NEWS RELEASE

TO BUSINESS EDITOR:

PEOPLES FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP. Reports Fourth Quarter 2014 Earnings

Scranton, PA, February 3/PRNEWSWIRE/ – Peoples Financial Services Corp. (“Peoples”) (NASDAQ: PFIS), the bank holding company for Peoples Security Bank and Trust Company, today reported unaudited financial results at and for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014. Peoples, which completed a merger with Penseco Financial Services Corporation (“Penseco”) on November 30, 2013, reported net income of $4.4 million, or $0.58 per basic and diluted weighted average share for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.39 per share, for the comparable period of 2013. The results for the three months ended December 31, 2013 include pre-tax acquisition related expenses of $4.4 million and a $1.4 million charge for the extinguishment of a post retirement life insurance liability.

Core net income for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $4.4 million, a $3.6 million increase from $760 thousand for the same period in 2013. Core net income per share for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $0.58, compared to $0.14 for the same period in 2013.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014, totaled $17.6 million, or $2.34 per basic and diluted weighted average share, compared to $5.7 million, or $1.21 per share, for the same period last year. Pre-tax merger related expenses totaled $1.7 million in 2014 and $4.6 million in 2013. For the year ended December 31, net gains on sale of investment securities were $861 thousand in 2014 and $163 thousand in 2013. Core net income for the year ended December 31, was $18.2 million, or $2.41 per share, in 2014 and $8.7 million, or $1.83 per share, in 2013.

The merger between Peoples and Penseco was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Peoples by Penseco. As a result of the reverse merger, Peoples was the legal acquirer and Penseco was the accounting acquirer. In a reverse merger the historical financial statements are those of the accounting acquirer. Earnings per share amounts in periods prior to the merger are based on restated shares outstanding.

In addition to evaluating its results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), Peoples routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as tangible stockholders’ equity and core net income ratios. For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, reported results for 2014 and 2013 contained items which Peoples considers non-core, namely net gains on sales of investment securities available-for-sale and one-time merger related expenses. Peoples believes the reported non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding its operating performance and trends. Where non-GAAP disclosures are used in this press release, a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure is provided in the accompanying tables. The non-GAAP financial measures Peoples uses may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures of other financial institutions.

    Loans, net grew $30.0 million or 10.1% on an annualized basis in the final quarter of 2014.

INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the quarter and year ended December 31, were 3.79% and 3.86% in 2014, respectively, compared to 3.82% and 3.91% in 2013, respectively. Loan fair value accretion included in loan interest income in 2014 related to loans acquired in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $2.1 million, resulting in an increase in the tax-equivalent net interest margin of 14 basis points. For the fourth quarter of 2014, loan accretion included in loan interest income related to loans acquired was $240 thousand, resulting in an increase in the tax-equivalent net interest margin of 6 basis points.

Tax-equivalent net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, increased $4.7 million to $15.1 million in 2014 from $10.4 million in 2013. The increase in tax equivalent net interest income was primarily due to the growth in average earning assets from the merger offset partially by a 3 basis point decrease in the tax-equivalent net interest margin. The tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio decreased to 4.74% for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to 4.76% for the comparable period in 2013. For the fourth quarter, loans, net averaged $1.2 billion in 2014 compared to $833.1 million in 2013. For the quarter ended December 31, the tax-equivalent yield on total investments decreased to 2.57% in 2014 from 2.95% in 2013. Average investments totaled $360.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $220.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The cost of funds declined to 0.54% in the three months ended December 31, 2014 from 0.60% for the same period of 2013. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased to $1.2 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $808.4 million for the corresponding period last year. For the year ended December 31, tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $60.3 million in 2014 and $35.4 million in 2013. The significant increases in the 2014 versus 2013 year-over-year income statement components primarily resulted from the application of purchase accounting whereby those components of the legal acquirer for periods prior to the merger were excluded from Peoples 2013 income statement.

The provision for loan losses was $800 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $1.0 million for the same period last year. The reduction in the provision for loan losses for the quarter was due to the application of our allowance for loan losses methodology, which was primarily a result of improvements in asset quality as evidenced by reporting a lower level of nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and foreclosed assets compared to the prior year period. The provision for loan losses totaled $3.5 million in 2014 and $2.4 million in 2013.

