SHIPPENSBURG, Pa., July 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:ORRF), the parent company of Orrstown Bank (the “Bank”) and Wheatland Advisors, Inc. ("Wheatland"), announced earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Net income totaled $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared with $700 thousand for the same period in 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net income totaled $5.3 million, compared with $3.3 million for the same period in 2016. Diluted earnings per share totaled $0.40 and $0.65 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared with $0.08 and $0.40 for the same 2016 periods. Earnings in 2017 continued to reflect increased interest income from expanding loan and investment portfolios.

Thomas R. Quinn, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our sustained focus on the client experience and growing our team of talented bankers has continued the momentum of our expansion efforts, resulting in double digit annualized loan growth year-to-date. We believe that demand for our community banking model remains strong and we will continue to execute our strategic growth plan.”

OPERATING RESULTS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a 19.7% increase compared with the same period in 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net interest income totaled $21.0 million, a 19.1% increase compared with the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net interest margin on a taxable-equivalent basis totaled 3.35% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with 3.15% and 3.11% for the same periods in 2016. In the second quarter of 2017, the net interest margin of 3.35% matched the first quarter of 2017 as increased yields on interest-earning assets were offset by increases in costs of interest-bearing liabilities.

As had been experienced in the first quarter of 2017, increased yields on loans and investments reflected a higher interest rate environment in 2017. Additionally, tax-exempt securities were added to the portfolio in late 2016 and early 2017 with taxable-equivalent yields higher than the portfolio average. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities has increased at a slower pace than the yields earned on interest-earning assets in 2017, as the market was initially slow to respond to interest rate changes.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a $100 thousand provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared with no provision expense for the same periods in 2016. In calculating the required provision for loan losses, both quantitative and qualitative factors are considered in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Favorable historical charge-off data combined with continued stable economic and market conditions resulted in the determination that a modest provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2017 was required to offset net charge-offs and for loan growth experienced.

While asset quality metrics have improved throughout 2016 and 2017, as noted below, the growth the Company has experienced in its loan portfolio is one factor that may result in the need for additional provisions for loan losses in future quarters.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2017, excluding securities gains, totaled $5.0 million compared with $4.5 million in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, noninterest income, excluding securities gains, totaled $9.3 million, a $519 thousand increase, or 5.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Trust, investment management and brokerage income increased $376 thousand and $504 thousand in comparing the three and six month periods ended June 30 from 2016 to 2017. Approximately half of those increases are attributable to activity at Wheatland Advisors, Inc., which was acquired in December 2016. Trust department fees principally account for the remaining increases as additional revenues have been generated from favorable market conditions and the addition of an office in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

Mortgage banking income increased $86 thousand in comparing the second quarter of 2017 with 2016, but decreased $53 thousand in comparing the six months ended June 30, 2017 with 2016. The comparisons reflect some seasonality in mortgage production normally experienced in the second quarter over the first quarter, but also decreased refinance activity as interest rates have increased, some slight compression in margins, as well as the effect of retaining a portion of mortgage production for the loan portfolio in 2017 over 2016.

Investment securities gains totaled $654 thousand and $657 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with $0 and $1.4 million for the same periods in 2016, as market conditions presented opportunities to act on asset/liability management strategies and interest rate conditions to accelerate earnings on securities through gains, while also meeting the funding requirements of anticipated lending activity.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses totaled $12.4 million and $24.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with $12.6 million and $23.7 million for the corresponding prior year periods.

The principal drivers of increased expense items when comparing 2017 with 2016 were salaries and employee benefits and occupancy, furniture and equipment. As noted in the past few quarters, these increases include previously disclosed market expansion actions by the Company as it has added new, primarily customer-facing, employees and facilities, principally in Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin and Lancaster counties.

Salaries and employee benefits totaled $7.4 million and $14.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with $6.3 million and $12.5 million for the same periods in 2016. Higher expenses in 2017 were incurred for the aforementioned additional employees, merit increases and increased incentive compensation, increased health care costs and incremental expense for additional share-based awards granted in 2017.

In the second quarter of 2016, a reserve of $1.0 million was established for a matter which was resolved in the third quarter of 2016 with the Company's agreement to pay a civil money penalty in that amount to the Securities and Exchange Commission to settle administrative proceedings.

