NEWS RELEASE
TO BUSINESS EDITOR:
PEOPLES FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP. REPORTS EARNINGS
 
Hallstead, PA, October 16 – Peoples Financial Services Corp. (OTCBB:PFIS) today reported earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, of $6,305 thousand or $2.04 per share, a decrease of $639 thousand or 9.2%, compared to $6,944 thousand or $2.23 per share for the same period last year. Earnings for the third quarter 2013 totaled $1,743 thousand or $0.56 per share, a decrease of $497 thousand or 22.2%, compared to $2,240 thousand or $0.72 per share for the third quarter of 2012. The decreases in both year-to-date and quarter-to-date earnings were caused primarily by the recognition of costs associated with the pending merger between and amongst Peoples Financial Services Corp. and Penseco Financial Services Corporation.
 
Return on average assets was 0.98% for the third quarter and 1.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 1.38% and 1.46% for the respective periods of 2012. Return on average stockholders’ equity was 10.44% and 12.81%, respectively, for the third quarter and year-to-date 2013, compared to 14.26% and 15.41% for the same periods of 2012.
 
“Despite us continuing to incur necessary costs to consummate the business combination expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013, our core earnings continued to improve as evidenced by a 7.0% improvement in our net interest income in 2013. We are confident that the shareholders of both entities will recognize the exceptional value created through the combination of two local community banks having long established histories of providing excellent service and extensive community support to Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Southern Tier of New York State. Our Board of Directors unanimously supports the merger and recommends that shareholders vote in favor of all of the proposals presented in the joint proxy statement,” stated Alan W. Dakey, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With respect to Peoples Financial Services Corp. specifically, we are very pleased with the growth in our balance sheet in 2013. We continued to generate strong growth in deposits and our loan portfolio grew significantly in the commercial sector. We look forward to the pending merger and will continue to remain steadfast to our objectives to improve our noninterest revenue sources as well as maintaining a favorable net interest margin,” concluded Dakey.

INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW
 
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, improved $1,071 thousand or 5.9% to $19,164 thousand in 2013 from $18,093 thousand in 2012. A $439 thousand increase in tax-equivalent interest revenue was aided by a decrease in interest expense of $632 thousand. Growth in average earning assets of $49.2 million offset partially by a 28 basis point decrease in the tax-equivalent yield on earning assets were the primary factors contributing to the increase in interest revenue. Specifically, the tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio decreased 19 basis points to 5.22% in 2013 from 5.41% in 2012. In addition, average loans increased $26.7 million or 5.8% comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  The tax-equivalent yield on the investment portfolio decreased 30 basis points to 3.08% in 2013 from 3.38% in 2012. Average investments increased $14.8 million or 11.2% in 2013. Partially offsetting the negative effects of the yield decrease and aiding the positive effects of earning asset growth was a decrease of 24 basis points in the cost of funds, which was the primary factor leading to the decreased interest expense. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30 decreased 9 basis points to 3.94% in 2013 from 4.03% in 2012. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2013 decreased to 3.86% compared to the third quarter of 2012 at 3.89%.

The provision for loan losses was $495 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and $1,365 thousand for the same nine months of 2012.  The provision for loan losses was $165 thousand for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $330 thousand for the same period last year.

Noninterest income totaled $3,573 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $268 thousand or 7.0% from $3,841 thousand for the same nine months of last year. Noninterest income in 2012 included a $383 thousand gain on the sale of investment securities available-for-sale. Mortgage banking income decreased 29.9% to $458 thousand in 2013 from $653 thousand in 2012 while wealth management income increased 27.8% to $589 thousand in 2013 from $461 thousand in 2012.  For the third quarter, noninterest income decreased $126 thousand to $1,135 thousand in 2013, from $1,261 thousand in 2012.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, increased $2,202 thousand or 19.9% to $13,259 thousand in 2013 from $11,057 thousand in 2012. Employee-related costs rose $994 thousand or 18.9% as a result of increases in staffing, higher health insurance costs and normal merit increases. Additional equipment-related costs resulted in a $230 thousand or 10.0% increase in net occupancy and equipment expense. The main contributor to the $978 thousand or 28.0% increase in other expenses was various legal and professional fees incurred in conjunction with merger related costs. For the third quarter, noninterest expense totaled $5,060 thousand in 2013, an increase of $1,222 thousand or 31.8% from $3,838 thousand in 2012.
 
BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
 
Total assets equaled $714.4 million at September 30, 2013, an increase of $65.0 million compared to $649.4 million at September 30, 2012.

There were $11.8 million in federal funds sold as of the end of the third quarter of 2013 compared to $3.5 million at the same point in 2013 as deposit growth outpaced loan growth thus far in 2013.
