Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

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”). Ephrata National Bank has one wholly-owned subsidiary, ENB Insurance, LLC which is consolidated into its financial statements. This Form 10-Q, for the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2023, is reporting on the results of operations and financial condition of ENB Financial Corp.Corp on a consolidated basis.

 

Operating results for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year endedending December 31, 2017.2023. 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, 2016.2022.

 

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2023

2.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" and subsequent related updates. This ASU replaces the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses and requires businesses and other organizations to measure the current expected credit losses (CECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and held-to-maturity securities, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments, and other financial instruments. In addition, ASC 326 requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down when management does not intend to sell or believes that it is not more likely than not they will be required to sell. This guidance became effective on January 1, 2023 for the Corporation. The results reported for periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable accounting standards.

The Corporation adopted this guidance, and subsequent related updates, using the modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, available-for-sale debt securities and unfunded commitments. On January 1, 2023, the Corporation recorded a cumulative effect decrease to retained earnings of $619,000, net of tax, of which $537,000 related to loans, $82,000 related to unfunded commitments, and $0 related to available-for-sale securities.

The Corporation has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the measurement of its allowance for credit losses (ACL). When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any outstanding accrued interest is reversed against interest income.

The Corporation adopted the provisions of ASC 326 related to presenting other-than-temporary impairment on available-for-sale debt securities prior to January 1, 2023, using the prospective transition approach, though no such charges had been recorded on the securities held by the Corporation as of the date of adoption.

In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Corporation made changes to the loan portfolio segments to align with the methodology applied in determining the allowance under CECL. Refer to Note 5 Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses for further discussion of these portfolio segments. The new segmentation consists of: Agriculture, Business Loans, Consumer Loans, Home Equity, Non-Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate, and Residential Real Estate.

The impact of the change from the incurred loss model to the current expected credit loss model and the reclassification of loans for the identification of new portfolio loan segments under CECL is detailed below (in thousands).

Investment Securities

Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.

Investment securities classified as available for sale are those securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in other comprehensive income (loss), net of the deferred tax effect. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of the specific securities sold, are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. The Corporation classifies all of its securities as available for sale. Equity securities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Available for Sale Securities

The Corporation measures expected credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities when the Corporation does not intend to sell, or when it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Corporation evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Corporation considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this evaluation indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, equal to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Economic forecast data is utilized to calculate the present value of expected cash flows. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

The allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities is included within investment securities available-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded within the provision for credit losses on the consolidated statement of income. Losses are charged against the allowance when the Corporation believes the collectability of an available-for-sale security is in jeopardy or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $3,560,000 at June 30, 2023, and is included within Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheet. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. Available-for-sale debt securities are typically classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest. When available-for-sale debt securities are placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for credit losses and any deferred fees or costs. Accrued interest receivable totaled $2,689,000 at June 30, 2023, and was reported in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Corporation is amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan. Premiums and discounts on purchased loans are amortized as adjustments to interest income using the effective yield method.

The loans receivable portfolio is segmented into Agriculture, Business Loans, Consumer Loans, Home Equity, Non-Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate (CRE), and Residential Real Estate.

For all classes of loans receivable, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for credit losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans, including impaired loans, generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income on a cash basis, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time (generally six months), and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. The past due status of all classes of loans receivable is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The allowance for credit losses (ACL) is a valuation reserve established and maintained by charges against income and is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans.  Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the ACL when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

The ACL is an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of a loan, that considers historical loss experience, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions. Determination of an appropriate ACL is inherently subjective and may have significant changes from period to period. The methodology for determining the ACL has two main components: evaluation of expected credit losses for certain groups of homogeneous loans that share similar risk characteristics and evaluation of loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans.

The ACL is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Corporation measures the ACL using the following methods. Historical credit loss experience is the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. The Corporation applies historical loss rates to pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. After consideration of the historic loss calculation, management applies qualitative adjustments to reflect the current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts not already reflected in the historical loss information at the balance sheet date. Reasonable and supportable forecast adjustment is based on the unemployment forecast, BBB Rated Corporate Bond Spread, GDP Growth, Retail Sales, Asset Prices, and Management Judgement. The reasonable and supportable period is the life of the loan as credit loss models used produce reasonable estimates of losses over the life of the loan. The qualitative adjustments for current conditions are based upon changes in lending policies and procedures, loan portfolio trends, lending management experience, asset quality, loan review, underlying collateral, credit concentrations, and external factors.  These modified historical loss rates are multiplied by the outstanding principal balance of each loan to calculate a required reserve.


Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

The Corporation has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the measurement of its ACL. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any outstanding accrued interest is reversed against interest income.

The ACL for individual loans begins with the use of normal credit review procedures to identify whether a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other pooled loans and therefore should be individually assessed. Commercial loans are evaluated if they meet the following criteria: 1) when it is determined that foreclosure is probable, 2) substandard, doubtful and nonperforming loans when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, 3) when it is determined by management that a loan does not share similar risk characteristics with other loans.Specific reserves are established based on the following three acceptable methods for measuring the ACL: 1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate; 2) the loan’s observable market price; or 3) the fair value of the collateral when the loan is collateral dependent. Individual loan evaluations consist primarily of the fair value of collateral method because most of the Corporation’s loans are collateral dependent. Collateral values are discounted to consider disposition costs when appropriate. A specific reserve is established or a charge-off is taken if the fair value of the loan is less than the loan balance.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures

The Corporation estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Corporation is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Corporation. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The allowance is carried as a liability and is included in other liabilities on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liability was $1,262,000 as of June 30, 2023, and $1,017,000 as of December 31, 2022. As the unadvanced portion of lines of credit increases, this allowance will increase.

2.Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Corporation 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.

In the debt security portfolio there were 162325 positions that were carrying unrealized losses as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017. There were no instruments considered2023.

Management evaluates all of the Corporation’s securities for expected credit losses. No securities in the portfolio required an allowance for credit losses to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017.recorded in the first half of 2023 or other-than-temporary impairment in 2022.

Unrealized losses on the Corporation’s available-for-sale debt securities have not been recognized into income because the bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is solely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

The following table presents the net gains and losses 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 isCorporation’s equity investments recognized in earnings during the three and (b)six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the amountportion of total OTTI relatedunrealized gains and losses for the period that relates to all other factors, which is recognized, netequity investments held as of taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.June 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

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.NET GAINS AND LOSSES ON EQUITY INVESTMENTS RECOGNIZED IN EARNINGS

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.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

On April 26, 2016, management became aware of an AgriBank bond call. AgriBank is another cooperative of the FCA. The Corporation owned $6.4 million par of the AgriBank issue maturing on July 15, 2019, with a book value of $6.6 million as of June 30, 2016. AgriBank went public with this call, stating they intended to call the bonds on July 15, 2016. As a result of this par call notice, management accelerated the amortization of the remaining premium on the AgriBank bond, beginning in April 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.

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.

Credit Quality Indicators

 

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, 20172023 and December 31, 2016.2022. 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.

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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 there was one loan modification made 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.

(a) Refer to Note 1, Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2023 for details of reclassification of the portfolio segments related to adoption of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, management charged off $15,000 in loans while recovering $87,000 and added $1,930,000 to the provision for credit losses related to loans and added $142,000 to the provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure for a combined provision of $2,072,000.

The ACL is maintained at a level determined to be adequate to absorb estimated expected credit losses within the loan portfolio over the contractual life of an instrument that considers historical loss experience, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions as of the balance sheet date. The Corporation develops and documents a systematic ACL methodology based on the following portfolio segments: Agriculture, Business Loans, Consumer Loans, Home Equity, Non-Owner Occupied CRE, and Residential Real Estate.  The following are key risks within each portfolio segment:

Agriculture – Loans made to individuals or operating companies within the Agricultural industry.  These loans are generally secured by a first lien mortgage on agricultural land.  The primary source of repayment is the income and assets of the borrower.  The condition of the agriculture industry as well as the condition of the national economy is an important indicator of risk for this segment.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
NotesBusiness Loans —Loans made to operating companies or manufacturers for the purpose of production, operating capacity, accounts receivable, inventory or equipment financing. The primary source of repayment for these loans is cash flow from the operations of the company.   The condition of the national economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the industry of the company. This segment also includes loans made to finance construction of buildings or other structures, as well as to finance the acquisition and development of raw land for various purposes. While the risk of these loans is generally confined to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statementsconstruction period, if there are problems, the project may not be completed, and as such, may not provide sufficient cash flow on its own to service the debt or have sufficient value in a liquidation to cover the outstanding principal. The condition of the national economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the type of project and the experience and resources of the developer.

Consumer - Loans made to individuals that may be secured by assets other than 1-4 family residences, as well as unsecured loans. This segment includes personal loans and lines of credit that may be secured or unsecured.  The primary source of repayment for these loans is the income and assets of the borrower. The condition of the national economy, in particular the unemployment rate, is an important indicator of risk for this segment. The value of the collateral, if there is any, is less likely to be a source of repayment due to less certain collateral values.

Home Equity– This segment generally includes lines of credit and term loans secured by the equity in the borrower’s residence.The primary source of repayment for these facilities is the income and assets of the borrower. The condition of the national economy, in particular the unemployment rate, is an important indicator of risk for this segment. The state of the national housing market can also have a significant impact on this segment because low demand and/or declining home values can limit the ability of borrowers to sell a property and satisfy the debt.

Non-Owner Occupied CRE - Loans secured by commercial purpose real estate for various purposes such as hotels, retail, multifamily and health care. The primary sources of repayment for these loans are the operations of the individual projects and global cash flows of the debtors. The condition of the national economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the collateral type and the business prospects of the lessee.