Other line items within noninterest expenses showed fluctuations attributable to normal business operations between 2017 and 2016.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense totaled $516 thousand and $940 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with $252 thousand and $866 thousand for the same periods in 2016. The Company’s effective tax rate is significantly less than the 34.0% federal statutory rate principally due to tax-exempt income, including interest earned on tax-exempt loans and securities and earnings on the cash value of life insurance policies. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 15.0%, compared with 21.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The lower effective tax rate for the first half of 2017 compared with 2016 is primarily the result of a larger percentage of tax-exempt income to total income and additional tax credits in 2017, coupled with a larger percentage of non-tax deductible expenses in 2016. In addition, the estimated annual effective tax rate in the first half of 2016 was based on a federal statutory rate of 35%. In the third quarter of 2016, the Company reassessed its estimated annual effective tax rate and changed the base federal statutory rate to 34% in expectation that the Company would not be in the higher tax bracket.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets totaled $1.47 billion at June 30, 2017, an increase of $60.4 million from $1.41 billion at December 31, 2016 and of $163.6 million from $1.31 billion at June 30, 2016. Loans, which are summarized below, were the principal driver for the growth in total assets at June 30, 2017 from December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016. In the June 30 year-over-year comparison, securities available for sale were also a principal growth component, increasing 23.8%, from $324.5 million in 2016 to $401.9 million in 2017. Deposit growth of $43.5 million in the first half of 2017 was the primary source of funding for growth in loans in the period. Year-over-year growth in securities and loans was primarily funded by deposit growth of $108.0 million, coupled with an overall increase in borrowings of $46.8 million and a reduction in cash balances of $25.6 million.

Gross loans, excluding those held for sale, totaled $934.4 million at June 30, 2017, increasing $51.0 million, or 5.8% (11.6% annualized), from $883.4 million at December 31, 2016. In comparison with June 30, 2016’s loan balance of $831.9 million, loans increased $102.4 million, or 12.3%.

The following table presents loan balances, by loan class within segments, at June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016.

Growth was experienced in nearly all loan segments from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017, with the largest dollar increase in the commercial real estate segment, which grew by $21.9 million (10.3% annualized), representing 42.9% of the portfolio growth for the period. The residential mortgage segment also showed substantial growth of $16.0 million (11.8% annualized) during this period. The Company continues to grow in both core markets and new markets through expansion of its sales force and by capitalizing on market disruption caused by the acquisition of some of our competitors by larger institutions.

Total deposits grew 3.8% (7.6% annualized) from $1.15 billion at December 31, 2016 to $1.20 billion at June 30, 2017, and increased 9.9% in comparison with $1.09 billion at June 30, 2016, due principally to growth in interest-bearing accounts. The Company continues to increase both noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposit relationships from enhanced cash management offerings delivered by its expanded sales force.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity totaled $143.3 million at June 30, 2017, an increase of $8.4 million, or 6.2%, from $134.9 million at December 31, 2016. This increase was principally the result of net income totaling $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 coupled with a $4.0 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and offset by dividends declared on common stock during the first half of 2017.

Asset Quality

The allowance for loan losses balance totaled $12.8 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, compared with $13.4 million at June 30, 2016. Management believes the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio remains adequate at 1.36% as of June 30, 2017. Favorable historical charge-off data and management's emphasis on loan quality have been significant contributors to the determination that a relatively stable allowance for loan losses balance is adequate even as the loan portfolio has been increasing.

Asset quality metrics have continued to improve throughout 2016 and 2017.

Nonperforming and other risk assets, defined as nonaccrual loans, restructured loans still accruing, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, and other real estate owned totaled $7.4 million at June 30, 2017, a decrease of $943 thousand, or 11.3%, from $8.3 million at December 31, 2016 and $8.3 million, or 52.9%, from $15.7 million at June 30, 2016. Nonaccrual loans decreased $8.9 million from June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2017.

The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans totaled 247.1% at June 30, 2017 compared with 181.4% at December 31, 2016, and 95.4% at June 30, 2016, reflecting the decrease in nonaccrual loans. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming and restructured loans still accruing totaled 200.4% at June 30, 2017, compared with 160.2% at December 31, 2016 and 89.6% at June 30, 2016.

Classified loans, or loans rated substandard, doubtful or loss, totaled $21.0 million at June 30, 2017, or approximately 2.2% of total loans, compared with $22.9 million (2.6%) at December 31, 2016 and $20.7 million (2.5%) at June 30, 2016.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements:

This news release may contain forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations, or beliefs about events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, our ability to integrate additional teams across all business lines as we continue expansion of our community banking model into Dauphin, Lancaster and Berks counties and fill a void created in the community banking space from the disruption caused by the acquisition of several competitors, and our belief that we are positioned to create additional long-term shareholder value from these expansion initiatives.

Actual results and trends could differ materially from those set forth in such statements and there can be no assurances that we will be able to continue to successfully execute on our strategic expansion east into Dauphin, Lancaster and Berks counties, take advantage of market disruption, and experience sustained growth in loans and deposits or maintain the momentum experienced to date from these actions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: ineffectiveness of the Company's business strategy due to changes in current or future market conditions; the effects of competition, including industry consolidation and development of competing financial products and services; changes in laws and regulations, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; interest rate movements; changes in credit quality; inability to raise capital, if necessary, under favorable conditions; volatilities in the securities markets;  deteriorating economic conditions; the integration of the Company's strategic acquisitions; and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in Orrstown Financial Services, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, under the headings “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” and in other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
