- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
AmeriServ Financial, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding company, headquartered in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Through its banking subsidiary, the Company operates 16 banking locations infive southwestern Pennsylvania counties and Hagerstown, Maryland. These branches provide a full range of consumer, mortgage, and commercial financial products and wealth management services.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmeriServ Financial, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, AmeriServ Financial Bank (the Bank). The Bank is a Pennsylvania state-chartered full-service bank with 15 locations in Pennsylvania and 1 location in Maryland. Through its AmeriServ Wealth and Capital Management Division, the Bank offers a complete range of trust and financial services and administers assets valued at approximately $2.7 billion and $2.6 billion that are not reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. AmeriServ Wealth Advisors, Inc., an SEC-registered investment advisor, is a subsidiary of the Bank.
In addition, the Parent Company is an administrative group that provides support in such areas as audit, finance, investments, loan review, general services, and marketing. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates and the differences may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to the allowance for credit losses (related to investment securities, loans, and unfunded commitments), pension, and derivatives (interest rate swaps/hedges).
OPERATING SEGMENTS
While the chief decision-maker monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed, and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Discrete financial information is not available other than on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated inone reportable operating segment. Segment reporting is described further in Note 21.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Securities are classified at the time of purchase as investment securities held to maturity if it is management’s intent and the Company has the ability to hold the securities until maturity. These held to maturity securities are carried on the Company’s books at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount which is computed using the level yield method which approximates the effective interest method. Alternatively, securities are classified as available for sale if it is management’s intent at the time of purchase to hold the securities for an indefinite period of time and/or to use the securities as part of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy. Securities classified as available for sale include securities which may be sold to effectively manage interest rate risk exposure, prepayment risk, and other factors (such as liquidity requirements). These available for sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized aggregate appreciation/depreciation excluded from income and credited/charged to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity on a net of tax basis. Realized gains or losses on securities sold are computed upon the adjusted cost of the specific securities sold.
Securities classified as trading assets are purchased with the intent of selling them in the near term (less than 30 days) to generate profits from short-term changes in price. Trading securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income. The Company participates in limited trading activity. Specifically, during 2025, the Company established a $7.0 million investment trading account which is managed by an outside third party. The trading account is invested in U.S. Treasury and municipal securities. As of December 31, 2025, there was $99,000 of cash held
in the account available for future trading security purchases. This cash balance is included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Additionally, the Company holds equity securities which are comprised of mutual funds held within a rabbi trust for the executive deferred compensation plan and ordinary shares issued by a borrower in satisfaction of debt previously contracted. The deferred compensation plan equity securities are reported at fair value within other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings. The ordinary shares issued in satisfaction of debt previously contracted do not have a readily determinable fair value. Therefore, they are reported at cost within other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are adjusted when observable price changes are identified or an impairment charge is recognized.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Held to Maturity Securities
The Company measures expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities, which are comprised of U.S. government agency and mortgage-backed securities as well as municipal, corporate, and other bonds. The Company’s agency and mortgage-backed securities are issued by U.S. government entities and agencies and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies, and have a long history ofno credit losses. As such, no allowance for credit losses has been established for these securities. The allowance for credit losses on the municipal, corporate, and other bonds within the held to maturity securities portfolio is calculated using the probability of default/loss given default (PD/LGD) method. The calculation is completed on a quarterly basis using the default studies provided by an industry leading source. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for credit losses on the held to maturity securities portfolio totaled $90,000 and $89,000, respectively.
The allowance for credit losses on held to maturity debt securities is included within investment securities held to maturity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded within provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Accrued interest receivable on held to maturity debt securities totaled $384,000 and $403,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included within accrued interest income receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. Held to maturity debt securities are typically classified as non-accrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest. When held to maturity debt securities are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. The Company hadno held to maturity debt securities in non-accrual status or past due over 90 days still accruing interest at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Available for Sale Securities
The Company measures expected credit losses on available for sale debt securities when the Company does not intend to sell, or when it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available for sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this evaluation indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, equal to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. At times, based on management judgment, the Company may establish an allowance for credit losses in excess of the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis based on specific circumstances surrounding the security. At December 31, 2025, the Company hadno allowance for credit losses on the available for sale securities portfolio compared to an allowance totaling $360,000 at December 31, 2024.
The allowance for credit losses on available for sale debt securities is included within investment securities available for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded within provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Losses are charged against the allowance when the Company believes the collectability of an available for sale security is in jeopardy or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt securities totaled $977,000 and $833,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included within accrued interest income receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. Available for sale debt securities are typically classified as non-accrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest. When available for sale debt securities are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. It should be noted that the Company hadno available for sale debt securities in non-accrual status at December 31, 2025 due to the third quarter 2025 charge-off of a non-performing security totaling $1.0 million against a previously established allowance for credit losses. This is compared toone available for sale debt security in non-accrual status at December 31, 2024 totaling $1.0 million with an associated allowance for credit losses of $360,000. When this corporate security was transferred to non-accrual status, interest income from investments was unfavorably impacted due to the reversal of previously recognized income. Specifically, unpaid interest on this security which was reversed totaled $84,000 in 2024.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK
The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB), and as such, is required to maintain a minimum investment in stock of the FHLB that varies with the level of advances outstanding with the FHLB. The stock is bought from and sold to the FHLB based upon its $100 par value. The stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and as such is classified as restricted stock, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment by management. The stock’s value is determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines. The determination of whether the par value will ultimately be recovered is influenced by criteria such as the following: (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount and the length of time any such situation has persisted; (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance; (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLB; and (4) the liquidity position of the FHLB. Management evaluated the stock and concluded that the stock was not impaired for the periods presented herein.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Certain newly originated residential mortgage loans are classified as held for sale, because it is management’s intent to sell these residential mortgage loans. The residential mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value.
LOANS
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of any deferred fees or costs and an allowance for credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance and is recognized using the level yield method. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $4.2 million, which is reported in accrued interest income receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
The Company typically discontinues the accrual of interest income when loans become 90 days past due in either principal or interest. In addition, if circumstances warrant, the accrual of interest may be discontinued prior to 90 days. Payments received on non-accrual loans are credited to principal until full recovery of principal has been recognized or the loan has been returned to accrual status. The only exception to this policy is for residential mortgage loans wherein interest income is recognized on a cash basis as payments are received. Generally, a non-accrual commercial or
consumer loan is returned to accrual status after becoming current and remaining current for twelve consecutive payments. Residential mortgage loans are typically returned to accrual status upon becoming current.
LOAN FEES
Loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) over the contractual life of the loan.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES – LOANS
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) is a valuation reserve established and maintained by charges against income and is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the ACL when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.
The ACL is an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of a loan, which considers our historical loss experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Determination of an appropriate ACL is inherently subjective and may have significant changes from period to period. The methodology for determining the ACL has two main components: evaluation of expected credit losses for certain groups of homogeneous loans that share similar risk characteristics and evaluation of loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans.
The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has aligned our segmentation to the quarterly Call Report. This allowed the Company to use not only our data but also peer institutions’ data to supplement loss observations in determining our qualitative adjustments. Some further sub-segmenting was performed on the commercial and industrial (C&I) and commercial real estate (CRE) portfolios based on collateral type. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments:
| ● | Commercial Real Estate Owner Occupied |
| ● | Commercial and Industrial |
| ● | Commercial Real Estate Non-Owner Occupied – Retail |
| ● | Commercial Real Estate Non-Owner Occupied – Multi-Family |
| ● | Commercial Real Estate Non-Owner Occupied – Other |
| ● | Residential Mortgages |
| ● | Consumer |
The Company is utilizing the static pool analysis (cohort) method for our current expected credit losses (CECL) model. The static pool analysis methodology captures loans that qualify for a segment (i.e. balance of a pool of loans with similar risk characteristics) as of a point in time to form a cohort, then tracks that cohort over their remaining lives to determine their loss behavior. The remaining lifetime loss rate is then applied to current loans that qualify for the same segmentation criteria to form a remaining life expectation on current loans. Once historical cohorts are established, the loans in each individual cohort are tracked over their remaining lives for loss and recovery events. Each cohort is evaluated individually, and as a result, a loss may be counted in several different quarterly cohort periods, as long as the specific loan existed in the population of each of those cohort periods.
Historical credit loss experience is the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. The Company applies historical loss rates to pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. After consideration of the historic loss calculation, management applies qualitative adjustments to reflect the current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts not already captured in the historical loss information at the balance sheet date. Our reasonable and supportable forecast adjustment is based on a blend of peer and Company data as well as management judgment. Including peer data addresses the Company’s lack of loss history in some pools of loans. For periods beyond our reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years, loss expectations revert to the long-run historical mean. The qualitative adjustments for current conditions are based upon the following factors:
| ● | changes in lending policies and procedures; |
| ● | changes in economic conditions; |
| ● | changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio; |
| ● | staff experience; |
| ● | changes in volume and severity of delinquency, non-performing loans, and classified loans; |
| ● | changes in the quality of the Company’s loan review system; |
| ● | trends in underlying collateral value; |
| ● | concentration risk; and |
| ● | external factors: competition, legal, regulatory. |
These modified historical loss rates are multiplied by the outstanding principal balance of each loan to calculate a required reserve. Ultimately,41% of the fourth quarter of 2025 general reserve represented qualitative adjustment with 59% representing quantitative reserve.
In accordance with ASC 326,Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, the Company will evaluate individual loans for expected credit losses when those loans do not share similar risk characteristics with loans evaluated using a collective (pooled) basis. In contrast to legacy accounting standards, this criterion is broader than the impairment concept and management may evaluate loans individually even when no specific expectation of collectability is in place. Loans will not be included in both collective and individual analysis. The individual analysis will establish a specific reserve for loans in scope. It should be noted that there is a review threshold of $150,000 or more for loans being subject to individual evaluation within the consumer and residential mortgage segments.
Specific reserves are established based on the following three acceptable methods for measuring the ACL: 1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate; 2) the loan’s observable market price; or 3) the fair value of the collateral when the loan is collateral dependent. The method is selected on a loan-by-loan basis, with management primarily utilizing either the discounted cash flows or the fair value of collateral methods. The evaluation of the need and amount of a specific allocation of the allowance is made on a quarterly basis.
