[10-Q] AmeriServ Financial Inc Quarterly Earnings Report
AmeriServ Financial, Inc. reported a mixed quarter driven by stronger core yields but materially higher credit costs. Total assets were $1,448,733 (in thousands), cash and cash equivalents rose to $25,033, and deposits increased to $1,244,533, supporting liquidity. Net interest income improved to $10,394 for the quarter from $8,875 a year earlier, lifting six‑month net income to $1,626 (in thousands) versus $1,529 a year ago, while the quarter ended with a net loss of $282 (in thousands).
The company recorded a sharply higher provision for credit losses of $3,133 for the quarter (six months $3,036), driven primarily by a $2.8 million charge-down on a large mixed‑use CRE problem loan and higher net loan charge-offs of $3.0 million year‑to‑date. Allowance for credit losses on loans was $14,060, covering 93% of nonperforming loans and representing 1.32% of total loans at June 30, 2025. Investment portfolio reserves increased as the AFS allowance rose to $1,000 and one AFS security remained in non‑accrual.
In short, the bank shows deposit and NII strength and continued capital/support for a dividend, but credit deterioration and elevated provisions materially pressured quarterly earnings.
AmeriServ Financial, Inc. ha riportato un trimestre misto, sostenuto da maggiori rendimenti core ma gravato da costi del credito significativamente più alti. Le attività totali ammontavano a $1,448,733 (in migliaia), la liquidità e le equivalenti sono salite a $25,033 e i depositi sono aumentati a $1,244,533, a sostegno della liquidità. Il margine di interesse netto è migliorato a $10,394 per il trimestre rispetto a $8,875 un anno prima, portando l'utile netto su sei mesi a $1,626 (in migliaia) rispetto a $1,529 dell'anno precedente, mentre il trimestre si è chiuso con una perdita netta di $282 (in migliaia).
L'azienda ha rilevato una provvigione per perdite su crediti nettamente superiore pari a $3,133 per il trimestre (sei mesi $3,036), determinata principalmente da una svalutazione di $2,8 milioni su un ampio prestito problematico CRE a uso misto e da maggiori rettifiche nette sui prestiti per $3,0 milioni da inizio anno. L'allocazione per perdite su crediti sui prestiti era di $14,060, coprendo il 93% dei prestiti non performanti e rappresentando l'1,32% del totale prestiti al 30 giugno 2025. Le riserve sul portafoglio titoli sono aumentate, con l'accantonamento per titoli disponibili per la vendita (AFS) salito a $1,000 e un titolo AFS rimasto in non‑accrual.
In sintesi, la banca mostra solidità nei depositi e nel NII e mantiene capitale/supporto per il dividendo, ma il deterioramento del credito e le provvigioni elevate hanno inciso materialmente sugli utili trimestrali.
AmeriServ Financial, Inc. presentó un trimestre mixto, impulsado por mayores rendimientos básicos pero costes de crédito sensiblemente más altos. Los activos totales fueron de $1,448,733 (en miles), el efectivo y equivalentes subieron a $25,033 y los depósitos aumentaron a $1,244,533, respaldando la liquidez. El ingreso neto por intereses mejoró a $10,394 en el trimestre desde $8,875 un año antes, elevando la utilidad neta de seis meses a $1,626 (en miles) frente a $1,529 del año anterior, mientras que el trimestre cerró con una pérdida neta de $282 (en miles).
La compañía registró una provisión por pérdidas crediticias notablemente mayor de $3,133 para el trimestre (seis meses $3,036), impulsada principalmente por una baja por deterioro de $2.8 millones sobre un gran préstamo problemático CRE de uso mixto y mayores castigos netos de préstamos de $3.0 millones en lo que va del año. La reserva para pérdidas crediticias sobre préstamos era de $14,060, cubriendo el 93% de los préstamos no productivos y representando el 1.32% del total de préstamos al 30 de junio de 2025. Las reservas de la cartera de inversiones aumentaron, ya que la provisión para valores disponibles para la venta (AFS) subió a $1,000 y un valor AFS permaneció en non‑accrual.
En resumen, el banco muestra fortaleza en depósitos y en el NII y mantiene capital/apoyo para el dividendo, pero el deterioro crediticio y las altas provisiones presionaron materialmente las ganancias trimestrales.
AmeriServ Financial, Inc.는 핵심 수익률 상승과 함께 신용 비용이 크게 증가한 혼조된 분기 실적을 보고했습니다. 총자산은 $1,448,733(단위: 천 달러), 현금 및 현금성자산은 $25,033로 증가했고 예금은 $1,244,533로 늘어나 유동성을 뒷받침했습니다. 순이자수익(NII)은 분기 기준 $10,394로 전년 동기 $8,875에서 개선되어 6개월 누계 순이익은 $1,626(단위: 천 달러)로 전년 동기 $1,529에서 증가했으나, 해당 분기는 순손실 $282(단위: 천 달러)를 기록하며 마감했습니다.
회사는 분기 대손충당금이 $3,133로 급증(6개월 $3,036)했으며, 이는 주로 대형 혼합용도 CRE 문제대출에 대한 $280만 규모의 평가손 및 연초 이후 순대출손실 상각액이 $300만으로 증가한 데 따른 것입니다. 대출에 대한 대손충당금은 $14,060로 부실대출의 93%를 커버하고 2025년 6월 30일 기준 총대출의 1.32%를 차지했습니다. 투자 포트폴리오 관련 준비금도 증가하여 매도가능증권(AFS) 충당액이 $1,000로 늘었고 한 건의 AFS 유가증권은 여전히 이자미발생(non‑accrual) 상태였습니다.
요약하면, 은행은 예금과 NII에서의 강점을 보이며 배당을 위한 자본/지원 여력이 유지되고 있으나, 신용상태 악화와 높은 충당금으로 분기 순익이 크게 압박을 받았습니다.
AmeriServ Financial, Inc. a affiché un trimestre contrasté, porté par des rendements de base plus élevés mais des coûts du crédit sensiblement accrus. L'actif total s'élevait à $1,448,733 (en milliers), les liquidités et équivalents de trésorerie ont augmenté à $25,033 et les dépôts ont progressé à $1,244,533, soutenant la liquidité. Le produit net d'intérêts s'est amélioré pour atteindre $10,394 au trimestre contre $8,875 un an plus tôt, portant le résultat net sur six mois à $1,626 (en milliers) contre $1,529 l'année précédente, tandis que le trimestre s'est soldé par une perte nette de $282 (en milliers).
La société a enregistré une provision pour pertes sur prêts nettement supérieure de $3,133 pour le trimestre (six mois $3,036), principalement en raison d'une dépréciation de $2,8 millions sur un important prêt immobilier commercial (CRE) à usage mixte problématique et d'une hausse des radiations nettes sur prêts de $3,0 millions depuis le début de l'année. La provision pour pertes sur prêts s'élevait à $14,060, couvrant 93% des prêts non performants et représentant 1,32% du total des prêts au 30 juin 2025. Les réserves du portefeuille d'investissement ont augmenté, la provision pour titres disponibles à la vente (AFS) étant montée à $1,000 et un titre AFS étant resté en non‑accrual.
En bref, la banque affiche une solidité des dépôts et du NII et conserve des capitaux/soutien pour le dividende, mais la détérioration du crédit et les provisions élevées ont pesé de manière significative sur les résultats trimestriels.
AmeriServ Financial, Inc. meldete ein gemischtes Quartal, getragen von stärkeren Kernrenditen, aber deutlich höheren Kreditkosten. Die Gesamtvermögen beliefen sich auf $1,448,733 (in Tausend), liquiden Mittel stiegen auf $25,033 und Einlagen erhöhten sich auf $1,244,533, was die Liquidität unterstützt. Der Nettozinsertrag verbesserte sich im Quartal auf $10,394 gegenüber $8,875 ein Jahr zuvor, wodurch das Halbjahresergebnis auf $1,626 (in Tausend) stieg gegenüber $1,529 im Vorjahr, während das Quartal mit einem Nettoverlust von $282 (in Tausend) endete.
Das Unternehmen verzeichnete eine deutlich höhere Risikovorsorge für Kreditausfälle in Höhe von $3,133 für das Quartal (Sechsmonatswert $3,036), hauptsächlich bedingt durch eine $2,8 Mio. Abschreibung auf einen großen problematischen gewerblich genutzten Immobilienkredit (CRE) und höhere Nettoabschreibungen auf Kredite von $3,0 Mio. seit Jahresbeginn. Die Rückstellung für Kreditverluste bei Darlehen belief sich auf $14,060 und deckte 93% der notleidenden Kredite ab, was 1,32% der Gesamtforderungen zum 30. Juni 2025 entspricht. Die Reserven im Anlageportfolio stiegen ebenfalls an, die AFS‑Rückstellung erhöhte sich auf $1,000 und ein AFS‑Wertpapier verblieb im Non‑Accrual.
Kurz: Die Bank zeigt Stärke bei Einlagen und im NII und verfügt weiterhin über Kapital/Unterstützung für eine Dividende, aber die Kreditverschlechterung und erhöhte Vorsorgen haben das Quartalsergebnis erheblich belastet.

