Current report
The net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, increased from 2.71% in 2024 to 2.98% in 2025. The yield on earning assets increased 18 basis points, to 4.53%, while the cost of funds decreased nine basis points, to 2.22%, in 2025 compared to 2024.
Current report
Non-interest income was $5.8 million for both the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The majority of the Company’s non-interest income is derived from fee-generated income sources. Fee-generated non-interest income consists of customer service fees derived from deposit accounts, debit card fee income, trust relationships and sales of non-deposit products. In 2025, revenues from these services totaled $4.4 million, with increases of $101,000, or 5.7%, in customer service fees and $21,000, or 1.2%, in debit card fee income compared to the year ended 2024. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $25,000, or 5.3%, in trust fees and $108,000, or 27.8%, in commissions from sales of non-deposit products with the latter primarily due to the transition to a new wealth management business model in 2025.
Current report
Also impacting the comparative year end periods was a decrease of $61,000, or 16.9%, in other non-interest income in 2025 compared to 2024 due to recording a $50,000 net loss on the sale of fixed assets primarily attributed to the loss recorded on the sale of the Port Allegany branch office in 2025.
Current report
Also impacting the comparative year end periods were decreases of $144,000, or 10.2%, in occupancy expenses and $110,000, or 9.7%, in professional fees. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $129,000, or 1.4%, in employee compensation expense and $205,000, or 192.5%, in the provision for unfunded loan commitments, which is included in other non-interest expense, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in the provision for unfunded loan commitments was due to an increase in loan commitments between periods.

JUNIATA’S OPPORTUNITIES
Previous report
SOUNDNESS AND STABILITY
Previous report
Our financial condition is strong. We enjoy strong liquidity ratios, as well as capital ratios that exceed regulatory guidelines. Our business model includes a plan for growth without sacrificing profitability or integrity. We believe an opportunity exists for banks such as ours to offer the trusted, personal service of a locally managed institution that has had roots in the community for over 150 years.
Previous report
EXPANSION OF CUSTOMER BASE
Previous report
Our strategic focus is based on leveraging our collective knowledge of the Company’s primary and contiguous markets to identify lending or fee-based opportunities consistent with our risk parameters and profitability targets. We continue to develop our sales team through mentoring and by making employee education paramount. We continually seek and implement back-room efficiencies. We recognize change is taking place in a world where convenience and mobility are priorities for consumers and businesses when choosing a financial institution with whom to do business. We offer full-featured secure mobile banking that includes remote check deposit for use on home computers and all mobile devices for consumers. For businesses, we provide options for cash management and remote deposit. We offer identity protection to the families of our customers, which we believe to be a true value-added service, with features that go far beyond traditional banking services, and sets us apart from other financial institutions in our market area. With the acquisition of First National Bank of Port Allegheny (“FNBPA”) in 2015, we expanded our market into the northern tier region of Pennsylvania and integrated the JVB brand there. In 2018, we expanded our footprint in Perry County, Pennsylvania,

DELIVERY SYSTEM ENHANCEMENTS
Previous report
We seek to continually enhance our customer delivery system, both through technology and physical facilities. We actively seek opportunities to expand our branch network through acquisitions. We believe that it is imperative that our customers have convenient and easy access to personal financial services that complement their lifestyle, whether it is through electronic or personal delivery. We achieved an early entry into the mobile banking arena and have since expanded online delivery, offering consumer remote deposit, mobile wallet and online consumer loan and deposit accounting opening. Through the www.JVBonline.com website, we offer a suite of online services including the convenience of online loan applications for residential mortgages, home equity, vehicle and other personal loans.

JUNIATA’S CHALLENGES
Previous report
NET INTEREST MARGIN COMPRESSION
Previous report
Net interest margin compression remained prevalent in 2024 despite the federal funds rate decreasing by 100 basis points over the last four months of 2024. Many interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, were originated, acquired or repriced at higher rates, increasing the average rate earned on those assets, while the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, also increased, and at a faster pace, than the increase in rates on interest earning assets, impacting the net interest margin in both 2023 and 2024. We believe net interest margin compression will remain a challenge, but lower market rates may help alleviate some of the compression, potentially positively impacting our net interest margin in 2025.
Previous report
COMPETITION
Previous report
Each year, competition becomes more intense and global in nature. To meet this challenge, we attempt to stay in close contact with our customers, monitoring their satisfaction with our services through surveys, personal visits and networking in the communities we serve. We strive to meet or exceed our customers’ expectations and deliver consistent high-quality service. We believe that our customers have become acutely aware of the value of local service, and we strive to maintain their confidence.
Previous report
RATE ENVIRONMENT
Previous report
We intend to continue making what we believe to be rational pricing decisions for loans, deposits and non-deposit products. This strategy can be difficult to maintain, as many of our peers appear to continue pricing for growth, rather than long-term profitability and stability. We believe that a strategy of “growth for the sake of growth” results in lower profitability, and such actions by large groups of banks have had an adverse impact on the entire financial services industry. We intend to maintain our core pricing principles, which we believe protect and preserve our future as a sound community financial services provider, proven by results.

