HARRISBURG, Pa., April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: ORRF), the parent company of Orrstown Bank (the “Bank”), announced earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net income totaled $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net income of $21.5 million and $18.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Diluted earnings per share was $1.12 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.11 and $0.93 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. For the first quarter of 2025, excluding the impact from the previously disclosed merger-related expenses, net of taxes, net income and diluted earnings per share were $19.3 million⁽¹⁾ and $1.00⁽¹⁾, respectively.

“Orrstown delivered strong results across the board in another successful quarter,” said Thomas R. Quinn, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. “Net income and diluted earnings per share increased quarter to quarter. Return on average assets and return on average equity continued to exceed peer multiples. Noninterest income again was a substantial component of our earnings. Noninterest expense declined as we continue to focus on creating efficiencies throughout the organization. The loan portfolio experienced growth across the whole footprint while maintaining a focus on quality. We believe that deposit growth, which accelerated during the second half of the quarter, will enable us to successfully manage our funding costs and maintain a healthy net interest margin in a competitive funding environment. Our credit metrics remain sound and our capital ratios are consistently building from earnings generation.”

Adam Metz, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer added “Having spent nearly a decade at Orrstown, I have seen first-hand the strength of our franchise, the power of our culture and the collective commitment the whole organization has to our clients and community. An incredibly talented team with common alignment to our core principles will continue to build upon the foundation already in place - driving growth, deepening client relationships, thoughtfully expanding fee‑based businesses, and continuing our unwavering commitment to sound risk management and long‑term shareholder value.”

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Balance Sheet

Loans

Loans held for investment increased by $40.6 million and totaled $4.1 billion at March 31, 2026 compared to $4.0 billion at December 31, 2025. Commercial loans increased by $31.5 million, or approximately 4% annualized, and residential mortgages increased by $10.1 million, or approximately 5% annualized, from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026. Loan growth was reduced by the impact of loan payoffs.

Investment Securities

Investment securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale, decreased by $5.7 million to $947.0 million at March 31, 2026 from $952.7 million at December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, paydowns totaled $23.4 million and net unrealized losses increased by $6.8 million due to higher market interest rates and widening of spreads at the end of the first quarter of 2026. The Bank purchased $23.1 million of investment securities, consisting of $15.1 million of agency mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, $6.9 million of non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations and $1.1 million of securities issued by state and political subdivisions during the first quarter of 2026. The remaining change in investment securities is due to net accretion recorded on the investment securities during the first quarter of 2026. The overall duration of the Company's investment securities portfolio was 4.7 years at March 31, 2026 compared to 4.6 years at December 31, 2025. See Appendix B for a summary of the Bank's investment securities at March 31, 2026, highlighting their concentrations, credit ratings and credit enhancement levels.

Deposits

During the first quarter of 2026, deposits increased by $98.7 million and totaled $4.6 billion at March 31, 2026 compared to $4.5 billion at December 31, 2025. Interest-bearing demand deposits, non-interest demand deposits, time deposits and money market deposits increased by $73.2 million, $11.7 million, $8.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively, from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026. Savings deposits decreased by $2.6 million from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026. Efforts to drive deposit generation were successful in the first quarter of 2026. The Bank's loan-to-deposit ratio was 88% at March 31, 2026 compared to 89% at December 31, 2025.

Borrowings

The Company actively manages its liquidity position through its various sources of funding to meet the needs of its clients. FHLB advances and other borrowings were $206.7 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $274.7 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease of $68.0 million was due to repayments during the first quarter of 2026 as the Bank utilized available liquidity from deposits to fund its operations. The Bank seeks to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure that client needs can be addressed in a timely basis. The Bank had available alternative funding sources, such as FHLB advances and other wholesale options, of $1.8 billion at March 31, 2026 compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2025.

Income Statement

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income was $49.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $50.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. A significant portion of this decrease was due to two less days in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased to 3.90% in the first quarter of 2026 from 4.00% in the fourth quarter of 2025. This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease of 13 basis points in the yield on loans and a decrease of seven basis points in the yield on securities from the three months ended December 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2026. These decreases in the yield on interest-earning assets were partially offset by a decrease of two basis points in the cost of funds between the same periods. Net interest income reflects the net accretion impact of purchase accounting marks on loans, securities, deposits and borrowings of $4.7 million during the first quarter of 2026 compared to $5.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Interest income on loans, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased by $1.4 million to $63.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $64.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of previous fed funds rate reductions on the Bank's variable rate loan portfolio. In addition, the net accretion impact of purchase accounting marks on loans was 33 basis points in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 36 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Interest income on investment securities, on a tax equivalent basis, was $11.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $11.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease in interest income is due to the decline in the market interest rates. Average investment securities increased by $7.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025 primarily due to net purchases.

