SHIPPENSBURG, Pa., Oct. 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:ORRF), the parent company of Orrstown Bank (the “Bank”), announced earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.  Net income was $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2015.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net income was $4.7 million, compared to $6.4 million for the same period in 2015.  Diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.18 and $0.58 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $0.30 and $0.79 for the same periods in 2015.

Thomas R. Quinn, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We continue to be encouraged by our solid loan results and corresponding growth in deposits.  Although our presence in Lancaster, Berks and Dauphin counties is relatively new, the reception has been favorable and we have been able to take advantage of opportunities in these dynamic markets.  We have hired seasoned bankers with strong ties to their communities.  The early results are encouraging; we will continue to be diligent in our efforts to expand east and take advantage of market disruption." 

OPERATING RESULTS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a 6.0% increase compared to $8.7 million the same period in 2015.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net interest income was $26.8 million, a 4.7% increase compared to $25.6 million the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis was 3.14% and 3.12% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 3.11% and 3.16% for the same periods in 2015.  Despite higher average balances in loans during both periods in 2016 as compared to 2015 and a 25 basis point increase in the prime lending rate between the two years, the flattening yield curve affected the Company's net interest margin on a year to date basis.  For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the net interest margin of 3.14% expanded slightly over the same period in 2015, however, it was 1 basis point lower than the net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  Maturing loan proceeds were generally reinvested at lower rates due to competitive market conditions.  Increases on yields on securities helped increase the average yield earned on interest earning assets in 2016, however, it was not sufficient to offset increased funding costs.  The cost of interest bearing liabilities is generally influenced by changes in short-term interest rates.  Also influencing the cost of funds was $108 thousand of accelerated interest expense on the call of brokered certificates of deposits issued by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.  The combination resulted in the cost of interest bearing liabilities increasing from 48 and 43 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 56 and 54 basis points for the corresponding periods in 2016, with the call of the brokered deposits contributing 4 b. p. and 2 b. p. of the increase for the 2016 periods.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $250 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, compared to a negative provision, or reversal of amounts previously provided, of $603 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.  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.  The provision for loans losses of $250 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 is reflective of a growing loan portfolio, loan ratings migration, and other qualitative factors.  The negative provision in the third quarter of 2015 is the result of a recovery on a loan with prior charge-offs totaling $603 thousand.

As a result of the $250 thousand provision for loan losses combined with net recoveries of $32 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the allowance for loan losses increased from $13.6 million at December 31, 2015 to $13.9 million at September 30, 2016.   Asset quality ratios remained strong, with the allowance for loan losses representing 1.64% of total loans at September 30, 2016 compared to 1.74% at December 31, 2015.  Despite the decrease in the allowance for loan losses to loan ratio, coverage on nonperforming loans increased from 82.0% at December 31, 2015 to 102.2% at September 30, 2016 as nonaccrual loans decreased.  Classified loans, defined as loans rated substandard, doubtful or loss, totaled $24.5 million at September 30, 2016, or approximately 2.9% of total loans outstanding, and decreased from $25.3 million, or 3.2% of loans outstanding, at December 31, 2015.  In comparison to June 30, 2016, classified loans increased $3.8 million from $20.7 million, principally due to one large lending relationship that migrated to substandard status due to deterioration in the leasing status of the commercial property.

Despite favorable historical charge-off data in 2015 and 2016 and improved asset quality ratios, the growth the Company has experienced in its loan portfolio is one factor that may result in additional provisions for loan losses being needed in future quarters.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2016, excluding securities gains, totaled $4.6 million, a decrease of 4.9% from the $4.8 million earned in the same period in 2015.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, noninterest income, excluding securities gains, totaled $13.4 million, a $179 thousand increase, or 1.4%, compared to the same period in 2015.  Mortgage banking activities generated revenue of $1.0 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $837 thousand and $2.2 million for the corresponding periods in 2015.  Favorable interest rate conditions have supported increased new home purchases and refinancing activity resulting in the favorable increase in mortgage banking activities revenues during the year.   Trust department and brokerage income totaled $1.7 million and $5.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and represented 5.0% and 4.0% increases in the quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods, respectively.  Analysis of the comparison of trust and brokerage income indicates that increased estate fees were able to offset lower brokerage income.  Other income totaled $480 thousand and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, representing declines of 49.9% and 20.3% from the $959 thousand and $2.1 million earned in the same periods in 2015.   Favorably influencing 2015 results were incremental gains on the sales of SBA and USDA loans over 2016’s results totaling $177 thousand and $203 thousand for three and nine months, and higher loan fees totaling $187 thousand and $191 thousand for the same periods in 2015.

Securities gains totaled $0 and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $29 thousand and $1.9 million for the same periods in 2015.  For all periods in which securities were sold, asset/liability management strategies and interest rate conditions resulted in gains on sales of securities, as market conditions presented opportunities to accelerate earnings on securities through gains, while also meeting the funding requirements of current and anticipated lending activity.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses totaled $12.0 million and $35.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $11.2 million and $33.4 million for the corresponding prior year periods.  Salaries and employee benefits totaled $6.8 million and $19.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $6.1 million and $18.1 million for the same periods in 2015.  Excluding the impact of severance costs of $63 thousand and $360 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, salaries and benefits increased 12.8% and 8.5% for the three and nine month periods in 2016, compared to 2015.  The higher expenses in 2016 were due to additional employees, including customer facing bankers in the markets targeted for expansion, merit increases, additional medical expense for the new employees and increased claim activity, as well as higher costs associated with supplemental executive compensation and additional share-based awards granted in 2016.

