In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) that are necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was derived from the Company's 2023 audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
The Company's management has evaluated all activity of the Company and concluded that subsequent events are properly reflected in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes as required by GAAP.
To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.
Acquisition Accounting
The Company accounts for its mergers and acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("805"). Under ASC 805, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The determination of fair values involves significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions, including discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events. The excess of the merger consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. The results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date. In accordance with business combination accounting guidance, the Company's review of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired is ongoing, which management will continue to evaluate these fair values for up to one year following the merger date of July 1, 2024. Adjustments would be recorded to goodwill during the current reporting period.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), the current expected credit losses accounting standard commonly referred to as "CECL," which replaced the incurred loss model with the lifetime expected loss model. The CECL methodology requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses over the contractual term for financial assets
12
Table of Contents
measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity securities, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The CECL methodology also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (e.g., loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees and other similar instruments), net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with ASC Topic 842 on leases and AFS debt securities.
The Company calculates credit losses over the estimated life of the applicable financial assets using the DCF methodology for the quantitative analysis for the majority of its loan segments, which applies the probability of default and loss given default factors to future cash flows, and then adjusts to the net present value to derive the required reserve. Reasonable and supportable macroeconomic conditions include unemployment and GDP. Model assumptions include the discount rate, prepayments and curtailments. The validation of credit models also included determining the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast and regression period and utilizing national peer group historical loss rates. For the consumer loan segments, the remaining life methodology is applied as a practical expedient based on the risk characteristics.
The ACL represents the amount that, in management's judgment, appropriately reflects credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the ACL on loans and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL on loans when received. Changes to the ACL are recorded through the provision for credit losses on loans in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The ACL is maintained at a level considered appropriate to absorb credit losses over the expected life of the loan. The ACL for expected credit losses is determined based on a quantitative assessment of two categories of loans: collectively evaluated loans and individually evaluated loans. In addition, the ACL includes a qualitative component which adjusts the CECL model results for risk factors that are not considered within the CECL model but are relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within the loan classes.
The ACL on loans is measured on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist within the Company's loan segments between commercial and consumer. For purposes of estimating the Company's ACL, management generally evaluates collectively evaluated loans by federal call code, which represents the loan classes based upon U.S. regulatory loan classification rules, in order to group loans with similar risk characteristics. Each of these loan segments are broken down into multiple loan classes, which are characterized by loan type, collateral type, risk attributions and the manner in which management monitors the performance of the borrower. The risks associated with lending activities differ and are subject to the impact of change in interest rates, market conditions and the impact of economic conditions on the collateral securing the loans, and general economic conditions. The commercial loan segment includes commercial real estate, acquisition and development, commercial and industrial and municipal loan classes. The consumer loan segment includes residential mortgage, installment and other consumer loans.
Loans collectively evaluated includes loans on accrual status, except for loans previously restructured that do not share similar risk characteristics, which are individually evaluated. The ACL for loans collectively evaluated is measured using a lifetime expected loss rate model that considers historical loss performance and past events in addition to forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company elected to use the DCF methodology for the quantitative analysis for the majority of its loan segments, which applies the probability of default to future cash flows, using a loss driver model and loss given default factors, and then adjusts to the net present value to derive the required reserve. The probability of default estimates are derived through the application of reasonable and supportable economic forecasts to the regression models, which incorporates the Company's and peer loss-rate data, unemployment rate and GDP. The reasonable and supportable forecasts of the selected economic metrics are then input into the regression model to calculate an expected default rate. The expected default rates are then applied to expected loan balances estimated through the consideration of contractual repayment terms and expected prepayments. The prepayment and curtailment assumptions adjust the contractual terms of the loan to arrive at the expected cash flows. The development and validation of credit models also included determining the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast and regression period and utilizing national peer group historical loss rates. Management selected the national unemployment rate and GDP as the drivers of the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated reserves on loan classes reliant upon the DCF methodology. For the consumer loan segment, the quantitative reserve was calculated using the remaining life methodology where the average historical bank-specific and peer loss rates are applied to expected loan balances over an estimated remaining life of loans. The estimated remaining life is calculated using historical bank-specific loan attrition data.
Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation for the ACL. Loans identified to be individually evaluated under CECL include loans on nonaccrual status and may include accruing loans that do not share similar risk characteristics to other accruing loans collectively evaluated. A specific reserve analysis is applied to the individually evaluated loans, which considers collateral value, an observable market price or the present value of expected future cash flows. A specific reserve may be assigned if the measured value of the loan using one of the before mentioned methods is less than the current carrying value of the loans.
13
Table of Contents
A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the Company determines foreclosure is probable or the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Collateral could be in the form of real estate, equipment or business assets. An ACL may result for a collateral-dependent loan if the fair value of the underlying collateral, as of the reporting date, adjusted for expected costs to repair or sell, was less than the amortized cost basis of the loan. If repayment of the loan is instead dependent only on the operation, rather than the sale of the collateral, the measure of the ACL does not incorporate estimated costs to sell. For loans evaluated on the basis of projected future principal and interest cash flows, the Company discounts the expected cash flows at the effective interest rate of the loan. An ACL will result if the present value of expected cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan.
Based on management's analysis, adjustments may be applied for additional factors impacting the risk of loss in the loan portfolio beyond the quantitatively calculated reserve on collectively evaluated loans. As the quantitative reserve calculation incorporates historical conditions, management may consider an additional or reduced reserve is warranted through qualitative risk factors based on current and expected conditions. These qualitative risk factors include significant or unexpected changes in:
•Lending policies, procedures, underwriting standards and recovery practices;
•Nature and volume of loans;
•Concentrations of credit;
•Collateral valuation trends;
•Delinquency and classified loan trends;
•Experience, ability and depth of management and lending staff;
•Quality of loan review system; and
•Economic conditions and other external factors.
For PCD loans, the nonaccrual status is determined in the same manner as for other loans. In accordance with the CECL standard, the Company accounts for its PCD loans under ASC 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Assets ("ASC 310-20"). These loans are initially recorded at fair value and include credit and interest rate marks associated with acquisition accounting adjustments. Purchase premiums or discounts are subsequently amortized as an adjustment to yield over the estimated contractual lives of the loans. Under ASC 310-20, the acquired loans are evaluated on an individual asset level, and not maintained in pools and accounted for as units of accounts, which would permit treating each pool as a single asset.
From its merger with Codorus Valley, the Company evaluated and classified the acquired loans as PCD if the loans had experienced more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination or as non-PCD if the loans had not experienced a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination. PCD loans included loans on nonaccrual status, past due 60 days or greater at any time since loan origination or having a risk rating of watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss based on the Company's internal risk rating system. At acquisition, the fair value of the PCD loans is recorded to the ACL, but not as a charge to the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of operations. The initial allowance is instead established by grossing up the amortized cost of the PCD loan. Subsequent to the acquisition, changes in the expected credit losses on PCD loans are recorded to the provision for credit losses. The ACL for non-PCD loans is recorded to the provision for credit losses in the same period as the acquisition.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures("ASU 2022-02"). ASU 2022-02 requires that the Company evaluate, based on the guidance for accounting for loan modifications, whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, if the modification results in a more-than-insignificant direct change in the contractual cash flows and whether the modifications represent terms that would result in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The Company refers to these loans as "financial difficulty modifications" or "FDMs." This change requires all loan modifications to be accounted for under the general loan modification guidance in ASC 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, and subjects entities to new disclosure requirements on loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. If a modification occurs while the loan is on accrual status, it will continue to accrue interest under the modified terms. After the initial modification and recognition of a FDM, the Company will monitor the performance of the borrower. If no subsequent qualifying modifications are made to the FDM, the loan does not require disclosure in the current period's disclosures after the one-year period has elapsed.
A comprehensive analysis of the ACL is performed by the Company on a quarterly basis. Management evaluates the adequacy of the ACL utilizing a defined methodology to determine if it properly addresses the current and expected risks in the
14
Table of Contents
loan portfolio, which considers the performance of borrowers and specific evaluation of individually evaluated loans including historical loss experiences, trends in delinquencies, nonperforming loans and other risk assets, and the qualitative factors. Risk factors are continuously reviewed and adjusted, as needed, by management when conditions support a change. Management believes its approach properly addresses relevant accounting and bank regulatory guidance for loans both collectively and individually evaluated. The results of the comprehensive analysis, including recommended changes, are governed by the Company's Reserve Adequacy Committee.
See Note 4, Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1, "Financial Information," for a description of the Company's loan classes and differing levels of associated credit risk.
Allowance for Credit Losses on AFS Securities
Under CECL, the Company is required to conduct an impairment evaluation on AFS securities to determine whether the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery. If these situations apply, the guidance continues to require the Company to reduce the security's amortized cost basis down to its fair value through earnings. The Company also evaluates the unrealized losses on AFS securities to determine if a security's decline in fair value below its amortized cost basis is due to credit factors. The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the underlying borrowers, performance of the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the level of credit support in the security structure. Management also evaluates other factors and circumstances that may be indicative of a decline in the fair value of the security due to a credit factor. This includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost and near-term prospects of the issuer. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of the expected cash flows of the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost, an ACL is recorded for the credit loss, which is limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any additional amount of loss would be due to non-credit factors and is recorded in AOCI, net of taxes. If a credit loss is recognized in earnings, subsequent improvements to the expectation of collectability will be recognized through the ACL. If the fair value of the security increases above its amortized cost, the unrealized gain will be recorded in AOCI, net of taxes, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Accrued interest receivable on AFS securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
See Note 3, Investment Securities, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1, "Financial Information," for a description of the Company's investment securities and impairment evaluation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The updated guidance requires enhanced disclosures for significant expenses by reportable operating segments. The significant expense categories would be those regularly provided to the Company's chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") and included in an operating segment's measures of profit or loss. Other required disclosures include the composition of other segment items, the title and position of the CODM and an explanation on how the CODM evaluates and uses the reportable segment's performance. This guidance for segment reporting is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard for the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2024 and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company is not currently required to report segment information and, as such, does not anticipate that the updated guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements; however, adoption of this standard could result in additional disclosures.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which will require updates to the disclosures of the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The income tax rate reconciliation will require expanded disclosure, using percentages and reporting currency amounts, to include specific categories, including state and local income tax, net of the federal income tax effect, tax credits and nontaxable and nondeductible items, with additional qualitative explanations of individually significant reconciling items. The amount of income taxes paid will require disaggregation by jurisdictional categories: federal, state and foreign. This guidance for income tax disclosures is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the updated guidance; however, management does not expect it will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors". This rule will require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. The disclosure requirements will apply to the Company's fiscal year beginning