For the quarter ended December 31, noninterest income totaled $3.5 million in 2014 and $2.9 million in 2013. Increases in service charges, fees and commissions, income from fiduciary activities and mortgage banking activities more than offset decreases in wealth management services, life insurance investment income, revenues from merchant services and net gains on sale of investment securities. For the year ended December 31, noninterest income totaled $15.3 million in 2014 and $11.8 million in 2013.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2014, decreased to $11.3 million from $15.1 million for the same period in 2013. The recognition of merger related expense of $4.4 million in the final quarter of


2013 offset partially by the exclusion of noninterest expenses of the legal acquirer prior to the merger date were the primary causes for this decrease. Noninterest expense amounted to $45.9 million in 2014 and $36.4 million in 2013. The increase in year-to-date 2014 noninterest expense primarily resulting from the application of purchase accounting guidance was partially offset by the recognition of merger related cost savings as a result of achieving operational synergies in the second half of 2014.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Total assets increased $16.9 million or 3.9% on an annualized basis for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Strong loan demand resulted in an increase of $30.0 million or 10.1% on an annualized basis in the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase was attributable to growth fostered by our entrance into the Lehigh Valley market and improved demand for business lending in existing markets. The loan growth was funded by a $13.0 million increase in overnight borrowings along with payments and prepayments on loans and investments. The balance of total deposits at December 31, 2014 was at the same level reported at September 30, 2014. Total investments declined $11.8 million to $354.3 million at December 31, 2014 from $366.1 million at the end of the prior quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2014, loans increased $33.3 million or 2.8% while investments grew $37.2 million or 11.7% in 2014. The balance sheet growth in 2014 was driven by an increase in total deposits of $46.1 million or 3.4% to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2014. Noninterest-bearing deposits grew $33.6 million or 12.0% while interest-bearing deposits increased $12.5 million or 1.1% in 2014.

Stockholders’ equity equaled $246.8 million, or $32.69 per share, at December 31, 2014, and $246.1 million, or $32.60 per share, at September 30, 2014. Total tangible stockholders’ equity improved to $177.9 million, or $23.57 per share, at December 31, 2014, compared to $176.9 million, or $23.43 per share, at the end of the prior quarter. Stockholders’ equity grew $8.0 million in 2014 as net income was partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, dividends and the retirement of common shares held as treasury stock. Dividends declared for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to $0.31 per share and $1.24 per share. The dividend payout ratio was 53.0% in 2014.

ASSET QUALITY REVIEW

Nonperforming assets were $10.9 million or 0.90% of loans, net and foreclosed assets at December 31, 2014, an improvement from $13.1 million or 1.11% at September 30, 2014, and $19.5 million or 1.65% at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses equaled $10.3 million or 0.85% of loans, net at December 31, 2014, compared to $10.2 million or 0.86% of loans, net, at September 30, 2014, and $8.7 million or 0.74% of loans, net, at December 31, 2013. Loans charged-off, net of recoveries, for the three months ended December 31, 2014, equaled $633 thousand or 0.21% of average loans, compared to $256 thousand or 0.12% of average loans for the comparable period last year. For the year, loans charged-off, net of recoveries amounted to $1.8 million or 0.15% of average loans in 2014, compared to $660 thousand or 0.10% of average loans in 2013.

Safe Harbor Forward-Looking Statements:

We make statements in this press release, and we may from time to time make other statements, regarding our outlook or expectations for future financial or operating results and/or other matters regarding or affecting Peoples Financial Services Corp., Peoples Security Bank and Trust Company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Peoples”) that are considered “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of such words as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “planned,” “estimated,” “intend” and “potential.” For these statements, Peoples claims the protection of the statutory safe harbors for forward-looking statements.

Peoples cautions you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include, but are not limited to: prevailing economic and political conditions, particularly in our market area; credit risk associated with our lending activities; changes in interest rates, loan demand, real estate values and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, and guidelines; changes in any applicable law, rule, regulation or practice with respect to tax or legal issues; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting Peoples’ operations, pricing, products and services and other factors that may be described in Peoples’ Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

In addition to these risks, acquisitions and business combinations, such as Peoples recent merger with Penseco Financial Services Corporation, present risks other than those presented by the nature of the business acquired. Acquisitions and business combinations may be substantially more expensive to complete than originally anticipated, and the anticipated benefits may be significantly harder-or take longer-to achieve than expected. As regulated financial institutions, our pursuit of attractive acquisition and business combination opportunities could be negatively impacted by regulatory delays or other regulatory issues. Regulatory and/or legal issues related to the pre-acquisition operations of an acquired or combined business may cause reputational harm to Peoples following the acquisition or combination, and integration of the acquired or combined business with ours may result in additional future costs arising as a result of those issues.

The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release, and, except as may be required by applicable law or regulation, Peoples assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
