Timothy (Tim) G. Henry President & CEO TIMTALK Q4 Franklin Financial reported consolidated earnings of $4.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to fourth quarter 2020 earnings of $4.6 million and first quarter 2020 earnings of $1.7 million. Fortunately, after a long year, full of challenges like we’ve never before experienced, it seems we are edging toward normal. As such, in March, we reopened our Community Offices lobbies to customers, with regular business hours. Notably, the Board of Directors voted to increase the second quarter 2021 dividend from $.30 to $.31 per share, which represents a 3.3 percent increase. Last year very few banks raised their dividend, and in fact, many cut their dividend. We were able to responsibly maintain our dividend throughout the year, and it is nice to be able to do a little more for you, our shareholders, as we end the first quarter of 2021. Supporting our communities continues to be the very core of who we are as a community bank. And the Covid-19 pandemic has not prevented us from investing heavily in Central Pennsylvania. To that end, we were honored to be the presenting sponsor of Health Care Heroes Appreciation Week. Additional information about the week can be found on page 6. While we have grown a great deal and become more resilient as a company, we are excited to be taking a step toward, what we hope, is a more normal year. Thank you for your continued support and trust. Sincerely yours, Timothy G.

His facility opened in 2019, and offers state-of-the-art features such as video surveillance, license plate reader, climate controlled units, LED lighting, and coded gate entry. It’s a project he completed with the help of F&M Trust. “Rates and terms are important, but at the end of the day, you want to deal with somebody on the local level. If you need to have somebody come out and look at the site for funding, or whatever it may be, F&M Trust has that local touch,” Hattingh said.

And you deal with somebody who you feel you can talk to,” Hattingh explained. “When push comes to shove, you deal with people you like.

HEALTH CARE HEROES WEEK F&M Trust was honored to serve as the presenting sponsor for Franklin County’s Health Care Heroes Week. As an integral part of our community, F&M Trust believes that it is our responsibility to improve the lives of those around us and give back to the communities we serve. Supporting our neighbors is the very core of who we are as a community bank. We invest heavily in our communities both financially and through volunteer work. In fact, last year, we were happy to be able to donate $100,000 to support Covid-19 relief efforts across South Central PA. And because we respect and honor our health care workers now more than ever, sponsoring Health Care Heroes Appreciation Week was an easy decision. We know that not all heroes wear capes. And in the case of Covid-19, the most important ones wear scrubs. Helpful Ways Our most important heroes wear scrubs not capes !

As a community bank, we view it as our responsibility to contribute to the efforts of the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank as they work to help those who are struggling to keep themselves and their families fed. We hold a deep appreciation and respect for the impact the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank has in our communities, and we are very pleased to make this contribution,” said Tim Henry, president and CEO of F&M Trust. “We are grateful for this generous gift from F&M Trust, which will allow us to provide more than 120,000 healthy, nutritious meals to communities in central PA,” said Joe Arthur, executive director of the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. “As we transition into the recovery phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, this gift will help thousands of families, children, seniors and veterans who are still working to get back on their feet in the wake of the health and economic crisis.” Banking Done Your Way 1.888.264.6116 fmtrust.bank
