* Based on the closing price of FRAF as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market

** Based on annualized 4th quarter dividend and year-end market value.

GAAP versus non-GAAP Presentations- The Corporation supplements its traditional GAAP measurements with certain non-GAAP measurements to evaluate its performance and to eliminate the effect of intangible assets. By eliminating intangible assets, the Corporation believes it presents a measurement that is comparable to companies that have no intangible assets or to companies that have eliminated intangible assets in similar calculations. However, not all companies may use the same calculation method for each measurement. The Efficiency Ratio measures the cost to generate one dollar of revenue. The non-GAAP measurements are not intended to be used as a substitute for the related GAAP measurements and should not be read in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for GAAP measures. The following table shows the calculation of the non-GAAP measurements.

Management's Overview

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist the reader in reviewing the financial information presented and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other financial data presented elsewhere herein.

Summary

Franklin Financial Services Corporation reported consolidated earnings of $21.2 million ($4.74 per diluted share) for 2025 compared with $11.1 million ($2.51 per diluted share) for the same period in 2024.

ï‚·Net income for 2025 was $21.2 million ($4.74 per diluted share) compared to $11.1 million ($2.51 per diluted share) for 2024, an increase of 91.2%. Year-to-date income for 2024 was negatively affected by a $3.4 million after tax loss on the sale of investment securities sold as part of portfolio restructuring.

ï‚·The provision for credit losses on loans was $3.0 million for the year compared to $2.0 million for 2024. The increase was driven primarily by a specific reserve of $894 thousand established in the third quarter of 2025 for a $7.1 million commercial loan. The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was a reversal of $131 thousand for 2025 and an expense of $8 thousand in 2024.

ï‚·Noninterest income for 2025 was $19.2 million, an increase of 40.2% from $13.7 million in 2024. Noninterest income for 2024 includes a $4.3 million pre-tax securities loss. Excluding the loss from the sale of investment securities in 2024,noninterest income in 2025 would have increased $1.2 million (6.9%) over 2024. Year-over-year, wealth management fees increased $631 thousand, gains on the sale of mortgages increased $107 thousand, and a sales tax refund of $326 thousand was received in 2025.

ï‚·Noninterest expense was $59.7 million for 2025 compared to $55.9 million in 2024, an increase of $3.8 million or 6.7%. The largest factor contributing to the year-over-year change was an increase of $2.6 million in salaries and benefits (primarily salaries and health insurance). Legal and professional fees, advertising, data processing and FDIC insurance premiums were also higher in 2025 compared to 2024.

ï‚·The effective income tax rate was 19.2% for 2025 and 16.6% in 2024.

Total assets at December 31, 2025 were $2.239 billion compared to $2.198 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of 1.9%. Significant balance sheet changes since December 31, 2024, include: 

ï‚·Debt securities available for sale decreased $54.0 million (10.6%) in 2025 from 2024 due primarily to paydowns. On December 31, 2025, the net unrealized loss in the portfolio was $26.8 million compared to a net unrealized loss of $45.4 million at year-end 2024.

ï‚·Net loans increased $160.2 million (11.6%) at year-end 2025 over the year-end 2024 balance, primarily from increases in commercial real estate loans of $100.2 million, and 1- 4 family residential real estate of $45.6 million. On December 31, 2025, commercial real estate loans totaled $903.6 million (57.9% of total gross loans), with the largest collateral segments being: apartment buildings ($181.7 million), hotels and motels ($102.2 million), land development ($97.0 million), office buildings ($92.8 million) and shopping centers ($87.9 million) which are located primarily in south-central Pennsylvania.


‎

ï‚·Total deposits increased $20.1 million (1.1%) to $1.836 billion from year-end 2024. The year over year growth was reduced primarily due to the Bank paying off $65.0 million of brokered time deposits in the fourth quarter of 2025. Noninterest-bearing deposits (16.9% of total deposits) grew 6.9% from year-end 2024, and interest-bearing checking and savings accounts increased 7.6% over the same period. Non-brokered time deposits declined 11.6% year-over year. The Bank's cost of deposits for 2025 averaged 1.85% compared to 1.89% for the same period in 2024. On December 31, 2025, the Bank estimated that 87% of its deposits were FDIC insured or collateralized.

ï‚·On December 31, 2025, the Bank had borrowings of $200.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB). The Bank has additional funding capacity with the Federal Reserve, FHLB and correspondent banks.

ï‚·Shareholders' equity increased $30.5 million (21.1%) from December 31, 2024. Retained earnings increased $15.4 million, net of dividends of $5.8 million paid to shareholders during 2025. The accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCI) decreased from $35.5 million at year-end 2024 to $21.6 million from a decrease in the unrealized loss in the investment portfolio. On December 31, 2025, the book value of the Corporation's common stock was $39.11 per share and tangible book value (1)was $37.10 per share. In January 2025, an open market repurchase plan was approved to repurchase 150,000 shares of common stock over a one-year period and 19,300 sharesof common stock were repurchased in 2025 under the approved plan to fund the quarterly dividend reinvestment plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In December 2025, a new repurchase plan to repurchase 150,000 shares through December 31, 2026, was approved. The Bank is considered to be "well-capitalized" under regulatory guidelines as of December 31, 2025.

ï‚·Average 2025 earning assets were $2.172 billion compared to $1.983 billion in 2024, an increase of $189.8 million (9.6%). The increase occurred primarily in the commercial real estate portfolio ($118.2 million) and the residential 1-4 family real estate portfolio ($51.9 million). The yield on earning assets increased from 5.16% in 2024 to 5.31% in 2025. For the fourth quarter of 2025, the yield on earning assets was 5.29%. Total deposits averaged $1.872 billion, an increase of 14.3% over the 2024 average of $1.638 billion. The cost of total deposits for 2025 was 1.85% compared to 1.89% for 2024.

