FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP
ANNOUNCES EARNINGS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER
October 20, 2011-Honesdale, PA
Lewis J. Critelli, President and Chief Executive Officer of Norwood Financial Corp. (Nasdaq Global Market-NWFL) and its subsidiary, Wayne Bank, announced earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2011 of $2,215,000. This represents an increase of $325,000, or 17.2%, over the $1,890,000 earned in the third quarter of 2010. Earnings per share (fully diluted) were $.67 in the 2011 period, down slightly from the $.68 earned in the similar period of last year due to the increased number of shares outstanding resulting from the North Penn Bancorp, Inc. (“North Penn”) acquisition. Annualized return on average assets for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 1.28% with an annualized return on average equity of 10.17%. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $5,359,000, which is $146,000 lower than the similar period of 2010 due primarily to merger-related costs. Earnings per share (fully diluted) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $1.79 per share compared to $1.99 per share in the 2010 period.
Total assets as of September 30, 2011 were $678.9 million with loans receivable of $454.8 million, deposits of $526.5 million and stockholders’ equity of $86.9 million. Total assets have increased $144.3 million during the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 due primarily to balances acquired in the North Penn transaction.
Loans receivable increased $96.5 million from September 30, 2010 due to the acquisition, including a $73.8 million increase in commercial loans and a $22.7 million increase in retail loans.
1
Non-performing assets, which include non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate owned, totaled $9.6 million and 1.42% of total assets as of September 30, 2011 compared to $10.6 million and 1.50% of assets as of June 30, 2011 and $4.4 million or .82% of total assets as of September 30, 2010. The increase in non-performing assets from the prior year is due in part to loans acquired in the merger. Net charge-offs were $347,000 for the quarter and totaled $1,346,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $158,000 and $670,000, respectively, for the similar periods in 2010. The increase in charge-offs in 2011 is due primarily to one credit which had been carried in non-accrual status. Based on the increase in charge-offs, the Company determined that it would be appropriate to provide $425,000 and $1,075,000 for potential future losses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $250,000 and $730,000, respectively, for the similar periods in 2010. The allowance for loan losses totaled $5,345,000 as of September 30, 2011 and represented 1.18% of total loans, decreasing from $5,513,000 as of September 30, 2010 and 1.54% of total loans.
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte), totaled $6,573,000, which represents an increase of $1.4 million, or 26.6%, compared to $5,192,000 for the similar period in 2010. The increase can be attributed to the benefits realized since closing on the North Penn transaction. Net interest margin (fte) for the 2011 period was 4.13% compared to 4.03% for the similar period in 2010. The improvement in the net interest margin was principally due to yields on loans in excess of the cost of deposits acquired from North Penn. Net interest income (fte) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $17,216,000, an increase of $1,755,000, or 11.3%, over the similar period in 2010. Net interest margin (fte) year to date for the 2011 period was 4.03% compared to 4.05% in 2010.
2
Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $1,506,000 compared to $1,035,000 for the similar period in 2010. The increase was principally due to increased gains on the sales of investment securities during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, other income totaled $3,707,000 compared to $3,053,000 in the 2010 period. The 2011 year-to-date period includes $282,000 in gains and servicing rights on the sale of $8.7 million of residential mortgage loans compared to $208,000 in similar gains on sales of $10.5 million of mortgage loans in the 2010 period. Gains on the sales of investment securities totaled $768,000 on sales of $27.7 million for the 2011 year-to-date period compared to $380,000 on sales of $23.8 million in the 2010 period. The proceeds from investment securities sales were reinvested to improve credit quality, provide current period income and to add protection from rising interest rates.
Other expenses totaled $4,354,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $3,112,000 in the similar period of 2010. The increase includes $693,000 of costs related to the five offices added through merger, as well as $282,000 foreclosed real estate costs due primarily to one property transferred during the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, other expenses total $11,824,000 compared to $9,448,000 for the similar period in 2010, an increase of $2.4 million due to merger related costs and increased foreclosed real estate expenses.
Mr. Critelli commented, “We are beginning to see the benefits of the North Penn acquisition. Net interest income improved $670,000 over the second quarter of this year, and the $2.2 million of net income recorded in the third quarter represents a significant improvement over the prior period and the same period of last year. Our net interest margin continues to show improvement, earnings per share for the quarter are comparable to last year, and our capital levels exceed the regulatory “Well Capitalized” targets. Our
3
earnings through nine months of 2011 are down slightly from 2010, but this was primarily due to one-time merger related expenses. A fragile economy and high unemployment will continue to impact our markets and customer base for the foreseeable future, but we remain committed to provide the products and services required from a true community bank during this trough in the economic cycle. We believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities available to us, and we look forward to serving our growing customer base as the economy rebounds from the recent difficulties.”
Norwood Financial Corp., through its subsidiary Wayne Bank, operates sixteen offices in Wayne, Pike, Monroe and Lackawanna Counties, Pennsylvania. The Company’s stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market, under the symbol, “NWFL”.
