Highlights related to C&N’s first quarter unaudited U.S. GAAP earnings results as compared to results for the fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2023 are presented below.

First Quarter 2024 as Compared to Fourth Quarter 2023

Net income was $5,306,000, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2024 as compared to $4,261,000, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2023. The results for the fourth quarter 2023 included the impact of a $1,253,000 charge, or $0.08 per diluted share, related to the repositioning of available-for-sale securities and BOLI investments. Other significant variances were as follows:

Net interest income of $19,041,000 in the first quarter 2024 was down $553,000 from the fourth quarter 2023 total reflecting an increase in interest expense of $653,000 and an increase of $100,000 in interest and dividend income. The net interest margin was 3.29% in the first quarter 2024, down 0.02% from 3.31% in the fourth quarter 2023. The net interest spread decreased 0.03%, as the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased 0.15%, while the average yield on earning assets increased 0.12%.

Noninterest income of $6,675,000 in the first quarter 2024 decreased $2,045,000 as included in the fourth quarter 2023 was a one-time BOLI enhancement fee of $2,100,000 related to the repositioning of BOLI investments.

Net losses on available-for-sale debt securities were $3,042,000 for the fourth quarter 2023 with no comparable amount in first quarter 2024. C&N sold available-for-sale debt securities with an amortized cost basis of $45.5 million in December 2023 in connection with a repositioning of available-for-sale securities and BOLI investments.

Noninterest expense of $18,304,000 in the first quarter 2024 decreased $95,000 from the fourth quarter 2023 amount. Significant variances included the following:

Ø Other noninterest expense of $1,862,000 decreased $928,000 from the fourth quarter 2023. Within this category, significant variances included the following:
In the first quarter 2024, there was a reduction in expense of $483,000 related to the defined benefit postretirement medical benefit plan, including a curtailment of $469,000 related to plan adjustments. In comparison, in the fourth quarter 2023, there was a reduction in expense associated with the postretirement plan of $5,000.
--- ---
In the fourth quarter 2023, there was an accrued charge of $427,000 related to a trust department tax compliance matter with no comparable amount in first quarter 2024.
--- ---
Ø Salaries and employee benefits expense of $11,562,000 increased $449,000 from the fourth quarter 2023. Incentive compensation expense increased $226,000 as the fourth quarter 2023 amount had been reduced based on an updated assessment of C&N’s earnings performance to that of a defined peer group. Payroll tax expenses increased, reflecting the normal pattern of such costs being highest in the beginning of the calendar year.
--- ---

The income tax provision of $1,152,000, or 17.8% of pre-tax income for the first quarter 2024 decreased $509,000 from $1,661,000, or 28.0% of pre-tax income for the fourth quarter 2023. The higher effective tax rate in the fourth quarter 2023 reflects the impact of a tax charge of $950,000 for the initiated surrender of BOLI partially offset by non-taxable income of $2,100,000 from the one-time enhancement on the purchase of new BOLI.

First Quarter 2024 as Compared to First Quarter 2023

First quarter 2024 net income was $5,306,000, or $0.35 per diluted share, as compared to $6,253,000, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2023. Significant variances were as follows:

Net interest income of $19,041,000 in the first quarter 2024 was $1,740,000 lower than the first quarter 2023 total reflecting an increase in interest expense of $5,937,000 and an increase of $4,197,000 in interest and dividend income. The interest rate spread decreased 0.68%, as the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased 1.24%, while the average yield on earning assets increased 0.56%. The net interest margin was 3.29% in the first quarter 2024, down from 3.71% in the first quarter 2023.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, there was a provision for credit losses of $954,000, an increase of $1,306,000 in expense compared to a credit for credit losses (reduction in expense) of $352,000 in the first quarter 2023. The provision for the first quarter 2024 included expense related to loans receivable of $960,000 and a credit related to off-balance sheet exposures of $6,000. In the first quarter 2024, the provision related to loans receivable resulted from an increase in qualitative factors and specific allowances on individually evaluated commercial loans, partially offset by reductions in C&N’s average net charge-off experience and the impact of an economic forecast used in the calculation of the ACL. The credit for credit losses in the first quarter 2023 resulted mainly from a reduction in the allowance related to the commercial segment of the portfolio. The ACL as a percentage of gross loans receivable was 1.07% at March 31, 2024 as compared to 1.05% at March 31, 2023.

Noninterest income of $6,675,000 in the first quarter 2024 increased $1,066,000 from the first quarter 2023 amount. Significant variances included the following:

Ø Earnings from the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance of $470,000 increased $332,000 from the first quarter 2023 reflecting the earnings on the additional $30 million in Bank-Owned Life Insurance purchased in December 2023.

Ø Other noninterest income of $1,017,000 increased $246,000, including an increase of $182,000 in dividends from FHLB-Pittsburgh and Federal Reserve stock.

Ø Trust revenue of $1,897,000 increased $120,000, consistent with recent appreciation in the trading prices of many U.S. equity securities and includes revenue from new business.

Ø Net gains from sale of loans of $191,000 increased $117,000 from the first quarter 2023, reflecting an increase in volume of residential mortgage loans sold.

Ø Brokerage and insurance revenue of $539,000 increased $109,000 due to an increase in sales volume.

