• Noninterest income / fee businesses — Noninterest income was $13.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, including record quarterly wealth management revenue. First-quarter 2026 noninterest income of $15.6 million included $2.4 million of life insurance policy death benefits.

Recent performance

Second-quarter 2026 net income was $21.2 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, compared to $21.8 million and $19.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 and second quarter of 2025, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income was $43.0 million, or $2.21 per diluted share, versus $37.5 million and $1.94 for the comparable 2025 period. Return on average assets was 1.53% and return on average equity was 13.96% for the second quarter of 2026. Total loans increased $51.7 million, or roughly 5% annualized, during the quarter; nonaccrual loans fell to 0.58% of total loans at June 30, 2026 from 0.74% at March 31, 2026. Tangible book value per common share rose to $26.71 from $25.76 at March 31, 2026, and the board declared a $0.30 per common share dividend payable August 11, 2026.

Strategy

Management describes the focus as managing funding costs to expand the core net interest margin while redeeming higher-cost subordinated notes to improve future performance. The Company redeemed $31.0 million of subordinated notes on June 30, 2026, amortizing the remaining $1.6 million fair value mark through interest expense in the second quarter. It also purchased federal income tax credits that resulted in a $1.6 million income tax benefit in the quarter. The Codorus Valley merger, valued at $233.4 million and completed July 1, 2024, expanded the footprint into York, Pennsylvania; merger-related expenses were $2.6 million in 2025 and none in the first half of 2026. Management states it expects to continue building capital ratios through earnings generation on the strength of a diversified revenue base.

Risks

• Economic and market conditions — The 10-K states that unfavorable or uncertain economic conditions, including inflation, interest rate volatility, supply chain disruptions and changes in trade or fiscal policy, can materially and adversely affect the Company.
• Interest rate and margin risk — Net interest margin fell to 3.87% in the second quarter of 2026 from 3.90% in the first quarter, and management ties performance to effectively managing funding costs.
• Credit quality — Nonaccrual loans were 0.58% of total loans at June 30, 2026, and classified loans decreased $8.4 million during the quarter; the 10-K identifies changes in credit quality as a risk factor.
• Merger and acquisition integration and accounting — The Company incurred $2.6 million of merger-related expenses in 2025 and recorded a $15.5 million provision for non-PCD loans in 2024; business combination fair value estimates involve significant estimation and uncertainty.

Outlook

CEO Adam L. Metz stated the core net interest margin expanded during the second quarter as funding costs were managed, and that the subordinated note redemption is expected to enhance future performance. Management cited a strong credit risk profile and indicated it expects to continue building capital ratios at a healthy pace through earnings generation. The Company describes itself as positioned to build on second-quarter success in the second half of 2026 and beyond.