ï‚·Nonaccrual loans totaled $8.5 million on December 31, 2025, and have increased from $266 thousand on December 31, 2024, but have decreased from $10.7 million on September 30, 2025. Nonaccrual loans were 0.55% of total gross loans on December 31, 2025, compared to 0.02% on December 31, 2024. The nonaccrual loans are comprised primarily of commercial real estate (CRE) loans totaling $8.1 million among four different loans to unrelated borrowers. The largest nonaccrual CRE loan is for a $7.1 million construction loan on a mixed-use commercial project. The construction loan is current on payments as of December 31, 2025, however, a specific reserve of $892 thousand has been established for this loan. The allowance for credit loss to loans ratio was 1.32% onDecember 31, 2025, up from 1.26% on December 31, 2024, primarily due to the addition of the specific reserve, previously mentioned. Theallowance forcredit losses (ACL) for unfunded commitments was $1.9 million and $2.0 million on December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Other key performance measurements are presented elsewhere in Item 7 of this report.

A more detailed discussion of the areas that had the greatest effect on the reported results follows.

Net Interest Income

The most important source of the Corporation's earnings is net interest income, which is defined as the difference between income on interest-earning assets and the expense of interest-bearing liabilities supporting those assets. Principal categories of interest-earning assets are loans and securities, while deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt are the principal categories of interest-bearing liabilities. For the purpose of this discussion, balance sheet items refer to the average balance for the year and net interest income is adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent basis. This tax-equivalent adjustment facilitates performance comparisons between taxable and tax-free assets by increasing the tax-free income by an amount equivalent to the Federal income taxes that would have been paid if this income were taxable at the Corporation's 21% Federal statutory rate. The components of net interest income are detailed in Tables 1, 2 and 3.


‎

Table 1 shows the change in tax-equivalent net interest income year over year. Changes in interest income and expense are driven by changes in balance (volume) and changes in the average rate on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The changes attributable to rate or volume are shown in Table 2. The yield on earning assets (Table 3) increased to 5.31% for 2025 from 5.16% for 2024. The benefit provided by tax-exempt income was $904 thousand in 2025.

Table 2 identifies increases and decreases in tax equivalent net interest income due to either changes in average volume or to changes in average rates for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Numerous and simultaneous balance and rate changes occur during the year. The amount of change that is not due solely to volume or rate is allocated proportionally to both.

Provision for Credit Losses

In 2025, the Bank recorded gross loan charge-offs of $167 thousand, which were partially offset by $139 thousand of recoveries, resulting in net loan charge-offs of $28 thousand. For 2025, the Corporation recorded $3.0 million as a provision for credit loss on loans. These changes resulted in an increase in the allowance for credit losses (ACL) on loans to $20.7 million at year-end 2025 (1.32% of total loans), compared to $17.7 million at year-end 2024 (1.26% of total loans). The provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments was a reversal of $131 thousand for 2025 with a reserve balance of $1.9 million at year-end 2025, a decrease from $2.0 million at year-end 2024. Management closely monitors the credit quality of the portfolio in order to ensure that an appropriate ACL is maintained. As part of this process, Management performs a comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio considering delinquencies trends and events, current economic forecasts and conditions, and other relevant factors to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and the provision for credit losses. For more information, refer to the Loan Quality discussion and Table 10.

The most significant changes in noninterest income are discussed below:

Wealth management fees:These fees are comprised of asset management fees, estate administration and settlement fees, employee benefit plans, and commissions from the sale of insurance and investment products. Asset management fees are recurring in nature and are affected by the fair value of assets under management at the time the fees are recognized. Asset management fees totaled $8.4 million for 2025 and $7.8 million for 2024. The fair value of assets under management was $1.421 billion at year-end, compared to $1.169 billion at the end of 2024. Estate fees were $458 thousand in 2025 compared to $508 thousand in 2024. By the nature of an estate settlement, these fees are considered nonrecurring. Commissions from the sale of insurance and investment products increased by $21 thousand compared to the prior year.

Loan service charges:This category includes primarily commercial letter of credit fees, commercial loan prepayment penalties, mortgage servicing fees and consumer debt protection fees.

Gain on sale of loans: This category is comprised of fees from the sale of residential mortgages with servicing released in the secondary market. Due to higher origination volume, the Bank sold more loans in 2025 compared to the prior year.

Deposit fees:This category is comprised primarily of fees from overdrafts, an overdraft protection program, service charges, and account analysis fees. The increase of $87 thousand in this category was due to an increase of account analysis fees partially offset by a decrease in overdraft protection program fees.

Other service charges and fees:The most significant items in this category include fees from the Bank's merchant card program and ATM fees. Merchants card program fees increased $39 thousand while ATM fees decreased $86 thousand compared to the prior year.

Debit card income:Debit card fees are comprised of both a retail and business card program. Retail fees increased by $54 thousand, while business card fees increased $37 thousand compared to the prior year. The business debit card offers a cash back rewards program based on usage, while the retail debit card offers reward points based on usage. Debit card income is reported net of reward program expenses.

Net (losses) gains on sales of debt securities: For 2025, there were no sales of debt securities. The Bank took losses of $4.3 million on the sale of investment securities as part of a portfolio restructuring during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Other:This category increased in 2025 due to swap referral fees of $406 thousand and state sales tax refunds of $326 thousand.

