Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets on June 30, 2025 were $2.287 billion, up 4.1% from $2.198 billion on December 31, 2024. Significant changes in the balance sheet from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 include:

  • Debt securities available for sale decreased $27.3 million (5.4%) due primarily to paydowns.
  • Net loans increased $119.6 million (8.7%) over the year-end 2024 balance, primarily from an increase of $68.9 million in commercial real estate loans. As of June 30, 2025, commercial real estate (CRE) loans totaled $872.2 million with the largest collateral segments being: apartment buildings ($167.7 million), hotels and motels ($102.3 million), and office buildings ($92.8 million), primarily in the Bank's market area of south-central Pennsylvania. Of the total CRE portfolio, 41.0% was owner-occupied and 59.0% was non-owner occupied.
  • Total deposits increased $77.8 million (4.3%) from year-end 2024. The majority of the growth occurred in money management accounts, which was partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing checking and savings accounts. For the first six months of 2025, the cost of total deposits was 1.95%, but fell to 1.90% for the second quarter of 2025. On June 30, 2025, the Bank estimated that approximately 89% of its deposits were FDIC insured or collateralized.
  • Shareholders' equity increased $12.6 million to $157.4 million on June 30, 2025 from year-end 2024, and retained earnings increased $6.9 million, net of dividends of $2.9 million, over the same period. The accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCI) decreased $4.7 million during the first half of 2025 to $30.8 million. On June 30, 2025, the book value of the Corporation's common stock was $35.22 per share and tangible book value(1) increased $2.55 per share since December 31, 2024 to $33.20 per share. In January 2025, an open market repurchase plan was approved to repurchase 150,000 shares over a one-year period and 6,700 shares were repurchased in the first half of 2025 under the approved plan to fund the dividend reinvestment plan. The Bank is considered to be well-capitalized under regulatory guidance as of June 30, 2025.
  • Average interest-earning assets for the first six months of 2025 were $2.146 billion, compared to $1.929 billion for the same period in 2024, an increase of 11.2%. This increase occurred primarily in the loan portfolio which increased 13.2%, driven by a 15.4% ($111.2 million) increase in commercial real estate loans. The yield on earning assets increased from 5.10% in the first half of 2024 to 5.28% for the first six months of 2025 and was 5.30% for the second quarter of 2025. Total deposits averaged $1.852 billion for the first six months of 2025, an increase of $291.1 million (18.7%) over the average balance for the same period in 2024. The cost of total deposits increased from 1.74% for the first six months of 2024 to 1.95% for the first-six months of 2025, but the cost decreased to 1.90% for the second quarter of 2025.
  • Nonperforming loans increased during the second quarter as nonaccrual loans increased from $266 thousand on December 31, 2024, to $10.8 million on June 30, 2025. As a result, the nonperforming loan ratio increased from 0.02% as of December 31, 2024, to 0.71% on June 30, 2025. The nonaccrual loans are comprised primarily of two loans: 1) a $7.4 million construction loan on a mixed-use project, and 2) a $2.9 million hotel loan. The construction loan is current on payments as of June 30, 2025, and the hotel is scheduled for an auction sale in July 2025. Pending a successful auction, the net proceeds are expected to fully satisfy the loan. The allowance for credit loss to loans ratio was 1.26% on June 30, 2025, unchanged from December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses (ACL) for unfunded commitments was $2.0 million on June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

Income Statement Highlights - Second Quarter Comparison 2025 v. 2024

  • Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $5.9 million ($1.32 per diluted share) compared to $3.0 million ($0.66 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 94.8%.
  • Net interest income was $17.2 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $14.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $3.0 million or 21.3%. The improvement was driven primarily by an increase in interest income on the loan portfolio.
  • For the second quarter of 2025, the provision for credit losses on loans was $704 thousand compared to $560 for the same quarter of 2024. The increased provision for credit losses on loans was necessary due to growth in the loan portfolio.

  • Noninterest income totaled $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $4.4 million for the same quarter of 2024, an increase of 17.3%. The growth was due to an increase in wealth management fees, loan charges, and a refund on state sales taxes.
  • Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $14.4 million compared to $14.3 million for the second quarter of 2024 (an increase of 0.4%). Salaries and employee benefits increased period over period, but were partially offset by a decrease in marketing costs and other expenses.
  • The effective federal income tax rate was 19.3% for the second quarter of 2025 and 17.6% for the same period in 2024.

Income Statement Highlights - Year-to-Date Comparison 2025 v. 2024

  • Net interest income was $32.8 million for the first six months of 2025 compared to $27.8 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of $5.1 million or 18.3%. The improvement was driven primarily by an increase in interest income on the loan portfolio which was up $6.0 million while interest expense increased only $2.0 million.
  • For the first six months of 2025, the provision for credit losses on loans was $1.5 million compared to $1.1million for the same quarter of 2024. The increased provision for credit losses on loans was necessary due to growth in the loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments were reversals of $40 thousand and $52 thousand for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
  • Noninterest income totaled $9.7 million for the first six months of 2025 compared to $8.5 million for the same period of 2024, an increase of 13.2%. The growth was due primarily to an increase in wealth management fees, loan charges, and a refund on state sales taxes.
  • Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2025 was $29.0 million compared to $27.6 million for the same period of 2024 (an increase of 4.8%). Salaries and employee benefits (primarily health insurance) and FDIC insurance increased period over period but were partially offset by a decrease in marketing costs.
  • The effective federal income tax rate was 19.0% for the six months of 2025 and 16.6% for the same period in 2024.

(1) Non-GAAP measurement. See GAAP versus Non-GAAP disclosure
































GAAP versus non-GAAP Presentations - The Corporation supplements its traditional GAAP measurements with certain non-GAAP measurements to evaluate its performance and to eliminate the effect of intangible assets. By eliminating intangible assets (Goodwill), the Corporation believes it presents a measurement that is comparable to companies that have no intangible assets or to companies that have eliminated intangible assets in similar calculations. However, not all companies may use the same calculation method for each measurement. The non-GAAP measurements are not intended to be used as a substitute for the related GAAP measurements. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the event of such a disclosure or release, the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G requires: (i) the presentation of the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and (ii) a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure presented and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The following table shows the calculation of the non-GAAP measurements.

Tech-Aktien mit Crash-Tendenzen
Künstliche Intelligenz, Magnificent Seven, Tech-Euphorie – seit Monaten scheint an der Börse nur eine Richtung zu existieren: nach oben. Doch hinter den Rekordkursen lauert eine gefährliche Wahrheit. Die Bewertungen vieler Tech-Schwergewichte haben historische Extremniveaus erreicht. Shiller-KGV bei 39, Buffett-Indikator auf Allzeithoch – schon in der Dotcom-Ära war der Markt kaum teurer.

Hinzu kommen euphorische Anlegerstimmung, IPO-Hypes ohne Substanz, kreditfinanzierte Wertpapierkäufe in Rekordhöhe und charttechnische Warnsignale, die Erinnerungen an 2000 und 2021 wecken. Gleichzeitig drücken geopolitische Risiken, Trumps aggressive Zollpolitik und saisonale Börsenschwäche auf die Perspektiven.

Die Gefahr: Aus der schleichenden Korrektur könnte ein rasanter Crash werden – und der könnte vor allem überbewertete KI- und Chipwerte hart treffen.

In unserem kostenlosen Spezial-Report zeigen wir Ihnen, welche Tech-Aktien am stärksten gefährdet sind und wie Sie Ihr Depot vor dem Platzen der Blase schützen könnten.