January 1, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the final rule to determine its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
NOTE 2. MERGER
On July 1, 2024, Orrstown completed the previously announced merger of equals (the "Merger") with Codorus Valley, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of December 12, 2023, by and between Orrstown and Codorus Valley. At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), Codorus Valley was merged with and into Orrstown, with Orrstown as the surviving corporation, which was promptly followed by the merger of Codorus Valley's wholly-owned bank subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company, with and into Orrstown Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orrstown, with Orrstown Bank as the surviving bank.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Codorus Valley common stock, $2.50 par value per share ("Codorus Common Stock"), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and converted into the right to receive 0.875 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of Orrstown common stock, no par value per share ("Orrstown Common Stock"), with an amount in cash, without interest, to be paid in lieu of fractional shares.
In addition, at the Effective Time, (i) each option to purchase Codorus Valley common stock issued under Codorus Valley's 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, and any other similar plan (collectively, the "Codorus Valley Equity Plans"), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Orrstown common stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Codorus Valley common stock subject to such stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time and the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (a) the exercise price per share of Codorus Valley common stock of such stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (b) the Exchange Ratio; (ii) all time-based restricted stock awards and time-based restricted stock unit awards granted under the Codorus Valley Equity Plans were vested in full; and (iii) all performance-based restricted stock awards and performance-based restricted stock unit awards granted under the Codorus Valley Equity Plans were vested in full. In addition, the 2007 Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan was terminated prior to the closing date of the Merger. Each outstanding share of Orrstown Common Stock remained outstanding and was unaffected by the Merger.
PeoplesBank operated 22 full-service branches and eight limited purpose branches in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Following the Merger, Orrstown operated 51 branches as of July 1, 2024. On August 5, 2024, Orrstown announced the Bank intends to close six of its branches, including three branches owned by the Bank, which the land and buildings were transferred to held-for-sale. These branch closures were completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. After these branch closures are complete, the Bank will have 38 full-service branches and seven limited purpose branches.
The total aggregate consideration delivered to holders of Codorus Valley common stock was 8,532,038 shares of Orrstown common stock. The issuance of shares of Orrstown common stock in connection with the Merger was registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement initially filed by Orrstown with the SEC on March 29, 2024 and declared effective on April 23, 2024 (the "Registration Statement"). The consideration transferred at the close of the transaction was $233.4 million based on the closing market price of Orrstown common stock of $27.36 on June 28, 2024.
The Merger accomplishes the Company's objectives of providing increased market opportunities and expanding its branch network through a contiguous footprint in Central and Eastern Pennsylvania and the Greater Baltimore, Maryland area. Further, the Merger creates an expanded product suite based on the complementary nature of the products and customers of both companies and increases lending capacity, which will support growth of the existing client base and is expected to provide an opportunity to mitigate risks and increase potential returns.

The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair values of major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Merger. The Company used independent valuation specialists to assist with the determination of fair values for certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
The Company acquired core deposit intangibles of $35.9 million and customer relationship intangible assets associated with wealth and brokerage businesses totaling $10.4 million from the Merger, both valued utilizing the income approach, which
17
Table of Contents
is based on the present value of the cash flows that can be expected to be generated in the future. The core deposit intangible and customer relationship intangible assets are amortized based on the sum-of-the-years digits method over the expected life of 10 years.
The Company increased the fair value of premises by $6.6 million with a corresponding decrease to goodwill based upon updated independent market-based appraisals for buildings, land and land improvements. The fair value adjustments will depreciated based on the estimated useful life of 40 years.
Pursuant to the Merger, the Company acquired operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities both with a fair value of $5.1 million based on the income approach, which considered the lease contracts current rental rates, escalation terms and expiration periods. The Company also acquired a finance lease asset and liability with a fair value of $392 thousand. At July 1, 2024, the Company recorded negative fair value adjustments of $1.1 million and $133 thousand to operating lease assets and finance lease assets, respectively, which are amortized over the remaining lease terms.
An adjustment of $3.2 million was recorded to reflect the fair value of the time deposits assumed, which was determined using a discounted cash flow approach that utilized a discount rate equal to current market interest rates for instruments with similar terms and maturities. The fair value adjustment for time deposits will be amortized over the remaining maturities.
Subordinated notes and trust preferred debt were valued using a discounted cash flow approach, which applied a discount rate based upon other issuances with comparable terms. Fair value adjustments of $2.4 million and $2.7 million were recorded for the subordinated notes and trust preferred debt, respectively, which will be amortized over their remaining maturities.
The Company evaluated and classified the acquired loans between non-PCD or PCD. The PCD loans include loans which experienced more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination. PCD loans included loans on nonaccrual status, past due 60 days or greater at any time since loan origination or having a risk rating of watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss based on the Company's internal risk rating system. For PCD loans, an ACL is recorded on day 1 and added to the fair value of the loan for its amortized cost. At day 1, a provision for credit loss is not recorded on PCD loans. The following table presents details related to the fair value of acquired PCD loans at the acquisition date:
Unpaid Principal Balance PCD ACL Non-Credit Discount Fair Value of Acquired Loans

On a quarterly basis, the Company conducts an impairment evaluation on AFS securities to determine whether the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery. If these situations apply, the guidance requires the Company to reduce the security's amortized cost basis down to its fair value through earnings. The Company also evaluates the unrealized losses on AFS securities to determine if a security's decline in fair value below its amortized cost basis is due to credit factors. The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the underlying issuers, performance of the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the level of credit support in the security structure. Management also evaluates other factors and circumstances that may be indicative of a decline in the fair value of the security due to a credit factor. This includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost and near-term prospects of the issuer. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of the expected cash flows of the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. Under the CECL standard, if the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost, an ACL is recorded for the credit loss, which is limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any additional amount of loss would be due to non-credit factors and is recorded in AOCI, net of taxes. If a credit loss is recognized in earnings, subsequent improvements to the expectation of collectability will be recognized through the ACL. If the fair value of the security increases above its amortized cost, the unrealized gain will be recorded in AOCI, net of taxes, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company did not record an ACL on the AFS securities at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of these periods, the Company considers the unrealized losses on the AFS securities to be related to fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, and not reflective of deterioration in credit. In addition, the Company maintains that it has the intent and ability to hold these AFS securities until the amortized cost is recovered and it is more likely than not that any of AFS securities in an unrealized loss position would not be required to be sold. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, unrealized losses were due to market uncertainty resulting from inflation and higher interest rates from the time of the security purchase.
U.S. Treasury Securities. The unrealized losses presented in the table above have been caused by an increase in rates from the time these securities were purchased. Management considers the full faith and credit of the U.S. government in determining whether declines in fair value are due to credit factors.
States and Political Subdivisions. The unrealized losses presented in the table above have been caused by a rise in interest rates from the time these securities were purchased. Management evaluates the financial performance of the issuers, including the investment rating, the state of the issuer of the security and other support in determining whether declines in fair value are due to credit factors.
GSE Residential CMOs, GSE Residential MBS and GSE Commercial MBS. The unrealized losses presented in the table above have been caused by a widening of spreads and a rise in interest rates from the time these securities were purchased. The contractual terms of these securities do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than its par value basis.

Non-Agency CMOs. The unrealized losses presented in the table above were caused by a widening of spreads and a rise in interest rates from the time the securities were purchased. Management considers the investment rating and other credit support in its evaluation, including delinquencies and credit enhancements, in determining whether declines in fair value are due to credit factors.
Asset-backed. The unrealized losses presented in the table above were caused by a widening of spreads and a rise in interest rates from the time the securities were purchased. Management considers the investment rating and other credit support in its evaluation, including delinquencies and credit enhancements, in determining whether declines in fair value are due to credit factors.
The Company does not intend to sell the aforementioned investment securities with unrealized losses and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. In addition, the unrealized losses are not credit related. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the unrealized losses for these securities do not require an ACL at September 30, 2024.
The following table summarizes amortized cost and fair value of investment securities by contractual maturity at September 30, 2024. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately.