The most significant changes in noninterest expense are discussed below:

Salaries:This category is the largest noninterest expense category and increased by $1.3 million compared to the prior year from salary and commission increases due to merit and annual increases, and new positions.

Employee benefits:This category includes expenses for health benefits, insurance, pension service, employment taxes and other employee benefit programs. This category increased by $1.3 million compared to the prior year from health insurance increased $1.0 million, 401K match increased $149 thousand and stock compensation increased $147 thousand. See Note 17 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information on benefit plans.

Net Occupancy:This category includes all of the expense associated with the properties and facilities used for bank operations such as depreciation, leases, maintenance, utilities and real estate taxes. The increase in 2025 was due primarily to overall higher operating expenses.

Legal and professional fees:This category consists of fees paid to outside legal counsel, consultants, and audit fees, which increased due to the Corporation moving to accelerated filer status with the SEC at the end of 2025.

Data processing:The largest cost in this category is the expense associated with the Bank's core processing system and related services and accounted for $2.4 million of the total data processing costs in 2025 and $2.2 million in 2024. The increase in total data processing expenses for 2025 was due primarily to increases in the core processing system.

Nonservice pension: The change in the nonservice pension expense was due to a lower expected return on plan assets and higher interest costs. See Note 17 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information on benefit plans.

Other:The decrease in 2025 was due to lower amortization of solar tax credits compared to 2024.

Provision for Income Taxes

In 2025, the Corporation recorded income tax expense of $5.0 million compared to $2.2 million in 2024. The effective tax rate was 19.2% for 2025 and 16.6% for 2024. TheCorporation's 2025 and 2024 effective tax rates were lower than its statutory rate due to the effect of tax-exempt income from certain investment securities, loans, and bank owned life insurance. For a more comprehensive analysis of income tax expense, refer to Note 14 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

.

Financial Condition

One method of evaluating the Corporation's condition is in terms of its sources and uses of funds. Assets represent uses of funds while liabilities represent sources of funds. At December 31, 2025, total assets increased 1.9% over the prior year to $2.239 billion from $2.198 billion at the end of 2024.

Interest Earning Deposits in Other Banks:

Short-term interest-earning deposits, held primarily at the Federal Reserve, decreased to $105.3 million at December 31, 2025 from $183.8 million at December 31, 2024, as these funds were used to support loan growth which exceeded deposit growth and cash flow from debt securities. Long-term interest-earning deposits decreased from $1.5 million at December 31, 2024 to $999 thousand at December 31, 2025. The average balance of interest-earning deposits increased to $176.1 million in 2025 compared to $176.0 million in 2024.

Investment Securities:

Available for Sale (AFS) Securities

The investment portfolio serves as a mechanism to invest funds if funding sources out pace lending activity, to provide liquidity for lending and operations, and provide collateral for deposits and borrowings. The mix of securities and investing decisions are made as a component of balance sheet management. The AFS portfolio holdings are classified by type of security issuer. Agency mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities are issued by a U.S. Government Agency or a government sponsored entity and securitized by pools are residential and commercial mortgages. Municipal securities are issued by state and local government entities and consist of taxable and tax-exempt securities. Many municipal securities have credit enhancements in the form of private bond insurance or other credit support. Corporate securities are mostly subordinated notes issued by community banks with the remainder consisting of trust preferred securities. Non-Agency mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities are issued by private entities and securitized by residential and commercial mortgages. Many of these securities benefit from credit enhancements in the form of subordinated tranches and overcollateralization. Asset-backed securities are issued by or insured by a U.S. Government Agency and securitized by loan pools other than mortgages. The weighted average life of the portfolio is 5.4 years, the effective duration (which measures the change in fair value for a 1% change in interest rates) is 4.8%, and $353.5 million (fair value) is pledged as collateral for public deposits, trust deposits, FHLB borrowing commitments and Federal Reserve Bank discount window availability. The Bank has no investments in a single issuer that exceeds 10% of shareholders equity, except for U.S. Treasuries. All securities are classified as available for sale and all investment balances refer to fair value, unless noted otherwise. The following table presents the amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities by type at December 31 for the past two years:

Table 3, previously presented, shows the two-year trend of average balances and yields on the investment portfolio. The tax-equivalent yield on the portfolio increased from 3.75% in 2024 to 3.93% in 2025. Municipal bonds and Agency mortgage-backed securities comprise the largest sectors by fair value of the portfolio, approximately 30% and 29% respectively. The Bank expects that the portfolio will continue to remain concentrated in these investment sectors. The portfolio returned $72.5 million of principal cash flow in 2025 while no funds were invested into the portfolio during the year.

Municipal Bonds: This sector holds $137.8 million or 30% of the total portfolio and the amortized cost decreased by $2.2 million year over year. The Bank's municipal bond portfolio is well diversified geographically and is comprised of both tax-exempt (37% of the portfolio) and taxable (63% of the portfolio) municipal bonds. Seventy percent (70%) of the portfolio are general obligation bonds and thirty percent (30%) are revenue bonds. The portfolio holds bonds from 150 issuers within 32 states. The largest dollar exposures are in the states of Texas (15%), Pennsylvania (13%) and California (12%). When purchasing municipal bonds, the Bank looks primarily to the underlying credit of the issuer as a sign of credit quality and then to any credit enhancement. The entire portfolio is rated "A" or higher by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

Corporate Bonds: This sector is comprised primarily of $11.2 million of subordinate debt purchased from 31 different community bank issuers. The purchased subordinate notes, except two having 15-year maturities, were issued on 10-year maturities with initial 5-year fixed interest rates, after which the notes were callable by the issuers and converted to variable interest rates. At December 31, 2025, $5.2 million of the outstanding subordinate notes were callable and accruing interest at variable interest rates, while the remaining $6.0 million of outstanding subordinate notes were within their initial 5-year fixed interest rate periods and were not callable.

