NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Peoples" refers to Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively, except where the context indicates the reference relates solely to Peoples Bancorp Inc.) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (“2014 Form 10-K”).

The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2014 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Form 10-Q. Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2015, for potential recognition or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and dates indicated. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014, contained herein has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ 2014 Form 10-K.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.

New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Peoples as of the required effective dates. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes the impact of any recently issued standards, including those issued but not yet effective, will not have a material impact on Peoples' financial statements taken as a whole.

The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1 inputs) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by

Table of Contents

the pricing services in their overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when they believe a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis included the following:

Impaired Loans: Impaired loans are measured and reported at fair value when the amounts to be received are less than the carrying value of the loans. One of the allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment is estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Management’s determination of the fair value for these loans uses a market approach representing the estimated net proceeds to be received from the sale of the collateral based on observable market prices or market value provided by independent, licensed or certified appraisers (Level 2 inputs). At June 30, 2015, impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $0.5 million were measured and reported at a fair value of $0.4 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, Peoples recognized $130,000 and $167,000 of losses on impaired loans, respectively, through the allowance for loan losses.

The following table presents the fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried on Peoples’ Consolidated Balance Sheets, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis:



	June 30, 2015				December 31, 2014
(Dollars in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	132,262	$	132,262	$	61,454	$	61,454
Investment securities	822,199		822,342		713,659		713,633
Loans	1,997,983		1,962,441		1,607,391		1,581,813
Financial liabilities:
Deposits	$	2,544,572	$	2,550,034	$	1,933,074	$	1,938,021
Short-term borrowings	92,711		92,711		88,277		88,277
Long-term borrowings	128,633		134,188		179,083		183,878

The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, demand and other non-maturity deposits, and overnight borrowings. Peoples used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:

Loans: The fair value of portfolio loans assumes sale of the notes to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, this value is not necessarily the value to Peoples if the notes were held to maturity. Peoples considered interest rate, credit and market factors in estimating the fair value of loans (Level 3 inputs). In the current whole loan market, financial investors are generally requiring a much higher rate of return than the return inherent in loans if held to maturity given the lack of market liquidity. This divergence accounts for the majority of the difference in carrying amount over fair value.

Deposits: The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities (Level 2 inputs).

Long-term Borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2 inputs).

Bank premises and equipment, customer relationships, deposit base, banking center networks, and other information required to compute Peoples’ aggregate fair value are not included in the above information. Accordingly, the above fair values are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of Peoples.

Peoples’ investment in equity securities was comprised largely of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015, there were no securities of a single issuer, other than U.S. Treasury and government agencies, and U.S. government sponsored agencies/enterprises, that exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity.

The gross gains and gross losses realized by Peoples from sales of available-for-sale securities for the periods ended June 30 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2015		2014		2015		2014
Gross gains realized	$	32	$	220	$	632	$	734
Gross losses realized	21		154		21		698
Net gain realized	$	11	$	66	$	611	$	36

The cost of investment securities sold, and any resulting gain or loss, was based on the specific identification method and recognized as of the trade date.

Management systematically evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2015, management concluded no individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired since Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, were largely attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased.

At June 30, 2015, approximately 99% of the mortgage-backed securities that had been at an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more were issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. The remaining 1%, or three positions, consisted of privately issued mortgage-backed securities with all of the underlying mortgages originated prior to 2004. Two of the three positions had a fair value less than 90% of their book value, with an aggregate book and fair value of $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Management has analyzed the underlying credit quality of these securities and concluded the unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the floating rate nature of these investments and the low number of loans remaining in these securities.

Furthermore, the three bank-issued trust preferred securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more at June 30, 2015 were primarily attributable to the floating nature of those investments, the current interest rate environment and spreads within that sector.

Note 4. Loans

Peoples' loan portfolio has consisted of various types of loans originated primarily as a result of lending opportunities within Peoples' primary market areas of northeastern, central, southwestern and southeastern Ohio, west central West Virginia, and northeastern Kentucky. Acquired loans consist of loans purchased in 2012 or thereafter in a business combination. The major classifications of loan balances, excluding loans held for sale, were as follows:

Peoples has acquired various loans through business combinations for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, and for which it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amounts of these loans included in the loan balances above are summarized as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014

Changes in the accretable yield for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	Accretable Yield

NB&T Financial Group, Inc.	3,622
Accretion	(826		)
Balance, June 30, 2015	$	8,034

Cash flows expected to be collected on acquired impaired loans are estimated semi-annually by incorporating several key assumptions similar to the initial estimate of fair value. These key assumptions include probability of default, and the amount of actual prepayments after the acquisition date. Prepayments affect the estimated life of the loans and could change the amount of interest income, and possibly principal expected to be collected. In reforecasting future estimated cash flows, credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary.

Peoples has pledged certain loans secured by 1-4 family and multifamily residential mortgages under a blanket collateral agreement to secure borrowings from the FHLB. The amount of such pledged loans totaled $557.2 million and $457.1 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Peoples also had pledged commercial loans to secure borrowings with the FRB. The outstanding balances of these loans totaled $135.3 million and $150.7 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due.

The recorded investments in loans on nonaccrual status and loans delinquent for 90 days or more and accruing were as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators

As discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2014 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples is as follows:

“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the loan if required, for any weakness that may exist.

“Watch” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” classification. Loans in this category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and/or reliance on the secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in Peoples' credit position.

“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of the loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Peoples will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, its classification as an estimate loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

“Loss” (grade 8): Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses are taken in the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.

Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements. All other loans not evaluated individually, nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as described above, would be considered as being “not rated”.

At June 30, 2015, Peoples' impaired loans shown in the table above included loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs").

In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, Peoples considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (i) the borrower is currently in payment default on any of the borrower's debt; (ii) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (iii) the borrower has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy; and (iv) the borrower's projected cash flow is insufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.

Peoples considers all aspects of the modification to loan terms to determine whether or not a concession has been granted to the borrower. Key factors considered by Peoples include the borrower's ability to access funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics, the significance of the modification relative to the unpaid principal balance or collateral value of the debt, and the significance of a delay in the timing of payments relative to the original contractual terms of the loan. The most common concessions granted by Peoples generally include one or more modifications to the terms of the debt, such as (i) a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the debt, (ii) an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, (iii) a temporary period of interest-only payments, and (iv) a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or the remaining term of the loan.

The reduction in the allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial real estate, and related recovery of loan losses recorded during 2015 compared to 2014 was driven by net recoveries in recent years reducing the historical loss rates. Increases in commercial and industrial, residential real estate, home equity lines of credit and consumer categories of the allowance for loan losses, and related provision for loan losses recorded during 2015 were driven by net charge-off activity and increases in these respective loan portfolios.

