Chair, President and CEO Rory G. Ritrievi provided the following statement:

"It is with great pleasure that we announce our first quarter of 2025 performance, which in many ways is a continuation of what we were able to accomplish in 2024.

Despite a fairly tumultuous quarter for the nation and most of the world, we delivered a solid beat of consensus estimates on earnings per share. That beat was the result of healthy net interest margin expansion, moderate growth in both loans and deposits, strong asset quality performance and an improvement in the efficiency ratio.

The net interest margin expansion was achieved by a decrease in deposit costs resulting from repricing initiatives started in the fourth quarter of 2024 and continuing through the first quarter of 2025.

Even while increasing revenues around 3% annualized, we decreased operating expenses over 3% annualized, resulting in a 110 basis point, or almost 7% annualized, improvement in the efficiency ratio. Solid expense management continues.

Our commercial and consumer bankers across our expanding footprint delivered a respectable organic growth rate of 4.4% (annualized) in loans and 3.7% (annualized) in deposits. Those growth rates are a little less than what we had hoped for the quarter, but we recognize that our borrower’s and depositors are influenced by what they feel and see in the overall economy. Their sentiment in the first quarter would be best described as cautious.

In early April, we announced that we had received all regulatory approvals for our planned merger with William Penn Bank as well as the enthusiastic approval of both shareholder groups. As a result, we expect that the William Penn merger will close in the middle of the second quarter of 2025. We welcome all the William Penn customers and shareholders in advance of the expected completion.

In consideration of our first quarter success, the Board has authorized its 58th consecutive quarterly dividend, a cash dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock, which was declared at its meeting on April 23, 2025, payable on May 26, 2025, to shareholders of record as of May 8, 2025."

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net interest income was $42.5 million, compared to net interest income of $41.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and $36.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was 3.37% compared to 3.21% and 2.97% for the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2024, respectively, representing a 16 basis point ("bp") increase from the fourth quarter of 2024, and a 40 bp increase compared to the same period in 2024.

The yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 5.65% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, from 5.67% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and increased from 5.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of Federal Funds Sold and a decrease in interest income from loans as a result of lower rates, partially offset by an increase in taxable investment securities. The increase from March 31, 2024, was due to assets continuing to reprice at higher rates during 2024 and 2025, continued discipline on new loan pricing, and an overall increase in the average balance of Fed Funds Sold.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net interest income increased 16.6% to $42.5 million compared to net interest income of $36.5 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in interest income on loans, a $420 thousand increase in income on investment securities, and a $4.2 million decrease in the interest paid on short term borrowings, offset by a $1.9 million increase in interest expense on deposits compared to the same period of 2024.

Average Balances

Average loans increased $18.2 million to $4.5 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4.4 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, and $4.3 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Average deposits were $4.7 billion for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a decrease of $6.2 million, or 0.1%, compared to total average deposits of $4.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024, and an increase of $369.6 million, or 8.6%, compared to total average deposits of $4.3 billion for the first quarter of 2024. The average cost of deposits was 2.45% for the first quarter of 2025, representing a 20 bp decrease and a 2 bp increase from the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2024, respectively. The Bank continues to face headwinds with respect to deposit pricing, given competition for deposits across all product types. Our primary focus with respect to deposit strategy is stability, ensuring that our rates are competitive, and our product mix satisfies the needs of our customers. Additionally, the Bank also maintains interest rate swaps to hedge the cash flow risk associated with existing brokered CDs, and to mitigate the impact of higher deposit costs. Cost of funds decreased to 2.48%, compared to 2.66% for the fourth quarter of 2024, as a result of a $2.6 million decrease in interest paid on interest-bearing deposit accounts due to the Bank lowering rates in response to the Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in the third and fourth quarters of 2024.

Asset Quality

The total provision for credit losses, including provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, was $301 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $32 thousand compared to the provision for credit losses of $333 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and a $1.2 million increase compared to the benefit for credit losses of $937 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease from the three months ended December 31, 2024, was driven by decreases in loss rates across multiple segments of the portfolio, offset by increased reserves on individually evaluated loans. Net recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $3 thousand or less than 0.0001% of total average loans.

The provision for credit losses on loans was $321 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $940 thousand compared to the benefit for credit losses of $619 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to an increase in loss factors across certain portfolios. The benefit for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $20 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Allowance for credit losses - loans was 0.80%, 0.80%, and 0.78% of loans, net of unearned income at March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Total nonperforming assets were $25.4 million at March 31, 2025, compared to nonperforming assets of $22.7 million and $15.5 million at December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively. The increase during the first quarter of 2025 primarily related to the addition of three commercial loans with a combined balance of $7.0 million, partially offset by the payoff of two commercial loans with a combined balance of $3.0 million. Delinquency, measured as loans past due 30 days or more, as a percentage of total loans was 0.50% at March 31, 2025, compared to 0.52% and 0.38% as of December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Capital

Shareholders’ equity increased $12.9 million, or 2.0%, from $655.0 million as of December 31, 2024, to $667.9 million as of March 31, 2025. Retained earnings increased $9.9 million, or 5.4%, from $181.6 million as of December 31, 2024, to $191.5 million as of March 31, 2025. Regulatory capital ratios for both Mid Penn and the Bank indicate regulatory capital levels in excess of both the regulatory minimums and the levels necessary for the Bank to be considered "well capitalized" at March 31, 2025. Additionally, Mid Penn declared $3.9 million in dividends during the first quarter of 2025.

On April 23, 2025, Mid Penn’s Board of Directors reauthorized its treasury stock repurchase program ("The Program") effective through April 30, 2026. The Program authorizes the repurchase of up to $15.0 million of Mid Penn’s outstanding common stock. As of March 31, 2025, Mid Penn repurchased a total of 440,722 shares of common stock at an average price of $22.78 per share under the Program. No shares were purchased in the first quarter of 2025. The Program had approximately $5.0 million remaining available for repurchase as of March 31, 2025.

Noninterest Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, noninterest income totaled $5.2 million, a decrease of $910 thousand, or 14.8%, compared to noninterest income of $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a $717 thousand decrease in other miscellaneous noninterest income, driven by a $532 thousand decrease in Bank-owned life insurance benefits received, and $106 million decrease in insurance commissions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, noninterest income totaled $5.2 million, a decrease of $598 thousand, or 10.2%, compared to noninterest income of $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in noninterest income is primarily driven by a $731 thousand decrease in other miscellaneous noninterest income, driven by a $1.4 million decrease in Bank-owned life insurance benefits received, partially offset by a $357 thousand increase in loan level swap fees, a $113 thousand increase in other letter of credit income, and a $167 thousand increase in Mortgage Banking income.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense decreased $272 thousand to $30.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 from $30.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was driven by a $638 thousand decrease in salaries and employee benefits, driven by a decrease in bonuses paid, partially offset by a $514 thousand increase in shares tax.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, noninterest expense totaled $30.6 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 7.4%, compared to noninterest expense of $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $847 thousand increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $454 thousand increase in software licensing, a $314 thousand increase in merger and acquisition expenses, and a $292 thousand increase in occupancy expenses, partially offset by a $172 thousand decrease in legal and professional fees.

The core efficiency ratio⁽¹⁾ was 62.8% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 63.9% in the fourth quarter of 2024, and 68.8% in the first quarter of 2024. The change in the core efficiency ratio during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was the result of slightly higher net interest income, partially offset by lower noninterest income, and slightly lower noninterest expense. Mid Penn continues to evaluate levels of noninterest expense for opportunities to reduce operating costs throughout the organization.
