CEO Comments By many measures, 2023 has been a very challenging year for the banking industry. Issues of quickly rising interest rates, contracting NIM, tight liquidity, and the fear of looming credit-quality issues are enough to create concern for the industry. Yet, amidst the problems is opportunity for those who are looking for ways to improve their company and add shareholder value. During the third quarter of 2023, Franklin Financial Services Corporation (FFSC) continued its efforts to grow the balance sheet and build profitability through a series of small steps that limit risk in the uncertain economic environment. The company has been successfully building commercial loan balances by developing new customer relationships while maintaining strong credit quality (.01% non-performing assets/assets) and adequate reserves (allowance for credit loss stands at 1.29% of loans). The company has also been rebuilding deposit relationships after experiencing a sharp runoff in the fourth quarter of 2022 (loan-to-deposit ratio was 77% at the end of the third quarter). And though deposit rates are rising, we have been able to maintain a respectable cost of deposits, resulting in a relatively flat NIM. Brokerage and trust assets continue to grow, providing additional fee income for the company. There are areas in which we want to improve, including our efficiency ratio and building other sources of non-interest income. We do this against a backdrop of strong capital and liquidity positions that afford us the opportunity to make improvements to the balance sheet that, while they negatively affect income in the short run, will result in medium- and long-term benefits to the company. F&M TRUST Franklin Financial Services Corporation 3
CEO Comments As we discussed at the end of the second quarter, FFSC is focused on the future. As we continue to grow our digital and AI capabilities, we are building in operating efficiencies and management tools that will improve the profitability of the company. All this is possible because of the team of people we have in place and the culture we embrace. Over the past nine months, we have continued to attract important new employees who have added to our base, making us a stronger organization in sales, service, operations, and technology. I continue to be excited for our future, and I thank you for your support and interest in our company. Sincerely, F&M TRUST Franklin Financial Services Corporation 4

Positioned for Growth and Profitability Market share leader in core deposit, loan, and asset-management segments in economically stable and historically growing markets Recently-hired executive team members bring extensive banking industry experience and market knowledge, adding to an already experienced management team Consistently strong operating fundamentals with a diverse revenue mix Strong regulatory capital position, sound risk management, and neutral to slightly asset-sensitive balance sheet positioned to benefit from rising interest rates over time Historically stable core deposit base, which becomes more valuable in a volatile rate environment A well-diversified loan portfolio with an emphasis on commercial relationships without reliance on participation loans Accelerating digital transformation and technology adoption to support business growth and service F&M TRUST Franklin Financial Services Corporation 10
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Updates Loan portfolio grew by 5.4%, primarily in Commercial Services division Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 was $13.7 million compared to $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2023 Deposits increased 3.6% from the second quarter of 2023 Loan-to-deposit ratio increased to 77% Measured response to adjusting deposit rates in a rising rate environment Net interest margin was 3.29% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 3.30% for the second quarter of 2023 Provision for credit loss was $875 thousand for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $524 thousand for the second quarter of 2023 due to increased loan balances F&M TRUST Franklin Financial Services Corporation 11
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Updates Fee income from new mortgages originated for sale in the secondary market was down $150 thousand from the second quarter of 2023 as production slowed due to higher interest rates Allowance for credit loss ratio of 1.29%; non-performing asset ratio of 0.01% Capital position remained strong with a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.16% and a leverage ratio of 9.10% Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss increased from $51 million at year-end 2022 to $56 million at September 30, 2023, as interest rates moved higher during the year Maintained the dividend at $0.32 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023 F&M TRUST Franklin Financial Services Corporation 12
Data-Driven Performance To support the bank’s growth, a Data & Performance Analytics department that includes Manager, Salesforce Administrator, Salesforce Developer, and Business Performance Analyst was created Performance reporting and data analytics will support key business decisions, improve productivity, and uncover optimization opportunities across the bank’s business lines Continued development and increased usage of Salesforce customer relationship management platform will help sales leaders make informed decisions and create more revenue for the bank Sound data collection will provide valuable customer information, allowing for the cross-selling of products and the potential to increase customer wallet share Use of new AI-driven bots completes about 8 hours of manual work weekly for Deposit Operations, and returned time has been reallocated to compliance tasks Early 2024 rollout of Salesforce to Data and Deposit Operations will improve efficiencies across the bank F&M TRUST Franklin Financial Services Corporation 13
Outlook for the Remainder of 2023 The Company will continue building for the future by leveraging our investments in our physical, technological, and sales infrastructure including: Further integration of Salesforce into sales, operations, and marketing Expanding our presence in the Pennsylvania and Maryland markets Expanding the use of digitization in both customer interface and operational workflows to improve efficiencies and decrease costs across the company The focus on cross-selling between Commercial, Retail, and Investment & Trust Services lines of business, to the benefit of the bank’s customers, continues with improvement due to the adoption and use of Salesforce throughout the bank and senior management’s focus on the opportunities available to the company Commercial loan growth will continue due to the integration of new commercial relationship managers, improved underwriting processes, and growth into new regional markets for the bank F&M TRUST Franklin Financial Services Corporation 14
Outlook for the Remainder of 2023 Deposit balances will moderate due to the tension between rising rates and the bank’s efforts to control interest costs and manage liquidity needs Market pressure on deposit rates and competition for high-quality lending relationships may have an adverse effect on NIM The negative effect of the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on book capital should decrease as investments move to maturity (average portfolio life is under 5.5 years) Fee income from the Investment & Trust Services division should continue to grow with the addition of new clients / assets and should only be moderated by the general performance of both the bond and equity markets With increased focus on finding operating efficiencies, both internally and with our external third-party vendors, we expect to see an improved efficiency ratio in 2024 F&M TRUST Franklin Financial Services Corporation 15
Summary The Company continues to be well capitalized and positioned to successfully develop new Commercial and Investment & Trust relationships The bank is positioned to fund future growth Asset quality is good, and the Company is well provisioned for losses should they occur in future quarters due to economic factors The Company is actively working to bring more digitally based products and services to its customers The Company is positioning for future growth and expansion following the completed consolidation and move to a new corporate headquarters and operations center, the addition of Salesforce, the additions to senior leadership, and a new full-service community office in Maryland F&M TRUST Franklin Financial Services Corporation 16
