1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). However, all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for National Penn Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company” or “National Penn”) for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-K”).  The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

The consolidated financial statements include the balances of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, National Penn Bank.  All material inter-company balances have been eliminated. References to the Company include all the Company’s subsidiaries unless otherwise noted.

2.  BUSINESS COMBINATION

On October 24, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of TF Financial Corporation ("TF Financial"), a savings and loan holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 3rd Fed Bank. Headquartered in Newtown, Pennsylvania, TF Financial operated eighteen branch offices in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and had acquisition date estimated fair values of approximately $801 million of assets, which included $595 million of loans, and $658 million of deposits. The assets and liabilities of TF Financial were recorded on National Penn's consolidated balance sheet at their preliminary estimated fair values as of October 24, 2014, the acquisition date, and TF Financial's results of operations have been included in the Company's consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income since that date.

The acquisition was valued at approximately $136 million, consisting of $58.4 million in cash and the issuance of 8,030,953 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $77.3 million, in exchange for 1,903,139 shares of TF Financial common stock.

Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company recorded $44 million in goodwill and $4.8 million in core deposit intangibles as a result of the acquisition. The amount of goodwill recorded reflects the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. Based upon further review of the purchased credit-impaired ("PCI") loan portfolio, the Company recorded an additional $0.7 million in goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2015 . None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. Refer to Footnote 5 within this section for additional information related to the acquired loan portfolio.

Evaluation of Impairment of Securities

The Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, accumulated other comprehensive income did not include any impairment related charges for the non-credit-related components of OTTI.     

The majority of the investment portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government Agency securities (mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations) and state and municipal bonds. For the investment securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company has concluded, based on its analysis, that the unrealized losses are primarily caused by the movement of interest rates, and the contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investment.

At March 31, 2015, gross unrealized losses totaled $6.5 million, and the gross unrealized losses of securities in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer totaled $5.8 million, of which $5.4 million is attributable to agency mortgage-backed securities and $0.4 million attributable to state and municipal securities and other.  The Company evaluates a variety of factors in concluding whether securities are other-than-temporarily impaired.  These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and purpose of the bond, the underlying rating of the bond issuer, and the presence of credit enhancements (i.e. state guarantees, municipal bond insurance, collateral requirements, etc.). As a result of its review and considering the attributes of the individual securities, the Company concluded that the securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired.

Because the Company does not intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell these investments before a recovery of carrying value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider the securities in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Other securities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet totaled $67.3 million and $67.5 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The balance includes Federal Loan Home Bank ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock. These securities lack a market, and as such they are carried at par/cost since their fair value is not readily determinable. The Company evaluates, and will continue to evaluate, these securities for impairment each reporting period and has concluded the carrying value of these securities is not impaired. During 2015, the FHLB of Pittsburgh repurchased an additional $0.2 million, net, of capital stock from the Company at par/cost. Also, during 2015 and 2014 the Company received and recorded dividends on its FHLB stock.

7.  CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company is named as a defendant in various lawsuits.  Accruals are established for legal proceedings when information related to the loss contingencies indicates that a loss settlement is both probable and can be estimated. At March 31, 2015, the Company did not have material amounts accrued for legal proceedings as it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such suits will not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. The outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, and as a result, the amounts recorded may not represent the Company's ultimate loss upon resolution. Thus, the Company’s exposure and ultimate losses may be higher or lower than amounts accrued or estimated as the reasonably possible exposure.

9.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.11 per share, or $16.2 million, which was paid on February 17, 2015, to shareholders of record as of February 2, 2015.

On January 22, 2015, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a common share repurchase plan of $125 million. The authorization of this repurchase plan superseded all pre-existing share repurchase plans. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company repurchased 7.5 million shares of common stock totaling $76.5 million pursuant to this plan, inclusive of the repurchase of 7.3 million shares of common stock totaling $75.0 million from Warburg Pincus LLC ("Warburg Pincus") at $10.25 per share.

On March 16, 2015, the Company announced that funds affiliated with Warburg Pincus agreed to sell 11,565,072 shares of National Penn’s common stock, which comprised approximately 8.3% of outstanding shares, at $10.56 per share in an underwritten secondary offering pursuant to National Penn's shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction closed on March 20, 2015. Immediately following the completion of the offering, Warburg Pincus no longer owns any shares of National Penn’s common stock. No shares of common stock were sold by National Penn, and Warburg Pincus received all of the proceeds from the offering.

