Current report

Non-interest expense was $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $343,000, or 6.7%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Most significantly impacting non-interest expense in the comparative three month periods was an increase of $328,000 in employee compensation expense. Also contributing to the increase in non-interest expense between the comparative three month periods was an increase of $161,000 in other non-interest expense primarily due to an increase of $80,000 in expenses associated with the changes to the wealth management department, as well as an increase in $39,000 to the provision for unfunded commitments. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $79,000 in employee benefits expense due to a decline in medical claims expense in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Current report

As a percentage of average assets, annualized non-interest expense was 2.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Most significantly impacting the comparative nine month periods was an increase of $100,000 in customer service fees in the 2025 period, which was partially offset by a decrease of $79,000 in commissions from sales of non-deposit products in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to the transition to a new wealth management business model in 2025.

Partially offsetting these declines were increases of $31,000 in the change in value of equity securities and $44,000 in other non-interest income primarily due to recording an IRS refund and an increase in online banking fees in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Partially offsetting this decline were increases of $57,000 in taxes, other than income, due to an increase in Pennsylvania Shares Tax expense and $176,000 in other non-interest expense due primarily to an increase in the provision for unfunded commitments in the three months ended June 30, 2025.
