SCRANTON, Pa., Jan. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Peoples Financial Services Corp. ("Peoples") (NASDAQ: PFIS), the bank holding company for Peoples Security Bank and Trust Company, today reported unaudited financial results at and for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016.  Peoples reported net income of $4.7 million, or $0.64 per share for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $5.1 million, or $0.69 per share in the third quarter of 2016 and $3.8 million, or $0.52 per share in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Core net income, excluding net gains on sale of investment securities available-for-sale, net of tax for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $4.7 million, a $1.0 million increase from $3.7 million for the same period in 2015. Core net income per share for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $0.64, compared to $0.50 for the same period in 2015.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016, totaled $19.6 million or $2.65 per share compared to $17.7 million or $2.36 per share for 2015.

Core net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $19.2 million, an increase of 13.1% from $17.0 million for 2015. Core net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $2.59, an increase from $2.26 for 2015. The results for the year ended December 31, 2016 include net gains on sale of investment securities of $0.6 million compared to $1.2 million in 2015.

In addition to evaluating its results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), Peoples routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as tangible stockholders' equity and core net income ratios. The reported results for 2016 and 2015 included herein contain items which Peoples considers non-core, namely net gains on sales of investment securities available-for-sale. Peoples believes the reported non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding its operating performance and trends. Where non-GAAP disclosures are used in this press release, a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure is provided in the accompanying tables. The non-GAAP financial measures Peoples uses may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures of other financial institutions.

INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

The tax-equivalent net interest margins for the three and twelve months ended December 31, were 3.67% and 3.77% in 2016, compared to 3.79% and 3.81% in 2015, respectively. Loan accretion included in loan interest income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2016 was $88 thousand and $649 thousand, resulting in an increase in the tax-equivalent net interest margin of 2 basis points and 4 basis points for the respective periods. Comparatively, loan accretion included in loan interest income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $190 thousand and $665 thousand, resulting in an increase in the tax-equivalent net interest margin of 5 basis points and 4 basis points for the respective periods.

Tax-equivalent net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, increased $5.1 million to $65.2 million in 2016 from $60.1 million in 2015. The increase in tax equivalent net interest income was primarily due to a $152.3 million increase in average interest-bearing assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015. The tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio decreased to 4.43% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 compared to 4.59% for the comparable period in 2015. Loans, net averaged $1.5 billion in 2016 and $1.3 billion in 2015. For the twelve months ended December 31, the tax-equivalent yield on total investments increased to 2.89% in 2016 from 2.71% in 2015. Average investments totaled $271.3 million in 2016 and $311.2 million in 2015. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $138.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, compared to the corresponding period last year. The cost of funds increased to 0.55% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 from 0.51% for the same period of 2015. Tax-equivalent net interest income for the three months ended December 31, increased to $16.6 million in 2016 from $15.4 million in 2015.

The provision for loan losses totaled $5.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $3.7 million for the same period last year. For the quarter ended December 31, the provision for loan losses was $1.4 million in 2016 and $1.3 million in 2015. The increase in the provision for loan losses in 2016 was primarily the result of increased loan growth as well as an increase in loan balances charged off during the fourth quarter of 2016.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, noninterest income totaled $15.9 million and $15.7 million. Net gains on sale of investment securities were $0.6 million in 2016 compared to $1.2 million in 2015. Increases in revenues from merchant services, income from fiduciary activities, wealth management services, income from mortgage banking activities and life insurance investment income offset decreases in service charges, fees and commissions. For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, noninterest income totaled $3.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively. No gain or loss from the sale of investment securities available-for-sale was recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2016; a gain from the sale of investment securities of $210 thousand was recognized during the corresponding period last year.

Noninterest expense increased $1.2 million or 2.7% to $48.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, from $46.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The buildout of our expansion plan, wealth management platform as well as severance costs led to increases in salaries and employee benefit expense. For the fourth quarter, noninterest expense amounted to $12.3 million in 2016 and $12.5 million in 2015, a decrease of $0.2 million or 1.5%.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

At December 31, 2016, total assets, loans and deposits were $2.0 billion, $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. Loans, net grew $192.1 million or 14.3% from December 31, 2015 to 2016.

Safe Harbor Forward-Looking Statements:

We make statements in this press release, and we may from time to time make other statements regarding our outlook or expectations for future financial or operating results and/or other matters regarding or affecting Peoples Financial Services Corp., Peoples Security Bank and Trust Company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Peoples") that are considered "forward-looking statements" as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of such words as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "should," "planned," "estimated," "intend" and "potential." For these statements, Peoples claims the protection of the statutory safe harbors for forward-looking statements.

Peoples cautions you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include, but are not limited to: prevailing economic and political conditions, particularly in our market area; credit risk associated with our lending activities; changes in interest rates, loan demand, real estate values and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, and guidelines; changes in any applicable law, rule, regulation or practice with respect to tax or legal issues; our ability to identify and address cyber-security risks and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting Peoples' operations, pricing, products and services and other factors that may be described in Peoples' Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

In addition to these risks, acquisitions and business combinations, present risks other than those presented by the nature of the business acquired. Acquisitions and business combinations may be substantially more expensive to complete than originally anticipated, and the anticipated benefits may be significantly harder-or take longer-to achieve than expected. As regulated financial institutions, our pursuit of attractive acquisition and business combination opportunities could be negatively impacted by regulatory delays or other regulatory issues. Regulatory and/or legal issues related to the pre-acquisition operations of an acquired or combined business may cause reputational harm to Peoples following the acquisition or combination, and integration of the acquired or combined business with ours may result in additional future costs arising as a result of those issues.

The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release, and, except as may be required by applicable law or regulation, Peoples assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
