Jeffrey A. Stopko, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the 2022 financial results: “AmeriServ Financial continued its positive earnings momentum in the third quarter of 2022 as we again posted increased earnings when compared to the 2021 results. The improved earnings performance in 2022 reflects the full benefit of several important strategic actions that our company executed in 2021, the successful management of our asset quality throughout the pandemic, and effective balance sheet management.  Our net interest income has increased in each quarter of 2022 as we have been able to more rapidly capture the benefit of higher interest rates on our earning assets while limiting the negative impact that higher rates have on the cost of funding our balance sheet. Additionally, this increase in net interest income occurred in 2022 despite a $1.5 million reduction in PPP loan related fee income in the first nine months of this year.”

The Company's net interest income in the third quarter of 2022 increased by $1.3 million, or 14.1%, from the prior year's third quarter and, for the first nine months of 2022, increased by $1.6 million, or 5.7%, when compared to the first nine months of 2021.  The Company’s net interest margin of 3.35% for the third quarter of 2022 and 3.24% for the nine-month timeframe represents a 50 basis point improvement for the quarter and a 17 basis point improvement for the nine-month period.  The size of the Company’s balance sheet continues to remain at a high level by historical standards prior to the impact of the COVID-19 government stimulus programs.  Both total loans and total deposits have demonstrated stabilization since the second half of last year.  The Company’s 2022 financial performance has been favorably impacted by the strategic actions taken by management in 2021 to lower funding costs.  The Company has also benefitted from the higher U.S. Treasury yield curve as interest rates have increased due to the Federal Reserve’s action to tighten monetary policy in their effort to tame decades high inflation.  The higher national interest rates have favorably impacted the Company’s financial performance, particularly net interest income, which has demonstrated an increasing trend as the year progresses.  Specifically, in 2022, the higher interest rates are causing total interest income to increase to a higher level than the corresponding increase in total interest expense.  In comparison to 2021, interest income increased for both the third quarter and the nine-month period.  Interest expense in the 2022 third quarter remained relatively consistent with the 2021 third quarter level, increasing slightly, but demonstrating a significant decline when comparing the first nine-month time period between years.  The higher interest rate environment along with increased investment in the securities portfolio more than offset a reduced level of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan fee income and caused total interest income to increase for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 when compared to the same time periods from last year.  The increased national interest rates resulted in total deposit costs increasing in the third quarter of 2022 when compared to the third quarter of 2021.  But this increase in deposit interest expense was nearly offset by a decline in total borrowings interest expense resulting in only a slight increase to total interest expense.  For the nine months in 2022, both deposit and borrowing interest expense declined and resulted in a significant decrease to total interest expense between years.  Financial results also reflect the impact of continued diligent management of our asset quality, as the Company’s loan loss provision expense increased by $150,000 for the 2022 third quarter but is $1,075,000 lower when compared to the first nine months of 2021.  Overall, the increase to net interest income, along with a reduced loan loss provision, more than offset a lower level of non-interest income and higher non-interest expense resulting in an improved earnings performance in 2022.

Total average loans in the third quarter of 2022 are lower than the 2021 third quarter average by $13.5 million, or 1.4%, while total average loans for the nine months of 2022 were $10.1 million, or 1.0%, lower than the 2021 nine-month level.  Strong loan pipelines have resulted in increased production during the second and third quarters of 2022 and more than offset a higher than typical level of payoff activity in the first half of 2022.  Excluding PPP loans, total average loans in the third quarter of 2022 exceed the 2021 third quarter average by $20.9 million, or 2.2%, as growth of commercial real estate (CRE) and home equity loans along with a higher volume of residential mortgage loans more than offset a decrease in the level of commercial & industrial loans.    Total PPP loans averaged $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of $34.5 million, or 96.3%, from the third quarter

of last year.  Additionally, of the $100 million of PPP loans originated from both government programs, only one very small PPP loan remains on the balance sheet that totals approximately $24,000, reflecting the Company’s successful efforts working with our customers through the SBA to complete the forgiveness process.  Overall, the higher interest rate environment along with the higher average volumes of CRE, residential mortgages and home equity loans, resulted in total loan interest income improving by $861,000, or 8.8%, for the third quarter of 2022 when compared to the third quarter of last year.  On a year-to-date basis, however, loan interest and fee income is $528,000, or 1.7%, lower through nine months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, as the favorable impact of the higher volume of traditional loans and the higher interest rate environment was more than offset by the reduction in PPP loan fee income.  This decrease is primarily due to the Company recording a total of $433,000 of processing fees and interest income from PPP loans in the nine months of 2022, which is $1.5 million, or 77.6%, lower than PPP income in the nine months of 2021. Finally, on an end of period basis at September 30, 2022, excluding total PPP loans, the total loan portfolio is approximately $14.0 million, or 1.5%, higher from the September 30, 2021 level.  

