“Loans increased in the second quarter and overall asset quality continued to improve,” said E. Philip Wenger, Chairman, CEO and President. “We also saw a significant increase in non-interest income. Noninterest-bearing deposits showed continued good growth, but lower yields on earning assets combined with higher overall funding costs put modest pressure on our net interest margin. Non-interest expenses reflected the continued build-out of our risk management and regula

Non-performing assets were $162.8 million, or 0.96 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2014, compared to $170.2 million, or 1.01 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2014 and $210.2 million, or 1.23 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2013. The $7.4 million, or 4.4 percent, decrease in non-performing assets in comparison to the first quarter of 2014 was primarily due to decreases in non-performing commercial mortgages, residential mortgages, consumer and home equity loans and other real estate owned.

Annualized net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 were 0.28 percent of average total loans, compared to 0.26 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 0.56 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 129.6 percent at June 30, 2014, as compared to 128.5 percent at March 31, 2014 and 115.0 percent at June 30, 2013.

Non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $5.3 million, or 13.6 percent, in comparison to the first quarter of 2014. Mortgage banking income increased $2.1 million as volumes increased and amortization of mortgage servicing rights declined in the second quarter. Other service charges and fees increased $1.6 million, or 17.9%, including a $1.1 million increase in merchant fee income. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $841,000, or 7.2 percent, including a $245,000 increase in overdraft fees.

Non-interest expense increased $6.6 million, or 6.0 percent, in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2014. Salaries and employee benefits increased $4.1 million, or 6.8 percent, in comparison to the first quarter of 2014, due primarily to increases in incentive compensation accruals, self-insured healthcare costs and stock compensation expense, partially offset by a seasonal decrease in payroll taxes. Also contributing to the increase in non-interest

expense was a $3.4 million increase in other outside services, associated, in part, with the recent acceleration of risk management and compliance efforts, including those in connection with the enhancement of the Corporation’s program for compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and related anti-money laundering regulations, which is the subject of recent enforcement orders received by three of the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries. These enforcement orders were discussed in greater detail in the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2014. Net occupancy expense decreased $2.1 million due to snow removal costs incurred in the first quarter of 2014, and the impact of branch consolidations.