- Sharp rise in credit costs: provision for credit losses of $3,133 in Q2 (six months $3,036) versus much lower prior‑year amounts
- Large problem asset realization: $2.8 million charge‑down on a mixed‑use CRE loan contributed materially to provisions and charge‑offs

Insights
TL;DR NII and deposits improved, but a large loan charge and higher provisions offset earnings in Q2.
AmeriServ delivered stronger net interest income—Q2 NII of $10,394 (in thousands)—and deposit growth to $1,244,533, supporting funding and liquidity. The six‑month result was a modest profit of $1,626, and the company continued cash dividends totaling $0.06 per share year‑to‑date. However, the quarter recorded a net loss of $282 after a $3,133 provision for credit losses. The mixed operating picture implies core earnings are improving but are currently absorbed by elevated credit costs.
TL;DR Credit risk increased materially: a major CRE charge, higher charge‑offs, and AFS reserve build are notable negatives.
The company recorded a $2.8 million charge‑down related to a mixed‑use CRE problem asset and experienced net loan charge‑offs of $3.0 million in the first six months. Nonperforming assets rose to $15.4 million, and loan loss coverage fell to 93% of nonperforming loans. Additionally, an AFS corporate security was fully reserved (AFS allowance increased to $1,000). These items represent meaningful credit deterioration and elevated near‑term loss risk.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmeriServ Financial, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, AmeriServ Financial Bank (the Bank). The Bank is a Pennsylvania state-chartered full-service bank with
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).
2. Basis of Preparation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. They are not, however, necessarily indicative of the results of consolidated operations for a full-year.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
3. 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
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 $ |

Table of Contents
| 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 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 account 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 following presents non-interest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands).

5. 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 $
6. 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 the second quarter of 2025, the Company established a $
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 taxable 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 of
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 (recovery) for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Accrued interest receivable on held to maturity debt securities totaled $
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 the specific circumstances surrounding the security. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses on the available for sale securities portfolio totaled $
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 (recovery) 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.

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 June 30, 2025, the Company had low premium risk as the book value of our mortgage-backed securities purchased at a premium was only
Contractual maturities of securities at June 30, 2025 are shown below (in thousands).

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,

7. 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. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $
The segments of the Company’s loan portfolio are disaggregated into classes that allow management to monitor risk and performance. The loan classes used are consistent with the internal reports evaluated by the Company’s management and Board of Directors to monitor risk and performance within various segments of its loan portfolio. The commercial loan segment includes both the owner occupied commercial real estate loan and the commercial and industrial loan classes. The commercial real estate loan segment includes the non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan classes of retail, multi-family, and other. The residential mortgage loan segment is comprised of first lien amortizing residential mortgage loans while the consumer loan segment consists primarily of home equity loans secured by residential real estate, installment loans, and overdraft lines of credit associated with customer deposit accounts.
The loan portfolio of the Company consists of the following (in thousands):

8. 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, that 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 allows 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.
The following tables summarize the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses by loan portfolio segment for the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands).

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,
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 $
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 method. 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.

Table of Contents
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.

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.

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 $
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 $

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

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. |

11. 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
30
Table of Contents
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 in regulatory capital. As of June 30, 2025, 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.

12. 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 can use 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 debt, which converts the debt to variable rates and by hedging the cash flow variability associated with certain variable rate debt by converting the debt 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.
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 16.
The following table summarizes the interest rate swap transactions that impacted the Company’s first six months of 2025 and 2024 performance (in thousands, except percentages).