Residential Real Estate—Loans secured by first liens on 1-4 family residential mortgages. The primary source of repayment for these loans is the income and assets of the borrower. The condition of the national economy, in particular the unemployment rate, is an important indicator of risk for this segment. The state of the national housing market can also have a significant impact on this segment because low demand and/or declining home values can limit the ability of borrowers to sell a property and satisfy the debt.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, management charged off $107,000 in loans while recovering $32,000 and added $750,000 to the provision. The unallocated portion of the allowance decreased from 4.9% of total reserves as of December 31, 2021, to 3.2% as of June 30, 2022.

 

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, net provision expenses wereexpense was recorded for the consumer real estate and commercial and industrial and consumer loan segments, with a credit provision recorded insectors while the commercial real estate loan category.and consumer sectors recorded a credit provision. The decrease in the amount of allowanceprovision expense recorded 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 allowance for loan losses was allocated to commercial real estate loans, which consisted of 48.2% of all loans. As of September 30, 2017, 46.8 % of the allowance was allocated to 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-offs for three of our loan pools over the past three years. However, classified loans experienced a large increase 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, to $25.6 million. This increase was primarily caused by four loan customers being classified as substandard, two being commercial and two agricultural-related. However, in the third quarter of 2017, classified loans decreased by $4.6 million, bringing the outstanding balance to $21.0 million. Currently, the agricultural lending sector remains under stress due to weak milk and egg prices impacting farmers. Outside of the commercial loan relationships noted above, the health of the Corporation’s commercialconsumer real estate and commercial and industrial borrowers is generally stable with no material trendsloans was primarily related to certain typesgrowth in those sectors 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 nationalthrough June 30, 2022 while the credit provision in commercial real estate and local economic conditions were increased for several loan pools in the third quarter of 2017. The increases in classified loans along with higherconsumer was primarily related to declining qualitative factors caused management to record provision expense of $450,000 through Septemberin several areas at June 30, 2017 despite the continuation of very low levels of delinquencies and charge-offs.2022.

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.

4. Fair Value Presentation

6.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, 2017,2023, and December 31, 2016,2022, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

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, 2017,2023, firm loan commitments were $40.5$90.9 million, unused lines of credit were $209.3$494.1 million, and open letters of credit were $11.1$13.8 million. The total of these commitments was $260.9$598.8 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.

In May 2014,March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersNo. 2023-02, "Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a new revenue recognition standard)consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)". The Update’s core principle is thatASU allows entities to elect the proportional amortization method, on a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this Update specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract 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 2014-09tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis, for all equity investments in tax credit programs meeting the eligibility criteria in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 323-740-25-1. While the ASU does not significantly alter the existing eligibility criteria, it does provide clarifications to address existing interpretive issues. It also prescribes specific information reporting entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance inmust disclose about tax credit investments each period. This ASU 2014-09 to annualis effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. 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 instruments are not within the scope of Topic 606.  However, we do expect that the standard will result in new disclosure requirements, which are currently being evaluated.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

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 consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes 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 requirement2023, for public business entities, to discloseor January 1, 2024 for 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 portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability 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 allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.Corporation. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impactdoes not expect the adoption of the standard will have on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issuedthis 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 applied 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 significantmaterial 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. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’sCorporation's financial statements.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

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). 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. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments(“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This ASU 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 ASU 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 August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Among these include recognizing cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment as cash outflows for financing activities; cash proceeds received from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the related insurance coverage; and cash proceeds received from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance policies should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities while the cash payments for premiums on bank-owned policies may be classified as cash outflows for investing activities, operating activities, or a combination of investing and operating activities. 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, 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. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Corporation’s statement of cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16,Income Taxes (Topic 740), which requires recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of any asset (excluding inventory) when the transfer occurs. Consequently, the amendments in this Update eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. That is, earlier adoption should be in the first interim period if an entity issues interim financial statements. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), which requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total 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 shown on the statement of cash flows. 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, 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.

In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13,Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842):Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments.The SEC Observer said that the SEC staff would not object if entities that are considered public business entities only because their financial statements or financial information is required to be included in another entity’s SEC filing use the effective dates for private companies when they adopt ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 842,Leases. The Update also supersedes certain SEC paragraphs in the Codification related to previous SEC staff announcements and moves other paragraphs, upon adoption of ASC 606 or ASC 842.

Critical Accounting Policies

See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation" for additional information on the adoption of ASC 326, which changes the methodology under which management calculates its reserve for loans and investment securities, now referred to as the allowance for credit losses. Management considers the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be a critical accounting policy.

Results of Operations

 

Overview

The Corporation recorded net income of $2,034,000$1,797,000 for the third quarter of 2017,three-month period ended June 30, 2023, a 2.1%$761,000, or 29.7% decrease from the $2,077,000 earnedthree months ended June 30, 2022. Net income for the six-month period was $4,238,000, a $1,511,000, or 26.3% decrease from earnings in the third quarter of 2016, while for the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, the Corporation recorded $5,733,000 of net income, a 1.8% increase over the same period in 2016.2022. The Corporation experienced strong levels of 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 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. Earningsearnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.71 and $2.01$0.32 for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, compared to $0.73 and $1.98$0.46 for the same periodsperiod in 2016.2022, and for the year-to-date period, earnings per share were $0.75 compared to $1.03 in 2022.

 

The Corporation’s NII has grown each successive quarter since the third quarter of 2016 due to three Federal Reservenet 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 NIIincome (NII) increased by $1,048,000,$1,683,000, or 15.8%14.1%, and $4,198,000,$4,766,000, or 23.0%21.0%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, compared to the same periods in 2016.2022. The increase in NII primarily resulted from an increase in interest and fees on securities and dividend incomeloans of $519,000,$5,431,000, or 31.8%57.0%, and $2,623,000,$10,313,000, or 69.7%56.2%, for the three and nine-monthsix months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2017. The portion of the increase that was causedin 2022. Additionally, interest on securities available for sale increased by non-recurring amortization was $170,000$465,000, or 15.1%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, and $1,681,000$1,838,000, or 33.2%, for the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. The Corporation’s NII also benefited from a $459,000,2023, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Offsetting these increases, interest expense on deposits and borrowings increased by $4,539,000, or 8.0%578.2%, and $1,280,000,$7,869,000, or 7.7% increase in interest and fees on loans536.0%, for the three and nine-month periodssix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, 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%, forsame periods in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.prior year.

 

The Corporation recorded $240,000a $815,000 provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2023, and $2,072,000 for the year-to-date period, compared to $650,000 in the second quarter of 2022 and a year-to-date provision of $750,000 through June 30, 2022. The Corporation adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments as of January 1, 2023. This standard implements a methodology that reflects credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of the financial asset. This new current expected credit loss model (CECL) is based on possible economic scenarios as well as qualitative factors specific to the Corporation. During the first half of 2023, there was a significant change in the forward credit outlook due to a high interest rate environment and due to the Corporation downgrading a $5 million loan relationship to substandard requiring a higher provision related to this relationship. Due to the more subjective methodology of the CECL standard, provision expense in the third quartersubsequent quarters is expected to be much more volatile than historical experience. The allowance as a percentage of 2017,total loans was 1.30% as of June 30, 2023, 1.19% as of December 31, 2022, and 1.31% as of June 30, 2022.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Other income was lower in 2023 compared to $200,000 for the third quarterprior year primarly as a result of 2016, and provision expense of $450,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $200,000 for 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 higherlower levels of classified loans, which required more provision expense in 2017, as well as a specific allocationmortgage gains and strategic losses recognized on the sale of $98,000 for an impaired loan in the third quarter of 2017.securities. The gains from the sale of mortgages were $204,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to gains of $328,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $124,000, or 37.8%. For the six-month period, gains were $326,000, a decrease of $737,000, or 69.3%, from the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in mortgage gains can be primiarly attributed to the rapid rise in mortgage rates during the first half of 2023 which has caused customer activity to shift from fixed-rate mortgages that were sold on the secondary market, to adjustable rate mortgages held on the Corporation’s balance sheet.

This increase can be primarily attributed to the rising cost of salaries and employee benefits as well as increased investments in technology and software.

 

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 increaseddecreased for the nine monthsquarter-to-date period and the year-to-date period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, 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 increaselower earnings 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.2023.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

The results of the Corporation’s operations are best explained by addressing, in further detail, the five major sections of the income statement, which are as follows:

 

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

 

The following discussion analyzes each of these five components.

 

Net Interest Income (NII)

 

Net interest income (NII)NII represents the largest portion of the Corporation’s operating income. In the first ninesix months of 2017,2023, NII generated 74.8%84.4% of the Corporation’s gross revenue stream, which consists of net interest incomeNII and non-interest income, compared to 68.1%77.2% in the first ninesix months of 2016. The2022. This increase is a result of higher levels of NII as a percentagein the first six months of gross revenue was primarily caused by a combination of the last three Federal Reserve interest rate increases2023 as well as non-recurring accelerated amortization expense in 2016.lower non-interest income compared to 2022. The overall performance of the Corporation is highly dependent on the changes in net interest incomeNII 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 incomeNII 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 incomeNII 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 and $1,793,000$160,000 for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, and $356,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $524,000$317,000 and $1,570,000$621,000 for the same periods in 2016.2022.

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

 

·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. On December 16, 2015, 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%. Prior to December 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% Federal Reserve rate increase could occur in the fourth quarter of 2017. It remains to be seen whether mid and long-term U.S. Treasury rates will also increase to the same degree that the Federal Reserve will move the overnight Federal funds rate. If they do not, the yield curve would further flatten making it harder for the Corporation to increase asset yield.