On April 16, 2015, the Company announced a second quarter cash dividend of $0.11 per share to be paid on May 15, 2015 to shareholders of record as of May 4, 2015.

10.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK - Continued

The Company enters into interest rate swaps (“swaps”) to facilitate customer transactions and meet their financing needs. These swaps are considered derivatives but are not designated in hedging relationships. These instruments have interest rate and credit risk associated with them. In response, the Company enters into offsetting interest rate swaps with counterparties for interest rate risk management purposes. The counterparty swaps are also considered derivatives and are also not designated in hedging relationships. Changes in the fair value of the customer and counterparty swaps are recorded net in the consolidated statement of income. Because these amounts offset each other, there was no impact on other operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2015. For additional analysis of the fair value of interest rate swaps refer to Footnote 12 within this section.

The following summarizes the Company’s derivative activity:

		Income Statement Effect
	Balance Sheet Effect at	for the Three Months Ended
Derivative Instruments	March 31, 2015	March 31, 2015
Interest rate swaps	Increase to other assets/liabilities of $31.0 million.	No net effect on other operating income from offsetting $5.7 million change.
Other derivatives:
Interest rate locks	Increase to other assets of $0.1 million.	Increase to mortgage banking income of less than $0.1 million.
Forward sale commitments	Increase to other liabilities of $0.3 million.	Decrease to mortgage banking income of $0.1 million.
		Income Statement Effect
	Balance Sheet Effect at	for the Three Months Ended
Derivative Instruments	December 31, 2014	March 31, 2014
Interest rate swaps	Increase to other assets/liabilities of $25.3 million.	No net effect on other operating income from offsetting $1.5 million change.
Other derivatives:
Interest rate locks	Increase to other assets of less than $0.1 million.	Decrease to mortgage banking income of less than $0.1 million.
Forward sale commitments	Increase to other liabilities of $0.2 million.	Decrease to mortgage banking income of $0.2 million.

11. BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING

Certain financial instrument related assets and liabilities may be eligible for offset on the consolidated balance sheet because they are subject to master netting agreements or similar agreements. However, the Company does not elect to offset such arrangements on the consolidated financial statements.

    The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements with customers and financial institution counterparties. For additional detail regarding interest rate swap agreements refer to Footnote 10 within this section. In the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract, both parties have the right to net settle multiple contracts. Also, certain interest rate swap agreements may require the Company to receive or pledge cash collateral based on the contract provisions.

The Company also enters into agreements to sell securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities, referred to as repurchase agreements on the consolidated balance sheet. Under these agreements, the Company may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase the assets. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain in the respective investment securities account, therefore there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities.    

The following table presents information about financial instruments that are eligible for offset:

12.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In general, fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, which is not adjusted for transaction costs. Accounting guidelines establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Basis of Fair Value Measurement:

Level 1 - Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The types of instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices in active markets include most U.S. Treasury securities, liquid mortgage products, active listed equities and most money market securities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  The Company does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

The types of instruments whose value is based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include most U.S. Government agency securities, state and municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and corporate securities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and their fair values are determined as follows:

• The markets for U.S. Government agency securities are active, but the exact (cusip) securities owned by the Company are traded thinly or infrequently. Therefore, the price for these securities is determined by reference to transactions in securities with similar yields, maturities and other features (matrix priced).

• State and municipal bonds owned by the Company are traded thinly or infrequently, and as a result the fair value is estimated in reference to securities with similar yields, credit ratings, maturities, and in consideration of any prepayment assumptions obtained from market data.

• Collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities are generally unique securities whose fair value is estimated using market information for new issues and adjusting for the features of a particular security by applying assumptions for prepayments, pricing spreads, yields and credit ratings.

• Certain corporate securities owned by the Company are traded thinly or infrequently. Therefore, the fair value of these securities is determined by reference to transactions in other issues of these securities with similar yields and features.

12.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Continued

Level 3 classification is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions. Valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.  Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments.  Internal cash flow models using a present value formula along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers are used to fair value Level 3 investments.  Management changes Level 3 inputs and assumptions when corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Fair values for securities classified within Level 3 are determined as follows:

• Certain corporate securities owned by the Company are not traded in active markets and prices for securities with similar features are unavailable. The fair value for each security is estimated in reference to benchmark transactions by security type based upon yields, credit spreads and option features.