Risk Participation Agreements
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 agrees 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.
32
Table of Contents
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 16. The notional amount of the risk participation agreements outstanding at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $
Interest Rate Hedges
The Company has entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $
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 16. 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 the periods ended June 30, 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 three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $

13. 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 has

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.
14. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company had various outstanding commitments to extend credit approximating $
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 (recovery) 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 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 of $
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.

The Company implemented a soft freeze of its defined benefit pension plan to provide that non-union employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 and union employees hired on or after January 1, 2014 are not eligible to participate in the pension plan. Instead, such employees are eligible to participate in a qualified 401(k) plan. This change was made to help reduce pension costs in future periods.
16. Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of these equity securities was $
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 tables present the assets and liabilities measured and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis at their fair value as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had
Other real estate owned is measured at fair value based on appraisals or Company prepared property evaluations, 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.

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) 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for the remaining financial instruments not required to be reported at fair value were as follows:

The Company reported a second quarter 2025 net loss of $282,000, or $0.02 per diluted common share. This performance represented a $93,000 improvement from the second quarter of 2024 when the net loss totaled $375,000, or $0.02 per diluted common share. The resolution of our largest problem loan in the second quarter of 2025 resulted in an increased provision for credit losses which caused the modest loss reported for the quarter. Nevertheless, the Company again achieved positive operating leverage in the second quarter of 2025 as total revenue increased while non-interest expenses declined. The increase in total revenue was caused by meaningful improvement in net interest income as the second quarter net interest margin increased by 36-basis points from the prior year’s second quarter leading to a $1.5 million increase in net interest income.
…..NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN…..The Company’s net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income is a primary source of the Company’s earnings, and it is affected by interest rate fluctuations as well as changes in the amount and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

The Company's net interest income in the second quarter of 2025 increased by $1.5 million, or 17.1%, from the prior year's second quarter while the net interest margin of 3.10% for the second quarter of 2025 represented a 36-basis point improvement from the second quarter of 2024. The increase reflects controlled balance sheet growth, as both total loans and total deposits were at higher levels due to the Company’s effective business development strategies. This, combined with effective pricing strategies, resulted in both the total earning asset yield and cost of interest-bearing funds improving between years. The Federal Reserve’s action to lower short-term interest rates during the latter portion of 2024 favorably impacted total interest-bearing deposits and borrowings costs. In addition, while the U.S. Treasury yield curve remained modestly inverted on the short end, the mid to long end of the curve demonstrated higher yields and a steeper upward slope which favorably impacted earning asset yields. Management believes that the Company’s balance sheet is well positioned for further quarterly net interest income growth and net interest margin improvement.
Total average loans in the second quarter of 2025 were higher than the 2024 second quarter average by $39.5 million, or 3.8%, due to consistent new loan funding opportunities throughout 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, new loan originations exceeded payoff activity and resulted in total loan volumes, on an end of period basis, increasing since March 31, 2025. Overall, total loans continue to be well above the $1.0 billion threshold, averaging $1.069 billion for the second quarter of 2025. Total loan interest income improved in the second quarter of 2025 compared to last year’s second quarter due to the increased level of average total loans outstanding, and a portion of commercial real estate (CRE) loans, that were booked at the onset of the COVID pandemic when interest rates were low, have been repricing upward during 2025. These favorable items resulted in total loan interest income improving by $929,000, or 6.6%, when the 2025 second quarter is compared to 2024.
Investment securities, including the available for sale, held to maturity, and trading portfolios, averaged $247.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, which was $9.3 million, or 3.9%, higher than the $237.8 million average for the second quarter of last year. The increase reflects the strengthening of the Company’s liquidity position during 2025 due to deposit growth. Therefore, more funds were available to invest in the securities portfolio during a time when security yields improved, making purchases more attractive. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company established an investment trading account which holds primarily U.S. Treasury and municipal (taxable and tax-exempt) securities. New investment security purchases were also necessary to replace cash flow from maturing securities to maintain appropriate balances for pledging purposes related to public funds deposits. The increased level of average investment securities along with improved yields for new securities purchases caused interest income from investments to increase by $136,000, or 5.6%, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Overall, the average balance of total interest earning assets increased from last year’s second quarter average by $55.9 million, or 4.4%, while total interest income increased by $1.2 million or 7.1%, from the second quarter of 2024.
On the liability side of the balance sheet, total average deposits of $1.240 billion for the second quarter of 2025 were $77.3 million, or 6.6%, higher than the 2024 second quarter average. The increase reflects the Company’s successful business development efforts. Additionally, the Company’s core deposit base continued to demonstrate the strength and stability that it has for many years due to customer loyalty and confidence in AmeriServ Financial Bank. The Company does not utilize brokered deposits as a funding source. The loan to deposit ratio averaged 86.2% in the second quarter of 2025, which indicates that the Company has ample capacity to continue to grow its loan portfolio and is well positioned to support its customers and community during times of economic volatility.
Total interest expense in the second quarter of 2025 favorably decreased by $340,000, or 4.5%, when compared to the second quarter of 2024. Deposit interest expense declined by $19,000, or 0.3%, despite total average interest-bearing deposits growing by $80.4 million, or 8.2%, compared to the second quarter of last year. The quarter-over-quarter

Table of Contents
decrease in deposit interest expense reflects the benefit of the Federal Reserve easing monetary policy during the final four months of 2024. This reduction in interest-bearing deposit costs contributed to the previously mentioned improvement in the net interest margin. Overall, total deposit cost (including the benefit of non-interest-bearing demand deposits which decreased slightly between years) averaged 2.07% in the second quarter of 2025, which is a 14-basis point improvement from the second quarter of 2024.
Total borrowings interest expense decreased by $359,000, or 28.8%, for the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the second quarter of 2024. The Company’s utilization of overnight borrowed funds in the second quarter of 2025 was significantly lower than the 2024 second quarter level by $24.7 million, or 87.3%, due to the higher level of total average deposits. The decrease in borrowings interest expense also reflects the Federal Reserve’s 2024 action to ease monetary policy by 100 basis points which had an immediate and favorable impact on the cost of overnight borrowed funds. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank averaged $50.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, which was $229,000, or 0.5%, higher than the $50.7 million average for the 2024 second quarter. Management’s strategy to increase term advances to lock in lower rates than overnight borrowings was due to the inversion in the short end of the yield curve and has favorably impacted net interest income.
The table that follows provides an analysis of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis (non-GAAP) for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 setting forth (i) average assets, liabilities, and shareholders’ equity, (ii) interest income earned on interest earning assets and interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities, (iii) average yields earned on interest earning assets and average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities, (iv) the Company’s interest rate spread (the difference between the average yield earned on interest earning assets and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities), and (v) the Company’s net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average total interest earning assets). For purposes of this table, loan balances include non-accrual loans and interest income on loans includes loan fees or amortization of such fees which have been deferred. Regulatory stock is included within available for sale investment securities for this analysis. Additionally, a tax rate of 21% was used to compute tax-equivalent interest income and yields (non-GAAP). The tax equivalent adjustments to interest income on loans and trading securities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $14,000 and $6,000, respectively, which is reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure at the bottom of the table. Differences between the net interest spread and margin from a GAAP basis to a tax-equivalent basis were not material.