Agency Mortgage-backed and Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Securities: This sector holds $129.9 million, or 29%, of the total portfolio with $100.0 million securitized by residential mortgages and $29.9 million securitized by commercial mortgages.

Non-Agency Mortgage-backed and Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Securities: This sector holds $111.7 million, or 25%, of the total portfolio with $103.5 million AAA rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization and $8.2 million unrated.

Asset-backed Securities: This sector holds $27.3 million, or 6%, of the total portfolio. The majority of these securities are student loan pools under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) which are guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

Allowance for Credit Losses: For securities with an unrealized loss, the Bank considers: (1) the extent to which the fair value is less than amortized cost; (2) adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry or geographic area; (3) the payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments that increase in the future; (4) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments; and (5) any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency. In addition, the Bank considers whether it intends to sell these securities or whether it will be forced to sell these securities before the earlier of amortized cost recovery or maturity. The Bank does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost. The debt securities in a loss position and subject to evaluation at December 31, 2025 and 2024, were determined not to be attributable to credit related factors; therefore, the Bank does not have an allowance for credit loss for these investments.

Restricted Stock at Cost

The Bank held $8.9 million of restricted stock at the end of 2025 of which all but $30 thousand is stock in the FHLB, carried at a cost of $100 per share. FHLB stock is evaluated for impairment primarily based on an assessment of the ultimate recoverability of its cost. As a government sponsored entity, FHLB has the ability to raise funding through the U.S. Treasury that can be used to support its operations. There is not a public market for FHLB stock and the benefits of FHLB membership (e.g., liquidity and low-cost funding) add value to the stock beyond purely financial measures. If FHLB stock were deemed to be impaired, the write-down for the Bank could be significant. Management intends to remain a member of the FHLB and believes that it will be able to fully recover the cost basis of this investment.

Loans Held for Sale:

At December 31, 2026, the Bank had $18.9 million of loans held for sale, compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2024. The increase is due primarily to a decision by the Bank during the fourth quarter of 2025 to sell $15.8 million of residential mortgage loans originated in prior years as held for investment loans. Upon the decision to sell the loans, they were reclassified as held for sale. The Bank has an agreement to sell the loans at a fixed price and the sale is expected to be completed early in the first quarter of 2026.

Loans:

The loan portfolio increased by 11.7% ($163.2 million) in 2025, due primarily to an increase of $100.2 million in commercial real estate loans and $45.6 million in residential real estate 1-4 family loans. Average gross loans for 2025 increased by $181.6 million to $1.505 billion. Commercial real estate, mortgage and consumer loans showed an increase in average balances during the year, which was partially offset by a decline in commercial loans during the year. The yield on the portfolio increased in 2025 to 5.84% from 5.65% in 2024. Table 3, previously presented, shows the average balances and yields earned on loans for the past two years.

The following table shows loans outstanding, by class, as of December 31 for the past 2 years.

Residential real estate:This category is comprised of first lien loans and, to a lesser extent, junior liens and lines of credit secured by residential real estate, as well as loans made to individuals secured by unimproved non-commercial real estate. Total residential real estate loans increased $45.6 million in 2025, primarily in consumer first lien loans. In 2025, the Bank originated $136.1 million in mortgages compared to $123.1 million in 2024, including approximately $44.7 million for sale in the secondary market. The Bank

does not originate or hold any loans that would be considered sub-prime or Alt-A and does not generally originate mortgages outside of its primary market area.

Commercial purpose loans in this category represent loans made for various business needs but are secured with residential real estate. In addition to the real estate collateral, it is possible that additional security is provided by personal guarantees or UCC filings. These loans are underwritten as commercial loans and are not originated to be sold.

Residential real estate construction:The largest component of this category, $29.6 million, represents loans for individuals to construct personal residences, while loans to residential real estate developers and home builders totaled $24.5 million at December 31, 2025. The Bank's exposure to residential construction loans is concentrated primarily in south central Pennsylvania. Real estate construction loans, including residential real estate and land development loans, occasionally provide an interest reserve in order to assist the developer during the development stage when minimal cash flow is generated.

Commercial real estate (CRE): This category includes commercial, industrial, and farm loans, where real estate serves as the primary collateral for the loan. This loan category increased by $100.2 million over the prior year. The three largest sectors by collateral in 2025 were apartment buildings ($181.7 million), hotels & motels ($102.2 million), and development land ($97.0 million). Included in commercial real estate are approximately $714.1 million of nonowner occupied loans mostly located in the Bank's market area of south-central Pennsylvania. The Bank's CRE concentration ratio was 349.9% of risk-based capital at December 31, 2025 compared to 332.9% at December 31, 2024.

Also included in CRE are real estate construction loans totaling $220.9 million. At December 31, 2025, the Bank had $109.4 million in real estate construction loans funded with an interest reserve and capitalized $4.1 million of interest in 2025 from these reserves on active projects for commercial construction. Real estate construction loans are monitored on a regular basis by either an independent third-party inspector or the assigned loan officer depending on loan amount or complexity of the project. This monitoring process includes, at a minimum, the submission of invoices or AIA documents (depending on the complexity of the project) detailing costs incurred by the borrower, on-site inspections, and a signature by the assigned loan officer for disbursement of funds. All real estate construction loans are underwritten in the same manner, regardless of the use of an interest reserve.