• Certain marketable equity securities which are not subject to ownership restrictions but are traded thinly on exchanges or over-the-counter. As a result, prices are not available on a consistent basis from published sources, and, therefore, additional quotations from brokers may be obtained. Additionally considered indications of pricing include subsequent financing rounds or pending transactions. The reported fair value is based upon the Company’s judgment with respect to the information it is able to reliably obtain.

The Company utilizes a third-party service provider to assist with investment security pricing. Each quarter the Company performs an independent validation of the third-party security pricing by obtaining pricing from other sources and evaluating discrepancies to established tolerances for each security type, including a review of unchanged prices. Additionally, the Company evaluates the third-party service provider's pricing results by periodically reviewing the service provider's practices and procedures.

Interest rate swap agreements are measured by alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency in markets that are not active.  Based on the complex nature of interest rate swap agreements, the markets these instruments trade in are not as efficient and are less liquid than that of the Level 1 markets.  These markets do however have comparable, observable inputs in which an alternative pricing source values these assets to arrive at a fair value.  These characteristics classify interest rate swap agreements as Level 2 measurements.

The Company has the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and Company commitments at fair value (i.e. the fair value option), on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or liability or upon entering into a Company commitment. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. The Company has not elected to apply the fair value option to any of its financial instruments at March 31, 2015.

Fair value for loans held-for-sale is estimated based upon available market data for mortgage-backed securities with similar interest rates and maturities.  Lower of cost or estimated fair value write-downs recorded on loans held-for-sale were zero as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The recorded investment in impaired loans totaled $61.6 million with a specific reserve of $14.2 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $62.0 million with a specific reserve of $13.1 million at December 31, 2014. Fair value for impaired loans is measured primarily on the value of the collateral securing these loans, less estimated costs to sell, or the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate.  Appraised values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business.

Fair value for OREO and other repossessed assets is estimated based upon its appraised value less costs to sell. There were no additional write-downs included in the OREO and other repossessed assets balances at March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014.

In addition to financial instruments recorded at fair value in the Company’s financial statements, disclosure of the estimated fair value of all of an entity’s assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments is also required.  For the Company, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered to be financial instruments. However, certain instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction.  Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity and to not engage in trading or sales activities, other than mortgage loans held-for-sale.  Fair values have been estimated using data that management considered the best available and estimation methodologies deemed suitable for the pertinent category of financial instrument.  

The estimation methodologies, resulting fair values and recorded carrying amounts are as follows:

12.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Continued

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents have been estimated to equal the carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  Therefore, cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of investment securities held-to-maturity has been estimated in a similar fashion to similar securities categorized as available-for-sale.  Held-to-maturity securities include U.S. Government agencies, state and municipal bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities.  These instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the loan portfolio has been estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology based upon prevailing market interest rates relative to the portfolios’ effective interest rate which includes assumptions concerning prepayment rates and net credit losses, and may not be indicative of an exit price.  The loan portfolio is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of non-interest bearing demand deposits has been estimated to equal the carrying amount, which is assumed to be the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date and therefore are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of interest bearing deposits excludes deposits with stated maturities and is based on the assumption that the exit value of the instruments would be funded with like instruments by principal market participants.  These instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of deposits with stated maturities is estimated at the present value of associated cash flows using contractual maturities and market interest rates.  These instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of customer repurchase agreements has been estimated at the present value of associated cash flows using contractual maturities and market interest rates for each instrument.  These instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of FHLB advances is determined based on current market rates for similar borrowings with similar credit ratings, as well as a further calculation for valuing the optionality of the conversion features in certain of the instruments.  These instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the Company's senior long-term debt is based upon an unadjusted, quoted price (CUSIP: 637138AC2) and as such is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of subordinated debentures is estimated to equal their par amount as these instruments have floating interest rates based upon LIBOR and are callable at any time. These instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

13.  PENSION PLAN

The Company has a curtailed, non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (National Penn Bancshares, Inc. Employee Pension Plan) covering substantially all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries employed as of January 1, 2009.  The Company-sponsored pension plan provides retirement benefits under pension trust agreements based on years of service. Prior to April 1, 2006, benefits are based on the average of the employee compensation during the highest five consecutive years during the last ten consecutive years of employment. Beginning on April 1, 2006, eligible compensation was limited to $50,000 per year. The Company does not expect to make a contribution in 2015 because the plan’s funding credit balance will be applied toward reducing the contribution requirement. The Company’s expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is 7.25%.

On February 12, 2010, the Company curtailed its pension plan effective March 31, 2010, whereby no additional service will accumulate for vested participants after March 31, 2010. Unvested participants still have the opportunity to meet the five year vesting requirement to earn a benefit.