The need for an updated appraisal on collateral dependent loans is determined on a case-by-case basis. The useful life of an appraisal or evaluation will vary depending upon the circumstances of the property and the economic conditions in the marketplace. A new appraisal is not required if there is an existing appraisal which, along with other information, is sufficient to determine a reasonable value for the property and to support an appropriate and adequate allowance for credit losses. At a minimum, annual documented reevaluation of the property is completed by the Bank’s internal Collections and Assigned Risk Department to support the value of the property.
When reviewing an appraisal associated with an existing real estate collateral dependent transaction, the Bank’s Chief Credit Officer must determine if there have been material changes to the underlying assumptions in the appraisal which affect the original estimate of value. Some of the factors that could cause material changes to reported values include:
| ● | the passage of time; |
| ● | the volatility of the local market; |
| ● | the availability of financing; |
| ● | natural disasters; |
| ● | the inventory of competing properties; |
| ● | new improvements to, or lack of maintenance of, the subject property or competing properties upon physical inspection by the Bank; |
| ● | changes in underlying economic and market assumptions, such as material changes in current and projected vacancy, absorption rates, capitalization rates, lease terms, rental rates, sales prices, concessions, construction overruns and delays, zoning changes, etc.; and/or |
| ● | environmental contamination. |
The value of the property is adjusted to appropriately reflect the above listed factors and the value is discounted to reflect the value impact of a forced or distressed sale, any outstanding senior liens, any outstanding unpaid real estate taxes, transfer taxes and closing costs that would occur with sale of the real estate. If the Chief Credit Officer determines that a reasonable value cannot be derived based on available information, a new appraisal is ordered. The determination of the need for a new appraisal, versus completion of a property valuation by the Bank’s Collections and Assigned Risk Department personnel, rests with the Chief Credit Officer and not the originating account officer.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES – UNFUNDED LOAN COMMITMENTS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT
The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which it is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancelable. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through the provision for credit losses line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The carrying amount of the allowance for credit losses for the Company’s obligations related to unfunded commitments and standby letters of credit is reported in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company; (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets; and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Land is carried at cost. Depreciation is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the premises and equipment using the straight-line method. Useful lives of up to 30 years for buildings and up to 10 years for equipment are utilized. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective leases or useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Maintenance, repairs, and minor alterations are charged to current operations as expenditures are incurred.
LEASES
The Company has operating and financing leases for several office locations and equipment. Generally, the underlying lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Many of our leases include both lease (e.g., minimum rent payments) and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges, utilities, real estate taxes, and insurance. The Company has elected to account for the variable non-lease components separately from the lease component. Such variable non-lease components are reported in net occupancy expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when incurred. These variable non-lease components were excluded from the calculation of the present value of the remaining lease payments; therefore, they are not included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Certain of the Company’s leases contain options to renew the lease after the initial term. Management considers the Company’s historical pattern of exercising renewal options on leases and the performance of the leased locations when determining whether it is reasonably certain that the leases will be renewed. If management concludes that there is reasonable certainty about the renewal option, it is included in the calculation of the remaining term of each applicable lease. The discount rate utilized in calculating the present value of the remaining lease payments for each lease is the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh advance rate corresponding to the remaining maturity of the lease.
Under ASC 842, the lessee can elect to not record on the Consolidated Balance Sheets a lease whose term is twelve months or less and does not include a purchase option that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no short-term leases.
BANK-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE
The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain current and previous employees. These policies are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized. Income from these policies and changes in the cash surrender value are recorded in bank owned life insurance within non-interest income. Additionally, income is accrued on certain policies that have reached the minimum floor rate of return. This guaranteed portion of income is not added to the cash surrender value of the policy until the policy anniversary date and is reported in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible elements in the business acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is periodically evaluated for impairment. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis. This approach could cause more volatility in the Company’s reported net income because impairment losses, if any, could occur irregularly and in varying amounts.
Identifiable intangible assets are amortized to their estimated residual values over their expected useful lives. Such lives are also periodically reassessed to determine if any amortization period adjustments are required. The identifiable intangible assets consist of a core deposit intangible which is being amortized on an accelerated basis over aten-year useful life.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per share include only the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include the weighted average common shares outstanding and any potentially dilutive common stock equivalent shares in the calculation. Treasury shares are excluded for earnings per share purposes. Options to purchase 166,000 and 194,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during 2025 and 2024, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Exercise prices of anti-dilutive options to purchase common stock outstanding were $2.96 to $4.22 during 2025 and 2024.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company uses the modified prospective method for accounting of stock-based compensation. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model and the expense is recognized ratably over the service period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. See Note 17 for details on the assumptions used.
ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
The Company presents the components of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. These components are comprised of the change in the defined benefit pension obligation, the unrealized holding gains (losses) on available for sale securities, net of any reclassification adjustments for realized gains and losses, and fair value change for the interest rate hedges, net of any reclassification adjustments for reduction of interest expense.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
On a consolidated basis, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from depository institutions, interest bearing deposits, and short-term investments in both money market funds and commercial paper. The Company made $325,000 in income tax payments during 2025 compared to receiving a $1.1 million income tax refund in 2024. The Company made total interest payments of $28.5 million in 2025 compared to $30.8 million in 2024. The Company had non-cash transfers to other real estate owned (OREO) and repossessed assets of $49,000 in 2025 and $1.9 million in 2024. During 2025, the Company entered into a new operating lease related to an office location and recorded a right-of-useasset and lease liability of $32,000. During 2024, the Company entered into a new operating lease related to an office location and recorded a right-of-useasset and lease liability of $1.1 million. Additionally, during 2024, the Company entered intotwo new financing leases related to an office location and equipment and recorded a right-of-useasset and lease liability of $298,000. The execution of these new leases was partially offset by the termination oftwo financing leases related to an office location and equipment which led to thewrite-off of $141,000 of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities during 2024.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the corresponding asset or liability from period to period. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by the amounts of such benefits that are not expected to be realized based upon available evidence.
INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS
The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. Changes in fair value of derivatives designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of deferred taxes and are subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness would be recognized in the income statement line item pertaining to the hedged item.
The Company periodically enters into derivative instruments to meet the financing, interest rate and equity risk management needs of its customers or the Bank. Upon entering into these instruments to meet customer needs, the Company enters into offsetting positions to minimize interest rate and equity risk to the Company. These derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value with any resulting gain or loss recorded in current period earnings in amounts that offset. These instruments and their offsetting positions are recorded in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
PENSION
Pension costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, benefits earned, interest costs, expected return on plan assets, mortality rates, and other factors. In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized expense and the recorded obligation of future periods. While management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in
assumptions may affect the Company’s pension obligations and future expense. Additionally, pension expense can also be impacted by settlement accounting charges if the amount of employee selected lump sum distributions exceed the total amount of service and interest component costs of the net periodic pension (benefit) cost in a particular year.
The service cost component of net periodic pension (benefit) cost is determined by aggregating the product of the discounted cash flows of the plan’s service cost for each year and an individual spot rate (referred to as the “spot rate” approach). The interest cost component is determined by aggregating the product of the discounted cash flows of the plan’s projected benefit obligations for each year and an individual spot rate. Management believes this methodology is an appropriate measure of the service cost and interest cost as each year’s cash flows are specifically linked to the interest rates of bond payments in the same respective year. The Company’s pension benefits are described further in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company groups its assets at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level I — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level II — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level III — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset.
Fair values are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy in generally accepted accounting principles.
- ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides for improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has provided income tax disclosures in Note 14 – Income Taxes as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
- REVENUE RECOGNITION
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, requires the Company to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at the time the transfer of goods or services takes place. Management determined that the primary sources of revenue associated with financial instruments, including interest and fee income on loans and interest on investments, along with certain non-interest revenue sources including net realized gains (losses) on investment securities, mortgage banking revenue, and bank owned life insurance are not within the scope of Topic 606. These sources of revenue cumulatively comprise 83.4% of the total gross revenue of the Company.
Non-interest income within the scope of Topic 606 is as follows:
| ● | Wealth management fees – Wealth management fee income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and customer investment portfolios. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over a period of time, and the resulting fees are billed monthly or quarterly, |
based upon the month end market value of the assets under management. Payment is generally received after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. Due to this delay in payment, a receivable of $850,000 was established as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in order to properly recognize the revenue earned but not yet received. Other performance obligations (such as delivery of account statements to customers) are generally considered immaterial to the overall transactions’ price. Commissions on transactions are recognized on a trade-date basis as the performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time in which the trade is processed. Also included within wealth management fees are commissions from the sale of mutual funds, annuities, and life insurance products. Commissions on the sale of mutual funds, annuities, and life insurance products are recognized when sold, which is when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation.
| ● | Service charges on deposit accounts – The Company has contracts with its deposit account customers where fees are charged for certain items or services. Service charges include account analysis fees, monthly service fees, overdraft fees, and other deposit account related fees. Revenue related to account analysis fees and service fees is recognized on a monthly basis as the Company has an unconditional right to the fee consideration. Fees attributable to specific performance obligations of the Company (i.e. overdraft fees, etc.) are recognized at a defined point in time based on completion of the requested service or transaction. |
| ● | Other non-interest income – Other non-interest income consists of other recurring revenue streams such as safe deposit box rental fees, gain (loss) on sale of other real estate owned, ATM and VISA debit card fees, and other miscellaneous revenue streams. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized when billed. However, if the safe deposit box rental fee is prepaid (i.e. paid prior to issuance of the annual bill), the revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company has determined that since rentals and renewals occur consistently over time, revenue is recognized on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation. Gains and losses on the sale of other real estate owned are recognized at the completion of the property sale when the buyer obtains control of the real estate and all the performance obligations of the Company have been satisfied. The Company offers ATM and VISA debit cards to deposit account holders, which allows our customers to access their accounts electronically at ATMs and POS terminals. Fees related to ATM and VISA debit card transactions are recognized when the transactions are completed and the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. |