…..PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES…..The Company recorded a $3.1 million provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2025 after recording provision expense of $434,000 in the second quarter of 2024, resulting in an increase in expense of $2.7 million. The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2025 primarily reflects the resolution of the Company’s largest problem asset, a loan secured by a mixed use commercial real estate retail/office property in the Pittsburgh market. The provision covers an additional $2.8 million charge-down that was necessary to write this loan down to a court approved sales price at a hearing that was held in late June 2025. The second quarter 2025

provision for credit losses also reflects an increase in historical loss rates, due to this large charge-down, used to calculate the allowance for loan credit losses.
…..NON-INTEREST INCOME…..Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $4.1 million and decreased by $276,000, or 6.3%, from the second quarter of 2024 performance. Factors contributing to the lower level of non-interest income for the quarter included:
| ● | wealth management fees decreased by $277,000, or 9.1%, due to the volatility and uncertainty that existed in the financial markets due to government fiscal policy. Additionally, the Financial Services division benefitted from a strong performance during 2024 that resulted from new business growth. |
…..NON-INTEREST EXPENSE…..Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $11.7 million and decreased by $1.6 million, or 11.9%, from the prior year’s second quarter. Factors contributing to the lower level of non-interest expense for the quarter included:
| ● | a $1.2 million, or 56.9%, decrease in professional fees as 2024 legal and professional services costs were unfavorably impacted by litigation and responses to the actions of an activist investor. This matter was resolved in June 2024 as a result of a Settlement Agreement; and |
| ● | a $450,000, or 40.9%, decrease in other expense driven primarily by the Company having to recognize a $376,000 pension settlement charge in the second quarter of 2024 while no such charge was required in 2025. |
…..INCOME TAX EXPENSE…..The Company recorded a credit for income taxes of $70,000 in the second quarter of 2025. This compares to a credit for income taxes of $109,000 for the second quarter of 2024.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $1,626,000, or $0.10 per diluted common share. This represented an 11.1% increase in earnings per share from the six-month period of 2024 when net income totaled $1,529,000, or $0.09 per diluted common share. The Company achieved positive operating leverage in both quarters of 2025 as total revenue increased while non-interest expenses declined. The increase in total revenue was caused by meaningful improvement in net interest income as the net interest margin increased by 34-basis points for the first six months of 2025. Additionally, our non-interest expense has favorably declined in both quarters of 2025 as management works to carefully control operating costs.
Unfavorably impacting earnings was the Company recognizing a significantly higher provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2025 when compared to the same time period of 2024. Also, non-interest income was lower than what was recognized last year. Overall, the improvement in the Company’s performance including increased net interest income and lower total non-interest expense more than offset the higher provision for credit losses and lower level of non-interest income resulting in earnings through six months of 2025 exceeding earnings through the first six months of 2024 by $97,000, or 6.3%.

The Company's net interest income for the first six months of 2025 increased by $2.7 million, or 15.3%, when compared to the first six months of 2024. The Company’s net interest margin of 3.06% for the six months of 2025 represents a 34-basis point increase. As previously discussed for the quarterly comparison, the increase reflects controlled balance sheet growth, as both total loans and total deposits are at higher levels due to management’s effective business development strategies. This, combined with effective pricing strategies, resulted in both the total earning asset yield and cost of interest-bearing funds improving between years. The Federal Reserve’s action to lower short-term interest rates during the latter portion of 2024 favorably impacted total interest-bearing deposits and borrowings costs. Also, while the U.S. Treasury yield curve remains modestly inverted on the short end, yields in the mid to long end of the curve are higher and demonstrated a steeper upward slope which favorably impacted earning asset yields. Management believes the net interest margin will continue to improve through the second half of 2025.
Total average loans in the first six months of 2025 grew from the 2024 six-month average by $37.2 million, or 3.6%, due to consistent new loan funding opportunities throughout 2024. So far in 2025, loan originations modestly exceed payoff activity and resulted in an $811,000, or 0.1%, increase in total loans since December 31, 2024. Total loan interest income improved in the first half of 2025 compared to the first half of 2024 due to the increased level of average total loans outstanding, and a portion of commercial real estate (CRE) loans, that were booked at the onset of the COVID pandemic when interest rates were low, have been repricing upward during the first six months of 2025. These favorable items resulted in total loan interest income improving by $1.7 million, or 6.0%, when the first half of 2025 is compared to first half of 2024.
Total investment securities averaged $236.8 million for the first half of 2025, which was $1.5 million, or 0.6%, lower than the $238.3 million average for the first half of 2024. The decrease reflects management’s 2024 strategy to allocate more cash flow from the securities portfolio to higher yielding loans while the Company controlled the amount of high cost overnight borrowed funds. However, our liquidity position strengthened during the first six months of 2025 due to deposit growth. Therefore, as previously discussed for the quarterly comparison, more funds were available to invest in the securities portfolio during a time when security yields improved, making purchases more attractive. As a result, the securities portfolio grew by $17.9 million, or 8.1%, since December 31, 2024. The improved yields for new securities purchases caused interest income from investments to increase by $155,000, or 3.2%, for the first six months of 2025 compared to last year’s first six months. Overall, through six months, the average balance of total interest earning assets increased from last year’s average by $45.5 million, or 3.6%, while total interest income increased by $2.0 million, or 6.0%, from the first half of 2024.
On the liability side of the balance sheet, total average deposits through the first six months of 2025 were $67.8 million, or 5.8%, higher when compared to the first six months of 2024 due to the Company’s successful business development efforts. Additionally, as previously mentioned, the Company’s core deposit base continues to demonstrate the strength and stability that it has for many years demonstrating what we believe is customer loyalty and confidence in AmeriServ Financial Bank. The Company does not utilize brokered deposits as a funding source.
Total interest expense favorably decreased by $726,000, or 4.8%, for the first half of 2025 when compared to the same time period of 2024. Deposit interest expense declined by $56,000, or 0.4%, through the first six months of 2025 despite total average interest-bearing deposits growing by $68.7 million, or 7.0%, compared to the first six months of last year. The year to date decrease in deposit interest expense reflects total interest-bearing deposit cost demonstrating a declining trend that coincided with the Federal Reserve easing monetary policy during the final four months of 2024. Overall, total deposit cost (including the benefit of non-interest-bearing demand deposits which remained relatively
45
Table of Contents
stable between years) averaged 2.06% in the first half of 2025, which is a 12-basis point improvement from the first half of 2024.
Total borrowings interest expense declined by $670,000, or 26.5%, for the first six months of 2025 when compared to the same time period of 2024. The Company’s utilization of overnight borrowed funds in the first half of 2025 was significantly lower than the first half of 2024 by $26.0 million, or 83.8%, due to the higher level of total average deposits. The decrease in borrowings interest expense also reflects the Federal Reserve’s 2024 action to ease monetary policy by 100 basis points which had an immediate and favorable impact on the cost of overnight borrowed funds. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank averaged $52.9 million for the first half of 2025, which is $3.6 million, or 7.3%, higher than the $49.3 million average for the first half of 2024. Management’s strategy to increase term advances to lock in lower rates than overnight borrowings was due to the inversion in the short end of the yield curve and has favorably impacted net interest income.
The table that follows provides an analysis of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis (non-GAAP) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. For a detailed discussion of the components and assumptions included in the table, see the paragraph before the quarterly table on page 42. The tax equivalent adjustments to interest income on loans and trading securities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $21,000 and $12,000, respectively, which is reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure at the bottom of the table. Differences between the net interest spread and margin from a GAAP basis to a tax-equivalent basis were not material.

