TIMTALK SHAREHOLDER UPDATE Marking a Major Milestone on Our Way Back to Normal Timothy (Tim) G. Henry President & CEO Q4 Franklin Financial reported consolidated earnings of $5.9 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $3.5 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. Our strong third-quarter financial performance marked a continuation of our move back to “normal” as we saw strong fee income generated by our Residential Mortgage and Investment & Trust teams. The quarter also saw the sale of our current company headquarters and the early stages of renovations at our future headquarters on Nitterhouse Drive in Chambersburg, a move that was dictated by the current and anticipated growth of the bank. Our Investment & Trust team continues to help customers meet their retirement financial goals and recently reached a significant milestone of managing more than $1 billion in assets. We did so by establishing long-term relationships between customers and advisors who understand them on a personal level. Additional information can be found on page 6. Giving back to our communities continues to be a focus for the company. As part of our annual Banktoberfest celebration, we recently donated more than 600 cases of nonperishable items to a pair of food pantries in Shippensburg that serve more than 1,000 residents of Franklin and Cumberland counties each month. You can read more about our contribution on page 8. As we near the end of 2021 and look ahead to what we hope is a prosperous 2022, I thank you for your continued support and trust. Sincerely yours, Timothy G. Henry President & CEO Franklin Financial Services Corporation and F&M Trust 2 Your Way Quarterly

CLIENT PROFILE Clayton Black, Owner Keystone Ford A FINE-TUNED RELATIONSHIP Keystone Ford Chambersburg | Franklin County When Clayton Black and the team at Keystone Ford went searching for a financial institution back in 2004, they wanted a hometown bank with whom they could build a relationship – one that would understand the local economy. “I feel like F&M Trust does that,” says Black. Black, who was the General Manager at that time, began building a relationship with Commercial Services Market Manager Phil Pantano. “It was amazing when Phil came on, because he was just all about getting to know everything about our business, and he made me feel he truly cared from the very beginning.” Black goes on to say, “He really tries to find what we need and gets it done. Our relationship with Phil and F&M Trust is one of the strongest you can ask for in business.” Black purchased the dealership in 2019, and he credits part of his ability to do that to F&M Trust. “They believe in me because of the relationship we built. They trusted how I ran the dealership as General Manager, and they knew the same performance and standards would be maintained when I became the owner.” As Keystone Ford continues to grow, their relationship with F&M Trust will grow as well. Now that’s Banking Done Your Way®.

Milestones $1 BILLION in Assets Under Management The First Board of Directors in 1906 For more than 115 years, F&M Trust has worked with the community to help its customers invest in their hopes and dreams. Recently, that personal touch paid off when the bank’s Investment & Trust Services division reached a significant milestone – managing more than $1 billion in assets. “F&M Trust is doing community banking the right way. The larger institutional firms are scaling back and trimming down to one-size-fits-all models. That’s not what our customers signed up for,” said Scott Ehrig, Senior Vice President and Chief Investment & Trust Services Officer. “Our customers want a long-term relationship with an advisor who understands them on a personal level. That’s what we provide.” F&M Trust is focused on encouraging its customers to have better relationships with their money and to use the available bank resources and technologies to accomplish their retirement financial goals. The bank’s Investment & Trust Services team strives to strengthen relationships, elevate the quality and sophistication of financial advice, and drive superior outcomes for its customers. 6 YOUR WAY QUARTERLY