Net periodic benefit cost includes the following components:

15.  SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s operating segments, which are evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer to decide how to allocate and assess resources and performance, are “Community Banking” and “Other.” The Company determines its segments based primarily upon product and service offerings and through the types of income generated.

The Company’s community banking segment consists of commercial and retail banking. The community banking business segment is managed as a single strategic unit, which generates revenue from a variety of products and services it provides. Examples of products and services provided include commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, residential mortgages and other consumer loans, and deposit and cash management services. Both commercial and retail banking are dependent upon deposits and various borrowings to manage interest rate and credit risk. 

The Company has also identified several other operating segments. These non-reportable segments include National Penn Wealth Management, N.A., National Penn Insurance Services Group, Inc., and the parent bank holding company and are included in the “Other” category. These operating segments do not have similar characteristics to the community banking operations and do not individually or in the aggregate meet the quantitative thresholds requiring separate disclosure. The operating segments in the “Other” category earn revenues primarily through the generation of fee income and are also aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, products and services, type or class of customer, methods used to distribute products and services and/or nature of their regulatory environment. The identified segments reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. The accounting policies, used in this disclosure of operating segments, are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reportable segment-specific information and reconciliation to consolidated financial information is as follows:

	As of and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015
(dollars in thousands)	Community Banking		Other			Consolidated
Total assets	$	9,558,468	$	39,486		$	9,597,954

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding and evaluating the major changes in the earnings performance and financial condition of the Company as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015, with a primary focus on an analysis of operating results.  Current performance does not guarantee, and may not be indicative of similar performance in the future.  The Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Report are unaudited, and as such, are subject to year-end examination.

The Company’s strategic plan is designed to enhance shareholder value by operating a highly profitable financial services company within the markets it serves. Specifically, management is focused on increasing market penetration in selected geographic areas and achieving excellence in both retail and commercial lines of business.  The Company also grows revenue through appropriate and targeted acquisitions, through expanding into new geographical markets, or through further penetrating existing markets or business lines.  

The current economic climate and interest rate environment present challenges for financial institutions in achieving their business goals. The Company’s financial performance is substantially affected by external factors beyond its control. Issues such as the uncertainty of the domestic economic climate, counterparty creditworthiness, the functioning and availability of liquidity in capital markets and consumer demand for products and services are all impacted by legislative and regulatory initiatives of the federal government.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This Report contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). National Penn’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of National Penn’s performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of the following non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the impact of the specified items, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results of National Penn.

• Tangible common equity excludes goodwill and intangible assets and preferred equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and intangible assets from shareholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Tangible common equity provides a method to assess the Company’s tangible capital trends.

• Tangible book value expresses tangible common equity on a per-share basis. Tangible book value provides a method to assess the level of tangible net assets on a per-share basis.

• Adjusted net income and adjusted return on assets excludes the effects of certain gains and losses, adjusted for applicable taxes. Adjusted net income and adjusted return on assets provides a method to assess earnings performance by excluding items that management believes are not comparable among the periods presented.

• Efficiency ratio expresses operating expenses as a percentage of fully-taxable equivalent net interest income plus non-interest income. Operating expenses exclude items from non-interest expense that management believes are not comparable among the periods presented. Non-interest income is adjusted to also exclude items that management believes are not comparable among the periods presented. Efficiency ratio is used as a method for management to assess its operating expense level and to compare to financial institutions of varying sizes.

Management believes the use of non-GAAP measures will help readers compare National Penn’s current results to those of prior periods as presented in the accompanying discussion.

34

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP and predominant practice within the financial services industry.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The following accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results:

• allowance for loan losses;

• goodwill and other intangible assets;

• income taxes; and

• other-than-temporary impairment.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates, including assumptions or estimation techniques utilized, as compared to the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Business and Industry

National Penn Bancshares, Inc. is a Pennsylvania business corporation and a registered bank holding company headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania. National Penn operates as an independent community banking company that offers a diversified range of financial products principally through its bank subsidiary, National Penn Bank, as well as an array of investment, insurance and employee benefit services through its non-bank subsidiaries. National Penn’s financial services affiliates consist of National Penn Wealth Management, N.A., including its National Penn Investors Trust Company division; Institutional Advisors, LLC; and National Penn Insurance Services Group, Inc., including its Higgins Insurance and Caruso Benefits divisions.

The Company’s primary business is accepting deposits from customers through its retail branch offices, and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, in loans, including commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, residential mortgages, home equity loans, other consumer loans, and investment securities.

