Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 270.  Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the financial information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations for the reported periods, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

 

Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (“Corporation” or “Codorus Valley”) is a one-bank holding company headquartered in York, Pennsylvania that provides a full range of banking services through its subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company (“PeoplesBank” or “Bank”).  As of March 31, 2020, PeoplesBank operates one wholly-owned subsidiary, Codorus Valley Financial Advisors, Inc. d/b/a PeoplesWealth Advisors, which sells nondeposit products.  In addition, PeoplesBank may periodically create nonbank subsidiaries for the purpose of temporarily holding foreclosed properties pending the liquidation of these properties.  PeoplesBank operates under a state charter and is subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Corporation is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Codorus Valley and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, PeoplesBank, and a wholly-owned nonbank subsidiary, SYC Realty Company, Inc.  SYC Realty was inactive during the period ended March 31, 2020.  The accounts of CVB Statutory Trust No. 1 and No. 2 are not included in the consolidated financial statements as discussed in Note 7—Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt.  All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The accounting and reporting policies of Codorus Valley and subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been followed on a consistent basis.

 

These consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 855, the Corporation evaluated the events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2020 and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, for items of potential recognition or disclosure.

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin.  In March 2020, the WHO classified the coronavirus as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

 

The full impact of the coronavirus continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Corporation’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the coronavirus and the global responses to curb its spread, the Corporation is not able to estimate the effects of the coronavirus on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

 

- 8 -

 

In addition, the adverse economic effects of the coronavirus may lead to an increase in credit risk on the Corporation’s commercial and residential loan portfolios.  Likewise, the Corporation is also monitoring the fluctuations in the markets as it pertains to interest rates and fair value of our investments for OTTI. To curtail the spread of the virus, we are currently restricting branch access to the drive-through window or appointment-only at all locations.

 

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act in response to the coronavirus pandemic. This legislation aims at providing relief for individuals and businesses that have been negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.  

 

The CARES Act includes a provision for the Corporation to opt out of applying the TDR accounting guidance in ASC 310-40 for certain loan modifications. Loan modifications made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of i) December 30, 2020 or ii) 60 days after the President declares a termination of the COVID-19 national emergency are eligible for this relief if the related loans were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019.

 

While the Corporation continues to evaluate the disruption caused by the pandemic and impact of the CARES Act, these events may have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s results of future operations, financial position, capital, and liquidity in fiscal year 2020. Further, a decrease in results of future operations may place a strain on the Corporation’s capital reserve ratios.

 

Loans

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances less amounts charged off, net of an allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Generally, loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) over the contractual life of the loan.  The loans receivable portfolio is segmented into commercial and consumer loans.  Commercial loans consist of the following industry classes: builder & developer, commercial real estate investor, residential real estate investor, hotel/motel, wholesale & retail, agriculture, manufacturing and all other.  Consumer loans consist of the following classes: residential mortgage, home equity and all other.

 

Generally, for all classes of loans receivable, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan may be currently performing. A past due loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans, including impaired loans, generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to the Corporation’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, nonaccrual loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, generally six months, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.  The past due status of all classes of loans receivable is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents the Corporation’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans.  The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectable are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. While the Corporation attributes a portion of the allowance to individual loans and groups of loans that it evaluates and determines to be impaired, the allowance is available to cover all charge-offs that arise from the loan portfolio. 

 

- 9 -

 

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to provide for probable incurred losses. The Corporation performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance.  The allowance is based on the Corporation’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired, generally nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructurings.  For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the collateral value (or discounted cash flows or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers pools of loans by loan class, including commercial loans not considered impaired, as well as smaller balance homogeneous loans such as residential real estate, home equity and other consumer loans.  These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these classes of loans, adjusted for qualitative (environmental) risk factors.  Historical loss rates are based on a two year rolling average of net charge-offs.  Qualitative risk factors that supplement historical losses in the evaluation of loan pools are shown below.  Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on the Corporation’s best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation.

As disclosed in Note 4—Loans, the Corporation engages in commercial and consumer lending.  Loans are made within the Corporation’s primary market area and surrounding areas, and include the purchase of whole loan or participation interests in loans from other financial institutions.   Commercial loans, which pose the greatest risk of loss to the Corporation, whether originated or purchased, are generally secured by real estate.  Within the broad commercial loan segment, the builder & developer and commercial real estate investor loan classes generally present a higher level of risk than other commercial loan classifications.  This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effect of general economic conditions on income producing properties, unstable real estate prices and the dependency upon successful construction and sale or operation of the real estate project.  Within the consumer loan segment, junior (i.e., second) liens present a higher risk to the Corporation because economic and housing market conditions can adversely affect the underlying value of the collateral, which could render the Corporation under-secured or unsecured.  In addition, economic and housing market conditions can adversely affect the ability of some borrowers to service their debt.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  The Corporation determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Loans that are deemed impaired are evaluated for impairment loss based on the net realizable value of the collateral, as applicable. Loans that are not collateral dependent will rely on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate to determine impairment loss. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans such as residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and other consumer loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, unless they are classified as impaired. 

 

An allowance for loan losses is established for an impaired commercial loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value.  For commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals of the underlying collateral. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary.  This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the most recent appraisal and the condition of the property.  Appraisals are generally discounted to provide for selling costs and other factors to determine an estimate of the net realizable value of the property. For commercial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. In instances when specific consumer related loans become impaired, they may be partially or fully charged off, which eliminates the need for a specific allowance.

 

Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructurings if the Corporation grants borrowers experiencing financial difficulties concessions that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring may involve an interest rate that is below the market rate given the associated credit risk of the loan or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date.  Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are designated as impaired. Non-accrual troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for a reasonable period of time, generally six consecutive months after modification and future payments are reasonably assured. 

 

Foreclosed Real Estate

Foreclosed real estate, included in other assets, is comprised of property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or property that is acquired through in-substance foreclosure. Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value minus estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis.  Any difference between the carrying value and the new cost basis is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Appraisals, obtained from an independent third party, are generally used to determine fair value.  After foreclosure, management reviews valuations at least quarterly and adjusts the asset to the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell through a valuation allowance or a write-down.  Costs related to the improvement of foreclosed real estate are generally capitalized until the real estate reaches a saleable condition subject to fair value limitations.  Revenue and expense from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in noninterest expense.  When a foreclosed real estate asset is ultimately sold, any gain or loss on the sale is included in the income statement as a component of noninterest expense.  At March 31, 2020 there was $918,000 of foreclosed real estate, $121,000 of which was residential real estate.  Included within loans receivable as of March 31, 2020 was a recorded investment of $348,000 of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties, for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) associated with the sold loans are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets at an amount equal to the estimated fair value of the contractual rights to service the mortgage loans.  The MSR asset is amortized as a reduction to servicing income.  The MSR asset is evaluated periodically for impairment and carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.  A third party calculates fair value by discounting the estimated cash flows from servicing income using a rate consistent with the risk associated with these assets and an estimate of future net servicing income of the underlying loans.  In the event that the amortized cost of the MSR asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, a valuation allowance would be established through a charge against servicing income.  Subsequent fair value evaluations may determine that impairment has been reduced or eliminated, in which case the valuation allowance would be reduced through a credit to earnings.  At March 31, 2020, the balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $114,169,000 compared to $115,620,000 at December 31, 2019.

Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible Assets

Goodwill arising from acquisitions is not amortized, but is subject to an annual impairment test. This test consists of a qualitative analysis.  If the Corporation determines events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a quantitative analysis must be completed.  Analyses may also be performed between annual tests.  Significant judgment is applied when goodwill is assessed for impairment. This judgment includes developing cash flow projections, selecting appropriate discount rates, identifying relevant market comparables, incorporating general economic and market conditions, and selecting an appropriate control premium.  The Corporation completes its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1st of each year. Based upon a qualitative analysis of goodwill, the Corporation concluded that the amount of recorded goodwill was not impaired as of October 1, 2019. 

 

Core deposit intangibles represent the value assigned to demand, interest checking, money market, and savings accounts acquired as part of an acquisition.  The core deposit intangible value represents the future economic benefit of potential cost savings from acquiring core deposits as part of an acquisition compared to the cost of alternative funding sources and the alternative cost to grow a similar core deposit base.  The core deposit intangible asset resulting from the merger with Madison Bancorp, Inc. was determined to have a definite life and is being amortized using the sum of the years’ digits method over ten years.  All intangible assets must be evaluated for impairment if certain events or changes in circumstances occur. Any impairment write-downs would be recognized as expense on the consolidated statements of income.

 

At March 31, 2020, the Corporation does not have any indicators of potential impairment of either goodwill or core deposit intangibles.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue from contracts with customers that are required to be recognized under FASB ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Corporation recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. 

 

The majority of the Corporation’s revenue-generating transactions are not within the scope of ASC 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans, letters of credit, derivatives and investment securities, as well as revenue related to our mortgage servicing activities, as these activities are subject to other U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) discussed elsewhere within our disclosures. Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in our consolidated statements of income as components of non-interest income are as follows:

 

Trust and investment service fees – The Corporation provides trust, investment management custody and irrevocable life insurance trust services to customers. Such services are rendered in accordance with the underlying contracts for which fees are earned.  The Corporation’s performance obligations are generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided.  Payment for services rendered is primarily received in the following month.

 

Income from mutual fund, annuity and insurance sales – The Corporation sells mutual funds, annuity and insurance products to its customers. The Corporation’s performance obligation is met upon the signing of the product agreement and, in certain cases, a time component may exist when the customer has the right to rescind the agreement with or without penalty. The Corporation recognizes revenues upon delivery of the product or service unless there is a time component in which case revenues are recognized utilizing the expected value method.  Payment for services rendered is primarily received in the following month.

 

Service charges on deposits accounts – These represent general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity- or transaction based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, cashier’s checks and other services.  Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is completed which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed.  Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to the customers’ accounts.

 

Other noninterest income – The Corporation evaluated individual components of other noninterest income, such as credit card merchant fees, credit and gift card fees and ATM fees.  Debit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Corporation’s debit cards are processed through payment networks, such as Visa.  Credit and gift card income is realized through a third party provider who issues cards as private label in the Corporation’s name.  ATM fees are primarily generated when a non-Corporation cardholder uses a Corporation ATM.  The income is primarily comprised as a percentage of interchange fees earned whenever the issuer’s card is processed through card payment networks, such as Visa or Pulse.  Merchant services income is realized through a third party service provider who is contracted by the Corporation under a referral arrangement.  Such fees represent fees charged to merchants to process their debit card transactions. The Corporation’s performance obligation for these fees are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion.  Payment is typically received within a one to three day lag or in the following month.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Pronouncements Adopted in 2020

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This standard simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill, which currently is Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, the goodwill impairment test will consist of a single quantitative step comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective for annual and any interim goodwill impairment tests in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Corporation adopted this standard effective with its January 1, 2020 goodwill impairment test. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The following disclosure requirements were removed: the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The following disclosure requirements were modified: for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, and entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of investee’s assets and the amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. The following disclosure requirements were added: the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with those incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This standard requires application of Subtopic 350-40 to determine which costs to implement the service contract would be capitalized as an asset and which costs would be expensed. The amendments in the update are effective for the years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard adds a new Topic 326 which requires companies to measure and record impairment on financial instruments at the time of origination using the expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model calculates impairment based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, and reflects the organization’s current estimate of all expected credit losses over the contractual term of its financial assets. The new standard was delayed and is now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Corporation expects the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 to impact the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, in particular, the level of the reserve for credit losses. The Corporation is continuing to evaluate the extent of the potential impact and expects that portfolio composition and economic conditions at the time of adoption will be a factor.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20). The amendments in this update remove disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The update is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on its disclosures.

Note 2 – Securities

 

A summary of securities available-for-sale at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is provided below. The securities available-for-sale portfolio is generally comprised of high quality debt instruments, principally obligations of the United States government or agencies thereof and investments in the obligations of states and municipalities. The majority of municipal bonds in the portfolio are general obligation bonds, which can draw upon multiple sources of revenue, including taxes, for payment. Only a few bonds are revenue bonds, which are dependent upon a single revenue stream for payment, but they are for critical services such as water and sewer. In many cases, municipal debt issues are insured or, in the case of school districts of selected states, backed by specific loss reserves. At March 31, 2020, while 90 percent of the fair value of the municipal bond portfolio was concentrated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the portfolio was intentionally distributed to limit exposure with the largest issuer at $2.3 million.

Securities available-for-sale are analyzed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. The analysis considers, among other factors: 1) whether the Corporation has the intent to sell its securities prior to market recovery or maturity; 2) whether it is more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell its securities prior to market recovery or maturity; 3) default rates/history by security type; 4) third-party securities ratings; 5) third-party guarantees; 6) subordination; 7) payment delinquencies; 8) nature of the issuer; and 9) current financial news.

 

The Corporation believes that unrealized losses at March 31, 2020 were primarily the result of changes in market interest rates and that the Corporation has the ability to hold these investments for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost. Through March 31, 2020 the Corporation has collected all interest and principal on its investment securities as scheduled. The Corporation believes that collection of the contractual principal and interest is probable and, therefore, all impairment is considered to be temporary.

 

Note 3—Restricted Investment in Bank Stocks

 

Restricted stock, which represents required investments in the common stock of correspondent banks, is carried at cost and, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, consisted primarily of the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLBP”) and, to a lesser degree, Atlantic Community Bancshares, Inc. (“ACBI”), the parent company of Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”). Under the FHLBP’s Capital Plan member banks, including PeoplesBank, are required to maintain a minimum stock investment. The FHLBP uses a formula to determine the minimum stock investment, which is based on the volume of loans outstanding, unused borrowing capacity and other factors.

 

- 17 -

 

 

The FHLBP paid dividends during the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The FHLBP restricts the repurchase of the excess capital stock of member banks. The amount of excess capital stock that can be repurchased from any member is currently the lesser of five percent of the member’s total capital stock outstanding or its excess capital stock outstanding.

 

Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 942. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Using the FHLBP as an example, the determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of cost is influenced by criteria such as: (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLBP as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLBP and the length of time this situation has persisted; (2) commitments by the FHLBP to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLBP; and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLBP. Management believes no impairment charge was necessary related to the restricted stock during the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Note 4—Loans

 

Loan Portfolio Composition

 

The table below provides the composition of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The portfolio is comprised of two segments, commercial and consumer loans. The commercial loan segment is disaggregated by industry class which allows the Corporation to monitor risk and performance. Those industries representing the largest dollar investment and most risk are listed separately. The “Other” commercial loans category is comprised of various industries. The consumer related segment is comprised of residential mortgages, home equity and other consumer loans. The Corporation has not engaged in sub-prime residential mortgage originations.