Commercial: This category includes commercial, industrial, farm, agricultural, and tax-free loans. Collateral for these loans may include business assets or equipment, personal guarantees, or other non-real estate collateral. Commercial loans decreased $5.1 million over the 2024 ending balance. At December 31, 2025, the Bank had approximately $102 million of tax-free loans in its portfolio.

Loan Quality:

Management utilizes a risk rating scale ranging from 1-Prime to 9-Loss to evaluate loan quality. This risk rating scale is used primarily for commercial purpose loans. Consumer purpose loans are identified as either a pass or substandard rating based on the performance status of the loans. Substandard consumer loans are loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing. Loans rated 1 - 4 are considered pass credits. Loans that are rated 5-Pass Watch are credits that have been identified as credits that are likely to warrant additional attention and monitoring. Loans rated 6-Other Asset Especially Mentioned (OAEM) or worse begin to receive enhanced monitoring and reporting by the Bank. Loans rated 7-Substandard or 8-Doubtful exhibit the greatest financial weakness and present the greatest possible risk of loss to the Bank. Nonaccrual loans are rated no better than 7-Substandard. The following represent some of the factors used in determining the risk rating of a borrower: cash flow, debt coverage, liquidity, management, and collateral. Risk ratings, for pass credits, are generally reviewed annually for term debt and at renewal for revolving or renewing debt. The Bank monitors overall loan quality of the portfolio by reviewing three primary measurements: (1) loans rated 6-OAEM or worse (collectively "watch list"), (2) delinquent loans, and (3) net-charge-offs.

Watch list loans exhibit financial weaknesses that increase the potential risk of default or loss to the Bank. However, inclusion on the watch list, does not by itself mean a loss is certain. The watch list includes both performing and nonperforming loans. Watch list loans totaled $58.8 million at year-end compared to $21.5 million one year earlier. At December 31, 2025, commercial real estate loans rated 7-Substandard increased by $15.7 million and commercial loans rated 6-OAEM increased by $21.6 million from the prior year end. Included in the watch list are $8.5 million of nonaccrual loans at year-end 2025, compared to $266 thousand at year-end 2024.The composition of the watch list (loans rated 6, 7 or 8), by primary collateral, is shown in Note 6 of the accompanying financial statements.

Delinquent loans are a result of borrowers' cash flow and/or alternative sources of cash being insufficient to repay loans. The Bank's likelihood of collateral liquidation to repay the loans becomes more probable the further behind a borrower falls, particularly when loans reach 90 days or more past due. Management monitors the performance status of loans by the use of an ageing report. The ageing report can provide an early indicator of loans that may become severely delinquent and possibly result in a loss to the Bank. See Note 6 in the accompanying financial statements for information on the age of payments in the loan portfolio.

Nonaccruing loans generally represent Management's determination that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan in accordance with its contractual terms and that collateral liquidation may or may not fully repay both interest and principal. It is the Bank's policy to evaluate the probable collectability of principal and interest due under terms of loan contracts for all loans 90-days or more, nonaccrual loans, or impaired loans. Further, it is the Bank's policy to discontinue accruing interest on loans that are not adequately secured and in the process of collection. Upon determination of nonaccrual status, the Bank subtracts any current year accrued and unpaid interest from its income, and any prior year accrued and unpaid interest from the allowance for loan losses. Management continually monitors the status of nonperforming loans, the value of any collateral and potential for risk of loss. Nonaccrual loans are rated no better than 7-Substandard.

The Bank's Loan Management Committee reviews these loans and risk ratings on a quarterly basis in order to proactively identify and manage problem loans. In addition, a committee meets monthly to discuss possible workout strategies for all credits rated 7-Substandard or worse. Management also tracks other commercial loan risk measurements including high loan to value loans, concentrations, participations and policy exceptions and reports these to the Board Enterprise Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors. The Bank also uses an external loan review consultant to assist with internal loan review with a goal of reviewing up to 80% of commercial loans each year. The FDIC defines certain supervisory loan-to-value lending limits. The Bank's internal loan-to-value limits are all equal to or have a lower loan-to-value limit than the supervisory limits. However, in certain instances, the Bank may make a loan that exceeds the supervisory loan-to-value limit. At December 31, 2025, the Bank had loans of $16.0 million (1.0% of gross loans) that exceeded the supervisory loan-to value limit, compared to 1.0% at the prior year end.

Loan quality, as measured by nonaccrual loans, totaled $8.5 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $266 thousand at December 31, 2024 and the nonperforming loan to total loans ratio was 0.55% at December 31, 2025 compared to 0.02% at December 31, 2024. Loans past due 90-days or more, but still accruing, totaled $5 thousand at December 31, 2025 compared to $2 thousand at the prior year end. The increase in nonaccrual loans in 2025 was largely due to one commercial real estate loan for $7.1 million. This loan is a construction loan on a mixed-use commercial project. This construction loan is current on payments as of December 31, 2025, however, a specific reserve of $892 thousand has been established for this loan.

In addition to monitoring nonaccrual loans, the Bank also closely monitors loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments due according to the originally contracted terms of the loan agreement.

Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may include interest rate reductions, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearances, term extensions, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Bank had no modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

As of December 31, 2025, the Bank had outstanding loans to a related party of a Bank Director who is considered an "insider" under Regulation O. The loans were originated in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated persons.

The loans are currently classified as Substandard (rated 7) on the Bank's internal credit risk rating system, indicating potential weaknesses that warrant management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the loans was $4.7 million, and were not past due or on nonaccrual status.

The loans were approved in accordance with the Bank's policies and procedures for related party transactions and insider lending, including board-level review and compliance with Regulation O. Management continues to monitor the credit quality of the loans and does not believe they pose a material risk to the Corporation's financial condition.

