Citizens Financial Services, Inc (Nasdaq: CZFS), parent company of First Citizens Community Bank (the “Bank”), released today its unaudited consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Highlights
— Net income for the first six months of 2025 was $16.1 million, which was $3.8 million, or 30.8% more than 2024's net income through June 30, 2024 due to the increase in net interest income after the provision for credit losses of $5.8 million. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2025 was 18.7% compared to 17.4% in the comparable period in 2024.
— Net income was $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which was $3.2 million more than the net income for 2024's comparable period due an increase in net interest income after the provision for credit losses of $3.6 million. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 18.8% compared to 17.4% in the comparable period in 2024.
— Net interest income before the provision for credit losses was $46.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $4,392,000, or 10.4%, over the same period a year ago and was primarily due to an increase in investment income and a decrease in interest expense.
— The provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $750,000 and $1,375,000, respectively compared to $2,002,000 and $2,787,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The provision for 2024 was significantly impacted by loans that were not sold as part of the sale of a division known as Braavo that occurred in the first quarter of 2024. The vast majority of the Braavo loans that were retained after the sale were originated by HVB in 2023 prior to the acquisition and were current as of the acquisition date in 2023. The provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, directly attributable to these loans was $1,137,000 and $1,806,000, respectively.
— Return on average equity for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2025 was 10.88% and 10.44% compared to 7.40% and 8.67% for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2024. If the provision for the credit losses attributable to the Braavo loans and the gain on the sale of Braavo were excluded, the return on average equity for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2024 would have been 8.66% and 9.17%, respectively (non-GAAP). (1)
— Return on average tangible equity (non-GAAP) for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2025 was 15.19% and 14.65 compared to 10.76% and 12.64% for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2024. If the provision for the credit losses attributable to the Braavo loans and the gain on the sale of Braavo were excluded, the return on average tangible equity for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2024 would have been 12.59% and 13.37% (non-GAAP). (1)
— Return on average assets for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2025 was 1.13% and 1.07% compared to 0.72% and 0.83% for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2024. If the provision for the credit losses attributable to the Braavo loans and the gain on the sale of Braavo were excluded, the return on average assets for the three and six months (annualized) ended June 30, 2024 would have been 0.84% and 0.88% (non-GAAP). (1)
— Non-performing assets decreased $1,236,000 since December 31, 2024 and totaled $27,376,000 as of June 30, 2025, which is $9,452,000 higher than the balance as of June 30, 2024. The increase from June 30, 2024 is due to loans acquired as part of the HVB acquisition. The Bank's strategy during 2024 for certain acquired loans was to either improve the credit metrics of the non-performing loans or have the customers refinance the loans with another institution or sell the underlying collateral. We continue to work with these customers on their ability to return to performing status or to pay-off the loan through a refinancing. The decrease since December reflects two large relationships being placed back on accrual status due to making contractual payments for at least six consecutive months. As a percent of loans, non-performing assets totaled 1.22%, 1.24% and 0.79% as of June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively. While non-performing assets have increased significantly as of June 30, 2025 when compared to June 30, 2024, specific reserves for these assets have decreased from $2,405,000 to $1,477,000. The decrease in the specific reserves from June 2024 is due to the amount of charge-offs recorded in the second half of 2024 that were reserved for as of June 30, 2024.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to 2024
— For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income totaled $16,084,000 which compares to net income of $12,299,000 for the first six months of 2024, an increase of $3,785,000. Basic earnings per share of $3.35 for the first six months of 2025 compared to $2.56 for the first six months last year. Annualized return on equity for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 10.44% and 8.67%, while annualized return on assets was 1.07% and 0.83%, respectively. The increase in performance when comparing 2025 to 2024 was due to an increase in the net interest margin from 3.09% to 3.36% and a decrease in the provision for credit losses.
— Net interest income before the provision for credit loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $46,650,000 compared to $42,258,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in an increase of $4,392,000, or 10.4%. Average interest earning assets increased $49.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in taxable investments and outstanding student loans. Average loans increased $36.6 million while average investment securities increased $19.2 million. The yield on interest earning assets increased 6 basis points to 5.58%, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 24 basis points to 2.75%. As a result, the tax effected net interest margin increased from 3.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
— The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,375,000 compared to $2,787,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $1,412,000. The provision for 2025 was due to an increase in past due loans and the annual update of loss drivers, which includes historical loss data, as well as prepayment and curtailment speeds. The provision for 2024 was impacted by the Braavo loans as previously mentioned and an increase in past due and classified loans during the second quarter of 2024.
— Total non-interest income was $7,092,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which is $1,215,000 less than the non-interest income of $8,307,000 for the same period last year. The primary drivers were the gain on the sale of assets associated with Braavo and earnings on bank owned life insurance due to the passing of a former employee in the first quarter of 2024.