On December 18, 2012, Peoples entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") to obtain a $24 million unsecured term loan from an unaffiliated financial institution with an original maturity of five years. On August 4, 2014, the Loan Agreement was amended (as amended, the "Amended Loan Agreement"). Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the interest rate on the term loan was reduced from 3.80% to 3.50%, and certain loan covenants related to the operations of Peoples' business were modified under the Amended Loan Agreement. Peoples is required to make quarterly principal and interest payments until the earlier of either full prepayment by Peoples or the stated maturity date. This note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity without penalties, so long as no default has occurred. Concurrently, Peoples also entered into a Negative Pledge Agreement that precludes Peoples from selling, transferring, assigning, mortgaging, encumbering, pledging, or entering into a negative pledge agreement with respect to or otherwise disposing of any interest in the capital stock or other ownership interests owned by Peoples in its subsidiaries without prior written approval. Peoples is also subject to certain covenants under the Amended Loan Agreement, which include restrictions on ownership interests of its subsidiaries; cash and cash equivalents; transfers of criticized, classified or nonperforming assets; additional indebtedness; certain material transactions; and other financial covenants which include:


•	Peoples and Peoples Bank, National Association ("Peoples Bank") must maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, sufficient capital to qualify as "well capitalized" under applicable regulatory guidance;


•	Peoples Bank must maintain a "Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio" (as defined in the Loan Agreement) equal to or in excess of 12.50%, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter;


•	Peoples Bank must maintain a ratio of "Nonperforming Assets" to the sum of "Tangible Capital" plus the "Allowance for Loan Losses" (as each term is defined in the Loan Agreement) of not more than 20%, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter;


•	Peoples must maintain a "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio" (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) that equals or exceeds 1.25 to 1.00, commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2012 and for each quarter thereafter, with the items used in the ratio determined on a trailing 12-month basis;


•	issuance of dividends from Peoples Bank may not exceed the amount permitted by law without requiring regulatory approval;

•minimum liquidity position of $2 million at Peoples; and


•	Peoples Bank must maintain a ratio of "Allowance for Loan Losses" to "Nonperforming Loans" (as each term is defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of not less than 70% measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

As of June 30, 2015, Peoples was in compliance with the applicable material covenants imposed by the Amended Loan Agreement. On July 24, 2015, Peoples repaid the term note payable that had an outstanding principal balance of $12.0 million as of June 30, 2015 and the Amended Loan Agreement terminated as of July 24, 2015 as a result. The related Negative Pledge Agreement terminated contemporaneously with the termination of the Amended Loan Agreement. There were no early termination fees associated with the repayment.

Peoples' callable national market repurchase agreements consist of agreements with unrelated financial service companies and have original maturities ranging from five to ten years. In general, these agreements may not be terminated by Peoples prior to maturity without incurring additional costs. The callable agreements contain call option features, in

Table of Contents

which the buyer has the right, at its discretion, to terminate the repurchase agreement after an initial period ranging from three months to five years. After the initial call period, the buyer has a one-time option to terminate the agreement. If the buyer exercises its option, Peoples would be required to repay the agreement in whole at the quarterly date. Peoples is required to make quarterly interest payments.

The putable, non-amortizing, fixed rate FHLB advances have original maturities ranging from ten to twenty years that may be repaid prior to maturity, subject to termination fees. The FHLB has the option, solely at its discretion, to terminate the advance after the initial fixed rate periods ranging from three months to five years, requiring full repayment of the advance by Peoples, prior to the stated maturity. If the advance is terminated prior to maturity, the FHLB will offer Peoples replacement funding at the then-prevailing rate on an advance product then offered by the FHLB, subject to normal FHLB credit and collateral requirements. These advances require monthly interest payments, with no repayment of principal until the earlier of either an option exercise by the FHLB or the stated maturity. The amortizing, fixed rate FHLB advances have a fixed rate for the term of the loan, with maturities ranging from ten to twenty years. These advances require monthly principal and interest payments, with some having a constant prepayment rate requiring an additional principal payment annually. These advances are not eligible for optional prepayment prior to maturity. During the first quarter of 2015, Peoples repaid several FHLB advances including putable, non-amortizing, fixed rate advances and amortizing, fixed-rate advances, totaling approximately $52.1 million that resulted in early termination fees of $520,000, and had a weighted-average cost of 1.49%.

On March 6, 2015, Peoples completed its acquisition of NB&T Financial Group, Inc. ("NB&T"), which included the assumption of Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due 2037 (the "junior subordinated debt securities") at an acquisition-date fair value of $6.6 million held in a wholly-owned statutory trust whose common securities were wholly-owned by NB&T. The sole assets of the statutory trust are the junior subordinated debt securities and related payments. The junior subordinated debt securities and the back-up obligations, in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee of the obligations of the statutory trust under the Capital Securities held by third-party investors. Distributions on the Capital Securities are payable at the annual rate of 1.50% over the 3-month LIBOR. Distributions on the Capital Securities are included in interest expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. These securities are considered Tier I capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines. The junior subordinated debt securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Capital Securities at maturity or their earlier redemption at the liquidation amount. Subject to prior approval of the Federal Reserve, the Capital Securities are redeemable prior to the maturity date of September 6, 2037, and are redeemable at par. Distributions on the Capital Securities can be deferred from time to time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive semi-annual periods.

The aggregate minimum annual retirements of long-term borrowings in future periods are as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	Balance		Weighted-Average Rate
Six Months Ending December 31, 2015	$	5,377	2.78	%

Note 7. Employee Benefit Plans

Peoples sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2010. The plan provides retirement benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation. For employees hired before January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on the employee’s average monthly compensation pay over the highest five consecutive years out of the employee’s last ten years with Peoples while an eligible employee. For employees hired on or after January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on 2% of the employee’s annual compensation plus accrued interest. Effective January 1, 2010, the pension plan was closed to new entrants. Effective March 1, 2011, the accrual of pension plan benefits for all participants was frozen. Peoples recognized this freeze as a curtailment as of December 31, 2010 and March 1, 2011, under the terms of the pension plan. Peoples also provides post-retirement health and life insurance benefits to former employees and directors. Only those individuals who retired before January 27, 2012 were eligible for life insurance benefits. As of January 1, 2011, all retirees who desire to participate in the Peoples Bank medical plan do so by electing COBRA, which provides up to 18 months of coverage; retirees over the age of 65 also have the option to participate in a group Medicare supplemental plan. Peoples’ policy is to fund the cost of the health benefits as they arise.

The following tables detail the components of the net periodic cost for the plans:

Under US GAAP, Peoples is required to recognize a settlement gain or loss when the aggregate amount of lump-sum distributions to participants equals or exceeds the sum of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic pension cost. The amount of settlement gain or loss recognized is the pro rata amount of the unrealized gain or loss existing immediately prior to the settlement. In general, both the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets are required to be remeasured in order to determine the settlement gain or loss.

In the six months of 2015, the total lump-sum distributions made to participants caused the total settlements to exceed the recognition threshold for settlement gains or losses. As a result, Peoples remeasured its pension obligation and plan assets as of April 1, 2015 as part of the calculation of the settlement loss recognized.