Consistent with the Bank’s recent growth strategy in which new facilities were acquired in Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin and Lancaster counties, the Bank has experienced increases in occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, these costs totaled $1.5 and $4.1 million, compared to $1.3 million and $4.0 million for the corresponding periods in 2015.

Advertising and bank promotion expense decreased slightly from $471 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $433 thousand for the same period in 2016.   On a year-to-date basis, advertising and bank promotion expenses totaled $1.2 million, a $204 increase from the corresponding period in 2015.   The increase in the year-to-date amount is due primarily to $100 thousand of incremental educational improvement tax credit (“EITC”) contributions that carried over to the first quarter of 2016, and increased expenditures as we continue to promote the Orrstown brand and expand into new markets.

In the third quarter of 2016, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") lowered the assessment rate on banks requiring their insurance, given the surplus accumulated in their fund.  The Company benefited from the lower assessment, which lowered the cost of FDIC insurance to $143 thousand and $598 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $201 thousand and $631 thousand for the same periods in 2015.

Professional services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $585 thousand and $1.7 million, and decreased from $735 thousand and $2.1 million for the corresponding periods in the prior year.  In the second and third quarter of 2015, the Company had higher than normal legal expenses as it attended to legal matters, including the outstanding litigation against the Company and the ongoing confidential investigation with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") which began in the second quarter of 2015.  The SEC matter settled in September 2016, and the legal services associated with it in 2016 have been less than the heightened levels in 2015.

Taxes other than income totaled $186 thousand and $594 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, representing a decrease of $53 thousand and $97 thousand for the three and nine month periods compared to the same periods in 2015.  The decrease in expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is the result of incremental EITC contributions made in the first quarter, with a corresponding $90 thousand credit recognized on our Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax liability, and reduced the tax expense for the period.  The lower expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the corresponding period in 2015 is a result of filing the return in the third quarter and truing up the balances.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a regulatory settlement charge, due to its requirement to pay a civil money penalty to the Commission to settle administrative proceedings against the Company.  This amount was accrued as of June 30, 2016 as a legal reserve, but was paid in the third quarter of 2016.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense totaled $125 thousand and $991 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $462 thousand and $1.5 million for the same periods in 2015.   The Company’s effective tax rate is significantly less than the federal statutory rate of 35.0% principally due to tax-free income, including interest earned on tax-free loans and securities, and earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance policies.  On a year to date basis, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 17.4%, compared to 18.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 is the result of a larger percentage of tax-free income, additional federal income tax credits in the current year’s results, offset by nondeductible expenses.  The 8.0% effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 resulted from a lower projected annual rate for the year than at the end of the second quarter of 2016.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets totaled $1.4 billion at September 30, 2016, an increase of $42.8 million from June 30, 2016 and $61.3 million, or 4.7%, from December 31, 2015.   Securities available for sale declined from $394.1 million at December 31, 2015 to $374.9 million at September 30, 2016.  The Company has experienced strong loan demand, which has resulted in securities available for sale comprising less of the balance sheet at September 30, 2016, as proceeds from securities paydowns have been reinvested in loans.  In comparison to June 30, 2016, securities available for sale increased $50.4 million and was the result of the growth in deposits, with the funds invested in securities until such time as funds are needed for loan growth or to pay off existing short-term deposits.

Gross loans, excluding those held for sale, totaled $847.1 million at September 30, 2016, an increase of $65.3 million, or 8.4% (11.2% annualized), from $781.7 million at December 31, 2015.  In comparison to September 30, 2015’s loan balance of $762.9 million, loans increased $84.2 million, or 11.0%.

Growth was experienced in many loan segments from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016, with the largest increase in the commercial real estate segment, which grew by $61.8 million, and includes construction loans that were converted to permanent loans on a fully amortizing basis upon completion of the projects.   The Company continues to capitalize on the market disruption caused by mergers of larger institutions in our market, aided by increased sales efforts and additional relationship managers.

Total deposits were $1.1 billion at September 30, 2016, a 9.8% (13.1% annualized) increase from December 31, 2015.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased $17.0 million, or 12.9%, from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016 and totaled $148.4 million at September 30, 2016.  Interest bearing deposits totaled $984.9 million at September 30, 2016, a 9.3% increase from December 31, 2015.  The Company has been able to gather both non-interest bearing and interest bearing deposit relationships from enhanced cash management offerings as it increases its commercial relationships.  The additional deposits that the Company obtained in the first nine months of 2016 were used to pay down short-term borrowings and fund a large portion of the loan growth.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity totaled $139.8 million at September 30, 2016, an increase of $6.7 million, or 5.1%, from $133.1 million at December 31, 2015.  This increase was primarily the result of an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $3.9 million and net income of $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, offset by dividends declared on common stock of $2.2 million and treasury stock repurchases.

On September 14, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan in which the Company may repurchase up to approximately 416,000 shares in the open market.  As of June 30, 2016, 82,725 shares had been repurchased under the plan at a total cost of $1.4 million.  No shares were repurchased during the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Asset Quality

Risk assets, defined as nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, and other real estate owned totaled $15.2 million at September 30, 2016, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 15.9%, from December 31, 2015.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $13.9 million at September 30, 2016, an increase of $282 thousand from $13.6 million at December 31, 2015, due to the provision for loan losses and net recoveries for the period.  The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans totaled 102.2% at September 30, 2016 compared to 82.0% at December 31, 2015, and the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans and restructured loans still accruing totaled 95.8% at September 30, 2016, compared to 78.2% at December 31, 2015.  Management believes the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio remains adequate at 1.64% as of September 30, 2016.
