From Storms to Strength, Building a Legacy of Endurance Navigating New Landscapes

GRAPHIC

Every year throughout its long history, C&N is presented with new challenges, yet 2023 was unique and extraordinary from the beginning. As we turned the calendar from 2022 into 2023, the Federal Reserve continued its fight on inflation with continued rate increases. After reducing the fed funds rate target to 0%- 0.25% at the onset of COVID in 2020, between March of 2022 and July of 2023, it raised the target rate 11 times to 5.25% to 5.50%, the fastest and largest increase in more than 40 years. While both short- and long-term rates increased, the pace of change on the short end produced an inverted yield curve that has persisted into early 2024. With an inverted yield PRESIDENT&CEO curve generally heralding recession, economists have debated when (and if) a recession would materialize, as higher rates have slowed the economy. In March, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank were closed followed by the failure of First Republic Bank in May. While there have been few bank failures in recent years, these were three of the four largest failures in U.S. banking history. While the government and federal regulators took swift action to guarantee these banks’ deposits and reassure customers, there were fears across the country regarding liquidity, challenging all bankers to restore confidence in their banks and the overall system. The industry responded well to these events, calming fears and reducing deposit churn as the months progressed. The C&N team took action to reinforce customer confidence emphasizing the strength of our capital position, diverse local depositor base, low level of uninsured deposits, and access to substantial additional sources of liquidity. These strengths remain today. “The C&N team took action to reinforce customer confidence emphasizing the strength of our capital position, diverse local depositor base, low level of uninsured deposits, and access to substantial additional sources of liquidity.

This environment highlighted our adaptability and agility as the entire team heightened our focus on sustaining and building our strong deposit base. Generating core deposits has always been a key part of our relationship model that focuses on creating value for our clients, not simply paying the highest rates. This model provides both solid liquidity and supports our historically strong net interest margin and earnings. I am pleased to report that the team’s pivot and collective efforts accomplished our goals. Our performance for the year was solid and our strong financial position and risk profile supports our plans for growth. C&N posted a net income of $24.1 million or $1.57 per share in 2023, compared to $26.6 million or $1.71 per share in 2022. 2023 results include a net charge to earnings of $.08 per share, a result of repositioning a portion of our securities portfolio and investments in bank-owned life insurance. One of the most significant factors impacting 2023 results was the lack of growth in net interest income. While we did sustain our strong deposit base and generated solid loan growth, the cost of deposits and other funding sources increased more than the yield on loans and investments causing a decline in this key revenue source. Offsetting this revenue decrease, the provision for credit losses declined substantially, reflecting strong and stable credit quality in the loan portfolio. Non-interest income, excluding the impact of the balance sheet restructuring in the fourth quarter, increased somewhat. And the increase in noninterest expenses reflects the impact of inflation as well as ongoing investments in our capacity to deliver value for customers and position for growth. 4 Bank stock prices were generally volatile during 2023, C&N included. The December 31,2023 closing price was $22.43, about 2% lower than a year earlier. However, the 52-week high and low were $23.90 and $16.71, respectively. All through these fluctuations, C&N shares retained a strong valuation relative to the industry as measured by price-to-book value and price earnings multiples. Supporting this strength and reflecting confidence in the future of C&N, total cash dividends to shareholders for 2023 remained at $1.12 per share. This represents a 4.99% annualized yield on C&N common stock based on the December 31, 2023, closing price of $22.43 per share. Branches&Roots With the disrupted banking environment of 2023, our Branch Delivery teams went above and beyond to educate and inform customers on the details of deposit insurance, while meeting their needs and creating value. As always, we worked to enhance our ability to provide outstanding service by asking customers and our teams to consider the hallmarks of a great C&N experience and how we can know when we’ve delivered. Utilizing this feedback, our customer Experience Coordinator and dedicated Customer Experience Team developed formal standards that will serve as a framework for providing consistent, streamlined, excellent service. This means instead of simply recommending a product or service without context, our teams are seeking to understand customer needs, and recommend appropriate solutions based on their 05 2023 ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS

existing “connection points” with C&N, whether that’s depositing a check with your Personal Banker, or assessing retirement options with a Financial Advisor. We’re also deepening the connection with our Southeast and Southcentral Pennsylvania regions. In August, we welcomed three new members to our Southeast Wealth Management team and in January 2024 we welcomed three new commercial lenders to serve the Lancaster area, ensuring we are well-positioned to pursue opportunities in each market. Technology&Data We continued to make significant, targeted investments in technology that will help us to anticipate our customers’ needs and provide the means for following up promptly across departments when a need is recognized. We’re also making our products, services and platforms even easier and more streamlined. Our new small business lending platform, for example, will allow small business customers to quickly apply for a loan with a few clicks or swipes on their phone! In May, we updated our C&N Lifetime credit card platform with significantly improved functionality and several enhanced features. This new portal allows for a fully digital application process, mobile friendly website, greater utility and value for business customers, and easy access to account services. We also advanced technology with the introduction of “Andy”, our virtual assistant, that helps customers answer questions 24/7! And in the coming months, we will be introducing significant enhancements to our online deposit platforms that will provide a seamless, convenient digital experience for both personal and business banking. Teams &Culture In January 2023, Kelley Cwiklinski joined the executive team as our Chief Commercial Lending Officer. In addition to her broad experience, Kelley’s leadership and commitment to creating value for customers is a great fit for C&N and was important as we navigated the challenging marketplace in 2023. Our teams have again shone their dedication to our 2023 ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS 06 “Our performance for the year was solid and our strong financial position and risk profile supports our plans for growth.”

communities with our Giving Back, Giving together initiatives. Last May, we closed our Emergency Services campaign, bringing in over $100,000 to support local emergency services organizations. Our current cause of supporting local seniors has already earned over $50,000, halfway to our $100,000 goal! C&N is partnered with 33 local senior organizations on their mission, and our teams will continue to support this cause across all markets in 2024! We also had a record year for our financial literacy programs, reaching over 1,700 students with our Teach Children to Save and Get Smart About Credit in-school presentations. These achievements reflect our unwavering commitment to financial education and community engagement. And in January we began our Safe Banking for Seniors program; an initiative that helps seniors navigate financial topics like avoiding scams, understanding power of attorney, and preventing identify theft. As we reflect on the events of 2023, it’s clear we would not be here without the engagement and resilience of our teams. Through all the challenges of this most unique year, they remained focused on creating value for our customers, reaffirming our commitment to serving the community, while also building capacity to pursue our strategy for growth. It is their effort that will continue to generate long-term value for you, our shareholders. Our current cause of supporting local seniors has already earned over $50,000, halfway to our $100,000 goal! We’re also making our products, services & platforms even easier and more streamlined.

COMMUNITY&COMMITMENT 2023 ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS 18 C&N’s story isn’t confined to balance sheets and teller windows; it’s woven into the very fabric of the communities we serve. We’re more than just a bank, we’re neighbors, friends, and partners, dedicated to building a brighter future for everyone GIVING BACK, GIVING TOGETHER: C&N’s “Giving Back, Giving Together” initiative works to rewrite the story for local seniors. As of December 2023, this remarkable effort has already surpassed $50,000, but the true measure lies not in dollars, but in the 317 essential items donated, the 55 volunteer hours shared, and the countless smiles painted on faces that truly define this effort. Every dollar raised stays within our community, supporting 33 local senior organizations who know our seniors best. We don’t just deliver warmth; we remind our seniors they’re valued, their stories treasured, their lives worth enriching. Join us in rewriting the narrative! Every donation, every volunteer hour, every item brought with a compassionate heart brings us closer to that $100,000 goal, and closer to warming the hearts of countless seniors, all year round. FINANCIAL WELLNESS PROGRAMS Building a brighter future starts with financial literacy. Through a partnership with the American Bankers Association Foundation, our teammates provide financial wellness programs that reach across generations, touching the lives of children, teens, and even seniors, paving the way for brighter financial futures. • Teach Children to Save (TCTS): 1,254 children, as of December 2023, have learned early lessons in financial responsibility, equipped with the confidence to navigate their future financial journeys. “C&N’s commitment to community is woven into the very core of our being. It’s not confined to financial transactions, but extends into the realm of year-round support and empowerment.”

This dedication shines through in our exciting initiative for 2024: “Safe Banking for Seniors.” Aligning with our core values of customer protection and community support, this program will provide easy-to-use materials and resources to protect and educate senior customers, ensuring their financial security and peace of mind. BUILDING BRIGHTER FUTURES, TOGETHER C&N’s commitment to community is woven into the very core of our being.
