Key Financial Highlights
The following table summarizes the company's key profitability metrics for the reported periods:
| Metric: | Q2 2026 | Q1 2026 | Q2 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net Income: | $21.2 million | $21.8 million | $19.4 million |
| Diluted EPS: | $1.09 | $1.12 | $1.01 |
| Return on Average Assets: | 1.53% | 1.59% | 1.45% |
| Return on Average Equity: | 13.96% | 14.76% | 14.56% |
| Net Interest Margin (TE): | 3.87% | 3.90% | 4.07% |
| Efficiency Ratio: | 60.1% | 56.9% | 60.3% |
| Tangible Book Value/Share: | $26.71 | $25.76 | $22.77 |
Return on average assets was 1.53% and return on average equity was 13.96% for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.87% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 3.90% in the first quarter of 2026. Excluding the accelerated amortization of the fair value mark on the redeemed subordinated notes, the adjusted net interest margin was 4.00% for the second quarter of 2026.
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income was $48.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $49.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily driven by the accelerated amortization of the remaining $1.6 million fair value mark on the subordinated notes redeemed on June 30, 2026. On that date, the company redeemed $31.0 million of outstanding 4.50% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes originally assumed from Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. on July 1, 2024; at the time of redemption, the notes carried an interest rate of 7.72%. A decrease of eight basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits during the second quarter of 2026 partially offset the impact of the amortization charge.
Interest income on loans, on a tax equivalent basis, increased by $0.3 million to $63.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $63.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Interest income on investment securities, on a tax equivalent basis, was $11.1 million for both the second and first quarters of 2026.
Loan Growth and Credit Quality
Loans held for investment increased by $51.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, totaling $4.1 billion at both June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026. Residential mortgages increased by $32.8 million, or approximately 16% annualized, of which $17.1 million were home equities, while commercial loans increased by $18.9 million, or approximately 2% annualized, from March 31, 2026 to June 30, 2026.
Credit quality metrics improved during the quarter, as shown in the table below:
| Credit Quality Metric: | June 30, 2026 | March 31, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL): | $46.6 million | $47.5 million |
| ACL to Total Loans: | 1.13% | 1.17% |
| Nonaccrual Loans: | $23.8 million | $30.0 million |
| Nonaccrual Loans to Total Loans: | 0.58% | 0.74% |
| Classified Loans: | $49.2 million | $57.6 million |
| Net Charge-offs: | $1.2 million | $0.9 million |
| ACL to Nonaccrual Loans: | 196% | 158% |
Classified loans decreased by $8.4 million, primarily due to repayments of $7.8 million. The $6.2 million decrease in nonaccrual loans was driven by repayments of $6.9 million, which included $4.2 million in commercial and land development loans that were on nonaccrual status and risk rated as substandard. The provision for credit losses on loans was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Noninterest Income and Expenses
Noninterest income was $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The sequential decline was primarily attributable to $2.4 million in income from life insurance policy death benefits recorded in the first quarter of 2026. Wealth management income increased by $0.3 million to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Swap fee income decreased by $0.6 million to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Noninterest expenses increased by $1.0 million to $37.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $36.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026. Salaries and benefits expense increased by $1.0 million to $22.2 million, driven by merit salary increases in May, higher healthcare costs, and the impact of one additional calendar day compared to the prior quarter. Occupancy, furniture and equipment expense decreased by $0.3 million to $3.9 million, reflecting seasonal expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2026.
Capital Position
Shareholders' equity totaled $621.7 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $603.2 million at March 31, 2026. The increase of $18.5 million was primarily due to net income of $21.2 million, other comprehensive income of $1.9 million, and share-based compensation activity of $1.3 million, partially offset by dividends of $5.9 million. Tangible book value per common share increased to $26.71 at June 30, 2026 from $25.76 at March 31, 2026, and the tangible common equity ratio improved to 9.5% of total tangible assets from 9.2%.
The company's regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2026 are summarized below:
| Capital Ratio: | June 30, 2026 | March 31, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 Common Equity (Company): | 12.0% | 11.8% |
| Tier 1 Capital (Company): | 12.2% | 12.0% |
| Total Risk-Based Capital (Company): | 13.2% | 13.5% |
| Tier 1 Leverage (Company): | 10.1% | 9.7% |
All four capital ratios applicable to the company were above regulatory minimum levels to be deemed "well capitalized" under current bank regulatory guidelines at June 30, 2026. The total risk-based capital ratio declined over the period due to the redemption of subordinated debt. The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.30 per common share, payable August 11, 2026, to shareholders of record as of August 4, 2026. The company's effective tax rate was 14.2% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 20.7% for the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to the purchase of federal income tax credits, which reduced income tax expense by $1.6 million.