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the “2006 Equity Plan”), Peoples may grant, among other awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights and unrestricted share awards to employees and non-employee directors. The total number of common shares available under the 2006 Equity Plan is 1,081,260. The maximum number of common shares that can be issued for incentive stock options is 800,000 common shares. Prior to 2007, Peoples granted nonqualified and incentive stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options to non-employee directors under the 2006 Equity Plan and predecessor plans. Since February 2007, Peoples has granted a combination of restricted common shares and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to be settled in common shares to employees and restricted common shares to non-employee directors subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the 2006 Equity Plan. In general, common shares issued in connection with stock-

based awards are issued from treasury shares to the extent available. If no treasury shares are available, common shares are issued from authorized but unissued common shares.

Stock Options

Under the provisions of the 2006 Equity Plan and predecessor stock option plans, the exercise price per share of any stock option granted may not be less than the grant date fair market value of the underlying common shares. All stock options granted to both employees and non-employee directors expire ten years from the date of grant. The most recent stock option grants to employees and non-employee directors occurred in 2006. The stock options granted to employees vested three years after the grant date, while the stock options granted to non-employee directors vested six months after the grant date.

The following table summarizes the changes to Peoples' stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

Restricted Common Shares

Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may award restricted common shares to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. In general, the restrictions on restricted common shares awarded to non-employee directors expire after six months, while the restrictions on restricted common shares awarded to employees expire after periods ranging from one to three years. In the first quarter of 2015, Peoples granted restricted common shares subject to performance-based vesting to officers and key employees with restrictions that will lapse three years after the grant date provided that in order for the restricted common shares to vest, Peoples must have reported positive net income and maintained a well capitalized status by regulatory standards for each of the three fiscal years preceding the vesting date.

Note 10. Acquisitions

On March 6, 2015, Peoples completed its acquisition of NB&T for total consideration of $102.7 million which reflected the conversion of each of the 3,442,329 outstanding NB&T common shares into $7.75 in cash and 0.9319 in Peoples' common shares. NB&T merged into Peoples and NB&T's wholly-owned subsidiary, The National Bank and Trust Company, which operates 22 full-service branches in southwest Ohio, merged into Peoples Bank. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting under US GAAP. The assets purchased, liabilities assumed, and related identifiable intangible assets were recorded at their acquisition date fair values. Per the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations, these fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. The goodwill recognized will not be deductible for income tax purposes.

As a result of the NB&T acquisition, Peoples acquired loans of $384.9 million and deposits of $629.5 million after preliminary acquisition accounting adjustments. The balances and operations related to the acquisition are included in Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of the acquisition.

The following table is a preliminary summary of changes in goodwill and intangible assets during the preliminary purchase price calculation as of the date of acquisition for NB&T, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values.

Table of Contents

The estimated fair values presented in the above table reflect additional information that was obtained during the three months ended June 30, 2015, which resulted in changes to certain fair value estimates made as of the date of acquisition. Material adjustments to acquisition date estimated fair values are recorded in the period in which the acquisition occurred and, as a result, previously recorded results have changed. After considering this additional information, the cash acquired decreased $5.4 million, the estimated fair value of loans decreased $5.1 million, the intangible assets acquired increased $1.3 million, the other assets increased $0.1 million, and the estimated fair value of accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $1.6 million as of the date of acquisition from that originally reported in the three months ended March 31, 2015. The change in accrued expenses and other liabilities was mainly due to a decrease in the net deferred tax asset of $1.2 million as a result of these revised fair values. These revised fair value estimates resulted in a net increase to goodwill of $7.6 million from that originally reported for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $33.7 million, which is recognized in the June 30, 2015 consolidated balance sheet.

Acquired loans are reported net of the unamortized fair value adjustment. The following table details the preliminary fair value adjustment for acquired loans as of the acquisition date:

Business Overview

The following discussion and analysis of Peoples’ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial condition and results of operations.

Peoples offers diversified financial products and services through 81 financial service locations and 81 ATMs in northeastern, central, southwestern and southeastern Ohio, west central West Virginia and northeastern Kentucky through its financial service units – Peoples Bank and Peoples Insurance Agency, LLC ("Peoples Insurance"), a subsidiary of Peoples Bank. Peoples Bank is subject to regulation and examination primarily by the OCC and secondarily by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). Peoples Insurance is subject to regulation by the Ohio Department of Insurance and the state insurance regulatory agencies of those states in which it may do business.

Peoples’ products and services include traditional banking products, such as deposit accounts, lending products and trust services. Peoples provides services through traditional offices, ATMs, and telephone and internet-based banking. Peoples also offers a complete array of insurance products and makes available custom-tailored fiduciary, employee benefit plans and asset management services. Brokerage services are offered by Peoples exclusively through an unaffiliated registered broker-dealer.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples conform to US GAAP and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management has identified the accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to understanding Peoples’ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis at June 30, 2015, which were unchanged from the policies disclosed in Peoples’ 2014 Form 10-K.

Summary of Recent Transactions and Events

The following is a summary of recent transactions and events that have impacted or are expected to impact Peoples’ results of operations or financial condition:

◦

At the close of business on March 6, 2015, Peoples completed the acquisition of NB&T and the 22 full-service offices of its subsidiary The National Bank and Trust Company in southwestern Ohio. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Peoples paid 0.9319 of Peoples' common shares and $7.75 in cash for each common share of NB&T, or total consideration of $102.7 million. The acquisition added $384.9 million of loans and $629.5 million of deposits at the acquisition date, after initial acquisition accounting adjustments.

◦

At the close of business on October 24, 2014, Peoples completed the acquisition of North Akron Savings Bank ("North Akron") and its 4 full-service offices in Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Munroe and Norton, Ohio. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Peoples paid $7,655 of consideration per share of North Akron common stock, or $20.1 million, of which 80% was paid in Peoples' common shares and the remaining 20% in cash. The acquisition added $111.5 million of loans and $108.1 million of deposits at the acquisition date, after acquisition accounting adjustments.


◦	On August 7, 2014, Peoples announced the completion of the sale of 1,847,826 common shares at $23.00 per share to institutional investors through a private placement (the "Private Equity Issuance"). Peoples received net proceeds of $40.2 million from the sale, and used the proceeds, in part, to fund the cash consideration for the NB&T acquisition.

◦

At the close of business on August 22, 2014, Peoples completed the acquisition of Ohio Heritage Bancorp, Inc. ("Ohio Heritage") and the 6 full-service offices of its subsidiary Ohio Heritage Bank in Coshocton, Newark, Heath, Mount Vernon and New Philadelphia, Ohio. Under the terms of the agreement, Peoples paid $110.00 of consideration per share of Ohio Heritage common stock, or $37.7 million, of which 85% was paid in Peoples' common shares and the remaining 15% in cash. The acquisition added $175.8 million of loans and $174.9 million of deposits at the acquisition date, after acquisition accounting adjustments.