No preferential terms were granted, and the Bank believes the transaction does not impair the independence or objectivity of the Director involved.

Allowance for Credit Losses:

Allowance for Credit Losses- Loans

The ACL for loans is established through provisions for credit losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the ACL, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL.

The ACL for loans is an estimate of the losses expected to be realized over the life of the loan portfolio. The ACL is determined for two distinct categories of loans: 1) loans evaluated individually for expected credit losses (specific reserve), and 2) loans evaluated collectively for expected credit losses (pooled reserve). Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the ACL for loans is based on the Bank'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 forecasts and conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, borrowers' actual

or perceived financial and managerial strengths, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material assumptions and estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on loans evaluated individually.

Loans evaluated individually for credit losses are primarily commercial purpose loans that do not share similar characteristics with those loans evaluated in the pool. These loans may exhibit performance characteristics where it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All commercial purpose loans greater than $250 thousand and rated Substandard (7), Doubtful (8) or on nonaccrual status may be considered for individual evaluation. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by one of the following methods: the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the loan's obtainable market price. Commercial purpose loans with a balance less than $250 thousand, and consumer purpose loans are not evaluated individually for a specific reserve but are included in the pooled reserve calculation. Loans that are evaluated for a specific reserve, but not needing a specific reserve are not included in the pooled reserve calculation.

The Corporation has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the measurement of the ACL. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any outstanding current accrued interest is reversed against income and prior year accrued interest is deducted from the ACL.

The pooled reserve represents the ACL for pools of homogenous loans, not evaluated individually. The pooled reserve is calculated using a quantitative and qualitative component for the loan pools.

The following inputs are used to calculate the quantitative component for the loan pool:

ï‚·Segregating loans into homogeneous pools by the FRB Call Code which is primarily a collateral-based and secondarily a purpose-based segmentation.

ï‚·The average remaining life of each pool is calculated using the weighted average remaining maturity method (WARM). The WARM method produces an estimated remaining balance by pool, by year, until maturity.

ï‚·A historical credit loss rate is calculated for each pool, using the average historical loss, by FRB Call Code, for a peer group of Pennsylvania community banks over the last eight quarters. The loss rate is calculated over a historical period the Bank believes best represents a period, based on a reasonable and supportable forecast, that will be similar to the next four quarters.

ï‚·The historical credit loss rate is applied to each WARM bucket though the initial four quarter forward-looking period.

ï‚·At the end of the forward-looking period, the credit loss rate applied to each WARM bucket reverts to the peer group historical loss rate for the respective pool.

ï‚·Collectively these estimated losses represent the quantitative component of the pooled reserve.

The qualitative component for the pool utilizes a risk matrix comprised of eight risk factors and assigns a risk level to each factor. The risk factors give consideration to changes in: lending policy, procedures and practice; economic conditions; nature and volume of loans; experience of lending team; volume of past due loans; quality of the loan review system; concentrations of credit; and other external factors. The risk factors are weighted to reflect Management's estimate of how the factor affects potential losses. The risk levels within each factor are measured in basis points and range from minimal risk to very high risk and are determined independently for commercial loans, residential mortgage loans and consumer loans.

The ACL for pooled loans is the sum of the quantitative and qualitative loss estimates.

Allowance for Credit Losses- Unfunded Commitments

The ACL for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The ACL represents management's estimate of expected losses from unfunded commitments and is determined by estimating future usage of the commitments, based on historical usage. The estimated loss is calculated in a manner similar to that used for the ACL for loans, previously described. The ACL is increased or decreased through the provision for credit losses.

The following table shows the allocation of the allowance for credit losses and other loan performance ratios, by class, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Goodwill:

The Bank has $9.0 million of goodwill recorded on its balance sheet as the result of corporate acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized, nor deductible for tax purposes. However, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with ASC Topic 350. Goodwill was tested for impairment as of August 31, 2025. The 2025 test was conducted using a qualitative assessment method that requires the use of significant assumptions in order to make a determination of impairment. These assumptions may include, but are not limited to: macroeconomic factors, banking industry conditions, banking merger and acquisition trends, the Bank's historical financial performance, the Corporation's stock price, forecast Bank financial performance, and change of control premiums. Management determined the Bank's goodwill was likely not impaired and did not make a further assessment.

The 2024 impairment test was also conducted using a qualitative assessment and Management determined the Bank's goodwill was likely not impaired in 2024 and did not make a further assessment.

At December 31, 2025, Management subsequently considered certain qualitative factors affecting the Corporation and determined that it was not likely that the results of the prior test had changed, and it determined that goodwill was not impaired at year-end.

Deposits:

The Bank depends on deposits generated in the normal course of business as its primary source of funds. The Bank offers numerous deposit products including demand deposits (noninterest and interest-bearing accounts), savings, money management accounts, and time deposits (certificates of deposits/CDs) to retail, commercial, and municipal customers. Table 11 shows a comparison of the major deposit categories over a two-year period at December 31. Table 3, presented previously, shows the average balance of the major deposit categories and the average cost of these deposits over a two-year period.

Interest-bearing checking:This category increased $14.0 million in the ending balance compared to the prior year and decreased $2.7 million compared to the prior year average in 2025. The cost of these accounts decreased by 2 basis points year over year.

Money management:The year over year balance increased $76.4 million and the average balance increased $132.0 million compared to the 2024 average balance. The cost of this product decreased by 43 basis points during the year as market rates decreased.

Savings:These accounts increased $1.5 million during the year while the average balance decreased $6.1 million compared to the 2024 average balance. The cost of this product decreased by 7 basis points during the year as market rates decreased.