…..PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES…..For the first six months of 2025, the Company recognized a $3.0 million provision for credit losses after recognizing a provision recovery of $123,000 in the first six months of 2024, resulting in a net unfavorable change of $3.2 million. The provision for credit losses in 2025 primarily reflects the resolution of the Company’s largest problem asset, a loan secured by a mixed use commercial real estate retail/office property in the Pittsburgh market. The provision covers an additional $2.8 million charge-down that was necessary to write this loan down to a court approved sales price. The 2025 provision for credit losses also reflects an increase in historical loss rates, due to this large charge-down, used to calculate the allowance for loan credit losses. In addition, the
47
Table of Contents
Company recognized $636,000 of provision expense for the investment securities portfolio related to establishing a full reserve for an available for sale corporate security due to further credit deterioration after a partial reserve for this particular security was established last year. Partially offsetting these provision expenses was the recognition of a $720,000 provision recovery on unfunded commitments based primarily upon the results of an independent third-party validation recommendation to adjust the utilization rates used to calculate the provision.
…..NON-INTEREST INCOME…..Non-interest income for the first six months of 2025 totaled $8.2 million and declined by $1.1 million, or 11.8%, from the first six months of 2024 performance. Factors contributing to the lower level of non-interest income for the six-month period included:
| ● | wealth management fees decreased by $679,000, or 10.7%, due to the volatility and uncertainty that existed in the financial markets due to government fiscal policy, particularly earlier in 2025. While equity markets rebounded during the second quarter of 2025, the first quarter 2025 decline in major market indexes unfavorably impacted equity securities resulting in management fees declining. Additionally, the Financial Services division benefitted from several large new business relationships in 2024. Overall, the fair market value of wealth management assets totaled $2.6 billion at June 30, 2025 and increased by $24.7 million, or 1.0%, since December 31, 2024; |
| ● | a $285,000, or 16.9%, decrease in other income due to the Company recognizing a $250,000 signing bonus from the renewal of a contract with Visa during the first quarter of 2024 while there was no such bonus in 2025; |
| ● | a $69,000, or 12.0%, decrease in bank owned life insurance revenue resulting from the Company receiving a larger death claim in 2024; and |
| ● | a $60,000, or 41.1%, decrease in mortgage banking revenue due to a lower level of residential mortgage loan production in 2025. |
…..NON-INTEREST EXPENSE…..Non-interest expense for the first six months of 2025 totaled $23.5 million and decreased by $1.7 million, or 6.7%, from the prior year’s first six months. Factors contributing to the lower level of non-interest expense for the six-month period included:
| ● | a $1.5 million, or 48.7%, decrease in professional fees as 2024 legal and professional services costs were unfavorably impacted by litigation and responses to the actions of an activist investor. This matter was resolved in June 2024 as a result of a Settlement Agreement; |
| ● | a $504,000, or 28.6%, decrease in other expense driven primarily by the Company having to recognize a $376,000 pension settlement charge in 2024 while no such charge was required so far in 2025; |
| ● | a $104,000, or 4.5%, increase in data processing and IT expense due to additional expenses related to monitoring the Company’s computing and network environment; and |
| ● | a $74,000, or 0.5%, increase in salaries and employee benefits due to the net impact of certain items within this broad category. Health care costs were $332,000, or 22.2%, higher as the Company did not have to recognize any premium costs in January 2024 due to the effective negotiations with its health care provider last year. Total salaries cost increased by $177,000, or 1.8%, due to annual salary merit increases which were somewhat offset by a lower number of employees. Partially offsetting these higher costs within total salaries and employee benefits was a reduced level of incentive compensation by $393,000, or 45.1%, largely in the Wealth Management division. |
…..INCOME TAX EXPENSE…..The Company recorded an income tax expense of $408,000, or an effective tax rate of 20.1%, in the first six months of 2025. This compares to an income tax expense of $374,000, or an effective tax rate of 19.7%, for the first six months of 2024. The higher level of income tax expense this year was due to the increased level of pre-tax income.