◦

At the close of business on May 30, 2014, Peoples completed the acquisition of Midwest Bancshares, Inc. ("Midwest") and the 2 full-service offices of its subsidiary First National Bank of Wellston in Wellston and Jackson, Ohio. Under the terms of the agreement, Peoples paid $65.50 of consideration per share of Midwest common stock, or $12.6 million, of which 50% was paid in cash and the remaining 50% in Peoples' common shares. The acquisition added $58.7 million of loans and $77.9 million of deposits at the acquisition date, after acquisition accounting adjustments.

◦

In the second quarter of 2015, Peoples incurred $732,000 of acquisition-related expenses, compared to $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, which were primarily severance costs, fees for legal costs, other professional services, deconversion costs and write-offs associated with assets acquired. For the year, Peoples incurred $10.3 million of acquisition-related expenses in 2015, compared to $1.6 million for the first six months of 2014.

◦

As described in Note 7 - Employee Benefit Plans of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q, Peoples incurred settlement charges of $103,000 in the second quarter of 2015 due to the aggregate amount of lump-sum distributions to participants in Peoples' defined benefit pension plan exceeding the threshold for recognizing such charges during the first quarter of 2015. Settlement charges of $269,000 and $536,000 were recognized during the first quarter of 2015 and second quarter of 2014. For the year, settlement charges of $372,000 were recognized, compared to $1,022,000 for the first six months of 2014.

◦

Peoples' net interest income and net interest margin are impacted by changes in market interest rates based upon actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board, either directly or through its Open Market Committee. These actions include changing its target Federal Funds Rate (the interest rate at which banks lend money to each other), Discount Rate (the interest rate charged to banks for money borrowed from the Federal Reserve Bank) and longer-term market interest rates (primarily U.S. Treasury securities). Longer-term market interest rates also are affected by the demand for U.S. Treasury securities. The resulting changes in the yield curve slope have a direct impact on reinvestment rates for Peoples' earning assets.


◦	The Federal Reserve Board has maintained its target Federal Funds Rate at a historically low level of 0% to 0.25% since December 2008 and has maintained the Discount Rate at 0.75% since December 2010. The Federal Reserve Board has indicated the possibility these short-term rates could start to be raised as early as the second half of 2015.

◦

From late 2008 until year-end 2014, the Federal Reserve Board took various actions to lower longer-term market interest rates as a means of stimulating the economy – a policy commonly referred to as “quantitative easing”. These actions included the buying and selling of mortgage-backed and other debt securities through its open market operations. In December 2013, the Federal Reserve Board announced plans to taper its quantitative easing efforts. As a result, the slope of the U.S. Treasury yield curve has fluctuated significantly. Substantial flattening occurred in late 2008, in mid-2010 and early third quarter of 2011 through 2012, while moderate steepening occurred in the second half of 2009, late 2010 and mid-2013. The curve remained relatively steep throughout the second half of 2013, primarily as a reaction to the Federal Reserve Board's announcement of a reduction in monthly asset purchases and generally improving economic conditions. The curve flattened gradually throughout 2014 and early 2015, primarily in response to the slowing global economy, geopolitical uncertainty and lower yields on sovereign debt throughout the world.

The impact of these transactions and events, where material, is discussed in the applicable sections of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Peoples recorded net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 of $4.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $3.5 million and $0.32 per diluted common share a year ago, and a net loss of $0.7 million or $0.04 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted for non-core charges, net income decreased $0.5 million due to an increase in non-interest expenses.

Peoples' provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $672,000, compared to $583,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $350,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2015 were $516,000 compared to net charge-offs of $69,000 in the prior year second quarter and $143,000 in the first quarter of 2015. Asset quality metrics remained favorable during the second quarter of 2015, but nonperforming assets increased during the quarter due mainly to one large commercial and industrial relationship being placed on nonaccrual status.

Net interest income was $24.8 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $16.0 million for the second quarter of 2014 and $21.4 million for the first quarter of 2015, while net interest margin was 3.46%, 3.39% and 3.46%, respectively. The net interest margin, excluding the impact of amortization and accretion from the acquisitions, improved 3 basis points compared to the linked quarter due largely to the continued decline in funding costs. The accretion income and amortization expense from the acquisitions added 15 basis points of net interest margin in the second quarter of 2015, compared to 8 basis points in the second quarter of 2014 and 18 basis points in the first quarter of 2015.

For the second quarter of 2015, total non-interest income grew 23% compared to the prior year second quarter and 4% compared to the linked quarter. The growth over the linked quarter was due to service charges on deposit accounts, trust and investment income, and electronic banking income, all of which have benefited from the acquisitions. The growth compared to the linked quarter was partially offset by lower insurance income due to the annual performance-based insurance income being recognized in the first quarter each year. On a year-to-date basis, all categories comprising total non-interest income were higher compared to the first six months of 2014, most notably electronic banking income, trust and investment income, and service charge income on deposit accounts, which grew 38%, 21% and 19%, respectively.

Non-interest expenses, adjusted for non-core charges, were 19% higher than the linked quarter and 43% higher than the first six months of 2014. The majority of the increase compared to the linked quarter was due to a full quarter impact of the NB&T acquisition, while the increase year-to-date was largely due to the four acquisitions that were completed since May 30, 2014. Non-core charges for the second quarter and year-to-date 2015 consisted of acquisition costs of $0.7 million and $9.7 million, respectively, pension settlement charges of $103,000 and $372,000, respectively, and other items totalling $285,000 and $385,000, respectively.

At June 30, 2015, total assets were $3.21 billion, up $642.8 million from year-end 2014. This increase was primarily the result of the NB&T acquisition. The allowance for loan losses was $18.2 million, or 1.42% of originated loans (net of deferred fees and costs), compared to $17.9 million and 1.48% at December 31, 2014. The NB&T acquisition added approximately $384.9 million of loans at acquisition date, after preliminary acquisition accounting adjustments.

Total liabilities were $2.79 billion at June 30, 2015, up $565.0 million since year-end 2014. Retail interest-bearing deposit balances grew 30%, or $424.9 million, and non-interest bearing deposits increased 38%, or $188.2 million, since year-end 2014, primarily driven by the deposits acquired from NB&T. Peoples continues to focus on its strategy of reducing high-cost funding with increases in low-cost core deposits.

