Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Management evaluates all of the Corporation’s securities for other than temporary impairment (OTTI) on a periodic basis. Prior to June 30, 2014, the Corporation had a small number of private collateralized mortgage obligations (PCMOs) of which all but one had impairment recorded at some point in the past. During the second quarter of 2014, the three PCMOs remaining in the Corporation’s securities portfolio were sold. No other securities in the portfolio had other-than-temporary impairment recorded in 2014.

 

Information pertaining to securities with gross unrealized losses at September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position follows:

There were four equity securities that were considered temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014, but none at December 31, 2013. The temporarily impaired equity securities are all bank stocks held at the holding company which are subject to market value adjustments based on volatile stock prices. In the debt security portfolio, there are 95 positions that were considered temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014. There were no instruments considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014.

 

The Corporation evaluates both equity and fixed maturity positions for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic and market concerns warrant such evaluation. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for the bifurcation of OTTI into two categories: (a) the amount of the total OTTI related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss), which is recognized in earnings, and (b) the amount of total OTTI related to all other factors, which is recognized, net of taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. This accounting treatment was only applicable to two of the Corporation’s PCMOs in the first quarter of 2014, but both of those securities were sold in the second quarter of 2014, resulting in no further impairment charges.

Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

The prior impairment on the PCMOs was a result of a deterioration of expected cash flows on those securities due to higher projected credit losses than the amount of credit protection carried by those securities. Specifically, the foreclosure and severity rates had been running at levels where expected principal losses were in excess of the remaining credit protection on those instruments. The projected principal losses were based on prepayment speeds that were equal to or slower than the actual last twelve-month prepayment speeds the particular securities had experienced. Every quarter prior to the second quarter of 2014, management evaluated third-party reporting that showed projected principal losses based on various prepayment speed and severity rate scenarios. Based on the assumption that all loans over 60 days delinquent would default and at a severity rate equal to or above that previously experienced, and based on historical and expected prepayment speeds, management determined that it was appropriate to take an additional $22,000 of impairment on one PCMO in the first quarter of 2014. Because all of the remaining PCMOs were sold in the second quarter of 2014, no further impairment was recorded on these bonds in 2014 and future impairment analysis will cease for this segment since it was completely sold off.

 

The following tables reflect the amortized cost, market value, and unrealized loss as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, on the PCMO securities held which had impairment taken in each respective year. In 2014, there was one PCMO that had impairment taken during the first quarter prior to the sale of the remaining PCMO portfolio. In 2013, there were three PCMOs that had impairment taken in the year-to-date period. The values shown below are after the Corporation recorded year-to-date impairment charges of $22,000 through September 30, 2014, and $157,000 through September 30, 2013. The $22,000 and $157,000 are deemed to be credit losses and are the amounts that management expects the principal losses would be by the time these securities mature. The remaining $166,000 of unrealized losses as of September 30, 2013, was deemed to be market value losses that were considered temporary. Because all of the remaining PCMO securities were sold during the second quarter of 2014, there are no temporary market value losses remaining at September 30, 2014.

The Corporation grades commercial credits differently than consumer credits. The following tables represent all of the Corporation’s commercial credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations under the loan agreements as scheduled. The Corporation's internal commercial credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

 

The Corporation's internally assigned grades for commercial credits are as follows:

 

·Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

 

·Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected. 

 

·Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

·Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset.  In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

 

·Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

Interest income on impaired loans would have increased by approximately $9,000 and $32,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $22,000 and $64,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, had these loans performed in accordance with their original terms.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no loan modifications made that would cause a loan to be considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). A TDR is a loan where management has granted a concession to the borrower from the original terms. A concession is generally granted in order to improve the financial condition of the borrower and improve the likelihood of full collection by the lender. A concession is generally defined as more favorable payment or credit terms granted to a borrower in an effort to improve the likelihood of the lender collecting principal in its entirety. Concessions usually are in the form of interest only for a period of time, or a lower interest rate offered in an effort to enable the borrower to continue to make normally scheduled payments.

(1) The Corporation recognized a $200,000 credit provision in the first quarter of 2014 and a $100,000 credit provision in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of lower levels of substandard loans, and continued  low levels of total classified loans, impaired loans, non-accrual loans, recoveries in excess of charge-offs, continuing declines in historic loss ratio, and improving qualitative factors.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, credit provisions were recorded for the commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer loan categories while there was a small provision expense required for the consumer real estate loan category. There have been no commercial loan charge-offs during the past year, which reduced the historical loss rates and ultimately resulted in a lower required reserve amount for the commercial loan categories. Qualitative factors have been shifting, with some increasing and some decreasing, but overall, qualitative factors across the board have been declining. Conversely, factors in the allowance calculation related to consumer real estate were increased in the first nine months of 2014 as a result of the mortgage initiative and focus on increasing volume in this area.

(1) The Corporation recognized a $50,000 credit provision in the first quarter of 2013, and a $100,000 credit provision in the second quarter of 2013, with no provision recorded in the third quarter of 2013, for a total year-to-date credit provision of $150,000, as a result of lower levels of non-performing and delinquent loans, and minimum charge-offs.