The Company’s strategic plan is designed to enhance shareholder value by operating a highly profitable financial services company within the markets it serves. Specifically, management is focused on increasing market penetration in selected geographic areas and achieving excellence in both retail and commercial lines of business.  The Company also intends to grow revenue through appropriate and targeted acquisitions, through expanding into new geographical markets, or through further penetrating existing markets or business lines.

At March 31, 2015, National Penn Bank operated 127 retail branch offices, of which 119 are located in Pennsylvania, seven are located in New Jersey, and one is located in Maryland.

The Company’s results of operations are affected by five major elements: (1) net interest income, or the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds; (2) the provision for loan losses, or the amount added to the allowance for loan losses to provide reserves for inherent losses on loans and leases; (3) non-interest income, which is made up primarily of banking fees, wealth management income, insurance income, change in fair value measurements, gains and losses from the sale of securities, and other transactions; (4) non-interest expense, which consists primarily of salaries, employee benefits and other operating expenses; and (5) income taxes. Results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, as well as changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

Merger with TF Financial Corporation

On October 24, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of TF Financial Corporation ("TF Financial") through a stock and cash merger. The three months ended March 31, 2015 include a full quarter impact of this acquisition and reflect the realization of the transaction expected cost reductions.

Significant First Quarter 2015 Transactions

On January 22, 2015, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a common share repurchase plan of$125 million.

On March 16, 2015, the Company announced that funds affiliated with Warburg Pincus agreed to sell 11,565,072 shares of National Penn’s common stock, which comprised approximately 8.3% of outstanding shares, at $10.56 per share in an underwritten secondary offering pursuant to National Penn's shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction closed on March 20, 2015. Immediately following the completion of the offering, Warburg Pincus no longer owns any shares of National Penn’s common stock.

• For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded net income of $26.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $22.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the comparable prior year period. This increase was largely driven by the Company's continued strong core net interest income performance, supplemented by the acquisition of TF Financial.

• Net interest income increased to $68.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $62.3 million for the comparable period in 2014, as a result of the acquisition of TF Financial and growth in the Company's originated loan portfolio. The Company's net interest margin declined eight basis points to 3.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 3.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily as a result of the interest expense related to the $125 million of senior notes issued in the third quarter of 2014, which accounted for approximately six basis points of the decline. This initiative further strengthens the Company's liquidity and positions it for additional strategic opportunities. Excluding the impact of the senior notes, the net interest margin remained relatively stable reflecting the benefits of the Company's asset/liability management strategies despite the effects of a prolonged, low interest rate environment.

• The provision for loan losses of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was comparable to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and lower than the $3.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The provision for the fourth quarter of 2014 reflected the impact of a large commercial loan downgraded to non-performing status during that quarter.

37

• Other non-interest income was $22.9 million for the first quarter of 2015, an increase of $1.5 million compared to the prior year period as income derived from the Company's mortgage banking operations and customer interest rate swap program increased.

• Other non-interest expense of $54.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $2.2 million from the comparable period in 2014 largely as a result of the acquisition of TF Financial. The first quarter of 2015 reflects the realization of the cost reductions anticipated in the TF Financial transaction and, overall, expenses continued to be well controlled as evidenced by an efficiency ratio of 57.10% for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 59.60% for the same period in 2014.

Assets

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

Economic conditions impact the Company’s customers. Although the economy and credit environment are inherently uncertain, the Company’s loan portfolio has demonstrated continued asset quality improvement. The Company remains focused on attracting and retaining high-quality commercial and retail customers to support quality loan growth.

Federal Reserve economic data regarding the Third District, which consists of eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware, suggests the following trends, which may or may not apply to the Company:

• Contacts in the Third District indicate that aggregate business activity continued to grow at a modest pace, with staffing and general services reporting moderate growth.

• Retail, including auto sales, experienced modest growth on par with overall economic activity. Residential construction and real estate sectors reported a mix of low growth and increased inquiries and contract signings, while the Commercial Real Estate sector reported modest growth.

• Financial firms reported a slight pace of growth, and credit quality has continued to improve. Demand has increased most significantly in commercial and industrial lending, both of which reported strong growth.

• Contacts continue to anticipate moderate growth over the next six months, particularly due to slight increases in wages and lower energy prices.