At June 30, 2015, total stockholders' equity was $418.2 million, up $77.8 million since December 31, 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, Peoples issued $76.0 million of common shares as part of the consideration for the NB&T acquisition. Regulatory capital ratios remained significantly higher than "well capitalized" minimums. Peoples' Tier 1 ratio remained stable at 13.98% at June 30, 2015, versus 14.32% at December 31, 2014, while the Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 14.99% versus 15.48% at December 31, 2014. In addition, Peoples' tangible equity to tangible asset ratio was 8.73% and tangible book value per common share was $14.52 at June 30, 2015, versus 9.39% and $15.57 at December 31, 2014, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense, remains Peoples’ largest source of revenue. The amount of net interest income earned by Peoples each quarter is affected by various factors, including changes in market interest rates due to the Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policy, the level and degree of pricing competition for both loans and deposits in Peoples’ markets, and the amount and composition of Peoples’ earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The following tables detail Peoples’ average balance sheets for the periods presented:

Net interest margin, which is calculated by dividing fully tax-equivalent (“FTE”) net interest income by average interest-earning assets, serves as an important measurement of the net revenue stream generated by the volume, mix and pricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. FTE net interest income is calculated by increasing interest income to convert tax-exempt income earned on obligations of states and political subdivisions to the pre-tax equivalent of taxable income using a 35% federal statutory tax rate. The following table details the calculation of FTE net interest income:

Net interest income increased 16% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the prior quarter and 55% compared to the prior year second quarter. During the second quarter of 2015, net interest income and net interest margin benefited from normal accretion income, net of amortization expense, of $1.1 million related to the completed acquisitions, which added 15 basis points to net interest margin, compared to $1.2 million, or 18 basis points, during the linked quarter and $388,000, or 8 basis points, during the prior year second quarter. On a year-to-date basis, accretion income and amortization expense from the acquisitions added 17 basis points for the six months of 2015 and 7 basis points for the six months of 2014.

The net interest margin, excluding the impact of amortization and accretion from the acquisitions completed, improved 3 basis points compared to the linked quarter due largely to the continued decline in funding costs. Funding costs declined 8

basis points during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the prior quarter, and 19 basis points from the prior year second quarter. Peoples continues to execute its strategy of replacing higher-cost funding with low-cost deposits.

(a) Presented on an annualized basis

The provision for loan losses recorded represents the amount needed to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on management’s quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio and procedural methodology that estimates the amount of probable credit losses. This process considers various factors that affect losses, such as changes in Peoples’ loan quality, historical loss experience and current economic conditions. The provision for loan losses recorded during the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to an increase in nonperforming assets due to a commercial relationship that was placed on nonaccrual status. The provision for loan losses recorded during the first quarter of 2015 was primarily due to an increase in criticized assets due to same commercial relationship noted above being downgraded. The provision for loan losses recorded during the second quarter of 2014 was driven mostly by higher loan growth. During the second quarter of 2015, net charge-offs remained well below the long-term historical averages.

Additional information regarding changes in the allowance for loan losses and loan credit quality can be found later in this discussion under the caption “Allowance for Loan Losses”.

Net Loss on Asset Disposals and Other Transactions

The following table details the net loss on asset disposals and other transactions recognized by Peoples:

Net loss on asset disposals and other transactions	$	(136	)	$	(1,103	)	$	(187	)	$	(1,239	)	$	(176	)

The net loss on OREO during the second quarter of 2015 was due to the sale of one OREO property and the write-off of another OREO property. The net loss on bank premises and equipment for the second quarter of 2015 was due mainly to a write-off of obsolete fixed assets and the write-down of a closed office location that is available for sale. The loss on bank premises and equipment recorded during the first quarter of 2015 was due to asset write-offs associated with the NB&T acquisition. Also during the first quarter of 2015, Peoples recognized a loss on debt extinguishment from the prepayment of several FHLB advances, and a loss on OREO from decreases in the market value of residential properties that were sold. The loss on bank premises and equipment recorded during the second quarter of 2014 included $149,000 of losses due to asset write-offs associated with the Midwest acquisition. The remaining $38,000 of losses was the result of relocation of banking and insurance offices during the second quarter of 2014.

Non-Interest Income

Insurance income comprised the largest portion of second quarter 2015 non-interest income. The following table details Peoples’ insurance income:

Total insurance income	$	3,283	$	4,312	$	3,443	$	7,595	$	7,559

The decrease in insurance income was primarily driven by performance-based commissions recorded during the first quarter of 2015. The bulk of performance-based commissions typically are recorded annually in the first quarter and are based on a combination of factors, such as loss experience of insurance policies sold, production volumes, and overall financial performance of the individual insurance carriers.

Deposit account service charges continued to comprise a sizable portion of Peoples' non-interest income. The following table details Peoples’ deposit account service charges:



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2015		March 31, 2015		June 30, 2014		June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015		March 31, 2015		June 30, 2014		2015		2014
Overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees	$	2,259	$	1,650	$	1,772	$	3,909	$	3,316
Account maintenance fees	521		451		413		972		790

Total deposit account service charges	$	2,848	$	2,295	$	2,227	$	5,143	$	4,338

The amount of deposit account service charges, particularly fees for overdrafts and non-sufficient funds, is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. Peoples typically experiences a lower volume of overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees annually in the first quarter attributable to customers receiving income tax refunds, while volumes generally increase in the fourth quarter in connection with the holiday shopping season.

Peoples' fiduciary and brokerage revenues continue to be based primarily upon the value of assets under management, with additional income generated from transaction commissions. The following tables detail Peoples’ trust and investment income and related assets under management:

Table of Contents

The increase in brokerage assets under management during the second quarter was due to the NB&T acquisition, which contributed to the increase in brokerage income during the quarter. During the first quarter of 2015, trust assets under management increased 29% compared to the prior quarter, mainly due to the NB&T acquisition, which also contributed to the overall increase in trust and investment income during the first and second quarters of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014. In recent years, Peoples added experienced financial advisors in underserved market areas, and generated new business and revenue related to retirement plans for which it manages the assets and provides services.

Peoples' electronic banking services include ATM and debit cards, direct deposit services, internet and mobile banking, and remote deposit capture, and serve as alternative delivery channels to traditional sales offices for providing services to clients. During the second quarter of 2015 compared to the linked quarter, electronic banking income grew 17% and compared to the prior year second quarter grew 48%. The growth in electronic banking income was primarily due to an increase in the volume of debit card transactions and ATM surcharges.

Mortgage banking income increased 36% compared to the linked quarter, and 32% compared to the prior year second quarter due to the sale of loans to the secondary market, which is driven by mortgage interest rates available and customers' preference for long-term, fixed-rate loans. In the second quarter of 2015, Peoples sold approximately $19.7 million of loans to the secondary market compared to $12.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2014. In the first six months of 2015, Peoples sold approximately $32.6 million compared to $19.1 million in the first half of 2014.

Non-Interest Expense

Salaries and employee benefit costs remain Peoples’ largest non-interest expense, accounting for approximately one-half of total non-interest expense.

