have grown weary of the volatility of the equity markets. Negative events, primarily overseas, have caused multiple cycles of sharp equity declines followed by recoveries.

Management’s future asset liability decisions will be dependent upon improvements in asset yield as well as the expected timing of further short-term rate increases.increases or decreases. Management expects that the gap ratios will remain within or above the established guidelines throughout the remainder of 2017.2019.

 

It is important to stress that the gap ratios are a static measurement of the Corporation’s asset liability position. It is only one of many asset liability analysis tools management utilizes to measure, monitor, and manage both liquidity and interest rate risk. The deficiencies with the gap analysis are that it makes no provision for changes to the balance sheet out into the future and would not factor in changes that management would very likely make to mitigate future interest rate risk.

 

In addition to the cumulative maturity gap analysis discussed above, management utilizes a number of liquidity measurements that management believes has advantages over and gives better clarity to the Corporation’s present and projected liquidity than the static gap analysis offers.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation analyzes the following additional liquidity measurements in an effort to monitor and mitigate liquidity risk:

 

·Core Deposit Ratio – Core deposits as a percentage of assets
·Funding Concentration Analysis – Alternative funding sources outside of core deposits as a percentage of assets
·Short-term Funds Availability – Readily available short-term funds as a percentage of assets
·Securities Portfolio Liquidity – Cash flows maturing in one year or less as a percentage of assets and securities
·Readily Available Unencumbered Securities and Cash – Unencumbered securities as a percentage of the securities portfolio and as a percentage of total assets
·Borrowing Limits – Internal borrowing limits in terms of both FHLB and total borrowings
·Three, Six, and Twelve-month Projected Sources and Uses of Funds – Projection of future liquidity positions

 

These measurements are designed to prevent undue reliance on outside sources of funding and to ensure a steady stream of liquidity is available should events occur that would cause a sudden decrease in deposits or large increase in loans or both, which would in turn draw significantly from the Corporation’s available liquidity sources. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation was within guidelines for all of the above measurements except the securities portfolio liquidity as a percentage of the portfolio and as a percentage of total assets. The policy calls for the Corporation to maintain securities portfolio cash flows maturing in one year or less between 15% and 25% of the total portfolio and between 4% and 8% of total assets and as of September 30, 2017, these cash flows represented 5.7% of the portfolio, and 1.8% of total assets, under the lower guidelines. When factoring in available overnight cash, the Corporation’s securities portfolio liquidity represented 13.5% of the portfolio, slightly under the policy guideline of 15% - 25%, and 4.3% of total assets, also below the policy guideline of 6% - 10%.measurements.

The Corporation’s liquidity measurements are tracked and reported quarterly by management to both observe trends and ensure the measurements stay within desired ranges. Management is confident that a sufficient amount of internal and external liquidity exists to provide for significant unanticipated liquidity needs.

 

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is measured using two analytical tools:

 

·Changes in net interest income
·Changes in net portfolio value

 

Financial modeling is used to forecast net interest income and earnings, as well as net portfolio value, also referred to as fair value. The modeling is generally conducted under seven different interest rate scenarios. The scenarios consist of a projection of net interest income if rates remain flat, increase 100, 200, 300, or 400300 basis points, or decrease 50, 100, or 100150 basis points. Rates-downCurrently, the rates down scenarios seem more likely for the remainder of 2019 and into 2020, however, with the Federal funds rate at 2.50% as of June 30, 2019, and 2.25% as of July 31, 2019, the likelihood of the Federal funds rate being reduced by another 200 basis points is remote. For that reason, management believes it appropriate to model rates down 50, 100, and 150 basis points to most adequately cover all the reasonably possible declining rate scenarios that the Corporation could face, while continuing to model rates up scenarios of 100, 200, and 300 basis points. While management has more recently turned its focus to rates-down scenarios, with each Federal Reserve rate reduction, the ability to further reduce interest rates diminishes and the exposure to higher interest rates increases. The overnight Federal funds rate and the current U.S. Treasury rates are unlikelypresently at low historical levels. Because of this point sohistorical perspective, if management would take a neutral position in terms of the direction of forward interest rates, there is clearly more focusedlong term risk of rates going up than down. So while in the near term it is likely we may see additional Federal Reserve rate decreases, management remains guarded about the impact of higher interest rates and continues to prepare for rate increases on the rates-up scenarios. a larger scale than decreases.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The results obtained through the use of forecasting models are based on a variety of factors. Both the net interest income and fair value forecasts make use of the maturity and repricing schedules to determine the changes to the balance sheet over the course of time. Additionally, there are many assumptions that factor into the results. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·Projected forward interest rates
·Slope of the U.S. Treasury curve
·Spreads available on securities over the U.S. Treasury curve
·Prepayment speeds on loans held and mortgage-backed securities
·Anticipated calls on securities with call options
·Deposit and loan balance fluctuations
·Competitive pressures affecting loan and deposit rates
·Economic conditions
·Consumer reaction to interest rate changes

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the interest rate sensitivity analysis and net portfolio value analysis discussed below, results are based on a static balance sheet reflecting no projected growth from balances as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. While it is unlikely that the balance sheet will not grow at all, management considers a static analysis to be the most conservative and most accurate means to evaluate fair value and future interest rate risk. The static balance sheet approach is used to reduce the number of variables in calculating the model’s accuracy in predicting future net interest income. It is appropriate to pull out various balance sheet growth scenarios which could be utilized to compensate for a declining margin. By testing the model using a base model assuming no growth, this variable is eliminated and management can focus on predicted net interest income based on the current existing balance sheet. Management does run additional scenarios with expected growth rates through the asset liability model to most accurately predict future financial performance. This is done separately and apart from the static balance sheet approach discussed above to test fair value and future interest rate risk.