 

During the first quarter of 2013, a large commercial real estate (CRE) loan was upgraded and was no longer considered substandard, reducing the required provision for this loan type. Conversely, a commercial and industrial (C&I) loan moved from pass to substandard increasing the related required provision. In the second quarter of 2013, paydowns and payoffs of C&I loans reduced the required provision. This continued in the third quarter of 2013 including the upgrading of a C&I loan. The sharp third quarter increase in both commercial real estate and agricultural real estate loans, which are included in the same column, was primarily responsible for the sharp increase in the provision for these loans.

4. Fair Value Presentation

 

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles establish a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of observable pricing utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level I: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

 

Level II: Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

 

Level III: Assets and liabilities that have little to no observable pricing as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

 

The following tables present the assets reported on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value as of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

On September 30, 2014, the Corporation held no securities valued using level III inputs. All of the Corporation’s debt instruments were valued using level II inputs, where quoted prices are available and observable, but not necessarily quotes on identical securities traded in active markets on a daily basis. The Corporation’s CRA fund investments and bank stocks are fair valued utilizing level I inputs because the funds have their own quoted prices in an active market. As of September 30, 2014, the CRA fund investments had a $5,000,000 book and fair market value and the bank stock portfolio had a book value of $376,000, and fair market value of $363,000.

On December 31, 2013, the Corporation held no securities valued using level III inputs. All of the Corporation’s debt instruments were valued using level II inputs, where quoted prices are available and observable but not necessarily quotes on identical securities traded in active markets on a daily basis. As of December 31, 2013, the Corporation’s CRA fund investments had a book and fair market value of $5,000,000 and the bank stock portfolio had a book value of $151,000 and a market value of $171,000 utilizing level I pricing.

 

Financial instruments are considered level III when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for level III financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable either directly or indirectly. Level III financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. There were no level III securities as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

 

The following tables present the assets measured on a nonrecurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Other real estate owned (OREO) is measured at fair value, less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management. The assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The Corporation’s OREO balance consisted of one residential property that was classified as OREO as of September 30, 2014, and a different residential property that was classified as OREO as of December 31, 2013, and sold prior to September 30, 2014. Management has estimated the current value of the OREO property held at September 30, 2014, at $24,000 utilizing level III pricing. Income and expenses from operations and changes in valuation allowance are included in the net expenses from OREO.

 

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for which the Corporation has utilized level III inputs to determine fair value:

5.Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

25
Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Securities Available for Sale

Management utilizes quoted market pricing for the fair value of the Corporation's securities that are available for sale, if available. If a quoted market rate is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

 

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are individual loans for which the Corporation has a firm sales commitment; therefore, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value.

 

Loans

The fair value of fixed and variable rate loans is estimated by discounting back the scheduled future cash flows of the particular loan product, using the market interest rates of comparable loan products in the Corporation’s greater market area, with the same general structure, comparable credit ratings, and for the same remaining maturities.

 

Regulatory Stock

Regulatory stock is valued at a stable dollar price, which is the price used to purchase or liquidate shares; therefore, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Deposits

The fair value of non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts and interest bearing demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts is based on the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated by discounting back the expected cash flows of the time deposit using market interest rates from the Corporation’s greater market area currently offered for similar time deposits with similar remaining maturities.

 

Borrowings

The fair value of a term borrowing is estimated by comparing the rate currently offered for the same type of borrowing instrument with a matching remaining term.

 

Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount of accrued interest payable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Firm Commitments to Extend Credit, Lines of Credit, and Open Letters of Credit

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment or letter of credit, and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment, using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, is not considered material for disclosure purposes. The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments are presented in Note 6.

6. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

 

In order to meet the financing needs of its customers in the normal course of business, the Corporation makes various commitments that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These commitments include firm commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and open letters of credit. As of September 30, 2014, firm loan commitments were $14.3 million, unused lines of credit were $142.9 million, and open letters of credit were $10.3 million. The total of these commitments was $167.5 million, which represents the Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by its customers with respect to these financial instruments. The actual credit losses that may arise from these commitments are expected to compare favorably with the Corporation’s loan loss experience on its loan portfolio taken as a whole. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for balance sheet financial instruments.

8. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, Financial Services – Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in this Update affect the scope, measurement, and disclosure requirements for investment companies under U.S. GAAP. The amendments do all of the following: (1) change the approach to the investment company assessment in Topic 946, clarify the characteristics of an investment company, and provide comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company; (2) require an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting; and (3) require the following additional disclosures: (a) the fact that the entity is an investment company and is applying the guidance in Topic 946, (b) information about changes, if any, in an entity’s status as an investment company, and (c) information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to any of its investees. The amendments in this Update are effective for an entity’s interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. Earlier application is prohibited. This Update became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2014, and did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

 

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The amendments in this Update permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. A reporting entity that uses the effective yield method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects before the date of adoption may continue to apply the effective yield method for those preexisting investments. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

 

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments in this Update clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments in this Update using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a new revenue recognition standard). The Update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this update specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Corporation is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting Update.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The amendments in this Update change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting. For repurchase financing arrangements, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. The amendments also require enhanced disclosures. The accounting changes in this Update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity is required to present changes in accounting for transactions outstanding on the effective date as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Earlier application is prohibited. The disclosure for certain transactions accounted for as a sale is required to be presented for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and the disclosure for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The disclosures are not required to be presented for comparative periods before the effective date. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments when the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40). The amendments in this Update require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure, (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim, and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements -Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The amendments in this Update provide guidance in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Results of Operations

 

Overview

The Corporation recorded net income of $1,712,000 and $5,290,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively, a 1.7% and 5.0% decrease, from the $1,741,000 and $5,571,000 earned during the same periods in 2013. The earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.60 and $1.85 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $0.61 and $1.95 for the same periods in 2013.

 

The two primary reasons for the decline in earnings were an increase in operational expenses and a decline in gains on security transactions for the year-to-date period. Operating expenses increased by $420,000, or 7.9%, and $1,155,000, or 7.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The operational expense increases were largely the result of two additional branches opened during 2013 and the expansion of the Corporation’s mortgage division in 2014 and the corresponding costs associated therewith. Net gains on securities increased by $87,000, or 16.2%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, but decreased by $325,000, or 14.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. More detail is provided under the Other Income and Operating Expense sections under Results of Operations.

 

The Corporation’s net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, increased from the same periods in 2013. Net interest income was $5,541,000 for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $5,423,000 for the same quarter of 2013, a $118,000, or 2.2% increase. Year-to-date net interest income was $16,804,000 as of September 30, 2014, an $897,000, or 5.6% increase from the $15,907,000 earned in the first nine months of 2013. The Corporation’s net interest margin was 3.02% for the third quarter of 2014, compared to 3.18% for the third quarter of 2013. The Corporation’s year-to-date net interest margin was 3.11% through September 30, 2014, compared to 3.16% for the same period in 2013.

 

The Corporation recorded no provision expense or credit provision for the third quarters of 2014 or 2013, but recorded a credit provision for loan losses of $300,000 for the year-to-date period compared to a credit provision of $150,000 for the respective period in 2013. Improvements in asset quality, as evidenced by low levels of non-performing and delinquent loans, and minimal charge-offs allowed the Corporation to reverse a portion of the allowance for loan losses into earnings in 2013 and 2014, while still maintaining sufficient coverage ratios. With the credit provisions in 2013 and 2014, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans declined to 1.52% as of September 30, 2014, compared to 1.67% as of September 30, 2013. More detail is provided in the Provision for Loan Losses section that follows and the Allowance for Loan Losses section under Financial Condition.

 

The financial services industry uses two primary performance measurements to gauge performance: return on average assets (ROA) and return on average equity (ROE). ROA measures how efficiently a bank generates income based on the amount of assets or size of a company. ROE measures the efficiency of a company in generating income based on the amount of equity or capital utilized. The latter measurement typically receives more attention from shareholders. The ROA and ROE decreased for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in the prior year due to the decrease in the Corporation’s income and an increase in capital levels.

The results of the Corporation’s operations are best explained by addressing, in further detail, the five major sections of the income statement, which are as follows:

 

·Net interest income
·Provision for loan losses

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

·Other income
·Operating expenses
·Provision for income taxes

 

The following discussion analyzes each of these five components.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income (NII) represents the largest portion of the Corporation’s operating income. In the first nine months of 2014, NII generated 71.7% of the Corporation’s gross revenue stream, which consists of net interest income and non-interest income, compared to 70.5% in the first nine months of 2013. The overall performance of the Corporation is highly dependent on the changes in net interest income since it comprises such a significant portion of operating income.

 

The following table shows a summary analysis of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis. For analytical purposes and throughout this discussion, yields, rates, and measurements such as NII, net interest spread, and net yield on interest earning assets are presented on an FTE basis. The FTE net interest income shown in both tables below will exceed the NII reported on the consolidated statements of income, which is not shown on an FTE basis. The amount of FTE adjustment totaled $468,000 and $1,415,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $548,000 and $1,684,000 for the same periods in 2013.

NII is the difference between interest income earned on assets and interest expense incurred on liabilities. Accordingly, two factors affect net interest income:

 

·The rates charged on interest earning assets and paid on interest bearing liabilities
·The average balance of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities

 

The Federal funds rate, the Prime rate, and the shape of the U.S. Treasury curve all affect net interest income, in addition to all of the economic, competitive, and regulatory factors previously listed.

 

The Federal funds rate, which is the overnight rate that financial institutions charge other financial institutions to buy or sell overnight funds, has been at 0.25% since December 15, 2008, and is expected to remain there into 2015. The Prime rate typically moves in tandem with the Federal funds rate and similarly has not moved from its historical low of 3.25% since December of 2008. In addition to the current interest rate cycle being the lowest in U.S. history, it has also remained at the bottom far longer than any other rate cycle.