The following table details Peoples’ salaries and employee benefit costs:



	Three Months Ended									Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2015			March 31, 2015			June 30, 2014			June 30,

For the three months ended March 31, 2015,$3.9 million of severance and retention payouts associated with the NB&T acquisition were included in base salaries and wages, and were non-recurring in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the severance and retention payouts, base salaries and wages increased during the second quarter due mainly to the full quarter of expense related to the associates acquired and retained from the NB&T acquisition. Sales-based and incentive compensation are tied to corporate incentive plans and commissions from sales production. Employee benefits increased due to higher employee medical benefit costs, compared to the previous quarter. Peoples recognized $103,000 of settlement costs during the second quarter of 2015, compared to $269,000 during the first quarter of 2015 and $536,000 in the second quarter of 2014. Given the nature of the pension settlement, it is inherently difficult to estimate the amount or exact timing of future pension settlement charges. Stock-based compensation decreased compared to the linked quarter as Peoples recorded the true-up of awards that vested during the first quarter. Payroll taxes and other employment costs decreased from the prior quarter as a result of severance costs associated with the NB&T acquisition and the annual vesting of stock-based awards that occurred during the first quarter of 2015, that were not recurring during the second quarter.

Professional fees expense represents the cost of accounting, legal and other third-party professional services utilized by Peoples. The decrease compared to the linked quarter, and a majority of the increase year-to-date, was due mainly to acquisition-related activities. Professional fees incurred as a result of acquisition-related activities were $0.3 million in the

Table of Contents

second quarter of 2015 and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2015. Year-to-date 2014 included $0.5 million of acquisition-related charges.

Peoples’ net occupancy and equipment expense was comprised of the following:



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2015		March 31, 2015		June 30, 2014		June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015		March 31, 2015		June 30, 2014		2015		2014
Depreciation	$	1,139	$	962	$	677	$	2,101	$	1,362
Repairs and maintenance costs	851		578		451		1,429		909
Net rent expense	222		211		219		433		461
Property taxes, utilities and other costs	926		544		392		1,470		823
Total net occupancy and equipment expense	$	3,138	$	2,295	$	1,739	$	5,433	$	3,555

Net occupancy and equipment expense increased during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the linked quarter and prior year second quarter, mostly due to higher depreciation and maintenance costs coupled with increases in real estate taxes and utilities due to the expansion of Peoples' footprint as a result of the acquisitions.

Electronic banking expense, which is comprised of bankcard, internet and mobile banking costs, increased during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the linked quarter and the prior year second quarter. During the second quarter of 2015 compared to the linked quarter, electronic banking expense grew 17% and compared to the prior year second quarter grew 39%. The increases from the prior periods were largely related to a higher volume of transactions completed by customers and additional services provided. The increase in the electronic banking expense was directionally consistent with the growth in electronic banking income.

Other non-interest expense has decreased substantially compared to the prior quarter and increased substantially year-to-date compared to the first six months of 2014, primarily driven by acquisition-related costs, which include deconversion costs. During the second quarter of 2015, there were $17,000 in acquisition expenses recognized within other non-interest expense by Peoples compared to $3.6 million in the prior quarter. Year-to-date 2015, Peoples recognized $3.6 million compared to $0.5 million in the first six months of 2014.

Peoples' efficiency ratio, calculated as non-interest expense less amortization of other intangible assets divided by FTE net interest income plus non-interest income, was 74.20% for the second quarter of 2015, lower than the prior quarter of 96.71% and the prior year second quarter of 75.59%, primarily due to acquisition-related costs and pension settlement charges being lower. Management continues to target an efficiency ratio in the range below 65% for the second half of 2015, absent acquisition-related costs and other non-core charges, such as pension settlement charges.

Income Tax Expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, Peoples recorded income tax expense of $2.1 million, which included acquisition-related costs that are not tax deductible of approximately $160,000. Peoples' current estimate of the tax rate for the entire year of 2015 is between 30.0% and 31.0%. In comparison, Peoples recorded income tax expense of $3.7 million for the same period in 2014, for an effective tax rate of 31.1%.

Pre-Provision Net Revenue

Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR") has become a key financial measure used by federal bank regulatory agencies when assessing the capital adequacy of financial institutions. PPNR is defined as net interest income plus non-interest income minus non-interest expense and, therefore, excludes the provision for loan losses and all gains and losses included in earnings. As a result, PPNR represents the earnings capacity that can be either retained in order to build capital or used to absorb unexpected losses and preserve existing capital.

The following table provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the amounts reported in Peoples' consolidated financial statements for the periods presented:

The second quarter of 2015 PPNR was higher than both the linked quarter and the second quarter of 2014 due largely to the increase in revenue as a result of the acquisitions completed. On a year-to-date basis, PPNR has declined due mainly to the increase in non-interest expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At June 30, 2015, Peoples' interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased significantly from December 31, 2014, primarily due to the NB&T acquisition. These balances included $63.5 million of excess cash reserves being maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank at June 30, 2015, compared to $12.4 million at December 31, 2014. The amount of excess cash reserves maintained is dependent upon Peoples' daily liquidity position, which is driven primarily by changes in deposit and loan balances.

Through six months of 2015, Peoples' total cash and cash equivalents increased $70.8 million, as cash provided by operating and investing activities of $14.2 million and $132.6 million, respectively, exceeded cash used in financing activities totaling $76.0 million. The increase in Peoples' investing activities was primarily due to the $98.1 million contributed by the NB&T acquisition coupled with proceeds from the investment portfolio outpacing purchases. Peoples' financing activities included $62.8 million of cash generated by increases in non-interest-bearing deposits, which was more than offset by declines of $80.5 million in interest-bearing deposits and payments of $57.4 million on long-term borrowings.

Through six months of 2014, Peoples' total cash and cash equivalents increased $0.1 million, as cash provided by operating activities totaling $14.4 million was mostly offset by cash used in investing and financing activities. Within Peoples' investing activities, the net $50.1 million generated by activities related to available-for-sale securities, and $6.3 million in proceeds from bank owned life insurance contracts were used to partially fund the $62.8 million net loan growth. Peoples' financing activities used $1.9 million as payments on long-term borrowings and cash dividends paid to shareholders exceeded cash provided by deposits and short-term borrowings.

Further information regarding the management of Peoples' liquidity position can be found later in this discussion under “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity.”

The decrease in residential mortgage-backed securities during the second quarter was due to normal principle pay downs, as well as calls. Peoples continues to use principal paydowns on securities to fund loan growth, in an effort to reduce the size of the investment portfolio. In the first quarter of 2015, Peoples acquired available-for-sale investment securities in the NB&T acquisition totaling approximately $156.4 million after preliminary acquisition accounting adjustments, and subsequently sold approximately $42.2 million of acquired investment securities. At June 30, 2015, the investment portfolio was 25.6% of total assets compared to 27.8% at year-end and 30.7% a year ago. In recent quarters, Peoples has maintained the size of the held-to-maturity securities portfolio, for which the unrealized gain or loss does not directly impact stockholders' equity, in contrast to the impact from the available-for-sale securities portfolio.

Peoples' investment in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities largely consists of securities either guaranteed by the U.S. government or issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The remaining portions of Peoples' mortgage-backed securities consist of securities issued by other entities, including other financial institutions, which are not guaranteed by the U.S. government.

