    MANSFIELD, Penn., April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Citizens Financial Services, Inc (NASDAQ:CZFS), parent company of First Citizens Community Bank (the "Bank"), released today its unaudited consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

    Highlights

    • The financial results of the Company continue to benefit from the acquisition of HV Bancorp, Inc. ("HVB") that closed in the second quarter of 2023.
    • During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed the sale of certain assets acquired as part of the HVB acquisition, which included loans and accrued interest, and software, as well as transferring certain contracts, processes and employees of a division internally known as Braavo. The proceeds from the sale totaled approximately $7.2 million and generated a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.1 million. Legal fees associated with the sale totaled approximately $201,000.
    • Net income was $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which is 2.3% more than the net income for 2023's comparable period. The increase was driven by the gain on the sale of Braavo, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $900,000, net of legal fees. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 17.4% compared to 19.0% in the comparable period in 2023, with the decrease being due to an increase in earnings on bank owned life insurance due to the passing of a former executive, which is not subject to income tax, and certain merger and acquisition expenses from 2023 not being tax deductible.
    • Net interest income before the provision for credit losses was $21.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2,878,000, or 15.9%, over the same period a year ago and was primarily due to the HVB acquisition.
    • Return on average equity for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2024 was 9.10% compared to 11.49% for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2023.
    • Return on average tangible equity for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2024 was 12.80% compared to 13.30% for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2023 (non-GAAP). (1)
    • Return on average assets for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2024 was 0.93% compared to 1.16% for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2023.
    • Non-performing assets increased $4,833,000 since March 31, 2023 and total $15,713,000 as of March 31, 2024, which is $2.5 million higher than the balance at December 31, 2023. The increase from March 31, 2023 and December 2023 is due to loans acquired as part of the HVB acquisition. As a percent of loans, non-performing assets totaled 0.70%, 0.59% and 0.63% as of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

    First Quarter of 2024 Compared to the First Quarter of 2023

    • For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net income totaled $7,024,000 which compares to net income of $6,867,000 for the comparable period of 2023, an increase of $157,000 or 2.3%. Basic earnings per share of $1.49 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compares to $1.71 for the 2023 comparable period. Annualized return on equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 9.10% and 11.49%, while annualized return on assets was 0.93% and 1.16%, respectively.
    • Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $20,958,000 compared to $18,080,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulting in an increase of $2,878,000, or 15.9%. Average interest earning assets increased $545.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the HVB acquisition. Average loans increased $563.1 million, while average investment securities decreased $30.5 million. The tax effected net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 3.05% compared to 3.30% for the same period last year. The yield on interest earning assets increased 92 basis points to 5.48%, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 1.34% to 2.99% due to the rise in market interest rates and competitive pressure.
    • Due to the increase in non-performing loans and a change in estimated prepayment speeds on performing loans, a provision for credit losses of $785,000 was recorded in the first quarter of 2024. Due to limited loan origination activity in the first quarter of 2023, no provision was recorded for the first quarter of 2023.
    • Total non-interest income was $4,971,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, $2,797,000 more than the comparable period last year. The primary drivers were the gain on the sale of assets associated with Braavo and activity due to the HVB acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, service charges, gains on loans sold, earnings on bank owned life insurance and other income increased. Earnings on bank owned life insurance also increased due to the passing of a former employee in the first quarter of 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company experienced a gain on its equity investment portfolio compared to a loss in the first quarter of 2023, both of which were due to market conditions at the time.
    • Total non-interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $16,643,000 compared to $11,778,000 for the same period last year, which is an increase of $4,865,000, or 41.3%. Salary and benefit costs increased $2,613,000 due to an additional 80.9 FTEs as a result of the acquisition and merit increases for 2024 as well as an increase in health insurance costs of $423,000. The increases in occupancy, furniture and fixtures, software expenses and amortization expenses was due to the acquisition and additional branches as part of it. FDIC insurance expense increased $225,000 due to the Company's increased size and the Bank's lower leverage capital ratio. Professional fees increased due to various legal matters, of which $201,000 was related to the sale of certain Braavo assets. Other expenses increased primarily due to the acquisition, with increases experienced in subscriptions, marketing and advertising, postage, printing, data communication expenses and FHLB letter of credit fees. Independent of the acquisition, other expenses increased due to insurance reimbursement received in 2023 to cover amounts previously expensed. Merger and acquisitions costs for the merger with HVB totaled $244,000 in 2023 and include professional and consulting fees, printing and travel related expenses.
    • The provision for income taxes decreased $132,000 when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2024 to the same period in 2023. This decrease was attributable to death benefits received upon the passing of a former employees and certain expenses in 2023 not being tax deductible. The effective tax rate was 17.4% and 19.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

    Balance Sheet and Other Information:

    • At March 31, 2024, total assets were $2.92 billion compared to $2.98 billion at December 31, 2023 and $2.34 billion at March 31, 2023. The loan to deposit ratio as of March 31, 2024 was 97.25% compared to 96.87% as of December 31, 2023 and 95.77% as of March 31, 2023.
    • Available for sale securities of $404.9 million at March 31, 2024 decreased $12.7 million from December 31, 2023 and decreased $38.6 million from March 31, 2023. The yield on the investment portfolio increased from 2.12% to 2.29% on a tax equivalent basis due to securities purchased during a higher rate environment and lower yielding securities maturing. Investment activity has been limited in the first quarter of 2024.
    • Net loans as of March 31, 2024 totaled $2.22 billion and decreased $9.6 million from December 31, 2023, due to a decrease in the amount of student loans outstanding and selling loans as part of the Braavo disposition. In comparison to March 31, 2023, loans have grown $509.8 million due to the HVB acquisition.
    • The allowance for credit losses - loans totaled $21,598,000 at March 31, 2024 which is an increase of $445,000 from December 31, 2023 and is due to change in expected prepayment speeds and specific reserves on non-performing loans. The provision for credit losses on loans was $1,112,000 for the first quarter of 2024. Loan recoveries and charge-offs were $7,000 and $674,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 with the majority of the charge-offs associated with loans acquired as part of the HVB acquisition. The allowance as a percent of total loans was 0.96% as of March 31, 2024 and 0.94% as of December 31, 2023.
    • Deposits decreased $18.7 million from December 31, 2023, to $2.30 billion at March 31, 2024. With the rise in interest rates, competitive pressure for deposits has increased. Additionally, we have numerous state and political organizations as customers who withdrew funds during the first quarter of 2024 to fund various projects and bond payments.
    • Borrowed funds totaled $283.6 million as of March 31, 2024, a $38.5 million decrease from December 31, 2023.
    • Stockholders' equity totaled $282.7 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $279.7 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $3.0 million. Excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCI), stockholders equity increased $4.7 million and totals $309.3 million. The increase in stockholders equity, excluding AOCI, was attributable to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaling $7.0 million, offset by cash dividends for the first quarter totaling $2.3 million. As a result of changes in market interest rates impacting the fair value of investment securities and swaps, AOCI decreased $1.7 million from December 31, 2023.

    Dividend Declared

    On March 5, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.49 per share, which was paid on March 29, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2024. This quarterly cash dividend is an increase of 2.1% over the regular cash dividend of $0.48 per share declared one year ago, as adjusted for the 1% stock dividend declared in June 2023.