— Total non-interest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $32,575,000 compared to $32,889,000 for the same period last year, which is a decrease of $314,000. Salary and benefit costs increased $358,000 due to additional healthcare expenses and post-employment benefits. There are 11 fewer FTES in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease in professional fees and software costs is due to the sale of the Braavo division in 2024.
— The provision for income taxes increased $1,118,000 when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2025 to the same period in 2024 as a result of an increase in income before income tax of $4,903,000.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to 2024
— For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net income totaled $8,463,000 which compares to net income of $5,275,000 for the comparable period of 2024, an increase of $3,188,000 or 60.4%. Basic earnings per share of $1.76 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compares to $1.10 for the 2024 comparable period. Annualized return on equity for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 10.88% and 7.40%, while annualized return on assets was 1.13% and 0.72%, respectively.
— Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $23,648,000 compared to $21,300,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in an increase of $2,348,000, or 11.0%. Average interest earning assets increased $47.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increases in the average balance of outstanding student loans and taxable investments. Average loans increased $24.4 million, while average investment securities increased $23.1 million. The tax effected net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 3.47% compared to 3.15% for the same period last year. The yield on interest earning assets increased eight basis points to 5.66%, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 27 basis points to 2.73%.
— The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025 of $750,000 was driven by the increase in past due commercial loans, which primarily related to one commercial real estate relationship in our central Pennsylvania market that totaled $14.4 million. The provision for credit losses for 2024 period was impacted by the Braavo loans as previously mentioned and an increase in past due and classified loans during the second quarter of 2024.
— Total non-interest income was $3,665,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, $329,000 more than the comparable period last year. The primary drivers of the increase were an increase in the gains on loans sold of $260,000 and an increase in equity security gains of $120,000 due to market conditions.
— Total non-interest expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $16,147,000 compared to $16,246,000 for the same period last year, which is a decrease of $99,000, or 0.6%. Salary and employee benefits increased due to healthcare costs, profit sharing, vacation costs and other post-retirement benefits. ORE expenses decreased due to the recovery of legal fees on certain loans in the second quarter of 2025.
— The provision for income taxes increased $840,000 when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2025 to the same period in 2024. This increase was attributable to increase in income before provision for income taxes of $4,028,000. The effective tax rate was 18.8% and 17.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Balance Sheet and Other Information:
— At June 30, 2025, total assets were $2.97 billion compared to $3.03 billion at December 31, 2024 and $2.95 billion at June 30, 2024. The loan to deposit ratio as of June 30, 2025 was 97.78% compared to 97.21% as of December 31, 2024 and 99.24% as of June 30, 2024.
— Available for sale securities of $431.6 million at June 30, 2025 increased $5.7 million from December 31, 2024 and $29.0 million from June 30, 2024. The yield on the investment portfolio increased from 2.32% to 2.89% on a tax equivalent basis due to securities purchased during a higher market interest rate environment and lower yielding securities maturing. Investment activity for 2025 has focused on replacing securities as they mature.
— Net loans totaled $2.22 billion at June 30, 2025 and $2.29 billion at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $71.9 million. As of June 30, 2024, net loans totaled $2.23 billion. The decrease in net loans since year end and last year was due to the seasonality of the Company's student loan portfolio. This portfolio grows during the second half of the year and then pays down during the first half of the year. This seasonal behavior corresponds to the typical college semester and year.
— The allowance for credit losses – loans totaled $22,109,000 at June 30, 2025 which is an increase of $410,000 from December 31, 2024 and is due to increases in past due loans and changes in expected prepayment speeds and economic forecasts. The provision for credit losses on loans was $1,137,000 for the first half of 2025. Loan recoveries and charge-offs were $54,000 and $781,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans was 0.99% as of June 30, 2025 and 0.94% as of December 31, 2024.
— Deposits decreased $89.4 million from December 31, 2024, to $2.29 billion at June 30, 2025. Competitive pressure for deposits remains high. Brokered CD's have decreased $33.1 million since December 31, 2024. Additionally, a school district in our southeastern Pennsylvania market saw a decrease in their balance of $68.3 million due to utilizing funds until they collect their local real estate taxes in the third quarter.
— Borrowed funds totaled $313.2 million as of June 30, 2025, a $15.5 million increase from December 31, 2024 to fund the investment growth since year-end.
— Stockholders' equity totaled $313.7 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $299.7 million at December 31, 2024, an increase of $13.9 million. Excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL), stockholders' equity increased $11.4 million and totals $334.7 million (non-GAAP). The increase in stockholders' equity was attributable to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaling $16.1 million, offset by cash dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaling $4.6 million. As a result of decreases in market interest rates impacting the fair value of investment securities and swaps, AOCL decreased $2.5 million from December 31, 2024.
