SHIPPENSBURG, Pa., Jan. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. ("Orrstown" or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ORRF), the parent company of Orrstown Bank (the “Bank”), announced earnings for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023. Net income totaled $7.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $9.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Diluted earnings per share totaled $0.73 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $0.87 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $0.91 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. For the fourth quarter of 2023, excluding the impact from the merger-related expenses, net income and diluted earnings per share were $8.6 million(1) and $0.83(1), respectively.
Net income totaled $35.7 million and $22.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Diluted earnings per share totaled $3.42 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to diluted earnings per share of $2.06 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Excluding the impact from the merger-related expenses, net income and diluted earnings per share were $36.6 million(1) and $3.51(1) for the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, net income and diluted earnings per share were $34.8 million(1) and $3.25(1), respectively, excluding the restructuring charge and legal settlement.
"Orrstown’s strong fourth quarter reflects the team’s tremendous efforts for the past several years, which led us to the Company’s strongest earnings on record in 2023. We believe that our relationship banking model and hands-on approach enabled us to have a successful year while navigating through the many headwinds facing the industry in 2023. Loan production and deposit gathering continue to be steady, which has helped us maintain a healthy net interest margin and limit margin compression. While enhancing fee income continues to be challenging, our wealth management group has successfully grown income throughout the year. Our capital ratios continue to improve through earnings generation, which puts us in a good position for the next exciting phase in Orrstown’s growth cycle. We look forward to taking the momentum we have built and joining, in the near future, our successful partner in Codorus Valley Bancorp to create an even stronger institution," commented Thomas R. Quinn, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.
DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
Balance Sheet
Loans
Loans held for investment increased by $31.5 million from September 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023, or 6% annualized. Commercial loans increased by $16.6 million, or 4% annualized, from September 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The residential mortgage portfolio increased by $15.5 million, or 14% annualized, in the three months ended December 31, 2023 as there has been increased production of adjustable-rate mortgages, which have been retained in portfolio. Since December 31, 2022, loans held for investment increased by $147.1 million, or 7%, to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2023. During 2023, commercial loans increased by $110.2 million, or 6% and residential mortgages increased by $39.2, or 9%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.3 million, or 19%, in installment and other consumer loans.
Investment Securities
Investment securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale, increased by $18.3 million to $513.5 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $495.2 million at September 30, 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2023, net unrealized losses on investment securities declined by $22.5 million, net purchases totaled $4.0 million and paydowns were $7.5 million. The improvement in net unrealized losses was primarily due to lower market interest rates. Net unrealized losses on investment securities totaled $35.6 million and $49.6 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The overall duration of the Company's investment securities portfolio is 4.3 years at December 31, 2023. See Appendix B for a summary of the Bank's investment securities at December 31, 2023, highlighting their concentrations, credit ratings and credit enhancement levels.
Deposits
During the fourth quarter of 2023, deposits increased by $12.4 million, totaling approximately $2.6 billion at December 31, 2023 compared to $2.5 billion at September 30, 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2023, money market deposits increased by $33.4 million, or 26% annualized and time deposits rose by $29.2 million, or 31% annualized. These increases were partially offset by decreases in interest-bearing demand deposits of $36.5 million, or 14% annualized, savings deposits of $9.2 million, or 5% annualized, and non-interest bearing deposits of $4.5 million, or 4% annualized. The increase in time deposits was attributable to promotional offerings of up to 18-month terms. The declines in the noninterest-bearing deposits, interest bearing demand deposits and savings deposits were primarily due to clients shifting to higher-yielding products within the Bank. At December 31, 2023, deposits that are uninsured and not collateralized totaled $442.7 million, or 17%, of total deposits compared to $387.5 million, or 15%, of total deposits at September 30, 2023. The Bank's loan-to-deposit ratio was 90% at December 31, 2023 compared to 89% at September 30, 2023.