Loan Risk Ratings

 

The Corporation’s internal risk rating system follows regulatory guidance as to risk classifications and definitions. Every approved loan is assigned a risk rating. Generally, risk ratings for commercial related loans and residential mortgages held for investment are determined by a formal evaluation of risk factors performed by the Corporation’s underwriting staff. For consumer loans, and commercial loans up to $500,000, the Corporation uses third-party credit scoring software models for risk rating purposes. The loan portfolio is monitored on a continuous basis by loan officers, loan review personnel and senior management. Adjustments of loan risk ratings are generally performed by the Special Asset Committee (the ‘Committee’), which includes senior management. The Committee, which typically meets at least quarterly, makes changes, as appropriate, to risk ratings when it becomes aware of credit events such as payment delinquency, cessation of a business or project, bankruptcy or death of the borrower, or changes in collateral value. In addition to review by the Committee, existing loans are monitored by the primary loan officer and loan review to determine if any changes, upward or downward, in risk ratings are appropriate. An external consultant is also used to review a portion of the existing portfolio and recommend rating changes as appropriate. Primary loan officers and internal loan review may downgrade existing loans, except to nonaccrual status. Only the Committee, Executive Chairman or President/CEO may upgrade a loan that is classified.

 

The Corporation uses ten risk ratings to grade commercial loans. The first seven ratings, representing the lowest risk, are combined and given a “pass” rating. A pass rating is a satisfactory credit rating, which applies to a loan that is expected to perform in accordance with the loan agreement and has a low probability of loss. A loan rated “special mention” has a potential weakness which may, if not corrected, weaken the loan or inadequately protect the Corporation’s position at some future date. A loan rated “substandard” is inadequately protected by the current net worth or paying capacity of the borrower, or of the collateral pledged. A “substandard” loan has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that could jeopardize liquidation of the loan, which exposes the Corporation to loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. When circumstances indicate that collection of the loan is doubtful, the loan is risk-rated “nonaccrual,” the accrual of interest income is discontinued, and any unpaid interest previously credited to income is reversed. The table below does not include the regulatory classification of “doubtful,” nor does it include the regulatory classification of “loss”, because the Corporation promptly charges off loan losses.

Impaired Loans

 

The table below presents a summary of impaired loans at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Generally, impaired loans are all loans risk rated nonaccrual or classified troubled debt restructuring. An allowance is established for individual loans that are commercial related where the Corporation has doubt as to the full recovery of the outstanding principal balance. Typically, impaired consumer related loans are partially or fully charged-off eliminating the need for specific allowance. The recorded investment represents outstanding unpaid principal loan balances adjusted for payments collected on a non-cash basis and charge-offs.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are designated impaired and arise when the Corporation grants borrowers experiencing financial difficulties concessions that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions granted with respect to these loans generally involve an extension of the maturity date or a below market interest rate relative to new debt with similar credit risk. Generally, these loans are secured by real estate. If repayment of the loan is determined to be collateral dependent, the loan is evaluated for impairment loss based on the fair value of the collateral. For loans that are not collateral dependent, the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, is used to determine any impairment loss. A nonaccrual TDR represents a nonaccrual loan, as previously defined, which includes an economic concession. Nonaccrual TDRs are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six consecutive payments after the modification and future principal and interest payments are reasonably assured. In contrast, an accruing TDR represents a loan that, at the time of the modification, has a demonstrated history of payments and management believes that future loan payments are reasonably assured under the modified terms. TDRs included as impaired loans totaled $1,598,000 and $1,650,000 as of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. There are no commitments to lend additional amounts to these TDRs as of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

 

The table below shows loans whose terms have been modified under TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. There were no impairment losses recognized on these TDRs. There were no defaults during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 for TDRs entered into during the previous 12 month period. As of March 31, 2020, there were no modifications completed under the CARES Act. As of April 30, 2020, there have been modifications to 35 consumer loans totaling approximately $2,000,000 and 13 commercial loans totaling approximately $41,000,000 under the CARES Act, which are not considered TDRs.

Note 7—Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt 

 

Short-term borrowings consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, federal funds purchased and other borrowings. At March 31, 2020, the balance of securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $6,196,000 compared to $7,925,000 at December 31, 2019. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no other short-term borrowings. 

 

The following table presents a summary of long-term debt as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. PeoplesBank’s long-term debt obligations to the FHLBP are fixed rate instruments. Under terms of a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLBP, the obligations are secured by FHLBP stock and PeoplesBank qualifying loan receivables, principally real estate secured loans.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, municipal deposit letters of credit issued by the FHLBP on behalf of PeoplesBank naming applicable municipalities as beneficiaries were $42,000,000. The letters of credit took the place of securities pledged to the municipalities for their deposits maintained at PeoplesBank. 

 

In June 2006, Codorus Valley formed CVB Statutory Trust No. 2, a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary whose sole purpose was to facilitate a pooled trust preferred debt issuance of $7,217,000. In November 2004, Codorus Valley formed CVB Statutory Trust No. 1 to facilitate a pooled trust preferred debt issuance of $3,093,000. The Corporation owns all of the common stock of these nonbank subsidiaries, and the debentures are the sole assets of the Trusts. The accounts of both Trusts are not consolidated for financial reporting purposes in accordance with FASB ASC 810. For regulatory capital purposes, all of the Corporation’s trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1 capital for all reported periods. Trust preferred securities are subject to capital limitations under the FDIC’s risk-based capital guidelines. The Corporation used the net proceeds from these offerings to fund its operations. 

 

Note 8—Leases 

 

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-02 “Leases” (Topic 842) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. For the Corporation, Topic 842 affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Corporation is the lessee. 

 

Substantially all of the leases in which the Corporation is the lessee are comprised of real estate property, ATM locations, and office space. Substantially all of our leases are classified as operating leases, and therefore, were previously not recognized on the Corporation’s consolidated statements of condition. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated statements of condition as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Corporation has one finance lease for one financial center. 

 

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated statement of condition. All other leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 25 years, some of which include options to extend. Upon opening a new financial center, we typically install brand-specific leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or length of the lease. To the extent that the initial lease term of the related lease is less than the useful life of the leasehold improvements and, taking into consideration the dollar amount of the improvements, we conclude that it is reasonably certain that a renewal option will be exercised, the renewal period is included in the lease term, and the related payments are reflected in the ROU asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, Topic 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Corporation utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on an amortizing and collateralized basis, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used. For the Corporation’s financing leases, the Corporation utilized its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception. 

 

All of our leases include fixed rental payments. We commonly enter into leases under which the lease payments increase at pre-determined dates based on the change in the consumer price index. While the majority of our leases are gross leases, we also have a number of leases in which we make separate payments to the lessor based on the lessor’s property and casualty insurance cost and the property taxes assessed on the property, as well as a portion of the common area maintenance associated with the property. We have elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and nonlease components for all of our building leases.

Note 9—Regulatory Matters

 

The Corporation and PeoplesBank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies.  Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators.  Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that, if imposed, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.  The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital.  Management believes as of March 31, 2020, the Corporation and PeoplesBank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

 

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications:  well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition.  If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits.  If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.  As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized PeoplesBank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Note 10—Shareholders’ Equity

 

Stock Dividend

 

Periodically, the Corporation distributes stock dividends on its common stock. The Corporation distributed 5 percent stock dividends on December 10, 2019 and December 11, 2018, which resulted in the issuance of 463,193 and 447,092 additional shares, respectively.

 

Share Repurchase

 

The Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a new Share Repurchase Program (“Program”) in March 2020. Under the newly approved Program, the Corporation is authorized to repurchase up to $5 million of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding common stock. All shares of common stock repurchased pursuant to the Program shall be held as treasury shares and be available for use and reissuance for purposes as and when determined by the Board of Directors including, without limitation, pursuant to the Corporation’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and its equity compensation program.  During the first quarter of 2020 the Corporation repurchased 5,335 shares at an average price of $16.37.  Shortly after the Program began, and in response to COVID-19, the Corporation suspended the Program.

