Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets on September 30, 2025 were $2.297 billion, up 4.5% from $2.198 billion on December 31, 2024. Significant changes in the balance sheet from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025 include:

Debt securities available for sale decreased $39.3 million (7.7%) due primarily to paydowns.

Net loans increased $163.1 million (11.8%) over the year-end 2024 balance, primarily from an increase of $101.3 million in commercial real estate loans. As of September 30, 2025, commercial real estate (CRE) loans totaled $904.6 million (57.8% of total loans) with the largest collateral segments being: apartment buildings ($174.6 million), hotels and motels ($103.0 million), office buildings ($93.6 million), land development ($92.4 million), shopping centers ($89.3 million). These loans are primarily in the Bank's market area of south-central Pennsylvania. Of the total CRE portfolio, 41.0% was owner-occupied and 59.0% was non-owner occupied.

Total deposits increased $87.2 million (4.8%) from year-end 2024. The majority of the growth occurred in money management accounts, which was partially offset by a decrease in time deposits. Noninterest-bearing accounts were 16.4% of total deposit, up slightly from 16% at year-end 2024. For the first nine months of 2025, the cost of total deposits was 1.91%, but fell to 1.83% for the third quarter of 2025. On September 30, 2025, the Bank estimated that approximately 88% of its deposits were FDIC insured or collateralized.

On September 30, 2025, the Corporation redeemed $9.0 million of its $15.0 million, 5.00% fixed to floating, subordinate notes due September 1, 2030, utilizing excess cash on hand for the redemption.

Shareholders' equity increased $21.6 million during the first nine months of 2025 to $166.3 million on September 30, 2025. Retained earnings increased $10.8 million, net of dividends of $4.4 million, over the same period. The accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCI) decreased $9.7 million

during the first nine months of 2025 to $25.8 million. On September 30, 2025, the tangible book value(1) of the Corporation's common stock was $35.13 per share an increase of $4.48 per share from December 31, 2024. In January 2025, an open market repurchase plan was approved to repurchase 150,000 shares of common stock over a one-year period and 12,800 shares of common stock were repurchased during the first nine months of 2025 under the approved plan to fund the quarterly dividend reinvestment plan. The Bank is considered to be well-capitalized under regulatory guidance as of September 30, 2025.

Average interest-earning assets for the first nine months of 2025 were $2.164 billion, compared to $1.950 billion for the same period in 2024, an increase of 11.0%. This increase occurred primarily in the loan portfolio which increased 13.9%, driven by a 16.3% ($119.3 million) increase in commercial real estate loans. The yield on earning assets increased to 5.31% for the first nine months of 2025 from 5.15% for the same period in 2024. For the third quarter of 2025, the yield on earning assets was 5.39%. Total deposits averaged $1.867 billion for the first nine months of 2025, an increase of $278.1 million (17.5%) over the average balance for the same period in 2024. The cost of total deposits increased from 1.81% for the first nine months of 2024 to 1.91% for the same period of 2025, but the cost decreased to 1.83% for the third quarter of 2025.

Nonaccrual loans totaled $10.7 million, on September 30, 2025 and have increased from $266 thousand on December 31, 2024, but have decreased from $10.8 million on June 30, 2025. Nonaccrual loans were 0.68% of total gross loans on September 30, 2025 compared to 0.02% on December 31, 2024. The nonaccrual loans are comprised primarily of two loans: 1) a $7.3 million construction loan on a mixed-use commercial project, and 2) a $2.9 million hotel loan. The construction loan is current on payments as of September 30, 2025, the developer invested additional capital in the project during the third quarter of 2025, other investors are expected to provide additional capital during the fourth quarter of 2025, and the Bank has no commitment to lend additional money. Nevertheless, the Bank established a specific reserve of $894 thousand for this loan as of September 30, 2025, and with this reserve believes it is sufficiently collateralized for this loan. The hotel was auctioned in July 2025. Settlement of the auction sale is expected in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the net proceeds to the Bank are expected to fully satisfy the loan. The allowance for credit loss to loans ratio was 1.30% on September June 30, 2025, up from 1.26% on December 31, 2024, primarily due to the addition of the specific reserve, previously mentioned. The allowance for credit losses (ACL) for unfunded commitments was $1.9 million on September 30, 2025, compared to $2.0 million on December 31, 2024.

Income Statement Highlights – Third Quarter Comparison 2025 v. 2024

Net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $5.4 million ($1.19 per diluted share) compared to $4.2 million ($0.95 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 26.9%. Net income for the third quarter was negatively affected by additional amortization expense on the partial redemption of the subordinated note, and the specific reserve previously discussed.

Net interest income was $18.2 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $14.7 million for the same period of 2024, an increase of $3.5 million or 24.2%. The improvement was driven primarily by an increase in interest income on the loan portfolio.

For the third quarter of 2025, the provision for credit losses on loans was $1.3 million compared to $474 thousand for the same quarter of 2024. The increased provision for credit losses was due to the previously discussed specific reserve of $894 thousand. The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was a reversal of $53 thousand for the third quarter of 2025, compared to an expense of $11 thousand for the same period in 2024.

Noninterest income totaled $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $4.9 million for the same quarter of 2024, a decrease of 0.9%. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, income from Wealth Management increased $167 thousand, but was more than offset by a reduction in income from the change in fair value of equity securities.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $15.1 million compared to $13.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $1.2 million (8.8%). Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.1 million, primarily in salaries (increased $506 thousand) and health insurance (increased $420 thousand) period over period.

The effective federal income tax rate was 19.6% for the third quarter of 2025 and 17.3% for the same period in 2024.

Income Statement Highlights – Year-to-date Comparison 2025 v. 2024

Net income for the first nine months of 2025 was $15.2 million ($3.39 per diluted share) compared to $10.6 million ($2.41 per diluted share) for the same period in 2024, an increase of 43.1%.

Net interest income was $51.0 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared to $42.4 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of $8.6 million or 20.3%. The improvement was driven primarily by an increase in interest income on the loan portfolio which was up $9.8 million while interest expense increased only $2.1 million.

For the first nine months of 2025, the provision for credit losses on loans was $2.7 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period of 2024. The increased provision for credit losses was due primarily to the previously discussed specific reserve of $894 thousand. The year-to-

date provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was a reversal of $93 thousand for 2025, compared to a reversal of $41 thousand in 2024.

Noninterest income totaled $14.5 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared to $13.4 million for the same period of 2024, an increase of 8.1%. The growth was due primarily to an increase in wealth management fees, loan charges, and a refund on state sales taxes.

Noninterest expense for the nine months of 2025 was $44.1 million compared to $41.2 million for the same period of 2024 (an increase of 6.1%). As compared to the 2024 year-to-date period, salaries and employee benefits (primarily health insurance), legal and professional fees, and data processing fees increased, but were partially offset by a decrease in marketing costs.

The effective federal income tax rate was 19.2% for the nine months of 2025 and 16.9% for the same period in 2024.

GAAP versus non-GAAP Presentations – The Corporation supplements its traditional GAAP measurements with certain non-GAAP measurements to evaluate its performance and to eliminate the effect of intangible assets. By eliminating intangible assets (Goodwill), the Corporation believes it presents a measurement that is comparable to companies that have no intangible assets or to companies that have eliminated intangible assets in similar calculations.