Total investment securities averaged $238.5 million for the nine months of 2022 which is $31.6 million, or 15.3%, higher than the $206.9 million average for the nine months of last year.  The increase in the U.S. Treasury yield curve resulted in a more favorable market for securities purchasing activity so far in 2022.  The 2-year to 10-year portion of the yield curve increased by approximately 220 to 344 basis points since the beginning of the year, with shorter yields in that range increasing to a higher degree than the longer yields.  Overall, the higher rates resulted in yields for new federal agency mortgage-backed securities and federal agency bonds improving and exceeding the overall average yield of the existing securities portfolio.  Management purchased more of these investments by redeploying the cash flow from the excess payoff activity from the loan portfolio and profitably utilizing a portion of the increased short-term liquidity on our balance sheet.  This redeployment of funds contributed to total securities growing between years.  Management also continued to purchase taxable municipals and corporate securities to maintain a well-diversified portfolio.  Overall, through nine months of 2022, the average balance of total interest earning assets was consistent with the nine-month average of 2021 while total interest income increased by $276,000, or 0.8%, between years.

Although reduced from its high levels when government stimulus initially impacted the economy, our liquidity position continues to be solid as total short-term investments averaged $29.4 million for the nine-month period of 2022, which is $21.4 million, or 42.2%, lower than the 2021 nine-month average.  Short-term investments averaged $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, which is lower than it has been trending over the past several quarters due to the additional investment in the securities portfolio.  Uncertainty remains regarding the duration that the increased funds from government stimulus will remain on the balance sheet.  Diligent monitoring and management of our short-term investment position remains a priority.  Continued loan growth and prudent investment in securities are critical to achieve the best return on the Company’s liquid funds with management expecting to continue to be active with new security purchases during the remainder of 2022 given the increase in interest rates.

On the liability side of the balance sheet, through nine months, total average deposits are $7.9 million, or 0.7%, higher compared to the nine months of 2021.  Total deposits continue to demonstrate stability over the past year despite a $29.7 million, or 2.5%, decrease in total average deposits when comparing the 2022 third quarter to last year’s third quarter.  This decrease reflects management electing to allow one high cost, large institutional deposit to mature late in September 2021.  Deposit volumes continue to reflect the favorable impact of government stimulus which provided support to many Americans and financial assistance to municipalities and school districts during the pandemic.  Deposit volumes were also favorably impacted by the Company’s successful business development efforts and the Somerset County branch acquisition, which occurred in late May 2021.  Overall, the loan to deposit ratio averaged 84.2% in the third quarter of 2022, which indicates that the Company has ample capacity to continue to grow its loan portfolio and is strongly positioned to support our customers and our community during times of economic volatility.  

Total interest expense for the nine months of 2022 decreased by $1.4 million, or 21.9%, when compared to the nine months of 2021, due to lower levels of both deposit and borrowing interest expense.  Deposit interest expense was lower by $425,000, or 10.9%, despite the higher year to date average volume of total deposits reflecting new deposit inflows as well as the loyalty of the bank’s core deposit base.  Also, management’s decision to allow the previously mentioned large, high cost institutional deposit to mature has proven to be beneficial since the interest rate on this particular deposit was indexed to the market and would have become more expensive with the rising national interest rates experienced so far in 2022.  This large institutional deposit was replaced by the additional low cost, fixed rate deposits from the Somerset County branch acquisition and resulted in significant interest expense savings.  The rising national interest rates this year resulted in total deposit interest expense increasing as certain deposit products that are tied to a market index reprice upward with the move in national interest rates.  Specifically, total deposit cost averaged 0.59% in the third quarter of 2022, which is 19 basis points higher than total deposit cost of 0.40% in the third quarter of 2021.  However, through nine months in 2022, total deposits costs of 40 basis points remain favorable to total deposit costs of 45 basis points through nine months of 2021.  Overall, management believes that total deposit cost will continue to rise given the expectation of additional short-term interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve throughout 2022.  