Management’s DiscussionNII is impacted by yields earned on assets and Analysis

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 raterates paid on liabilities. During 2022, asset yields increased from 3.25% 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. The Corporation’s Prime-based loans, including home equity lines of credit and some variable rate commercial loans reprice a day afterwith the Federal Reserve rate movement.movements, but liability costs were still low due to the ability to slowly raise deposit rates. In the first half of 2023, interest rates on deposits increased more dramatically as a result of competitive pressure and the desire to retain existing deposits and attract new ones to add to the Corporation’s liquidity position. While higher market rates have helped the Corporation’s NIM, the higher cost of funds has put pressure on the NIM. Management believes that compression will accelerate with the continued higher cost of liabilities without a similar-sized increase in asset yield.

 

As a result of a larger balance sheet and improved asset yields in the Federal Reserve rate increases,first half of 2023, the Corporation’s NII and net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis began to increase in 2017 with theincreased. The Corporation’s margin increasingincreased to 3.46%3.00% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and 3.04% for the year-to-date period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, compared to 3.04%2.96% in the second quarter of 2022, and 2.85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.year-to-date period. The Corporation’s NII on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the first ninethree and six months of 2017ended June 30, 2023, increased substantially over the same periodperiods in 2016,2022 by $4,421,000,$1,526,000, or 22.3%12.4%, 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,$4,501,000, or 12.7%19.3%, in 2017 compared to 2016. 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 quarters have confirmed the asset sensitivity of the Corporation’s balance sheet. Management expects that any additional Federal Reserve rate increases in 2017 would further improve both margin and 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.respectively.

 

The extended extremely low Federal funds rate has enabled management to reduce the cost of funds on overnight borrowings and allowed lower interest rates paid on deposits, reducing the Corporation’s interest expense. It was only after the third 25-basis point Fed rate increase in March of 2017 that the Corporation raised some deposit rates minimally. While the low Prime rate reduced the yield on the Corporation’s loans for many years, the rate increases through September of 2017 did act to boost interest income and help improve the Corporation’s margin. With a higher Prime rate and elevated Treasury rates, higher asset yields should be possible throughout the remainder of 2017. Due to the increasing number of variable rate loans in the Corporation’s loan portfolio, the 25 basis point increase in the Prime rate at the end of 2015, 2016, and in March and June of 2017, did cause NII to increase progressively. The full impact of all of these increases was experienced in the third quarter of 2017. 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.

Security yields will generally fluctuate more rapidly than loan yields based on changes to the U.S. Treasury rates and yield curve. With higher Treasury rates in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, security reinvestment has been occurring at slightly higher yields2022 and amortization has slowed resulting in higher yields. The Corporation’s loan yield has begun to increase as the variable rate portion of the loan portfolio is repricing higher with each Federal Reserve rate movement. The vast majority of the Corporation’s commercial Prime-based loans are priced at the Prime rate, currently at 4.25%. The pricing for the most typical five-year fixed rate commercial loans is currently very similar to the Prime rate. Previously, any increases in variable rate loans acted to bring down overall loan yield. Now with the rates being very similar it is much more beneficial to the Corporation to grow the variable rate loans in a period of rising rates. An element of the Corporation’s Prime-based commercial loans is priced above the Prime rate based on the level of credit risk of the borrower. Management does price a portion of consumer variable rate loans above the Prime rate, which also helps to improve loan yield. Both commercial and consumer Prime-based pricing continues to be driven largely by local competition.

Mid-term and long-term interest rates on average were higher in 2017 compared to 2016. The average rate of the 10-year U.S. Treasury was 2.32% in the first nine months of 2017 compared to 1.74% in the first nine months of 2016, and it stood at 2.33% on September 30, 2017, compared to 1.60% at September 30, 2016. The slope of the yield curve has been compressed throughout most of 2016 and through the first nine months of 2017, with a difference of 108 basis points between the Fed Funds rate of 1.25% and the 10-year U.S. Treasury as of September 30, 2017, compared to 110 basis points as of September 30, 2016. 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% in 2016 and 2.62% in 2017, and as low as 1.37% in 2016 and 2.05% in 2017. Because the yield curve is still relatively flat, management was not able to increase loan rates to improve yield, but2023, security yields have improved as a result of slightly higher investment ratesincreased 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 projectedhave helped to increase throughoutNII during the remainderfirst half of 2017 and during 2018.2023.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

While it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve savings on theThe Corporation’s overall cost of funds has risen significantly through the Corporation has been able to maintain relatively low offering rates on longer-term time deposits. Thesefirst half of 2023. Core deposit interest rates are still belowhave risen over the interestpast year; however, time deposit rates that existed four or five years ago. Rollover of these longer time depositshave risen to lowerhigher levels and more quickly than core deposit rates. The change in deposit rates has caused a decreaseresulted in interest expense. Generally, it was 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 onsome movement from low interest bearing core deposits can be held atto time deposits or other higher yielding money market deposits. This resulted in the current levelstotal cost of deposits increasing by $3,807,000 for the remainderquarter and $6,398,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The average balance of 2017. Ifborrowings was higher in the Federal Reserve does actfirst six months of 2023 compared to raise2022, and interest rates duringwere also higer, resulting in the fourth quarter, deposit interest rate increases may need to be implemented beginning in 2018. Management selectively repriced some time deposit rates higher after the March Federal Reserve rate increase, but the time deposits repricing to lower rates offset any increased interest expense for those that were selectively priced higher. Borrowing costs,total cost of borrowings increasing by $732,000, or 153.5%, 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 some borrowings at lower rates in 2016 but lower-priced borrowings matured in 2017 with no ability to refinance at lower rates, so the yield on borrowings increased slightly during 2017 and will likely continue to do so moving into 2018.

Management currently anticipates that the overnight interest rate and Prime rate will remain at the current levels until December of 2017 with the possibility of one more 0.25% rate increase by year-end. It is likely that mid and long-term U.S. Treasury rates will increase slowly throughout the fourth quarter of 2017 as the market anticipates an additional Federal Reserve rate movement. This would allow management to achieve higher earnings on new higher yielding securities and allow$1,471,000, or 162.0%, for the abilitythree and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to price new loans at higher market rates. However, it is also possible that even after a Federal Reserve rate increase, the yield curve could flatten, making 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 on the repricing of the Corporation’s liabilities as the cost of money increases and more marketplace competition returns. Management anticipates that more deposit rate increases will need to be made to remain competitivesame periods in the market while maturing borrowings would also likely reprice to higher rates.2022.

During the first nine months of 2017, the Corporation’s NII on an FTE basis increased by $4,421,000, a 22.3% increase over the same period in 2016. Total interest income on an FTE basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased $4,289,000, or 19.4%, from 2016, while interest expense decreased $132,000, or 5.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The FTE interest income from the securities portfolio increased by $2,820,000, or 56.7%, while loan interest income increased $1,278,000, or 7.6%. During 2017, additional loan volume caused by loan growth added $938,000 to net interest income, and the slightly higher yields caused a $340,000 increase, resulting in a total increase of $1,278,000. Higher balances in the securities portfolio caused an increase of $810,000 in net interest income, while higher yields on securities caused a $2,010,000 increase, resulting in a total increase of $2,820,000. The Corporation recorded $1,681,000 in non-recurring accelerated amortization on U.S. sub-agency securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which was responsible for the lower yields on securities in 2016.

The average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased by 4.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the prior year driven by the growth in deposit balances. The shift between time deposit balances and demand and savings accounts resulted in a more favorable net interest income. Lower balances of higher cost deposits contributed to savings of $64,000 on deposit costs while lower interest rates on all deposit groups caused $66,000 of savings, resulting in total savings of $130,000.

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 reduction to expense, and time deposits repricing to lower interest rates reduced interest expense by an additional $97,000, causing a total reduction of $190,000 in time deposit interest expense. Even with the low rate environment, the Corporation was successful in increasing balances of other deposit types.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The average balance of outstanding borrowings decreased by $3.1 million, or 4.2%, from September 30, 2016, to September 30, 2017. The decrease in total borrowings reduced interest expense by $25,000. The increase in market interest rates increased interest expense by $23,000, as some long-term borrowings at lower rates matured and were replaced with new advances at marginally higher rates. The aggregate of these amounts was a decrease in interest expense of $2,000 related to total borrowings.

The following tables show a more detailed analysis of net interest incomeNII on ana 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). 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, resulting in a higher NIM of 3.50%average balances on securities decreased by $102.3 million, or 16.2%, for the third quarter of 2017,three months ended June 30, 2023, and $59.8 million, or 9.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.22% for the third quarter of 2016 and 3.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 3.04% for the same periodperiods in 2016.2022. The tax equivalent yield earned on assetsinvestments increased by 2770 basis points for the quarterquarter-to-date period and 37 basis points for the year-to-date period while the rate paid on liabilities dropped one basis point for the quarter and six83 basis points for the year-to-date period when comparing both years. Management does anticipate further improvements in NIM duringAs a result of the remainder of 2017 with the possibility of another rate increase in the fourth quarter. Loanhigher 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 for 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. The Corporation’s loan yieldon securities increased 17 basis points in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 and 8 basis points when comparing the year-to-date periods in both years. Loan interest income increased $480,000,by $379,000, or 8.3%11.2%, and $1,278,000,$1,704,000, or 7.6%27.8%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, compared to the same periods in 2016.the prior year.

 

Loan pricing was challenging in 2016,Average balances on loans increased by $282.5 million, or 28.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and continues$289.2 million, or 30.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to be in 2017 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. The current Prime rate of 4.25% is generally lower than most fixed-rate business and commercial loans, which typically range between 4.00% and 6.00%, depending on term and credit risk. 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%. However, there are relatively few of these higher rate loanssame periods in the commercialprior year. Loan yields increased by 84 basis points for the quarter, and agricultural portfolios78 basis points for the year-to-date period and loan interest income increased by $5,449,000, or 57.0%, and $10,349,000, or 56.2%, for both time frames due to the strong credit qualityincrease in loan balances and higher yields.

