AMERISERV FINANCIAL REPORTS EARNINGS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2026 AND ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY COMMON STOCK CASH DIVIDEND
JOHNSTOWN, PA - AmeriServ Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASRV) reported first quarter 2026 net income of $1,794,000, or $0.11 per diluted common share. This compares to net income for the first quarter of 2025 of $1,908,000, or $0.12 per diluted common share. The following table details the Company’s financial performance for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

| | First Quarter 2026 | | First Quarter 2025 | | $ Change | | % Change | ||||

Jeffrey A. Stopko, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the first quarter 2026 financial results: “AmeriServ Financial achieved positive operating leverage in the first quarter of 2026 as our total revenue increased at a faster rate than our total non-interest expense. The increase in total revenue was caused by meaningful improvement in our net interest income because of effective balance sheet management. Specifically, our net interest margin increased by 25-basis points from the first quarter of 2025 leading to an $897,000 increase in net interest income, which is important since this category represents approximately 73% of our total revenue. Our Company is well positioned for organic growth in 2026 as we have strong liquidity and solid capital. We will continue to diligently focus on both revenue growth and expense control to further improve the Company’s operating efficiency in 2026.”
All first quarter financial performance metrics within this document are compared to the first quarter of 2025 unless otherwise noted.
Net interest income in the first quarter of 2026 increased by $897,000, or 9.0%, when compared to the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s net interest margin of 3.26% for the first quarter of 2026 represents a 25-basis point improvement from the first quarter of 2025. Along with the significantly improved net interest margin performance, the increase also reflects controlled balance sheet growth, as both total earning assets and total deposits are at higher average levels due to our effective balance sheet management and business development strategies. This, combined with effective pricing strategies, resulted in both the total earning asset yield and cost of interest-bearing funds improving between years. The Federal Reserve’s action to lower short-term interest rates during the final four months of 2025 favorably impacted total interest-bearing deposits and borrowings costs. Also, while the U.S. Treasury yield curve is relatively flat on the short end, yields in the mid to long end of the curve are higher and demonstrate a steeper upward slope which favorably impacted earning asset yields. Management believes the net interest margin will continue to improve as we move through 2026 given the effective execution of our strategy. Non-interest expense increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to last year’s first quarter while non-interest income decreased compared to the first quarter of 2025. The first quarter provision for credit losses in 2026 was at a normal level but compared unfavorably to a credit recognized for the provision in the first quarter of last year. Overall, the Company’s earnings performance for the first quarter of 2026 compares unfavorably to the first quarter of 2025 by $114,000, or 6.0%, as the improvement in net interest income was more than offset by higher total non-interest expense, the higher provision for credit losses and the lower level of non-interest income.
Total investment securities averaged $271.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, which was $24.9 million, or 10.1%, higher than the $246.7 million average for the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, overnight short-term investments were higher by $17.0 million in the first quarter of 2026. These increases reflect a higher level of loan prepayment activity as well as our liquidity position strengthening throughout 2025 and the first quarter of 2026 due to deposit growth. Therefore, more funds were available to invest in the securities portfolio during a time when security yields improved, making purchases more attractive. As a result, the securities portfolio grew by $31.6 million, or 13.7%, since March 31, 2025. New investment security purchases were also necessary to replace cash flow from maturing securities to maintain appropriate balances for pledging purposes related to public fund deposits. The higher balances and improved yields for new securities purchases caused interest income from investments to increase by $582,000, or 23.2%, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to last year’s first quarter.
Total average loans for the first quarter of 2026 declined from the first quarter of 2025 by $37.5 million, or 3.5%, due to increased loan payoff activity, particularly from the commercial real estate (CRE) portfolio, during the second half of 2025 and exceeded loan originations. Total loans continue to be above the $1.0 billion threshold, averaging $1.027 billion for the first quarter of 2026. Total loan interest income in the first quarter of 2026 declined compared to the first quarter of 2025 as the lower average loan balance more than offset the more favorable interest rate environment in 2026, and a portion of CRE loans, that were booked during the COVID pandemic when interest rates were low, repricing upward during the first quarter of 2026. Total loan interest income decreased by $102,000, or 0.7%, when compared to the first quarter of 2025. Overall, the first quarter of 2026 average balance of total interest earning assets increased from last year’s first quarter average by $11.7 million, or 0.9%, while total interest income increased by $480,000, or 2.8%, from the first quarter of 2025.
On the liability side of the balance sheet, total average deposits for the first quarter of 2026 were $24.5 million, or 2.0%, higher when compared to the first quarter average of 2025 due to the Company’s successful business development efforts. Additionally, the Company’s core deposit base continues to demonstrate the strength and stability that it has for many years due to customer loyalty and confidence in AmeriServ Financial Bank. The Company does not utilize brokered deposits as a funding source. The loan to deposit ratio averaged 82.7% in the first quarter of 2026, which indicates that the Company has ample capacity to continue to grow its loan portfolio and is well positioned to support our customers and our community during times of economic volatility.
Total interest expense decreased favorably by $417,000, or 5.9%, for the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the same time period of 2025. Deposit interest expense decreased by $205,000, or 3.3%, despite total average interest-bearing deposits growing by $39.2 million, or 3.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in deposit interest expense reflects management’s effective deposit pricing strategies along with the benefit of the Federal Reserve easing monetary policy during the final four months of 2025. This reduction in interest-bearing deposit costs contributed to the previously mentioned improvement in the net interest margin. Overall, total deposit cost (including the benefit of non-interest-bearing demand deposits) averaged 1.93% for the first quarter of 2026, which is an 11-basis point improvement from the first quarter of 2025.
