TimTalk Shareholders Update Timothy (Tim) G. Henry President and CEO We believe that our success and the vitality of our communities are intimately linked An Ideal Time to Build on Our Strengths I am pleased to report that the second quarter ranked as the second highest quarter of earnings in Franklin Financial Services Corporation’s history. As proud as we are of the financial performance we have achieved, I feel there are a number of other strides we have made that are important for our continued success. The first is the reputation we have developed as a community bank with a strong sense of corporate responsibility. This quarter, we continued our long-standing tradition of giving back to the communities we serve through financial investments and employee volunteer work. As a company, we believe that our success and the vitality of our communities are intimately linked. Helping our communities grow by meeting the needs of their residents and local businesses is good for everyone and the right thing to do. While our reputation among the communities we serve is critical to our success, our people remain our greatest strength. At the end of the day, everything we do is based upon the abilities and character of our team. To that end, we recently welcomed back two employees to key positions in the bank, both of whom are focusing their efforts on generating and growing core deposits: Cynthia Marconi and Brian Reidell as Treasury Manager and Deposit Product Officer respectively. We also announced the appointment of a new Director to the Franklin Financial Services Corporation and F&M Trust Board of Directors: Kimberly Rzomp, who is the Chief Financial Officer at Wellspan Summit Health. For more information about our new hires, see page 5. Another significant milestone for Franklin Financial Services Corporation is our listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market on May 1, 2019 and our inclusion in the Russell 2000 Index. These developments represent an opportunity to further increase our visibility and exposure among investors and increase shareholder value. I am proud of our company and how we serve our customers. I believe we can bring additional shareholder value by continuing our focus on building core customer relationships, investing in new technology and distribution channels and further leveraging our listing on the Nasdaq. By pushing ourselves to keep evolving, I have confidence that we will unlock additional growth opportunities. We had a very good second quarter marked by good profitability, entry into the Nasdaq Stock Market and the addition of key people who will further the growth of the company. The challenge is to continue to build on this success, and I am confident at our abilities to do so. I appreciate your continued support and confidence in your company. Sincerely yours, Timothy G.

Client Spotlight An Eventful Partnership Bill Miller, Jr. Co-Owner, Carlisle Events; Dave Zimmerman, Senior Commercial Services Relationship Manager, F&M Trust; Harold Brandt, CFO, Carlisle Events; Lance Miller, Co-Owner, Carlisle Events. CARLISLE EVENTS Carlisle, Pa. When Chip and Bill Miller hosted their first car show at the Carlisle Fairgrounds in 1974, they never could have envisioned the success that would be Carlisle Events. Today, Carlisle is home to the largest car and truck collector events in the nation. More than half a million guests from around the world visit the shows annually. Carlisle Events is giving car lovers another reason to visit the area. The company is redeveloping a 48-acre, vacant lot where a massive manufacturing facility once stood. The mixed-use project will include a hotel, restaurants, retail and office spaces, a three-acre public park with trails, and car condominiums (with multiple-car garages and living spaces). “F&M Trust has been great. They believe in this project, and have been aggressive to lend the money to make this happen,” said Harold Brandt, CFO of Carlisle Events. Having enjoyed a strong working relationship with F&M Trust’s Dave Zimmerman, Brandt noted, “The whole financing deal has gone beyond what anyone could hope for. It’s a construction project, so there’s something that always pops up. Dave completely understands the impact of weather and the constraints of construction.” As the company grows, F&M Trust will continue tailoring financial solutions to meet Carlisle Event’s unique needs. That’s Banking Done Your Way. “ F&M Trust has been great. They believe in this project, and have been aggressive to lend the money to make this happen.” HAROLD BRANDT CFO – CARLISLE EVENTS Helpful Ways Creating Stronger, Healthier Communities F&M Trust recognizes that long-term business success depends on community success.