 

The fact that the Federal funds rate and the Prime rate have remained at these very low levels for over five years has had offsetting positive and negative impacts to the Corporation’s NII; however, the long-term trend has been lower NII and margin. The decrease in the Federal funds rate has reduced the cost of funds on overnight borrowings and allowed lower interest rates paid on deposits, reducing the Corporation’s interest expense, while the decrease in the Prime rate has reduced the yield on the Corporation’s Prime-based loans. The Corporation’s fixed rate loans do not reprice as rates change; however, with the steep decline in interest rates and a prolonged period with lower market rates, more customers have refinanced into lower fixed rate loans or moved into Prime-based loans. Due to heightened competitive pressures for the limited number of loan deals available, the Corporation has seen a decline in loan yields over the past few years. However, significant loan growth occurred in the last half of 2013, primarily from agricultural related loans. This resulted in higher average loan balances going into 2014, which acted to offset the declining yields. Additionally, yields on the Corporation’s securities had declined during the first half of 2014 as mid-term and longer term interest rates made a gradual decline. The 2014 declines in U.S. Treasury rates caused mortgage prepayments of principal to increase which in turn causes an increase in amortization on MBS and CMO securities purchased at a premium. This has a significant impact on both the yield and weighted average life of these securities. The faster amortization reduces the yield on the instrument; however the length or duration of the security is shorter. Further declines in loan and securities yields caused the margin for the third quarter of 2014 to be lower than the margin for the first and second quarters of 2014. Should market interest rates increase going forward the mortgage principal prepayments would be expected to slow, as well as the amortization on these securities. This would increase the yield on these securities which would be beneficial to the Corporation’s margin, however the other impact would be a lengthening of the average life of the security.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Short-term interest rates have remained very low over the past five years as a result of the economic recession and slow recovery. As of September 30, 2014, there was approximately 225 basis points of slope between the overnight rate of 0.25% and the 10-year U.S. Treasury around 2.50%. This represents a typical positive-sloped curve from an historical perspective. However, the slope of the yield curve was more favorable at the end of 2013 with 275 basis points of slope between the overnight rate and the 10-year rate. The positive slope of the yield curve has fluctuated many times in the past few years with the overnight rates remaining the same. During the third quarter of 2013, the 10-year U.S. Treasury reached a high of 2.98%, compared to a high of 2.65% during the third quarter of 2014. Similarly, the 10-year U.S. Treasury was as low as 2.48% in the third quarter of 2013, and 2.34% in the third quarter of 2014.

 

Management is closely focused on the direction of mid-term and long-term rates as these rates can change well ahead of any Federal Reserve action, and they influence the pricing of the Corporation’s interest-earning assets. There generally are offsetting impacts of market interest rate changes to the Corporation’s Income Statement and Balance Sheet. Higher longer-term interest rates bring higher reinvestment rates for securities and higher loan rates, which benefits NII. However, higher long-term interest rates would also cause devaluation of the Corporation’s securities portfolio, which needs to be marked to fair market value. This also makes it more difficult to sell securities at gains, which management has been actively doing while rates are lower. In addition to the impact on NII and securities gains, a significant rise in mid-term or long-term rates would have a large negative impact on the Corporation’s capital. The impact on the Corporation’s capital is discussed later in the Stockholders’ Equity section under Financial Condition.

 

On the liability side of the balance sheet, the Corporation’s deposits and borrowings generally price off overnight funds and the shorter U.S. Treasury rates. The very low short-term rates permitted management to continue to reduce the overall cost of funds during 2013 and into 2014. Typically, deposits and borrowings are priced off the one-year to five-year U.S. Treasury rates. These rates have also remained very low allowing management to continue to reprice time deposits and borrowings to lower levels.

 

While management prices the vast majority of liabilities off very low short-term rates, the Corporation’s loans and securities are priced off the higher 5-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury rates. As a result, the Corporation benefits from more slope in the U.S. Treasury curve. Additional slope provides higher yields for the Corporation’s assets relative to funding costs and therefore increases the net interest margin. Although long-term Treasury rates have increased significantly since early in 2013, management currently anticipates that the overnight interest rate and Prime rate will remain at these historically low levels through the remainder of 2014 and into 2015 because of the current economic conditions. It is also likely that the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield will trade in a higher range than early 2013, but will still remain low based on historical standards. Recent global concerns have driven longer-term Treasury rates down subsequent to September 30, 2014, but still above the lowest levels experienced in early 2013. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield recently dipped down to below 2.00% on an intraday low on October 16, 2014, and more recently rebounded to approximately 2.25%. This has caused a narrowing of the spread between the overnight rate and the 10-year U.S. Treasury to 200 basis points. Unchanged, the recently reduced slope in the yield curve will cause the Corporation’s margin to decline further, as most reinvestment in assets will occur at lower yields. The recent declines in U.S. Treasury rates are highly influenced by global concerns. Management expects this to be a short-term event with longer-term U.S. Treasury rates likely to increase over the remainder of the fourth quarter of 2014 and into 2015. This would provide more slope on the yield curve and increase the yields available on new loans or securities.

