Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2016 Earnings

YORK, Pa., Oct. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (Codorus Valley, or the Corporation) CVLY, parent company of PeoplesBank, a Codorus Valley Company (PeoplesBank), today announced net income available to common shareholders (earnings) of $3.4 million or $0.41 per share basic and $0.40 per share diluted, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, as compared to earnings of $3.0 million or $0.46 per share basic and $0.45 per share diluted, for the third quarter of 2015.  For the first nine months of 2016, earnings were $9.2 million or $1.10 per share basic and $1.09 per share diluted, compared to $8.3 million or $1.28 per share basic and $1.27 per share diluted.  Earnings per share as reported were adjusted for a 5 percent stock dividend declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on October 11, 2016, and payable on December 13, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 25, 2016.  The decrease in earnings per share was primarily a result of the 1,746,850 common shares issued in the $34.5 million public offering completed in December 2015.

In addition to the stock dividend, on October 11, 2016, the Board of Directors also declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share, payable on November 8, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 25, 2016.  The quarterly cash dividend is the same amount paid as in the previous quarter.

The Corporation's net interest income for the third quarter of 2016 was $13.4 million, an increase of $1.4 million or 12 percent when compared to the net interest income of $12.0 million for the third quarter of 2015.  The growth was driven by an increased volume of interest earning assets, primarily commercial loans.  For the first nine months of 2016, net interest income was $39.6 million, reflecting an increase of $4.0 million or 11 percent compared to $35.5 million for the first nine months of 2015.  The Corporation's net interest margin was 3.88 percent for the first nine months of 2016, a slight increase over the net interest margin of 3.82 percent for the same period in 2015.  PeoplesBank continues to have success in growing low cost core deposits, while maintaining reasonable loan yields in a highly competitive pricing environment.

The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2016 was $800,000, a $300,000 increase as compared to a provision of $500,000 for the third quarter of 2015.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the provision for loan losses was $2.4 million compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The increased provision for 2016 supported the Corporation's substantial commercial loan growth and reflected the Corporation's analysis of the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses.  Due to continued collection and successful workout efforts, the Corporation's nonperforming assets ratio was 0.44 percent as of September 30, 2016, reflecting a favorable year-over-year decrease when compared to a nonperforming asset ratio of 0.77 percent as of September 30, 2015.

Noninterest income, excluding gain on sales of investment securities, for the third quarter of 2016 was $2.6 million, an increase of 16 percent compared to noninterest income of $2.2 million for the third quarter 2015.  For the first nine months of 2016, noninterest income, excluding gain on sales of investment securities, was $7.2 million, an increase of 14 percent compared to $6.3 million for the first nine months of 2015.  The increase in noninterest income was attributed primarily to increases in wealth management income, service charges on deposit accounts, income from bank owned life insurance and gains from sales of mortgage loans.  Gain on sales of investment securities decreased $121,000 during the third quarter of 2016 in comparison to 2015 and decreased $298,000 for the first nine months of 2016 in comparison to 2015.

Noninterest expense was $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2016, an increase of 7 percent as compared to noninterest expense of $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2015.  For the first nine months of 2016, noninterest expenses totaled $31.1 million, an increase of 11 percent compared to $28.1 million for the first nine months of 2015.  Higher personnel, occupancy, furniture and equipment, marketing, debit card processing and external data processing expenses accounted for the majority of the increase.  In addition, the first nine months of 2015 included $474,000 of nonrecurring costs associated with the acquisition of Madison Bancorp, Inc. 

"We are pleased with the Corporation's continued strong financial performance in 2016.  Our core business lines have shown tremendous growth, with our loan portfolio increasing by $84.6 million, our deposit portfolio by $127.9 million, and our wealth management assets under management by $50.5 million.  This has had a positive impact on our net interest margin and fee-based income.  Recently released FDIC data also confirms that PeoplesBank posted strong deposit market share gains in its core York County, Pennsylvania market as the Bank successfully attracted a significant number of new clients during the recent market disruption caused by merger activity among our competitors," said Larry J. Miller, Chairman, President and CEO.

"In the coming weeks, we will continue our expansion into the rapidly-growing Lancaster County, Pennsylvania market with the opening of a new Loan Production Office at 3302 Hempland Road.  This conveniently-located office will house Commercial Relationship Officers and their support staff as they expand existing and establish new relationships with businesses throughout the market.  In addition, PeoplesBank has filed appropriate regulatory applications to provide on-site banking services at several Lancaster County retirement communities beginning in late 2016 and early 2017.  This unique business niche has allowed PeoplesBank to expand its client base in a low-cost efficient manner."

Mr. Miller continued, "While we have many positives to report to you, it is also with profound sadness that I share with you news of the recent passing of our dear friend and former member of the Board of Directors, Donald H. Warner.  Don served our Company as a member of the Board of Directors for twenty years until he reached mandatory retirement age in 2010.  His contributions to our Company are far too numerous to list.  Everyone who knew Don will miss his wise counsel, cheerful personality, and friendly spirit.  We extend our deepest condolences to his wife, Ruth, their children, and their extended families."
