MANSFIELD, Pa., Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Citizens Financial Services, Inc. (OTC Pink: CZFS), parent company of First Citizens Community Bank, released today its unaudited consolidated financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019.

Highlights

  • Citizens Financial Services, Inc. and MidCoast Community Bancorp, Inc. continue to prepare for the merger that is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020.
  • Net income was $19.5 million for 2019, which is 8.1% higher than 2018's net income. The effective tax rate for 2019 was 16.4% compared to 15.9% for 2018 and was impacted by a reduction in tax-exempt income and non-deductible merger and acquisition-related expenses.
  • Net income was $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, which is 11.7% higher than the net income for 2018's comparable period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was 16.6% compared to 15.8% in the comparable period in 2018.
  • Net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $49.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was an increase of $2.8 million, or 5.8%, compared to 2018.
  • Net loan growth totaled $32.7 million in 2019, or 3.1%, while deposit growth was $26.0 million, or 2.2%.
  • Return on average equity for the three months (annualized) and the year ended December 31, 2019 was 13.05% and 13.00%, respectively, compared to 12.65% and 13.00% for the three months (annualized) and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively.
  • Return on average tangible equity for the three months (annualized) and the year ended December 31, 2019 was 15.52% and 15.58%, respectively, compared to 15.33% and 15.87% for the three months (annualized) and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively. (1)
  • Return on average assets for the three months (annualized) and the year ended December 31, 2019 was 1.37% and 1.34%, respectively, compared to 1.27% and 1.29% for the three months (annualized) and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

2019 Compared to 2018

  • For 2019, net income totaled $19,490,000 compared to net income of $18,034,000 for 2018, an increase of $1,456,000 or 8.1%. Basic earnings per share of $5.54 for 2019 compares to $5.09 for 2018. Return on equity for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was 13.00%, while return on assets was 1.34% and 1.29%, respectively.
  • Net interest income before the provision for loan loss for 2019 totaled $49,940,000 compared to $47,184,000 for 2018, resulting in an increase of $2,756,000, or 5.8%. Average interest earning assets increased $52.0 million in 2019 compared to last year. Average loans increased $58.3 million while average investment securities decreased $9.4 million. The yield on interest earning assets increased 21 basis points to 4.59%, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 20 basis points to 1.09%. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was due to the rise in the federal funds rate during 2018, which exceeded the reductions made in 2019. The tax effected net interest margin for 2019 was 3.72% compared to 3.66% for 2018.
  • The provision for loan losses for 2019 was $1,675,000 compared to $1,925,000 for 2018, a decrease of $250,000. The decreased provision primarily reflects the lower level of loan growth experienced during 2019 compared to 2018.
  • Total non-interest income was $8,386,000 for 2019, which is $651,000 more than non-interest income of $7,735,000 for 2018. The increase was driven by revenue increases in our wealth management division, which includes trust fees and brokerage and insurance commissions, as well as gains on our equity security portfolio and loans sold.
  • Total non-interest expenses for 2019 totaled $33,341,000 compared to $31,557,000 for the same period last year, which is an increase of $1,784,000, or 5.7%. Salaries and benefits increased $1,362,000 primarily due to merit increases, employee commissions, health insurance costs, profit sharing and deferred compensation costs. Other expenses increased $460,000, which was primarily due to an increase in costs associated with operational charge-offs and fraud prevention. Merger and acquisition costs increased $466,000 as a result of the pending merger with MidCoast Community Bancorp, Inc. OREO expenses increased due to an increase in the number of OREO properties currently held by the Bank. Professional fees decreased as a result of settling a lawsuit in the first quarter of 2019 that resulted in significant expenses in 2018. FDIC insurance decreased due to receiving a credit from the FDIC in the third and fourth quarters.
  • The provision for income taxes increased $417,000 when comparing 2019 to 2018 as a result of an increase in income before income tax of $1,873,000. The effective tax rate for 2019 was impacted by certain expenses being non-deductible for tax purposes.