…..BALANCE SHEET…..The Company’s total consolidated assets were $1.4 billion at June 30, 2025, which increased by $26.4 million, or 1.9%, from the December 31, 2024 asset level. This change was related primarily to higher levels of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities which were partially offset by reduced other real estate owned (OREO) and repossessed assets. Investment securities, including held to maturity, available for sale and trading, increased by $22.1 million, or 10.1%, as the Company’s liquidity position strengthened during the first six months of 2025 allowing more funds to be available to invest in the securities portfolio. Further, during the second quarter of 2025, the Company established an investment trading account which holds primarily U.S. Treasury and municipal (taxable and tax-exempt) securities. The increased liquidity also resulted in cash and cash equivalents increasing by $7.3 million, or 41.1%. OREO and repossessed assets decreased $1.5 million, or 85.0%, since year-end due primarily to the sale of a foreclosed office property during the first quarter of 2025.
Total deposits increased by $43.5 million, or 3.6%, in the first six months of 2025. Management believes this demonstrates customer confidence and the strength and loyalty of the Company’s core deposit base. As of June 30, 2025, the 25 largest depositors represented 27.2% of total deposits, which remained relative stable from December 31, 2024 when it was 27.6%. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated amount of uninsured deposits was $468.7 million and $435.7 million, respectively. The estimate of uninsured deposits was done at the single account level and does not take into account total customer balances in the Bank. It should be noted that approximately 60% of these uninsured deposits relate to public funds from municipalities, government entities, and school districts which by law are required to be collateralized by investment securities or FHLB letters of credit to protect these depositor funds. Total short-term and FHLB borrowings were reduced by $19.1 million, or 27.0%, since year-end 2024 as a result of the higher level of deposits. Specifically, short-term borrowings decreased by $12.0 million, or 81.6%, while FHLB term advances decreased $7.1 million, or 12.7%, in the first six months of 2025.
The Company’s total shareholders’ equity increased by $3.7 million, or 3.4%, during the first six months of 2025. The increase in capital was the result of the Company’s earnings performance during the first half of 2025 more than offsetting its common stock dividend payments to shareholders. In addition, the improved market value of the available for sale investment securities portfolio had a positive impact on accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The Bank continues to be considered well capitalized for regulatory purposes with a total capital ratio of 12.14% and a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 10.94% at June 30, 2025. See the discussion of the Basel III capital requirements under the Capital Resources section below. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s book value per common share was $6.71 and its tangible book value per common share was $5.89(1). Book value per common share increased by $0.43, or 6.8%, and tangible book value per common share increased by $0.44, or 8.1%, since June 30, 2024, due to a favorable adjustment for both the unrealized loss on available for sale securities and the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. In addition, the Company’s equity to asset ratio was 7.66% and its tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.78%(1) at June 30, 2025. The tangible common equity ratio increased by 14-basis points when compared to December 31, 2024.

(2) | Total classified loans include non-performing residential mortgage and consumer loans. |
The decrease in accruing loan delinquency since year-end 2024 was attributable to a lower level of delinquency within all segments of the loan portfolio. Specifically, two commercial loans from one borrower relationship were transferred to non-accrual during the first half of 2025 which significantly contributed to the decrease in accruing loan delinquency. Non-performing loans increased from $10.9 million at December 31, 2024 to $15.2 million at June 30, 2025 due to the transfer of one CRE loan and three C&I loans from one borrower relationship and one additional CRE loan into non-accrual status which more than offset the charge-down of a CRE loan secured by a mixed use commercial real estate property. The aforementioned charge-down of a CRE loan contributed to a decrease in classified loans. Specifically, classified loans decreased $2.4 million, or 10.1%, from December 31, 2024 and totaled $21.2 million at June 30, 2025.
Non-performing loans represented 1.42% of total loans as of June 30, 2025. The Company recognized net loan charge-offs of $3.0 million, or 0.56% of total average loans, in the first six months of 2025 compared to net loan charge-offs of $332,000, or 0.06% of total average loans, in the first six months of 2024.
We also continue to closely monitor the loan portfolio given the number of relatively large-sized commercial and commercial real estate loans within the portfolio. As of June 30, 2025, the 25 largest credits represented 23.9% of total loans outstanding, which is relatively consistent with December 31, 2024 when it was 24.0%.
Commercial Real Estate Loan Exposure
A significant portion of the Company's loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans, including owner occupied properties, non-owner-occupied properties, and other commercial properties. These types of loans are generally viewed as having more risk of default than residential real estate loans and depend on cash flows from the owner’s business or the property’s tenants to service the debt. The borrower’s cash flows may be affected significantly by general economic conditions, a downturn in the local economy or in occupancy rates in the market where the property is located, any of which could increase the likelihood of default. Commercial real estate loans also typically have larger loan balances, and therefore, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in the percentage of the Company's non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for credit losses for loans, and an increase in charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The banking regulatory agencies have recently expressed concerns about weaknesses in the current commercial real estate market. Banking regulators generally give commercial real estate lending greater scrutiny and may require banks with higher levels of commercial real estate loans to implement enhanced risk management practices, including stricter underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies, more granular reporting, and portfolio stress testing, as well as possibly higher levels of allowances for credit losses and capital levels as a result of commercial real estate lending growth and exposures. If the Company's banking regulators determine that our commercial real estate lending activities are particularly risky and are subject to such heightened scrutiny, the Company may incur significant additional costs or be required to restrict certain of our commercial real estate lending activities. Furthermore, failures in the Company's risk management policies, procedures and controls could adversely affect our ability to manage this portfolio going forward and could result in an increased rate of delinquencies in, and increased losses from, this portfolio, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
There is a particular regulatory emphasis on ensuring that a subsidiary bank has appropriate levels of capital to support its non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan concentration, which for the Bank stood at 378% as of June 30, 2025. It should be noted that this ratio improved slightly from 379% at December 31, 2024 due to the growth of total regulatory capital in the first six months of 2025. Further, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans represented 51.7% and 51.3% of total loans as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The commercial real estate loan segment includes the non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan classes of retail, multi-family, and other. The following table presents our non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan portfolio by property type.