NOTE 4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The Company's loan portfolio is grouped into segments, which are further broken down into classes to allow management to monitor the performance by the borrower and to monitor the yield on the portfolio. The risks associated with lending activities differ among the various loan classes and are subject to the impact of changes in interest rates, market conditions of collateral securing the loans, and general economic conditions. All of these factors may adversely impact both the borrower's ability to repay its loans and the value of its associated collateral.
The Company has various types of commercial real estate loans, which have differing levels of credit risk. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are generally dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower's business, with the cash flows generated from the business being the primary source of repayment of the loan. If the business suffers a downturn in sales or profitability, the borrower's ability to repay the loan could be in jeopardy.
21
Table of Contents
Non-owner occupied and multi-family commercial real estate loans and non-owner occupied residential loans present a different credit risk to the Company than owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, as the repayment of the loan is dependent upon the borrower's ability to generate a sufficient level of occupancy to produce rental income that exceeds debt service requirements and operating expenses. Lower occupancy or lease rates may result in a reduction in cash flows, which hinders the ability of the borrower to meet debt service requirements and may result in lower collateral values. The Company generally recognizes that greater risk is inherent in these credit relationships compared to owner-occupied loans mentioned above.
Acquisition and development loans consist of 1-4 family residential construction and commercial and land development loans. The risk of loss on these loans is largely dependent on the Company's ability to assess the property's value at the completion of the project, which should exceed the property's construction costs. During the construction phase, a number of factors could potentially negatively impact the collateral value, including cost overruns, delays in completing the project, competition, and real estate market conditions, which may change based on the supply of similar properties in the area. In the event the collateral value at the completion of the project is not sufficient to cover the outstanding loan balance, the Company must rely upon other repayment sources, if any, including the guarantors of the project or other collateral securing the loan.
Commercial and industrial loans include advances to businesses for general commercial purposes and include permanent and short-term working capital, machinery and equipment financing, and may be either in the form of lines of credit or term loans. Although commercial and industrial loans may be unsecured to our highest-rated borrowers, the majority of these loans are secured by the borrower's accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment. In a significant number of these loans, the collateral also includes the business real estate or the business owner's personal real estate or assets. Commercial and industrial loans present credit exposure to the Company, as they are more susceptible to risk of loss during a downturn in the economy as borrowers may have greater difficulty in meeting their debt service requirements and the value of the collateral may decline. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk through its underwriting standards, including evaluating the creditworthiness of the borrower and, to the extent available, credit ratings on the business. Additionally, monitoring of the loans through annual renewals and meetings with the borrowers is typical. However, these procedures cannot eliminate the risk of loss associated with commercial and industrial lending.
Municipal loans consist of extensions of credit to municipalities and school districts within the Company's market area. These loans generally present a lower risk than commercial and industrial loans, as they are generally secured by the municipality's full taxing authority, by revenue obligations, or by its ability to raise assessments on its clients for a specific utility.
The Company originates loans to its retail clients, including fixed-rate and adjustable first lien mortgage loans, with the underlying 1-4 family owner occupied residential property securing the loan. The Company's risk exposure is minimized in these types of loans through the evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower, including credit scores and debt-to-income ratios, and underwriting standards, which limit the loan-to-value ratio to generally no more than 80% upon loan origination, unless the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance.
Home equity loans, including term loans and lines of credit, present a slightly higher risk to the Company than 1-4 family first liens, as these loans can be first or second liens on 1-4 family owner occupied residential property, but can have loan-to-value ratios of no greater than 85% of the value of the real estate taken as collateral. The creditworthiness of the borrower is also considered, including credit scores and debt-to-income ratios.
Installment and other loans' credit risk is mitigated through prudent underwriting standards, including evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower through credit scores and debt-to-income ratios and, if secured, the collateral value of the assets. These loans can be unsecured or secured by assets the value of which may depreciate quickly or may fluctuate and may present a greater risk to the Company than 1-4 family residential loans.

In order to monitor ongoing risk associated with its loan portfolio and specific loans within the segments, management uses an internal grading system. The first several rating categories, representing the lowest risk to the Bank, are combined and given a "Pass" rating. Management generally follows regulatory definitions in assigning criticized ratings to loans, including "Special Mention," "Substandard," "Doubtful" or "Loss." The Special Mention category includes loans that have potential weaknesses that may, if not monitored or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Bank's position at some future date. These assets pose elevated risk, but their weakness does not yet justify a more severe, or classified rating. Substandard loans are classified as they have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses that jeopardize liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Substandard loans include loans that management may determine to be either individually evaluated, referred to as "Substandard - Individually Evaluated Loan," or collectively evaluated, referred to as "Substandard Non-Individually Evaluated Loan." A Doubtful loan has a high probability of total or substantial loss, but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the asset, its classification as Loss is deferred. Loss loans are considered uncollectible, as the borrowers are often in bankruptcy, have suspended debt repayments, or have ceased business operations. Once a loan is classified as Loss, there is little prospect of collecting the loan's principal or interest and it is charged off.
The Company has a loan review policy and program, which is designed to identify and monitor risk in the lending function. The Management ERM Committee, comprised of executive officers, senior officers and loan department personnel, is charged with the oversight of overall credit quality and risk exposure of the Company's loan portfolio. This includes the monitoring of the lending activities of all Company personnel with respect to underwriting and processing new loans and the timely follow-up and corrective action for loans showing signs of deterioration in quality. A loan review program provides the Company with an independent review of the commercial loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as extended delinquencies, bankruptcy, repossession or death of the borrower occurs, which heightens awareness as to a possible credit event.
Internal loan reviews are completed annually on all commercial relationships with a committed loan balance in excess of $1.0 million, which includes confirmation of risk rating by an independent credit officer. In addition, all commercial relationships greater than $500 thousand rated Substandard, Doubtful or Loss are reviewed quarterly and corresponding risk ratings are reaffirmed by the Company's Problem Loan Committee, with subsequent reporting to the Management ERM Committee and the Board of Directors.

For commercial real estate, acquisition and development, commercial and industrial and municipal segments, a loan is evaluated individually when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining expected credit losses, and whether the loan will be individually evaluated, include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not individually evaluated. Generally, loans that are more than 90 days past due will be individually evaluated for a specific reserve. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed to determine if the loan should be placed on nonaccrual status. Nonaccrual loans are, by definition, deemed to be individually evaluated under CECL. A specific reserve allocation for individually evaluated loans is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is collateral dependent if the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. For loans that are experiencing financial difficulty for extended periods of time, periodic updates on fair values are obtained, which may include updated appraisals. Updated fair values are incorporated into the analysis in the next reporting period.
Loan charge-offs, which may include partial charge-offs, are taken on an individually evaluated loan that is collateral dependent if the carrying balance of the loan exceeds the appraised value of the collateral, the loan has been placed on nonaccrual status or identified as uncollectible, and it is deemed to be a confirmed loss. Typically, loans with a charge-off or partial charge-off will continue to be individually evaluated. Generally, an individually evaluated loan with a partial charge-off may continue to have a specific reserve on it after the partial charge-off, if factors warrant.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's individually evaluated loans were measured based on the estimated fair value of the collateral securing the loan, except for purchased auto loans on nonaccrual status and accruing loans accounted for as TDRs prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02. For real estate loans, collateral generally consists of commercial or residential real estate, but in the case of commercial and industrial loans, it could also consist of accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other business assets. Commercial and industrial loans may also have real estate collateral.
Updated appraisals are generally required every 18 months for classified commercial loans, secured by commercial real estate, in excess of $250 thousand. The "as is" value provided in the appraisal is often used as the fair value of the collateral in determining impairment, unless circumstances, such as subsequent improvements, approvals, or other circumstances, dictate that another value than that provided by the appraiser is more appropriate.
Generally, commercial loans secured by real estate that are evaluated individually are measured at fair value using certified real estate appraisals that had been completed within the last 18 months. Appraised values are discounted for estimated costs to sell the property and other selling considerations to arrive at the property's fair value. In those situations in which it is determined an updated appraisal is not required for loans individually evaluated for credit expected losses, fair values are based on either an existing appraisal or a DCF analysis as determined by management. The approaches are discussed below:
•Existing appraisal - if the existing appraisal provides a strong loan-to-value ratio (generally 70% or lower) and, after consideration of market conditions and knowledge of the property and area, it is determined by the Credit Administration staff that there has not been a significant deterioration in the collateral value, the existing certified appraised value may be used. Discounts to the appraised value, as deemed appropriate for selling costs, are factored into the fair value.
•Discounted cash flows - in limited cases, DCF may be used on projects in which the collateral is liquidated to reduce the borrowings outstanding and is used to validate collateral values derived from other approaches.
Collateral on loans evaluated individually is not limited to real estate, and may consist of accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other business assets. Estimated fair values are determined based on borrowers' financial statements, inventory ledgers, accounts receivable aging or appraisals from individuals with knowledge in the business. Stated balances are generally discounted for the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. In determining fair value, liquidation discounts are applied to this collateral based on existing loan evaluation policies.
The Company distinguishes substandard loans for both loans individually and collectively evaluated, as it places less emphasis on a loan's classification, and increased reliance on whether the loan was performing in accordance with the contractual terms. A substandard classification does not automatically meet the definition of an individually evaluated loan. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard loans, does not have to exist in individual extensions of credit classified as substandard. As a result, the Company's methodology includes an evaluation of certain accruing commercial

real estate, acquisition and development, commercial and industrial and municipal loans rated substandard to be collectively evaluated for credit expected losses. Although the Company believes these loans meet the definition of substandard, they are generally performing and management has concluded that it is likely the Company will be able to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of nonaccrual loans, according to loan class, with and without reserves on individually evaluated loans as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company did not recognize interest income on nonaccrual loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded interest income previously applied to principal of $1.6 million from the payoff of a commercial real estate loan, which totaled $13.4 million at December 31, 2023.

A loan is considered to be collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of collateral. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, substantially all individually evaluated loans were collateral-dependent and consisted primarily of commercial real estate, acquisition and development and residential mortgage loans, which were primarily secured by commercial or residential real estate.

ASU 2022-02 requires that the Company evaluate, based on the accounting for loan modifications, whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification results in a more-than-insignificant direct change in the contractual cash flows and represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. This standard requires all loan modifications to be accounted for under the general loan modification guidance in ASC 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs.
The Company may modify loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, interest rate reduction or an other-than-insignificant payment delay. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged off against the ACL. The Company may also provide multiple types of modifications on an individual loan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company extended modifications to three borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that had a more-than-insignificant direct change in the contractual cash flows of the loan. In addition, the Company acquired three FDM loans from the Merger, which were modified previously during 2024. The Company did not extend modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that had a more-than-insignificant direct change in the contractual cash flows of the loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For loans previously

modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, there was a payoff of a loan within the Acquisition and Development segment totaling $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In addition, there were no payment defaults in the subsequent twelve months and the Company has not committed to lend additional amounts to those borrowers.
The following tables presents the amortized cost of loans at September 30, 2024 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, by loan class and by type of modification.

