Citizens Financial Services, Inc. Reports Second quarter 2013 Earnings

MANSFIELD, PENNSYLVANIA— July 23, 2013 – Citizens Financial Services, Inc. (OTC BB: CZFS), parent company of First Citizens Community Bank, has released its unaudited financial performance for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, net income totaled $3,280,000 which compares to net income of $3,753,000 for the second quarter of 2012. This represents a decrease of $473,000, or 12.6%. Earnings per share of $1.08 for the second quarter compares to $1.23 last year.  Annualized return on equity for the comparable periods was 14.77% and 18.72%, while return on assets was 1.49% and 1.69%, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net income totaled $6,567,000 which compares to $7,202,000 for the same period last year. This represents a decrease of $635,000, or 8.8%. Earnings per share of $2.17 decreased 7.7% from $2.35 per share last year.  Annualized return on equity for the comparable periods was 14.99% and 18.25%, while return on assets was 1.50% and 1.63%, respectively.  CEO and President Randall E. Black stated, “Our financial performance continues to remain strong and better than peer.  As expected, results for 2013 are negatively impacted by the current low interest rate environment, which has resulted in margin compression as cash flows are being invested at lower yields.”

Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, decreased from $15,223,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $14,664,000 in 2013.  The decrease of $559,000, or 3.7%, is reflective of declining margins.  On a tax equivalent basis, the net interest margin has decreased from 4.04% last year to 3.87% this year.  The tax equivalent yields on interest earning assets decreased from 5.02% for the first six months of 2012 to 4.67% this year.  “As expected, the sluggish economy and persistent interest rate environment has continued to impact our margins.  Despite the moderate growth in interest earning assets from a year ago, particularly loans, the additional assets are added at lower rates than those assets that are maturing or re-pricing.  This has been offset somewhat by reducing our cost of funds, which has decreased from 1.14% last year to .95% this year”, added Mr. Black.

At June 30, 2013, total assets were $879.1 million, which was a decrease of $3.3 million from total assets of $882.4 million at December 31, 2012.  From year-end 2012, the investment portfolio has decreased $2.3 million to $307.9 million at June 30, 2013.  Net loans of $508.7 million as of the end of June have increased $13.1 million, or 2.6%, compared to December 31, 2012 and have increased $18.3 million from June 30, 2012.  Part of this growth has been the success in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties since opening a loan production office in the latter part of 2012.  Asset quality remains strong.  As of June 30, 2013, non-performing assets totaled $9.1 million and represented 1.77% of loans.  This compares to 1.83% as of December 31, 2012.  Through June 2013, the provision for loan loss was $225,000 compared to $210,000 recorded last year.  The annualized net charge-offs as a percent of average loans remains very low at .01%.

Stockholders’ equity totaled $88.9 million at June 30, 2013, which compares to $89.5 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in the unrealized gain on available for sale investment securities.  The recent increase in long-term interest rates has resulted in a decrease in the fair value of investment securities.  On June 28, 2013 a 5% stock dividend was paid to shareholders of record on June 21, 2013.  Additionally, a cash dividend of $.285 per share was also paid on June 28th, which equates to $.271 per share after giving retroactive consideration to the 5% stock dividend.  The cash and stock dividend reflects the Board of Directors’ desire to provide total shareholder return to the shareholder base.
Citizens Financial Services, Inc. has over 1,500 shareholders, the majority of whom reside in Potter, Tioga, and Bradford Counties, Pennsylvania and Allegany County, New York, where their 18 offices are located.