The Company and its subsidiary, collectively, did not hold securities of any single issuer, excluding U.S. agencies, that exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2025. Management conducted a review of the investment
securities portfolio in order to identify exposures to issuers within foreign countries experiencing significant economic, fiscal, and/or political strains. Given the instability and continuing conflict between Israel and other Middle East nations, the nation of Israel has been identified by management as significantly strained. At December 31, 2025, the Company had a State of Israel Jubilee bond within the held to maturity portfolio with an amortized cost of $1.0 million and a fair value of $980,000. The 3-year bond was purchased prior to the start of the conflicts and is set to mature in August 2026.
The Company recognizedno gross investment security gains or losses in 2025 and 2024. The Company soldno available for sale (AFS) securities during 2025 while the proceeds from the sale of AFS securities totaled $935,000 for 2024. The Company had established an allowance for credit losses on one of the AFS securities sold during 2024. In accordance with ASC 326,Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, once the Company decided to sell the security (i.e. intent to sell), the security was charged down, against the allowance, to fair value therefore resulting in the recognition ofno gain or loss.
The carrying value of securities, both available for sale and held to maturity, pledged to secure public and trust deposits was $142.7 million at December 31, 2025 and $125.8 million at December 31, 2024. In addition, the Company has pledged $3.8 million of available for sale securities as collateral for a revolving line of credit from an unrelated financial institution.
The interest rate environment and market yields can have a significant impact on the yield earned on mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Prepayment speed assumptions are an important factor to consider when evaluating the returns on an MBS. Generally, as interest rates decline, borrowers have more incentive to refinance into a lower rate, so prepayments will rise. Conversely, as interest rates increase, prepayments will decline. When an MBS is purchased at a premium, the yield will decrease as prepayments increase and the yield will increase as prepayments decrease. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had low premium risk as the book value of our mortgage-backed securities purchased at a premium was only 100.6% of the par value.
The Company’s consolidated investment securities portfolio had an effective duration of approximately 3.76 years. The weighted average expected maturity for available for sale securities at December 31, 2025 for U.S. agency, U.S. agency mortgage-backed, corporate bond, and municipal securities was 5.06,7.60,4.14, and 5.19 years, respectively. The weighted average expected maturity for held to maturity securities at December 31, 2025 for U.S. agency, U.S. agency mortgage-backed, corporate bond/other securities, and municipal securities was 4.97,6.65,3.93, and 3.68 years, respectively. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. The following tables set forth the contractual maturity distribution of investment securities, cost basis for available for sale and carrying value for held to maturity as well as fair market values, as of December 31, 2025.