Ø Loan servicing fees, net, of $230,000 increased $108,000, as the fair value of servicing rights increased $25,000 in 2024 as compared to a decrease of $83,000 in 2023.

Noninterest expense of $18,304,000 in the first quarter 2024 decreased $783,000 from the first quarter 2023 amount. Significant variances included the following:

The unrealized decrease in fair value of the portfolio has resulted from an increase in interest rates as compared to rates when the securities were purchased. Management reviewed the available-for-sale debt securities as of March 31, 2024 and concluded, as of such date, that there were no credit-related declines in fair value and that the unrealized losses on all of the securities in an unrealized loss position are considered temporary.

Deposits totaled $1,995,903,000 at March 31, 2024, down $18,903,000 (0.9%) from $2,014,806,000 at December 31, 2023. Total deposits, excluding brokered deposits, were down $23,925,000 (1.2%) at March 31, 2024 from December 31, 2023. Total deposits were up $79,863,000 (4.2%) at March 31, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2023, including an increase in brokered deposits of $54,274,000. At March 31, 2024, C&N’s estimated uninsured deposits totaled $568.1 million, or 28.2% of the Bank’s total deposits, as compared to $592.2 million, or 29.2% of the Bank’s total deposits at December 31, 2023. Included in uninsured deposits are deposits collateralized by securities (almost exclusively municipal deposits) totaling $140.1 million, or 7.0% of the Bank’s total deposits, at March 31, 2024.

C&N maintained highly liquid sources of available funds totaling $1.1 billion at March 31, 2024, including unused borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh of $712.9 million, unused availability on the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s discount window of $19.1 million, available federal funds lines with other banks of $75 million and available-for-sale debt securities with a fair value in excess of collateral obligations of $259.5 million. At March 31, 2024, available funding from these sources totaled 187.7% of uninsured deposits, and 249.2% of uninsured and uncollateralized deposits.

The outstanding balance of borrowed funds, including Federal Home Loan Bank advances, repurchase agreements, senior notes and subordinated debt, totaled $237,248,000 at March 31, 2024, up $25,489,000 from December 31, 2023 and $5,736,000 from March 31, 2023.

Total stockholders’ equity was $261,656,000 at March 31, 2024, down from $262,381,000 at December 31, 2023 and up from $255,568,000 at March 31, 2023. Within stockholders’ equity, the portion of accumulated other comprehensive loss related to available-for-sale debt securities was $41,071,000 at March 31, 2024, $38,878,000 at December 31, 2023 and $43,271,000 at March 31, 2023. The volatility in stockholders’ equity related to accumulated other comprehensive loss from available-for-sale debt securities has been caused by fluctuations in interest rates including overall increases in rates as compared to market rates when most of C&N’s securities were purchased. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is excluded from C&N’s regulatory capital ratios.

On September 25, 2023, the Corporation announced a new treasury stock repurchase program. Under this program, C&N is authorized to repurchase up to 750,000 shares of its common stock. No shares have been repurchased under this program through March 31, 2024.

Citizens & Northern Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements. At March 31, 2024, 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 $1,224,573,000 at March 31, 2024, up 3.1% from $1,188,082,000 at December 31, 2023, and up 8.6% from $1,127,439,000 at March 31, 2023. Fluctuations in values of assets under management reflect the impact of market volatility.

Under U.S. GAAP, interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans are reported at their nominal amounts, with the tax benefit accounted for as a reduction in the income tax provision. C&N presents certain analyses and ratios with net interest income determined on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures as presented. C&N believes presentation of net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis provides investors with meaningful information for purposes of comparing the returns on tax-exempt securities and loans with returns on taxable securities and loans. The excess of net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis over the amounts reported under U.S. GAAP was $195,000, $199,000 and $269,000 for the first quarter 2024, fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2023, respectively. The excess of net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis over the amounts reported under U.S. GAAP was $919,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023, and $1,226,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

(a) PPNR includes net interest income plus noninterest income minus total noninterest expense but excludes provision (credit) for credit losses, realized gains or losses on securities, the income tax provision and nonrecurring items included in earnings. Management believes disclosure of PPNR provides useful information for evaluating C&N’s financial performance without the impact of unusual items or events that may obscure trends in C&N’s underlying performance. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure is provided in Exhibit 99.2 under the table “PPNR- NON- GAAP RECONCILIATION.”
--- ---

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

Total Assets $ 2,521,537 $ 2,429,872
Less: Intangible Assets, Primarily Goodwill (54,877) (55,280)
Tangible Assets $ 2,466,660 $ 2,374,592
Total Stockholders' Equity $ 261,656 $ 255,568
Less: Intangible Assets, Primarily Goodwill (54,877) (55,280)
Tangible Common Equity (3) $ 206,779 $ 200,288
Common Shares Outstanding, End of Period (4) 15,378,065 15,485,035
Tangible Common Book Value per Share = (3)/(4) $ 13.45 $ 12.93

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

(d)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 C&N's marginal federal income tax rate of 21%. A reconciliation of net interest income under U.S. GAAP as compared to net interest income as adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent basis is provided in Exhibit 99.2 under the table “COMPARISON OF INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE.”