Time deposits:Total time deposits decreased by $91.6 million in 2025 with an increase in the average balance of $94.0 million. The cost of these accounts decreased from 4.43% to 4.15% as market rates decreased. Included in this category is $22.1 million of brokered CDs, which decreased $65.0 million over the prior year end balance of $87.1 million.

Reciprocal deposits:At year-end 2025, the Bank had $324.5 million placed in the IntraFi Network deposit program ($124.8 million in interest-bearing checking and $199.6 million in money management) and $24.5 million of time deposits placed into the CDARS program. These programs allow the Bank to offer full FDIC coverage to large depositors, but with the convenience to the customer of only having to deal with one bank. The Bank solicits these deposits from within its market and it believes they present no greater risk than any other local deposit. Only reciprocal deposits that exceed 20% of liabilities are considered brokered deposits for regulatory reporting purposes. At December 31, 2025, the Bank's reciprocal deposits were 17.0% of total liabilitiescompared to 16.1% at prior year-end.

The Bank continually reviews different methods of funding growth that include traditional deposits and other wholesale sources. Competition from other local financial institutions, internet banks, credit unions and brokerages will continue to be a challenge for the Bank in its efforts to attract new and retain existing deposit accounts. This competition is not expected to lessen in the future.

Uninsured deposits:Aggregate estimated uninsured deposits at December 31, 2025 were $399.8 million (21.8% of total deposits) compared to $411.6 million (22.7% of total deposits) at December 31, 2024 utilizing Call Report methodology. Certain Bank deposits may not be insured but are fully collateralized by other assets. The Bank estimates that approximately 87% of its deposits are FDIC insured or collateralized as of December 31, 2025.

At December 31, 2025, time deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit and time deposits that are otherwise uninsured by maturity were as follows:

Borrowings:

As of December 31, 2025, the Bank had outstanding borrowings of $200.0 million in a term loan from FHLB maturing in January 2027 at a rate of 4.32%. The proceeds of the term loan were used to restructure borrowings and to fund expected loan growth.

On September 30, 2025, the Corporation redeemed $9.0 million of its $15.0 million fixed to floating subordinate notes due September 1, 2030 utilizing excess cash on hand. As of December 31, 2025, the Corporation had $11.0 million of unsecured subordinated debt notes remaining outstanding of which $6.0 million mature on September 1, 2030 and $5.0 million mature on September 1, 2035. The notes are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet net of remaining debt issuance costs totaling $155 thousand which is being amortized on a pro-rata basis, based on the maturity date of the notes, on an effective interest method. The subordinated notes totaling $6.0 million have a variable interest rate of 90-day Average Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 4.93% and will reset quarterly. The subordinated notes totaling $5.0 million have a fixed interest rate of 5.25% through June 29, 2030, then convert to a variable rate of 90-day SOFR plus 4.92% for the applicable interest periods through maturity. The Corporation may, at its option, redeem the notes at par, in whole or in part, at any time 5-years prior to the maturity. The notes are structured to qualify as Tier 2 Capital for the Corporation and there are no debt covenants on the notes.

Shareholders' Equity:

Shareholders' equity increased by $30.5 million to $175.2 million at December 31, 2025. Retained earnings increased $15.4 million in 2025 from earnings of $21.2 million offset by dividends paid of $5.8 million ($1.31 per share). The dividend payout ratio was 27.5% in 2025 compared to 50.7% in 2024.

The Board of Directors periodically authorizes the repurchase of the Corporation's $1.00 par value common stock. Information regarding stock repurchase plans in place during the year are included in Item 5 Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities. Additional information on Shareholders' Equity is reported in Note 20 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Corporation's dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) allows for shareholders to purchase additional shares of the Corporation's common stock by reinvesting cash dividends paid on their shares or through optional cash payments. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) added $1.2 million to capital during 2025. This total was comprised of $1.0 million from the reinvestment of quarterly dividends and $213 thousand of optional cash purchases.

A strong capital position is important to the Corporation as it provides a solid foundation for the future growth of the Corporation, as well as instills confidence in the Bank by depositors, regulators and investors, and is considered essential by Management. The Corporation is continually exploring other sources of capital as part of its capital management plan for the Corporation and the Bank.

Common measures of adequate capitalization for banking institutions are capital ratios. These ratios indicate the proportion of permanently committed funds to the total asset base. Guidelines issued by federal and state regulatory authorities require both banks and bank holding companies to meet minimum leverage capital ratios and risk-based capital ratios.

The leverage ratio compares Tier 1 capital to average assets while the risk-based ratio compares Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets and off-balance-sheet activity in order to make capital levels more sensitive to the risk profiles of individual banks. Tier 1 capital is comprised of common stock, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings and components of other comprehensive income, reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets. Total capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital plus the allowable portion of the allowance for loan losses.

The Corporation, as a bank holding company, is required to comply with the capital adequacy standards established by Federal Reserve Board. The Bank is required to comply with capital adequacy standards established by the FDIC. In addition, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking also requires state-chartered banks to maintain a 6% leverage capital level and 10% risk-based capital, defined substantially the same as the federal regulations.