At December 31, 2025, within the available for sale debt securities portfolio, the Company hadsix U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities andten corporate bonds that have been in a gross unrealized loss position for less than 12 months with depreciation of 0.6% from its amortized cost basis. Additionally, at December 31, 2025, within the available for sale debt securities portfolio, the Company hadsix U.S. Agency,127 U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities,16 municipal, and 39 corporate bonds that have been in a gross unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months with depreciation of 10.8% from its amortized cost basis.
These unrealized losses are primarily a result of increases in market yields from the time of purchase. In general, as market yields rise, the value of securities will decrease; as market yields decrease, the fair value of securities will increase. Management generally views changes in fair value caused by changes in interest rates as temporary; therefore, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded for these securities. Management has also concluded that based on current information we expect to continue to receive scheduled interest payments as well as the entire principal balance. Furthermore, management does not intend to sell these securities and does not believe it will be required to sell these securities before they recover in value or mature.

During 2025, the Company recognized the charge-off of a $1.0 million corporate bond within the available for sale debt securities portfolio. The security was charged off against an established allowance for credit losses due to further credit deterioration and heightened doubts surrounding the issuer’s ability to meet its payment obligations as well as substantial legal issues. The Company recognized a $640,000 provision for credit losses on available for sale debt securities in 2025 as a result of the establishment of a full reserve on the corporate bond discussed above after a partial reserve was established for the security last year. This compares to the recognition of a $75,000 provision for credit losses recovery in 2024. During 2024, the recognition of the provision recovery was due to the sale of the impaired subordinated debt investment issued by Signature Bank which was partially offset by the establishment of an allowance for credit losses on a corporate AFS security deemed to be credit impaired.

The Company’s agency and mortgage-backed securities are issued by U.S. government entities and agencies and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies, and have a long history ofno credit losses. As such, no allowance for credit losses has been established for these securities. The allowance for credit losses on the municipal, corporate, and other bonds within the held to maturity securities portfolio is calculated using the PD/LGD method. The calculation is completed on a quarterly basis using the default studies provided by an industry leading source.
Maintaining investment quality is a primary objective of the Company’s Investment Policy which, subject to certain limited exceptions, prohibits the purchase of any investment security below a Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s rating of A. The Company monitors the credit ratings of its debt securities on a quarterly basis. At December 31, 2025,1.7% of the portfolio was rated AAA as compared to 59.2% at December 31, 2024. The steep decline in securities rated AAA resulted from the Moody’s downgrade of the United States rating to Aa1 during 2025 which impacted the Company’s U.S. Agency and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities. At December 31, 2025,76.5% of the total investment securities portfolio was rated AA or higher compared to 72.8% at December 31, 2024. Approximately 13.5% of the portfolio was rated below A or unrated at December 31, 2025 compared to 14.7% at December 31, 2024.

The Company recorded a $4.1 million provision for credit losses on the loan portfolio in 2025 compared to a provision of $882,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in an unfavorable change of $3.2 million. The significant increase in the provision for credit losses for 2025 primarily reflects the charge-off activity during the year. Specifically, a $3.1 million charge-off was necessary to resolve the Company’s largest problem commercial real estate loan secured by a mixed use retail/office property in the Pittsburgh market, in addition to charge-offs of $1.8 million within the commercial and industrial loan segment. The Company recognized net loan charge-offs of $4.9 million, or 0.46% of total average loans, in 2025 compared to net loan charge-offs of $2.0 million, or 0.19% of total average loans, in 2024. Tempering the impact from the charge-offs on the 2025 provision expense was a year-over-year contraction in outstanding loan balances.
The lower provision for credit losses for 2024 reflected provision recoveries recognized for the loan portfolio during the first and third quarters. These recoveries were more than offset by the fourth quarter 2024 provision expense which was unfavorably impacted by increased loss rates, due to charge-off activity, as well as strong loan growth.
The following tables summarize the loan portfolio and allowance for credit losses by the primary segments of the loan portfolio.

Non-Performing Assets from the Loan Portfolio
Non-performing assets from the loan portfolio are comprised of (i) loans which are on a non-accrual basis, (ii) loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments, and (iii) other real estate owned (OREO – real estate acquired through foreclosure and in-substance foreclosures) and repossessed assets.
Loans will be transferred to non-accrual status when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in evaluating the loan include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. The following table presents non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest, and OREO and repossessed assets by portfolio class (in thousands).