Borrowings
The Bank actively manages its liquidity position through its various sources of funding to meet the needs of its clients. FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by $27.9 million to $147.3 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $175.2 million at September 30, 2023. The Bank repaid some overnight borrowings and FHLB advances during the fourth quarter of 2023 based on available liquidity from deposits and paydowns on investment securities. The Bank seeks to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure client needs can be addressed on a timely basis. The Bank had available alternative funding sources, such as the FHLB advances and other wholesale options, of approximately $1.0 billion at December 31, 2023.
Income Statement
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income was $26.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $26.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, declined to 3.71% in the fourth quarter of 2023 from 3.73% in the third quarter of 2023. While the net interest margin decreased only slightly, funding costs increased due to the rise in money market deposits and time deposit balances.
Interest income on loans increased by $1.2 million to $34.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $32.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Loan growth and a full quarter impact from the third quarter 2023 fed funds rate increase were the primary drivers of this increase. Interest income on loans for the three months ended December 31, 2023 included prepayment fee income of $0.2 million, a decrease of $0.2 million from the three months ended September 30, 2023, which resulted in a decrease of two basis points in net interest margin.
Interest income on investment securities was $5.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. The additional investment income was driven by increasing yields on adjustable-rate securities from the prior quarter fed funds rate increase.
Interest expense increased by $1.5 million to $14.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due primarily to higher average deposit balances and an increase in deposit rates. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $24.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023.
Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses increased by $0.4 million to $28.7 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $28.3 million at September 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses was impacted primarily by loan growth of $31.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 as well as slight downward revisions to economic assumptions utilized in the model. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.25% at both December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023. Net recoveries were an inconsequential amount for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to net charge-offs of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Special mention loans decreased by $7.6 million from $31.8 million at September 30, 2023 to $24.2 million at December 31, 2023 due to net downgrades to classified status of $5.9 million and repayments of $1.1 million. Classified loans increased by $21.4 million to $55.0 million at December 31, 2023 from $33.6 million at September 30, 2023. The increase in classified loans was primarily due to downgrades to five commercial loans, spread within commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan segments, totaling $23.0 million. The increase in classified loans was partially offset by repayments within this category totaling $2.3 million. Non-accrual loans increased by $3.2 million to $25.5 million at December 31, 2023 from $22.3 million at September 30, 2023 primarily due to five loans to one client within the residential real estate segments. Management believes the allowance for credit losses to be adequate based on current asset quality metrics and economic conditions.
Management regularly analyzes the commercial real estate portfolio, which includes the review of occupancy, cash flows, expenses and expiring leases, as well as the location of the real estate. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $236.4 million in loans related to office space, which had a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 56% and a weighted average debt coverage ratio of 1.77x, compared to $244.7 million at September 30, 2023. Management believes that the office space portfolio is well-diversified and includes only limited exposure to properties located in major metro markets (approximately 2% of the total commercial real estate loan balance as of December 31, 2023).
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased by $0.6 million to $6.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $5.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recorded swap fee income of $0.6 million compared to $0.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Swap fee income fluctuates based on market conditions and client demand.
Mortgage banking income increased by $0.3 million from a loss of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 to income of $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the fair value mark of the Bank's held-for-sale loans declined by $0.3 million to a decrease of $0.1 million compared to a decrease of $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Market conditions and elevated interest rates continued to hinder mortgage production during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses increased by $2.0 million to $22.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 from $20.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company announced it has entered into an agreement to merge with Codorus Valley. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, merger-related expenses totaled $1.1 million inclusive of due diligence costs, legal expenses and a fairness opinion. The Company expects to incur additional merger-related expenses due to the pending completion of this merger of equals.
Salaries and benefits expense was $12.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributed to a decline of $0.1 million in employee benefit costs.
Advertising and bank promotions expense increased by $0.2 million to $0.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to $0.3 million in contributions to tax credit programs during the fourth quarter of 2023. Taxes other than income decreased by $0.2 million to $0.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease reflects the tax credits recognized on the contributions during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Professional services expense decreased by $0.3 million to $0.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 from $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 due primarily to a reduction in consulting costs as certain technology improvements and compliance enhancements were completed.