There are no legal proceedings pending against Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries which are expected to have a material impact upon the consolidated financial position and/or operating results of the Corporation, other than routine litigation incidental to the business. Management is not aware of any proceedings known or contemplated by government authorities.

 

Note 12—Guarantees    

 

Codorus Valley does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit.  Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by PeoplesBank to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party.  Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to clients.  The Corporation generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments.  The Corporation had $20,059,000 of standby letters of credit outstanding on March 31, 2020, compared to $17,253,000 on December 31, 2019. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding letters of credit. The amount of the liability as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued, was not material. Many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, generally do not present significant liquidity risk to the Corporation or PeoplesBank.

 

Note 13—Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

 

The Corporation uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique.  The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates.  As such, the estimated fair values subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period end.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date.  GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

 

Level 1:  Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.  A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

 

Level 2:  Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;  inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the  valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

 

Level 3:  Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement; inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which significant assumptions are not observable in the market; or inputs to the valuation methodology that require significant management judgment or estimation, some of which may be internally developed.

 

- 32 -

 

Since management maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value, an asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis.

 

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

Securities available-for-sale

 

The fair values of investment securities were measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique, used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities, but rather, by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

Impaired loans  

Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310, in which the Corporation has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral.  Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds.  These loans are included as Level 3 fair values, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.  At March 31, 2020, the fair value of impaired loans with a valuation allowance or partial charge-off was $10,672,000, net of valuation allowances of $7,851,000 and partial charge-offs of $7,634,000.  At December 31, 2019 the fair value of impaired loans with a valuation allowance or charge-off was $11,297,000, net of valuation allowances of $7,420,000 and charge-offs of $134,000. 

 

- 33 -

 

 

Foreclosed Real Estate

 

Other real estate property acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value of the property at the transfer date less estimated selling cost. Subsequently, other real estate owned is carried at the lower of its carrying value or the fair value less estimated selling cost. Fair value is usually determined based on an independent third-party appraisal of the property or occasionally on a recent sales offer. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of foreclosed real estate with a valuation allowance or write-down was $797,000 which is net of write-downs of $617,000.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

Mortgage servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value upon the sale of residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors. The fair value of servicing rights is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows on pools of mortgages stratified by rate and original time to maturity. Mortgage servicing rights are subsequently evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. Significant inputs to the valuation include expected cash flow, expected net servicing income, a cash flow discount rate and the expected life of the underlying loans. At March 31, 2020, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights asset was $740,000. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of the mortgage servicing asset was $1,047,000.

Note 14—Assets and Liabilities Subject to Offsetting

 

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

 

PeoplesBank enters into agreements with clients in which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same securities (“repurchase agreements”). The contractual maturity of the repurchase agreement is overnight and continues until either party terminates the agreement. These repurchase agreements are accounted for as a collateralized financing arrangement (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability (short-term borrowings) in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements of condition, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements are appropriately segregated for safekeeping purposes and remain in the respective securities asset accounts. Thus, there is no offsetting or netting of the securities with the repurchase agreement liabilities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (“Codorus Valley” or “the Corporation”), a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company (“PeoplesBank”), are provided below. Codorus Valley’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of PeoplesBank’s financial condition and results of operations. Current performance does not guarantee, and may not be indicative of, similar performance in the future.

 

Forward-looking Statements

 

Management of the Corporation has made forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements may be subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. When words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates” or similar expressions occur in the Form 10-Q, management is making forward-looking statements.

 

Note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this report and in the documents that are incorporated by reference, could affect the future financial results of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, both individually and collectively, and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Operating, legal and regulatory risks;

Credit risk, including an increase in nonperforming assets requiring loss provisions and the incurrence of carrying costs related to nonperforming assets;
Interest rate fluctuations which could increase our cost of funds or decrease our yield on earning assets and therefore reduce our net interest income;
Declines in the market value of investment securities considered to be other-than-temporary;
Unavailability of capital when needed, or availability at less than favorable terms;
Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client or customer information, whether through a breach of our computer systems or otherwise, which may adversely affect the Corporation’s operations, net income or reputation;
Inability to achieve merger-related synergies, and difficulties in integrating the business and operations of acquired institutions;
A prolonged economic downturn or excessive inflation;
Political and competitive forces affecting banking, securities, asset management and credit services businesses;
Occurrence of natural or man-made disasters or calamities, including health emergencies, the spread of infectious diseases, or pandemics;
The effects of and changes in the rate of FDIC premiums, including special assessments;
Future legislative or administrative changes to U.S. governmental capital programs;
Future changes in federal or state tax laws or tax rates;
Enacted financial reform legislation, e.g., Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, may have a significant impact on the Corporation’s business and results of operations; and
The risk that management’s analyses of these risks and forces could be incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful.

 

COVID – 19 Pandemic

 

Community-based financial services companies like Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. are in the risk business. We carefully analyze those financial opportunities to which we are presented and determine what level of risk the balance sheet can accept. When we accept a balance sheet risk, we also determine pricing of that risk for both known and unknown events. COVID-19 is an unknown event that no community-based financial institution had the ability to decline, and financial institutions have not risk-priced the effects of COVID-19 on their companies.

During the initial public awareness of the coronavirus, the Corporation’s Pandemic Preparedness and Response Planning Committee (the Committee) convened and began preparing for the health impact of the coronavirus. The Committee, chartered in 2006 in response to the avian flu epidemic, determined its first concern was the well-being of our associates and clients. Prior to the CDC declaring the coronavirus a pandemic, the Corporation’s Crisis Management Team (the Team) convened on March 2nd and have since conducted numerous meetings.

 

Associates

 

The Team, in tandem with Executive Management, drafted and implemented plans to relocate and disperse approximately 50 percent of the Corporation’s staff off-premise, as well as, eliminate lobby service hours at 90 percent of our retail locations. Conversely, for those locations with drive-up facilities, extended service hours were provided. In addition, all of the Corporation’s limited services facilities, located in retirement homes, were closed.

 

Providing additional support for our associates, enhancements made to the PeoplesBank Medical Plan include: waiving copayments for telemedicine visits, as well as waiving cost sharing for in-network, inpatient hospital care for COVID-19 treatment to include deductibles, co-insurance and co-pays for any inpatient care related to COVID-19. For those associates at home due to potential exposure to the virus or who are at a higher health risk, the Corporation continues to provide their regular pay.

 

Finally, the Committee instituted a regimented process whereby every Corporate facility housing its associates undergoes electrostatic disinfection by a third-party vendor, as appropriate and necessary. To date, those associates who have exhibited symptoms of the coronavirus, have all tested negative.

 

Clients

 

The vast majority of our financial centers remain open (for drive-up service) and all or our ATMs remain accessible and in service. We continue to waive all PeoplesBank foreign ATM fees, overdraft fees on personal and business accounts, transfer fees for overdraft protection and early withdrawal on CDs opened greater than seven days for those clients specifically experiencing financial hardship due to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Clients may request to defer interest only or full loan payments, with payments added to the end of the loan. We continue to responsibly and prudently extend credit to qualified borrowers. In addition, we were active participants in the SBA Paycheck Protection Program. As of April 15th when the first round of the Program ended, PeoplesBank had processed 670 applications for approximately $133 million with about $4.2 million in fee income expected for the Corporation.

 

Operations

 

During the past two years, the Corporation implemented an aggressive schedule of equipment/system enhancements and personnel additions to its Information Technology Division. As a result, the Corporation’s associates were able to quickly and efficiently move to an off-premise working environment with little client or associate disruption. During this unusual period, deposit balances continued to grow and the active users on online banking have increased about 60 percent over December 2019. While not optimum, the Corporation is prepared to operate in the foregoing fashion unless and until we feel it is safe for our associates and clients to once again conduct face-to-face financial services transactions.