It should be noted that the Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the measurement of its ACL. When a loan is placed in non-accrual status, any outstanding interest is reversed against interest income.
Non-performing assets from the loan portfolio decreased from $12.7 million at December 31, 2024 to $8.5 million at December 31, 2025. Non-performing assets from the loan portfolio were at 0.82% of total loans as of December 31, 2025 compared to 1.19% of total loans as of December 31, 2024. In summary, the allowance for credit losses provided 158% coverage of non-performing loans and 1.27% of total loans at December 31, 2025 compared to 127% coverage of non-performing loans and 1.30% of total loans at December 31, 2024.
Foreclosed assets acquired in settlement of loans are carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell and are included in other real estate owned and repossessed assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company hadno foreclosed residential real estate included in other real estate owned and repossessed assets as of December 31, 2025 compared to $14,000 as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had initiated formal foreclosure procedures on $130,000 of residential mortgages.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually to classify the loans as to credit risk.
Management uses a nine-point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized. The first five pass categories are aggregated, while the pass-6, special mention, substandard and doubtful categories are disaggregated to separate pools. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The special mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. Loans in the substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans in the doubtful category have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. All loans greater than 90 days past due, or for which any portion of the loan represents a specific allocation of the allowance for credit losses are typically placed in substandard or doubtful.
To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process, which dictates that, at a minimum, credit reviews are mandatory for all commercial and commercial mortgage loan relationships with aggregate balances in excess of $1,000,000 within a 12-month period. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the pass categories unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, delinquency, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s commercial relationship managers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis. Risk ratings are assigned by the account officer, but require independent review and rating concurrence from the Company’s internal Loan Review Department. The Loan Review Department is an experienced, independent function which reports directly to the Board’s Audit Committee. The scope of commercial portfolio coverage by the Loan Review Department is defined and presented to the Audit Committee for approval on an annual basis. The actual loan review coverage for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 43% of the commercial loan portfolio.
In addition to loan monitoring by the account officer and Loan Review Department, the Company also requires presentation of all credits rated pass-6 with aggregate balances greater than $2,000,000, all credits rated special mention or substandard with aggregate balances greater than $250,000, and all credits rated doubtful with aggregate balances greater than $100,000 on an individual basis to the Company’s Loan Loss Reserve Committee on a quarterly basis. Additionally, the Asset Quality Task Force, which is a group comprised of senior level personnel, meets monthly to monitor the status of problem loans.
The following tables present the classes of the commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios summarized by the aggregate pass and the criticized categories of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the internal risk rating system.

It is generally the policy of the Bank that the outstanding balance of any residential mortgage or home equity loan that exceeds 90-days past due as to principal and/or interest is transferred to non-accrual status and an evaluation is completed to determine the fair value of the collateral less selling costs, unless the balance is minor. A charge-down is recorded for any deficiency balance determined from the collateral evaluation. It is generally the policy of the Bank that the outstanding balance of any unsecured consumer loan that exceeds 90-days past due as to principal and/or interest is charged off. Loans past due 90 days or more and loans in non-accrual status are considered non-performing. The following tables present the performing and non-performing outstanding balances of the residential mortgage and consumer loan portfolio classes.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as a result of our loss mitigation activities. A variety of solutions are offered to borrowers, including loan modifications that may result in principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, term extensions, payment delays, or combinations thereof.
| ● | Principal forgiveness includes principal and accrued interest forgiveness. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged off against the ACL. |
| ● | Interest rate reductions include modifications where the interest rate is reduced, and interest is deferred. |
| ● | Term extensions extend the original contractual maturity date of the loan. |
| ● | Payment delays consist of modifications where we expect to collect the contractual amounts due but result in a delay in the receipt of payments specified under the original loan terms. We generally consider payment delays to be insignificant when the delay is three months or less. |
The following tables summarize the amortized cost basis of loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands).

The Company closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The Company hadno loans which were modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty which subsequently defaulted during the year ended December 31, 2025. An other commercial real estate (non-owner occupied) loan modified during the second quarter of 2023 was in non-accrual status and significantly past due as of December 31, 2024. The loan was secured by a mixed use (retail/office) property located within the City of Pittsburgh, but not in the downtown central business district. The loan was considered in default and the Company initiated formal foreclosure procedures on the property during 2024. Further, the property was sold during the fourth quarter of 2025, resulting in the pay-off and final charge-off of the loan as of December 31, 2025.

- DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following disclosures establish a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their
entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three broad levels defined within this hierarchy are as follows:
Level I: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.
Level II: Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.
Level III: Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
Equity Securities Without Readily Determinable Fair Values
The Company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with a borrower who, upon emergence from bankruptcy, issued ordinary shares in satisfaction of debt previously contracted. The shares are not listed on any stock exchange. Since the shares do not have a readily determinable fair value, they are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment by management. In addition, if management identifies an observable price change in an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, the fair value of the equity securities will be measured and adjusted. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying value of these equity securities was $600,000 which is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There wereno adjustments to the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Additionally, during 2025, the Company received shares of restricted common stock due to the spin-off of a portion of the issuer’s business. The shares cannot be sold or transferred and are not listed on any stock exchange. The restricted shares haveno carrying value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025.
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded on a Recurring Basis
Equity securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. These securities are mutual funds held within a rabbi trust for the Company’s executive deferred compensation plan. The mutual funds held are open-end funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value and to transact at that price.
Securities classified as available for sale and trading are reported at fair value based on measurements obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quoted market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. It should be noted that available for sale securities are reported at fair value, net of any related allowance for credit losses.
The fair values of the simultaneous interest rate swaps, the interest rate hedges used for interest rate risk management, and the risk participation agreements associated with certain commercial real estate loans are based on an external derivative valuation model using data inputs from similar transactions as of the valuation date and classified Level 2.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities measured and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis at their fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands).

Assets Measured and Recorded on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company evaluates individual loans for expected credit losses when those loans do not share similar risk characteristics with loans evaluated using a collective (pooled) basis. Individually evaluated loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if the repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on observable market data which at times are discounted using unobservable inputs. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company hadno individually evaluated loans using the collateral method which were carried at fair value.
Other real estate owned is measured at fair value based on appraisals, less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure. The Bank’s internal Collections and Assigned Risk Department estimates the fair value of repossessed assets, such as vehicles and equipment, using a formula driven analysis based on automobile or other industry data, less estimated costs to sell at the time of repossession. Valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Income and expenses from operations and changes in valuation allowance are included in the net expenses from OREO and repossessed assets.

13. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
For the Company, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Many of the Company’s financial instruments, however, lack an available trading market characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Therefore, significant estimates and present value calculations were used by the Company for the purpose of this disclosure.
Fair values have been determined by the Company using independent third-party valuations that use the best available data (Level 2) and an estimation methodology (Level 3), which the Company believes is suitable for each category of financial instruments. Management believes that cash and cash equivalents, bank owned life insurance, regulatory stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, deposits with no stated maturities, and short-term borrowings have fair values which approximate the recorded carrying values. The fair value measurements for all of these financial instruments are Level 1 measurements.
The estimated fair values based on US GAAP measurements and recorded carrying values at December 31, 2025 and 2024 for the remaining financial instruments not required to be reported at fair value were as follows:

