WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., Oct. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PWOD)

Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. achieved net income of $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, resulting in basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.58.

Highlights

  • Net income, as reported under GAAP, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $4.1 million and $11.2 million, respectively, compared to $4.5 million and $11.3 million for the same periods of 2020. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 2020 were impacted by a decrease in after-tax securities gains of $767,000 (from a gain of $799,000 to a gain of $32,000) for the three month period and a decrease in after-tax securities gains of $739,000 (from a gain of $975,000 to a gain of $236,000) for the nine month period.
  • The provision for loan losses decreased $570,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, to $75,000 and $940,000 compared to $645,000 and $2.0 million for the 2020 periods. The provision for loan losses was elevated in 2020 due primarily to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $0.58 and $1.58, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $0.63 and $1.61, respectively.
  • Return on average assets was 0.86% for three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 0.97% for the corresponding period of 2020. Return on average assets was 0.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 0.85% for the corresponding period of 2020.
  • Return on average equity was 9.85% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 11.05% for the corresponding period of 2020. Return on average equity was 9.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 9.57% for the corresponding period of 2020.

  • As of September 30, 2023, loan modification/deferral program in place to defer payments up to 180 days for principal and/or interest with only $1.3 million in loan principal remaining in deferral.
  • All COVID-19 related loan deferrals meet the requirements to not be considered a troubled debt restructuring.
  • Participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) by primarily utilizing third parties to service and place the loans.
  • Significantly reduced deposit rates during the latter half of March 2020 continuing through September 2023.
  • Total paycheck protection program loans originated to be held on balance sheet totaled $30.6 million with $10.6 million remaining on the balance sheet at September 30, 2023.

Net Income

Net income from core operations (“core earnings”), which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measure of net income excluding net securities gains or losses, was $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $3.7 million for the same period of 2020. Core earnings were $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $10.3 million for the same period of 2020. Core earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $0.58 basic and diluted, compared to $0.52 basic and diluted core earnings per share for the same period of 2020. Core earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $1.55 basic and diluted, compared to $1.47 basic and diluted for the same period of 2020. Core return on average assets and core return on average equity were 0.86% and 9.78% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 0.79% and 9.08% for the corresponding period of 2020. Core return on average assets and core return on average equity were 0.77% and 8.98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 0.78% and 8.75% for the corresponding period of 2020. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of core earnings, core return on assets, core return on equity, and core earnings per share described in this press release to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 2.85% and 2.84%, compared to 2.76% and 2.97% for the corresponding period of 2020. The increase in the net interest margin for the nine month period was driven by a decrease in the yield of the loan portfolio of 19 and 32 basis points (“bps”), while the investment portfolio yield declined 51 and 59 bps, respectively, during the current low interest rate environment. Further compressing the net interest margin was the significant increase of interest-bearing deposits. These deposits carry a current yield of a few basis points and have increased in average balance as commercial customers have received PPP funding and retail customers have received stimulus funding. Rates paid on interest-bearing deposit liabilities decreased 48 and 53 bps as rates paid were decreased significantly during 2020 due to the economic impact of COVID-19 prolonging the low interest rate environment. These deposit rate decreases have partially offset the decline in earning asset yield.

Assets

Total assets increased $70.0 million to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to September 30, 2020.  Cash and cash equivalents increased significantly due to deposit growth resulting from the various economic recovery programs instituted at the state and federal levels that impacted both commercial and retail customers, coupled with customers becoming more risk averse and seeking safety in a bank deposit. Net loans decreased $3.0 million to $1.3 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to September 30, 2020, as the COVID-19 business and travel restrictions and supply chain interruptions curtailed various lending activities such as indirect auto, home equity, and commercial. Lending activity began to rebound as business and travel restrictions were lessened during the second half of 2020 and continues to rebound in 2023. The investment portfolio increased $16.7 million from September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2023 as a portion of the excess cash liquidity was invested into short-term municipal bonds.

Non-performing Loans

The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans ratio decreased to 0.58% at September 30, 2023 from 0.78% at September 30, 2020 as non-performing loans have decreased to $7.8 million at September 30, 2023 from $10.6 million at September 30, 2020, primarily due to a commercial loan relationship that was paid-off during the fourth quarter of 2020. The majority of non-performing loans involve loans that are either in a secured position and have sureties with a strong underlying financial position or have a specific allocation for any impairment recorded within the allowance for loan losses. Net loan charge-offs of $186,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 impacted the allowance for loan losses, which was 1.08% of total loans at September 30, 2023 compared to 1.00% at September 30, 2020.

Deposits

Deposits increased $101.2 million to $1.6 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to September 30, 2020. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $47.6 million to $481.9 million at September 30, 2023 compared to September 30, 2020.  Driving deposit growth was the receipt of PPP funding by commercial customers, stimulus funding by retail customers, and customers becoming more risk averse and seeking safety in a bank deposit. Emphasis remains on increasing the utilization of electronic (internet and mobile) deposit banking among our customers. Utilization of internet and mobile banking has increased since the start of 2020 due to these efforts coupled with a change in consumer behavior due to the business and travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The increased level of deposits has allowed for a decrease in short and long-term borrowings.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased $6.1 million to $168.5 million at September 30, 2023 compared to September 30, 2020.  Accumulated other comprehensive loss of $2.0 million at September 30, 2023 increased from a loss of $678,000 at September 30, 2020 primarily as a result of a decrease of $936,000 in the net unrealized gain on available for sale securities. The current level of shareholders’ equity equates to a book value per share of $23.84 at September 30, 2023 compared to $23.05 at September 30, 2020, and an equity to asset ratio of 8.82% at September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2020. Dividends declared for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2020 were $0.96 per share..

NOTE:  This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).  Management uses the non-GAAP measure of net income from core operations in its analysis of the company’s performance. This measure, as used by the Company, adjusts net income determined in accordance with GAAP to exclude the effects of special items, including significant gains or losses that are unusual in nature such as net securities gains and losses. Because these certain items and their impact on the Company’s performance are difficult to predict, management believes presentation of financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company’s core businesses. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

This press release may contain certain “forward-looking statements” including statements concerning plans, objectives, future events or performance and assumptions and other statements, which are statements other than statements of historical fact.  The Company cautions readers that the following important factors, among others, may have affected and could in the future affect actual results and could cause actual results for subsequent periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company herein: (i) the effect of changes in laws and regulations, including federal and state banking laws and regulations, and the associated costs of compliance with such laws and regulations either currently or in the future as applicable; (ii) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies as well as by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or of changes in the Company’s organization, compensation and benefit plans; (iii) the effect on the Company’s competitive position within its market area of the increasing consolidation within the banking and financial services industries, including the increased competition from larger regional and out-of-state banking organizations as well as non-bank providers of various financial services; (iv) the effect of changes in interest rates; (v) the effects of health emergencies, including the spread of infectious diseases or pandemics; or (vi) the effect of changes in the business cycle and downturns in the local, regional or national economies.  For a list of other factors which could affect the Company’s results, see the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including “Item 1A.  Risk Factors,” set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