Fourth Quarter of 2019 Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2018

  • For the three months ended December 31, 2019, net income totaled $5,043,000 which compares to net income of $4,515,000 for the comparable period in 2018, an increase of $528,000 or 11.7%. Basic earnings per share of $1.43 for three months ended December 31, 2019 compares to $1.28 for the 2018 comparable period. Annualized return on equity for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was 13.05% and 12.65%, respectively, while annualized return on assets was 1.37% and 1.27%, respectively.
  • Net interest income before the provision for loan loss for the three months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $12,790,000 compared to $12,243,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, resulting in an increase of $547,000, or 4.5%. Average interest earning assets increased $53.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period last year. Average loans increased $44.0 million while average investment securities increased $10.1 million. The tax effected net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was 3.74% compared to 3.73% for the same period last year.
  • The provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $525,000 compared to $625,000 for the comparable period in 2018, a decrease of $100,000. The decreased provision primarily reflects the lower net loan growth experienced during the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
  • Total non-interest income was $2,149,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, which is $172,000 more than the comparable period last year. The increase was driven by revenue increases in our wealth management division, which includes trust fees and brokerage and insurance commissions, as well as gains on our equity security portfolio and on loans sold.
  • Total non-interest expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $8,368,000 compared to $8,235,000 for the same period last year, which is an increase of $133,000, or 1.6%. Salaries and benefits increased $484,000 primarily due to merit increases, employee commissions, health insurance costs, profit sharing and deferred compensation costs. Merger and acquisition costs increased as a result of the pending merger with MidCoast Community Bancorp, Inc. Professional fees decreased as a result of settling a lawsuit in the first quarter of 2019 that resulted in significant expenses in 2018. FDIC insurance decreased due to receiving a credit from the FDIC in the fourth quarter of 2019.
  • The provision for income taxes increased $158,000 when comparing the three months ended December 31, 2019 to the same period in 2018. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was 16.6% and 15.8%, respectively.

Balance Sheet and Other Information:

  • At December 31, 2019, total assets were $1.47 billion, compared to $1.43 billion at December 31, 2018. The loan to deposit ratio as of December 31, 2019 was 92.11% compared to 91.29% as of December 31, 2018.
  • Available for sale securities of $240.7 million at December 31, 2019 decreased $304,000 from December 31, 2018. Interest bearing time deposits with other banks decreased $1.2 million to $14.3 million at December 31, 2019.
  • Net loans as of December 31, 2019 totaled $1.10 billion and increased $32.7 million from December 31, 2018. Net loan growth for 2019 was negatively impacted by transfers to other real estate owned as the result of a settlement with a customer in bankruptcy and several large loan payoffs. The growth in 2019 was in commercial and agricultural relationships, which continued the trend from 2018.
  • The allowance for loan losses totaled $13,845,000 at December 31, 2019 which is an increase of $961,000 from December 31, 2018. The increase is due to recording a provision for loan losses of $1,625,000 and recoveries of $43,000, offset by charge-offs of $757,000. Net charge-offs as a percent of total loans for 2019 and 2018 was .06% and .02%, respectively. The allowance as a percent of total loans was 1.24% as of December 31, 2019 compared to 1.19% as of December 31, 2018. For the year, non-performing assets increased $1.0 million.
  • Deposits increased $26.0 million from December 31, 2018, to $1.21 billion at December 31, 2019 as a result of growth in our south central Pennsylvania market. Borrowed funds decreased $6.1 million from December 31, 2018 to $85.1 million at December 31, 2019 as a result of the growth in deposits and equity.
  • Stockholders' equity totaled $154.8 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $139.2 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $15,545,000. The increase was attributable to net income of $19.5 million for 2019, offset by cash dividends of $6.3 million and net treasury stock activity of $845,000. As a result of changes in interest rates impacting the fair value of investment securities, the unrealized loss on available for sale investment securities, net of tax, increased $3.3 million from December 31, 2018.

Dividend Declared

On December 3, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.450 per share, which was paid on December 27, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 13, 2019. The quarterly cash dividend is an increase of 3.3% over the regular cash dividend of $0.436 per share declared one year ago, as adjusted for the 1% stock dividend declared in June 2019.