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company hadno valuation allowance established against its deferred tax assets as we believe the Company will generate sufficient future taxable income to fully utilize these assets.
The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more likely than not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more likely than not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company hasno tax liability for uncertain tax positions. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns for taxable years through 2021 have been closed for purposes of examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.
- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLAN
The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering certain employees who work at least 1,000 hours per year. The participants shall have a vested interest in their accrued benefit after five full years of service. The benefits of the plan are based upon the employees’ years of service and average annual earnings for the highest five consecutive calendar years during the finalten-year period of employment. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company implemented a soft freeze of its defined benefit pension plan for non-union employees. A soft freeze means that all existing employees as of December 31, 2012 will remain in the defined benefit pension plan, but any new non-union employees hired after January 1, 2013 will no longer be part of the defined benefit plan but instead will be offered retirement benefits under an enhanced 401(k) program. The Company implemented a similar soft freeze of its defined benefit pension plan for union employees effective January 1, 2014. The Company executed these changes to help reduce its pension costs in future years. Plan assets are primarily debt securities (including U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, corporate notes and bonds), listed common stocks (including shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $2.4 million and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is limited to 4% of the plan’s assets), mutual funds, and short-term cash equivalent instruments. The following actuarial tables are based upon data provided by an independent third party as of December 31.

| Net periodic pension benefit | | $(1,908) | | $(1,292) |
The service cost component of net periodic pension benefit is included in salaries and employee benefits and all other components of net periodic pension benefit are included in other expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company didnot recognize a settlement charge in connection with its defined benefit pension plan in 2025 while a settlement charge of $471,000 was recognized in 2024. A settlement charge must be recognized when the total dollar amount of lump sum distributions paid from the pension plan to retired employees exceeds a threshold of expected annual service and interest costs in the current year. It is important to note that since the retired employees elected to take lump sum payments, these individuals are no longer included in the pension plan which favorably impacts the Company’s basic pension expense. Therefore, the Company’s basic annual pension expense is expected to be lower in the future. This was evident in 2024 and 2025 as the Company recognized a net periodic pension benefit in both years.
Note that pension settlement charges are dependent upon the level of national interest rates from the previous year and the impact that interest rates have on lump sum distributions to those employees eligible to retire. Pension settlement charges are also dependent upon the choice of retiring employees to either take a lump sum distribution or receive future monthly annuity payments.
The accrued pension obligation, which had a positive (debit) balance of $36.1 million and $31.4 million, was reclassified to other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The balance of the accrued pension obligation continues to be a positive value as a result of the strong returns on plan assets and the revaluation of the obligation.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, actuarial gains/losses in the projected benefit obligation were the result of the plan experience, updated census data, discount rate, lump sum interest rates, and lump sum mortality tables. These sources generated a combined loss of about 0.99% of expected year-end obligations.
The weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension benefit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

The Company has assumed a 7.00% long-term expected return on plan assets. This assumption was based upon the plan’s historical investment performance over a longer-term period of 20 years combined with the plan’s investment objective of balanced growth and income. Additionally, this assumption also incorporates a targeted range for equity securities of approximately 0% to 60% of plan assets.
Plan Assets
The plan’s measurement date was December 31, 2025. The plan’s asset allocation at December 31, 2025 and 2024, by asset category, was as follows:
| · · · · · | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| · · YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, | |||
| · · 2025 · · 2024 | |||
| ASSET CATEGORY: | | | |

| Fixed income | 43.9 | 35.1 | |
| Equity | 52.6 | 63.5 | |
| Total | 100.0% | 100.0% | |
The major categories of assets in the Company’s pension plan as of year-end are presented in the following table. Assets are segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy established by ASC Topic 820 utilized to measure fair value.

| Equity | | 35,547 | | | 39,736 |
| Total fair value of plan assets | | $67,558 | | $62,617 | |
Cash and cash equivalents may include uninvested cash balances along with money market mutual funds, treasury bills, or other assets normally categorized as cash equivalents. Fixed income may include mutual funds that are categorized as balanced, domestic, international, or global/emerging, as well as exchange traded funds. In addition, fixed income may include individual bonds that are government, corporate, or international. Equity may include common or preferred stocks, covered options, rights or warrants, or American Depository Receipts which are traded on any U.S. equity market. In addition, equity may include mutual funds and exchange traded funds.
The investment strategy objective for the pension plan is a balance of growth and income. This objective seeks to develop a portfolio for acceptable levels of current income together with the opportunity for capital appreciation. The balanced growth and income objective reflects an equal balance between fixed income and equity investments. The allocation between fixed income and equity assets may vary to a moderate degree during normal market cycles. The pension plan’s allocation to fixed income can fall within the range of 0% to 100% of the plan assets while the allocation to equity is 0% to 60%. In addition, cash equivalents can range from 0% to 100% of the plan assets. The plan is also able to invest in ASRV common stock up to a maximum level of 4% of the market value of the plan assets (as of December 31, 2025 and 2024,3.6% and 2.8%, respectively, of the plan assets were invested in ASRV common stock). This asset mix is intended to ensure that there is a steady stream of income generated to fund benefit payments.
Cash Flows
The Company presently expects to contribute $0 to the plan in 2026. Funding requirements for subsequent years are uncertain and will significantly depend on whether the plan’s actuary changes any assumptions used to calculate plan funding levels, the actual return on plan assets, changes in the employee groups covered by the plan, and any legislative or regulatory changes affecting plan funding requirements. For tax planning, financial planning, cash flow management or cost reduction purposes the Company may increase, accelerate, decrease or delay contributions to the plan to the extent permitted by law.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments
The following benefit payments, which reflect future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid.

