SHIPPENSBURG, Pa., July 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:ORRF), the parent company of Orrstown Bank (the "Bank"), announced earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.  Net income was $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $3.4 million for the same quarter in 2013. Net income was $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was favorably influenced by a negative provision for loan losses of $1.4 million with no similar benefit in 2014. Net income for 2014 benefited from higher levels of gains on sales of securities and real estate owned sales, which, in the aggregate, were $893 thousand and $1.5 million higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 than in the same periods in the prior year.  

Diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.35 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $0.42 for the second quarter of 2013. Return on average assets and return on average equity totaled 0.97% and 11.65%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 1.14% and 15.39%, respectively, for the same periods in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.60, compared to $0.61 for the same period in 2013. Return on average assets and return on average equity totaled 0.83% and 10.14%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 0.84% and 11.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. 

Thomas R. Quinn, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We continue to build on the momentum we established over the previous 18 months as we begin to shift our focus back to meeting the financial needs of the market. We are experiencing stronger loan demand throughout the region and are particularly pleased with the contributions from the team based in our newest facility in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Although competition for quality relationships remains fierce, we are steadfast in maintaining prudent underwriting standards and are encouraged by year to date loan growth of nearly $8 million." 

OPERATING RESULTS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a 10.4% increase compared to the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net interest income totaled $17.0 million, a 7.6% increase from the $15.8 million earned for the six months ended June 30, 2013. As a result of the sustained improvement in the Company's asset quality and earnings performance, the Company was able to invest its excess liquidity previously kept in interest bearing bank balances into higher yielding securities and its loan portfolio. In addition, lower average balances of nonaccrual loans allowed for greater recognition of interest income. Lastly, the Company has been able to effectively manage its cost of funds, which declined to 0.46% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a 7 basis point improvement from 0.53% for the same period in 2013.   

The combined effect of these factors resulted in an overall improvement in the Company's net interest margin. Net interest margin was 3.18% and 3.24% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 2.90% and 2.98% for the same periods in 2013.   

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded no provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to a negative provision, or a reversal of amounts previously provided, of $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company received payments on classified loans with partial charge-offs previously recorded. As these payments received during the second quarter of 2013 exceeded the carrying value of the related loans, the excess was included in recoveries of loan amounts previously charged off. As the allowance for loan losses was deemed adequate prior to those recoveries, the amount of the recoveries was recorded as a negative provision for loan losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net charge-offs totaled $540 thousand. Both quantitative and qualitative factors are considered in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The favorable historical charge-off data combined with relatively stable economic and market conditions has resulted in the determination that no additional provision for loan losses was required to replenish the net charge-offs recorded and additional reserves needed on impaired loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.   

Asset quality ratios have shown improvement since December 31, 2013, with classified loans totaling $45.0 million at June 30, 2014, or 6.6% of loans, compared to $56.8 million, or 8.5% of loans at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans and restructured loans still accruing has declined from 82.8% at December 31, 2013 to 78.4% at June 30, 2014, and from 102.0% at March 31, 2014. One significant loan was moved to nonaccrual status during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 due to the borrower's deteriorating cash flows. As a result of this, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans and restructured loans declined. 

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains, totaled $4.5 million and $8.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $4.7 million and $9.0 million for the same periods in 2013. Several factors contributed to lower net revenues in 2014 compared to 2013. During the past several quarters, mortgage interest rates have risen, leading to a reduction in the number of customers refinancing their residential mortgages and home sales in the Company's primary market area have decreased. These events have resulted in lower mortgage banking income, which totaled $562 thousand and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, a decline of 49.1% and 45.0% from the same periods in 2013. The Company also experienced a decline in service charges on deposits and other services charges consistent with trends noted in more conservative consumer spending behavior. Partially offsetting these unfavorable variances were the revenues generated by Orrstown Financial Advisors,  which include trust and estate fees and brokerage income, and totaled $1.8 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $198 thousand and $90 thousand over the same periods in 2013. Also, other income of $774 thousand and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, represented an increase of $250 thousand and $327 thousand compared to the same periods in 2013 due principally to higher levels of gains on sales of real estate owned in the current year periods as compared to the same periods in 2013.  

Securities gains totaled $602 thousand and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $0 and $122 for the same periods in 2013. For both years, asset/liability management strategies and interest rate conditions resulted in gains on sales of securities, as market conditions presented opportunities to reduce interest rate risk while maintaining earnings from our securities portfolio.     

Noninterest expenses

Noninterest expenses totaled $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $10.3 million for the corresponding prior year period, an increase of 4.2%.  On a year-to-date basis, noninterest expenses amounted to $21.7 million, an increase of $465 thousand, or 2.2%, from $21.3 million for the same period in 2013.  The changes in certain components of the noninterest expenses between 2013 and 2014 are described below.

As the Company began to introduce new product offerings, improve the effectiveness of alternate delivery channels and enter new markets, it experienced increased occupancy, furniture and equipment and data processing expenses.   For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, these expenses totaled $1.7 million and $3.6 million, an increase of $257 thousand and $656 thousand over the same periods in 2013. In December 2013, the Company outsourced its core processing system to a third party provider, to capitalize on additional products and services that the provider offers. In connection with the migration to the new platform, upgrades in certain equipment were also required. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company opened its financial services facility office in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, resulting in occupancy charges in the quarterly and yearly to date periods in 2014, with no corresponding charges in the same periods in 2013. The Company also experienced increased costs in 2014 related to a newly created Borrower Assistance unit designed to help customers through periods of financial hardship.