Total borrowings interest expense decreased by $506,000, or 52.9%, between the third quarter of 2022 and the same quarter of 2021 and by $934,000, or 40.7%, when comparing the nine months of 2022 to the nine months of 2021. The decrease between years results from the favorable impact of the August 2021 subordinated debt offering which was used to replace higher cost debt. This transaction effectively lowered debt cost on these long-term funds by nearly 4.0%. This savings is recognized even though the size of the new subordinated debt is $7.0 million higher than the debt instruments it replaced. Note that included in 2021 borrowings

interest expense is $202,000 of additional interest expense that the Company had to recognize from the write-off of the unamortized issuance costs from the original debt instruments that the new sub debt replaced.  The remaining portion of the favorable variance in borrowings interest expense between the nine months of 2022 and the nine months of 2021 is due to reduced interest expense from Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings.  The average balance of total short-term and FHLB borrowings is lower in the first nine months of 2022 by $13.8 million, or 26.4%, as strength of the Company’s liquidity position allowed management to let higher cost FHLB term advances mature and not be replaced.  

The Company recorded a $500,000 loan loss provision in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to a $350,000 provision expense recorded in the third quarter of 2021.  For the nine months of 2022, the Company recorded a $225,000 provision recovery compared to an $850,000 provision expense recorded in the nine months of 2021 resulting in a net favorable change of $1.1 million.  The increased third quarter 2022 provision expense reflects the transfer of one commercial real estate loan relationship into non-accrual status while the borrower pursues the sale of the property.  However, the provision recovery for the nine-month time period in 2022 reflects improved credit quality for the overall portfolio due to several loan upgrades and increased payoff and paydown activity including two substandard credits. As a result, the Company also experienced lower levels of classified assets.  As demonstrated historically, the Company continues its strategic conviction that a strong allowance for loan losses is needed, which has proven to be essential given the support provided to certain borrowers as they fully recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.  Even with the third quarter increase, overall non-performing assets remain well controlled totaling $6.0 million, or 0.61% of total loans, on September 30, 2022.  The Company continues to experience low net loan charge-offs, which were $111,000, or 0.02% of total average loans, in the nine months of 2022 and is only slightly higher than net loan charge-offs of $71,000, or 0.01% of total average loans, for the nine months of 2021. In summary, the allowance for loan losses provided 202% coverage of non-performing assets, and 1.23% of total loans, on September 30, 2022, compared to 373% coverage of non-performing assets, and 1.26% of total loans, on December 31, 2021.    

Total non-interest income in the third quarter of 2022 decreased by $90,000, or 2.0%, from the prior year's third quarter and for the nine months of 2022 decreased by $630,000, or 4.7%, from the nine months of 2021.  Net realized gains on loans held for sale decreased by $449,000, or 71.0%, for the nine months, due to the lower level of residential mortgage loan production which reflects a reduced level of mortgage loan refinance activity due to the rapid escalation of interest rates since the beginning of 2022.  Residential mortgage loan production through nine months in 2022 totals $19.9 million representing a $56.2 million, or 73.8%, reduction from the 2021 production level. The reduced level of mortgage loan production also caused mortgage related fees to decline by $218,000, or 70.3%, for the nine months.  Wealth management fees decreased by $324,000, or 10.3%, for the third quarter of 2022 and also declined by $77,000, or 0.9%, for the nine-month period between years.  The decrease in both time periods reflects the unfavorable impact of the declining equity markets on wealth management fee income as well as the unfavorable impact that the move in the bond market is having on wealth management asset values.  Both unfavorable items are being partially offset by new customer business growth.  The fair market value of wealth management assets declined since the fourth quarter of 2021 by $422.0 million, or 15.6%, and totaled $2.3 billion at September 30, 2022.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $139,000, or 20.3%, in the nine months of 2022 compared to the nine months of 2021, as consumers are more active this year, increasing their spending habits.  Revenue from bank owned life insurance (BOLI) increased by $108,000, or 48.9%, for the third quarter of 2022 due to the receipt of a death claim.  BOLI income for the nine months in 2022 is consistent with the 2021 level.  Finally, other income is $113,000, or 16.1%, higher for the quarter and $61,000, or 3.2%, higher for the nine-month period due to the recognition of a positive credit valuation adjustment to the market value of the interest rate swap contracts that the Company executed to accommodate the needs of certain borrowers while managing our interest rate risk position.