The average balance of interest-bearing deposit accounts increased by $134.8 million, or 15.5%, and $137.4 million, or 16.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Interest-bearing deposits increased as rates increased due to funds shifting from non-interest earning accounts to interest earning accounts due to the rapid increase in market rates. The average balance of savings accounts decreased as funds moved into higher-yielding accounts. The interest rate paid on all interest-bearing deposits increased significantly for both time periods. The combined rate on interest-bearing deposits increased by 431 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and 370 basis points for the year-to-date period, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The combination of these changes resulted in an increase in interest expense on deposits of $3,806,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and $6,398,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022.

The Corporation’s average balance on borrowed funds increased by $58.7 million, or 79.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and $63.1 million, or 91.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. The Corporation’s borrowed funds consist of FHLB advances as well as subordinated debt issued in December of 2020 and July of 2022 which was used to support capital growth for the Corporation. The rate paid on borrowed funds increased by 105 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 97 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in the prior year. This increase in rate can be attributed to initiating higher-rate FHLB advances in late 2022 and early 2023 as well as the issuance of subordinated debt in July of 2022.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the net interest spread decreased by 52 basis points to 2.29%, compared to 2.81% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the net interest spread decreased by 31 basis points to 2.40%, compared to 2.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The effect of non-interest bearing funds increased to 71 basis points from 15 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased to 64 basis points from 14 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. 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 higher, the benefit of non-interest bearing deposits increases because there is more difference between non-interest bearing funds and interest bearing liabilities. The Corporation’s NIM for the second quarter of 2023 was 3.00%, compared to 2.96% for the second quarter of 2022. For the year-to-date period, the Corporation’s borrowers. Competition in the immediate market area is pricing select shorter-term fixed-rate commercial and agricultural lending rates below 4.00%NIM was 3.04%, compared to 2.85% for the strongest loan credits. This current market environment has largely prevented the Corporation from gaining yield on fixed rate commercial and agricultural loans. same period in 2022.

The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) carefully monitors the NIM because it indicates trends in net interest income,NII, the Corporation’s largest source of revenue. For more information on the plans and strategies in place to protect the NIM and moderate the impact of rising rates, please refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Earnings and yields on the Corporation’s securities increased by 44 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and 95 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periodschanges in 2016. The Corporation’s securities portfolio consists of nearly all fixed income debt instruments. The Corporation’s taxable securities experienced a 74 basis-point increase in yield for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and a 140 basis-point increase in yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. This was largely due to accelerated amortization that caused significantly lower interest income for the first nine months of 2016. Additionally, some security reinvestment in the first nine months of 2017 has been occurring at higher rates and regular amortization has been lower due to the slightly higher interest rate environment. These variables have caused taxable security yields to increase significantly. The yield on tax-exempt securities decreased minimally by five basis points and six basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016.

Prior to 2017, 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, with higher short-term rates but still low longer-term rates, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017. The average balance of time deposits declined during these same periods compared to 2016, 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 of NOW, MMDA, and savings accounts the average interest rate paid on these instruments is significantly less than what is paid on time deposits, resulting in less interest expense.

Interest expense on deposits declined by $20,000, or 3.9%, and $130,000, or 8.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Demand and savings deposits reprice in entirety whenever the offering rates are changed. This allows management to reduce interest costs rapidly; however, it becomes difficult to continue to gain cost savings once offering rates decline to these historically low levels. For the third quarter of 2017 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the average balances of interest bearing demand deposits increased by $6.9 million, or 3.6%, and $16.6 million, or 9.0%, over the same periods in 2016, while the average balance of savings accounts increased by $23.8 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.

Time deposits reprice over time according to their maturity schedule. This enables management to both reduce and increase rates slowly over time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, time deposit balances decreased compared to balances at September 30, 2016. The decrease can be attributed to the lowest rates paid historically on time deposits, which has caused the differential between time deposit rates and rates on non-maturity deposits to be minimal. 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. The Corporation was able to reduce interest expense on time deposits by $44,000, or 10.6%, for the third quarter of 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, and by $191,000, or 14.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in the prior year. Average balances of time deposits decreased by $11.9 million, or 7.2%, and $12.6 million, or 7.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. The average annualized interest rate paid on time deposits decreased by five basis points for the three-month period and eight basis points for the nine-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 were utilized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, while average short-term advances of $10,052,000 and $11,131,000 were utilized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. 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 decreased by $3,782,000, or 5.2%, and $3,117,000, or 4.2%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Interest expense on borrowed funds was $23,000, or 9.5% higher, and $2,000, or 0.3% lower, for the three and nine-month periods when comparing 2017 to 2016.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the net interest spread increased 28 basis points to 3.34%, from 3.06% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the net interest spread increased 43 basis points to 3.30%, from 2.87% for the same period in 2016. The effect of non-interest bearing funds stayed the same for the three-month period and dropped by one basis point for the nine-month period compared to the same periods 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, the benefit of non-interest bearing deposits is reduced because there is less 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 reduced to 0.20%, then the benefit of the non-interest bearing funds is only $20. This assumes dollar-for-dollar replacement, which is not realistic, but demonstrates the way the lower cost of funds affects the benefit to non-interest bearing deposits.

The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) carefully monitors the NIM because it indicates trends in net interest income, the Corporation’s largest source of revenue. For more information on the plans and strategies in place to protect the NIM and moderate the impact of rising rates, refer to Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Provision for LoanCredit Losses

 

The allowanceprovision for credit losses includes a provision for losses on loans, available-for-sale debt securities, and unfunded loan losses (ALLL)commitments. The provision provides for losses inherent in the loan portfoliofinancial assets as determined by a quarterly analysis and calculation of various factors related to the loan portfolio.financial assets. The amount of the provision reflects the adjustment management determines necessary to ensure the ALLLAllowance for Credit Losses (ACL) is adequate to cover any losses inherent in the loan portfolio.financial assets. The Corporation recorded a provision expense of $240,000$1,930,000 for credit losses related to loans, $142,000 for unfunded commitments and $0 related to available-for-sale securities for the threefirst six months of 2023, compared to $750,000 related to loans for the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, and $450,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to a2022. The provision expense of $200,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and $200,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The analysis of the ALLL takes into consideration, among other things, the following factors:

·levels and trends in delinquencies, nonaccruals, charge-offs and recoveries,
·trends within the loan portfolio,
·changes in lending policies and procedures,
·experience of lending personnel and management oversight,
·national and local economic trends,
·concentrations of credit,
·external factors such as legal and regulatory requirements,
·changes in the quality of loan review and board oversight,
·changes in the value of underlying collateral.

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

As of September 30, 2017, total delinquencies represented 0.46% of total loans, compared to 0.45% as of September 30, 2016. 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 devaluation of residential and commercial real estate, had stressed these ratios in past periods and the addition of a commercial loan relationship in the first quarterhalf 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. 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 relative2023 due to the amountCorporation’s adoption of recoveries can also haveASU 2016-13 which requires a significant impactreliance on the provision. Management had recoveries that exceeded charge-offs by $16,000 in the first nine months of 2017.

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,forward economic indicators to project expected credit losses 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, 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 nine months of 2017, qualitative factors were adjusted based on current information regarding delinquency, economic conditions, and other factors. Changes in qualitative factors were unchanged for two loan pools, while they increased for four pools and declined for three. 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 concentrationbalance of residential mortgages.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Management also monitors the allowance as a percentage of totalclassified loans. The percentage of the allowance to total loans has increased since September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016, and remains comparable with the peer group. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.37%1.30%, up from 1.32% at December 31, 2016, andcompared to 1.31% at SeptemberJune 30, 2016. Management continues to evaluate the allowance for loan losses in relation to the size of the loan portfolio and changes to the segments within the loan portfolio and their associated credit risk. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for future loan losses based on the current portfolio and the current economic environment.2022.

Trust and investment services income increased $83,000,for the quarter and year-to-date as a result of a larger level of assets under management and higher fees. Other fees increased for both time periods driven by fees earned on an off-balance-sheet sweep product. The Corporation incurred $1,060,000 of losses on debt and equity securities in the second quareter of 2023, and $1,666,000 of losses for the year-to-date period as a result of strategic sales of debt securities to fund higher yielding loan growth and depreciation of bank stock values causing an unrealized loss on equity securities. Mortgage gains declined by $124,000, or 24.1%37.8%, in the second quarter of 2023, compared to the second quarter of 2022, and $231,000,$737,000, or 20.9%69.3%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2022. This was primarly a result of the rapid increase in interest rates during the last year. This revenue consiststhree quarters of 2022 that resulted in very low margins on mortgages sold and a switch to mortgages held on the Corporation’s balance sheet as opposed to sold on the secondary market. The miscellaneous income from traditional trust servicescategory was lower for the six months ended June 30, 2023, by 18.9% as a result of non-recurring income items that impacted the first half of 2022.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the thirdsecond quarter of 2017, traditional trust income increased by $42,000,2023 were $13,202,000, an increase of $1,725,000, or 17.5%, while income from alternative investments increased by $41,000, or 39.7%15.0%, compared to the third$11,477,000 for the second quarter of 2016.2022. For the nine monthsyear-to-date period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, traditional trust services income increased by $158,000,2023, operating expenses totaled $25,566,000, an increase of $3,481,000, or 21.2%, while income from alternative investment services increased by $73,000, or 20.4%15.8%, compared to the same period in 2016. Trust income was up for both periods as a result of new business, higher fees, and higher trust valuations. Several new trust accounts were opened in the fourth quarter of 2016 adding revenue beginning in 2017. A new trust fee schedule was implemented in March of 2016, which resulted in more first quarter and year-to-date income in 2017. Trust income was also elevated due to increases in unscheduled executor fee income over both periods of 2016. Lastly, equity markets were up since December 31, 2016, and have continued to increase throughout 2017, which has increased trust valuations and the fees generated from their fair market values.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $35,000, or 12.3%, and $88,000, or 10.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Overdraft service charges are the largest component of this category and comprised approximately 80% of the total deposit service charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Total overdraft fees increased by $29,000, or 12.8%, and $77,000, or 11.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Management attributes higher overdraft fee income primarily to the growth in deposit accounts and new customers. No changes to Bank fees or policies have occurred. Most of the other service charge areas showed minimal increases or decreases from the prior year.