The Company's ACL is calculated quarterly, with any adjustment recorded to the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of operations. Management calculates the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated loans for all loan categories, with the exception of the consumer loan segment, using DCF methodology. For purposes of calculating the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated reserves on the consumer loan segment, the remaining life methodology is

Table of Contents
utilized. For purposes of estimating the Company's ACL, management generally evaluates collectively evaluated loans by federal call code, which represents the loan classes based upon U.S. regulatory loan classification rules, in order to group loans with similar risk characteristics.
Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual loan basis, and are excluded from the collective evaluation for the ACL. Loans identified to be individually evaluated under CECL include loans on nonaccrual status and may include accruing loans that do not share similar risk characteristics to other accruing loans that are collectively evaluated on a loan pool basis. A specific analytical method is applied to the individually evaluated loans, which considers collateral value, an observable market price or the present value of expected future cash flows. A specific reserve is assigned if the measured value of the loan using one of the before mentioned methods is less than the current carrying value of the loan.
Based on management's analysis, adjustments may be applied for additional factors impacting the risk of loss in the loan portfolio beyond the quantitatively calculated reserve calculated on collectively evaluated loans. As the quantitative reserve calculation incorporates historical conditions, management may consider an additional or reduced reserve is warranted through qualitative risk factors based on current and expected conditions. These qualitative risk factors considered by management are comparable to legacy factors prior to the adoption of CECL and include significant or unexpected changes in:
Nature and Volume of Loans - including loan growth in the current and subsequent quarters based on the Company's targeted growth and strategic plan, coupled with the types of loans booked based on risk management and credit culture; the number of exceptions to loan policy; and supervisory loan to value exceptions.
Concentrations of Credit and Changes within Credit Concentrations - including the composition of the Company's overall portfolio makeup and management's evaluation related to concentration risk management and the inherent risk associated with the concentrations identified.
Lending Policies and Procedures, Underwriting Standards and Recovery Practices- including changes to credit policies and procedures, underwriting standards and perceived impact on anticipated losses, trends in the number of exceptions to loan policy, supervisory loan to value exceptions; and administration of loan recovery practices.
Delinquency and Classified Loan Trends- including delinquency percentages and internal loan ratings noted in the portfolio relative to economic conditions, severity of the delinquencies and the ratings and whether the ratios are trending upwards or downwards.
Collateral Valuation Trends- including underlying market conditions and impact on the collateral values securing the loans.
Experience, Ability and Depth of Management/Lending staff- including the level of experience of senior and middle management and the lending staff, turnover of the staff, and instances of repeat criticisms.
Quality of Loan Review System - including the level of experience of the loan review staff, in-house versus outsourced provider of review, turnover of the staff and instances of repeat criticisms from independent testing, which includes the evaluation of internal loan ratings of the portfolio.
Economic Conditions- including trends in the international, national, regional and local conditions that monitor the interest rate environment, inflationary pressures, the consumer price index, the housing price index, housing statistics, and bankruptcy rates.
Other External Factors - including regulatory and legal environment risks and competition.
All factors noted above were deemed appropriate at September 30, 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Economic Conditions qualitative factor was reduced and the Other External Factorsqualitative factor is no longer assigned to the impacted loan segments.These changes were based on improved economic reports, as well as concerns subsiding from the prior year about liquidity positions within the banking industry. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Economic Conditionsqualitative factor for the residential mortgage loan segment was removed and there was a decrease in the Collateral Valuation Trends qualitative factor from a moderate to low level in the ACL model for the residential mortgage and installment and other loan segments applied during the three months ended March 31, 2024. These changes were based on the stabilization in real estate collateral valuations and housing demand and overall portfolio performance. All other qualitative factors were unchanged from December 31, 2023.

NOTE 5. LEASES
A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has primarily entered into operating leases for branches and office space. Most of the Company's leases contain renewal options, which the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Including renewal options, the Company's leases range from 3 to 29 years. Operating and finance lease right-of-use assets are included in other assets, operating lease liabilities are included in other liabilities and the finance lease liability is included in other borrowings on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments, as the rate implicit in the Company's leases is not readily determinable. Lease agreements that contain non-lease components are generally accounted for as a single lease component, while variable costs, such as common area maintenance expenses and property taxes, are expensed as incurred.
Pursuant to the Merger, the Company acquired operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities both with a fair value of $5.1 million. The Company also acquired a finance lease asset and liability with a fair value of $392 thousand. At July 1, 2024, the Company recorded negative fair value adjustments of $1.1 million and $133 thousand to operating lease assets and finance lease assets, respectively, which are amortized over the remaining lease terms. The weighted average remaining lease term for the acquired operating leases is 14.3 years.

NOTE 6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, goodwill was $70.7 million and $18.7 million, respectively. No impairment charges were recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment on at least an annual basis, with testing between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit.
The Company conducted its last annual goodwill impairment test as of November 30, 2023 using generally accepted valuation methods. As a result of that impairment test, no goodwill impairment was identified. No changes occurred that would impact the results of that analysis through September 30, 2024.

NOTE 7. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company maintains share-based compensation plans under the shareholder-approved 2011 Plan. The purpose of the share-based compensation plans is to provide officers, employees, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company with additional incentive to further the success of the Company, and awards may consist of grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock units and performance shares. All employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan. The 2011 Plan allows for the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to determine the type of incentive to be awarded, its term, manner of exercise, vesting and restrictions on shares. Generally, awards are nonqualified under the IRC, unless the awards are deemed to be incentive awards to employees at the Compensation Committee's discretion.
At September 30, 2024, 1,281,920 shares of the common stock of the Company were reserved, of which 105,106 shares are available to be issued.

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and also through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company's derivative financial instruments are used as risk management tools by the Company to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company's known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company's investment securities and borrowings and are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.

Table of Contents
Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve limiting the Company's exposure to fluctuations in future cash flows through the receipt of fixed or variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate or fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company discontinues cash flow hedge accounting if it is probable the forecasted hedged transactions will not occur in the initially identified time period due to circumstances. Upon discontinuance, the associated gains and losses deferred in AOCI are reclassified immediately into earnings and subsequent changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge are recognized in earnings.
At September 30, 2024, the Company had one interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge with a notional value of $75.0 million, which was a pay-fixed hedge with a notional value for the purpose of hedging variable cash flows associated with the Company's borrowings. At December 31, 2023, the Company had two interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $125.0 million. At September 30, 2024, the Company had one pay-float interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument, for the purpose of hedging the variable cash flows of selected AFS securities or loans, mature with a total notional value of $50.0 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not enter into new interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges.
Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. The gain or loss on the fair value hedge, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings as the fair value changes. When a fair value hedge is discontinued, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and the existing basis adjustment is amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the asset or liability.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had three pay-fixed interest rate swaps on certain closed portfolio loans with our commercial clients with a total notional value of $100.0 million. The commercial loans are scheduled to mature at various dates ranging from December 2026 to October 2054. The interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges and allow the Company to offer long-term fixed rate loans to commercial clients while mitigating the interest rate risk of a long-term asset by converting fixed rate interest payments to floating rate interest payments indexed to a synthetic U.S. SOFR rate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not enter into new interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges.
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements that allow its commercial loan customers to effectively convert a variable-rate commercial loan agreement to a fixed-rate commercial loan agreement. Under these agreements, the Company enters into a variable-rate loan agreement with a customer in addition to an interest rate swap agreement, which serves to effectively swap the customer's variable-rate loan into a fixed-rate loan. In addition, the Company may enter into interest rate caps that allow its commercial loan customers to gain protection against significant interest rate increases and provide an upper limit, or cap, on the variable interest rate. The Company then enters into a corresponding swap or cap agreement with a third party in order to economically hedge its exposure through the customer agreement. The interest rate swaps and interest rate caps with both the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges and are marked through earnings. At September 30, 2024, the Company had 59 customer and 59 corresponding third-party broker interest rate derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument with an aggregate notional amount of $692.1 million compared to $444.8 million in notional amount of such derivative instruments at December 31, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company entered into twenty and twenty-five, respectively, new interest rate swaps with a commercial loan customer and recorded swap fee income of $504 thousand and $1.1 million, respectively. In addition, the Company acquired ten customer and ten corresponding third-party broker interest rate derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument with an aggregate notional value of $96.5 million from the Merger. The Company entered into four new interest rate swaps and recorded $255 thousand in swap fee income during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and six new interest rate swaps that resulted in swap fee income of $451 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Swap fee income is included in noninterest income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash collateral of $9.4 million and $6.6 million with third parties for certain of these derivatives, respectively. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held cash collateral of $890 thousand and $4.4 million from a counterparty for these derivatives, respectively.
The Company also may enter into risk participation agreements with a financial institution counterparty for an interest rate derivative contract related to a loan in which the Company may be a participant or the agent bank. The risk participation agreement provides credit protection to the agent bank should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contracts with the agent bank. The Company manages its credit risk on the risk participation agreement by monitoring the creditworthiness of the borrower, which is based on the same credit review process as though the Company had entered into the derivative instruments directly with the borrower. The notional amount of such risk participation agreement reflects the
40
Table of Contents
Company's pro-rata share of the derivative instrument, consistent with its share of the related participated loan. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had six risk participation agreements with sold protection with a notional value of $47.0 million and $32.7 million, respectively, including two risk participation agreements with sold protection with a notional value of $14.1 million acquired from the Merger. In addition, the Company had five risk participations with purchased protection with a notional value of $23.8 million at September 30, 2024 compared to three risk participations with purchased protection with a notional value of $11.0 million at December 31, 2023. The Company did not enter into any risk participation agreements with sold protection during the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company entered into two risk participation agreements with purchased protection. The Company did not enter into any new risk participations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
As a part of its normal residential mortgage operations, the Company will enter into an interest rate lock commitment with a potential borrower. The Company may enter into a corresponding commitment with an investor to sell that loan at a specific price shortly after origination. In accordance with FASB ASC 820, adjustments are recorded through earnings to account for the net change in fair value of these transactions for the held for sale loan pipeline. The fair value of held for sale loans can vary based on the interest rate locked with the customer and the current market interest rate at the balance sheet date.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

NOTE 13. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY CAPITAL
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Under the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. Banks, an entity must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The Company and the Bank have elected not to include net unrealized gains or losses included in AOCI in computing regulatory capital.
The Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At September 30, 2024, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's classification.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were average outstanding restricted award shares totaling zero and 517, respectively, compared to 5,262 and 8,348 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, excluded from the computation of earnings per share because the effect was antidilutive, as the grant price exceeded the average market price. The dilutive effect of share-based compensation in each period above relates to restricted stock awards and vested stock options assumed from the Merger.
NOTE 15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The following table presents these contractual, or notional, amounts at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Contractual or Notional Amount
September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Commitments to fund:
Home equity lines of credit $ 536,884 $ 337,460
1-4 family residential construction loans 87,112 40,330
Commercial real estate, construction and land development loans 238,597 132,607
Commercial, industrial and other loans 516,783 357,099
Letters of credit 48,629 24,529
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each client's credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the client. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients. The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments when deemed necessary by management. The liability at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued was not considered to be material.
47
Table of Contents
The Company maintains a reserve on its off-balance sheet credit exposures, which totaled approximately $2.8 million and $1.7 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is recorded in other liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The reserve is based on management's estimate of expected losses in its off-balance sheet credit exposures. The reserve specific to unfunded loan commitments is determined by applying utilization assumptions based on historical experience and applying the expected loss rates by loan class. The change in the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures is recorded as a provision or reduction to expense through the provision for credit losses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded a reversal in the provision for credit losses of $434 thousand and $557 thousand for off-balance sheet credit exposures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded expense of zero to other operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations associated with its reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures.
NOTE 16. FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - at least one significant unobservable input that reflects a company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
In instances in which multiple levels of inputs are used to measure fair value, hierarchy classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for instruments measured on a recurring basis:
Where quoted prices are available in an active market, investment securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 investment securities include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, investment securities are classified within Level 2 and fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or DCF. Level 2 investment securities include U.S. agency securities, MBS, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, investment securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company's investment securities are classified as AFS.
The fair values of interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and risk participation derivatives are determined using models that incorporate readily observable market data into a market standard methodology. This methodology nets the discounted future cash receipts and the discounted expected cash payments. The discounted variable cash receipts and payments are based on expectations of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, fair value is adjusted for the effect of nonperformance risk by incorporating credit valuation adjustments for the Company and its counterparties. These assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