Total loans of $6.1 billion at March 31, 2015, inclusive of loans held-for-sale, declined $15 million from December 31, 2014 as a result of a decline in classified loans of $18 million, or 11.2%, an increase in prepayments in mortgage loans, and seasonality. The decrease in classified loans was driven primarily by the bulk sale and settlement of approximately $12.9 million of PCI loans, net of the related credit mark. Excluding the impact of the sale and settlement of the PCI loans, commercial loans in the first quarter of 2015 increased approximately $29.0 million, or 2.9% on an annualized basis from the fourth quarter of 2014, driven by growth in commercial and industrial loans.

The Company continued to demonstrate a strong and stable credit quality profile as evidenced by non-performing loans of $58.2 million, or 0.95% of total loans, and an allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans ratio of 154% at March 31, 2015, compared to $59.1 million, or 0.96% of total loans, and 153% allowance to non-performing loans at December 31, 2014. Non-accrual loans of $49.6 million at March 31, 2015 included $10.7 million of non-accrual loans which have been partially charged-off by 53.2% , or $12.2 million. Impaired loans totaled $61.6 million at March 31, 2015, and there was a specific reserve of $14.2 million in the allowance related to $40.9 million of underlying principal balances of impaired loans. The remaining $20.7 million of impaired loans have not been reserved or partially charged-off, since the Company has deemed the collection of principal to be probable.

The allowance was $89.7 million at March 31, 2015 and represented 1.46% of total loans and 154% of non-performing loans, compared to $90.7 million, or 1.48% of total loans and 153% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2014. The decrease of the allowance during the period reflects the strength in the various asset quality metrics and resulted in a provision for loan losses of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $1.3 million for the prior year period.

Liabilities

Liabilities totaled $8.5 billion at March 31, 2015, decreasing $95.4 million from December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in deposits of $32.5 million and a decrease in borrowings of $59.8 million. The reduction in borrowings is the result of a decrease in FHLB advances of $56.0 million and a decrease of $3.8 million in customer repurchase agreements.

Total deposits of $6.7 billion at March 31, 2015 decreased $32.5 million from December 31, 2014. The decline in deposits is partially attributable to seasonal fluctuations within the municipal deposit portfolio and is consistent with first quarter results in prior years. The relationship of non-time deposits to total deposits at March 31, 2015 was consistent with the December 31, 2014 result as the mix of the Company’s deposit portfolio and the overall costs of deposits remains a strategic priority.

(dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2015			December 31, 2014			Increase/(decrease)

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity totaled $1.1 billion at March 31, 2015, decreasing$57.5 million from December 31, 2014. Significant activity during the three months ended March 31, 2015 included: 

• Net income of $26.7 million,

• Other comprehensive income of $7.0 million,

• Shares issued under share-based plans, net of taxes, of $1.5 million,

• The repurchase of 7.5 million common shares at a cost of $76.5 million, and

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income for the comparative periods increased by $6.3 million to $72.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was driven by an increase of $6.8 million related to volume, primarily as a result of the acquisition of TF Financial, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million related to rate as the Company's net interest margin was 3.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 3.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Despite a prolonged low interest rate environment, the Company continued to effectively manage its net interest margin and the three months ended March 31, 2015 reflects the impact of a $125 million debt issuance aimed at enhancing the Company's strategic flexibility.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was comparable to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and lower than the $3.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The provision for the fourth quarter of 2014 reflected the impact of the downgrade to non-performing status of a single commercial relationship during that quarter. Credit quality metrics remained strong as annualized net charge-offs declined to 0.13% of average total loans for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from 0.33% for the same period in 2014 and remained consistent with 0.12% for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Originated classified loans declined to $143 million, or 2.56% of total originated loans, at March 31, 2015, from $174 million, or 3.24% of total originated loans, at March 31, 2014 and $153 million, or 2.75% of total originated loans, at December 31, 2014. The continued improvement in the Company's credit quality resulted in an allowance for loan losses of $89.7 million, or 1.61% of total originated loans, at March 31, 2015, compared to $90.7 million, or 1.63% of total originated loans, at December 31, 2014. The allowance as a percentage of non-performing loans increased to 154.2% at March 31, 2015 from 153.4% at December 31, 2014. For additional analysis of the allowance refer to “Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” within Part I, Item 2 of this Report.

Non-interest income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $22.9 million and $21.5 million, respectively, and its components changed primarily due to the following items:

• Insurance commissions and fees decreased $0.4 million due to a decrease in contingency and commission revenue.

• Mortgage banking income increased $0.7 million due to the interest rate environment and resultant refinance activity.

