      MANSFIELD, Pa., April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Citizens Financial Services, Inc (Nasdaq: CZFS), parent company of First Citizens Community Bank (the "Bank"), released today its unaudited consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

      Highlights

      • Net income was $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which is 8.5% more than the net income for 2024's comparable period. The increase was driven by the increase in net interest income before the provision for credit losses of $2.0 million offset by the gain on the sale of a division known as Braavo and Bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) death benefits received in 2024. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 18.7% compared to 17.4% in the comparable period in 2024, with the increase due to a decrease in earnings on BOLI due to the passing of a former executive in 2024 and a decrease in the benefit of investments in low-income housing partnerships.

      • Net interest income before the provision for credit losses was $23.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $2,044,000, or 9.8%, over the same period a year ago and was primarily due to an increase in investment income and a decrease in interest expense on borrowings.

      • Return on average equity for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2025 was 10.00% compared to 9.95% for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2024. If the net impact of the Braavo transaction is excluded from 2024, the return on average equity for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2024 was 9.69% (non-GAAP). (1)

      • Return on average tangible equity for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2025 was 14.09% compared to 14.55% for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2024 (non-GAAP). (1)

      • Return on average assets for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2025 was 1.00% compared to 0.94% for the three months (annualized) ended March 31, 2024.

      • Non-performing assets decreased $1,130,000 since December 31, 2024 and totaled $27,482,000 as of March 31, 2025, which is $11,769,000 higher than the balance as of March 31, 2024. The increase from March 31, 2024 is due to loans acquired as part of the HVB acquisition. The Bank's strategy during 2024 for certain acquired loans was to either improve the credit metrics of the non-performing loans or have the customers refinance the loans with another institution or sell the underlying collateral. The decrease since December reflects two large relationships being placed back on accrual status due to making consistent payments for at least six months. As a percent of loans, non-performing assets totaled 1.19%, 1.24% and 0.70% as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. While non-performing assets have increased significantly as of March 31, 2025 when compared to March 31, 2024, specific reserves for these assets have decreased from $1,987,000 to $1,603,000. The specific reserve for March 31, 2024 included $723,000 for loans that were secured by inventory that were charged-off in 2024.

      First Quarter of 2025 Compared to the First Quarter of 2024

      • For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net income totaled $7,621,000 which compares to net income of $7,024,000 for the comparable period of 2024, an increase of $597,000 or 8.5%. Basic earnings per share of $1.60 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compares to $1.48 for the 2024 comparable period. Annualized return on equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 10.00% and 9.95%, while annualized return on assets was 1.00% and 0.94%, respectively.

      • Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $23,002,000 compared to $20,958,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in an increase of $2,044,000, or 9.8%. Average interest earning assets increased $58.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the HVB acquisition. Average loans increased $49.0 million, while average investment securities increased $15.2 million. The tax effected net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 3.30% compared to 3.05% for the same period last year. The yield on interest earning assets increased eight basis points to 5.57%, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased nine basis points to 2.80%.

      • The provision for the first quarter of 2025 of $625,000 was driven by the annual update of loss drivers, which includes historical loss data, as well as prepayment and curtailment speeds compared to $785,000 for the first quarter of 2024, which was driven by the annual updates for 2024 as well as provision for Braavo-related loans that were not sold.

      • Total non-interest income was $3,427,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, $1,544,000 less than the comparable period last year. The primary drivers of the decrease were the gain on the sale of assets associated with Braavo and BOLI death benefits received in 2024. Additionally due to the interest rate environment, gains on the sale of loans is lower in 2025 than 2024.

      • Total non-interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $16,428,000 compared to $16,643,000 for the same period last year, which is a decrease of $215,000, or 1.3%. Professional fees decreased due to the legal fees associated with the sale of certain Braavo assets during 2024. ORE expenses increased due to the gain on the sale of an ORE property recorded in 2024.

      • The provision for income taxes increased $278,000 when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the same period in 2024. This increase was attributable to increase in income before provision for income taxes of $875,000 and death benefits received upon the passing of a former employees in 2024 that are not subject to income tax. The effective tax rate was 18.7% and 17.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

      • At March 31, 2025, total assets were $3.02 billion compared to $3.03 billion at December 31, 2024 and $2.92 billion at March 31, 2024. The loan to deposit ratio as of March 31, 2025 was 97.92% compared to 97.11% as of December 31, 2024 and 97.25% as of March 31, 2024.

The yield on the investment portfolio increased from 2.29% to 2.85% on a tax equivalent basis due to securities purchased during a higher rate environment and lower yielding securities maturing. Investment activity for 2025 has focused on replacing securities as they mature.

      • Net loans totaled $2.29 billion at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. In comparison to March 31, 2024, loans have grown $75.5 million due to an increase in outstanding student loans.
