MANSFIELD, PENNSYLVANIA— July 25, 2018 – Citizens Financial Services, Inc. (OTC Pink: CZFS), parent company of First Citizens Community Bank, released today its unaudited consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Highlights

·
Net income for the first six months of 2018 was $8.9 million, which is 32.0% higher than 2017's  income through June 30, 2017. The first half of 2018 was positively impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted on December 22, 2017, which lowered the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2018 was 15.4% compared to 22.4% in the comparable period in 2017.

·
Net income was $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, which is 35.3% higher than the net income for 2017's comparable period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 15.7% compared to 23.0% in the comparable period in 2017.

·
Net interest income before the provision for loan losses of $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was an increase of $2.8 million, or 13.6%, over the same period a year ago.

·
Net loan growth totaled $38.9 million in the first half of 2018, or 7.9% annualized. During the second quarter of 2018, the Bank experienced approximately $15.0 million of payoffs from participation loans.

·
Return on average equity for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2018 was 13.68% and 13.15% compared to 10.80% and 10.63% for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2017.

·
Return on average tangible equity for the three and six months (annualized) ended March 31, 2018 was 16.74% and 16.14% compared to 13.16% and 12.98% for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2017. (See reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures at the end of the press release.)

·
Return on average assets for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2018 was 1.34% and 1.29% compared to 1.12% and 1.10% for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2017.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to 2017

·
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net income totaled $8,938,000 which compares to net income of $6,771,000 for the first six months of 2017, an increase of $2,167,000 or 32.0%.  Basic earnings per share of $2.55 for the first six months of 2018 compares to $1.93 for the first six months last year.  Annualized return on equity for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was 13.15% and 10.63%, while annualized return on assets was 1.29% and 1.10%, respectively.

·
Net interest income before the provision for loan loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $23,171,000 compared to $20,401,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, resulting in an increase of $2,770,000, or 13.6%.    Average interest bearing assets increased $152.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year.  Average loans increased $180.2 million while average investment securities decreased $30.4 million. The tax effected net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was 3.67% compared to 3.79% for the same period last year. A significant portion of the margin decrease from 2017 to 2018 is attributable to the change in our corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%.

·
The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $825,000 compared to $1,240,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $415,000.  The decreased provision primarily reflects the lower level of loan growth experienced during 2018 compared to 2017.

·
Total non-interest income was $3,748,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, which is $175,000 less than the non-interest income of $3,923,000 for the same period last year. Decreases in security gains and gains on loans sold were offset by increases in service charge income and brokerage and insurance commissions.

·
Total non-interest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $15,534,000 compared to $14,357,000 for the same period last year, which is an increase of $1,177,000, or 8.2%.  Salaries and benefits increased $829,000 primarily due to merit increases and branch and loan production office expansion in our central and south central market areas. Occupancy expenses increased as a result of branch expansions. The efficiency ratio for 2018 is 55.12% compared to 55.39% for the comparable 2017 period.

·
The provision for income taxes decreased $334,000 when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the same period in 2017. The decrease is attributable to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which lowered the statutory tax rate from 34% to 21%, partially offset by an increase in pre-tax income.  The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2018 was 15.4% compared to 22.4% in the comparable period in 2017.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to 2017

·
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, net income totaled $4,691,000 which compares to net income of $3,468,000 for the comparable period in 2017, an increase of $1,223,000 or 35.3%.  Basic earnings per share of $1.34 for three months ended June 30, 2018 compares to $0.99 for the 2017 comparable period. Annualized return on equity for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was 13.68% and 10.80%, while annualized return on assets was 1.34% and 1.12%, respectively.

·
Net interest income before the provision for loan loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $11,751,000 compared to $10,404,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, resulting in an increase of $1,347,000, or 12.9%. Average interest earning assets increased $149.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year.  Average loans increased $169.4 million while average investment securities decreased $22.0 million. The tax effected net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 3.70% compared to 3.82% for the same period last year, which was primarily impacted by the change in tax rates between periods.

·
The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $325,000 compared to $625,000 for comparable period in 2017, a decrease of $300,000.  The decreased provision primarily reflects the lower net loan growth experienced during the comparable three months of 2018 to 2017.

·
Total non-interest income was $1,842,000 for the three months June 30, 2018, which is $46,000 less than the comparable period last year.  Decreases in investment securities gains and gains on loans sold were partially offset by increases in service charges and brokerage and insurance commissions.

·
Total non-interest expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $7,702,000 compared to $7,166,000 for the same period last year, which is an increase of $536,000, or 7.5%.  Salaries and benefits increased $360,000 primarily due to the increased costs associated with merit increases and branch and loan production office expansion.

·
The provision for income taxes decreased $158,000 when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the same period in 2017.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 15.7% compared to 23.0% in the comparable period in 2017.

Balance Sheet and Other Information:

·
At June 30, 2018, total assets were $1.40 billion, compared to $1.36 billion at December 31, 2017 and $1.26 billion at June 30, 2017.

·
Available for sale securities of $250.0 million at June 30, 2018 decreased $4.8 million from December 31, 2017 and $25.2 million from June 30, 2017. The decrease was utilized to fund growth in the loan portfolio.

·
Net loans as of June 30, 2018 totaled $1.03 billion and increased $38.9 million from December 31, 2017 and $150.2 million from June 30, 2017. Net loan growth for the second quarter was $8.1 million. Loan originations for the Bank remained strong in the second quarter, but growth was impacted by the pay-off of several large participation loans. The growth in 2018 was in commercial and agricultural relationships, which continues the trend from 2017.

·
The allowance for loan losses totaled $11,941,000 at June 30, 2018 which is an increase of $751,000 from December 31, 2017.  The increase is due to recording a provision for loan losses of $825,000 and recoveries of $103,000, offset by charge-offs of $177,000.  Annualized net charge-offs as a percent of total loans through June 30, 2018 was .02%.  The allowance as a percent of total loans was 1.15% as of June 30, 2018 compared to 1.12% as of December 31, 2017.

·
Deposits increased $13.6 million from December 31, 2017, to $1.12 billion at June 30, 2018. Borrowed funds increased $19.0 million from December 31, 2017 to $133.7 million at June 30, 2018.

·
Stockholders' equity totaled $132.3 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $129.0 million at December 31, 2017, an increase of $3,270,000.  The increase was attributable to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 totaling $8.9 million, offset by cash dividends of $3.0 million.  As a result of changes in interest rates impacting the fair value of investment securities, the unrealized loss on available for sale investment securities, net of tax, increased $2.0 million from December 31, 2017.
