Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations”, giving effect to the merger of FNCB Bancorp, Inc. (“FNCB”) with and into Peoples Financial Services Corp. (“Peoples”), with Peoples as the surviving corporation. Under this method, FNCB assets and liabilities as of the date of the acquisition will be recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of Peoples. Any difference between the purchase price for FNCB and the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired (including core deposit intangibles) will be recorded as goodwill. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition will not be amortized to expense, but instead will be reviewed for impairment at least annually. Any core deposit intangible and other intangible assets with estimated useful lives to be recorded by Peoples in connection with the acquisition will be amortized to expense over such intangible asset’s estimated useful life. The financial statements of Peoples issued after the acquisition will reflect the results attributable to the acquired operations of FNCB beginning on the date of completion of the acquisition. The merger was consummated on July 1, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and accompanying notes are based on and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Peoples included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on May 8, 2024, and the historical consolidated financial statements of FNCB included in FNCB’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative information purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the actual results that would have been achieved had the merger been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Information, which requires the depiction of the accounting for the transaction, which we refer to as transaction accounting adjustments. Regulation S-X also allows for management adjustments that could include presentation of the reasonably estimable cost savings and revenue enhancements and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur. Peoples has elected to present certain management adjustments which include a $241.5 million balance sheet restructuring by selling $241.5 million of investment securities available for sale and paying down $106.8 million of FHLB short term borrowings with the remaining cash balance being invested in federal funds sold. Please note the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include management adjustments for any potential effects of changes in market conditions, revenue enhancements or expense efficiencies, among other factors.

The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, combines the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Peoples as of March 31, 2024, with the unaudited statement of financial condition of FNCB as of March 31, 2024, giving effect to the transaction as if it had been consummated March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, combines the unaudited consolidated statements of income of Peoples for the three months ended March 31, 2024 with the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of FNCB for the three months ended March 31, 2024, giving effect to the transaction as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, combines the audited consolidated statements of income of Peoples for the year ended December 31, 2023, with the audited consolidated statements of income of FNCB for the year ended December 31, 2023 (included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K), giving effect to the transaction as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2023. Certain reclassification adjustments have been made to FNCB’s financial statements to conform to Peoples’ financial statement presentation.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared with Peoples as the accounting acquirer and FNCB as the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the consideration paid by Peoples to complete the acquisition of FNCB will be allocated to FNCB’s assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of completion of the acquisition. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have not been finalized at this time; however, preliminary significant valuations based on the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities have been estimated and included in the unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements.

The fair value adjustments made to the acquired assets and liabilities are considered preliminary at this time and are subject to change as Peoples finalizes its fair value determinations. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact Peoples’ consolidated statements of income due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities. Any changes to FNCB shareholders’ equity, including results of operations from March 31, 2024, through the closing date will also change the purchase price allocation, which may include the recording of a lower or higher amount of goodwill. The final adjustments may be materially different from the transaction accounting adjustments presented herein. The total estimated purchase price for the purpose of this pro forma financial information is $133.7 million utilizing FNCB common shares settled on the closing date as of July 1, 2024, and Peoples’ closing common stock price of $45.54 as of June 28, 2024, for fair value of purchase price consideration which was closing price on the last trading date prior to the merger closing date on July 1, 2024.

The pro forma statements of income and per share data information do not include anticipated cost savings or revenue enhancements, nor does it include one-time merger-related expenses which will be expensed against income. FNCB and Peoples are currently in the process of assessing the two companies’ personnel, benefits plans, premises, equipment, computer systems and service contracts to determine where the companies may take advantage of redundancies or where it will be beneficial or necessary to convert to one system. Certain decisions arising from these assessments may involve canceling contracts between either FNCB or Peoples and certain service providers. There is no assurance that the anticipated cost savings will be realized on the anticipated time schedule or at all.

The pro forma combined basic and diluted earnings per share of Peoples common stock is based on the pro forma combined net income per common share for FNCB and Peoples divided by the pro forma basic or diluted common shares of the combined entities for the periods presented on such statements of income. The pro forma information includes adjustments related to the fair value of assets and liabilities of FNCB and is subject to adjustment as additional information becomes available and as final merger date analyses are performed. The pro forma combined balance sheet and book value per share data includes the impact of merger related expenses on the balance sheet with FNCB’s after-tax charges currently estimated at $1.9 million, illustrated as an adjustment to accrued other liabilities, and Peoples’ after-tax estimated charges of $10.7 million, illustrated as an adjustment to retained earnings and to accrued other liabilities. The pro forma combined book value per share of Peoples common stock is based on the pro forma combined common stockholders’ equity of FNCB and Peoples divided by total pro forma common shares of the combined entities.

The unaudited pro forma data are qualifiedby the statements set forth under this caption and should not be considered indicative of the market value of Peoples common stock orthe actual or future results of operations of Peoples for any period. Actual results may be materially different than the pro forma informationpresented.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS

TRANSACTION ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS:

(1) On<br> July 1, 2024, the merger closing date, each share of common stock of FNCB was converted<br> into 0.1460 shares of Peoples common stock, subject to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional<br> shares of Peoples common stock. The parties intend for the merger<br> to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of<br> the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The total estimated purchase price for the purpose of this pro forma financial information is $133.7 million utilizing FNCB common shares settled on the closing date as of July 1, 2024, and Peoples’ closing common stock price of $45.54 as of June 28, 2024, for fair value of purchase price consideration which was the closing price on the last trading date prior to the merger closing date of July 1, 2024. The adjustment for shares outstanding, basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding is an amount to adjust the shares to equal the new shares issued for the transaction

The following is a summary of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulting in goodwill. Goodwill is created when the purchase price consideration exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired. For purposes of this analysis as of March 31, 2024, goodwill of $15.1 million results from the transaction; however, the final purchase accounting analysis will be performed as of the merger date and amounts therein are subject to change based on operations subsequent to March 31, 2024, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.
