SHIPPENSBURG, Pa., April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. ("Orrstown" or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ORRF), the parent company of Orrstown Bank (the “Bank”), announced earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net income totaled $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared with $10.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and $5.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Diluted earnings per share totaled $0.92 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared with $0.91 in the three months ended December 31, 2020 and $0.46 in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Thomas R. Quinn, Jr., President & CEO, commented, “The first quarter of 2021 proves that strategic investments in technology, geographic diversity and topflight talent can drive favorable results for shareholders. The momentum from the fourth quarter of 2020 carried over to 2021. Our associates responded to the call to originate another round of PPP loans with a steadfast dedication to their clients and the Company. During the quarter, we originated almost 2,400 PPP loans for close to $184 million aiding greater than 23,000 employees of those clients. Once again, we were able to generate a substantial amount of new client relationships, which we look forward to deepening over time. Mortgage volumes continued to be robust during the first quarter of 2020. Asset quality remained strong, resulting in negative provision expense for the quarter.”

Mr. Quinn continued, “As more businesses open over the course of the year, including our own branches, we expect economic activity to accelerate. That said, there remain headwinds. Many companies and consumers have excess liquidity, putting pressure on loan demand and making loan pricing highly competitive. The low interest rate environment will continue to impact our reinvestment rates, adding pressure to our net interest margin. We remain confident that we can partially offset these negative factors through the combined impact of increased fee revenue and expense control. To enhance these efforts, the Company remains open to hiring experienced income producers with existing books of business who fit in with Orrstown’s ‘client-first’ culture.”

COVID-19 UPDATE

As previously reported, Orrstown launched an internal Pandemic Response Team to develop and implement a comprehensive, over-arching strategy aimed at mitigating the potential spread of COVID-19, and effectively helping and serving clients. Orrstown has re-opened branch lobbies in all locations after several months of performing transactions via drive-thru lanes or scheduled appointments. The Company continues to operate most of its core operations in a remote work environment. Orrstown’s Pandemic Response Team meets regularly to ensure mitigation efforts and policies are in place, as well as ensuring that the organization is strongly positioned moving forward.

Loss Mitigation

Management has continued numerous proactive loan portfolio efforts throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, including quarterly contact with commercial loan clients having $1.0 million or more in exposure and many with lower exposure, providing loan payment deferrals for consumer and business clients of up to six months, actively participating in the SBA PPP, performing stress testing of higher risk concentrations in the loan portfolio and implementing tighter underwriting for new loans. With our primary markets re-opening and accommodating greater levels of capacity, combined with new government stimulus programs announced in the first quarter of 2021 adding additional support to the economy, the Bank has not experienced any negative impact to credit trends.

The Bank is also actively consulting with clients that applied for and received SBA PPP loans. At March 31, 2021, the Bank had $516.9 million outstanding principal for such loans, of which $333.3 million remains from 2020 originations. For the 2020 originations, forgiveness has occurred on $134.1 million of the balance. The program provides that the principal balance (or a reduced portion thereof) and accrued interest on these loans may be forgiven if the borrower satisfies certain specified criteria. The combination of active client relationship consultation, loan payment deferrals, increased risk management focus on higher risk loan concentrations (primarily hotels and restaurants) and significant client participation in the SBA PPP have contributed to the favorable delinquency and charge-off trends we have experienced during the pandemic. As there remains uncertainty in the economic environment, charge-offs may increase in the coming quarters if the re-opening of the economy is delayed and business activity does not accelerate as expected. In addition, other unforeseen factors may arise which impact the Bank’s loan portfolio and cause higher levels of charge-offs which require provisioning.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Balance Sheet

Loans

Net loans grew by $65.3 million from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 due to new SBA PPP originations offset by runoff in all other portfolios as loan demand was generally weak. Commercial loans, excluding SBA PPP loans, declined by $10.2 million, or 4% annualized, from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 as loan demand weakened and our relationship managers focused on the origination of $174.2 million of new SBA PPP loans, net of deferred fees and costs. Historically, the Company has experienced less activity in the first quarter of every year and, this year, the month of February saw heavy snow further depressing commercial activity. When executing a relationship lending strategy, originations will be inconsistent at times due to sensitivity to market conditions. The Bank is committed to remaining disciplined in its underwriting decisions. We believe that loan demand will improve in the coming spring and summer months as businesses rebound with COVID restrictions being lifted, and the economy expected to commence its recovery from last year’s recession.

