GETTYSBURG, PA, November 3, 2017 — ACNB Corporation (NASDAQ: ACNB) today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, including the nonrecurring expenses associated with the acquisition of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. of Taneytown, Maryland, and its banking subsidiary, New Windsor State Bank. The Corporation reported net income of $1,912,000 or $0.27 earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to net income of $2,768,000 or $0.46 earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $7,271,000 or $1.14 earnings per share, compared to net income of $8,297,000 or $1.37 earnings per share for the comparable period in the prior year.

 

Excluding the nonrecurring acquisition and integration expenses incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. and New Windsor State Bank as well as the corresponding tax impact at the marginal tax rate, net income (non-GAAP) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have been $4,655,000 or $0.66 earnings per share and $10,250,000 or $1.61 earnings per share, respectively, which represent a 68% and 24% increase, respectively, over the comparable results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

“On July 1, 2017, ACNB Corporation welcomed the shareholders, customers and employees of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. and New Windsor State Bank,” said James P. Helt, ACNB Corporation President & CEO. “The acquisition of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. and its banking subsidiary is part of ACNB Corporation’s long-term strategic plan to enhance shareholder value by systematically and methodically expanding into new geographic markets and growing our customer base. We believe that in order for the Corporation to achieve its goals we must continue to grow both our top line and bottom line results.”

 

He continued, “As we see from our financial results today, the New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. acquisition is already adding to our top line and, after giving effect to the nonrecurring merger-related expenses accounted for under GAAP, we believe that this acquisition positively impacts and accretes to our bottom line and earnings per share. We are pleased with our results to date. We have had a smooth acquisition and successful systems integration. Operations are proceeding as planned. The nonrecurring merger-related expenses were in line with previously announced amounts. And, we are currently on track to meet or exceed our projected cost savings from the acquisition of approximately 27%.”

 

Total revenues for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $17,492,000 and $43,399,000, respectively, or 40% and 17% increases, respectively, over total revenues for the comparable periods ended September 30, 2016 of $12,486,000 and $37,206,000, respectively.

 

Total interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $15,109,000 and $36,604,000, respectively, or 48% and 21% increases, respectively, over total interest income for the comparable periods ended September 30, 2016 of $10,181,000 and $30,155,000, respectively.

 

Financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 included $2,743,000 and $2,979,000, net of tax, respectively, of nonrecurring acquisition and integration expenses associated with

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

ACNB Corporation uses non-GAAP financial measures to provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying

business performance and trends related to core business activities. The non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators we use may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to measure their performance and trends.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the event of such a disclosure or release, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Regulation G requires: (i) the presentation of the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and (ii) a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure presented and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this release.

 

Management believes merger-related expenses are not organic costs attendant to operations and facilities. These charges principally represent expenses to satisfy contractual obligations of the acquired entity, without any useful benefit to us, to convert and consolidate the entity’s records, systems and data onto our platforms, and professional fees related to the transaction. These costs are specific to each individual transaction and may vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the transaction.