The Corporation and the Bank are subject to the capital requirements contained in the regulation generally referred to as Basel III. The Basel III standards were effective for the Corporation and the Bank, effective January 1, 2015. Basel III imposes significantly higher capital requirements and more restrictive leverage and liquidity ratios than those previously in place. The capital ratios to be considered "well capitalized" under Basel III are: (1) Common Equity Tier 1(CET1) of 6.5%, (2) Tier 1 Leverage of 5%, (3) Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital of 8%, and (4) Total Risk-Based Capital of 10%. The CET1 ratio is a new capital ratio under Basel III and the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8% has been increased from 6%. The rules also included changes in the risk weights of certain assets to better reflect credit and other risk exposures. In addition, a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% is applicable to all of the capital ratios except for the Tier 1 Leverage ratio. The capital conservation buffer is equal to the lowest value of the three applicable capital ratios less the regulatory minimum ("adequately capitalized") for each respective capital measurement. The Bank's capital conservation buffer at December 31, 2025 was 5.27%. Compliance with the capital conservation buffer is required in order to avoid limitations on certain capital distributions, especially dividends. As of December 31, 2025, the Bank was "well capitalized' under the Basel III requirements.

In 2019, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) was approved by federal banking agencies as an optional capital measure available to Qualifying Community Banking Organizations (QCBO). If a bank qualifies as a QCBR and maintains a CBLR of 9% or greater, the bank would be considered "well-capitalized" for regulatory capital purposes and exempt from complying with the Basel III risk-based capital rule. The CBLR rule was effective January 1, 2020 and banks could opt-in through an election in the first quarter 2020 regulatory filings. The Bank met the criteria of a QCBO but did not opt-in to the CBLR.

The consolidated asset limit on small bank holding companies is $3 billion and a company with assets under that limit is not subject to the consolidated capital rules but may file reports that include capital amounts and ratios. The Corporation has elected to file those reports.

The following table presents capital ratios for the Corporation and Bank at December 31:

Local Economy

The Corporation's primary market area includes Franklin, Fulton, Cumberland, Huntingdon, and Dauphin County, PA, and Washington County, MD. This area is diverse in demographic and economic composition. County populations range from a low of approximately 15,000 in Fulton County to over 289,000 in Dauphin County. The market area has a diverse economic base and local industries include warehousing, truck and rail shipping centers, light and heavy manufacturers, health care, higher education institutions, farming and agriculture, and a varied service sector. The market area provides easy access to the major metropolitan markets on the east coast via trucking and rail transportation. Because of this, warehousing and distribution companies continue to find the area attractive. The local economy is not overly dependent on any one industry or business and Management believes that the Bank's primary market area continues to be well suited for growth. The following provides selected economic data for the Bank's primary market at December 31:

The assets and liabilities of the Corporation are financial in nature, as such, the pricing of products, customer demand for certain types of products, and the value of assets and liabilities are greatly influenced by interest rates. As such, interest rates and changes in interest rates may have a more significant effect on the Corporation's financial results than on other types of industries. Because of this, the Corporation watches the actions of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) as it makes decisions about interest rate changes and monetary policy. In January 2026, the FOMC release included this: "Available indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace. Job gains have remained low, and the unemployment rate has shown some signs of stabilization. Inflation remains somewhat elevated. The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate. In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 percent. In considering the extent and timing of additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective. In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments." Over the long-term, the Corporation benefits from higher interest rates.

Liquidity

The Corporation conducts substantially all of its business through its bank subsidiary. The liquidity needs of the Corporation are funded primarily by the bank subsidiary, supplemented with liquidity from its dividend reinvestment plan.

The Bank must meet the financial needs of the customers that it serves, while providing a satisfactory return on the shareholders' investment. In order to accomplish this, the Corporation must maintain sufficient liquidity in order to respond quickly to the changing level of funds required for both loan and deposit activity. The goal of liquidity management is to meet the ongoing cash flow requirements of depositors who want to withdraw funds and of borrowers who request loan disbursements. The Bank regularly reviews its liquidity position by measuring its projected net cash flows (in and out) at a 30 and 90-day interval. The Bank stress tests this measurement by assuming a level of deposit out-flows that have not historically been realized. In addition to this forecast, other funding sources are reviewed as a method to provide emergency funding if necessary. The objective of this measurement is to identify the amount of cash that could be raised quickly without the need to liquidate assets. The Bank also stresses its liquidity position utilizing different longer-term scenarios. The varying degrees of stress create pressure on deposit flows in its local market, reduce access to wholesale funding and limit access of funds available through brokered deposit channels. In addition to stressing cash flow, specific liquidity risk indicators are monitored to help identify risk areas. This analysis helps identify and quantify the potential cash surplus/deficit over a variety of time horizons to ensure the Bank has adequate funding resources. Assumptions used for liquidity stress testing are subjective. Should an evolving liquidity situation or business cycle present new data, potential assumption changes will be considered. The Bank believes it can meet all anticipated liquidity demands.

Historically, the Bank has satisfied its liquidity needs from earnings, repayment of loans, amortizing and maturing investment securities, loan sales, deposit growth and its ability to access existing lines of credit. All investment securities are classified as available for sale; therefore, marketable securities that are unencumbered as collateral for borrowings are an additional source of

readily available liquidity (approximately $93.6 million fair value), either by selling the security or, more preferably, to provide collateral for additional borrowing. The Bank also has access to other wholesale funding via the brokered CD market and has access to $160.0 million, as of December 31, 2025, of reciprocal deposits placed by the Bank's Wealth Management department with a third-party reciprocal deposit network provider.

The FHLB system has always been a major source of funding for community banks. There are no indicators that lead the Bank to believe the FHLB will discontinue its lending function or restrict the Bank's ability to borrow. If either of these events were to occur, it would have a material negative effect on the Bank, and it is highly unlikely that the Bank could replace the level of FHLB funding in a short time. The Bank has also established credit at the Federal Reserve Discount Window and unsecured lines of credit at correspondent banks.

Off Balance Sheet Commitments

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 mainly of unfunded loans and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet loans and lines of credit. Because these unfunded instruments have fixed maturity dates and many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Corporation. The ACL for unfunded commitments is reported in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