Other service charges and fees increased by $24,000, or 7.9%, and $162,000, or 19.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. The quarterly and year-to-date increase is primarily due to an increase in loan administration fees that were higher by $40,000, or 37.7%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, and $133,000, or 47.8%, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in the prior year. A significant increase in mortgage volume is being generated through the mortgage expansion and was the primary reason for these increased fees. Account analysis fees increased by $6,000, or 53.9%, and $23,000, or 86.3%, for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in the previous year primarily as a result of increased focus on cash management customers and assessing proper fees for the services provided. Partially offsetting these increases, fees for 30-year mortgage originations decreased by $23,000, or 30.5%, and $11,000, or 6.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. The other service charges and fees area is expected to continue to grow at a faster pace than other elements of the Corporation’s fees but the percentage increase will decline going forward. Various other fee income categories increased or decreased to lesser degrees making up the remainder of the variance compared to the prior year.

Commissions increased by $31,000, or 5.6%, and $103,000, or 6.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. This was primarily caused by debit card interchange income, which increased by $23,000, or 4.8%, and $90,000, or 6.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. The interchange income is a direct result of the volume of debit card transactions processed and this income increases as customer accounts increase or as customers utilize their debit cards to a higher degree. Additionally, insurance commissions from Banker’s Settlement Services increased by $7,000, or 30.0%, and $14,000, or 22.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The vast majority of the insurance commissions were from residential mortgage transactions.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, $170,000 of gains on securities transactions were recorded compared to $464,000 for the same period in 2016, a $294,000, or 63.4% decrease. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $417,000 of gains on securities transactions were recorded compared to $2,130,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a $1,713,000, or 80.4% decrease. 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 nine months of 2016 provided greater opportunities to take significant gains out of the portfolio than during the first nine 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.

Gains on the sale of mortgages were $510,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to $557,000 for the same period in 2016, a $47,000, or 8.4% decrease. Gains on the sale of mortgages for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased by $193,000, or 17.4%, compared to the same period in 2016. Secondary mortgage financing activity drives the gains on the sale of mortgages, and the activity in the first nine months of 2017 was at increased levels due to the greater marketing efforts of the Corporation’s mortgage area, a slightly improved local economy, as well as attractive mortgage rates. Management anticipates that gains should continue at these higher levels throughout the remainder of 2017, with the continued increased focus to grow the Corporation’s mortgage origination activity, continued low mortgage rates, and expanded adjustable rate mortgage offerings. Most of the Corporation’s recent held for investment mortgage growth has come in the form of 5/1 and 7/1 year adjustable rate mortgages.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, earnings on bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) decreased by $40,000, or 19.0%, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, earnings on BOLI decreased by $90,000, or 14.9%, compared to the same periods in 2016. The decrease was primarily due to declining performance on the grandfathered directors’ life insurance policies, which were initiated prior to 1995 in connection with a previous Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. These director-related policies are not generating as much income due to the age of the directors and structure of the policies. The lower levels of return on these policies will likely continue throughout the remainder of 2017 and into 2018. The amount of BOLI income is generally dependent upon the actual return of the policies, the insurance cost components, and any benefits paid upon death that exceed the policy’s cash surrender value. Increases in cash surrender value are a function of the return of the policy net of all expenses.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2017 were $7,647,000, an increase of $899,000, or 13.3%, compared to the $6,748,000 for the third quarter of 2016. For the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2017, operating expenses totaled $22,880,000, an increase of $2,938,000, or 14.7%, compared to the same period in 2016.2022.

Salaries and employee benefits are the largest category of operating expenses. In general, they comprise 63% of the Corporation’s total operating expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2017,second quarter of 2023, salaries and benefits increased $621,000,$1,194,000, or 14.7%17.8%, fromand for the same period in 2016. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, salaries and benefits increased $2,140,000,$2,137,000, or 17.5%16.2%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Salaries increased by $459,000, or 14.3%, and employee benefits increased by $162,000, or 15.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, salary expense increased by $1,528,000, or 16.9%, while employee benefits increased by $611,000, or 19.3%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Salary and benefit expenses have grown significantly primarily due to the three new branch locations added in 2016, but also as a result of additional operational positions to support the growth of the Corporation.

Occupancy expenses consist of the following:

·Depreciation of bank buildings
·Real estate taxes and property insurance
·Building lease expense
·Utilities
·Building repair and maintenance

Occupancy expenses increased $69,000, or 12.4%, and $244,000, or 15.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Building repair2022. This was primarily due to a competitive labor market that resulted in higher costs to attract and maintenanceretain employees inclusive of costs related to merit increases and higher employee benefit expenses.

Equipment expenses increased by $23,000, or 8.3%, and $67,000, or 8.3%,12.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Equipment service contract expenses increased by $16,000, or 24.7%, and $38,000, or 22.2%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Equipment repair and maintenance costs did not change for the quarterly period in both years, but increased by $15,000, or 48.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in the prior year. Other miscellaneous equipment expenses increased by $4,000, or 23.5%, and $27,000, or 74.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 2016. Partially offsetting these increases, depreciation on furniture and equipment decreased by $3,000, or 1.6%, and $14,000, or 2.6% for the three and nine-month periods in 2017 compared to 2016. In general, furniture and equipment expenses are increasing as a result of the expanded branch and office network.

Advertising and marketing expenses increased by $23,000, or 19.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, and increased by $117,000, or 27.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. These expenses can be further broken down into two categories, marketing expenses and public relations. The marketing expenses remained the same for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to the third quarter of 2016, but for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, these expenses increased by $84,000, or 31.7%, compared to the year-to-date period, in 2016. Public relations expenses increased by $23,000, or 72.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and $34,000, or 21.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Marketing expenses support the overall business strategies of the Corporation; therefore, the timing of these expenses is highly dependent upon the execution of those strategies.

Computer software and data processing expenses increased by $104,000, or 22.1%, for the third quarter of 2017, and $309,000, or 23.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Software-related expenses were up $78,000, or 30.3%, and $242,000, or 33.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily as a result of new branch and leased office locations. Computer software and data processing expenses increased amortization on existing software as well as purchases of new software platforms to support the strategic initiatives of the Corporation. Data processing fees were up $27,000,by $311,000, or 12.3%22.4%, and $68,000,$954,00, or 10.9%37.8%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, as a result of higher technology costs caused primarily by a debit card conversion scheduled to take place in 2023 that resulted in amortized contract costs. Shares tax expense is based on the Corporation’s level of shareholders’ equity and has decreased due to the decline in the Corporation’s level of shareholders’ equity. Professional services expenses increased by 33.2% in the second quarter of 2023, and 19.3% for the year-to-date period compared to the same periods in 2016. Theseprior year driven by higher fees are likely to continue to increase throughout the remainder of 2017 as new software platforms are installed and the cost of annual maintenance contracts increases and data processing fees increaseassociated with the increase in customer transactions.

The Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax expense decreased $12,000, or 5.3%, and $36,000, or 5.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Three main factors determine the amountissuance of bank shares tax: the ending value of shareholders’ equity, the ending value of tax-exempt U.S. obligations, and the actual tax rate. The shares tax calculation in 2014 changed to using a year-end balance of shareholders’ equity, less tax-exempt U.S. obligations multiplied by a tax rate of 0.89%. In 2016, as part of the State of Pennsylvania Budget discussions, the Governor proposed a Bank Shares Tax rate increase to 1.25%. 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. Once it was known the Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax rate was approved at 0.95% for the 2016 PA Bank Shares Tax year, the amount of expense was reduced in the second half of 2016 and throughout 2017.subordinated debt.

Other operating expenses increased by $74,000, or 14.8%, and by $44,000, or 2.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. Loan-related expenses increased by $95,000 for the quarter and by $100,000 for the year-to-date periods when comparing 2017 to 2016. The primary reason for this increase was the implementation of a third party origination loan program which generates revenue from loans referred by another financial institution, with a commission paid to that institution which runs through this other operating expense category. Additionally, fraud-related charge-offs increased by $14,000, or 63.4%, and $45,000, or 50.7%, for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Income Taxes

 

The majority of the Corporation’s income is taxed at a corporate rate of 34% for Federal income tax purposes.expense was $265,000 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $308,000 for the same period in 2022. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the Corporation recorded Federal income tax expense of $391,000 and $935,000,$661,000, compared to tax expense of $445,000 and $1,045,000$806,000 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2022. The effective tax rate for the Corporation was 16.1%13.5% for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, and 14.0%12.3% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, compared to 17.6% and 15.6% for the same periods in 2016. 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 2017 was primarily caused by an increase in the Corporation’s tax-free municipal bond portfolio.

2022. Certain items of income are not subject to Federal income tax, such as tax-exempt interest income on loans and securities, and BOLIBank Owned Life Insurance (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.

 

The Corporation is also subject to Pennsylvania Corporate Net Income Tax; however, the Corporation’s Holding Company has very limited taxable corporate net income activities. The Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ephrata National Bank, is subject to Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax. Like Federal Corporate income tax, the Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax is a significant expense for the Corporation, amounting to $215,000 in the third quarter of 2017 and $644,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $227,000 and $680,000 for the same periods in 2016. The Bank Shares Tax expense appears on the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income, under operating expenses.