The Company has demonstrated good expense control in this inflationary environment as total non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2022 increased by $207,000, or 1.8%, when compared to the third quarter of 2021 and increased in the nine months of 2022 by $453,000, or 1.3%, when compared to 2021.  Salaries & employee benefits increased by $161,000, or 2.3%, for the quarter and are $721,000, or 3.5%, higher for the nine-month time period in 2022.  Within total salaries & benefits expense, salaries costs are higher by $1.1 million, or 8.5%, through nine months due to merit increases and a higher level of full-time equivalent employees (FTEs).  Total FTEs of 306 in the third quarter of 2022 are nine higher than they were in the third quarter of 2021 as the Company has been able to fill certain open positions this year.  Also, contributing to the higher salaries & employee benefits costs were additional increases to health care and other employee benefits.  Partially offsetting these higher costs within salaries & benefits through nine months was lower incentive compensation by $354,000, or 25.1%, due to the reduced level of loan production.  Similar to what occurred in 2021, the Company was required to recognize a settlement charge in connection with its defined benefit pension plan in the second and third quarters of 2022. The amount of the charge in the third quarter was $230,000, bringing the total settlement charge recognized for the nine months to $1.2 million.  A settlement charge must be recognized when the total dollar amount of lump sum distributions paid from the pension plan to retired employees exceeds a threshold of expected annual service and interest costs in the current year.  The value of the lump sums continued to be elevated this year due to the low level where interest rates were late in 2021 when these lump sums were calculated.  It is anticipated that the Company will be required to recognize additional settlement charges through year end as more people retire.  However, since the retired employees have chosen to take the lump sum payments, these individuals are no longer included in the pension plan.  Therefore, the Company’s normal annual pension expense is expected to be lower in the future.  This has been evident so far in 2022 as the normal amount of pension expense required to be recognized is lower than the 2021 level.  Specifically, pension expense in the third quarter of 2022 was $349,000, or 63.1%, lower than the 2021 third quarter level and was $687,000, or 34.9%, lower for the nine-month time period compared to last year.  Professional fees were

$401,000, or 9.8%, higher for the nine months of 2022 primarily due to higher legal costs in 2022.  Net occupancy expenses were $156,000, or 7.9%, higher through nine months of 2022 due to increased utilities cost along with maintenance and repair expense which was primarily related to the new branch office.  Partially offsetting these higher costs were other expenses decreasing by $767,000, or 12.0%, for the first nine months of 2022 when compared to the same time period from last year.  Contributing to the lower level of other expense was no additional costs related to a branch acquisition in 2022 after $390,000 of expense was recognized for this purpose in 2021.  Other expenses were also favorably impacted by a $215,000 credit for the unfunded commitment reserve after $92,000 of expense was recognized in the nine months of last year, resulting in a $307,000 favorable shift.

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $526,000, or an effective tax rate of 20.0%, in the third quarter of 2022.  This compares to an income tax expense of $341,000, or an effective tax rate of 19.2%, for the third quarter of 2021.  Similarly, for the first nine months of 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 20.0%, compared to income tax expense of $1.3 million in 2021, or an effective tax rate of 19.7%.    

The Company had total assets of $1.4 billion, shareholders' equity of $101.6 million, a book value of $5.94 per common share and a tangible book value⁽¹⁾ of $5.13 per common share on September 30, 2022.  The decline in the Company’s book value and tangible book value per share in 2022 reflects a decrease in the value of the Company’s available for sale investment securities due to higher interest rates and the negative impact of a revaluation of the net pension liability resulting from a drop in the value of the pension plan assets. The Company continued to maintain strong capital ratios that exceed the regulatory defined well capitalized status.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share and ratio data)

The press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (GAAP).  These non-GAAP financial measures are “return on average tangible common equity”, “tangible common equity ratio”, and “tangible book value per share.”  This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.  These non-GAAP measures are used by management in their analysis of the Company’s performance or, management believes, facilitate an understanding of the Company’s performance.
