Dividend Declared

On July 22, 2021, C&N’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per share. The dividend is payable on August 13, 2021 to shareholders of record as of August 2, 2021.

Unaudited Financial Information

Net income was $0.44 per diluted share in the second quarter 2021, down from $0.55 in the first quarter 2021 and up $0.05 (12.8%) from $0.39 in the second quarter 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net income per diluted share was $0.99, up from $0.70 per share for the first six months of 2020. As described below, earnings of $0.44 per share for the second quarter 2021 were 0.2% lower than second quarter 2020 non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) earnings per share of $0.45 as adjusted to exclude the impact of merger-related expenses.

The following table provides a reconciliation of C&N’s unaudited earnings results under U.S. GAAP to comparative non-U.S. GAAP results excluding merger-related expenses.

In addition to other factors, the second quarter 2021 net interest margin was impacted by: (1) an increase in the average balance of lower-yielding interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other banks of $90.0 million, to $182.6 million or 8.5% of average interest-earning assets, from 4.5% in the prior quarter; (2) a reduction in average loans to 74.5% of average earning assets as compared to 79.1% in the prior quarter; (3) a reduction in interest and fees on PPP loans, as an annualized percentage of average earning assets, to 0.23% in the second quarter 2021 from 0.39% in the prior quarter; and (4) a reduction in net interest income from purchase accounting adjustments to 0.13% of average earning assets in the second quarter 2021 from 0.19% in the prior quarter.

Ø Salaries and employee benefits of $9,499,000 increased $604,000 from the first quarter 2021 total, including increases in lending and information technology personnel, severance and estimated incentive compensation expense, partially offset by a cyclical reduction in payroll taxes and other benefit expenses.

These loans are not reported as past due or troubled debt restructurings during the deferral period. At June 30, 2021, there were 12 loans, with an aggregate recorded investment of approximately $6.7 million, in deferral status under the program. In comparison, at March 31, 2021, C&N had 25 loans with an aggregate recorded investment of $26.0 million in deferral status. Within these totals, loans in deferral status to commercial borrowers in the hotel industry totaled $3.1 million at June 30, 2021 and $19.5 million at March 31, 2021.

Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 1.12% at June 30, 2021, as compared to 1.07% at March 31, 2021 and down from 1.33% at June 30, 2020. Total nonperforming assets were $26.2 million at June 30, 2021, up from $24.9 million at March 31, 2021 and $23.2 million at June 30, 2020.

The allowance for loan losses was $12.4 million at June 30, 2021, or 0.77% of total loans as compared to $11.7 million or 0.72% of total loans at March 31, 2021. In 2020 and 2019, C&N recorded performing loans purchased from other financial institutions at fair value.  The calculations of fair value included discounts for credit losses, reflecting an estimate of the present value of credit losses based on market expectations. The total allowance for loan losses and the credit adjustment on purchased non-impaired loans at June 30, 2021 was $16.9 million, or 1.05% of total loans receivable and the credit adjustment. The comparative ratios were 1.04% at March 31, 2021 and 0.96% at June 30, 2020.

Deposits totaled $1,916,809,000 at June 30, 2021, down from $1,923,925,000 at March 31, 2021, and up 38.8% from $1,381,178,000 at June 30, 2020.

Total stockholders’ equity was $304,133,000 at June 30, 2021, up from $300,056,000 at March 31, 2021 and $255,791,000 at June 30, 2020. The increase in stockholders’ equity from June 30, 2020 included the impact of common stock issued in July 2020 related to the Covenant acquisition. Within stockholders’ equity, the portion of accumulated other comprehensive income related to available-for-sale debt securities was $9,167,000 at June 30, 2021, up from $6,847,000 at March 31, 2021 and down from $11,472,000 at June 30, 2020. Fluctuations in accumulated other comprehensive income related to valuations of available-for-sale debt securities have been caused by changes in interest rates.