| Years 2031-2035 | | 12,178 |
401(k) PLAN
The Company maintains a qualified 401(k) plan that allows for participation by Company employees. Under the plan, employees may elect to make voluntary contributions to their accounts, which the Company will match one half on the first 2% of contributions up to a maximum of 1%. The Company also contributes 4% of salaries for union members who are in the plan. These contribution percentages apply to employees who are eligible to participate in our defined benefit pension plan.
Effective January 1, 2013, any new non-union employees receive a 4% non-elective contribution, and these employees may elect to make voluntary contributions to their accounts which the Company will match one half on the first 6% of contributions up to a maximum of 3%. Effective January 1, 2014, any new union employees receive a 4% non-elective contribution, and these employees may elect to make voluntary contributions to their accounts which the Company will match dollar for dollar up to a maximum of 4%. Contributions by the Company charged to operations were $1.0 million and $982,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The fair value of plan assets includes $534,000 and $390,000 pertaining to the value of the Company’s common stock that was held by the plan at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in which a select group of executives are permitted to participate. An eligible executive can defer a certain percentage of their current salary to be placed into the plan. The Company has established a rabbi trust to provide funding for the benefits payable under our deferred compensation plan. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company reported a deferred compensation liability of $183,000 and $350,000, respectively, within other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized deferred compensation plan expense of $9,000 and $19,000, respectively. The deferred compensation plan expense is reported within other expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 5 (Investment Securities) for additional disclosures related to the nonqualified deferred compensation plan and assets held within the rabbi trust.
Except for the above-described benefit plans, the Company has no significant additional exposure for any other post-retirement or post-employment benefits.
- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company incurs off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These risks derive from commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments and standby letters of credit involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk. Commitments to extend credit are obligations to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the loan agreement. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because a portion of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Commitments to extend credit are issued both on an unsecured and secured basis. Collateral which secures these types of commitments is the same as for other types of secured lending such as accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, and real estate.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including normal business activities, bond financings, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Letters of credit are issued both on an unsecured and secured basis. Collateral securing these types of transactions is similar to collateral securing the Company’s commercial loans.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to these commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by their contractual amounts. The Company uses the same credit
and collateral policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for all other lending. At December 31, 2025, the Company had various outstanding commitments to extend credit approximating $239.9 million and standby letters of credit of $8.8 million, compared to commitments to extend credit of $233.2 million and standby letters of credit of $8.7 million at December 31, 2024.
Standby letters of credit had terms ranging fromone tofive years with annual extension options available. Standby letters of credit of approximately $5.5 million and $6.5 million were secured as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which it is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancelable. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through the provision for credit losses line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses recovery on unfunded commitments of $629,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025 while a provision for credit losses of $26,000 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024. The carrying amount of the allowance for credit losses for the Company’s obligations related to unfunded commitments and standby letters of credit, which is reported in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $337,000 at December 31, 2025 and $966,000 at December 31, 2024.
Pursuant to its bylaws, the Company provides indemnification to its directors and officers against certain liabilities incurred as a result of their service on behalf of the Company. In connection with this indemnification obligation, the Company can advance, on behalf of covered individuals, costs incurred in defending against certain claims. Additionally, the Company is subject to a number of asserted and unasserted potential claims encountered in the normal course of business. In the opinion of the Company, neither the resolution of these claims nor the funding of these credit commitments is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
- STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company uses the modified prospective method for accounting for stock-based compensation and recognizedno stock compensation expense for 2025 compared to $8,000 of stock compensation expense in 2024.
During 2021, the Company’s Board adopted, and its shareholders approved, the AmeriServ Financial, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) authorizing the grant of options or restricted stock covering 600,000 shares of common stock. This Plan replaced the expired 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. Under the Plan, options or restricted stock can be granted (the Grant Date) to directors, officers, and employees that provide services to the Company and its affiliates, as selected by the Compensation/Human Resources Committee of the Board. The option price at which a granted stock option may be exercised will not be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of common stock on the Grant Date. The maximum term of any option granted under the Plan cannot exceed 10 years. Generally, options vest over athree-year period and become exercisable in equal installments over the vesting period. At times, options with aone-year vesting period may also be issued.
A summary of the status of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and changes during the years then ended are presented in the table and narrative following:

19. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets show both tangible assets (such as loans, buildings, and investments) and intangible assets (such as goodwill and core deposit intangible). Goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized. Instead, such intangible is evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. Any resulting impairment would be reflected as a non-interest expense. Based on this analysis, no impairment was recorded in 2025 or 2024. Of the Company’s goodwill of $13.6 million, $11.2 million relates to past branch acquisitions while $2.4 million relates to the acquisition of the former West Chester Capital Advisors, now operating as AmeriServ Wealth Advisors. The balance of the Company’s goodwill at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $13.6 million.
Other identifiable intangible assets, such as core deposit intangible, are assigned useful lives, which are amortized on an accelerated basis over their useful lives. Such lives are also periodically reassessed to determine if any amortization period adjustments are required. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 no such adjustments were recorded. During 2021, the Company recorded a core deposit intangible of $177,000 as a result of the Riverview Bank branch acquisition. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, accumulated amortization on the core deposit intangible totaled $121,000 and $100,000, respectively.

- DERIVATIVE HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
The Company can use various interest rate contracts, such as interest rate swaps, caps, and floors to help manage interest rate and market valuation risk exposure, which is incurred in normal recurrent banking activities.
The Company uses derivative instruments, primarily interest rate swaps, to manage interest rate risk and match the rates on certain assets by hedging the fair value of certain fixed rate liabilities, which converts the liabilities to variable rates and by hedging the cash flow variability associated with certain variable rate liabilities by converting the liabilities to fixed rates.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
To accommodate the needs of our customers and support the Company’s asset/liability positioning, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements with customers and a large financial institution that specializes in these types of transactions. These arrangements involve the exchange of interest payments based on the notional amounts. The Company entered into floating rate loans and fixed rate swaps with our customers. Simultaneously, the Company entered into offsetting fixed rate swaps with this large financial institution. In connection with each swap transaction, the Company agrees to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on the same notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, the Company agrees to pay the large financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. These transactions allow the Company’s customers to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for its customers, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations. Fees on the interest rate swap transactions are recognized as revenue when received. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received $13,000 in fees on an interest rate swap transaction. There were no new interest rate swap contracts executed during the year ended December 31, 2024, therefore, no fees were recognized.
These swaps are considered free-standing derivatives and are reported at fair value within other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Disclosures related to the fair value of the swap transactions can be found in Note 12.
The following tables summarize the interest rate swap transactions that impacted the Company’s 2025 and 2024 performance (in thousands, except percentages).

Risk Participation Agreement
The Company will enter into risk participation agreements (RPAs) with the lead bank of certain commercial real estate loan arrangements. As a participating bank, the Company guarantees the performance on borrower-related interest rate swap contracts. The Company has no obligations under the RPAs unless the borrower defaults on their swap transaction with the lead bank and the swap is a liability to the borrower. In that instance, the Company has agreed to pay the lead bank a pre-determined percentage of the swap’s value at the time of default. In exchange for providing the guarantee, the Company receives an upfront fee from the lead bank. There were no new RPAs executed during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, therefore, no fees were recognized.
RPAs are derivative financial instruments and are recorded at fair value. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings with a corresponding offset within other liabilities. Disclosures related to the fair value of the RPAs can be found in Note 12. The notional amount of the risk participation agreements outstanding at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $4.9 million.
Interest Rate Hedges
The Company has entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $70 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 in order to hedge the interest rate risk associated with certain floating-rate time deposit accounts. The hedge transactions allow the Company to add stability to interest expense and manage its exposure to interest rate movements. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed payments.
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss (within Shareholders’ Equity), net of tax, with a corresponding offset within other assets or other liabilities. Disclosures related to the fair value of the interest rate hedges can be found in Note 12. Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the effective portion of changes in the fair value are subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of the hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transactions. The Company did not recognize any hedge ineffectiveness in earnings during 2025 and 2024.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on certain of the Company’s variable rate time deposit accounts. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $28,000 and $687,000 of gains, respectively, which resulted in a decrease to interest expense. In the twelve months that follow December 31, 2025, the Company estimates that approximately $104,000 of losses will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. This reclassified amount could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2025, the maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged is approximatelyone year with all hedge transactions terminating by December 2026.
The following table summarizes the effect of the effective portion of the Company’s cash flow hedge accounting on accumulated other comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands).