 

The prolonged period with a Prime rate of 3.25% has caused the yield on the Corporation’s loan portfolio to decline over a period of years. The longer the Prime Rate remained at 3.25%, the more opportunity retail and business customers had to convert their higher fixed rate loans to the lower Prime-based rate. Additionally, due to a highly competitive market for new loan deals, achieving higher yields on new business has been a challenge. Management anticipates that loan yields will increase with further improvements in the economy. This would support more loan growth. A better economy would likely coincide with higher mid-term and long-term rates as the Federal Reserve would continue to pull back on long-term asset purchases.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation’s margin was 3.02% for the third quarter of 2014, a sixteen basis-point decline from the 3.18% for the third quarter of 2013. For the year-to-date period, the Corporation’s margin was 3.11%, a 5 basis-point decrease from the 3.16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Although loan growth is occurring, it has been a challenge to increase loan pricing to the point where it is contributing to an increase in overall asset yield. As cost of funds savings become harder to achieve, the only way to materially increase net interest margin going forward will be through increases in asset yield. This was a challenge in the third quarter of 2014, and will likely remain a challenge in the foreseeable future. Any improvement in asset yields would be dependent on mid-term and longer-term interest rates increasing. This would assist with increased loan pricing and higher securities yields as a result of reduced amortization and higher yields being available at time of purchase.

 

For the third quarter of 2014, the Corporation’s NII on an FTE basis increased by $38,000, or 0.6%, compared to the same period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation’s NII on an FTE basis increased by $628,000, or 3.6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

As shown on the tables that follow, interest income, on an FTE basis for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, decreased by $129,000, or 1.8%, and interest expense decreased by $167,000, or 12.6%, compared to the same period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, on an FTE basis, interest income increased by $117,000, or 0.5%, and interest expense decreased by $511,000, or 12.5%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

The following tables show a more detailed analysis of net interest income on an FTE basis with all the major elements of the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets, which consists of interest earning and non-interest earning assets, and interest bearing and non-interest bearing liabilities. Additionally, the analysis provides the net interest spread and the net yield on interest earning assets. The net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest earning assets and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. A deficiency of the net interest spread is that it does not give credit for the non-interest bearing funds and capital used to fund a portion of the total interest earning assets. For this reason, management emphasizes the net yield on interest earning assets, also referred to as the net interest margin (NIM). The NIM is calculated by dividing net interest income on an FTE basis into total average interest earning assets. NIM is generally the benchmark used by analysts to measure how efficiently a bank generates net interest income. For example, a financial institution with a NIM of 3.50% would be able to use fewer interest-earning assets and still achieve the same level of net interest income as a financial institution with a NIM of 3.25%.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Loan yields were at historically low levels during 2013 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to the extended low-rate environment as well as extremely competitive pricing for the limited number of quality loan opportunities in the market. The Corporation’s loan yield decreased 22 basis points in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013, and decreased 26 basis points for the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. It is anticipated that these yields will improve slightly in the coming months as the economy improves and loan demand increases, reducing pricing pressures and intense competition for loans. Despite the lower yields, the growth in the loan portfolio resulted in interest income on loans increasing $44,000, or 0.9%, for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation’s interest income on loans increased $92,000, or 0.6%, compared to the same period in 2013.

 

Loan pricing was a challenge in 2013, and continues to be throughout 2014 as a result of intense competition resulting in fixed-rate loans being priced at very low levels and variable-rate loans priced at the Prime rate. The Prime rate is below typical fixed-rate business and commercial loans, which generally range between 3.50% and 6.00%, depending on term and credit risk. Management is able to price customers with higher levels of credit risk at Prime plus pricing but these rates are still generally below the fixed rate loan-pricing levels. Additionally, with the strong improvement to the credit quality of the Corporation’s loan portfolio there are fewer opportunities to price more credit risk into the loan rates. While Prime-based loans will aid the Corporation when interest rates rise, any increase in Prime-based loans will generally cause the Corporation’s average loan yield to decrease. The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) carefully monitors the NIM because it indicates trends in net interest income, the Corporation’s largest source of revenue. For more information on the plans and strategies in place to protect the NIM and moderate the impact of rising rates, please refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Earnings and yields on the Corporation’s securities declined by 41 basis points for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013. For the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2014, the yield on the securities portfolio decreased by 13 basis points compared to the same period in 2013. The Corporation’s securities portfolio consists of nearly all fixed income debt instruments. In the last half of 2013 and into 2014, when mid and long-term Treasury rates had increased, the Corporation was able to begin investing in the securities portfolio at slightly higher yields than had been available in the previous years. The Corporation’s taxable securities experienced a 13 basis-point increase in yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Meanwhile, pricing became tighter on tax-exempt securities where yields decreased by 40 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and 44 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. Spreads on tax-free municipal bonds tightened as the credit environment improved. Previously, the spreads on all municipal bonds were at highs affording better yields at purchase. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, but prior to the filing of this report, yields on new securities has been even more of a challenge with low Treasury rates resulting in few opportunities within the securities portfolio.