SBA PPP loans grew during the quarter by $102.1 million to $504.3 million, net of deferred fees and costs. We expect the 2020 SBA PPP loans to continue to runoff for the remainder of 2021. We expect that SBA PPP loan originations in 2021 will total more than $200 million with an estimated $11 million in processing fees to be earned over the five-year life of the loans or upon forgiveness. These loans have a modestly higher yield than the 2020 originations given the smaller loan size and modified fee schedule for the 2021 originations. Our initial estimate is that the 2021 loans will begin to achieve forgiveness later in 2021 and that most of these 2021 originations will achieve forgiveness by the end of 2022.

With recent increases in long term interest rates, the Bank experienced increased refinance demand as clients demand to lock-in rates on residential mortgage loans was strong. The Bank had a record month for number of closed residential mortgage loans in March 2021 as a result of the 81 basis point rise in the 10-year treasury in the quarter. Despite the strong month of March, residential mortgage loans on the balance sheet declined by $24 million, or 23% annualized in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The ongoing strategy continues to involve increasing retention of residential mortgage loans in the portfolio to offset runoff, and more progress is expected as the year progresses. Consumer loans also declined by $9 million, or 17% annualized, to $200 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Despite the slow start to the year, overall loan growth in 2021 excluding SBA PPP is expected to be low single digits with higher single digits for commercial lending.

Deposits

Deposits grew by $190.2 million, or 32% annualized, to $2.5 billion at March 31, 2021 from $2.4 billion at December 31, 2020. A surge of deposit growth occurred in the first quarter of 2021 from government stimulus payments to consumers and government entities as well as from new SBA PPP loan disbursements. As a result, non-interest demand deposits grew by $91 million in the first quarter of 2021, or 80% annualized, while interest bearing checking rose $63 million or 29% annualized. The Bank also had money market and savings account growth of $42 million or 27% annualized for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Certificates of deposit declined another $6 million from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021, or 6% annualized. Time deposit maturities were elevated in 2020 primarily due to the Hamilton Bank merger. As much of these certificates of deposit have now matured, the runoff is expected to continue at a slower pace. Deposits are up by $650 million, or 34%, from March 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 due to the impacts of low rates, government stimulus efforts and SBA PPP. Over the long term, when interest rates return to more normal levels and the government pulls back on stimulus efforts, some of the deposit growth that has been seen since 2020 will reverse as clients deploy their excess liquidity to meet their needs. The Bank has very strong liquidity and will continue to target a loan-to-deposit ratio of 90%.

During 2020, the Bank announced or completed 11 branch consolidations, representing 30% of total branch locations at December 31, 2019. The Bank completed the most recent consolidations in January 2021 and now has 26 locations. Because of these efforts combined with the deposit drivers noted above, the average branch deposit size has increased from $51 million at December 31, 2019 to $98 million at March 31, 2021, which is an increase of 92%.

Other

Investments fell by $59.0 million to $418.0 million at March 31, 2021 as compared to $477.0 million at December 31, 2020 due to portfolio runoff and the sale of securities. Due to improvements in the capital markets, the Bank strategically exited its entire non-agency CMBS portfolio of $62.2 million. Longer term, the Bank intends to shrink its investment portfolio and reallocate capital to relationship lending strategies. The external environment with tightening credit spreads presented the Bank with an opportunity to accelerate this strategy and these sales were executed in March 2021. Proceeds from the sales will be deployed into agency backed securities and taxable municipal bonds given the elevated level of liquidity and it is anticipated that there will be minimal impact to forward net interest income once reinvestment is complete in the second quarter of 2021. See Appendix C for a summary of the current investment portfolio that highlights the concentrations, quality and credit enhancement levels for the portfolio.

Income Statement

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income declined to $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the elevated level of $23.7 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020. The net interest margin remained solid at 3.38% but was down from 3.73% in the fourth quarter of 2020. Net interest margin reduction was primarily a result of lower purchase accounting accretion (14 basis points), lower prepayment penalty income (four basis points), lower SBA PPP processing fee accretion (seven basis points) and an increase in excess cash (four basis points).

SBA PPP loans had an average outstanding balance of $463.0 million and yielded 3.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2021. This yield decreased from the fourth quarter of 2020 level of 4.3% due to forgiveness related volatility. As of March 31, 2021, 78% of the total $13.5 million in net deferred SBA PPP fees from 2020 originations have been earned. An additional $9.5 million of processing fees were recorded in the first quarter of 2021. The remaining fees are expected to be earned in the coming years upon SBA forgiveness of the loans. While there continues to be uncertainty, we expect a significant portion of the 2020 SBA PPP origination balances to achieve forgiveness or be paid off by the end of 2021, and we believe most of the 2021 originations will achieve forgiveness or be paid off by the end of 2022.

