Commercial, residential and personal loans are made to customers geographically concentrated in Northcentral Pennsylvania, the Southern tier of New York State, Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southcentral Pennsylvania.

The Corporation uses an internal risk rating system. Under the risk rating system, the Corporation classifies problem or potential problem loans as “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” or “Doubtful” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values. Loans that do not currently expose the Corporation to sufficient risk to warrant classification as Substandard or Doubtful, but possess weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention, are deemed to be Special Mention. Substandard loans include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Risk ratings are updated any time that conditions or the situation warrants. Loans not classified are included in the “Pass” rows in the table that follows.

The Corporation has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following discussion provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:

Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate.
All other commercial loans include loans typically secured by business assets, including inventory, equipment and receivables. This category also included commercial construction and land loans and some commercial lines of credit that are secured by real estate.
Residential mortgage loans are typically secured by first mortgages, and, in some cases, could be secured by a second mortgage.
Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral.

The following table details the amortized cost of collateral dependent loans, which are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses, and the related allowance for credit losses allocated to these loans:

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of the consolidated balance sheet date. The ACL on loans includes two primary components: (i) an allowance established on loans which share similar risk characteristics which are collectively evaluated for credit losses, and (ii) an allowance established on loans which do not share similar risk characteristics with any loan segment and which are individually evaluated for credit losses.

Management determines the ACL on loans that are collectively evaluated by considering the following: (a) the weighted-average remaining maturity (WARM) method is used to estimate credit losses, based on the Corporation’s historical loss experience, for pools of loans with similar risk and cash flow characteristics; (b) subjective adjustments are made, generally increasing the ACL, for qualitative risk factors that are deemed likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience; and (c) an additional adjustment to expected credit losses is made, based on an economic forecast, and applied for the first 2 years of the weighted-average remaining life of the portfolio.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the allowance for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The ACL on loans individually evaluated decreased to $51,000 at September 30, 2025 from $122,000 at December 31, 2024.  At September 30, 2025, there was a loan to one borrower with a amortized cost basis of $263,000 for which an individual ACL was recorded. At December 31, 2024, there were loans to one borrower with a total amortized cost basis of $258,000 for which an individual ACL was recorded.

The ACL on loans collectively evaluated was $23,423,000 at September 30, 2025, up from $19,913,000 at December 31, 2024. The increase in the collectively evaluated portion of the ACL at September 30, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024 included a net increase related to changes in qualitative adjustments, partially offset by a decrease in the portion of the ACL based on the WARM method estimated losses resulting partially from a reduction in the estimated average life of the portfolio. The increase in the ACL at September 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024 related to changes in qualitative adjustments included increases in estimates based on: the volume and severity of past due, nonaccrual and criticized or adversely classified loans; regional and local economic conditions; and regional values of residential housing.

Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The Corporation closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Corporation made no modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

The following table presents the performance of such loans that have been modified in the twelve-month period preceding September 30, 2025 and the twelve-month period preceding September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

Included in performance of loans modified in the twelve-month period preceding September 30, 2025 table above, was one loan secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate with an amortized cost basis of $1,781,000 that was in nonaccrual status at September 30, 2025. The Corporation had extended the maturity of that loan for 12 months in the fourth quarter 2023. In 2024, the borrower continued to experience financial difficulty, and the Corporation provided another six-month extension of the maturity. The Corporation recorded a partial charge-off of $640,000 on this loan in 2024. There was no specific ACL on this loan at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The loan that was past due more than 90 days at September 30, 2024 in the table above was in default with its modified terms at September 30, 2024. The Corporation received payments totaling $264,000 in the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2025, all of which were applied to principal. The amortized cost basis of the loan was $1,093,000 at September 30, 2025.

The Corporation had no commitments to lend any additional funds on modified loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the Corporation had no loans that defaulted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 that had been modified preceding the payment default when the borrower was experiencing financial difficulty at the time of modification.

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers.

The Corporation maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, commercial letters of credit and credit enhancement obligations related to residential mortgage loans sold with recourse, when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable (i.e. commitment cannot be canceled at any time). The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through the provision for credit losses. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over their estimated lives. The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures of $1,036,000 at September 30, 2025 and $455,000 at December 31, 2024, is included in accrued interest and other liabilities on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