…..ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES…..The following table sets forth the allowance for credit losses and certain ratios for the periods ended (in thousands, except percentages):

Allowance for credit losses - loans | | $ | 14,060 | | $ | 13,912 | | $ | 14,611 | |
Allowance for credit losses - loans as a percentage of each of the following: | |
|
| |
|
| | | | |
total loans, net of unearned income | |
| 1.32 | % |
| 1.30 | % | | 1.41 | % |
total non-accrual loans | |
| 99.43 | |
| 128.70 | | | 146.46 | |
total non-performing loans | |
| 92.74 | |
| 127.25 | | | 132.66 | |
Allowance for credit losses - securities | | $ | 1,085 | | $ | 449 | | $ | 460 | |
Allowance for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments | | | 246 | |
| 966 | | | 939 | |
The allowance for loan credit losses increased since December 31, 2024 by $148,000, or 1.1%, to $14.1 million at June 30, 2025. The allowance balance grew as a result of increased historical loss rates caused by charge-off activity coupled with increased outstanding loan balances since year-end 2024. Overall, the Company continues to maintain solid coverage of both total loans and non-performing loans as the allowance for loan credit losses provided 93% coverage of non-performing loans and 1.32% of total loans at June 30, 2025.
The allowance for credit losses on the investment securities portfolio was comprised of $1.0 million on available for sale securities and $85,000 on held to maturity securities as of June 30, 2025. This compares to $360,000 on available for sale securities and $89,000 on held to maturity securities as of December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities increased $640,000 since year-end 2024 as a result of the establishment of a full reserve for a corporate security due to further credit deterioration after a partial reserve for this particular security was established last year.
…..LIQUIDITY…..The Company’s liquidity position strengthened during the first half of 2025 due to deposit growth. Total average deposits were $67.8 million, or 5.8%, higher when compared to the 2024 first six-month average. The increase reflects the Company’s successful business development efforts. The Company’s core deposit base continued to demonstrate the strength and stability that it has had for many years. On June 30, 2025, total deposits grew by $43.5 million, or 3.6%, since December 31, 2024, demonstrating customer loyalty and confidence in AmeriServ Financial Bank. In addition to its loyal core deposit base, the Company has several other sources of liquidity, including a significant unused borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), overnight lines of credit at correspondent banks and access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The Company does not utilize brokered deposits as a funding source. Overall, deposit volumes continue to remain at a high level. The core deposit base is adequate to fund the Company’s operations. Cash flow from maturities, prepayments and amortization of securities can also be used to help fund loan growth.
Further demonstrating the strength of the Company’s liquidity position, average short-term investments grew in the first six months of 2025 compared to the first six months of last year by $7.3 million, or 192.8%. Advances from the FHLB averaged $52.9 million in the first half of 2025 which is $3.6 million, or 7.3%, higher than the $49.3 million average in the first half of 2024. Management’s strategy to increase term advances to lock in lower rates than overnight borrowings due to the inversion in the short end of the yield curve has favorably impacted net interest income. Management continues to monitor the changing economic conditions and adjust pricing strategies accordingly which largely determines customer behavior and the level of total deposits as well as shifts within the total deposit mix. Also, diligent monitoring and management of our short-term investment position and our level of overnight borrowed funds remains a priority. Given the high cost of overnight borrowed funds, management has been effectively controlling the usage of this funding source. The Company’s utilization of overnight borrowed funds so far in 2025 has been lower than the 2024 level. Total short-term borrowings averaged $5.0 million for the first six months of 2025 after averaging $31.0 million for the first six months of 2024. Continued loan growth and prudent investment in securities are critical to achieve the best return on the normal level of earning asset cash flow that occurs each month. Due to the Company’s strengthened liquidity position, more funds were available to invest in the securities portfolio during a time when security yields improved, making purchases so far in 2025 more attractive. In addition, loan pipelines are currently at a typical level. Total average loans in the first six months of 2025 were higher than the 2024 first six-month average by
52
Table of Contents
$37.2 million, or 3.6%. We strive to operate our loan to deposit ratio in a range of 80% to 100%. The Company’s loan to deposit ratio averaged 86.2% in the second quarter of 2025, which indicates that the Company has ample capacity to continue to grow its loan portfolio and is well positioned to support its customers and community during times of economic volatility. We are also strongly positioned to service the existing loan pipeline and grow the loan to deposit ratio while remaining within the guideline parameters.
Liquidity can also be analyzed by utilizing the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $7.3 million from December 31, 2024, to $25.0 million at June 30, 2025, due to $23.4 million of net cash provided by financing activities and $537,000 of net cash provided by operating activities more than offsetting $16.6 million of net cash used in investing activities. Within investing activities, cash advanced for new loans originated totaled $73.8 million while cash received from loan principal payments was $69.7 million leading to a net increase in loans of $4.0 million. Within financing activities, total short-term borrowings decreased by $12.0 million, total borrowings on advances from FHLB decreased by $7.1 million while total deposits increased by $43.5 million.
The holding company had $4.7 million of cash, short-term investments, and investment securities at June 30, 2025, which represented a $2.1 million decrease from the holding company’s cash position since December 31, 2024. Dividend payments from our subsidiary provide ongoing cash to the holding company. At June 30, 2025, our subsidiary Bank had $1.1 million of cash available for immediate dividends to the holding company under applicable regulatory formulas. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2025, the holding company established a $3 million line of credit with PNC Bank which can be used for general corporate purposes. There were no borrowings under the line at June 30, 2025. Overall, we believe that the holding company has sufficient liquidity to meet its subordinated debt interest payments and its dividend payments on its common stock.
Financial institutions must maintain liquidity to meet day-to-day requirements of depositors and borrowers, take advantage of market opportunities, and provide a cushion against unforeseen needs. Liquidity needs can be met by either reducing assets or increasing liabilities. Sources of asset liquidity are provided by short-term investments, interest bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold. These assets totaled $24.1 million and $17.7 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Maturing and repaying loans, as well as the monthly cash flow associated with mortgage-backed securities and security maturities are other significant sources of asset liquidity for the Company.
Liability liquidity can be met by attracting deposits with competitive rates, using repurchase agreements, buying federal funds, or utilizing the facilities of the Federal Reserve or the FHLB systems. The Company utilizes a variety of these methods of liability liquidity. Additionally, the Company’s subsidiary bank is a member of the FHLB, which provides the opportunity to obtain short-term to longer-term advances based upon the Company’s investment in certain residential mortgage, commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans. At June 30, 2025, the Company had $297 million of overnight borrowing availability at the FHLB, $41 million of short-term borrowing availability at the Federal Reserve Bank and $35 million of unsecured federal funds lines with correspondent banks. The Company believes it has ample liquidity available to fund outstanding loan commitments if they were fully drawn upon.
…..CAPITAL RESOURCES…..The Bank exceeds all regulatory capital ratios for each of the periods presented and is considered well capitalized. The Bank’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 10.94%, the tier 1 capital ratio was 10.94%, and the total capital ratio was 12.14% at June 30, 2025. The Bank’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.12% at June 30, 2025. We anticipate that we will maintain our strong capital ratios throughout the remainder of 2025.
The Basel III capital standards establish the minimum capital levels in addition to the well capitalized requirements under the federal banking regulations prompt corrective action. The capital rules also impose a 2.5% capital conservation buffer (CCB) on top of the three minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. Banking institutions that fail to meet the effective minimum ratios once the CCB is taken into account will be subject to constraints on capital distributions, including dividends and share repurchases, and certain discretionary executive compensation. The severity of the constraints depends on the amount of the shortfall and the institution’s “eligible retained income” (four quarter trailing net income, net of distributions and tax effects not reflected in net income). The Company and the Bank meet all capital requirements, including the CCB, and continue to be committed to maintaining strong capital levels that exceed regulatory requirements while also supporting balance sheet growth and providing a return to our shareholders.