Balance sheet mix improvement efforts have been continuous and will remain a focus in the Bank’s efforts to improve its return on average assets. In the loan portfolio, commercial loans rose by $91.9 million while residential loans fell by $23.9 million and investments fell by $59.0 million. Additionally, the funding mix improved as non-interest demand deposits rose by $91.0 million, interest bearing demand deposits rose by $29 million, money market and savings rose by $42.2 million and certificates of deposit fell by $5.8 million from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021. The mix improvement and repricing actions by management led to a deposit cost reduction, excluding time deposits, of another 10 basis points in the first quarter of 2021 to 0.23% which is down from 0.93% in the first quarter of 2020.

Excess liquidity is increasing which will most likely negatively impact the margin in the short term. This increase is estimated to be temporary and is attributable to a combination of low interest rates and extraordinary government stimulus efforts. We expect that this excess liquidity will exit the banking system in the future. Our objective of emphasizing balance sheet mix is expected to lead to a higher net interest margin over the long-term. These efforts may mute growth in assets but should lead to growth in net interest income, earnings and return on assets. It is anticipated that the net interest margin will be under pressure in 2021 due to excess liquidity combined with low interest rates forecasted for the remainder of the year, coupled with an asset sensitive balance sheet. We believe that our efforts on balance sheet mix enhancement, SBA PPP lending and fee income generation will be effective to manage through the current challenging external environment.

Provision for loan losses

We continue to see favorable asset quality trends and most loans that we placed on payment deferral have resumed paying status. The allowance for loan losses totaled $19.0 million at March 31, 2021, compared with $20.2 million at December 31, 2020. Total classified loans decreased by $0.7 million, or 2%, to $32.4 million from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021. The Bank had active COVID-19 related deferred loans totaling $7.5 million, or 0.49% of its total loan portfolio, excluding PPP loans as of March 31, 2021. This compared to $18.2 million or 1.15% of total loans, excluding PPP loans at December 31, 2020, and $239.3 million, or 15.1% of total loans, excluding PPP loans, at June 30, 2020.

Asset quality metrics remain solid with net charge offs of $0.2 million, or .01% of total non-SBA PPP loans at March 31, 2021. Net recoveries of $0.1 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020. Nonperforming loans decreased by $0.4 million from $10.3 million at December 31, 2020 to $9.9 million at March 31, 2021 and totaled 0.48% of gross loans at March 31, 2021, compared with 0.52% of gross loans at December 31, 2020. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 192% at March 31, 2021. Management believes the allowance for loan losses to be adequate based on current asset quality metrics.

Given these positive trends and the sustained performance of the loan portfolio, there was a provision reversal of $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $0.3 million of provision expense recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2020 and $0.9 million of provision expense recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2020. While there remains uncertainty in the external environment regarding the relative strength of the economy once it fully reopens, management determined that a release of a portion of its COVID-19 qualitative reserve is appropriate, given the satisfactory performance of borrowers in the commercial portfolio, considering the amount of deferrals that have resumed making regular monthly payments. Accordingly, the qualitative factor within the allowance designated for the impact of COVID-19, was lowered by $0.8 million from December 31, 2020 to $1.8 million at March 31, 2021.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $7.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with $7.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 and $7.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. In light of the historically low interest rate environment, management has focused on enhancing fee revenue to offset potential net interest margin compression. Specific focus has been on deploying resources to capture mortgage refinance and purchase activity, greater share of debit card interchange income, interest rate swap transactions for commercial clients and treasury management services while expanding wealth management offerings into growth markets.

Total wealth management income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 grew to $2.7 million, as compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. Strong market conditions helped to drive income along with the addition of new clients. The Bank continues to expand in growth markets and there continues to be opportunities for growth over the long-term but this business is built one relationship at a time.

Debit card interchange income totaled $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2021 which is up $0.1 million from the prior quarter and up $0.2 million from the first quarter of 2020. The Bank has run some promotions in recent quarters and is focusing more sales efforts in this service which is leading to an increase in activity. Other service charge income continues to be weak due primarily to lower overdraft fees resulting from higher than normal checking account balances due to government stimulus payments.

Mortgage banking income rose $0.8 million from the fourth quarter of 2020 to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to a $0.6 million mortgage servicing rights valuation allowance reduction and resilient loan sale activity. Mortgage loans sold totaled $57.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared with $60.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 and $22.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Bank services $464.0 million of loans for others, which is up by $22.9 million from December 31, 2020.