The amount of these “non-agency” securities included in the residential mortgage-backed securities totals above was as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015		March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014		September 30, 2014		June 30, 2014

Net unrealized gain	$	29	$	395	$	454	$	557	$	596

During the second quarter, Peoples had two non-agency securities called for a total of $3.3 million, with the majority of the remaining decrease due to sales and normal paydowns on non-agency securities. The increase in non-agency securities during the first quarter of 2015 was due to the NB&T acquisition. Management continues to reinvest the principal runoff from the non-agency securities into U.S agency investments, which has accounted for the continued decline in the fair value of these securities. At June 30, 2015, Peoples' non-agency portfolio consisted entirely of first lien residential mortgages, with nearly all of the underlying loans in these securities originated prior to 2004 and possessing fixed interest rates. Management

continues to monitor the non-agency portfolio closely for leading indicators of increasing stress and will continue to be proactive in taking actions to mitigate such risk when necessary.

(a)	Includes all loans acquired in 2012 and thereafter.

Total originated loans increased $64.5 million, or 5% from the linked quarter due mainly to growth in commercial real estate and consumer loan balances, which grew 5% and 11%, respectively. Consumer loan balances, which consist mostly of loans to finance automobile purchases, have continued to increase in recent quarters due largely to Peoples placing greater emphasis on its consumer lending activity. At March 31, 2015, the loans acquired from NB&T added approximately $8.4 million in construction loans, $197.2 million of commercial real estate loans, $48.3 million of commercial and industrial loans, $103.4 million of residential real estate loans, $21.9 million of home equity lines of credit and $2.8 million of consumer loans after acquisition accounting adjustments. Acquired loans also experienced a decline in the balances of loans previously acquired as commercial real estate loans decreased $18.5 million and residential real estate loans decreased $15.2 million due to run-off.

Loan Concentration

Peoples categorizes its commercial loans according to standard industry classifications and monitors for concentrations in a single industry or multiple industries that could be impacted by changes in economic conditions in a similar manner. Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to be spread over a diverse range of businesses from all sectors of the economy, with no single industry comprising over 10% of Peoples' total loan portfolio.

Loans secured by commercial real estate, including commercial construction loans, continue to comprise the largest portion of Peoples' loan portfolio. The following table provides information regarding the largest concentrations of commercial real estate loans within the loan portfolio at June 30, 2015:

Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to focus on lending opportunities inside its primary and secondary market areas within Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. In all other states, the aggregate outstanding balances of commercial loans in each state were less than $4.0 million at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The amount of the allowance for loan losses at the end of each period represents management's estimate of expected losses from existing loans based upon its quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio. While this process involves allocations being made to specific loans and pools of loans, the entire allowance is available for all losses incurred within the loan portfolio. The following details management's allocation of the allowance for loan losses:



(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015			March 31, 2015			December 31, 2014			September 30, 2014			June 30, 2014

As a percent of originated loans, net of deferred fees and costs	1.42		%	1.48		%	1.48		%	1.49		%	1.49		%

The significant allocations to commercial loans reflect the higher credit risk associated with this type of lending and the size of this loan category in relationship to the entire loan portfolio. The increase in the allowance for loan losses during the second quarter of 2015 was due mainly to the increase in nonperforming loans as a large commercial relationship was placed on nonaccrual during the quarter. During the first quarter of 2015, Peoples' allowance for loan losses increased mainly as a result of an increase in criticized assets, which was partially offset by continued low levels of net charge-offs and an upgrade of a large criticized loan during the quarter.

As a percentage of total loans plus OREO, total nonperforming assets were 1.25% at June 30, 2015, compared to 0.68% at March 31, 2015 and 0.92% at June 30, 2014. Net charge-offs also remained at or below Peoples' long-term historical average. These factors had a direct impact on the estimated loss rates used to determine the allocations of allowance for loan losses for commercial loans. Criticized assets, which are those classified as watch, substandard or doubtful, decreased $11.0 million largely due to an $8.4 million commercial real estate loan being upgraded during the quarter, as noted above, which subsequently paid off on July 2, 2015. During the first quarter of 2015, Peoples experienced an increase of $42.6 million in criticized loans, which are those classified as watch, substandard or doubtful, of which $27.0 million was related to the NB&T acquisition. Peoples received principal paydowns of $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2015, and upgraded $3.0 million in loans based upon the financial condition of the borrowers.

The decrease in the allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial real estate during the second quarter of 2015 was due mainly to a decrease in the historical loss rates, coupled with the decrease in criticized assets. The increase in the allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial and industrial during the second quarter of 2015 was the result of a large relationship being placed on nonaccrual status. In the first quarter of 2015, the allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial real estate decreased as a result of net recoveries in recent years reducing the historical loss rates. The increase in the allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial and industrial during the first quarter of 2015 was driven by higher criticized assets, mainly due to a single relationship comprised of three commercial and industrial loans totaling $13.7 million being downgraded during the quarter.

The allowance allocated to the residential real estate and consumer loan categories is based upon Peoples' allowance methodology for homogeneous pools of loans. The fluctuations in these allocations have been directionally consistent with the changes in loan quality, loss experience and loan balances in these categories.

The increase in nonperforming loans during the second quarter was due to one large commercial relationship, comprised of four commercial and industrial loan balances, being placed on nonaccrual status. During the first quarter of 2015, commercial real estate loans reported as loans 90 days past due and accruing increased primarily due to a single loan that was previously acquired and several loans acquired from NB&T. The increase in OREO during the first quarter of 2015 was due to properties acquired as part of the NB&T acquisition.

The decrease in governmental deposit accounts during the second quarter was due to normal seasonal declines, as the balances typically increase annually during the first quarter. Peoples also maintained its deposit strategy of growing low-cost core deposits, such as checking and savings accounts, and reducing its reliance on higher-cost, non-core deposits, such as CDs and brokered deposits. These actions accounted for much of the changes in deposit balances over the last several quarters. The increase in deposit balances during the first quarter was due to the acquisition of NB&T, which included retail certificates of deposits ("CDs") totaling $81.9 million, money market deposit accounts of $74.0 million, governmental deposit accounts of $120.9 million, savings accounts of $94.2 million, interest-bearing demand accounts of $56.3 million and non-interest bearing deposits of $179.7 million at March 31, 2015.

Peoples' short-term FHLB advances generally consist of overnight borrowings being maintained in connection with the management of Peoples' daily liquidity position.