Our focus is on preserving capital to support customer lending and allow the Company to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise. We currently believe that we have sufficient capital and earnings power to continue to pay our common stock cash dividend at its current rate of $0.03 per quarter. The Company had a book value of $6.71 per common share and a tangible book value of $5.89(1) per common share on June 30, 2025. In addition, our common equity ratio was 7.66% and our tangible common equity ratio was 6.78%(1). At June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately 16.5 million common shares outstanding.

…..INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY…..The following table presents an analysis of the sensitivity inherent in the Company’s net interest income and market value of portfolio equity. The interest rate scenarios in the table compare the Company’s base forecast, which was prepared using a flat interest rate scenario, to scenarios that reflect immediate interest rate changes of 100 and 200 basis points. Each rate scenario contains unique prepayment and repricing assumptions that are applied to the Company’s existing balance sheet that was developed under the flat interest rate scenario.

The Company believes that its overall interest rate risk position is well controlled. The execution of $70 million of interest rate hedges during 2023, in order to fix the cost of certain deposits that are indexed and move with short-term interest rates, reduced the Company’s negative variability of net interest income in a rising interest rate environment and helped slow net interest margin compression while interest rates were rising. The fed funds rate is unchanged from year-end 2024 and is currently at a targeted range of 4.25% to 4.50%. The Federal Reserve has not taken further action to change interest rates so far in 2025.
The variability of net interest income is positive in the upward rate shocks due to scheduled maturities and repricing within the Company’s investment securities portfolio and the scheduled repricing of loans tied to an index, such as SOFR or prime. In addition to the interest rate hedges discussed above, the Company has effectively utilized interest rate swaps for interest rate risk management purposes. The interest rate swaps allow our customers to lock in fixed interest rates while the Company retains the benefit of interest rates moving with the market. Also, the Company will continue its disciplined approach to price its core deposit accounts in a controlled but competitive manner and control the amount of overnight borrowed funds. The variability of net interest income is negative in the downward rate scenarios as the Company has more exposure to assets repricing downward to a greater extent than liabilities. The market value of portfolio equity increases in the upward rate shocks due to the improved value of the Company’s core deposit base. Negative variability of market value of portfolio equity occurs in the downward rate shocks due to a reduced value for core deposits.
…..OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS…..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
54
Table of Contents
of credit risk. The Company had various outstanding commitments to extend credit approximating $253.3 million and standby letters of credit of $7.9 million as of June 30, 2025. 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.
…..RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES…..This document contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per share are considered to be non-GAAP measures and are calculated by dividing tangible common equity by tangible assets or shares outstanding. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors that is useful in understanding its financial condition. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures, and, because not all companies use the same calculation of tangible common equity and tangible assets, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures calculated by other companies.
The following table sets forth the calculation of the Company’s tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per share at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands, except share and ratio data):

…..CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES…..The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Accounting and reporting policies for the pension liability, allowance for credit losses (related to investment securities, loans, and unfunded commitments), and derivatives (interest rate swaps/hedges) are deemed critical because they involve the use of estimates and require significant management judgments. Application of assumptions different than those used by the Company could result in material changes in the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
ACCOUNT — Pension liability
BALANCE SHEET REFERENCE — Other assets
INCOME STATEMENT REFERENCE — Salaries and employee benefits and Other expense
DESCRIPTION
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 cost in a particular year. Our pension benefits are described further in Note 15 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents
ACCOUNT — Allowance for Credit Losses
BALANCE SHEET REFERENCE — Investment securities, net of allowance for credit losses, Allowance for credit losses – loans, Other liabilities
INCOME STATEMENT REFERENCE — Provision (recovery) for credit losses
DESCRIPTION
The Company measures the current expected credit losses (CECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and held to maturity (HTM) securities, and off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments. In addition, ASC 326 requires credit losses on available for sale (AFS) debt securities to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down when management does not intend to sell or believes that it is not more likely than not, they will be required to sell the security.
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 taxable 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 of no credit losses. As such, no allowance for credit losses has been established for these securities. The allowance for credit losses on the taxable 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. Based on management judgment, certain qualitative adjustments, such as the Company’s historical loss experience and/or the issuer’s credit quality, may be applied.
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 the specific circumstances surrounding the security.
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.
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 calculated with the objective of maintaining reserve levels believed by management to be sufficient to absorb current expected credit losses. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the credit portfolio and other relevant factors. However, this quarterly evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates. This process also considers economic conditions, for a reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provision for credit losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.

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 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.
ACCOUNT — Derivatives (interest rate swaps/hedges)
BALANCE SHEET REFERENCE — Other assets and Other liabilities
INCOME STATEMENT REFERENCE — Other income
DESCRIPTION
The Company periodically enters into derivative instruments to meet the financing, interest rate and equity risk management needs of its customers or the Bank.
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 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.
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. 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.

We try to return earnings to shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases (though none are currently authorized) subject to maintaining sufficient capital to support balance sheet growth and economic uncertainty. We strive to educate our employee base as to the meaning/importance of earnings per share as a performance measure. Our goal is to develop a value added combination for increasing revenue and controlling expenses that is rooted in developing and offering high-quality financial products and services; an existing branch network; electronic banking capabilities with 24/7 convenience; and providing truly exceptional customer service. We explore branch consolidation opportunities and further leverage union affiliated revenue streams, prudently manage the Company’s risk profile to improve asset yields and increase profitability and continue to identify and implement technological opportunities and advancements to drive efficiency for the holding company and its affiliates. |