 

In the current rate environment with short-term rates extremely low and with small rate differences for longer-term deposits, the consumer is electing to stay short and maintain funds in accessible deposit instruments. As a result, the customer prefers keeping balances in both non-interest and interest bearing checking products and savings accounts. In addition to the consumer staying liquid with their available funds, there has been a general trend of funds flowing from time deposit accounts into both non-interest checking, NOW and savings accounts. The average balance of the Corporation’s interest bearing liabilities increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The average balance of time deposits declined during this period compared to 2013, but the other areas of NOW, MMDA, and savings grew sufficiently enough to compensate for the decline in time deposits, causing total interest bearing funds to increase. However, with more of the interest bearing funds in the form of NOW, MMDA, and savings accounts the average interest rate paid on these instruments is less than what is paid on time deposits, which will result in less interest expense.

 

Interest expense on deposits declined by $76,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and $308,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. Demand and savings deposits reprice in entirety whenever the offering rates are changed. This allows management to reduce interest costs rapidly; however, it becomes difficult to continue to gain cost savings once offering rates decline to these historically low levels. The annualized rate on interest bearing demand accounts was 0.18% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, compared to 0.18% for the prior year’s third quarter and 0.19% for the year-to-date period. The scope of further reductions in dollar amount of interest expense is very limited since rates cannot be reduced much lower. For the first nine months of 2014, the average balances of interest bearing demand deposits increased by $13.0 million, or 9.5%, over the same period in 2013, while the average balance of savings accounts increased by $9.0 million, or 7.6%. This increase in balances of lower cost accounts has helped to reduce the Corporation’s overall interest expense in 2014 compared to 2013.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Time deposits reprice over time according to their maturity schedule. This enables management to both reduce and increase rates slowly over time. During 2013 and through the first nine months of 2014, time deposit balances decreased. The decrease can be attributed to the lowest rates paid historically on time deposits, which has caused the differential between time deposit rates and rates on non-maturing deposits to be minimal. As a result, customers have elected to keep more of their funds in non-maturity deposits and less funds in time deposits. Because time deposits are the most expensive deposit product for the Corporation and the largest dollar expense from a funding standpoint, the reduction in time deposits, along with the increases in interest-bearing checking, savings, and non-interest bearing checking, has allowed the Corporation to achieve a lower cost and more balanced deposit funding position. The Corporation was able to reduce interest expense on time deposits by $84,000, or 10.9%, for the third quarter of 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, and $317,000, or 13.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Average balances decreased by $5.0 million, or 2.3%, and $7.7 million, or 3.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, respectively. The average annualized interest rate paid on time deposits decreased by 12 basis points for the three-month period and 14 basis points for the nine-month period when comparing both years.

 

The Corporation historically uses both short-term and long-term borrowings to supplement liquidity generated by deposit growth. Average short-term advances of $295,000 were utilized in the first nine months of 2013, while average short-term advances of $5,500,000 were utilized in the first nine months of 2014. Management has used long-term borrowings as part of an asset liability strategy to lengthen liabilities rather than as a source of liquidity. Average total borrowings increased by $3.1 million, or 4.6%, in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter in 2013, and $2.3 million, or 3.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Interest expense was $90,000, or 19.2% lower, for the three-month period and $203,000, or 14.0% lower, for the nine-month period when comparing 2014 to 2013.

 

The NIM was 3.02% for the third quarter of 2014, and 3.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 3.18% and 3.16% for the same periods in 2013. For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the net interest spread decreased twelve basis points to 2.80%, from 2.92% for the same period in 2013. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the net interest spread decreased one basis point to 2.88%, from 2.89% for the same period in 2013. The effect of non-interest bearing funds dropped four basis points for the three and nine-month periods compared to the prior year. The effect of non-interest bearing funds refers to the benefit gained from deposits on which the Corporation does not pay interest. As rates go lower, the benefit of non-interest bearing deposits is reduced because there is less difference between non-interest bearing funds and interest bearing liabilities. For example, if a savings account with $10,000 earns 1%, the benefit for $10,000 of non-interest bearing deposits is equivalent to $100; but if the savings rate is reduced to 0.20%, then the benefit of the non-interest bearing funds is only $20. This assumes dollar-for-dollar replacement, which is not realistic, but demonstrates the way the lower cost of funds affects the benefit to non-interest bearing deposits.