 

- 38 -

 

 

The Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Corporation’s critical accounting policies, as summarized in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, include those related to the allowance for loan losses, valuation of foreclosed real estate, evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment of securities, and determination of acquisition-related goodwill and fair value adjustments, which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of the respective assets and liabilities. For this Form 10-Q, there were no material changes made to the Corporation’s critical accounting policies, which are more fully disclosed in Item 7 of the Corporation’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

 

Financial Highlights

 

The Corporation’s net loss was $(2,989,000) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to net income of $4,091,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $7,080,000 or 173 percent.

 

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2020 decreased $164,000 or 1 percent below the same period in 2019, primarily due to lower rates of interest on loans and by higher volume and rates of interest on time deposits, partially offset by lower rates on interest bearing demand deposits in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the first quarter of 2019.

 

The Corporation’s net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis) for the first quarter of 2020 was 3.44 percent, compared to 3.69 percent for the first quarter 2019. The net interest margin contraction was a result of lower rates on interest bearing deposits with banks, lower rates on loans and higher volume and rates on time deposits, partially offset by higher volume and rates on interest bearing deposits.

 

The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2020 was $9,435,000, as compared to a provision of $1,050,000 for the first quarter of 2019. The increased provision expense in the first quarter of 2020 was attributed primarily to a partial charge off arising from a single, large commercial lending relationship. Total outstanding credit exposure to this borrower was approximately $8 million, which was reduced by the expected loss of $7.5 million recognized during the quarter after an evaluation of COVID-19’s negative impact to both the creditor’s net asset valuation and the timing of potential distributions. In addition, changes in the external environment created by COVID-19 caused management to increase the qualitative factors for certain loan segments in the allowance for loan loss analysis, which resulted in an additional $1.5 million in provision for loan losses in the quarter. Both periods supported adequate allowance for loan loss coverage, however, changing economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may require future adjustments. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.55 percent at March 31, 2020 as compared to 1.40 percent at December 31, 2019 and 1.34 percent at March 31, 2019.

 

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2020 increased $200,000 or 6 percent compared to the first quarter of 2019. Trust and investment service fees and gain on sales from loans held for sale increased in 2020. The increase was offset by a decrease in income from bank owned life insurance.

 

Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2020 was $758,000 or 6 percent higher than the first quarter of 2019. Higher personnel costs, professional and legal, external data processing and other expense accounted for a majority of the increase. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in FDIC insurance attributable to a lower assessment factor.

 

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2020 decreased by $2,027,000 or 193 percent as compared to the first quarter of 2019 as a result of the lower income before taxes in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the first quarter of 2019.

Income Statement Analysis

 

Net Interest Income

 

Unless otherwise noted, this section discusses interest income and interest expense amounts as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income, which are not presented on a tax equivalent basis.

 

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $15,367,000, a decrease of $164,000 or 1 percent compared to net interest income of $15,531,000 for the first quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower rates of interest on loans and higher volume and rates of interest on time deposits, partially offset by lower rates of interest bearing demand deposits in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the first quarter of 2019.

 

The Corporation’s net interest margin, computed as interest income (tax-equivalent basis) annualized as a percentage of average interest earning assets, was 3.44 percent for the first quarter of 2020 compared to the 3.69 percent for the first quarter of 2019. The net interest margin contraction was a result of lower interest rates on interest bearing deposits with banks and lower interest rates on loans, partially offset by a higher volume and higher rates of interest on time deposits.

 

Total interest income for the first quarter of 2020 totaled $20,189,000, a decrease of $687,000 or 3 percent below the amount of total interest income for the first quarter of 2019. The change was primarily a result of lower rates of interest on interest bearing deposits with banks and commercial loans.

 

Interest and dividend income on investments increased $29,000 or 3 percent in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The average balance of the investment securities portfolio increased $8,045,000 or 5 percent when comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same period in 2019. The tax-equivalent yield on investments for the first quarter of 2020 was 2.63 percent or 12 basis points lower than the 2.75 percent experienced in the first quarter of 2019.

 

Interest income on loans decreased $746,000 or 4 percent in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The average balance of outstanding loans, primarily commercial loans, increased approximately $4,455,000 or less than 1 percent comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same period in 2019. Lower rates on the loan portfolio were the primary driver of the decrease in interest income on loans. The tax-equivalent yield on loans for the first quarter 2020 was 5.02 percent or 26 basis points less than the 5.28 percent experienced in the first quarter of 2019.

Total interest expense for the first quarter of 2020 was $4,822,000, a decrease of $523,000 or 10 percent as compared to total interest expense of $5,345,000 for the first quarter of 2019. The change was primarily the result of a decrease in the cost of interest bearing demand deposits.

 

Interest expense on deposits decreased $344,000 or 7 percent in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 1.29 percent in the first quarter of 2020 or 22 basis points lower than the average rate paid of 1.51 percent in the first quarter of 2019. The average balance of interest bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2020 increased by $90,462,000 or 7 percent compared to the first quarter of 2019. Also, the Corporation experienced favorable growth in noninterest-bearing deposits, with the average volume for the first quarter of 2020 increasing 9 percent to $267,366,000 as compared to $244,847,000 for the first quarter of 2019.

 

For the first quarter of 2020 interest expense on borrowings decreased $179,000 or 25 percent compared to the first quarter of 2019. Short-term borrowings consisting of repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings averaged $7,040,000 for the first quarter of 2020, compared to an average balance of $6,434,000 for the first quarter of 2019. The rate on average short-term borrowings for the first quarter of 2020 was 0.51 percent, a decrease as compared to a rate of 0.57 percent for the first quarter of 2019. Long-term debt, primarily from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLBP), averaged $84,669,000 for the first quarter of 2020 and $119,759,000 for the first quarter of 2019. For the first quarter of 2020, the rate on average long-term borrowings was 2.55 percent, an increase as compared to a rate of 2.42 percent for the first quarter of 2019.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The provision for loan losses is an expense charged to earnings to cover the estimated losses attributable to uncollected loans. The provision reflects management’s judgment of an appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses.  Provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2020 was $9,435,000, an $8,385,000 increase as compared to a provision of $1,050,000 for the first quarter of 2019. The increased provision expense in the first quarter of 2020 was attributed primarily to a partial charge off arising from a single, large commercial lending relationship. Total outstanding credit exposure to this borrower was approximately $8 million, which was reduced by the expected loss of $7.5 million recognized during the quarter after an evaluation of COVID-19’s negative impact to both the creditor’s net asset valuation and the timing of potential distributions. In addition, changes in the external environment created by COVID-19 caused management to increase the qualitative factors for certain loan segments in the allowance for loan loss analysis, which resulted in an additional $1.5 million in provision for loan losses in the quarter.  Both periods supported adequate allowance for loan loss coverage, however, changing economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may require future adjustments. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.55 percent at March 31, 2020, as compared to 1.40 percent at December 31, 2019 and 1.34 percent at March 31, 2019.

 

More information about the allowance for loan losses can be found in this report under the caption Allowance for Loan Losses on page 52.

Noninterest Income

 

The following table presents the components of total noninterest income for the first quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2019.

 

Table 3 - Noninterest income                      

 

   Three months ended  Change
   March 31,  Increase (Decrease)
(dollars in thousands)  2020  2019  $  %
                     
Trust and investment services fees  $994   $840   $154    18%
Income from mutual fund, annuity and insurance sales   261    235    26    11 
Service charges on deposit accounts   1,130    1,158    (28)   (2)

Gain (loss) on sales of securities   15    (4)   19    475 
    Total noninterest income  $3,423   $3,223   $200    6%

 

The discussion that follows addresses changes in selected categories of noninterest income.

