The PA House Honors C&N! We were honored to be recognized by the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania for our 150 years of service to the communities we serve. The House citation was presented to C&N Interim President and CEO Mark A. Hughes by Rep. Matt Baker, (R-Bradford/Tioga), who sponsored the citation. The citation reads, in part, “With an innovative and progressive attitude, along with the conviction to operate with integrity and vision, Citizens & Northern Bank has established a reputation of quality and service over the past one hundred fifty years. The House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania congratulates Citizens & Northern Bank upon the momentous occasion of its one hundred fiftieth anniversary.” On the cover In recognition of the 150th anniversary of Citizens & Northern Bank, NASDAQ featured us on its Times Square tower. We never thought we’d see our name in lights on Times Square! Inside this report Throughout this report we’ll share photos of our market area as seen through the lenses of the talented amateur photographers who have entered our annual photo contests. We hope you enjoy this look at the areas we call home.

Our President’s Message Mark A. Hughes Interim President and CEO Our C&N Team is committed to delivering consistently excellent earnings results with the belief that, over time, such excellent results will lead to enhanced shareholder value. Although earnings per share in 2014 were lower than the amounts in each of the previous four years, I think it is important to put these results in a broader perspective by comparison to the results achieved by our banking industry peers. After all, what I think of as the “earnings opportunity” of a community banking company in any given year is heavily influenced by a variety of external and internal factors, including strength of the local economy, changes in interest rates and the need to incur expenses to keep up with new regulatory requirements or technological demands. It is also important to acknowledge weaknesses pointed out by comparisons to the peers’ data, and to formulate and execute plans to address the weaknesses. “The ‘earnings opportunity’ of a community banking company in any given year is heavily influenced by a variety of external and internal factors.” Before addressing our results in comparison to peers’, summary information concerning C&N’s financial performance in 2014 is as follows: Net income totaled $17,086,000 in 2014, or $1.38 per diluted share, down 8% from 2013 diluted earnings per share of $1.50. Our 2014 return on average assets was 1.38%, and our return on average equity was 9.21%. In 2014, we were unable to generate revenue at a level as high as in 2013, as net interest income fell $2.3 million. Over the past few years, yields earned on securities and loans have dropped by more than interest rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Further contributing to the reduction in net interest income, the average balance of loans outstanding was 4.3% lower in 2014 than in 2013. Also significant in 2014 was a $1.2 million decrease in gains from sales of residential mortgage loans, reflecting lower volume of refinancing and other activity in the market. On a positive note, total revenue from Trust and brokerage services increased $520,000 (10.7%) in 2014. Despite the reduction in earnings, dividends per share increased to $1.04 per share in 2014 from $1.00 in 2013. Based on the year-end closing stock price of $20.67, the annualized dividend yield for 2014 was 5.03%. In July 2014, the Board of Directors announced a common stock repurchase plan of up to 622,500 shares, or 5% of total shares outstanding at that time. Through the end of the year, 208,300 shares had been repurchased for a total cost of $4,002,000, at an average price of $19.21 per share. Our ability to increase the dividend and repurchase shares in 2014 resulted from maintenance of capital at levels well in excess of regulatory requirements. How do we compare to our peers? Consolidated financial data comparing C&N to a peer group of similar-sized bank holding companies can be found via the internet at www.ffiec.gov. The information available through that site includes data from quarterly financial reports that U.S. bank holding companies file with the Federal Reserve. C&N’s peer group includes bank holding companies with total assets between $1 billion and $3 billion. With total assets of $1.242 billion at December 31, 2014, C&N is in the smaller end of the range for its peer group. See a table of key ratios on Page 3.

 
 

 

Our President’s Message - Continued Some key summary ratios reflected in the most recent peer group report, based on consolidated data as of September 30, 2014, are as follows: C&N Peer Percentile Group within Peer C&N Average Group Earnings and Profitability Percent of Average Assets: Net interest income - fully taxable equivalent 3.56 3.35 68 Non-interest income 1.25 0.93 74 Overhead expense 2.79 3.04 38 Provision for loan and lease losses 0.04 0.09 36 Securities gains (losses) 0.10 0.02 91 Pretax net operating income - fully taxable equivalent 2.07 1.27 91 Net income 1.37 0.90 87 Capitalization Tier 1 leverage ratio 13.78 10.05 92 Equity capital/total assets 14.87 10.22 92 Tier 1 common equity capital/risk-weighted assets 26.09 12.31 97 Net loans and leases/equity capital (X) 3.33 6.67 6 The summary ratios presented here demonstrate that our earnings remain at a high level compared to our peer group. In particular, our return on average assets of 1.37% for the first nine months of 2014 (quite consistent with our annual return on average assets of 1.38%, as noted above) was in the 87th percentile of the peer group results. In my view, the peer comparison table shows that the keys to our strong earnings performance include a strong net interest margin, combined with an above average level of noninterest revenue and a lower-than-average level of noninterest expense. The Capitalization section of the summary ratios shows that our capital level is very high in comparison to the average for the peer group. While it is important to maintain sufficient capital to meet regulatory requirements and to withstand “stresses,” such as unexpected losses, management has a responsibility to effectively utilize capital to generate sufficient growth that would provide for future increases in earnings. Our level of loans, stated as a multiple of capital, was less than half of the peer group average, and provides evidence that we need to improve our efforts to generate growth in loans with good credit quality. While I am encouraged that total loans outstanding grew in each of the last two quarters of 2014, our overall balance of loans outstanding fell in 2014, continuing a trend of the past few years. Stepping away from the numbers, and perhaps stating the obvious, our ability to produce growth and strong earnings results going forward will depend on one factor more than anything else: the performance by our people. We have a strategic initiative underway to analyze all aspects of our lending processes, and I am optimistic about our ability to find meaningful opportunities for improvement. Further, we remain committed to our “Superior Customer Service” initiative, and will continue to provide training for our employees in an effort to improve our effectiveness at delivering consistent, outstanding customer service. On a personal note, I am thankful for the opportunity to serve as an officer of such a great banking company. We have a very dedicated Board of Directors, and a talented and enthusiastic team of management and employees. With all that we have going for us, I am confident and optimistic about C&N’s future success.

This graph was obtained from SNL Financial LC, Charlottesville VA ©2015 This chart compares the Corporation’s cumulative return to stockholders against the cumulative return of the Russell 2000 and a Peer Group Index of similar banking organizations selected by the Corporation for the five-year period commencing December 31, 2009 and ended December 31, 2014. The index values are market-weighted dividend-reinvestment numbers, which measure the total return for investing $100.00 five years ago. This meets Securities & Exchange Commission requirements for showing dividend reinvestment share performance over a five-year period and measures the return to an investor for placing $100.00 into a group of bank stocks and reinvesting any and all dividends into the purchase of more of the same stock for which dividends were paid. A listing of companies comprising the peer group is provided in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 
 

 

In Memoriam William Kroeck Francis All of us at Citizens & Northern were saddened at the October passing of our former President, Chairman and CEO Bill Francis. Bill died Wednesday, October 1 at his lakeside home in Dundee, NY. He was 82 years old. Bill retired in 1996 from Citizens & Northern after 38 years of service, 25 of those as CEO. During his tenure at the helm, Bill led C&N through one of its most aggressive expansion periods. It was under Bill’s guidance that Northern National Bank of Wellsboro and Citizens National Bank of Towanda consolidated to become C&N. Bill is remembered by all who knew him and worked with him as an affable man whose door was always open and who cared deeply for his coworkers, C&N and his 1932 - 2014 community. The William K. Francis Annex Building at the Wellsboro office.