With weak commercial real estate loan demand, loan swap fees fell to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to $0.3 million in the previous linked quarter. These fees are derived from interest rate hedges for commercial real estate clients.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expense declined by $0.3 million to $17.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the three months ended December 31, 2020. Salaries & benefits fell by $0.8 million due to lower incentive expenses, favorable healthcare claims experience and lower wages due to the full impact of cost savings initiatives announced in 2020. Occupancy expense increased slightly by $0.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2020 due to higher snow removal costs. While expense control and efficiency are important in the near term, the Bank will continue to invest in top talent as needed to build the revenues of the Bank and to maintain a solid foundation for the future.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was 19.1% compared with 19.7% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company's effective tax rate is less than the 21% federal statutory rate due to tax-exempt income, including interest earned on tax-exempt loans and securities and income from life insurance policies, as well as tax credits.

Capital

Shareholders’ equity totaled $254.4 million at March 31, 2021, an increase of $8.2 million from $246.2 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to net income recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2021 offset by dividends paid in the period. Tangible book value per share grew from $16.53 per share at March 31, 2020 to $20.59 per share at March 31, 2021, reflecting an increase of 25%.

The Company's tangible common equity ratio declined from 8.1% at December 31, 2020 to 7.8% at March 31, 2021 due to SBA PPP originations. The Company's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.1% at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company's total risk-based capital ratio increased from 15.6% at December 31, 2020 to 16.3% at March 31, 2021. With new originations of SBA PPP loans in the first quarter of 2021 and an increase in excess cash, the Bank's tier 1 leverage ratio is expected to trend slightly lower, but still well above that required to be considered "well-capitalized" under applicable regulatory requirements. Given that the growth in assets is in assets with low regulatory risk weights, all of the risk-based ratios are expected to remain strong. Once the excess liquidity exits the banking system and the SBA PPP loans exit the balance sheet, the leverage ratio should revert to a more normal level. Internal capital generation has been strong over the previous two quarters due to strong earnings. The dividend payout ratio totaled 20%. The Company continues to believe that capital is adequate at this time to support the risks inherent in the balance sheet, as well as growth requirements.

Appendix B- Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Measures and GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

As a result of acquisitions, the Company has intangible assets consisting of goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets totaling $23.8 million and $24.2 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 in charges associated with branch consolidation efforts.

Management believes providing certain “non-GAAP” financial information will assist investors in their understanding of the effect of acquisition activity on reported results, particularly to overcome comparability issues related to the influence of intangibles (principally goodwill) created in acquisitions. Management also believes providing certain other “non-GAAP” financial information will assist investors in their understanding of the effect on recent financial results of non-recurring charges associated with increasing operational efficiencies for the long-term.

Tangible book value per share, net interest margin excluding the impact of purchase accounting, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted non-interest expenses, as used by the Company in this earnings release, are determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). While we believe this information is a useful supplement to GAAP based measures presented in this earnings release, 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 following tables present the computation of each non-GAAP based measure:

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements:

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of the Company's management with respect to, among other things, future events and the Company's financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “goal,” “target,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative variations of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company's industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, the Company cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to continue to successfully execute on its strategic growth plan into Dauphin, Lancaster, York and Berks counties, Pennsylvania, and the greater Baltimore market in Maryland, with newer markets continuing to be receptive to our community banking model; to take advantage of market disruption; to experience sustained growth in loans and deposits or maintain the momentum experienced to date from these actions; and to realize cost savings from our branch consolidation efforts. In addition to risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting governmental and societal responses, factors which could cause the actual results of the Company's operations to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: ineffectiveness of the Company's strategic growth plan due to changes in current or future market conditions; the effects of competition and how it may impact our community banking model, including industry consolidation and development of competing financial products and services; the integration of the Company's strategic acquisitions; the inability to fully achieve expected savings, efficiencies or synergies from mergers and acquisitions, or taking longer than estimated for such savings, efficiencies and synergies to be realized; changes in laws and regulations; interest rate movements; changes in credit quality; inability to raise capital, if necessary, under favorable conditions; volatility in the securities markets; deteriorating economic conditions; expenses associated with pending litigation and legal proceedings; the failure of the SBA to honor its guarantee of loans issued under the SBA PPP; the timing of the repayment of SBA PPP loans and the impact it has on fee recognition; our ability to convert new relationships gained through the SBA PPP efforts to full banking relationships; and other risks and uncertainties, including those set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.

If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materializes, or if the Company's underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what the Company anticipates. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict those events or how they may affect it. In addition, the Company cannot assess the impact of each factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that the Company or persons acting on the Company's behalf may issue.

The review period for subsequent events extends up to and includes the filing date of a public company’s financial statements, when filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the consolidated financial information presented in this announcement is subject to change.