 

The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) carefully monitors the NIM because it indicates trends in net interest income, the Corporation’s largest source of revenue. For more information on the plans and strategies in place to protect the NIM and moderate the impact of rising rates, please see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) provides for losses inherent in the loan portfolio as determined by a quarterly analysis and calculation of various factors related to the loan portfolio. The amount of the provision reflects the adjustment management determines necessary to ensure the ALLL is adequate to cover any losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Corporation recorded no provision for the three months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013, and recorded credit provisions of $300,000 and $150,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The analysis of the ALLL takes into consideration, among other things, the following factors:

 

·levels and trends in delinquencies, nonaccruals, charge-offs and recoveries,

·trends within the loan portfolio,
·changes in lending policies and procedures,
·experience of lending personnel and management oversight,
42
Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

·national and local economic trends,
·concentrations of credit,
·external factors such as legal and regulatory requirements,
·changes in the quality of loan review and board oversight,
·changes in the value of underlying collateral.

 

Credit provisions were recorded in 2014 and 2013 due to the following factors:

 

·Low levels of delinquent and non-performing loans
·Lower levels of classified loans
·Low net charge-offs/recoveries

 

Prior to 2012, the annual provision expense was at increased levels to account for difficult economic conditions that had an impact on the financial health of the Corporation’s borrowers and a direct impact on asset quality. Throughout 2012, 2013, and into 2014, after analysis of the factors listed above, the allowance for loan loss calculation resulted in a reduction of the provision because of significant improvements in the loan portfolio related to delinquent, non-performing, and classified loans. Management closely tracks delinquent, non-performing, and classified loans as a percentage of capital and of the loan portfolio.

 

As of September 30, 2014, total delinquencies represented 0.65% of total loans, compared to 0.76% as of September 30, 2013. These ratios are extremely low compared to local and national peer groups. The vast majority of the Corporation’s loan customers have remained very steadfast in making their loan payments and avoiding delinquency, even during challenging economic conditions. The delinquency ratios speak to the long-term health, conservative nature, and, importantly, the character of the Corporation’s customers and lending practices. Classified loans are primarily determined by loan-to-value and debt-to-income ratios. The prolonged economic downturn, including devaluation of residential and commercial real estate, had stressed these ratios in past periods. Valuations have recently shown improvements and the levels of classified loans have declined significantly, well below levels experienced in 2012 and 2011. The delinquency and classified loan information is utilized in the quarterly allowance for loan loss (ALLL) calculation, which directly affects the provision expense. A sharp increase or decrease in delinquencies and/or classified loans during the quarter would be cause for management to increase or decrease the provision expense. The level of actual charge-offs relative to the amount of recoveries can have a significant impact on the provision. Management was in the favorable position of having more recoveries than charge-offs in the first nine months of 2014. This alone acted to increase the ALLL by $49,000 and was partially responsible for the need to take a $300,000 credit provision in the first nine months of 2014.

 

Generally, management will evaluate and adjust, if necessary, the provision expense each quarter based upon completion of the quarterly ALLL calculation. Future provision amounts will depend on the amount of loan growth achieved versus levels of delinquent, non-performing, and classified loans.

 

In addition to the above, provision expense is impacted by three major components that are all included in the quarterly calculation of the ALLL. First, specific allocations are made for any loans where management has determined an exposure that needs to be provided for. These specific allocations are reviewed each quarter to determine if adjustments need to be made. It is common for specific allocations to be reduced as additional principal payments are made, so while some specific allocations are being added, others are being reduced. Second, management provides for estimated losses on pools of similar loans based on historical loss experience. Finally, management utilizes qualitative factors every quarter to adjust historical loss experience to take into consideration the current trends in loan volume, delinquencies, charge-offs, changes in lending practices, and the quality of the Corporation’s underwriting, credit analysis, lending staff, and Board oversight. National and local economic trends and conditions are helpful to determine the amount of loan loss allowance the Corporation should be carrying on the various types of loans. Management evaluates and adjusts, if necessary, the qualitative factors on a quarterly basis.

 

In 2014, factors related to dairy farming and non-dairy agriculture have improved reflecting the improved outlook for the industry. Due to the focus on growing the Corporation’s residential mortgage area, residential real estate adjustment factors were increased during the first nine months of 2014. Also affecting the allowance calculation, there was only one business loan charge-off and no agriculture loan charge-offs in the past year, reducing the three-year weighted average charge-off ratio used to calculate the required reserves. This, combined with the other factor adjustments, caused a lower required reserve amount. The periodic adjustment of qualitative factors allows the Corporation’s historical loss experience to be continually brought current to more accurately reflect estimated credit losses, based on the current environment.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Management monitors the allowance as a percentage of total loans. Because of the credit provisions recorded in 2013 and in the first nine months of 2014, the percentage of the allowance to total loans has decreased since September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013, but remains comparable with the peer group. As of September 30, 2014, the allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.52%, down from 1.65% at December 31, 2013, and 1.67% at September 30, 2013. Management continues to evaluate the allowance for loan losses in relation to the size of the loan portfolio and changes to the segments within the loan portfolio and their associated credit risk. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for future loan losses based on the current portfolio and the current economic environment. More detail is provided under Allowance for Loan Losses in the Financial Condition section that follows.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Trust and investment services income increased $36,000 and $76,000, or 13.2% and 8.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods last year. This revenue consists of income from traditional trust services and income from alternative investment services provided through a third party. In the third quarter of 2014, traditional trust income increased by $24,000, or 12.5%, while income from alternative investments increased by $12,000, or 15.0%, compared to the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, traditional trust services income increased by $69,000, or 11.6%, while income from alternative investment services increased by $8,000, or 2.6%, compared to the same period in 2013. Trust income was up for both periods as a result of both higher fees and higher trust valuations. Investment services income is dependent on new investment activity derived from the period. Both third quarter and year-to-date investment services activity was up as of September 30, 2014, compared to the prior year. The trust and investment services area continues to be an area of strategic focus for the Corporation. Management believes there is a great need for retirement, estate, small business planning, and personal investment services in the Corporation’s service area. Management also sees these services as being a necessary part of a comprehensive line of financial solutions across the organization.