Peoples repaid approximately $52.1 million of long-term FHLB advances during the first quarter of 2015 and recorded losses on debt extinguishment of $520,000. During the first quarter of 2015, Peoples also acquired subordinated debt in the acquisition of NB&T. Additional information regarding Peoples' long-term borrowings can be found in Note 5 - Long-Term Borrowings in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

As disclosed in Peoples' 2014 Form 10-K, Peoples entered into a loan agreement in 2012, that was subsequently amended in 2014, and is subject to certain covenants. At June 30, 2015, Peoples was in compliance with the applicable material covenants, as explained in more detail in Note 5 - Long-Term Borrowings of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Capital/Stockholders’ Equity

During the first quarter of 2015, Peoples issued common shares (representing $76.0 million) in partial consideration for the NB&T acquisition, and the remaining consideration was paid in cash. At June 30, 2015, capital levels for both Peoples and Peoples Bank remained substantially higher than the minimum amounts needed to be considered "well capitalized" institutions under banking regulations. These higher capital levels reflect Peoples' desire to maintain strong capital positions to provide greater flexibility to grow the company. Also during the first quarter of 2015, Peoples adopted the new Basel III regulatory capital framework, as approved by the federal banking agencies. The adoption of this new framework modified the calculations and well capitalized thresholds of the current capital ratios and added the new Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio. Additionally, under the new rules, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, Peoples must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio. The capital conservation buffer is being phased in from 0.00% for 2015 to 2.50% by 2019.

The following table details Peoples' actual risk-based capital levels and corresponding ratios:



(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015			March 31, 2015			December 31, 2014			September 30, 2014			June 30, 2014

Leverage ratio	9.22		%	10.98		%	9.92		%	10.64		%	8.76		%

In addition to traditional capital measurements, management uses tangible capital measures to evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' stockholders' equity. Such ratios represent non-GAAP financial information since their calculation removes the impact of intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management believes this information is useful to investors since it facilitates the comparison of Peoples' operating performance, financial condition and trends to peers, especially those without a similar level of intangible assets to that of Peoples. Further, intangible assets generally are difficult to convert into cash, especially during a financial crisis, and could decrease substantially in value should there be deterioration in the overall franchise value. As a result, tangible equity represents a conservative measure of the capacity for a company to incur losses but remain solvent.

The following table reconciles the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures to amounts reported in Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements:

Tangible equity to tangible assets	8.73		%	8.61		%	9.39		%	9.40		%	7.90		%

The increase in the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio at June 30, 2015 compared to the ratio at March 31, 2015 was due mainly to the decrease in tangible assets. Tangible assets declined during the quarter largely as a result of the cash balance decreasing, which corresponded to the decline in deposit balances. The decrease in the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio during the first quarter of 2015 compared to the ratio at December 31, 2014 was primarily caused by the NB&T acquisition, which increased all components of the ratio. Compared to the prior year second quarter, increases in stockholders' equity were driven primarily by issuances of equity in connection with acquisitions, the Private Equity Issuance and earnings exceeding dividends in 2014, while higher tangible assets were attributable to loan growth and acquisitions.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity

While Peoples is exposed to various business risks, the risks relating to interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are major risks that can materially impact future results of operations and financial condition due to their complexity and dynamic nature. The objective of Peoples' asset/liability management (“ALM”) function is to measure and manage these risks in order to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity and safety. This objective requires Peoples to focus on interest rate risk exposure and adequate liquidity through its management of the mix of assets and liabilities, their related cash flows, and the rates earned and paid on those assets and liabilities. Ultimately, the ALM function is intended to guide management in the acquisition and disposition of earning assets, and selection of appropriate funding sources.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk (“IRR”) is one of the most significant risks arising in the normal course of business of financial services companies like Peoples. IRR is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes that can impact the earnings stream as well as market values of financial assets and liabilities. Peoples' exposure to IRR is due primarily to differences in the maturity or repricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, other factors, such as prepayments of loans and investment securities, or early withdrawal of deposits, can expose Peoples to IRR and increase interest costs or reduce revenue streams.

Peoples has assigned overall management of IRR to its Asset-Liability Committee (the “ALCO”), which has established an IRR management policy that sets minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and managing the level and amount of IRR. The methods used by the ALCO to assess IRR remain unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2014 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

The following table shows the estimated changes in net interest income and the economic value of equity based upon a standard, parallel shock analysis (dollars in thousands):



Increase in Interest Rate	Estimated Increase in Net Interest Income								Estimated Decrease in Economic Value of Equity
(in Basis Points)	June 30, 2015				December 31, 2014				June 30, 2015					December 31, 2014
300	$	6,006	6.3	%	$	5,600	7.3	%	$	(80,738	)	(14.3	)%	$	(66,730	)	(15.7	)%
200	5,326		5.6	%	4,848		6.3	%	(47,943		)	(8.5	)%	(41,537		)	(9.8	)%
100	3,322		3.5	%	3,235		4.2	%	(25,161		)	(4.5	)%	(18,026		)	(4.2	)%

At June 30, 2015, Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet remained positioned for a rising interest rate environment, as illustrated by the potential increase in net interest income shown in the above table. While parallel interest rate shock scenarios are useful in assessing the level of IRR inherent in Peoples' consolidated balance sheet, interest rates typically move in a non-parallel manner, with differences in the timing, direction and magnitude of changes in short-term and long-term interest rates. Thus, any benefit that could occur as a result of the Federal Reserve Board increasing short-term interest rates in future quarters could be offset by an inverse movement in long-term interest rates.

Liquidity

In addition to IRR management, another major objective of the ALCO is to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity. The methods used by the ALCO to monitor and evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' liquidity position remain unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2014 Form 10-K.

At June 30, 2015, Peoples had liquid assets of $227.2 million, which represented 6.5% of total assets and unfunded commitments. This amount exceeded the minimal level of $70.2 million, or 2% of total loans and unfunded commitments, currently required under Peoples' liquidity policy. Peoples also had an additional $79.0 million of unpledged securities not included in the measurement of liquid assets.

Management believes the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, and anticipated cash flows from the investment portfolio, along with the availability of other funding sources, will allow Peoples to meet anticipated cash obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations

Peoples routinely engages in activities that involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. These activities are part of Peoples' normal course of business and include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, interest rate contracts and commitments to make additional capital contributions in low-income housing tax credit investments. Traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments continue to represent the most significant off-balance sheet exposure.

The following table details the total contractual amount of loan commitments and standby letters of credit:



(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015		March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014		September 30, 2014		June 30, 2014
Home equity lines of credit	$	84,687	$	85,591	$	62,704	$	59,549	$	50,558
Unadvanced construction loans	64,244		74,690		46,781		54,504		29,396
Other loan commitments	216,957		213,698		173,746		152,503		155,858
Loan commitments	365,888		373,979		283,231		266,556		235,812

Standby letters of credit	$	22,247	$	28,879	$	30,837	$	34,570	$	33,852

Management does not anticipate that Peoples’ current off-balance sheet activities will have a material impact on its future results of operations and financial condition based on historical experience and recent trends.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of their respective businesses or operations, Peoples or one of its subsidiaries may be named as a plaintiff, a defendant, or a party to a legal proceeding or any of their respective properties may be subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and various actual and potential claims. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, Peoples cannot state what the eventual outcome of any such matters will be; however, based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Peoples.