The Company had one municipal bond and two CMOs measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Level 3 valuation is based on a non-executable broker quote, which is considered a significant unobservable input. Such quotes are updated as available and may remain constant for a period of time for certain broker-quoted securities that do not move with the market or that are not interest rate sensitive as a result of their structure or overall attributes.
The Company's residential mortgage LHFS are recorded at fair value utilizing Level 2 measurements. This fair value measurement is determined based upon third party quotes obtained on similar loans. For loans held-for-sale, for which the fair value option has been elected, the aggregate fair value was greater than the aggregate principal balance by $95 thousand as of September 30, 2024 and below the aggregate principal balance by $1.5 million as of December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents
The determination of the fair value of interest rate lock commitments on residential mortgages is based on agreed upon pricing with the respective investor on each loan and includes a pull through percentage. The pull through percentage represents an estimate of loans in the pipeline to be delivered to an investor versus the total loans committed for delivery. Significant changes in this input could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. As the pull through percentage is a significant unobservable input, this is deemed a Level 3 valuation input. The average pull through percentage, which is based upon historical experience, was 92% as of September 30, 2024. An increase or decrease of 5% in the pull through assumption would result in a positive or negative change of $7 thousand in the fair value of interest rate lock commitments at September 30, 2024.

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for these financial assets.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Individually Evaluated Loans
Loans individually evaluated for credit expected losses include nonaccrual loans and other loans that do not share similar risk characteristics to loans in the CECL loan pools, which have been classified as Level 3. Individually evaluated loans with an allocation to the ACL are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The measurement of loss associated with loans evaluated individually for all loan classes was based on either the observable market price of the loan, the fair value of the collateral or DCF. For collateral-dependent loans, fair value was measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loan, less estimated costs to sell. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The value of the real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if management adjusts the appraisal value, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business' financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3).
Changes in the fair value of individually evaluated loans still held and considered in the determination of the provision for credit losses were increases due to the acquired of $5.1 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended

September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to a decline of $224 thousand and an increase of $286 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Other Real Estate Owned
OREO property acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at the fair value of the property at the transfer date less estimated selling cost. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of its carrying value or the fair value less estimated selling cost. Fair value is usually determined based upon an independent third-party appraisal of the property or occasionally upon a recent sales offer. The Company had OREO of $138 thousand at September 30, 2024 acquired in the Merger, which there have been no subsequent write-downs. The Company had no OREO balances at December 31, 2023.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
MSRs are evaluated for impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair value, which is determined through a DCF valuation. To the extent the amortized cost of the MSRs exceeds their estimated fair values, a valuation allowance is established for such impairment. Fair value adjustments on the MSRs only occurs if there is an impairment charge. At September 30, 2024, the MSR impairment reserve was $50 thousand. There was no MSR impairment reserve at December 31, 2023. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was an impairment valuation allowance adjustment of $50 thousand in mortgage banking activities on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no impairment valuation allowance adjustments in mortgage banking activities on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 17. CONTINGENCIES
The nature of the Company's business generates a certain amount of litigation involving matters arising out of the ordinary course of business. Except as described below, in the opinion of management, there are no legal proceedings that might have a material effect on the results of operations, liquidity, or the financial position of the Company at this time.
On March 25, 2022, a customer of the Bank filed a putative class action complaint against the Bank in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in a case captionedAlleman, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, v. Orrstown Bank. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Bank breached its account agreements by charging certain overdraft fees. The complaint seeks a refund of all allegedly improper fees, damages in an amount to be proven at trial, attorneys' fees and costs, and an injunction against the Bank's allegedly improper overdraft practices. This lawsuit is similar to lawsuits filed against other financial institutions pertaining to overdraft fee disclosures.

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; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the merger with Codorus Valley (the "Merger") are not realized when expected or at all; the possibility that the Merger may be more expensive to complete and integrate than anticipated; the possibility that revenues following the Merger may be lower than expected; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the completion of the Merger; the ability to complete the integration of the two companies successfully; the dilution caused by the Company's issuance of additional shares of its capital stock in connection with the Merger; and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q under the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in other filings made with the SEC. The statements are valid only as of the date hereof and we disclaim any obligation to update this information.
Economic Climate, Inflation and Interest Rates
Preliminary real GDP was 2.8% on an annualized basis for the third quarter of 2024, which was a decrease from 3.0% for the second quarter of 2024 and a decrease from 4.9% during the third quarter of 2023. The decline from the second quarter of 2024 was due to a decrease in residential fixed investment, including residential structures and equipment, and private inventory investment. Fluctuations in real GDP in recent periods, due to inflation, credit conditions and geopolitical tensions, continue to create uncertainty in the current economic environment. The personal consumption expenditures ("PCE") price index increased by 1.5% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to an increase of 2.5% for second quarter of 2024 and 2.9% for the third quarter of 2023. Excluding food and energy prices, the PCE price index increased by 2.2% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 2.8% in the second quarter of 2024 and 2.4% in the third quarter of 2023.
The national unemployment rate was 4.1% in both October and June 2024 compared to 3.8% in September 2023. Within the Company's geographic footprint, the unemployment rate in Pennsylvania was 3.4% in September 2024 and 2023. The unemployment rate increased in Maryland from 1.6% in September 2023 to 2.9% in September 2024; however, it remains significantly below the national level. These state-wide unemployment rates are consistent with those experienced by the counties in which the Company operates branches and other corporate offices. There were notable job gains nationally in healthcare, construction and government during the third quarter of 2024.
At September 30, 2024, the 10-year Treasury bond yield was 3.81%, a decrease from 3.88% at December 31, 2023 and 4.59% at September 30, 2023 which was attributed to the FOMC's decision to reduce the Federal Funds rate by 50 basis points in September 2024. The decrease was based on the progress towards the FOMC's 2.0% inflation target and the unemployment rate remaining low despite recent slowing in job gains.
The majority of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. However, inflation does have an impact on the Company, particularly with respect to the growth of total assets and noninterest expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation. Risks also exist due to supply and demand imbalances, employment shortages, the interest rate environment, and geopolitical tensions. It is possible that estimates made in the financial statements could be materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including expected credit losses on loans and the fair value of financial instruments that are carried at fair value.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company's accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with GAAP and follow accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities and general practices within the financial services industry in which it operates. Our financial position and results of operations are affected by management's application of accounting policies, including estimates, and assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the balance sheet date and through the date the financial statements are filed with the SEC. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations and related disclosures. The more critical accounting estimates include accounting for credit losses, income tax methodologies and accounting for business combinations.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for its mergers and acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under ASC 805, the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets such as core deposit intangibles and customer list intangibles, and liabilities assumed in a business combination are
56
Table of Contents
recognized at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of the merger consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.
The valuations are based upon management's assumptions of future growth rates, future attrition, discount rates and other relevant factors, which involves a significant level of estimation and uncertainty. In addition, management engaged independent third-party specialists to assist in the development of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The preliminary estimates of fair values may be adjusted for a period of time subsequent to the acquisition date if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the merger date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Adjustments would be recorded to goodwill during the current reporting period. Examples of the impacted acquired loans and assumed liabilities includes loans, deposits, identifiable intangible assets, borrowings and certain other assets and liabilities.
For acquired loans at the merger date, management evaluated and classified loans based upon whether the loans had experienced a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deteriorating since origination. To determine the fair value of the loans, significant estimates and assumptions were applied, including projected cash flows, discount rates, repayment speeds, credit loss severity rates, default rates and realizable collateral values. At acquisition, the allowance on PCD loans is booked directly to the ACL using the Company's existing ACL methodology, but there is no initial impact to net income. Subsequent to acquisition, future changes in estimates of expected credit losses on PCD loans are recognized as provision expense (or reversal of provision expense). The ACL for non-PCD loans is recognized as a provision for credit losses in the same reporting period as the business acquisition, using the Company's existing ACL methodology.
These critical accounting estimates are discussed in detail in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Significant accounting policies and any changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

This increase is due to the assumed subordinated debt of $31.0 million and trust preferred debt of $10.3 million from the Merger, net of fair value marks. The interest rate increased on Orrstown Financial Services, Inc.'s outstanding subordinated notes of $32.5 million, which converted from a fixed rate of 6.00% to a floating rate of 8.77% on December 30, 2023.

Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $136 thousand for the same period in 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the provision for credit losses increased primarily due to $15.5 million of reserves on acquired non-PCD loans as a result of the Merger, partially offset by a provision reversal of $1.8 million due to changes in qualitative factors, a change in the peer group utilized for the calculation and a reduction of $434 thousand in the required reserve for unfunded commitments. The change in qualitative factors included a reduction in the Economic Conditions qualitative factor and removal of the Other External Factorsqualitative factor. The ACL to total loan ratio was 1.25% at both September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses was driven by an increase in commercial loans and an increase in the Delinquency and Classified Loan Trendsqualitative factor for the commercial & industrial and owner-occupied commercial real estate loan classes. The change in this qualitative factor was based on a recent trend of increases in loans downgraded to the special mention risk rating, which is reflected in the provision for credit losses noted above. In addition, the provision for credit losses was impacted by the change in expected loss rates under CECL. Favorable published trends in unemployment and GDP rates impacted the extent of provisioning required in the third quarter of 2023.
Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $269 thousand compared to net charge-offs of $241 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Nonaccrual loans were 0.68% of gross loans at September 30, 2024, compared with 0.98% of gross loans at September 30, 2023. Nonaccrual loans increased by $4.8 million from $22.3 million at September 30, 2023 to $27.1 million at September 30, 2024. This reflects $12.8 million of nonaccrual loans assumed in the Merger and additions of $16.2 million at the Bank, mainly consisting of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by repayments of $24.0 million.