 

Trust and investment services fees—The $154,000 or 18 percent increase in trust and investment services fees is due to growth of new business.

 

Income from bank owned life insurance—The $81,000 or 22 percent decrease in income from bank owned life insurance is due to the prior year $6.6 million purchase of bank owned life insurance which increased income for the first quarter 2019 with a one-time front loaded interest payment.

 

Gain on sales of loans held for saleThe $80,000 or 37 percent increase in gain on sales of loans was due to the sale of a larger volume of the mortgage loans to the secondary market during the first quarter 2020 compared to the first quarter 2019.

Noninterest Expense

Other   715    304    411    135 
    Total noninterest expense  $13,319   $12,561   $758    6%

 

The discussion that follows addresses changes in selected categories of noninterest expense.

 

Personnel—The $99,000 or 1 percent increase in personnel is primarily the result of a slightly higher number of full time equivalent employees.

 

Professional and legalThe $96,000 or 88 percent increase in professional and legal expense is attributed to an increase in consulting and legal fees.

 

FDIC insuranceThe $70,000 or 30 percent decrease in FDIC insurance expense is attributed to a lower assessment factor.

 

External data processingThe $148,000 or 27 percent increase in external data processing expense is attributed to increased reliance on outsourcing transaction processing to specialized vendors as well as expansion in the electronic banking services offered to our client base and charges for higher transaction volume from normal business growth.

 

OtherThe $411,000 or 135 percent increase in other expense is primarily attributed to higher impaired loan carrying costs.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2020 was $ (975,000), a decrease of $2,027,000 or 193 percent as compared to the first quarter of 2019. The decrease was attributed to the pre-tax net loss for the first quarter of 2020 compared to the pre-tax net income for the first quarter of 2019. The effective tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 24.6 percent and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 20.5 percent. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of certain elements with specific tax benefits, including tax-exempt income, such as income from tax-exempt investments, tax-exempt loans, and bank-owned life insurance.

Balance Sheet Review

 

Interest Bearing Deposits with Banks

 

On March 31, 2020, interest bearing deposits with banks totaled $169,689,000, an increase of $58,947,000 or 53 percent, compared to the level at year-end 2019. The increase is primarily the result of the growth in client deposits and a decrease in loans, offset by a decrease in long-term debt.

 

Investment Securities (Available-for-Sale)

 

The Corporation’s entire investment securities portfolio is classified available-for-sale, and is comprised primarily of interest-earning debt securities. The overall composition of the Corporation’s investment securities portfolio is provided in Note 2—Securities. On March 31, 2020, the fair value of investment securities available-for-sale totaled $171,738,000, which represented an increase of $12,063,000 as compared to the fair value of investment securities at year-end 2019. New investments during the first three months of 2020 exceeded principal reductions from investment maturities, mortgage-backed security payments, and sales.

 

Loans

 

On March 31, 2020, total loans, net of deferred fees, were $1.48 billion, which was $28,474,000 or 2 percent lower than the level at year-end 2019. This change in volume was due primarily to a decrease in commercial loans, particularly within the builder and developer and wholesale & retail sectors, partially offset by increases in commercial real estate investor and residential real estate investor sectors. Commercial loans within the builder and developer, commercial real estate investor and residential real estate investor sectors each represented more than 10 percent of the total portfolio. The composition of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is provided in Note 4—Loans.

 

Deposits

 

Deposits are the Corporation’s principal source of funding for earning assets. On March 31, 2020, deposits totaled $1.64 billion, which reflected a $48,783,000 or 3 percent increase compared to the level at year-end 2019. Of the increase in total deposits, $414,000 is attributable to noninterest bearing deposits and $48,369,000 related to growth in interest bearing deposits. The composition of the Corporation’s total deposit portfolio is provided in Note 6—Deposits.

 

Short-term Borrowings

 

Short-term borrowings, which consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), federal funds purchased, and other short-term borrowings, totaled $6,196,000 at March 31, 2020, which reflected a $1,729,000 or 22 percent decrease compared to the level at year-end 2019.

 

Long-term Debt

 

The Corporation uses long-term borrowings as a secondary funding source for asset growth and to manage interest rate risk. On March 31, 2020, long-term debt totaled $71,627,000 compared to $81,632,000 at year-end 2019. The $10,005,000 decrease is primarily the result of $10,000,000 in FHLBP borrowings that were repaid at maturity during the first quarter. A listing of outstanding long-term debt obligations is provided in Note 7—Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt. The composition of the Corporation’s leases is provided in Note 8—Leases.

Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Adequacy

 

Shareholders’ equity, or capital, enables Codorus Valley to maintain asset growth and absorb losses. Capital adequacy can be affected by a multitude of factors, including profitability, new stock issuances, corporate expansion and acquisitions, dividend policy and distributions, and regulatory mandates. The Corporation’s total shareholders’ equity was approximately $189,596,000 on March 31, 2020, a decrease of approximately $1,572,000 or 1 percent, compared to the level at year-end 2019.

 

Cash Dividends on Stock

 

The Corporation has historically paid cash dividends on its stock on a quarterly basis. The Board of Directors determines the dividend rate after considering the Corporation's capital requirements, current and projected net income, and other relevant factors. As recently announced, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share on April 14, 2020, payable on May 12, 2020, to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 28, 2020. This cash dividend follows the $0.16 cash dividend distributed in February 2020.

 

Capital Adequacy

 

The Corporation and PeoplesBank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators that involve quantitative guidelines and qualitative judgments. The regulatory capital measures for the Corporation and PeoplesBank as of March 31, 2020 and the minimum capital ratios established by regulators are set forth in Note 8—Regulatory Matters to the financial statements. We believe that both Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank were well capitalized on March 31, 2020 and had no regulatory dividend restrictions (see Note 9—Regulatory Matters to the financial statements).

Risk Management

 

Credit Risk Management

 

Credit risk represents the possibility that a loan client, counterparty or issuer may not perform in accordance with contractual terms, posing one of the most significant risks of loss to the Corporation. Accordingly, the Corporation emphasizes the management of credit risk, and has established a lending policy which management believes is sound given the nature and scope of our operations. The Credit Risk Management section included in Item 7 of the Corporation’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, provides a more detailed overview of the Corporation’s credit risk management process.

 

Nonperforming Assets

 

Nonperforming assets, as shown in the table below, are asset categories that pose the greatest risk of loss. The level of nonperforming assets at March 31, 2020 has increased by approximately $3,290,000 or 13 percent when compared to year-end 2019. The increase was primarily the result of a net increase in nonaccrual loans.

 

The Corporation regularly monitors large and criticized assets in its commercial loan portfolio recognizing that prolonged low economic growth, or a weakening economy, could have negative effects on these commercial borrowers. Nonperforming assets are monitored and managed for collection of these accounts. Collection efforts, including modification of contractual terms for individual accounts based on prevailing market conditions and liquidation of collateral assets, are employed to maximize recovery. A special assets committee meets regularly, at a minimum quarterly, to review nonperforming assets. We generally rely on appraisals performed by independent licensed appraisers to determine the value of real estate collateral for impaired collateral-dependent loans. Generally, an appraisal is performed when: an account reaches 90 days past due, unless a certified appraisal was completed within the past twelve months; market values have changed significantly; the condition of the property has changed significantly; or the existing appraisal is outdated based upon regulatory or policy requirements. In instances where the value of the collateral, net of costs to sell, is less than the net carrying amount for impaired commercial related loans, a specific loss allowance is established for the difference. Further provisions for loan losses may be required for nonaccrual loans as additional information becomes available or conditions change. When it is probable that some portion or an entire loan balance will not be collected, that amount is charged off as loss against the allowance.

