 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP
ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

October 18, 2013-Honesdale, PA
Lewis J. Critelli, President and Chief Executive Officer of Norwood Financial Corp. (Nasdaq Global Market-NWFL) and its subsidiary, Wayne Bank, announced earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $2,136,000.  This represents a slight decrease from the $2,200,000 earned in the same three month period of 2012 due to a reduced level of gains recognized from the sale of loans and securities combined with increased expenses related to foreclosed real estate owned, partially offset by a reduced provision for loan losses.  Earnings per share (fully diluted) were $.59 in the 2013 period, decreasing from the $.61 earned in the similar period of last year after adjusting for the retroactive effect of the 10% stock dividend declared during the first quarter of 2013.  Annualized return on average assets for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was 1.22% with an annualized return on average equity of 9.33%.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $6,284,000, which is $360,000 lower than the same period of 2012 due to increased loan loss provisions and operating expenses.  Earnings per share (fully diluted) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $1.73 per share compared to $1.84 per share in the 2012 period after adjusting for the 10% stock dividend.
Total assets as of September 30, 2013 were $703.8 million with loans receivable of $487.0 million, deposits of $548.7 million and stockholders’ equity of $91.3 million.  Total assets have increased $5.1 million during the twelve months ended September 30, 2013 due primarily to growth in deposits.

Loans receivable increased $7.5 million from September 30, 2012, due to an $18.2 million increase in consumer loans which was partially offset by a $10.7 million decrease in commercial lending.
Non-performing assets, which include non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate owned, totaled $11.3 million and 1.60% of total assets as of September 30, 2013 compared to $12.9 million and 1.85% of assets as of June 30, 2013 and $14.4 million or 2.07% of total assets as of September 30, 2012.  Net charge-offs were $590,000 for the quarter and totaled $1,943,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1,334,000 and $1,767,000, respectively, for the similar periods in 2012.  Based on the level of charge-offs, the Company determined that it would be appropriate to provide $400,000 and $2,000,000 for potential future loan losses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $900,000 and $1,650,000, respectively, for the similar periods in 2012.  The allowance for loan losses totaled $5,558,000 as of September 30, 2013 and represented 1.14% of total loans, increasing from $5,341,000 as of September 30, 2012 and 1.11% of total loans.
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte), totaled $6,578,000, which represents an increase of $17,000 compared to the similar period in 2012.  Net interest margin (fte) for the 2013 period was 4.05% compared to 4.07% for the similar period in 2012.  Net interest income (fte) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $19,396,000, a decrease of $235,000  compared to the similar period in 2012 due to reduced earnings on loans and securities resulting from reinvestment at current lower market rates.  Net interest margin (fte) year-to- date for the 2013 period was 4.04% compared to 4.10% in 2012.

Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $1,216,000 compared to $1,591,000 for the similar period in 2012.  The decrease was principally due to reduced gains on the sales of loans and investment securities during the period.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, other income totaled $4,305,000 compared to $4,088,000 in the 2012 period.  Gains on the sales of investment securities totaled $590,000 on sales of $30.0 million for the 2013 year-to-date period compared to $1,318,000 on sales of $23.3 million in the corresponding 2012 period.  The proceeds from investment securities sales were reinvested to improve the quality of the Company’s bond portfolio as well as to fund new securities purchases and loan growth.  Gains from the sale of loans were down $95,000 in the current three month period and $152,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2013 when compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year due to reduced activity in this area.  The decline in gains on sales during the nine-month period was offset by $770,000 of insurance proceeds from a bank-owned life insurance policy.
Other expenses totaled $4,173,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $3,957,000 in the similar period of 2012.  Foreclosed real estate costs increased $240,000 due to maintenance costs and write-downs on foreclosed properties.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, other expenses totaled $12,607,000 compared to $12,061,000 for the similar period in 2012, an increase of $546,000, or 4.5%, which includes a $310,000 increase in foreclosed real estate costs.
Mr. Critelli commented, “We are continuing to work our way through credit quality issues that have been brought on by the prolonged economic downturn, which has placed stress on customers’ cash flow and reduced real estate values.  Improving our credit quality will remain a top priority.  The ongoing low interest rate environment also continues

to place pressure on our net interest margin, however, our year-to-date margin exceeds 4.00% and our capital levels remain well above peer.  We look forward to serving our growing base of stockholders and customers as our economy slowly recovers from the extended economic downturn.”