• Bank owned life insurance increased $0.2 million due to the purchase of $25 million of bank owned life insurance policies in the first quarter of 2015 as well as the additional policies acquired via the TF Financial acquisition.

• The Company experienced a $0.5 million loss on its unconsolidated equity investment portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

• Other operating income increased $0.7 million due to increased revenue from the Company's customer interest rate swap program.

Efficiency ratio (h)	57.10		%	59.60		%
(h) Refer to the Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the beginning of Part I, Item 2.

Non-interest expense totaled $54.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $52.3 million for the prior year period. The increase in non-interest expense and adjusted revenue is primarily the result of the TF Financial acquisition. Continued focus on controlling expenses resulted in a decline in the efficiency ratio to 57.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 59.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was $9.3 million and $7.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rate of 25.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased from 24.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as the proportion of taxable income to non-taxable income increased during the current year period. The Company’s net deferred tax asset decreased to $49.3 million at March 31, 2015 from $57.5 million at December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of fluctuations in interest rates which impacted the fair value of the available-for-sale investment security portfolio and the decrease in the accrued liability related to the 2014 incentive compensation awards which were paid in the first quarter of 2015.

The Company does not presently have any commitments for significant capital expenditures.

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is deposits obtained from retail, business and institutional banking customers. The Company supplements liquidity with a mix of wholesale funding. The Company’s wholesale sources of funds include:

• Relationships with several correspondent banks to provide short-term borrowings in the form of federal funds purchased.

• The Company is also a member of the FHLB and has the ability to borrow within applicable limits in the form of advances secured by pledges of certain qualifying assets.

• Overnight funds are available from the Federal Reserve Bank via the discount window, and serve as an additional source of liquidity.

As measured using the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company deployed $180 million of cash and cash equivalents during the three month period ended March 31, 2015, compared to deploying $99.2 million of net cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Operating activities generated $16.6 million of net cash year-to-date 2015, compared to $10.6 million for the same period in 2014. During the current year, cash was deployed in the following ways:

Investing activities

• $113 million of available-for-sale investment security purchases

• $25.0 million of bank owned life insurance policy purchases

Financing activities

• $76.5 million for the repurchase of common stock

• $56.0 million reduction in FHLB advances

• $17.9 million decrease in time deposits

• $14.6 million decrease in transaction and savings deposit accounts

• $16.2 million in cash dividends paid to common stock shareholders

During the three months endedMarch 31, 2015, cash was generated from the following additional sources:

Investing activities

• $105 million of proceeds from maturities and repayments of investment securities

• $9.6 million net decrease in loans

• $9.6 million of proceeds from the sale of acquired credit impaired loans

Capital

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) published final rules establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The rules implement the “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. Basel III refers to various documents released by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The new rules became effective for National Penn and National Penn Bank in January 2015, with some rules transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years. The new capital rules, among other things, introduce a new capital measure called common equity Tier 1, increase the required leverage and Tier 1 capital ratios, change the risk-weightings of certain assets for purposes of risk-based capital ratios, create an additional capital conservation buffer over the required capital ratios, and change what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting the various capital requirements. The new capital rules most significantly impacted the treatment of the Company's deferred tax assets when calculating capital and the increased risk-weighting of certain non-performing loans, as well as the new requirement to risk-weight loan commitments with a maturity of less than one year.

At March 31, 2015, National Penn and National Penn Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the criteria to be considered a “well-capitalized” institution under the final rules.  Management believes that, under current regulations, the Company and National Penn Bank will each continue to exceed the "Well Capitalized" capital requirements in the foreseeable future.

On January 22, 2015, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a common share repurchase plan of

$125 million. The authorization of this repurchase plan superseded all pre-existing share repurchase plans. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company repurchased 7.5 million shares of common stock totaling $76.5 million pursuant to this plan, inclusive of the repurchase of 7.3 million shares of common stock totaling $75.0 million from Warburg Pincus at $10.25 per share.

On March 16, 2015, the Company announced that funds affiliated with Warburg Pincus agreed to sell 11,565,072 shares of National Penn’s common stock, which comprised approximately 8.3% of outstanding shares, at $10.56 per share in an underwritten secondary offering pursuant to National Penn's shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction closed on March 20, 2015. Immediately following the completion of the offering, Warburg Pincus no longer owns any shares of National Penn’s common stock. No shares of common stock were sold by National Penn, and Warburg Pincus received all of the proceeds from the offering. 