Nonperforming loans

 

Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans and accruing loans 90 days or more past due. We generally place a loan on nonaccrual status and cease accruing interest income (i.e., recognize interest income on a cash basis, as long as the loan is sufficiently collateralized) when loan payment performance is unsatisfactory and the loan is past due 90 days or more. A loan is returned to interest accruing status when we determine that circumstances have improved to the extent that all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are current for at least six consecutive payments and future payments are reasonably assured. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest represent loans that are contractually past due, but are well collateralized and in the process of collection. As of March 31, 2020, the nonperforming loan portfolio balance totaled $28,199,000, compared to $25,030,000 at year-end 2019. During the first three months of 2020, loans totaling $11,237,000 were transferred to nonaccrual status, offset by the transfer of loans out of nonaccrual status and payments to loans in nonaccrual status totaling approximately $932,000 and charge offs totaling $7,686,000. There was a $550,000 increase in 90 day past due loans, resulting in the net increase of $3,169,000. For both periods, the nonperforming portfolio balance was comprised primarily of collateralized commercial loans.

 

Foreclosed Real Estate

 

Foreclosed real estate represents real estate acquired to satisfy debts owed to PeoplesBank and is included in the Other Assets category on the Corporation’s balance sheet. The carrying amount of foreclosed real estate as of March 31, 2020, net of allowance, totaled $918,000 compared to $797,000 at year-end 2019. The $121,000 increase was the result of the addition of one property totaling $121,000.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

Troubled debt restructurings pertain to loans whose terms have been modified to include a concession that we would not ordinarily consider due to the debtor’s financial difficulties. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring typically involve a reduction of interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, the deferral of payments or extension of the stated maturity date. Troubled debt restructurings are evaluated for impairment if they have been restructured during the most recent calendar year, or if they cease to perform in accordance with the modified terms. As of March 31, 2020, the accruing troubled debt restructuring portfolio balance totaled $1,546,000, compared to $1,596,000 at year-end 2019. The $50,000 decrease was the result of principal repayments of $50,000.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Although the Corporation believes that it maintains sound credit policies, certain loans deteriorate and must be charged off as losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. The allowance is based upon management’s continuous evaluation of the loan portfolio coupled with a formal review of adequacy on a quarterly basis, which is subject to review and approval by the Board.

 

The allowance for loan losses consists primarily of three components: specific allowances for individually impaired commercial loans; allowances calculated for pools of loans; and an unallocated component, which reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the assumptions that underlie the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The Corporation uses an internal risk rating system to evaluate individual loans. Loans are segmented into industry groups or pools with similar characteristics, and an allowance for loan losses is allocated to each segment based on quantitative factors such as recent loss history (two-year rolling average of net charge-offs) and qualitative factors, such as the results of internal and external credit reviews, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, adequacy of collateral, and general economic conditions. Determining the level of the allowance for probable loan losses at any given period is subjective, particularly during deteriorating or uncertain economic periods, and requires that we make estimates using assumptions. There is also the potential for adjustment to the allowance as a result of regulatory examinations.

The following table presents an analysis of the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

Table 6 - Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses            

 

(dollars in thousands)    2020    2019  
Balance-January 1,  $21,066   $19,144 
           
Provision charged to operating expense   9,435    1,050 
           
Loans charged off:          
Commercial, financial and agricultural   7,585    46 
Real estate - construction and land development   97    0 
Consumer and home equity   4    80 
Total loans charged off   7,686    126 
Recoveries:          
Commercial, financial and agricultural   10    3 
Consumer and home equity   13    10 
Total recoveries   23    13 
Net charge-offs   7,663    113 
Balance-March 31,  $22,838   $20,081 
           
Ratios:          
Annualized net charge-offs as a % of average total loans   2.04%   0.03%
Allowance for loan losses as a % of total period-end loans   1.55%   1.34%
Allowance for loan losses as a % of nonperforming loans   80.99%   73.36%

 

The provision for loan losses increased $8,385,000 from March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020. The increased provision expense in the first quarter of 2020 was attributed primarily to a partial charge off arising from a single, large commercial lending relationship. Total outstanding credit exposure to this borrower was approximately $8 million, which was reduced by the expected loss of $7.5 million recognized during the quarter after an evaluation of COVID-19’s negative impact to both the creditor’s net asset valuation and the timing of potential distributions. In addition, changes in the external environment created by COVID-19 caused management to increase the qualitative factors for certain loan segments in the allowance for loan loss analysis, which resulted in an additional $1.5 million in provision for loan losses in the quarter. Both periods supported adequate allowance for loan loss coverage, however, changing economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may require future adjustments.

 

Net charge-offs for the first three months of 2020 were $7,663,000 compared to $113,000 for the same period in 2019. During the first three months of 2020, there were $7,686,000 of charge-offs as compared to $126,000 during the same period in 2019. The risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, weak economic and business conditions, or the erosion of real estate values may adversely affect our borrowers’ ability to service their loans, causing significant fluctuations in the level of charge-offs and provision expense from one period to another. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.55 percent at March 31, 2020, as compared to 1.40 percent at December 31, 2019 and 1.34 percent at March 31, 2019. There was no unallocated portion of the allowance as of March 31, 2020, as compared to $297,000 or 1 percent of the total allowance as of March 31, 2019.

Liquidity Risk Management

 

Maintaining adequate liquidity provides the Corporation with the ability to meet financial obligations to depositors, loan clients, employees, and shareholders on a timely and cost effective basis in the normal course of business. Additionally, adequate liquidity provides funds for growth and business opportunities as they arise. Liquidity is generated from transactions relating to both the Corporation's assets and liabilities. The primary sources of asset liquidity are funds received from client loan payments, investment maturities and cash inflows from mortgage-backed securities, and the net proceeds of asset sales. The primary sources of liability liquidity are deposit growth, and funds obtained from short-term borrowings and long-term debt. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, included in this report, present the changes in cash from operating, investing and financing activities. At March 31, 2020, we believe that liquidity was adequate based upon the potential liquidation of unpledged available-for-sale securities with a fair value totaling approximately $45,577,000 and available credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh totaling approximately $460,023,000. The Corporation’s loan-to-deposit ratio was approximately 90 percent as of March 31, 2020, 95 percent as of December 31, 2019 and 98 percent as of March 31, 2019.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect various commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These commitments consist primarily of commitments to grant new loans, unfunded commitments under existing loan facilities, and letters of credit issued under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Unused commitments on March 31, 2020, totaled $561,983,000 and consisted of $450,181,000 in unfunded commitments under existing loan facilities, $91,743,000 to grant new loans and $20,059,000 in letters of credit. Generally these commitments have fixed expiration dates or termination clauses and are for specific purposes. Accordingly, many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, generally do not present significant liquidity risk to the Corporation or PeoplesBank.

 

Recent Legislative Developments

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since that time banking regulators, the SEC and FASB have all issued additional guidance and clarification on various sections of the CARES Act. Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides the option to not apply ASC 310-40 (TDRs) to a loan modification, related specifically to COVID-19 hardships, including the flexibility to not classify the loan as impaired for accounting purposes. Regulators have encouraged financial institutions to work constructively with borrowers in communities and industries affected by COVID-19 using prudent and proactive actions which are in the best interests of the financial institution, the borrower and the economy. The Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a number of options for loan modifications, including interest deferral, full payment deferral, additional extensions of credit, and SBA loan programs (i.e., Economic Injury Disaster Loans, Paycheck Protection Program). As of April 20, 2020, the Corporation has processed requests for loan modifications totaling approximately $36 million. The Corporation has been an active participant in the SBA Paycheck Protection Program. As of April 15th when the first round of the Program ended, PeoplesBank had processed 670 applications for approximately $133 million with about $4.2 million in fee income expected for the Corporation.