Noninterest expense increased by $39.9 million from $20.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $60.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The primary driver of the overall increase was the impact of the Merger in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The following were additional significant components of the change in this line item:
•Merger-related expenses totaled $17.0 million, which primarily included employee separation costs, vendor contract terminations and professional fees incurred in connection with the Merger.
•Salaries and employee benefits expense includes a $4.8 million charge associated with the retirement of an executive.
•Data processing expense increased by $798 thousand due to the use of two core processing systems until the system conversion process is completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
•Intangible asset amortization expense increased by $2.2 million due to the amortization recognized on the core deposit intangible and wealth customer relationship intangible established on July 1, 2024 as a result of the Merger.
•Restructuring expense of $257 thousand was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to the announced closure of six branch locations to occur in the fourth quarter of 2024.
•Other operating expenses increased by $2.2 million, partially due to an increase in credit valuation adjustments on derivatives of $780 thousand. The remaining change is attributed to the impact of the merger and normal business operations.
•Other line items within noninterest expenses showed fluctuations attributable to normal business operations.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax benefit totaled $2.0 million, an effective tax rate of 20.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with income tax expense of $2.5 million and an effective tax rate of 21.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company's effective tax rate is less than the 21% federal statutory rate due to interest earned on tax-exempt loans and investment securities, income from life insurance policies and tax credits partially offset by disallowed interest expenses and the impact of nondeductible merger-related costs. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the three months ended September 30, 2023 to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to the impact of the Merger and fluctuation in the portion of interest expense disallowed as a deduction against earnings under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased by $25.9 million to $105.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $79.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company's net interest spread decreased by 11 basis points from 3.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 3.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to the increase in cost of funds.
Taxable-equivalent net interest margin increased by 5 basis points to 3.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 3.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The recognition of interest income previously applied to principal of $1.6 million from the payoff of a commercial real estate loan on nonaccrual status contributed five basis points to the Company's net interest margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets increased by 92 basis points from 5.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 6.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due primarily to the accretion recognized on fair value marks to loans and securities assumed in the Merger. This increase in yield on interest earning assets was more than offset by the increase of 103 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.87% to 2.90%due primarily to increased funding costs on deposits from higher market interest rates and competitive pressures and an increase in the interest rate on Orrstown Financial Services, Inc.'s subordinated notes, which converted from a fixed rate to a floating rate on December 30, 2023.
Average loans increased by $654.5 million to $2.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The ACL to total loan ratio remained at 1.25% at September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024. The provision expense recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to commercial loan growth, an increase in the Delinquency and Classified Loan Trendsqualitative factor for the commercial & industrial and owner-occupied commercial real estate loan classes and an increase in the Economic Conditionsqualitative factor for consumer loans and an overall increase in expected loss rates under CECL, which was adopted on January 1, 2023.

Nonaccrual loans increased by $4.8 million from $22.3 million at September 30, 2023 to $27.1 million at September 30, 2024. This reflects $12.8 million of nonaccrual loans assumed in the Merger and additions of $16.2 million at the Bank, mainly consisting of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by repayments of $24.0 million.

•Other income decreased by $408 thousand due primarily to a gain of $1.2 million from the sale of the Bank's Path Valley branch during the second quarter of 2023, partially offset by $349 thousand of solar tax credit income recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
•The gain on investment securities was due to a security redemption and the mark-to-market activity on an equity security.
•Other line items within noninterest income showed fluctuations attributable to normal business operations.

Noninterest expense increased by $44.0 million from $61.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $105.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The primary driver of the overall increase was the impact of the Merger in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The following were additional significant components of the change in this line item:
•Merger-related expenses totaled $18.8 million, which primarily included employee separation costs, vendor contract terminations and professional fees incurred in connection with the Merger.
•Salaries and employee benefits expense includes a $4.8 million charge associated with the retirement of an executive.
•Data processing expense increased by $882 thousand due to the use of two core processing systems until the system conversion process is completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
•Intangible asset amortization expense increased by $2.2 million due to the amortization recognized on the core deposit intangible and wealth customer relationship intangible established on July 1, 2024 as a result of the Merger.
•Restructuring expense of $257 thousand was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to the announced closure of six branch locations to occur in the fourth quarter of 2024.
•Other operating expenses increased by $1.9 million partially due to an increase in credit valuation adjustments on derivatives of $545 thousand. The remaining change is attributed to the impact of the merger and normal business operations.
•Other line items within noninterest expenses showed fluctuations attributable to normal business operations.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense totaled $2.3 million, an effective tax rate of 21.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with $7.3 million and an effective tax rate of 20.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company's effective tax rate is greater than the 21% federal statutory rate due to disallowed interest expense, state income taxes and nondeductible merger-related expenses partially offset by tax-exempt income, including interest earned on tax-exempt loans and investment securities, income from life insurance policies and tax credits. The increase in the effective tax rate from the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in the portion of interest expense disallowed as a deduction against earnings under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, an increase in state taxes as a result of a greater percentage of taxable income earned in a state with a state income tax and the nondeductible merger-related expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Management devotes substantial time to overseeing the investment in and costs to fund loans and investment securities through deposits and borrowings, as well as the formulation and adherence to policies directed toward enhancing profitability and managing the risks associated with these investments.
Investment Securities
The Company utilizes investment securities to manage interest rate risk, enhance income through interest and dividend income and collateralize certain deposits and borrowings.
The Company has established investment policies and an asset/liability management policy to assist in administering its investment portfolio. Decisions to purchase or sell these securities are based on economic conditions and management's strategy to respond to changes in interest rates, liquidity, pledges to secure deposits and repurchase agreements and other factors while trying to maximize return on the investments. The Company may segregate its investment security portfolio into three categories: "securities available-for-sale," "trading securities" and "securities held-to-maturity." At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, management classified the entire investment securities portfolio as AFS, which is accounted for at current market value with non-credit related losses and gains reported in OCI, net of income taxes.
The Company's investment securities portfolio includes debt investments that are subject to varying degrees of credit and market risks, which arise from general market conditions and factors impacting specific industries, as well as news that may impact specific issues. Management monitors its debt securities, using various indicators in determining whether unrealized losses on debt securities are credit related and require an ACL. These indicators include the amount of time the security has been in an unrealized loss position, the cause and extent of the unrealized loss and the credit quality of the issuer and underlying assets. In addition, management assesses whether it is likely the Company will have to sell the investment security prior to recovery, or it expects to be able to hold the investment security until the price recovers. The Company determined that the declines in market value were due to increases in interest rates and market movements, and not due to credit factors. The Company does not intend to sell these securities with unrealized losses and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the unrealized losses for the AFS securities did not require an ACL at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
At September 30, 2024, AFS securities totaled $826.8 million, an increase of $313.3 million, from $513.5 million at December 31, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company purchased $190.3 million of AFS securities excluding AFS securities acquired in the Merger, which included $188.0 million of agency MBS and CMO securities, $1.5 million of non-agency CMO securities and $788 thousand of investment securities issued by state and political subdivisions. Pursuant to the Merger, the Company acquired AFS securities with a fair value totaling $327.1 million. To align with the Company's investment strategy and to achieve higher yielding results, $162.7 million of the acquired AFS securities were sold, which included $91.5 million of MBS and CMO's, $27.1 million of corporate debt securities, $24.4 million of securities issued by state and political subdivisions and $19.7 million of securities issued by U.S. government agencies. In addition, calls of non-agency CMO securities totaled $18.0 million and there were paydowns of $40.0 million. The balance of investment securities included net unrealized losses of $19.0 million at September 30, 2024 compared to net unrealized losses of $35.6 million at December 31, 2023 for a decrease of $16.7 million. This decrease in net unrealized losses was primarily due to lower treasury rates and narrower credit spreads compared to December 31, 2023. The overall duration of the Company's investment securities portfolio was 4.6 years at September 30, 2024 compared to 4.3 years at December 31, 2023. The Company has sufficient access to liquidity such that management does not believe it would be necessary to sell any of its investment securities at a loss to offset any unexpected deposit outflows. Management believes the structure of the Company's investment security portfolio is appropriately aligned with the rest of the balance sheet to protect against volatile interest rate environments, to provide a source of liquidity and to generate steady earnings.

Loan Portfolio
The Company offers a variety of products to meet the credit needs of its borrowers, principally commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, retail loans secured by residential properties, and, to a lesser extent, installment loans. No loans are extended to non-domestic borrowers or governments.
The risks associated with lending activities differ among loan segments and classes and are subject to the impact of changes in interest rates, market conditions of collateral securing the loans and general economic conditions. Any of these factors may adversely impact a borrower's ability to repay loans, and also impact the associated collateral. A further discussion on the Company's loan segments and classes, the related risks, ACL and FDM are included in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 4, Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1, "Financial Information."

Total loans increased by $1.7 billion from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024. This increase is due to $1.6 million in loans acquired in the Merger and continued portfolio growth in the commercial loans segment and residential mortgage segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Asset Quality
Risk Elements
The Company's loan portfolio is subject to varying degrees of credit risk. Credit risk is managed through the Company's underwriting standards, on-going credit reviews and monitoring of asset quality measures. Additionally, loan portfolio diversification, which limits exposure to a single industry or borrower, and collateral requirements also mitigate the Company's risk of credit loss.
The loan portfolio consists principally of loans to borrowers in south central Pennsylvania and the greater Baltimore, Maryland region. As the majority of loans are concentrated in these geographic regions, a substantial portion of the borrowers' ability to honor their obligations may be affected by the level of economic activity in these market areas.
Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and foreclosed real estate. In addition, loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing are also deemed to be risk assets. For all loan classes, the accrual of interest income on loans, including individually evaluated loans, ceases when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and collateral is inadequate to cover principal and interest or immediately if, in the opinion of management, full collection is unlikely. Interest will continue to accrue on loans past due 90 days or more if the collateral is adequate to cover principal and interest, and the loan is in the process of collection. Interest accrued, but not collected, as of the date of placement on nonaccrual status, is generally reversed and charged against interest income, unless fully collateralized. Subsequent payments received are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on management's assessment of the ultimate collectability of principal. Loans are returned to accrual status, for all loan classes, when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, the loans have performed in accordance with the contractual terms of the note for a reasonable period of time, generally six months, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is reasonably assured. Past due status is based on contract terms of the loan.
In accordance with ASU 2022-02, the Company is required to evaluate, based on the accounting for loan modifications, whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and if the modification results in a more-than-insignificant direct change in the contractual cash flows and represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan, which the Company refers to these loans as "financial difficulty modifications" or "FDMs."