The Company monitors and controls all derivative products with a comprehensive Board of Directors approved Hedging Policy. This policy permits a total maximum notional amount outstanding of $500 million for interest rate swaps, caps, and floors. All hedge transactions must be approved in advance by the Investment Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Board of Directors, unless otherwise approved, as per the terms, within the Board of Directors approved Hedging Policy. The Company hadno caps or floors outstanding at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
- SEGMENT REPORTING
ASC Topic 280,Segment Reporting, identifies operating segments as components of a company which are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to develop strategy, allocate resources, and assess performance. The chief operating decision maker of the Company is our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO has authority over all divisions within the Company. The senior manager of each division reports directly to the CEO and all operating activities of the divisions, including financial results, budgets, and forecasts, are discussed with the CEO. While the CEO’s direct reports manage the day-to-day functions of each division, all strategic and major decision making actions must be approved by the CEO for all product lines and geographic areas where the Company has a presence.
While the Company monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed, and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. The Company provides a variety of consumer and commercial banking and wealth management services within southwestern Pennsylvania and Hagerstown, Maryland through its branch network. Its retail and commercial banking activities include the deposit-gathering branch franchise and lending activities such as residential mortgage loans, direct consumer loans, small business loans, commercial loans, business services, and CRE loans. Its wealth management activities include personal trust products and services such as personal portfolio investment management, estate planning and administration, custodial services and pre-need trusts, as well as the sale of mutual funds, annuities, and insurance products. Additionally, institutional trust products and services such as 401(k) plans, defined benefit and defined contribution employee benefit plans, and individual retirement accounts are offered. Wealth management activities also include the union collective investment funds (ERECT funds) which are designed to use union pension dollars in construction projects that utilize union labor.
Management has determined that the Company hasone reportable segment consisting of Community Banking. While senior management within each division evaluates detailed financial data to monitor revenues and expenses, there are certain support cost centers, such as information technology, human resources, internal audit, and finance, that are not directly charged to each operating profit center making it difficult to determine a thorough and accurate measure of profitability. Further, the revenue generating divisions do not operate as separate silos but work cooperatively and
together, providing referrals and cross-selling opportunities to one another. It is not feasible to split the benefit of these efforts between or among the referral division and the product/service division. Finally, the Company’s Board of Directors evaluates performance on a macro level basis and reviews financial reports that describe the consolidated operating performance of all the divisions of the Company.
The accounting policies for the Community Banking segment are the same as those of our consolidated entity. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net income as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Consolidated net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results in assessing performance. The chief operating decision maker uses two primary measures to gauge performance: earnings per share (EPS) and return on average assets (ROA). EPS measures the Company’s profitability in relation to the number of common shares outstanding. ROA measures how efficiently the Company generates income based on its total assets. The chief operating decision maker also uses consolidated net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s peers.
- REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Company is subject to various capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts, and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For a more detailed discussion, see the Capital Resources section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A).
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total, common equity tier 1, and tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and tier 1 capital to average assets. Additionally, under Basel III rules, the decision was made to opt-out of including accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in regulatory capital. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action promulgated by the Federal Reserve. The Company believes that no conditions or events have occurred that would change this conclusion as of such date. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total capital, common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital, and tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table.

The ability of the subsidiary Bank to upstream cash to the parent company is restricted by regulations. Federal law prevents the parent company from borrowing from its subsidiary Bank unless the loans are secured by specified assets. Further, such secured loans are limited in amount to ten percent of the subsidiary Bank’s capital and surplus. In addition, the Bank is subject to legal limitations on the amount of dividends that can be paid to its shareholder. The dividend
limitation generally restricts dividend payments to a bank’s retained net income for the current and preceding two calendar years. The subsidiary Bank had a combined $141,569,000 of restricted surplus and retained earnings at December 31, 2025. Cash may also be upstreamed to the parent company by the subsidiary as an inter-entity management fee.

A
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of AmeriServ Financial, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AmeriServ Financial, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024; the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended; and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent, with respect to the Company, in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements; and (2) involve our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter, in any way, our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL) – Qualitative Factor
Description of the Matter
The Company’s loan portfolio totaled $1.03 billion as of December 31, 2025, and the associated ACL was $13 million. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, determining the amount of the ACL requires significant judgment about the expected future losses, which is based on capturing loans that qualify for a segment as of a point in time to form a cohort, then tracks that cohort over their remaining lives to determine their loss behavior. The remaining lifetime loss rate is then applied to current loans that qualify for the same segmentation criteria to form a remaining life expectation on current loans. Once historical cohorts are established, the loans in each individual cohort are tracked over their remaining lives for loss and recovery events. Management applies these qualitative adjustments to the baseline lifetime loss rate to reflect changes in the current and forecasted environment, both internal and external, that are different from the conditions that existed during the historical loss calculation period.
We identified these qualitative adjustments within the ACL as critical audit matters because they involve a high degree of subjectivity. While the determination of these qualitative adjustments includes analysis of observable data over the historical loss period, the judgments required to assess the directionality and magnitude of adjustments are highly subjective. Auditing these complex judgments and assumptions involved especially challenging auditor judgment due to the nature of audit evidence and the nature and extent of effort required to address these matters.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
| • | Testing the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the calculation of the allowance for credit losses, and the qualitative factor adjustments. |
| • | Testing the completeness and accuracy of the significant data points that management uses in their evaluation of the qualitative adjustments. |
| • | Testing the anchoring calculation that management completes to properly align the magnitude of the adjustments with the Company’s historical loss data. |
| • | Evaluating the directional consistency and reasonableness of management’s conclusions regarding basis points applied (whether positive or negative) based on the trends identified in the underlying data. |
| • | Testing the mathematical accuracy of the application of the qualitative adjustments to the loan segments within the ACL calculation. |
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2007.

REPORT ON MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
We, as management of AmeriServ Financial, Inc., are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits. Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies as they are identified. Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
Management assessed the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in “2013 Internal Control — Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of December 31, 2025, its system of internal control over financial reporting is effective and meets the criteria of the “2013 Internal Control — Integrated Framework”.
Management is responsible for compliance with the federal and state laws and regulations concerning dividend restrictions and federal laws and regulations concerning loans to insiders designated by the Federal Reserve as safety and soundness laws and regulations.
Management has assessed compliance by the Company with the designated laws and regulations relating to safety and soundness. Based on the assessment, management believes that the Company complied, in all significant respects, with the designated laws and regulations related to safety and soundness for the year ended December 31, 2025.

STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of AmeriServ Financial, Inc.
Management of AmeriServ Financial, Inc. and its subsidiary have prepared the consolidated financial statements and other information in the Annual Report and Form 10-K in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and are responsible for its accuracy.
In meeting its responsibility, management relies on internal accounting and related control systems, which include selection and training of qualified personnel, establishment and communication of accounting and administrative policies and procedures, appropriate segregation of responsibilities, and programs of internal audit. These systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets and that assets are safeguarded against unauthorized use or disposition. Such assurance cannot be absolute because of inherent limitations in any internal control system.
Management also recognizes its responsibility to foster a climate in which Company affairs are conducted with the highest ethical standards. The Company’s Code of Conduct, furnished to each employee and director, addresses the importance of open internal communications, potential conflicts of interest, compliance with applicable laws, including those related to financial disclosure, the confidentiality of proprietary information, and other items. There is an ongoing program to assess compliance with these policies.
The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors consists solely of independent directors. The Audit Committee meets periodically with management and the independent auditors to discuss audit, financial reporting, and related matters. S.R. Snodgrass P.C. and the Company’s internal auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee.