 

As a result of the many assumptions, this information should not be relied upon to predict future results. Additionally, both of the analyses discussed below do not consider any action that management could take to minimize or offset the negative effect of changes in interest rates. These tools are used to assist management in identifying possible areas of risk in order to address them before a greater risk is posed. Personnel perform an in-depth annual validation and a quarterly review of the settings and assumptions used in the model to ensure reliability of the forecast results. In addition to the annual validation review, management also engages a third party every three years to obtain a complete external review of the model. That review was completed in the third quarter of 2017. The purpose was to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the model input, assumptions, and output and this study concluded that the model is managed appropriately and generating acceptable results. Back testing of the model to actual results is performed quarterly to ensure the validity of the assumptions in the model. The internal and external validations as well as the back testing indicate that the model assumptions are reliable.

 

Changes in Net Interest Income

 

The change in net interest income measures the amount of net interest income fluctuation that would be experienced over one year, assuming interest rates change immediately and remain the same for one year. This is considered to be a short-term view of interest rate risk. The analysis of changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates is commonly referred to as interest rate sensitivity. The Corporation’s interest rate sensitivity analysis indicates that if interest rates were to go up immediately, the Corporation would realize more net interest income. This is due to the ability of the Corporation to immediately achieve higher interest earnings on interest-earning assets while having the ability to limit the amount of increase in interest-bearing liabilities based on the timing of deposit rate changes. This results in an increase in net interest income in the up-raterising rate scenarios, but a decline in net interest income in the down-ratedeclining rate scenarios.

 

The thirdsecond quarter 20172019 analysis projects net interest income expected in the seven rate scenarios over a one-year time horizon. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation was well within guidelines for the maximum amount of net interest income change in all rateup-rate scenarios and was only slightly outside of guidelines in the down -100 and -150 basis point scenarios. All up-rate scenarios show a positive impact to net interest income although significant improvements are not reflected until rates increase 200, 300, or 400 basis points.income. The increase in net interest income in the up-rate scenarios is largely due to the increase in variable rate loans that has occurred during the past several years and the higherrecent purchases of variable rate securities and the cash balances held on the Corporation’s balance sheet. On the liability side, when interest rates do increase, it is typical for management to react more slowly in increasing deposit rates. Loans that are Prime-based will increase by the full amount of the market rate movement while deposit rates will only increase at a fraction of the market rate increase. Additionally, deposit rates may level off more when market rates increase by 300200 or 400300 basis points where variable loan rates will still increase by the same amount as the Prime rate. The increases in net interest income in the up-rate scenarios are very similar to the increases reflected at December 31, 2016. It is unlikely that interest rates will go down, but inIn the event that they would goof lower interest rates, the Corporation would have exposure to all maturing fixed-rate loans and securities, which would reprice lower while most of the Corporation’s interest-bearing deposits could not be repriced any lower. This would result in a decline in net interest income in any down-rate scenario. However, even inIn the highly unlikely down-rate scenarios,down -100 and -150 scenario, the Corporation’s exposure to declining net interest income is still withinjust minimally outside of policy guidelines.

Management’s primary focus remains on the most likely scenario of higher interest rates. Discussion and Analysis

For the rates-up 100 basis point scenario, net interest income increases by 2.7%1.4% compared to the rates unchanged scenario. In the remaining rates-up scenarios, the net interest income increases slightly more substantially reflecting the sizable amount of the Corporation’s interest-earning assets that reprice immediately by the full amount of the Fed increase versus the limited amount of deposit increases that management would approve on the Corporation’s interest-bearing deposits. The higher interest rates go, the greater the likelihood that the proportionality of the Corporation’s deposit rate changes decreases as a percentage of the Federal Reserve’s action. For the rates-up 200 300, and 400300 basis point scenarios, net interest income increases by 7.6%, 13.6%,3.8% and 19.6%7.3%, respectively, compared to the rates unchanged scenario. Management’s maximum permitted net interest income declines by policy are -5%, -10%, and -15%, and -20% for the rates uprates-up 100, 200, 300, and 400300 basis point scenarios, respectively.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The positive impact of significantly higher rates is primarily due to the favorable impact of all of the Corporation’s variable rate loans repricing by the full amount of the Federal rate change, assisted by the Corporation’s relatively high interest earning cash balances and that component of the loans and securities portfolios that reprice in less than one year. This more than offsets the increase in interest expense caused by repricing deposits, and borrowings, where they are only repricing by a fraction of the rate change. The Corporation’s borrowings do price up faster than deposits, generally equivalent to the U.S. Treasury market. However, borrowings only make up approximately 7.3% of the total funding provided by deposits and borrowings. The more aggressive rates-up scenarios also benefit from known historical experience of deposit rate increases lagging and a slowing in the pace of the actual rate increase as interest rates continue to rise. This allows management the ability to benefit from higher rates by controlling the amount of the increase on large amounts of liabilities that are repricing.could reprice.