In February 2021, C&N amended its existing treasury stock repurchase program. Under the amended program, C&N is authorized to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, or 6.25% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding shares at February 18, 2021. In the second quarter 2021, 61,696 shares were repurchased for a total cost of $1,531,000, at an average price of $24.81 per share. There were no repurchases of stock under the amended program in the first quarter 2021.

In May 2021, C&N completed a private placement of $25 million of 3.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Debt due 2031 and $15 million of 2.75% Fixed Rate Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026. The Subordinated Debt is intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital. In June 2021, a portion of the proceeds was used to redeem subordinated debt with par values totaling $8 million. The remaining proceeds are available for general corporate purposes.

Citizens & Northern Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements. At June 30, 2021, Citizens & Northern Bank maintains regulatory capital ratios that exceed all capital adequacy requirements. Management expects the Bank to remain well-capitalized for the foreseeable future.

Trust assets under management by C&N’s Wealth Management Group amounted to $1,192,928,000 at June 30, 2021, up 4.4% from $1,142,573,000 at March 31, 2021 and 21.1% from $984,853,000 at June 30, 2020. Fluctuations in values of assets under management reflect the impact of high recent market volatility.

Citizens & Northern Corporation is the bank holding company for Citizens & Northern Bank, headquartered in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania which operates 29 banking offices located in Bradford, Bucks, Cameron, Chester, Lycoming, McKean, Potter, Sullivan and Tioga Counties in Pennsylvania and Steuben County in New York, as well as loan production offices in Elmira, New York and York, Pennsylvania.

June 30, 2021 QUARTERLY REPORT

Dear Shareholder:

The second quarter of 2021 was somewhat of a turning point in the fight against COVID-19 as vaccination efforts reached critical mass, restaurants and entertainment venues reopened, and employers have thoughtfully welcomed workers back to the office. Consistent with this transition, new funding under the last stage of the PPP program ended and efforts to secure forgiveness became the focus for customers and their lenders. As the broader economy has gained momentum, supply chain and workforce challenges have created stress and an increase in near-term inflation. Monetary policy is unchanged in the short-term and interest rates remain at historically low levels despite the uptick in inflation. The debate in Congress over additional federal spending on infrastructure and other stimulus was unresolved and equity markets remained strong based on the broad averages.

Business at C&N is consistent with this environment and customer demand as mortgage originations remained strong, commercial loan volumes picked-up later in the quarter, deposit balances continued to increase, and we experienced solid growth in our wealth management business. Our results reflect improved consumer and business confidence in the future and are supported by low interest rates and ample liquidity in the system.

Earnings for the second quarter 2021 were $7.06 million, or $.44 per share compared to $5.44 million, or $.39 per share during the second quarter of 2020. After adjusting for merger related expenses, net income for the second quarter of 2020 was $6.22 million, or $.45 per share. The Covenant acquisition continues to impact C&N’s profile and performance metrics when compared to last year. Net interest income for the second quarter of $18.68 million was $4.44 million higher than 2020 due to the increase in loans outstanding and deposit balances. The net interest margin was 3.52% for the quarter compared to 3.65% a year earlier. The ongoing low interest rate environment, and an increase in the average balance of lower-yielding deposits with the Federal Reserve and other banks, contributed to this decline.

The provision for loan losses was $744,000 in the second quarter compared to a credit of $176,000 in the second quarter of 2020. Each of these quarters includes adjustments related to specific reserves on one or two loans, as well as an allowance to provide for growth in the overall portfolio. C&N’s credit metrics have remained stable throughout the pandemic as reflected in past due, non-performing loans, and troubled debt restructuring (TDR) balances. As of June 30, 2021, twelve loans with balances of $6.7 million remain in deferral status to support clients impacted by COVID-19.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2021 was $6.3 million, an increase of $772,000 from the second quarter 2020 total. This growth came from a variety of sources including loan servicing fees, interchange revenue, service charges on deposit accounts, and trust and brokerage revenue. Net gains from the sale of loans of $925,000 were down $639,000 from the prior year as the volume of mortgages sold declined.

