(“Salisbury”), (NASDAQ Capital Market: “SAL”), the holding company for Salisbury Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2021. Net income available to common shareholders was $4.5 million, or $1.59 per basic common share, for Salisbury’s first quarter ended March 31, 2021 (first quarter 2021), compared with $2.8 million, or $0.99 per basic common share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020 (fourth quarter 2020), and $2.0 million, or $0.72 per basic common share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 (first quarter 2020). Salisbury’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Cantele, Jr., stated, “Thanks to the continued dedication and commitment of our employees, we are pleased to report record results for the quarter. Asset quality remains strong and the economic climate in the markets in which we operate is expected to continue to improve as the vaccine rollout gains momentum. We continued to support our customers and local communities during the first quarter by processing an additional 435 loan applications for $47 million under the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Since the inception of the program, we have processed nearly 1,400 loan applications for aggregate loans approaching $150 million. In addition, we strengthened our capital base through a $25 million subordinated debt offering on extremely favorable terms, and our Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program, which authorizes Salisbury to repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding common shares. We are well-positioned to grow our franchise and continue to meet the needs of our customers. We remain committed to providing outstanding customer service and supporting our local communities.” Net Interest and Dividend Income Tax equivalent net interest income of $10.5 million for the first quarter 2021 increased $527 thousand, or 5.3%, versus fourth quarter 2020, and increased $1.6 million, or 17.5%, versus first quarter 2020. Tax equivalent interest income of $11.3 million for first quarter 2021 increased $320 thousand, or 2.9%, versus fourth quarter 2020 and increased $381 thousand, or 3.5%, from first quarter 2020. First quarter 2021 interest income included PPP fees and interest of $1.3 million compared with $855 thousand in fourth quarter 2020. The cost of interest bearing liabilities of $746 thousand for first quarter 2021 decreased $207 thousand, or 21.8%, compared to fourth quarter 2020 and declined $1.2 million, or 61.4% from first quarter 2020. Average earning assets of $1.3 billion for first quarter 2021 were essentially unchanged from fourth quarter 2020, and increased $194.2 million, or 18.3%, versus first quarter 2020. Average earning assets for first quarter 2021 included average PPP loan balances of $92.8 million, net of deferred fees. Average total interest bearing liabilities of $0.9 billion for first quarter 2021 were essentially unchanged from fourth quarter 2020 and increased $97.5 million, or 12.7%, versus first quarter 2020. The increase from first quarter 2020 primarily reflected the funding of PPP loans. The tax equivalent net interest margin for first quarter 2021 was 3.34% compared with 3.17% for fourth quarter 2020 and 3.35% for first quarter 2020. Excluding the impact of PPP loans, the tax equivalent net interest margin for first quarter 2021 was 3.16% compared with 3.13% for fourth quarter 2020.

See SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION – Net Interest and Dividend Income on page 8 on this release for additional details. Non-Interest Income Non-interest income of $2.8 million for first quarter 2021 increased $365 thousand versus fourth quarter 2020 and increased $596 thousand versus first quarter 2020. Trust and Wealth Advisory fees of $1.1 million for first quarter 2021 increased $80 thousand from fourth quarter 2020 and increased $116 thousand versus first quarter 2020. The increase from first quarter 2020 primarily reflected higher asset-based fees. Assets under administration were $902.1 million at March 31, 2021 compared with $944.3 million at December 31, 2020 and $639.5 million at March 31, 2020. Discretionary assets under administration of $578.2 million in first quarter 2021 increased from $555.0 million in fourth quarter 2020 and $425.4 million in first quarter 2020 primarily due to higher market valuations. Non-discretionary assets under administration of $323.9 million in first quarter 2021 declined from $389.4 million in fourth quarter 2020 and increased from $214.1 million in first quarter 2020. The decline from fourth quarter 2020 reflected a lower valuation of shares in a partnership for one significant client relationship, and the increase from first quarter 2020 was due to the addition of partnership assets under administration for the same client relationship. The trust and wealth business records only a nominal annual fee on this relationship. Service charges and fees of $0.9 million for first quarter 2021 increased $92 thousand versus fourth quarter 2020 and increased $45 thousand versus first quarter 2020. The increase from fourth quarter 2020 primarily reflected an additional two months of deposit fees as such fees were reinstated in late November 2020. The increase from first quarter 2020 primarily reflected higher interchange fees partially offset by lower deposit fees. Income from mortgage sales and servicing increased $169 thousand versus fourth quarter 2020 and increased $480 thousand versus first quarter 2020. The increase from the prior periods reflected a higher sales volume of residential mortgage loans to the FHLB Boston. Non-interest income for the first quarter 2021 included BOLI income of $125 thousand compared to $110 thousand in fourth quarter 2020 and $134 thousand in first quarter 2020. Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense of $7.3 million for first quarter 2021 decreased $794 thousand versus fourth quarter 2020 and increased $323 thousand versus first quarter 2020. Compensation expense of $4.2 million for first quarter 2021 decreased $529 thousand from fourth quarter 2020 and increased $217 thousand versus first quarter 2020. The decline from fourth quarter 2020 primarily reflected lower salaries, production, and incentive accruals as well as higher deferred loan origination expenses related to the processing of PPP loans. The increase from first quarter 2020 primarily reflected higher salary, production and incentive accruals, partly offset by higher deferred loan origination expenses related to the processing of PPP loans. Excluding compensation, other non-interest expenses for first quarter 2021 declined $265 thousand from fourth quarter 2020 and increased $106 thousand from first quarter 2020. The decline from fourth quarter 2020 primarily reflected lower premises and equipment and marketing expenses. The increase from first quarter 2020 primarily reflected higher professional fees, higher FDIC insurance costs and higher lending related costs. The effective income tax rates for first quarter 2021, fourth quarter 2020 and first quarter 2020 were 21.6%, 17.5% and 14.4%, respectively. The higher tax rate in first quarter 2021 primarily reflected a lower mix of tax-exempt income from municipal bonds, tax advantaged loans and bank-owned life insurance on a comparatively higher level of pre-tax income. Loans Gross loans receivable of $1.1 billion increased $13.6 million from December 31, 2020, and increased $95.3 million from $959.8 million at March 31, 2020. Commercial & industrial loan growth during first quarter 2021 reflected the origination of approximately $47 million of additional PPP loans, partly offset by the forgiveness of approximately $36 million of PPP loans by the SBA. At March 31, 2021 Salisbury had PPP loans, net of deferred fees, of approximately $94 million on its balance sheet compared with approximately $85 million at December 31, 2020. The decline in residential real estate balances reflected the sale of $21.3 million of loans to the FHLB Boston during first quarter 2021 as part of the Bank’s strategy to manage interest rate risk. The ratio of gross loans to deposits for first quarter 2021 was 87.1% compared with 92.2% for fourth quarter 2020 and 99.4% for first quarter 2020. Balances by loan type for the comparative periods were as follows: Loan Type Q1 2021 Q4 2020 Q1 2020Residential Real Estate $418,991 $425,677 $432,241Commercial Real Estate 341,142 342,563 321,358Commercial & Industrial 249,357 227,148 157,573Farm Land 3,606 3,198 3,612Vacant Land 13,228 14,079 14,488Municipal 21,495 21,512 20,964Consumer 8,617 7,687 8,195Deferred (Fees)/Cost (1,365) (372) 1,329Gross Loans Receivable $1,055,071 $1,041,492 $959,760 Asset Quality In March 2020, Salisbury implemented a loan payment deferral program which allowed residential, commercial and consumer borrowers, who have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, to defer loan payments for up to three months. Customers may also apply for additional deferments. As of March 31, 2021, loan payments were deferred on 14 commercial loans ($27 million loan balance). There were no outstanding deferrals related to residential and consumer loans as of March 31, 2021. Non-performing assets increased $58 thousand during the first quarter to $5.7 million, or 0.41% of total assets at March 31, 2021, from $5.6 million, or 0.44% of total assets at December 31, 2020, and increased $2.5 million from $3.2 million, or 0.28% of total assets, at March 31, 2020. The amount of total impaired and potential problem loans was $48.9 million or 4.64% of gross loans receivable at March 31, 2021 compared to $30.1 million, or 2.90% of gross loans receivable at December 31, 2020 and $28.1 million, or 2.93% of gross loans receivable at March 31, 2020. The increase from the comparative periods primarily reflected loans to certain borrowers in the hospitality and entertainment and recreation industries for which loan payments are currently deferred due to COVID-19. Accruing loans receivable 30-to-89 days past due decreased $4.5 million during first quarter 2021 to $2.4 million, or 0.23% of gross loans receivable, from $6.9 million, or 0.66% of gross loans receivable at December 