The negative impact of lower interest rates is primarily due to the negative impact of lower loan yields when the Prime rate changes. All variable rate loan instruments immediately reprice down while the same savings cannot be achieved on the liability side. In the down -50 basis point scenario, net interest income decreases by 1.6% compared to the rates unchanged scenario and compared to a policy guideline of -5.0%. In the more aggressive rates-down scenarios of -100 and -150 basis points, net interest income decreases by 5.1% and 7.9%, respectively, compared to policy guidelines of -5.0% and -7.5%. Management does not expect the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate changes to increase or change significantly during the remainder of 2017.2019.

 

The assumptions and analysis of interest rate risk are based on historical experience during varied economic cycles. Management believes these assumptions to be appropriate; however, actual results could vary significantly. Management uses this analysis to identify trends in interest rate sensitivity and determine if action is necessary to mitigate asset liability risk.

 

Changes in Net Portfolio Value

 

The change in net portfolio value is considered a tool to measure long-term interest rate risk. The analysis measures the exposure of the balance sheet to valuation changes due to changes in interest rates. The calculation of net portfolio value discounts future cash flows to the present value based on current market rates. The change in net portfolio value estimates the gain or loss in value that would occur on market sensitive instruments given an interest rate increase or decrease in the same seven scenarios mentioned above. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation was within guidelines for all rising rate scenarios. However, the down scenarios show more significant exposure and are outside of our guidelines for down 50, 100 and 150 basis points. The trend over the past year has been lessening risk in the up-raterising rate scenarios with increasing cash balances and core deposit balances with the current quarter showing a slightly smalleran even larger benefit in all up-raterising rate scenarios than the quarter ended June 30, 2017.December 31, 2018. The strong GAPgap ratios played a large role in improving the Corporation’s net portfolio value profile. The non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts and low-interest bearing checking, NOW, and money market accounts provide more benefit to the Corporation when interest rates are higher and the difference between the overnight funding costs compared to the average interest bearing core deposit rates are greater. As interest rates increase, the discount rate used to value the Corporation’s interest bearing accounts increases, causing a lower net present value for these interest-bearing deposits. This improves the modeling of the Corporation’s fair value risk to higher interest rates as the liability amounts decrease causing a higher net portfolio value of the Corporation’s balance sheet.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The results as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, indicate that the Corporation’s net portfolio value would experience valuation gains of 8.3%14.2%, 8.4%, 7.5%20.5%, and 5.2%,21.1% in the rates-up 100, 200, 300, and 400300 basis point scenarios. Management’s maximum permitted declines in net portfolio value by policy are -5% for rates-up 100 basis points, graduating up to -20%-15% for rates-up 400300 basis points. A valuation loss would indicate that the value of the Corporation’s assets is declining at a faster pace than the decrease in the value of the Corporation’s liabilities. While the down-rate scenarios that are modeled are unlikely, theThe analysis does show a valuation loss in the down 50, 100, and down 100150 basis point scenarios.scenarios of -11.1%, -20.3%, and -24.1%, respectively, compared to policy guidelines of -7.5%, -15.0%, and -22.5%. The Corporation’s expected valuation loss was outside of guideline for all rates-down scenarios and gets progressively worse with lower interest rates. Management now has a bias that rates will begin to move down slightly with a likely third quarter Fed rate action. The exposure to valuation changes could change going forward if the behavior of the Corporation’s deposits changes due to higher interest rates. Based on five past decay rate studies on the Corporation’s core deposits, management doesdid not expect a material decline in core deposit accounts, including the non-interest bearing accounts, whenas short term interest rates docontinue to increase. TheUp to this point, the Corporation’s core deposits have been stable through a number of rate cycles.

 

The weakness with the net portfolio value analysis is that it assumes liquidation of the Corporation rather than as a going concern. For that reason, it is considered a secondary measurement of interest rate risk to “Changes in Net Interest Income” discussed above. However, the net portfolio value analysis is a more important tool to measure the impact of interest rate changes to capital. In the current regulatory climate, the focus is on ensuring adequate asset liability modeling is being done to project the impact of very large interest rate increases on capital. The asset liability modeling currently in place measures the impact of such a rate change on the valuation of the Corporation’s loans, securities, deposits, and borrowings, and the resulting impact to capital. Management continues to analyze additional scenario testing to model “worst case” scenarios to adequately plan for the possible severe impact of such events.
