For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Corporation reported net income of $5,081,000. Compared to net income of $5,289,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, this is a decrease of $208,000, or 3.9%, to comparable period results. Basic earnings per share were $0.72 and $0.75 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which is a decrease of $0.03 per share or 4.0%. This year-over-year decrease in earnings performance for the three months ended December 31, 2019, was primarily due to merger and systems consulting expenses related to banking operations.

“2019 was an exciting and demanding year for ACNB Corporation resulting in the second consecutive year of record financial results and the acquisition of Frederick County Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Frederick County Bank, effective January 11, 2020,” said James P. Helt, ACNB Corporation President & Chief Executive Officer. “Also contributing to the Corporation’s strong 2019 financial performance was enhanced revenue growth attributable to subsidiary activities through both ACNB Bank’s Wealth Management Division and Russell Insurance Group, Inc.”

Mr. Helt continued, “As we begin the new year, the Corporation’s community banking activities now include the Frederick County, Maryland, market with five offices operating under the brand of FCB Bank, a division of ACNB Bank. We welcome our new Bank team members and loyal customers from this market and are confident in the ability of our growing company to create enhanced value for customers, communities and shareholders.”

Revenues

Total revenues, defined as net interest income plus noninterest income, for the year ended December 31, 2019, were $77,587,000, or a 6.2% increase over total revenues of $73,043,000 for 2018. Total interest income for 2019 was $69,558,000, or an increase of 7.9%, as compared to total interest income of $64,494,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018, due primarily to higher volume of average earning assets.

Loans

Total loans outstanding were $1,272,601,000 at December 31, 2019. Year over year, loans outstanding decreased by $29,864,000, or 2.3%, since December 31, 2018. This decrease in 2019 was the result of continued intense competition in the Corporation’s markets, as well as significant commercial loan payoffs and paydowns during the year largely attributable to lower interest rates and government and municipal refinancing into the bond market. As a result of lower credit losses and stable credit quality in the loan portfolio, the provision for loan losses for 2019 was $600,000, a decrease of $1,020,000, or 63.0%, from prior year-end results.

Deposits

Total deposits were $1,412,260,000 at December 31, 2019. Year over year, total deposits increased by $64,168,000, or 4.8%, since December 31, 2018. Deposit growth is a function of pricing and the level of deposits held by existing and new customers, especially in the segment of municipal depositors. To enhance deposit growth, ACNB Bank promoted its new personal checking accounts with value-added benefits in 2019.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income rose by $2,323,000 to $59,418,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of 4.1% in comparison to the year ended December 31, 2018. The net interest margin for 2019 was 3.81%, unchanged from 2018. The increase in net interest income and the stable net interest margin for 2019 were primarily due to higher average earning asset volume funded by increased core deposits.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for 2019 was $18,169,000, an increase of $2,221,000, or 13.9%, over the prior year. The increase includes both revenue from fiduciary, investment management and brokerage activities and commissions from insurance sales, which grew 4.4% and 14.2%, respectively, from the year ended December 31, 2018, to the year ended December 31, 2019.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for 2019 was $47,621,000, an increase of $2,918,000, or 6.5%, over the prior year. The increase in noninterest expense is attributable to normal business operations and a growing footprint related to community banking and insurance operations, balanced by management’s continued focus on expense control. In addition, merger-related expenses and consulting for a new core operating system contract added $1,359,000 to 2019 expenses.

Dividends

Quarterly cash dividends paid to ACNB Corporation shareholders in 2019 totaled $6,920,000, or $0.98 per share---an increase of $659,000, or 10.5%, over the prior year. In 2018, ACNB Corporation paid an $0.89 dividend per share for total dividends paid to shareholders in the amount of $6,261,000.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

ACNB Corporation uses non-GAAP financial measures to provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. The non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators we use may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to measure their performance and trends.

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 (SEC) 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. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this release.

Management believes merger-related expenses are not organic costs attendant to operations and facilities. These charges principally represent expenses to satisfy contractual obligations of the acquired entity, without any useful benefit to us, to convert and consolidate the entity’s records, systems and data onto our platforms, and professional fees related to the transaction. These costs are specific to each individual transaction and may vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the transaction.