31, 2020, and decreased $3.7 million from $6.1 million, or 0.64% of gross loans receivable at March 31, 2020. The allowance for loan losses for first quarter 2021 was $13.9 million compared with $13.8 million for fourth quarter 2020 and $10.6 million for first quarter 2020.The provision for loan loss expense was $158 thousand for first quarter 2021 versus $840 thousand for fourth quarter 2020, and $1.7 million for the first quarter 2020. The decrease in the provision versus comparative periods reflected management’s current assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Bank’s loan portfolio. Net loan charge-offs (recoveries) were $25 thousand for the first quarter 2021, $368 thousand for fourth quarter 2020 and ($17) thousand for the first quarter 2020. Reserve coverage, as measured by the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to gross loans, excluding PPP loans, was 1.45% for the first quarter 2021, versus 1.44% for the fourth quarter 2020 and 1.11% for the first quarter 2020. Similarly, reserve coverage, as measured by the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 243% for the first quarter 2021, versus 244% for fourth quarter 2020 and 333% for first quarter 2020. Salisbury endeavors to work constructively to resolve its non-performing loan issues with customers. Substantially all non-performing loans are collateralized with real estate and the repayment of such loans is largely dependent on the return of such loans to performing status or the liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral. Deposits and Borrowings Deposits were $1.2 billion at March 31, 2021 compared with $1.1 billion at December 31, 2020 and $965.6 million at March 31, 2020. The increase in deposits from fourth quarter 2020 of $82.1 million reflected the funding and forgiveness of PPP loans as well as other customer activity. Deposits at March 31, 2021 reflected brokered deposits, including CDARS one-way buys, of $18.0 consistent with December 31, 2020 and $58.2 million at March 31, 2020. Average total deposits for the first quarter 2021 were $1.2 billion compared with $1.1 billion for the fourth quarter 2020 and $949.5 million for the first quarter 2020. Average total deposits for the first quarter 2021 included average brokered deposits of $18.0 million consistent with fourth quarter 2020 and $33.3 million for first quarter 2020. Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLBB) advances decreased $1.2 million during the quarter to $11.4 million at March 31, 2021 and decreased $29.5 million from March 31, 2020. Salisbury’s excess borrowing capacity at FHLBB was approximately $248 million at March 31, 2021. Capital Shareholders’ equity increased $2.5 million in first quarter to $127.2 million at March 31, 2021 as net income of $4.5 million, and restricted stock activity of $0.2 million were partly offset by common stock dividends paid of $0.8 million and unrealized losses in the available-for-sale securities portfolio of $1.4 million. Book value per common share increased $0.84 during the first quarter 2021 to $44.72 per share and increased $3.67 from the first quarter 2020. Tangible book value per common share increased $0.87 during first quarter 2021 to $39.65 and increased $3.80 as compared to the first quarter 2020. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios remain in compliance with regulatory “well capitalized” requirements. At March 31, 2021, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage, total risk-based capital, and common equity tier 1 capital ratios were 9.83%, 14.58%, and 13.33%, respectively, compared with regulatory “well capitalized” minimums of 5.00%, 10.00%, and 6.5%, respectively. On March 31, 2021 Salisbury issued $25 million of subordinated debt that matures in 2031. During the first five years, the debt is non-callable, and the coupon is fixed at 3.50%. After year five, the coupon will float at the then three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 280 basis points. The proceeds, net of issuance costs, will be used for general corporate purposes, including the redemption of $10 million in outstanding subordinated debt, which Salisbury issued over five years ago at a higher coupon rate, as well as potential share repurchases pursuant to the Common Stock Repurchase Plan approved by the Board of Directors in March 2021. At March 31, 2021, $15 million of the net proceeds was retained at the holding company level and the remainder was allocated to the Bank. In March 2021, Salisbury announced that its Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase program, which provides for the repurchase of Salisbury’s common stock in amounts up to an aggregate of five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Salisbury’s common stock from time to time over the next twelve months. Dividend on Common Shares The Board of Directors of Salisbury approved a $0.01 increase in the quarterly dividend at its April 21, 2021 meeting. The quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per common share will be paid on May 28, 2021 to shareholders of record as of May 14, 2021.