Other operating expenses increased by $1.1 million to $2.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $1.5 million during the third quarter of 2023. This increase included an increase of $0.8 million in credit value adjustments on derivatives for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The remaining fluctuation is attributable to normal business operations.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 21.2% compared to 21.9% for the third quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate was 20.8% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 17.2% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The nondeductible merger-related costs increased the effective tax rate by 0.3% for the year ended December 31, 2023. Similarly, the nondeductible merger-related costs increased the effective tax rate by 1.4% for the fourth quarter of 2023.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2023 is greater than the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to an increase in state taxes in addition to the disallowed portion of interest expense against earnings in association with the Bank's tax-exempt investments under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, partially offset by tax-exempt income, including interest earned on tax-exempt loans and securities and income from life insurance policies and tax credits. The lower effective tax rate in 2022 was partially caused by the impact of the restructuring charge for branch closures and other expense savings initiatives and a provision for legal settlement. The Company regularly analyzes its projected taxable income and makes adjustments to the provision for income taxes accordingly.
Capital
Shareholders’ equity totaled $265.1 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $22.0 million from $243.1 million at September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to other comprehensive income of $15.9 million and net income of $7.6 million partially offset by dividends paid of $2.1 million. Other comprehensive income generated during the fourth quarter of 2023 was due to after-tax net unrealized gains on investment securities of $17.5 million partially offset by net unrealized losses on cash flow hedges of $1.6 million.
Tangible book value per share(1) increased to $23.03 per share at December 31, 2023 from $20.94 per share at September 30, 2023 and $19.47 per share at December 31, 2022 due to the increase in shareholders' equity.
The Company's tangible common equity ratio increased to 8.0% at December 31, 2023 from 7.3% at September 30, 2023 and 7.1% at December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in tangible equity from an improvement in net unrealized losses on investment securities as well as earnings. The Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 13.0% at both December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023. The Company's Tier 1 leverage ratio increased from 8.7% at September 30, 2023 to 8.9% at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2023, all four capital ratios applicable to the Company were above regulatory minimum levels to be deemed “well capitalized” under current bank regulatory guidelines. The Company continues to believe that capital is adequate to support the risks inherent in the balance sheet, as well as growth requirements.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of the Company's management with respect to, among other things, future events and the Company's financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “goal,” “target,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative variations of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates, predictions or projections about events or the Company's industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, the Company cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and there can be no assurances that the Company will achieve the desired level of new business development and new loans, growth in the balance sheet and fee-based revenue lines of business, successful merger and acquisition activity, cost savings initiatives and continued reductions in risk assets or mitigation of losses in the future. Factors which could cause the actual results of the Company's operations to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: ineffectiveness of the Company's strategic growth plan due to changes in current or future market conditions; the effects of competition and how it may impact our community banking model, including industry consolidation and development of competing financial products and services; the inability to complete mergers and acquisitions in a timely manner or at all, or to successfully integrate strategic mergers or acquisitions; the impact of certain restrictions during the pendency of any proposed merger or acquisition on the parties' ability to pursue certain business opportunities and strategic transactions; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of a proposed merger or acquisition; the inability to fully achieve expected revenues, savings, efficiencies or synergies from mergers and acquisitions, or taking longer than estimated for such revenues, savings, efficiencies and synergies to be realized; changes in laws and regulations; interest rate movements; changes in credit quality; inability to raise capital, if necessary, under favorable conditions; volatility in the securities markets; the demand for our products and services; deteriorating economic conditions; geopolitical tensions; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity incidents, fraud, natural disasters and future pandemics; expenses associated with litigation and legal proceedings; and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 under the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materializes, or if the Company's underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what the Company anticipates. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict those events or how they may affect it. In addition, the Company cannot assess the impact of each factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that the Company or persons acting on the Company's behalf may issue.
The review period for subsequent events extends up to and includes the filing date of a public company’s financial statements, when filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