Total borrowings interest expense decreased by $212,000, or 21.9%, for the first quarter of 2026. The Company’s utilization of overnight borrowed funds during the first quarter of 2026 was lower than it was for the first quarter of 2025, resulting in the first quarter average decreasing by $5.6 million, or 86.7%, due to the higher level of total average deposits. Also, management elected not to replace the majority of maturing Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) term advances during the full year of 2025 and did not replace any during the first quarter of 2026 because of the strength of the Company’s liquidity position. Therefore, the total average balance of advances from the FHLB during the first quarter of 2026 decreased by $12.2 million, or 22.2%, from last year’s first quarter. The decrease in borrowings interest expense also reflects the Federal Reserve’s 2025 action to ease monetary policy by 75-basis points which had an immediate and favorable impact on the cost of overnight borrowed funds.
The Company recorded a $217,000 provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026 after recording a $97,000 provision recovery in the first quarter of 2025, resulting in an unfavorable shift of $314,000. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter reflects a $284,000 provision for credit losses on loans resulting from updates to both historical loss rates and qualitative adjustments and an additional $27,000 of provision expense was recognized to create a partial reserve for a senior debt corporate investment within the securities portfolio. Both of these items were partially offset by a $94,000 provision recovery related to unfunded commitments because of a decline in outstanding loan commitments.
Non-performing assets were relatively stable since December 31, 2025, increasing by $204,000, or 2.4%, and totaling $8.7 million. The increase reflects the transfer of a $500,000 senior debt corporate security into non-accrual status that became impaired during the first quarter of 2026. The transfer of this security into non-accrual status more than offset a $296,000 reduction to non-performing loans since year end 2025. Non-performing loans represented 0.78% of total loans at March 31, 2026 and decreased by 2-basis points from December 31, 2025. The Company recognized net loan charge-offs of $206,000, or 0.08% of total average loans, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to net loan charge-offs of $64,000, or 0.02% of total average loans, in the first quarter of 2025. Overall, the Company’s allowance for loan credit losses provided 165% coverage of non-performing loans and represented 1.28% of total loans at March 31, 2026.
Total non-interest income in the first quarter of 2026 decreased by $154,000, or 3.7%, from the prior year's first quarter. Other income is lower by $110,000, or 15.9%, after a net gain was recognized from two separate sales in the first quarter of 2025 of a Bank branch office and an OREO property. There was no such sale activity in the first quarter of 2026. Also, contributing to the unfavorable comparison for total non-interest income was the Company recognizing a $63,000 loss on trading securities from a $7.2 million trading account that did not exist in the first quarter of 2025. Partially offsetting these unfavorable items were increases to service charges on deposit accounts by $27,000, or 9.8%, because of the deposit growth the Company experienced and a $22,000, or 78.6%, increase in mortgage banking revenue due to increased production in 2026. Finally, wealth management fees are relatively consistent with the level achieved in the first quarter of 2025. Overall, the fair market value of wealth management assets totaled $2.6 billion at March 31, 2026 and decreased by $68.0 million, or 2.5%, since December 31, 2025.
Total non-interest expense in the first quarter of 2026 increased by $595,000, or 5.1%, when compared to the first quarter of 2025. Professional fees increased by $480,000, or 70.1%, due to additional expenses related to the amended and restated consulting agreement with SB Value Partners that expands the nature and scope of the consulting services provided to the Company. Details of this revised agreement were provided in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed on January 7, 2026. Also contributing to the increase in professional fees were higher costs for recruitment and outside professional services. Other expenses were $108,000, or 9.5%, higher due to the bank having to recognize additional workout expenses related to a loan relationship secured by an owner-occupied CRE property. The additional costs related to this property were the sole reason for the unfavorable quarter over quarter comparison for other expenses. Slightly offsetting the higher level of expense was reduced FDIC deposit insurance expense by $30,000, or 12.5%.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $426,000 in the first quarter of 2026, or an effective tax rate of 19.2%, which compares to income tax expense of $478,000, or an effective tax rate of 20.0%, in the first quarter of 2025.
The Company had total assets of $1.47 billion, shareholders' equity of $120.7 million, a book value of $7.12 per common share and a tangible book value of $6.31(1) per common share on March 31, 2026. Book value per common share increased by $0.42, or 6.3%, and tangible book value per common share also increased by $0.43, or 7.3%, over the past 12 months. The Company and Bank continued to maintain strong capital ratios that exceed the regulatory defined well-capitalized status as of March 31, 2026.
QUARTERLY COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.03 per share quarterly common stock cash dividend. The cash dividend is payable May 18, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 4, 2026. This cash dividend represents a 3.0% annualized yield using the April 17, 2026 closing stock price of $3.94 and a 27.3% payout ratio based upon 2026 first quarter earnings.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
RETURN ON AVERAGE TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY, TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY RATIO, AND TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE PER SHARE
(Dollars in thousands, except share, per share, and ratio data)
(Unaudited)
The press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are "return on average tangible common equity", "tangible common equity ratio", and "tangible book value per share". This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in their analysis of the Company's performance or, management believes, facilitate an understanding of the Company's performance. We also believe that presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate comparison of our historical operating results and trends in our underlying operating results. We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends.