Interest expense, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased by $0.3 million to $25.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $25.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The cost of deposits decreased by two basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025, and the borrowing costs from FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by nine basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025. This was the result of the recent reductions to FHLB borrowing rates. At the end of December 2025, the interest rate on the subordinated notes converted to a variable rate, which resulted in an increase of $0.3 million in interest expense and an increase of three basis points to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2026. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $54.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025. Average FHLB advances and other borrowings increased by $9.6 million from the three months ended December 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2026. Funding costs were elevated in the first half of the quarter due to seasonal deposit declines, which increased borrowing balances temporarily. Significant deposit inflow in the back half of the quarter enabled the Bank to significantly reduce its borrowing levels, but the average balance was still higher than the prior quarter.

Provision for Credit Losses on Loans

The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans decreased to $47.5 million at March 31, 2026 from $47.7 million at December 31, 2025. The ACL to total loans was 1.17% at March 31, 2026 compared to 1.19% at December 31, 2025. The Company recorded provision expense on loans of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Net charge-offs were $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Classified loans decreased by $0.8 million to $57.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $58.4 million at December 31, 2025 due to repayments of $2.9 million and charge-offs of $0.9 million, offset by net downgrades. Non-accrual loans totaled $30.0 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $28.0 million at December 31, 2025. The increase of $2.0 million in nonaccrual loans was due to additions to nonaccrual status of $5.9 million of loans, primarily consisting of $4.2 million for one commercial and land development loan and $0.8 million in one commercial loan, partially offset by repayments totaling $2.3 million, an upgrade returning one commercial loan of $1.2 million to accruing status and net charge offs of $0.9 million. Nonaccrual loans to total loans increased to 0.74% at March 31, 2026 from 0.70% at December 31, 2025. Management believes the ACL to be adequate based on current asset quality metrics and economic forecasts.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased by $1.2 million to $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $14.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Income from life insurance increased by $2.5 million to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company recorded $2.4 million in income from life insurance policy death benefits.

Swap fee income increased by $0.2 million to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Swap fee income will fluctuate based on market conditions and client demand.

Wealth management income was $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, which reflects the strength of our wealth management platform despite a decline in market performance during the first quarter of 2026.

Income from service charges decreased by $0.3 million to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 due to a decrease in interchange activity.

Other income decreased by $0.6 million to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The fourth quarter of 2025 includes $0.3 million in solar tax credit income and other one-time credits.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses decreased by $0.7 million to $36.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $37.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Salaries and benefits expense decreased by $0.8 million to $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $22.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. This was elevated during the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to year-end incentive accruals.

Professional services expense decreased by $0.7 million from $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was due to reduced reliance on third-party assistance with internal projects.

Taxes other than income increased by $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025. This increase reflects the tax credits recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025 as a result of charitable contributions.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 20.7% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 21.8% for the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is less than the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to tax-exempt income, including interest earned on tax-exempt loans and securities and non-taxable income from life insurance policies and tax credits partially offset by 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 ("TEFRA"). The Company regularly analyzes its projected taxable income and makes adjustments to the provision for income taxes accordingly.

Capital

Shareholders’ equity totaled $603.2 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $591.5 million at December 31, 2025. The increase of $11.7 million is primarily due to net income of $21.8 million partially offset by dividends of $5.9 million and other comprehensive losses of $4.5 million.

Tangible book value per common share⁽¹⁾ increased to $25.76 per share at March 31, 2026 from $25.21 per share at December 31, 2025. The Company's tangible common equity ratio was 9.2% at March 31, 2026 compared to 9.0% at December 31, 2025. Return on average tangible common equity per common share⁽¹⁾ was 17.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 18.15% for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in the return on average tangible common equity per common share was primarily due to the increase in average shareholders' equity.

The Company's capital ratios increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025 due to earnings. The Company's tier 1 common equity, tier 1 capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 11.8%, 12.0% and 13.5%, respectively, at March 31, 2026 compared to 11.5%, 11.7% and 13.3%, respectively, at December 31, 2025.

The Company continues to believe that capital is adequate to support the risks inherent in the balance sheet, as well as growth requirements.