 

At its October 16, 2019 meeting, the FASB approved a deferral of the effective date for several of its recent standards. The proposal creates two new “buckets”: (1) SEC filers other than smaller reporting companies (SRCs, as defined by the SEC) and (2) all other entities. For the Corporation, this would apply to ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”), which has not yet been adopted by the Corporation. The effective date of the CECL standard would be for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Corporation plans to delay CECL implementation, but to continue moving forward with the project.

On May 24, 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Regulatory Relief Act”), amended certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as certain other statutes administered by the federal banking agencies Some of the key provisions of the Regulatory Relief Act as it relates to community banks and bank holding companies include: (i) designating mortgages held in portfolio as “qualified mortgages” for banks with less than $10 billion in assets, subject to certain documentation and product limitations; (ii) exempting banks with less than $10 billion in assets (and total trading assets and trading liabilities of 5% or less of total assets) from Volcker Rule requirements relating to proprietary trading; (iii) simplifying capital calculations for banks with less than $10 billion in assets by requiring federal banking agencies to establish a community bank leverage ratio of tangible equity to average consolidated assets of not less than 8% or more than 10%, and provide that banks that maintain tangible equity in excess of such ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with risk-based capital and leverage requirements; (iv) assisting smaller banks with obtaining stable funding by providing an exception for reciprocal deposits from FDIC restrictions on acceptance of brokered deposits; (v) raising the eligibility for use of short-form Call Reports from $1 billion to $5 billion in assets; (vi) clarifying definitions pertaining to high volatility commercial real estate loans (HVCRE), which requires higher capital allocations, so that only loans with increased risk are subject to higher risk weightings; and (vii) changing the eligibility for use of the small bank holding company policy statement from institutions with under $1 billion in assets to institutions with under $3 billion in assets.

 

Section 201 of the Regulatory Relief Act directed the federal banking agencies to develop a community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”) of not less than 8% and not more than 10% for qualifying community banks and bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion. Qualifying community banking organizations that exceed the CBLR level established by the agencies, and that elect to be covered by the CBLR framework, will be considered to have met: (i) the generally applicable leverage and risk-based capital requirements under the banking agencies’ capital rules; (ii) the capital ratio requirements necessary to be considered “well capitalized” under the banking agencies’ prompt corrective action framework in the case of insured depository institutions; and (iii) any other applicable capital or leverage requirements.

 

On September 17, 2019, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, and the FDIC adopted a rule to implement the provisions of Section 201 of the Regulatory Relief Act. Under the rule, a qualifying community banking organization would be defined as a deposit institution or depository institution holding company with less than $10 billion in assets and specified limited amounts of off-balance sheet exposures, trading assets and liabilities, mortgage servicing assets, and certain temporary difference deferred tax assets. A qualifying community banking organization would be permitted to elect the CBLR framework if its CBLR is greater than 9%. The rule also addresses opting in and opting out of the CBLR framework by a community banking organization, the treatment of a community banking organization that falls below the CBLR requirements, and the effect of various CBLR levels for purposes of the prompt corrective action categories applicable to insured depository institutions. Advanced approaches banking organizations (generally, institutions with $250 billion or more in consolidated assets) are not eligible to use the CBLR framework.

 

The Corporation continues to analyze the changes implemented by the Regulatory Relief Act, including the CBLR framework included in the recently proposed rulemaking. The Corporation does not believe, however, that such changes will materially impact the Corporation’s business, operations, or financial results.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The most significant market risk to which the Corporation is exposed is interest rate risk. The primary business of the Corporation and the composition of its balance sheet consist of investments in interest earning assets (primarily loans and securities), which are funded by interest bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings), all of which have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates. Changes in

 

- 54 -

 

 

rates also have an impact on the Corporation’s liquidity position and could affect its ability to meet obligations and continue to grow.

 

The Corporation employs various management techniques to minimize its exposure to interest rate risk. An Asset Liability Management Committee, consisting of key financial and senior management personnel, meets on a regular basis. The Committee is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity and liquidity positions of the Corporation, reviewing projected sources and uses of funds, approving asset and liability management policies, monitoring economic conditions, and overseeing the formulation and implementation of strategies regarding balance sheet positions.

 

Simulation of net interest income is performed for the next twelve-month period. A variety of interest rate scenarios are used to measure the effects of sudden and gradual movements upward and downward in the yield curve. These results are compared to the results obtained in a flat or unchanged interest rate scenario. Simulation of net interest income is used primarily to measure the Corporation’s short-term earnings exposure to rate movements. A "shock" is an immediate upward or downward movement of interest rates. The shocks do not take into account changes in client behavior that could result in changes to mix and/or volumes in the balance sheet, nor do they account for competitive pricing over the forward 12-month period. The Corporation applies these interest rate “shocks” to its financial instruments up and down 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points. A 300 and 400 basis point decrease in interest rates cannot be simulated at this time due to the historically low interest rate environment.

 

The following table summarizes the expected impact of interest rate shocks on net interest income as well as the Corporation’s policy limits at each level. All scenarios with the exception of a decrease of 100 basis points were within policy limits at March 31, 2020. The -100 scenario is expected to return within policy limits during 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon the evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

There has been no change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Part II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings  

The Corporation and PeoplesBank are involved in routine litigation incidental to their business. In the opinion of management, there are no legal proceedings pending against the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries which are expected to have a material impact upon the consolidated financial position and/or operating results of the Corporation. Management is not aware of any adverse proceedings known or contemplated by government authorities.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors 

Except for the risk factor described immediately below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A – Risk Factors – in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Coronavirus Outbreak – In December 2019, a coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in China, and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. Since first being reported in China, the coronavirus has spread to additional countries including the United States.

 

In response, many state and local governments, including the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of Maryland, have instituted emergency restrictions that have substantially limited the operation of non-essential businesses and the activities of individuals. It has been widely reported that these restrictions have resulted in significant adverse effects for many different types of businesses, particularly those in the travel, hospitality and food and beverage industries, among many others, and has resulted in a significant number of layoffs and furloughs of employees nationwide and in the regions in which the Corporation operates. The ultimate effect of COVID-19 on the local or broader economy is not known nor is the ultimate length of the restrictions described and any accompanying effects. Moreover, the Federal Reserve has taken action to lower the Federal Funds rate, which may negatively affect interest income and, therefore, earnings. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, and there is no guarantee that the Corporation's efforts to address the adverse impacts of the coronavirus will be effective. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and actions taken to contain the coronavirus or its impact, among others.

 

The effect of COVID-19 and related events, including those described above and those not yet known or knowable, could have a negative effect on the Corporation's business prospects, financial condition and

results of operations, as a result of quarantines; market volatility; market downturns; changes in consumer behavior; business closures; deterioration in the credit quality of borrowers or the inability of borrowers to satisfy their obligations (and any related forbearances or restructurings that may be implemented); changes in the value of collateral securing outstanding loans; changes in the value of the investment securities portfolio; effects on key employees, including operational management personnel and those charged with preparing, monitoring and evaluating the Corporation's financial reporting and internal controls; declines in the demand for loans and other banking services and products; declines in demand resulting from adverse impacts of the disease on businesses deemed to be "non-essential" by governments; and branch or office closures and business interruptions.
