2 Forward-Looking Information Certain statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking in nature. These include all statements about PWB’s plans, objectives, expectations and other statements that are not historical facts, and usually use words such as "expect," "anticipate," "believe" and similar expressions. Such statements represent management's current beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause PWB’s actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements. Factors of particular importance to PWB include, but are not limited to: (1) changes in general, national or regional economic conditions; (2) changes in interest rates; (3) changes in loan default and charge-off rates; (4) changes in deposit levels; (5) changes in levels of income and expense in non-interest income and expense related activities; (6) residential mortgage and secondary market activity; (7) changes in accounting and regulatory guidance applicable to banks; (8) price levels and conditions in the public securities markets generally; (9) competition and its effect on pricing, spending, third-party relationships and revenues; (10) changes in regulation resulting from or relating to financial reform legislation; and (11) the risk factors identified in PWB’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in other filings made by PWB under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. PWB does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc.

3 Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures include tangible book value per share and return on average tangible common equity. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures because this information is commonly utilized by regulators and investors to evaluate financial condition, and is therefore useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures, tangible book value per share and return on average tangible common equity, used in this presentation to the related GAAP measure is included in the appendix to this presentation.