Nonaccrual loans increased by $1.4 million from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024 due primarily to additions in commercial and commercial real estate loans partially offset by the payoffs of two commercial real estate loans with outstanding balances totaling $15.0 million with no charge-offs recorded on these relationships. Nonaccrual loans totaling $12.8 million were acquired in the Merger. During 2024, the Company had $11.4 million in loan modifications meeting the FDM criteria under ASU 2022-02, which included $6.4 million in acquired loans from the Merger and three new loan modifications during the third quarter of 2024 totaling $5.0 million. There were $1.9 million in FDM loans in nonaccrual status at September 30, 2024.

The Company takes partial charge-offs on collateral-dependent loans when carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, as determined by the most recent appraisal adjusted for current (within the quarter) conditions, less costs to dispose. Specific reserves remain in place if updated appraisals are pending and represent management's estimate of potential loss.
Internal loan reviews are completed annually on all commercial relationships, secured by commercial real estate, with a committed loan balance in excess of $1.0 million, which includes confirmation of risk rating by an independent credit officer. In addition, all commercial relationships greater than $500 thousand rated Substandard, Doubtful or Loss are reviewed and

corresponding risk ratings are reaffirmed by the Bank's Problem Loan Committee, with subsequent reporting to the Management ERM Committee.
In its individually evaluated loan analysis, the Company determines the extent of any full or partial charge-offs that may be required, or any reserves that may be needed. The determination of the Company's charge-offs or specific reserve include an evaluation of the outstanding loan balance and the related collateral securing the credit. Through a combination of collateral securing the loans and partial charge-offs taken to date, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for the potential losses that it may incur on these relationships at September 30, 2024. However, over time, additional information may result in increased reserve allocations or, alternatively, it may be deemed that the reserve allocations exceed those that are needed.
Credit Risk Management
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company maintains the ACL at a level deemed adequate by management for expected credit losses. As disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 4, Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses, on January 1, 2023 the Company implemented CECL and increased the ACL with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the ACL of $2.4 million. In addition, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to the ACL for off-balance sheet exposures of $100 thousand. The Company's ACL is calculated quarterly, with any adjustment recorded to the provision for credit losses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. A comprehensive analysis of the ACL is performed by the Company on a quarterly basis. Management evaluates the adequacy of the ACL utilizing a defined methodology to determine if it properly addresses the current and expected risks in the loan portfolio, which considers the performance of borrowers and specific evaluation of individually evaluated loans, including historical loss experiences, trends in delinquencies, nonperforming loans and other risk assets, and the qualitative factors. Risk factors are continuously reviewed and adjusted, as needed, by management when conditions support a change. Management believes its approach properly addresses relevant accounting and bank regulatory guidance for loans both collectively and individually evaluated. The results of the comprehensive analysis, including recommended changes, are governed by the Company's Reserve Adequacy Committee and subsequently presented to the Enterprise Risk Management Committee.
The ACL is evaluated based on a review of the collectability of loans in light of historical experience; the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; adverse situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay; estimated value of any underlying collateral; and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. A description of the methodology for establishing the allowance and provision for credit losses and related procedures in establishing the appropriate level of reserve is included in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 4, Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1, "Financial Information."
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of the loan portfolio, by year of origination, loan class and credit quality as of September 30, 2024. For residential and consumer loan classes, the Company also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan and payment activity. Residential mortgage and installment and other consumer loans are presented below based on payment performance: performing or nonperforming. During 2024, commercial and land development loans totaling $20.6 million were recharacterized to a permanent commercial real estate class upon the completion of construction or receiving a certificate of occupancy. In addition, 1-4 family residential construction loans totaling $14.9 million were recharacterized to a permanent 1-4 family residential mortgage upon the completion of construction.

The Special Mention classification is intended to be a temporary classification reflective of loans that have potential weaknesses that may, if not monitored or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company's position at some future date. Special Mention loans represent an elevated risk, but their weakness does not yet justify a more severe, or classified, rating. These loans require inquiry by lenders on the cause of the potential weakness and, once evaluated, the loan classification may be downgraded to Substandard or, alternatively, could be upgraded to Pass.
Special Mention loans increased by $43.9 million from $24.2 million at December 31, 2023 to $68.1 million at September 30, 2024 due to acquired loans from the Merger of $51.1 million and downgrades at the Bank of $14.2 million, partially offset by repayments, including $8.6 million from two commercial and industrial clients and $3.9 million from two commercial real estate clients.
Classified loans totaled $105.5 million at September 30, 2024, or 2.6% of total loans outstanding, reflecting an increase from $49.0 million, or 2.1% of total loans outstanding, at December 31, 2023.
Non-IEL substandard loans are performing loans, which have characteristics that cause management concern over the ability of the borrower to perform under present loan repayment terms and which may result in the reporting of these loans as nonperforming, or individually evaluated, loans in the future. Generally, management feels that substandard loans that are currently performing and not considered individually evaluated result in some doubt as to the borrower's ability to continue to perform under the terms of the loan and represent potential problem loans. Non-IEL substandard loans totaled $78.3 million at September 30, 2024, an increase of $49.0 million, compared to $29.3 million at December 31, 2023, due primarily to acquired loans from the Merger of $35.7 million and downgrades at the Bank consisting of two commercial and industrial clients and two commercial real estate clients with loans totaling $7.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The Substandard-IEL category increased from $25.7 million at December 31, 2023 to $27.1 million at September 30, 2024, primarily due to acquired loans from the Merger of $12.9 million and downgrades at the Bank totaling $9.4 million consisting of two commercial and industrial clients with loans totaling $6.6 million and two commercial real estate clients with loans totaling $2.7 million, partially offset by repayments including the payoff of loans to three commercial real estate clients with an outstanding balance of $16.4 million and a residential mortgage loan of $1.6 million at December 31, 2023.