Noninterest expenses, excluding merger related costs, of $15.4 million increased $3.13 million during the second quarter 2021 compared to a year earlier. Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and data processing and telecommunications costs related to the Covenant acquisition were the primary drivers of this increase.

Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $15.85 million, or $.99 per share, compared to $9.6 million, or $.70 per share in 2020. Excluding merger related expenses for the first half of 2020, net income would be $10.5 million, or $.76 per share. Most of the same themes are evident in assessing performance for the first half of this year compared to 2020 including the growth in net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expenses. The provision for loan losses of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $.35 million lower than the comparable amount for the first six months of 2020 as charges related to specific loans were lower in the current year.

The results described above highlight C&N’s underlying strength and ability to deliver through an incredibly unique period in our history. Our balance sheet, credit profile, and diverse revenue streams have all contributed to this performance. A key ongoing strength is our capital position, which exceeds our internal guidelines and all regulatory requirements to be considered well capitalized. This strength provides the ability to continue investing for future growth and earnings capacity as we work to create long term value for our shareholders. We bolstered this position during the second quarter by completing a private placement of $25 million of subordinated notes and $15 million of senior notes at very attractive interest rates. A portion of the proceeds were used to redeem $8 million of subordinated notes and the remaining amount is available for general corporate purposes.

As announced in March, C&N amended its existing stock repurchase program to authorize the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares, or 6.25% of the issued and outstanding shares as of February 18, 2021. In the second quarter of 2021, 61,696 shares were repurchased at a total cost of $1,531,000, or an average price of $24.81 per share.

In July, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.28 per share payable to shareholders of record on August 2, 2021, payable August 13, 2021. On an annualized basis, the dividend yield is 4.49% based on the June 30, 2021 market price of $24.50. We believe that the combination of the private placement, repurchase program, and sustainable cash dividend support our efforts to create long-term value for shareholders through effective capital management.

During the second quarter, we welcomed two new members to C&N’s Board of Directors. Helen Santiago was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Len Simpson upon his retirement in April. Helen is a CPA with LaBarr & LaBarr in Sayre, PA and is a well-respected local professional with a strong accounting and tax background. In June, the Board appointed Kate Shattuck to the Board. Kate, who now lives in Towanda, PA, is a Senior partner at Korn Ferry, a global talent management and executive search firm where she specializes in the financial markets sector. We look forward to engaging with these two talented professionals and benefitting from their guidance and counsel in the years ahead.

Finally, on a sad note, we mourn the loss of Len Simpson who was a great friend of C&N and a Director since 1989. Len passed away on June 14th. His energy, good humor and relentless involvement in the community will be missed by all. Our condolences go out to his wife, Robin, and the entire Simpson family.

(a)Tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets are non-U.S. GAAP ratios.  Management believes this non-GAAP information is helpful in evaluating the strength of the Corporation's capital and in providing an alternative, conservative valuation of the Corporation's net worth.  The ratios shown above are based on the following calculations of tangible assets and tangible common equity:

Total Assets $ 2,339,063 $ 1,745,466
Less: Intangible Assets, Primarily Goodwill (56,088) (29,511)
Tangible Assets $ 2,282,975 $ 1,715,955
Total Stockholders' Equity $ 304,133 $ 255,791
Less: Intangible Assets, Primarily Goodwill (56,088) (29,511)
Tangible Common Equity (3) $ 248,045 $ 226,280
Common Shares Outstanding, End of Period (4) 15,957,512 13,807,157
Tangible Common Book Value per Share = (3)/(4) $ 15.54 $ 16.39

(b)Capital ratios for the most recent period are estimated.

(c)The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP ratio that is calculated as shown above.  For purposes of calculating the efficiency ratio, net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis includes amounts of interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans that have been increased to a fully taxable-equivalent basis, using the Corporation's marginal federal income tax rate of 21%. In the calculation above, management excluded merger-related expenses.