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, 2017,2023, the Corporation had $320.7$456.0 million of debt securities available for sale, which accounted for 31.7%24.0% of assets, compared to 31.3%28.5% as of December 31, 2016,2022, and 30.7%32.7% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2022. Based on ending balances, the debt securities portfolio increased 7.6%decreased 21.2% from SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2022, and 4.1%13.8% from December 31, 2016.2022.

 

The debt securities portfolio was showing a net unrealized loss of $3,381,000$52,208,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, compared to an unrealized loss of $7,401,000$61,129,000 as of December 31, 2016,2022, and an unrealized gain of $1,850,000$46,602,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2022. 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% as of September 30, 2016, 2.45% as of December 31, 2016, and 2.33% as of September 30, 2017. The lower Treasury rates since December 31, 2016 have caused an improvement in market valuation, which has resulted in the smaller unrealized loss recorded at September 30, 2017 compared to the significant unrealized losses at December 31, 2016.

The table below summarizes the Corporation’s amortized cost, unrealized gain or loss position, and fair value for each sector of the securities available for sale portfolio for the periods ended September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, and September 30, 2016.

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 likely the Federal Reserve will act to increase rates one more time during 2017. During 2016, there was increased foreign market turmoil with several major European countries experiencing negative yields for mid and longer term notes. This resulted in foreign investors seeking U.S. Treasury debt as a safe haven and drove U.S. Treasury yields to new record lows early in the third quarter of 2016. Treasury rates increased significantly during the third and fourth quarters of 2016. The Treasury rates ran up to a 2017 high in March and then slowly retreated until hitting lows in early September. Since then Treasury rates have slowly increased and are likely to increase throughout the fourth quarter in anticipation of a December 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. 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 debt securities. The impact will vary according to the 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. 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 losses could grow if market rates do increase during the remainder of the year, either in anticipation of a Federal Reserve rate move, or after the next rate move.

After four consecutive quarters of declines ending on September 30, 2016, the 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 decline in the second and third quarters of 2017. 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 September 30, 2017. Duration is expected to remain stable or decline slightly throughout the remainder of 2017. It will be more difficult to reduce duration materially since management has increased the percentage of municipal holdings 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.

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, gains from the sales of securities did decline significantly.

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-income bonds, the Corporation’s equity holdings consist of a small CRA-qualified mutual fund with a book value of $5.3 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 and fair market value of $368,000 as of September 30, 2017. The equity holdings make up 1.8% 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 imposesestablishes guidelines to ensurepromote diversification within the portfolio. The diversity specifications provide opportunities to shorten or lengthen duration, maximize yield, and mitigate credit risk.

The compositionCorporation’s U.S. Treasury sector decreased $14.9 million during the first half of 2023, resulting in a 45.6% decrease in this sector. This sector represents a safe credit, but carries a low yield due to the investments made in 2020 and 2021. As a result, some Treasuries were sold during the first half of the securities portfolio based on fair market value is shown in the following table.

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.December 31, 2022.

 

The Corporation’s U.S. agency MBS and CMO sectors have increased in totaldecreased slightly since September 30, 2016, and the weightings have changedDecember 31, 2022, with significantly more CMOs and only slightly more MBS as of September 30, 2017, compared to September 30, 2016. The Corporation’s CMO portfolio has increased by $19.0decreasing $2.8 million, or 54.2%6.2%, while MBS balances have only increased by $3.4and CMOs decreasing $6.8 million, or 6.8%, when comparing September 30, 2017, to balances at September 30, 2016.24.9%. 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 - $3.0 million per month. 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

The portfolio 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. agencynon-agency MBS and CMO securities is reasonably stablestood at $50.2 million as of June 30, 2023, or 10.8% of the total portfolio.

The non-agency portfolio stood at $50.3 million at December 31, 2022.

The Corporation’s asset-backed securities declined by $4.7 million, or 6.4%, from December 31, 2022, to June 30, 2023. Many of the bonds in this sector receive regular monthly principal payments which caused the value to decline. These bonds are primarily floating rate instruments, so in the current rates-up environment, they have added to the overall yield increase for the portfolio.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the fair value of the Corporation’s corporate bonds increaseddecreased by $3.2$15.6 million, or 6.0%22.3%, from balances at September 30, 2016.December 31, 2022. During the first half of 2023, some Corporate bonds were sold to provide liquidity for loan growth. 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.

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 September 30, 2017, no securities have fallen below investment grade.

As of September 30, 2017, nineteen of the thirty-three corporate securities held by the Corporation showed an unrealized holding loss. These securities with unrealized holding losses were valued at 99.1% 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 September 30, 2017, all but three 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 unrelated corporate bonds, with a total book value of $6.7 million, did not have an A3 or A- rating as of September 30, 2017. 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 twelve 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 twelve bonds have a book value of $20.0 million with a $57,000 unrealized loss as of September 30, 2017. 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 September 30, 2017, 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, management 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 is closely monitoring all corporate and municipal securities.

There was moderate growth in the loan portfolio since September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2016. A decline2022. All of the loan categories showed an increase in agricultural mortgages and construction lending secured by commercial real estate betweenbalances since December 31, 20162022.

From December 31, 2022, the Agriculture Loan segment increased $7,237,000, or 3.0%, the Business Loan segment increased $14,400,000, of 4.3%, the Consumer Loan segment increased $378,000, or 6.4%, the Home Equity segment increased $3,254,000, or 3.3%, the Non-Owner Occupied segment increased $14,561,000, or 13.1%, and September 30, 2017 offset a large portion of the growth occurring in other areas of the portfolio, resulting in somewhat slower growth. Commercial real estate loans saw a decline in balances with increases in consumer real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans more than offsetting this decrease. 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,Residential Real Estate segment increased competitive pressures, including new market entrants, and headwinds in the agricultural marketplace impacting dairy farmers and poultry producers. $65,682,000, or 16.5% from December 31, 2022.

In the consumer real estate sector, 1-4 family residential mortgagessecond quarter of 2023, mortgage production increased due to6% from the expansionprevious quarter but was down 9% from the second quarter of 2022.  Purchase money origination constituted 93% of the Corporation’s mortgage division and successful efforts to expandoriginations for the product line and increase the sales force to capture a greater share of the local mortgage market. Home equity lines of credit have grown in response to the low interest rate environment encouraging customers to utilize 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 and during the first nine months of 2017.

In terms of all loans secured by real estate, the total of all categories of real estate loans comprises 85.4% of total loans as of September 30, 2017. At $259.5 million, commercial real estate is the largest category of the loan portfolio, consisting of 44.5% of total loans. This category includes commercial mortgages, agriculture mortgages, and construction loans. Commercial real estate loans decreased from $284.0 million as of September 30, 2016, to $259.5 million as of September 30, 2017, a $24.5 million, or 8.6% decrease.

The decline in commercial real estate loans has primarily been in those secured by farmland as well as a decline in construction loans partially offset by a small increase in commercial mortgages. Agricultural mortgages decreased $17.2 million, or 10.3% from $167.5 million as of September 30, 2016, to $150.3 million as of September 30, 2017. The decline in agricultural mortgages was caused by a combination of new agricultural lending competition in Lancaster County and weaker milk and egg pricing for farmers. Low dairy, egg, and poultry prices are constraining local farmers from expanding operations presently. Approximately 45% of the Corporation’s agricultural purpose loans support dairy operations while another 25% are either broiler or egg producers. The pipeline for new agricultural mortgages slowed in the second half of 2016 and did not pick up over the winter months leading into the spring of 2017. Management believes the present level of agricultural mortgages will remain flat until conditions improve for farmers in the local market area and pricing pressures from additional market entrants subside.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Commercial mortgages were the most stable sector within the commercial real estate area with a small percentage increase from the prior year period. Commercial mortgages increased by $2.8 million, or 3.2%, from September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2017, with new loan production outpacing normal principal payments and paydowns and payoffs. The commercial real estate market environment is showing slow growth in the Corporation’s market area but more competition is vying for this business. Management would expect commercial real estate loans to remain stable as a percentage of the Corporation’s loans as we move through the last quarter, of 2017.

The Corporation experienced declines in commercial construction as a number of construction projects completed and were converted into permanent financing. The Corporation did not originate any new large construction contracts to replace 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.

Consumer real estate loans make up 40.9% of the total loan portfolio with balances of $238.4 million as of September 30, 2017, a marked increase from 36.1% of the portfolio as of 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.

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%56% of that.  The growththat mix.  With the continued elevated fixed interest rate environment, the percentage of mortgage originations placed in the Corporation’s held-for-investment mortgage portfolio continued to be concentrated in its ARM products;remained high at 87%, 77% of which were adjustable rate mortgages.  As of June 30, 2023, ARM balances were $18.0$279.8 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 percentagerepresenting 60.4% of the 1-4 family residential loan 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 this area of the portfolio.Corporation.

Second mortgages 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 type 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.

Commercial loans not secured by real estate are significantly smaller than the Corporation’s commercial loans secured by real estate portfolio. These commercial and industrial loans, referred to as C&I loans, are generally extended based on the health of the commercial borrower. They include both fixed rate loans and Prime-based variable rate loans. The variable rate loans are generally in the form of a business line of credit. The Corporation’s security position as 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 to 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.

The consumer loan portfolio increased to $5.2 million at September 30, 2017, from $4.7 million at September 30, 2016. Consumer loans made up 0.9%represents 0.5% of total loans on September 30, 2017, and 0.8% of loans on September 30, 2016.loans. 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. Slightly higher demandthat are generally unsecured. Demand for unsecured credit is just slightly outpacingbeing matched by principal payments on existing loans resulting in the small increase instable 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 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, loans30.5% since December 31, 2022. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing decreased $406,000, or 49.9%, since June 30, 2022, and increased $238,000, or 140.8%, since December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily caused by $412,000 primarily due to loans that were previously past due being brought current due to payments received.

Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance each quarter based uponACL on a detailed analysis and calculationquarterly basis.  The ACL represents management’s estimate 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 uponlifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of the loan portfolio.balance sheet date. The allowanceACL is estimated by management using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Corporation measures expected credit losses for loans on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist.  Additionally, the ACL calculation includes specific provisionssubjective adjustments 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 risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. These qualitative adjustments may increase or reduce reserve levels and include adjustments for lending policies and procedures, loan portfolio trends, lending management experience, asset quality, loan review, underlying collateral, credit concentrations, and external factors. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis.

Based on the quarterly loan loss calculation, management will adjust the allowance for loan lossesACL through the provision for credit losses as necessary. Changes to the allowance for loan losses during the year are primarily affected by five main factors:

·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

Charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, were $30,000, compared to $47,000 for the same period in 2016. Management typically charges off unsecured debt over 90 days delinquent with little likelihood of recovery. In the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, only small loans classified as commercial and industrial loans 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.

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 $13.1 million on SeptemberJune 30, 2017, was up $7.12023, compared to $13.6 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, 2016.2022. Total classified loans did not materially increase untilhave decreased from the first quarter of 2017 when a large business relationship with over $5 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 loan 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.

prior year. 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 of specifically allocated allowance against the classified loans as of September 30, 2017, and no specific allocation as of December 31, 2016, or September 30, 2016. Classified loans could require larger provision amounts due to a higher potential risk of loss, so as the classified loan balances fluctuate, the associated specific allowance applied to them fluctuates, resulting in a lower or higher required allowance.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
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 charging off one commercial loan in the fourth quarter of 2017 that was on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2017. Management anticipates that charge-off to be approximately $275,000. The particular business has not been operating since 2016 and the property is expected to go to sheriff sale in the first quarter of 2018. Management is not aware of any other significant charge-offs that could occur in the fourth quarter of 2017. 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.

The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.37% as of September 30, 2017, 1.32% as of December 31, 2016, and 1.31% as of September 30, 2016. Management anticipates that the allowance percentage will remain fairly stable during the remainder of 2017, as the allowance balance is increased with additional provision expense to account for loan growth throughout the year. It is typical for the allowance for loan losses to contain a small amount of excess reserves. Management desires that the amount of excess reserve in the allowance for loan losses be maintained between 5% and 10%. The excess reserve stood at 5.8% as of September 30, 2017.

Premises and Equipment

 

Premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, increased by $1.6$1.1 million, or 7.0%4.5%, to $24.4$25.4 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, from $22.8$24.3 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2022. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, $1,285,0002023, $435,000 was classified as construction or improvement in process compared to $156,000$380,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2022.

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$7.8 million of regulatory stock holdings as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, consisted of $5.9$6.7 million of FHLB of Pittsburgh stock, $151,000$1.1 million 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$6.7 million on SeptemberJune 30, 2017, $5.22023, $5.6 million on December 31, 2016,2022, and $5.0$5.5 million on SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2022, 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 quarterly 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 by FHLB of Pittsburgh in the third and fourth quarters of 2016 and the first, second, and third quarters of 2017, is at a 5.00% annualized yield on activity stock and 2.00% 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.

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, 2016,2022, with the changes being a $41.1$44.1 million, or 15.8% increase6.5% decrease in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, a $2.5$101.2 million, or 11.6% decrease84.6% increase in interest bearing demand accounts,balances, a $13.7$18.4 million, or 14.9%14.4% decrease in NOW balances, a $13.1$1.3 million, or 15.3% increase0.8% decrease in money market account balances, a $21.1$30.6 million, or 12.6% increase8.2% decrease in savings account balances, and a $9.8$70.9 million, or 6.2% decrease62.4% increase in time deposit balances.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation has been a stable presence in the local market area that has experienced several large bank mergers. 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 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 institution as a partner to meet their financial needs.

terms. 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, time2023 and 2022, the total uninsured deposits of the Corporation were approximately $228,159,000 and $333,476,000, respectively. Total uninsured deposits is calculated based on regulatory reporting requirements and reflects the portion of any deposit balances, excluding brokered deposits, had decreased $7.9 million, or 5.0%, and $9.8 million, or 6.2%, from December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively. 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 anticipates that the recent declines in time deposits will likely continue until interest rates increase and cause more of a separation between longer-term rates and overnight rates.

Time deposits havecustomer at an insured depository institution that exceeds the applicable 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 Reformfor that depositor at that institution and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the $250,000 FDIC insurance coverage on allamounts in any other uninsured investment or deposit accounts was made permanent. This has caused an increase inthat are classified as deposits and not subject to any federal or state deposit insurance regime.

Borrowings

 

Total borrowings were $68.4$131.2 million, $69.6$113.4 million, and $75.8$83.9 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, December 31, 2016,2022, and SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2022, respectively. Of these amounts, $8.3There were no short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2023, but as of December 31, 2022, there were $16.0 million, and $12.1$20.0 million reflect short-term funds for December 31, 2016, and Septemberat June 30, 2016, respectively, with no short-term funds outstanding as of September 30, 2017.2022. 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$91.7 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, $61.32023, $58.0 million as of December 31, 2016,2022, and $63.8$44.2 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2022, respectively.

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 ofThe increase in long-term FHLB borrowings by replacing maturing advances with new long-term advances typically atsince June 30, 2022, can be attributed to the changing interest rate savings. More recently, with interest rates rising, it is becoming increasingly difficultenvironment and the desire to fund newladder out some borrowings at rates lower than the maturing borrowings. Management will continueinto future years 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 September 30, 2017, the Corporation was significantly under this policy guideline at 6.8% of asset size with $68.4 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 September 30, 2017, the Corporation was significantly under this policy guideline at 67.8% of capital with $68.4 million total borrowings from all sources. The Corporation has maintained FHLB borrowings and total borrowings well within these policy guidelines throughout all of 2016 and through the first nine months of 2017.

The Corporation paid an issuance fee of 2% of the total issue that will be amortized to the call date on a pro-rata basis. 

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 loancredit losses, thereby making this ratio lower than the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio.

 

The consolidated asset limit on small bank holding companies is $3 billion and a company with assets under that limit is not subject to the consolidated capital rules but may disclose capital amounts and ratios. The Corporation has elected to disclose those amounts and ratios.

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

As of June 30, 2023, the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio stood at 9.3% while the Corporation’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 7.6%. Tier 1 Capital levels at the Corporation level were not impacted by the subordinated debt issue since subordinated debt only qualifies as Tier 2 Capital at the corporate level. As such, in terms of the Corporation’s regulatory capital ratios, only the Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets ratio was enhanced as a result of the $40 million subordinated debt issue. Most of the marked improvement in capital ratios occurred at the Bank level. In 2022 and 2023, the Corporation’s earnings, net of dividends paid, positively impacted the level of stockholders’ equity, but a devaluation of the investment portfolio, resulted in a higher level of unrealized losses, and a negative impact.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, were $0.84, 3.7% higher than the $0.81 per share dividend in the first nine months of 2016. 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%. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, the payout ratio was 41.8%. 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 September 30, 2017, the Corporation showed an unrealized loss, net of tax, of $2,232,000, compared to an unrealized loss of $4,885,000 at December 31, 2016, and an unrealized gain of $1,221,000 as of September 30, 2016. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, 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.

Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

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.

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, 2017.2023.

Market Risks

During March and April 2023, three significant bank failures occurred (Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank). This was and continues to be accompanied by financial instability at certain additional banks. These bank failures and bank instabilities have created and may continue to create market and other risks, for all financial institutions and banks, including the Corporation. These risks include, but are not limited to:

1.Market risk and loss of confidence in the financial services sector, and/or specific banks;
2.Deterioration of securities and loan portfolios;
3.Deposit reductions with higher volumes and occurring over shorter periods of time;
4.Increased liquidity demand and utilization of sources of liquidity; and
5.Interest rate volatility and abrupt, sudden and greater than usual rate changes.

These factors individually, or in any combination, could materially and adversely affect:

1.Financial condition;
2.Operations and results thereof; and
3.Stock price.

In addition, the previously mentioned bank failures and instabilities may result in an increase of FDIC deposit insurance premiums and/or result in special FDIC deposit insurance assessments, which also may adversely affect the Corporation’s financial condition, operations, results thereof or stock price.

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:

ENB FINANCIAL CORP

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

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 loancredit 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:as deposits, loan repayments, cash flows from securities, borrowings, and current earnings.

 

·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 usesThe Corporation regularly reviews its liquidity position by measuring its projected net cash flows at a cumulative maturity gap analysis30 and 90-day interval. The Corporation stresses the measurements by assuming a level of deposit out-flows that have not historically been realized. In addition to measurethis forecast, other funding sources are reviewed as a method to provide emergency funding if necessary. The objective of this measurement is to identify the amount of assets maturing within various periods versus liabilities maturingcash that could be raised quickly without the need to liquidate assets. The Corporation also stresses its liquidity position utilizing different longer-term scenarios. The varying degrees of stress create pressure on deposit flows in those same periods. A gap ratioits local market, reduce access to wholesale funding and limit access 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 gapsfunds available through brokered deposit channels. In addition to assist in determining liquidity risk. The six-month and one-year gap ratios were within guidelines at September 30, 2017, and the three and five-year gap ratios were higher than corporate policy guidelines due primarily to higherstressing cash levels and faster loan prepayment speeds resulting in more assets maturing within the stated timeframes. The three-year ratio was 143.1%, and five-year was 142.1%, compared to upper policy guidelines of 125% and 115%, respectively. All of the gap ratios are higher than the ratios as of December 31, 2016. Given the fact that we are already in a rising interest rate cycle with the likelihood of higher rates in both the near and long term forecasts, the elevated gap ratios would be beneficial to the Corporation. Management believes the current gap ratios are appropriate and will continue to monitor all gap ratios to ensure proper positioning for future interest rate cycles.

