NEWS RELEASE
 
TO BUSINESS EDITOR:
 
PEOPLES FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP. REPORTS 35% EARNINGS INCREASE
 
Hallstead, PA, April 12 – Peoples Financial Services Corp. (OTCBB:PFIS) today reported first quarter 2012 earnings of $2,420 thousand or $0.78 per share, an increase of $621 thousand or 34.5% compared to $1,799 thousand or $0.57 per share for the first quarter of 2011. For the three months ended March 31, return on average assets and return on average stockholders’ equity equaled 1.56% and 16.70% in 2012, compared to 1.30% and 14.84% in 2011.
 
     “Higher net interest income and noninterest income were the primary factors contributing to the increase in comparable first quarter earnings,” stated Alan W. Dakey, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We experienced strong growth in revenue generated by our Loan Division. Our loan portfolio grew significantly in the commercial and municipal sectors. In 2012, we continue to focus on improving our noninterest revenue sources. With this goal in mind, we began offering cash back rewards for non-pin based customer debit card transactions to improve efficiencies in our payment systems as well as generate increased revenues,” continued Dakey. “We are extremely excited about this new product and believe that it will provide us with the competitive advantage necessary to grow our core deposit base and strengthen our existing deposit relationships,” concluded Dakey.
 
HIGHLIGHTS

 
 
Earnings per share increased $0.21 comparing 2012 and 2011.
   
 
 
Noninterest revenue for the first quarter improved 50.4% over the prior year.
   
 
 
Year-to-year average loan growth approximated 12.5%.
   
 
 
Deposits grew $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2012.
       
 
 
Nonperforming assets decreased 19.4% comparing March 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW
 
     For the three months ended March 31, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $369 thousand or 6.5% to $6,058 thousand in 2012 from $5,689 thousand in 2011. Due to declining market rates, interest expense decreased $104 thousand or 7.5%. Tax-equivalent interest revenue increased $265 thousand or 3.7%, in addition to the reduction in interest expense. With respect to interest expense, our cost of funds decreased 20 basis points to 1.10% for the first quarter of 2012 from 1.30% for the same quarter of last year. Although we experienced a reduction in the rates paid for the majority of interest-bearing liability categories, the average cost of savings accounts and short-term borrowings had the greatest impact on interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, the cost of savings accounts decreased 21 basis points to 0.65% in 2012 from 0.86% in 2011, while the rate paid for short-term borrowings fell 40 basis points. Partially offsetting the positive effect from the reduction in funding costs was growth in interest-bearing liabilities of $34.8 million. The tax-equivalent yield on earning assets decreased 46 basis points. Almost entirely offsetting the effects of the yield decline was growth in average earning assets of $65.6 million. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the first quarter declined 26 basis points to 4.10% in 2012 compared to 4.36% in 2011. However, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2011, our net interest margin was up slightly from 4.09%.
 
     For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the provision for loan losses totaled $645 thousand, an increase of $224 thousand compared to $421 thousand for the same three months of 2011.
 
     Noninterest revenue for the first quarter rose $414 thousand or 50.4% to $1,236 thousand in 2012 from $822 thousand in 2011. Increases in deposit-related service charges resulted in a $34 thousand or 4.8% rise in service charges, fees and commissions in 2012. In addition, we experienced a $26 thousand or 54.2% increase in mortgage banking income. Additionally, gains realized from investment security sales totaled $284 for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $10 for the same period in 2011.
 
     For the three months ended March 31, noninterest expense decreased $81 thousand or 2.4% to $3,314 thousand in 2012 from $3,395 thousand in 2011. The decrease resulted primarily from a $479 thousand or 37.6% decrease in other expenses offset by a $284 thousand or 19.6% increase in salaries and employee benefits expense. Additional staffing factored into the higher employee-related costs. Changes in occupancy and equipment expense amounted to an increase of $114 thousand or 16.9% as recovery efforts continue from flood damage incurred in September 2011. The decrease in other expenses was primarily attributable to the receipt of insurance proceeds from flood related damages.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
 
     Total assets equaled $631.7 million at March 31, 2012, an increase of $61.4 million compared to $570.3 million at March 31, 2011. Strong loan demand resulted in an increase of $51.4 million or 12.6% in loans, net of unearned income, to $459.2 million at the close of the first quarter of 2012 from $407.8 million one year earlier. There were no federal funds sold as of the end of the first quarter of 2012 compared to $15.8 million at the same point in 2011 as funds were shifted into the investment portfolio. Investment securities available-for-sale amounted to $132.9 million at March 31, 2012, and $107.1 million at March 31, 2011. Despite strong competition for deposits within our market area, total deposits increased $48.6 million comparing the first quarters of 2012 and 2011. Short-term borrowings outstanding at the end of the first quarter were $45.4 million in 2012 and $35.3 million in 2011.
 
     Stockholders’ equity equaled $61.2 million or $19.61 per share at March 31, 2012, and $52.5 million or $16.70 per share at March 31, 2011. Included in stockholders’ equity was accumulated other comprehensive income related entirely to net unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale investment securities of $3,442 thousand at the end of the first quarter of 2012, compared to an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $59 thousand at the end of the same period of 2011. Dividends declared for the first quarter were $0.21 per share in 2012 and $0.20 per share in 2011.
 
     Nonperforming assets equaled $9.9 million or 2.14% of loans, net of unearned income and foreclosed assets at March 31, 2012, compared to $12.2 million or 2.97% one year earlier. The improvement in asset quality resulted from a decrease in nonaccrual loans and foreclosed assets, partially offset by an increase in accruing loans past due 90 days or more. The provision for loan losses increased 53.2% comparing the first quarters of 2012 and 2011 corresponding with the increase in the volume of loans in 2012. In addition, loans charged off, net of recoveries, for the first quarter equaled 0.36% of average loans outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 0.17% for the same period in 2011. The allowance for loan losses equaled $5.6 million or 1.22% of loans, net of unearned income, at March 31, 2012, compared to $4.4 million or 1.07% at March 31, 2011.
