President’s Statement

I am pleased to announce Mid Penn’s financial results for the first quarter of 2014.  The first quarter net income available to common shareholders of $1,424,000 was Mid Penn’s highest first quarter earnings ever and the second highest quarterly earnings figure in our 146-year history.  This represents a significant achievement in Mid Penn’s progress.  As can be seen above, net income available to common shareholders improved 128% for the quarter, versus the comparable quarter last year.  This was driven by increases in both net interest income and noninterest income, as well as a reduction in noninterest expense.  These improvements over the first quarter of 2013 allowed us to absorb an increase in provision for loan and lease losses over the same period last year.  We are encouraged by the first quarter’s financial results and remain focused on quality asset growth, expanding low cost sources of funds, control of operating expenses, and increased noninterest income.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I announce today that Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. is declaring an increased cash dividend of $0.10 per common share based on first quarter earnings.  This is an increase from the $0.05 per common share dividend declared in the first quarter of 2013 and our fourteenth consecutive quarter of paying a cash dividend.  The dividend is payable May 26, 2014 to shareholders of record May 7, 2014.

Management considers subsequent events occurring after the balance sheet date for matters which may require adjustment to, or disclosure in, the consolidated financial statements.  The review period for subsequent events extends up to and including the filing date of a public company’s consolidated financial statements when filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, the financial information in this announcement is subject to change.