Other Commitments

The following table sets forth the notional amounts of other commitments as of March 31, 2015:

(dollars in thousands)	Total		One year or less		After one year to three years		After three years to five years		More than five years
Loan commitments	$	1,935,206	$	660,961	$	302,388	$	207,869	$	763,988

The Company evaluates and establishes an estimated reserve for credit and other risks associated with off-balance sheet positions based upon historical losses, expected performance under these arrangements and current trends in the economy.

The Company may be required to utilize cash or other financial instruments on its balance sheet, if called upon, to perform according to the contractual terms of the commitments. The contract or notional amounts of the instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has for each class.

The Company uses derivative instruments for management of interest rate sensitivity. The asset/liability management committee approves the use of derivatives in balance sheet hedging. The derivatives employed by the Company may include forward sales of mortgage commitments, as well as fair value and cash flow hedges. The Company does not use any of these instruments for trading purposes. For details of derivatives, refer to Footnote 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company’s largest business segment is its community banking segment, whose business activities principally include accepting deposits and making loans.  As a result, the Company’s largest source of revenue is net interest income, which subjects it to movements in market interest rates.  Management’s objective for interest rate risk management is to understand the Company’s susceptibility to changes in interest rates and develop and implement strategies to minimize volatility while maximizing net interest income.  The Board of Directors establishes policies that govern interest rate risk management.  This is accomplished via a centralized asset/liability management committee (“ALCO”).  ALCO is comprised of various members of the Company’s business lines who are responsible for managing the components of interest rate risk, which include:

• Timing differences between contractual maturities and/or repricing of assets and liabilities (“gap risk”),

• Risk that assets will repay or customers withdraw prior to contractual maturity (“option risk”),

• Non-parallel changes in the slope of the yield curve (“yield curve risk”), and

• Variation in rate movements of different indices (“basis risk”).

ALCO employs various techniques and instruments to implement its developed strategies.  These generally include one or more of the following:

• Changes to interest rates offered on products,

• Changes to maturity terms offered on products,

• Changes to types of products offered,

• Use of wholesale products such as advances from the FHLB or interest rate swaps, and/or

• Purchase or sale of investment securities, and/or

• Other techniques as appropriate.

Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Minimizing the balance sheet’s maturity and repricing risk is a continual focus in a changing interest rate environment.

The Company uses a simulation model to identify and manage its interest rate risk profile.  The model measures projected net interest income “at-risk” and anticipated changes in net interest income for a rolling twelve month period.  The model is based on expected cash flows and repricing characteristics for all financial instruments at a point in time and incorporates Company-developed, market-based assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates on these financial instruments.

The Company also incorporates assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates.  These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income.  While actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies, this model is an important guidance tool for ALCO.

The following table demonstrates the anticipated impact of an interest rate shift on the Company’s net interest income for the subsequent twelve months:

	Change in Net Interest Income
Change in Interest Rates	March 31,
(in basis points)	2015	2014
+300	3%	1%
+200	2%	1%
+100	1%	0%
-100	N/A*	N/A*

* Certain short-term interest rates are currently below 1%. Therefore, in a scenario where interest rates decline by 100 basis points, short-term interest rates decline to zero, resulting in a non-parallel downward shift. In this interest rate scenario, net interest income is estimated to decline for the subsequent twelve months by 1% and 3% based upon net interest income for the twelve months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

54

ALCO forecasts net interest income and evaluates net interest income sensitivity on a continual basis, based on a variety of factors and assumptions. ALCO believes an interest rate ramp over twelve months, as reflected for 2015 in the table above, is a more probable rate scenario than an instantaneous shock. As illustrated in the table above, the Company has positioned itself to have a modest asset sensitivity interest rate risk profile.

The results of the net interest income analysis fall within the compliance guidelines established by ALCO and the Board of Directors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The information presented in the Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk Management section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Report is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

National Penn’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be so disclosed by an issuer is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  For National Penn, these reports are its annual reports on Form 10-K, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and its current reports on Form 8-K.

National Penn’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

National Penn considers its internal control over financial reporting to be a subpart of its disclosure controls and procedures. In accordance with SEC regulations, National Penn’s management evaluates National Penn’s disclosure controls and procedures at the end of each quarter, while it assesses the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting at the end of each year.

As of March 31, 2015, National Penn’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of National Penn’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated National Penn’s disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, National Penn’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that National Penn’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015.

There were no changes in National Penn’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, National Penn’s internal control over financial reporting.  

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any control system.  A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives are met. Further, the design of a control system is limited by available resources, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs and their impact on National Penn’s business model.