Salaries and employee benefits totaled $5.9 million and $11.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 9.1% and 5.0% over the same periods in 2013, and a 1.2% increase over the first quarter of 2014. The increase in salaries and benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 over the same periods in 2013 is primarily the result of additions to staff that were hired in the latter part of 2013, allowing for enhanced risk management processes and practices and greater depth in the information technology and operations departments, and less reliance on outside consultants. As previously announced, the Company eliminated 32 positions in its operations and retail staff in the second quarter of 2014, and incurred approximately $150,000 of charges in connection with this reduction in workforce in the second quarter of 2014. The 1.2% increase in salaries and benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the first three months of 2014 was the result of company-wide merit increases which took effect in the second quarter, severance charges, and work through dates of severed employees through the second quarter as the Company transitioned work responsibilities. It is anticipated that greater savings from the workforce reduction will result in the third quarter of 2014.   

Advertising and Bank promotions were used to advance the Company's growth initiatives and the introduction of new products and services, including the Bank's first ever advertising on television and increased direct mail efforts that were launched in the first quarter of 2014. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, advertising and bank promotion expense totaled $218 thousand and $643 thousand, compared to $274 thousand and $485 thousand for the same periods in 2013.   

Offsetting the above variances in noninterest expense, were lower expenses related to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance, professional services and taxes, other than income. FDIC insurance expenses totaled $359 thousand and $823 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, a 42.7% and 36.3% reduction from the amounts incurred in the same periods in 2013 primarily because of a lower assessment rate as the Company's risk profile improves. Taxes, other than income, decreased from $244 thousand and $488 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, to $156 and $314 thousand for the same periods in 2014, due to a lower assessment rate and methodology for state bank shares tax.   As the Company continues to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce its overall risk profile, expenses related to professional services, collection and problem loan, and real estate owned have decreased, which in the aggregate, were 6.7% and 12.6% lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. 

Income Taxes

Income tax expense totaled $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $30 thousand and $60 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.  

During the third quarter of 2012, an evaluation was completed on the net deferred tax asset that existed at that time, which principally resulted from credit and credit related losses and expenses that the Company had experienced. As a result of the taxable losses that were generated during 2012, and our inability to fully offset the tax to the two preceding carryback years allowed by tax regulation, our net deferred tax asset was dependent on tax planning strategies and future taxable income. Based on forecasted taxable income at that time, combined with limited available tax planning strategies, we were not able to conclude that the deferred tax asset would more likely than not be realized in its entirety, and as such, a valuation allowance was established for the full amount beginning in the third quarter of 2012, which resulted in a charge at that time of $19.9 million. As of June 30, 2014, while improvements have been noted in our operating results, we continue to believe that the valuation allowance is appropriate. The evaluation is updated quarterly and if the Company continues to experience sustained profitability, reversal of the valuation in part, or in full, becomes more likely. The tax expense in 2013 pertains to estimated federal alternative minimum tax. 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets at June 30, 2014 totaled $1.17 billion, a $10.5 million decrease from $1.18 billion at December 31, 2013.  Gross loans, excluding those held for sale, totaled $678.9 million at June 30, 2014, a $7.8 million increase from December 31, 2013. Growth was achieved in the loan portfolio despite the active loan collection efforts, in which the Company collected approximately $9.4 million in pay downs/payoffs, charge-offs or foreclosure on nonaccrual loans during the year. 

Total deposits were $981.7 million at June 30, 2014, a decrease of $18.7 million, or 1.9%, from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2013. Despite the decrease in total deposits, there was a shift to non-interest bearing deposits, which grew by $5.5 million, or 4.8%, and growth was experienced in deposit products with the exception of time deposits, which are interest rate sensitive, and municipal deposits, given the seasonality of them.  Total borrowings, including both short-term borrowings and long-term debt, declined by $5.8 million, as the Company used proceeds payments on mortgage-backed securities and sales of available for sale securities to meet maturing obligations of borrowings.   

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity totaled $102.5 million at June 30, 2014, an increase of $11.0 million, or 12.0%, since December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily the result of net income of $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, combined with a $6.1 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company's regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2014 continued to improve and exceed all regulatory minimums required to be considered well capitalized. At June 30, 2014, the Company's regulatory capital ratios consisted of a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 8.5%, a Tier-1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.3%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.6%, which represent increases from 8.1%, 13.7% and 15.0%, respectively, at December 31, 2013. 

Asset Quality

Risk assets, defined as nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, and real estate owned totaled $27.6 million at June 30, 2014, which was an increase of $1.3 million, or 4.8%, from the balance at December 31, 2013 of $26.3 million, and an increase of $4.4 million, or 18.9%, from March 31, 2014.  The increase in nonaccrual loans of $5.9 million since March 31, 2014 is primarily due to one loan that is current as to principal and interest, but has been classified as impaired due to the borrower's declining cash flows. The Company has a specific reserve on the loan totaling $2.9 million, as it gathers information and works through its options on this loan.   The Company continues to actively address its classified and impaired loans.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $20.4 million at June 30, 2014, a decrease of $540 thousand from $21.0 million at December 31, 2013, principally due to net charge-offs recorded during the period, with no provision for loan losses.  Asset quality metrics remain strong, with the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio at 3.01% at June 30, 2014, and the allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans coverage ratio at 99.5%. 

The Company recognizes asset quality as a high priority and continues its efforts to mitigate future losses through capturing and monitoring credit risk within the portfolio and actively working with customers. Further, active monitoring and follow-up will continue on loans previously charged off in order to realize recoveries when borrowers' conditions have improved.