The ACL totaled $49.6 million at September 30, 2024, an increase of $20.9 million from December 31, 2023, resulting primarily from the provision for credit losses on non-PCD loans of $15.5 million related to the Merger, the allowance for credit losses on PCD loans from the Merger of $5.9 million, other provision for credit losses of $15,348 thousand and net charge-offs of $340 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The ACL as a percentage of the total loan portfolio was 1.25% at both September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses was driven by the increase in commercial loans, the increase in the loss reserve rates under the CECL methodology and an increase in the Delinquency and Classified Loan Trendsqualitative factor for the commercial & industrial and owner-occupied commercial real estate loan classes.
The Company takes partial charge-offs on collateral-dependent loans when the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, as determined by the most recent appraisal adjusted for current (within the quarter) conditions, less costs to dispose. Specific reserves remain in place if updated appraisals are pending and represent management's estimate of potential loss. In addition to the specific reserve allocations on individually evaluated loans noted previously, 11 loans, with aggregate outstanding principal balances of $1.2 million, had cumulative partial charge-offs to the ACL totaling $757 thousand through September 30, 2024. As updated appraisals are received on collateral-dependent loans, partial charge-offs are taken to the extent the loans' principal balance exceeds their fair value.
Management believes the allocation of the ACL among the various loan classes adequately reflects the life expected credit losses in each loan class and is based on the methodology outlined in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and
81
Table of Contents
Note 4, Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses, to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1, "Financial Information." Management re-evaluates and makes enhancements to its reserve methodology to better reflect the risks inherent in the different segments of the portfolio, particularly in light of increased charge-offs, with noticeable differences between the different loan classes. Management believes these enhancements to the ACL methodology improve the accuracy of quantifying the expected credit losses inherent in the portfolio. Management charges actual loan losses to the reserve and bases the provision for credit losses on its overall analysis.
Management believes the Company's ACL is adequate based on currently available information. Future adjustments to the ACL and enhancements to the methodology may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions, regulatory guidance, or management's assumptions as to future delinquencies or loss rates.
Deposits
Total deposits increased by $2.1 billion to $4.7 billion at September 30, 2024 from $2.6 billion at December 31, 2023, which included $1.9 billion in deposits assumed from the Merger. Money market deposits increased by $718.4 million, time deposits increased by $600.4 million, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased by $384.4 million, interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $285.4 million and savings deposits increased by $103.4 million. These increases were primarily attributable to the Merger. Interest-bearing demand deposits can fluctuate based on seasonal public funds activity. The increase in time deposits also reflected promotional offerings of up to 18-month terms. At September 30, 2024, deposits that are uninsured and not collateralized totaled $692.6 million, or 15% of total deposits, compared to $442.7 million, or 17% of total deposits, at December 31, 2023.
Borrowings
In addition to deposits, the Company uses borrowing sources to meet liquidity needs and for temporary funding. Sources of short-term borrowings include the FHLB of Pittsburgh, federal funds purchased and the FRB discount window. Short-term borrowings also may include securities sold under agreements to repurchase with deposit clients, in which a client sweeps a portion of a deposit balance into a repurchase agreement, which is a secured borrowing with a pool of securities pledged against the balance.
The Company also utilizes long-term debt, consisting principally of FHLB fixed and amortizing advances, to fund its balance sheet with original maturities greater than one year. Prior to entering into long-term borrowings, the Company evaluates its funding needs, interest rate movements, the cost of options and the availability of attractive structures.
FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by $22.5 million to $115.0 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $137.5 million at December 31, 2023. The Bank repaid overnight borrowings during the first quarter of 2024 based on available liquidity from deposits.
In December 2018, the Company issued unsecured subordinated notes payable totaling $32.5 million, which mature on December 30, 2028, and the proceeds of which were designated for general corporate use, including funding of cash consideration for mergers and acquisitions. The subordinated notes had a fixed interest rate of 6.0% through December 30, 2023, which then converted to a variable rate, three-month CME term SOFR rate plus 3.16%, through maturity. At September 30, 2024, the contractual interest rate on the subordinated debt was 8.75%.
The Company assumed unsecured subordinated notes of $31.0 million from the Merger. The subordinated notes have a fixed rate of interest equal to 4.50% until December 30, 2025. After that term, the variable rate of interest is equal to the three-month CME term SOFR rate plus 4.04%. The Company also assumed junior subordinated trust preferred debt of $10.3 million from the Merger, which have variable rates of three-month CME term SOFR rate, plus a spread adjustment of 0.26161% and an additional margin adjustment.
See Note 10, Short-Term Borrowings, Note 11, Long-Term Borrowings and Note 12, Subordinated Notes and Trust Preferred Debt, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1, "Financial Information," for a description and terms of the Company's borrowings and access to alternative sources of liquidity.
Shareholders' Equity, Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Matters
Capital management in a regulated financial services industry must properly balance return on equity to its shareholders while maintaining sufficient levels of capital and related risk-based regulatory capital ratios to satisfy statutory regulatory requirements. The Company's capital management strategies have been developed to provide attractive rates of returns to its shareholders, while remaining "well-capitalized" under applicable banking regulations.
82
Table of Contents
Shareholders' equity totaled $516.2 million at September 30, 2024, an increase of $251.2 million from $265.1 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the issuance of common stock of $233.4 million to acquire Codorus Valley, other comprehensive income of $12.6 million, net income of $8.4 million and the issuance of treasury shares for share-based compensation which reduced treasury stock by $5.5 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $8.7 million and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Other comprehensive income included an after-tax increase of $12.8 million from net unrealized gains on investment securities, partially offset by $249 thousand in net unrealized losses from cash flow hedges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total comprehensive income totaled $21.0 million, a decrease of $2.6 million, from total comprehensive income of $23.6 million for the same period in 2023 due primarily to a decrease in net income of $19.7 million and an increase in after-tax net unrealized losses on cash flow hedges of $2.5 million, partially offset by a decline in after-tax net unrealized losses on investment securities of $19.5 million between the comparative periods. The decrease in net unrealized losses on investment securities was primarily caused by a decline in treasury rates and narrower credit spreads.
At September 30, 2024, book value per common share was $26.65 compared to $24.98 at December 31, 2023. Tangible book value per share decreased from $23.03 at December 31, 2023 to $21.12 at September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the common stock issued in the Merger and purchase accounting marks recorded through shareholders' equity as a result of the Merger. See "Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Measures."
The Company routinely evaluates its capital levels in light of its risk profile to assess its capital needs. The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank was considered well-capitalized under applicable banking regulations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies, including financial holding companies.
Note 13, Shareholders' Equity and Regulatory Capital, to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1, "Financial Information," includes a table presenting capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
In addition to the minimum capital ratio requirement and minimum capital ratio to be well-capitalized presented in the referenced table in Note 13, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer as more fully described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, Item 1 - Business, under the topic Basel III Capital Rules. At September 30, 2024, the Bank's capital conservation buffer, based on the most restrictive Total Capital to risk weighted assets capital ratio, was 4.2%, which is greater than the 2.5% requirement.
Liquidity
The primary function of asset/liability management is to ensure adequate liquidity and manage the Company's sensitivity to changing interest rates. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of clients who may be either depositors wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. The Company's primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh and maturities and prepayments of investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
The Company regularly adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon its assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and investment securities and the objectives of its asset/liability management policy. The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents.
At September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $236.8 million compared to $65.2 million at December 31, 2023, which reflects the increase in deposits of $2.1 billion and net income of $8.4 million, partially offset by the decrease in borrowings of $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Unencumbered investment securities totaled $90.3 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $73.7 million at December 31, 2023. At September 30, 2024, the Company had $16.5 million of investment securities pledged at the FRB Discount Window, with no associated borrowings outstanding, compared to $17.4 million at December 31, 2023. The Company's maximum borrowing capacity from the FHLB of Pittsburgh was $1.1 billion at both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, of which $118.2 million and $138.7 million in advances and letters of credit were outstanding at these same periods, respectively. In addition, the Company had $20.0 million in available unsecured lines of credit with other banks at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Bank tested its various sources of funding during 2024 to ensure accessibility.

Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Measures
Management believes providing certain "non-GAAP" financial information will assist investors in their understanding of the effect on recent financial results from non-recurring charges.
As a result of prior acquisitions, the Company had intangible assets consisting of goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets totaling $116.8 million and $21.1 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred merger-related expenses of $17.0 million and $18.8 million, respectively, in connection with the Merger with Codorus Valley. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred other non-recurring charges totaling $20.3 million.
Tangible book value per share and the impact of the merger-related expenses on net income and diluted earnings per share, as used by the Company in this supplemental reporting presentation, is determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. While we believe this information is a useful supplement to GAAP-based measures presented in this Form 10-Q, readers are cautioned that this non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results and financial condition as reported under GAAP, nor are such measures necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to be determined in accordance with GAAP.
The decrease in tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024 is primarily due to the common stock issued to acquire Codorus Valley of $233.4 million and dividends paid of $8.7 million, partially offset by other comprehensive income, net of taxes, of $12.6 million and net income of $8.4 million. Other comprehensive income increased due to net unrealized gains on AFS securities partially offset by net unrealized losses on interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments.
The following table presents the computation of each non-GAAP based measure shown together with its most directly comparable GAAP-based measure.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk comprises exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and other relevant market rate or price risks. In the banking industry, a major risk exposure is changing interest rates. The primary objective of monitoring our interest rate sensitivity, or risk, is to provide management the tools necessary to manage the balance sheet to minimize adverse changes in net interest income as a result of changes in the direction and level of interest rates. FRB monetary control efforts, the effects of deregulation, economic uncertainty and legislative changes have been significant factors affecting the task of managing interest rate sensitivity positions in recent years.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the exposure to fluctuations in the Bank's future earnings (earnings at risk) and value (value at risk) resulting from changes in interest rates. This exposure results from differences between the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that reprice within a specified time period as a result of scheduled maturities, scheduled and unscheduled repayments, the propensity of borrowers and depositors to react to changes in their economic interests and loan contractual interest rate changes.
We attempt to manage the level of repricing and maturity mismatch through our asset/liability management process so that fluctuations in net interest income are maintained within policy limits across a range of market conditions, while satisfying liquidity and capital requirements. Management recognizes that a certain amount of interest rate risk is inherent, appropriate and necessary to ensure the Bank's profitability. Thus, the goal of interest rate risk management is to evaluate the amount of reward for taking risk and adjusting both the size and composition of the balance sheet relative to the level of reward available for taking risk.
Management endeavors to control the exposure to changes in interest rates by understanding, reviewing and making decisions based on its risk position. The Bank primarily uses its investment securities portfolio, FHLB advances, interest rate swaps and brokered deposits to manage its interest rate risk position. Additionally, pricing, promotion and product development activities are directed in an effort to emphasize the loan and deposit term or repricing characteristics that best meet current interest rate risk objectives.
We use simulation analysis to assess earnings at risk and net present value analysis to assess value at risk. These methods allow management to regularly monitor both the direction and magnitude of our interest rate risk exposure. These analyses require numerous assumptions including, but not limited to, changes in balance sheet mix, prepayment rates on loans and investment securities, cash flows and repricing of all financial instruments, changes in volumes and pricing, future shapes of the yield curve, relationship of market interest rates to each other (basis risk), credit spread and deposit sensitivity. Assumptions are based on management's best estimates but may not accurately reflect actual results under certain changes in interest rates due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors. However, the analyses are useful in quantifying risk and providing a relative gauge of our interest rate risk position over time.
85
Table of Contents
Our Asset/Liability Committee operates under management policies, approved by the Board of Directors, which define guidelines and limits on the level of risk. The committee meets regularly and reviews our interest rate risk position and monitors various liquidity ratios to ensure a satisfactory liquidity position. By utilizing our analyses, we can determine changes that may need to be made to the asset and liability mixes to mitigate the change in net interest income under various interest rate scenarios. Management continually evaluates the condition of the economy, the pattern of market interest rates and other economic data to inform the committee on the selection of investment securities. Regulatory authorities also monitor our interest rate risk position along with other liquidity ratios.
Net Interest Income Sensitivity
Simulation analysis evaluates the effect of upward and downward changes in market interest rates on future net interest income. The analysis involves changing the interest rates used in determining net interest income over the next twelve months. The resulting percentage change in net interest income in various rate scenarios is an indication of our short-term interest rate risk. The analysis assumes recent pricing trends in new loan and deposit volumes will continue while balances remain constant. Additional assumptions are applied to modify pricing under the various rate scenarios.
The simulation analysis results are presented in the table below. At September 30, 2024, the balance sheet is asset sensitive and assets are now expected to reprice faster over the next twelve months than in prior models. The change was driven by the Merger as the assets acquired are shorter term in maturity and repricing characteristics. The funding profile is characterized similarly to the original portfolio where shorter term certificate of deposit balances had grown due to the interest rate environment, but also contain significant non-maturity deposits as well. Through the consolidation of the two portfolios, we anticipate changes to the mix of the asset and liability profiles.
Economic Value
Net present value analysis provides information on the risk inherent in the balance sheet that might not be considered in the simulation analysis due to the short time horizon used in that analysis. The net present value of the balance sheet incorporates the discounted present value of expected asset cash flows minus the discounted present value of expected liability cash flows. The analysis involves changing the interest rates used in determining the expected cash flows and in discounting the cash flows. The resulting percentage change in net present value in various rate scenarios is an indication of the longer term repricing risk and options embedded in the balance sheet.
Funding cost, the level of interest rates, infrastructure cost and repricing speed will continue to be a factor in the results of the model. The behavior of the business and retail clients also varies across the rate scenarios, which is reflected in the results but will continue to be refined through the combination of the two balance sheets. To improve the comparability across periods, the Bank strives to follow best practices related to the assumption setting and maintains the size and mix of the period end balance sheet; thus, the results do not reflect actions management may take through the normal course of business that would impact results.