REGULATION
Previous report
The Company is subject to banking regulation, as well as regulation by the SEC and, as such, must comply with many laws, including the USA Patriot Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Management has established a Disclosure Committee for Financial Reporting, an internal group at Juniata that seeks to ensure that current and potential investors in the Company receive full and complete information concerning our financial condition and results of operations. Juniata has incurred direct and indirect costs associated with compliance with the SEC’s filing and reporting requirements imposed on public companies by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as adherence to new and existing banking regulations and stronger corporate governance requirements.
Previous report
The net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, decreased from 2.74% in 2023 to 2.71% in 2024. The yield on earning assets increased 39 basis points, to 4.35%, while the cost of funds increased 56 basis points, to 2.31%, in 2024 compared to 2023. Net interest margin compression remained a factor in 2024 as interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, were originated or repriced at higher rates, increasing the average rate earned on those assets, while the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, increased at a faster pace.
Previous report
Non-interest income was $5.8 million in 2024, an increase of $504,000, or 9.5%, compared to 2023. Most significantly impacting the comparative year end periods was a $391,000, or 28.4%, increase in customer service fees due to collecting more overdraft and deposit service charges in 2024.
Previous report
Also impacting the comparative year end periods were increases of $182,000, or 36.4%, in fees derived from loan activity due to increases in title insurance commissions, and guidance line and swap fee income, as well as an increase of $98,000, or 576.5%, in the change in value of equity securities resulting from an increase in the market value of bank stocks owned by the Company. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $105,000, or 65.2%, in life insurance proceeds.
Previous report
Also impacting the comparative year end periods were increases of $286,000, or 33.7%, in professional fees primarily due to increases in audit and consulting fees, $204,000, or 31.0%, in equipment expense due to an increase in depreciation expense related to the core conversion and $123,000, or 9.5%, in occupancy expense due to an increase in rental expense from the early termination of a branch office lease in December 2024.
Previous report
These increases were partially offset by a decline of $227,000, or 100.0%, in merger and acquisition expense from expenses incurred in connection with the Path Valley branch acquisition in 2023.
Previous report
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”) that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption.

Recognizing that net interest margins have narrowed for banks in general and that these margins may not return to the ranges experienced in the past, we focus on the importance of providing fee-generating services in which customers find value.

It has also been our philosophy to spend conservatively and to implement operating efficiencies where possible to keep non-interest expense from escalating in areas that can be controlled.

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s assessment of the estimated credit losses the Company will receive over the life of the loan and is based on forecasted economic scenarios as well as qualitative factors specific to Juniata augmented by industry-wide trends. The methodology for determining the allowance for credit losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management because of the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions used and the potential for changes in the forecasted economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for credit losses. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions or estimates in the allowance for credit losses could have a material impact on the Company’s future financial condition and results of operations. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level believed to be adequate by management to absorb estimated lifetime losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is based upon an evaluation of relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This determination is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates. If a loan no longer demonstrates similar risk characteristics to their loan pool, it is removed from the pool and an individual assessment will be performed. The allowance calculation is also supplemented with qualitative reserves that take into consideration the current portfolio and specific risk characteristics, such as changes in policy and/or underwriting standards, portfolio mix, concentration and delinquency levels, as well as changes in environmental conditions, among other factors, that have occurred but are not yet reflected in the quantitative model component.

Previous wording
Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the most significant component of revenue, comprising approximately 80% of total revenues (the total of net interest income and non-interest income, exclusive of gains on sales and calls of securities) for 2024. Interest spread measures the absolute difference between average rates earned and average rates paid. Because some interest earning assets are tax-exempt, an adjustment is made for analytical purposes to present all assets on a fully tax-equivalent basis. Net interest margin is the percentage of net return on average earning assets, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, and provides a measure of comparability of a financial institution’s performance.
Current wording
Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the most significant component of revenue, comprising approximately 81% of total revenues (the total of net interest income and non-interest income, exclusive of gains on sales and calls of securities) for 2025. Interest spread measures the absolute difference between average rates earned and average rates paid. The net interest margin is expressed as the percentage of net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, to average interest earning assets. To compare the tax-exempt asset yields to taxable yields, amounts are adjusted to the pretax equivalent amounts based on the corporate federal income tax rate of 21%. The taxable equivalent adjustment to net interest income for 2025 was $278,000 compared to $235,000 in 2024.

Average interest bearing deposits increased by $8.8 million, or 1.6%, in 2024 compared to 2023, due to an increase in time deposits of $21.4 million, which was partially offset by declines in interest bearing demand and savings deposits as customers sought higher interest rate deposit products. Over the same period, average short-term borrowings increased by $9.0 million, due to an increase in average FRB advances, and average repurchase agreements increased by $5.4 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $8.8 million in average long-term debt due to the maturity of a $15.0 million advance in May 2024.

Fee-generated non-interest income consists of customer service fees derived from deposit accounts, debit card fee income, trust relationships and sales of non-deposit products. In 2024, revenues from these services totaled $4.4 million, representing an increase of $427,000, or 10.8%, from 2023 revenues with the increase in customer service fees being the main catalyst for the increase followed by a $51,000, or 15.1%, increase in commissions from sales of non-deposit products. Trust fees increased by $3,000 in 2024 versus 2023 due to an increase in non-estate trust fees which were partially offset by a decline in estate settlement fees. Variances in trust fees from estate settlements can arise because estate settlements occur sporadically and are not necessarily consistent year to year. Non-estate trust fees are repeatable revenues that generally increase and decrease in relation to movements in interest rates as market values of trust assets under management increase or decrease and as new relationships are established.
