WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., April 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PWOD)
Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. achieved net income of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.51.
Highlights
- Net income, as reported under GAAP, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $3.8 million, compared $4.7 million for the same period of 2023. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 2023 were impacted by a decrease in net interest income of $552,000 as interest expense increased significantly due to the velocity and magnitude of the rate increases enacted by the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC"). The disposal of assets related to two former branch properties resulted in an after-tax loss of $261,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024.
- The provision for credit losses increased $67,000 to $138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to a provision of $71,000 for the 2023 period. The increase for credit losses was due primarily to a loan relationships that was moved to nonaccrual status and is being measured individually for impairment, which more than offset the impact of a decrease in historical loss rates.
- Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $0.51, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.66 and $0.64, respectively for the three month period ended March 31, 2023.
- Annualized return on average assets was 0.69% for three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 0.92% for the corresponding period of 2023.
- Annualized return on average equity was 8.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 11.12% for the corresponding period of 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 $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $4.7 million for the same period of 2023. Basic and diluted core earnings per share (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $0.51, while basic and diluted core earnings per share for the same period of 2023 were $0.66 and $0.64, respectively. Annualized core return on average assets and core return on average equity (non-GAAP) were 0.69% and 8.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 0.93% and 11.19% for the corresponding period of 2023. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of core earnings, core return on assets, core return on equity, core earnings per share and tangible book value 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 months ended March 31, 2024 was 2.69% compared to 3.10% for the corresponding period of 2023. The decrease in the net interest margin for the three month period was driven by an increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 156 basis points ("bps"). The FOMC rate increases enacted over the past several years contributed to the increases in rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities as the rate paid on short-term borrowings increased 79 bps for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. Short-term borrowings increased in volume and rate paid as this funding source was utilized to provide funding for the growth in the loan portfolio, resulting in an increase of $565,000 in expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. The rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased 156 bps or $4.6 million in expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of 2023 due to the FOMC rate actions, an increase in competition for deposits, and a migration of deposit balances from core deposits to higher rate time deposits. The rates paid on time deposits significantly contributed to the increase in funding costs as rates paid for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 increased 198 bps or $3.2 million in expense as deposit gathering campaigns continued to focus on time deposits with a maturity within twelve months. In addition, brokered deposits have been utilized to assist with the funding of the loan portfolio growth and contributed to the increase in time deposit funding costs. Partially offsetting the increase in funding cost was an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets and growth in the average balance of the earning assets portfolio compared to the same period in 2023. The average loan portfolio balance increased $185.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 as the average yield on the portfolio increased 79 bps resulting in an increase in taxable equivalent interest income of $5.9 million. The three month period ended March 31, 2024 was impacted by an increase of 85 bps in the yield earned on the securities portfolio as legacy securities matured with the funds reinvested at higher rates, which resulted in an increase of taxable equivalent interest income of $463,000.
Assets
Total assets increased to $2.2 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $145.0 million compared to March 31, 2023. Net loans increased $155.5 million to $1.8 billion at March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023, as continued emphasis was placed on commercial loan growth coupled with growth in indirect auto lending. The investment portfolio decreased $5.2 million from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 as restricted investment in bank stock increased $4.8 million resulting from the requirement to hold additional stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB") due to an increase in the level of borrowings from the FHLB. Investment debt securities decreased $9.9 million from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 as cash flow from this portfolio was utilized to fund the loan portfolio growth. The increase in total borrowings of $143.1 million to $373.0 million at March 31, 2024 was utilized to provide funding for the growth in the loan portfolio.
Non-performing Loans
The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans ratio increased to 0.43% at March 31, 2024 from 0.28% at March 31, 2023, as non-performing loans increased to $8.0 million at March 31, 2024 from $4.8 million at March 31, 2023. 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 been classified as individually evaluated loans that have a specific allocation recorded within the allowance for credit losses. Net loan charge-offs of $380,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 impacted the allowance for credit losses, which was 0.62% of total loans at March 31, 2024 compared to 0.69% at March 31, 2023. Exposure to non-owner occupied office space is minimal at $14.3 million at March 31, 2024 with none of these loans being delinquent.
Deposits
Deposits decreased $20.3 million to $1.6 billion at March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $30.9 million to $471.5 million at March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023. Core deposits declined as deposits migrated from core deposit accounts into time deposits as market rates increased due to the FOMC rate increases and increased competition for deposits. Core deposit gathering efforts remained focused on increasing the utilization of electronic (internet and mobile) deposit banking by our customers. Core deposits have remained stable at $1.2 billion over the past four quarters. Interest-bearing deposits increased $10.6 million from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 primarily due to increased utilization of brokered deposits of $83.9 million as this funding source was utilized to supplement funding loan portfolio growth, while reducing the need to draw upon available borrowing lines. A campaign to attract time deposits with a maturity of five to twenty-four months commenced during the latter part of 2022 and has continued throughout 2023 and 2024 with current efforts centered on five months.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity increased $19.5 million to $193.5 million at March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 there were no shares issued as part of the registered at-the-market offering. A total of 10,940 shares for net proceeds of $205,000 were issued as part of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Accumulated other comprehensive loss of $9.2 million at March 31, 2023 decreased from a loss of $12.0 million at March 31, 2023 as a result of a decrease in net unrealized loss on available for sale securities to $6.4 million at March 31, 2024 from a net unrealized loss of $7.9 million at March 31, 2023 coupled with a decrease in loss of $1.4 million in the defined benefit plan obligation. The current level of shareholders’ equity equates to a book value per share of $25.72 at March 31, 2024 compared to $24.64 at March 31, 2023, and an equity to asset ratio of 8.76% at March 31, 2024 and 8.42% at March 31, 2023. Tangible book value per share increased to $23.50 at March 31, 2024 compared to $22.27 at March 31, 2023. Dividends declared for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $0.32 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.

- Net income, as reported under GAAP, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $3.8 million, compared $4.7 million for the same period of 2023. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 2023 were impacted by a decrease in net interest income of $552,000 as interest expense increased significantly due to the velocity and magnitude of the rate increases enacted by the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC"). The disposal of assets related to two former branch properties resulted in an after-tax loss of $261,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024.