Management has been maintaining higher levels of cash and cash equivalents to assist in offsetting the Corporation’s relatively long securities portfolio, which has helped to increase the gap ratios. The strategy of maintaining higher cash levels to improve gap ratios and act as an immediate hedge againstflow, specific liquidity risk indicators are monitored to help identify risk areas. This analysis helps identify and interest rate risk is expectedquantify the potential cash surplus/deficit over a variety of time horizons 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 aging of the portfolio. Since June 30, 2017 management has been selling longer duration municipal bonds and U.S. agencies, while purchasing shorter duration taxable securities including some floating rate instruments to better position the Corporation for higher rates.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

It is likely that short term rates will increase further during 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 year and 5 year gap ratios once several additional Federal Reserve rate increases occur. Ideally, management would like to have all gap ratios back within guidelines when the approximate midpoint of 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. This is referred to as opportunity risk, whereby lower levels of income are being achieved than desired. Carrying high gap ratios 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.

The risk of liabilities repricing at higher interest rates is increasing slightly in the present environment asensure the Corporation has begun to increase some deposit rates minimally. However, a large portion of the Corporation’s depositsadequate funding resources. Assumptions used for liquidity stress testing are core deposits with littlesubjective. Should an evolving liquidity situation 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 34 basis points as of September 30, 2017, which is very low from an historic perspective. However, this cost of fundsbusiness cycle present new data, potential assumption changes will likely begin to increase slightly throughout the remainder of 2017. The average cost of funds includes the benefit of non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts. The Corporation’s cost of funds was 33 basis points as of December 31, 2016, and 35 basis points as of September 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.

Deposits have not been very rate sensitive for a number of years as a result of the limited desirable rates available to the deposit customer. However, should market interest rates rise further in the remainder of 2017 and during 2018, customer behavior patterns would change and deposits would be more rate sensitive with a portion potentially leaving the Corporation.considered. The Corporation has experienced a steady growth in both non-interest bearing and interest bearing funds during this historically low interest rate environment and this trend continued throughout the first nine months of 2017. This trendbelieves it can partially be attributed to the market disruption that occurred in 2016 as a result of recent large local bank mergers that greatly impacted the Corporation’s market area.meet all anticipated liquidity demands.

 

The performanceHistorically, the Corporation has satisfied its liquidity needs from earnings, repayment 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. With equity markets beginning to improve in 2017, there has been a resurgence of customers pulling funds from deposit accounts to reinvest in the equity markets. This trend could causeloans and amortizing investment securities, maturing investment securities, loan sales, deposit growth and its ability to slow or decline throughout the remainderaccess existing lines of 2017.

The Corporation’s net interest margin is improving from levels in the previous quarter, primarilycredit. All investment securities are classified as a resultavailable for sale; therefore, securities that are unencumbered can be used as collateral for borrowings and are an additional source of the Federal Reserve rate increase in March and June of 2017. 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. Management expects that the gap ratios will remain within or above the established guidelines throughout the remainder of 2017.readily available liquidity.

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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

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

 

·Core Deposit RatioOn-hand Liquidity/Total LiabilitiesCore depositsNet liquid assets as a percentage of assetstotal liabilities
·Non-Core Funding Concentration AnalysisDependenceAlternative funding sources outside of core depositsNon-core liabilities minus short-term investments as a percentage of long-term assets
·Short-term Funds AvailabilityReliance on Wholesale FundingReadily available short-term fundsWholesale funding as a percentage of assetstotal funding
·Securities Portfolio LiquidityNet Short-term Liabilities/Total AssetsCash flows maturing in one year or less as a percentage ofShort-term liabilities minus short-term 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 LimitsLoan to Deposit RatioInternal borrowing limits in termsTotal loans as a percentage of both FHLB and total borrowingsdeposits
·Three, Six, and Twelve-month Projected Sources and Uses of Funds – Projection of future liquidity positions

ENB FINANCIAL CORP

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, 2017,2023, 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.

 

It is important for the Corporation to prepare for a rates-up environment and having more liquidity is advantageous as funds can be reinvested in higher yielding assets faster when sufficient liquidity exists. Management carried an average of approximately $40 million of cash and cash equivalents on a daily basis throughout the first nine months of 2017, with an ending balance of $44.2 million on September 30, 2017, and expects this will continue in the near future. AllThe 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.scenarios that can vary according to the present level of interest rates. The scenarios consist of a projection of net interest income if rates remain flat, increase 100, 200, 300, or 400300 basis points, or decrease 50100, 200, or 100300 basis points. Rates-down scenarios are unlikely at this point so management is more focused on the rates-up scenarios.

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 September 30, 2017. 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 is completed to compare actual results is performed quarterlyto projections to ensure the validity of the assumptions in the model. The internal and external validations as well as the back testing analyses 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 upchange immediately, the Corporation would realize moreless net interest income in all up and down rate scenarios. In past years, the Corporation was generally showing asset sensitivity meaning in a rates-up environment, assets would reprice faster than liabilities resulting in higher net interest income. This is due toIn 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 anpast few quarters, this increase in net interest income in the up-rate scenarios, butshifted to a decline in netprimarily due to the increased impact from a higher cost of funds as rates continue to rise. While the Corporation would recognize higher interest income on its variable-rate assets, it would also now be repricing liabilities at a much faster pace resulting in increased interest expense that would offset the rise in interest income. Likewise, in the down-rate scenarios.scenarios, asset yields would decline in conjunction with market rate moves, while deposit repricing would be slower to retain existing deposit balances.

 


Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP

The thirdsecond quarter 2017of 2023 analysis projects net interest income expected in the seven rate scenarios over a one-year time horizon. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the Corporation was well within guidelines for the maximum amount of net interest income change in all rate 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. 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 higher 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 300 or 400 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 in the event that they would go lower, 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 in the highly unlikely down-rate scenarios, the Corporation’s exposure to declining net interest income is still within policy guidelines.

 

Management’s primary focus remains on the most likely scenario of higher interest rates. For the rates-up 100 basis point scenario, net interest income increases by 2.7% compared to the rates unchanged scenario. In the remaining rates-up scenarios, the net interest income increases 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 400 basis point scenarios, net interest income increases by 7.6%, 13.6%, and 19.6%, respectively, compared to the rates unchanged scenario. Management’s maximum permitted net interest income declines by policy are -5%, -10%, -15%, and -20% for the rates up 100, 200, 300, and 400 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 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. Management does not expect the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate changes to increase or change significantly during the remainder of 2017.

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, 2017,2023, the Corporation was within guidelines for all rate scenarios except the down-200 and down-300 basis point scenarios. The trend over the past year has been lessening risk in the up-rate scenarios with increasing cash balances and core deposit balances with the current quarter showingCorporation shows a slightly smallerfavorable benefit in all up-rate scenarios than the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The strong GAP ratios played a large role in improving the Corporation’sto net portfolio value profile.in the rising rate scenarios, due primarily to the large amount of core deposits on the Corporation’s balance sheet. 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.

The results However, as of September 30, 2017, indicate thatinterest rates decrease, the discount rate used to value the Corporation’s interest bearing accounts decreases, causing a higher net portfoliopresent value would experience valuation gains of 8.3%, 8.4%, 7.5%, and 5.2%, in the rates-up 100, 200, 300, and 400 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% for rates-up 400 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, thethese interest-bearing deposits.

The analysis does showshows a valuation loss in the down 50 and down 100rate scenarios. Policy allows for a valuation decline of 25% for the down-200 basis point scenarios.scenario and actual projected results show a valuation decline of 27%. In the down-300 basis point scenario, policy allows for a valuation decline of 30% and actual projection results show a valuation decline of 51%. While these losses are outside of policy guidelines, the Federal Reserve has signaled that their preferred course of action is to increase rates until inflation retracts. The exposureCorporation will continue to valuation changes could change going forward ifmonitor these measurements in the behavior of the Corporation’s deposits changes duedown-rate scenarios and adjust balance sheet structure as necessary to higher interestprepare for future potential lower rates. Based on five past decay rate studies on the Corporation’s core deposits, management does not expect a material decline in core deposit accounts, including the non-interest bearing accounts, when short term interest rates do increase. 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.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Management is not aware of any litigation that would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Corporation or its subsidiaries taken as a whole. There are no proceedings pending other than ordinary routine litigation incident to the business of the Corporation. In addition, no material proceedings are pending, are known to be threatened, or contemplated against the Corporation by governmental authorities.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The Corporation continually monitors the risks related to the Corporation’s business, other events, the Corporation’s Common Stock, and the Corporation’s industry. Management has not identified any newOther than as noted below, there have been no material changes in risk factors sinceapplicable to the Corporation from those disclosed in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 Form 10-K filing.2022.

Recent negative developments affecting the banking industry, including recent bank failures or concerns regarding liquidity, have eroded customer confidence in the banking system and may have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

Recent events impacting the banking industry, including the high-profile failure or instability of certain banking institutions, have resulted in general uncertainty and eroded confidence in the safety, soundness, and financial strength of the financial services sector. In particular, the bank failures highlighted the potential serious impact of a financial institution unable to meet withdrawal requests by depositors. This has resulted in a growing concern about liquidity in the banking industry, access to and volatile capital markets and reduced stock valuations for certain financial institutions. Similar future events, including additional bank failures or bank instability, could directly or indirectly adversely impact our own liquidity, access to capital markets, stock price, financial condition and results of operations. Further, these recent events may also result in: greater regulatory scrutiny and enforcement; additional and more stringent laws and regulations for the financial services industry; increased FDIC deposit insurance premiums or special FDIC assessments; and higher capital ratio requirements, which as a result could have a material negative impact and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