 

Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $13,000, or 4.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and $53,000, or 6.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. Overdraft service charges are the largest component of this category and comprised approximately 83% and 82% of the total deposit service charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Total overdraft fees increased by $7,000, or 2.7%, and $26,000, or 3.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. This increase was primarily driven by a per item fee increase implemented in February of 2013. Bonus checking service charges increased by $3,000, or 14.9%, and $15,000, or 36.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013, also a result of a per item fee increase in 2013. Service charges on savings accounts increased by $4,000, or 52.3%, and $10,000, or 50.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, due to an increase in the fee amounts in the first quarter of 2013. Most of the other service charge areas showed minimal increases or decreases from the prior year.

 

Other service charges and fees increased by $33,000, or 21.6%, and decreased by $32,000, or 6.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. The quarterly increase is primarily due to an increase in letters of credit fees. These fees increased by $26,000 and $40,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. Similarly, mortgage origination fees increased by $20,000 and $4,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. Growth in the mortgage area continues to be a primary focus for the Corporation. Loan administration fees increased by $24,000 for the three-month period and $37,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in the prior year. An increase in fees in the second quarter of 2014 was responsible for this increase. Partially offsetting these increases for the quarter-to-date period and more than offsetting them for the year-to-date period, loan modification fees decreased by $34,000 and $130,000, for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013 due to heightened commercial loan modification in 2013 with little activity in 2014. Various other fee income categories increased or decreased slightly.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, $624,000 of gains on securities transactions excluding impairment were recorded compared to $537,000 for the same period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $1,891,000 of gains on securities transactions were recorded compared to $2,216,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Gains or losses on securities transactions fluctuate based on market opportunities to take gains and reposition the securities portfolio to improve long-term earnings, or as part of management’s asset liability goals to improve liquidity or reduce interest rate risk or fair value risk. Gains or losses on securities fluctuate significantly based on market pricing and the volume of security sales. Generally, the lower U.S. Treasury yields go, the more management will be motivated to pursue taking gains from the sale of securities. However, these market opportunities are evaluated subject to the Corporation’s other asset liability measurements and goals. The yield curve in the first nine months of 2013 provided opportunities to take significant gains out of the portfolio. Similar market opportunities were still available during the first nine months of 2014, but not to the same degree or amount as the prior year, although the third quarter gains in 2014 were stronger than 2013.

 

While there were no impairment losses for the three months ended September 30, 2014, there were impairment losses on securities of $44,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the year-to-date periods, impairment losses were $22,000 in 2014, compared to $157,000 in 2013. Impairment losses occur when securities are written down to a lower value based on anticipated credit losses. The impairment losses recorded in 2014 and 2013 were related to private collateralized mortgage obligations, which were all sold in the first half of 2014. Further information on securities and other than temporary impairment is provided in the Securities Available for Sale section, under Financial Condition, in this filing.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Gains on the sale of mortgages were $120,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, compared to $20,000 for the same period in 2013, a $100,000 increase. Gains on the sale of mortgages for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, increased by $42,000, or 20.2%, compared to the same period in 2013. Secondary mortgage financing activity drives the gains on the sale of mortgages, and this activity was stronger in the first half of 2013, but then slowed throughout the third quarter. Conversely, in 2014, activity was slower in the first half of the year, but picked up significantly in the third quarter resulting in the large quarterly increase in income. Management anticipates that gains should continue to increase throughout the fourth quarter of 2014 with an increased focus and resources deployed to grow the Corporation’s mortgage origination activity.

 

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2014 were $5,767,000, an increase of $420,000, or 7.9%, compared to the $5,347,000 for the third quarter of 2013. For the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2014, operating expenses totaled $17,354,000, an increase of $1,155,000, or 7.1%, compared to the same period in 2013.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Salaries and employee benefits are the largest category of operating expenses. In general, they comprise 60% of the Corporation’s total operating expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, salaries and benefits increased $324,000, or 10.1%, from the same period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, salaries and benefits increased $883,000, or 9.3%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Salaries increased by $261,000, or 10.9%, and employee benefits increased by $62,000, or 7.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, salary expense increased by $685,000, or 9.7%, while employee benefits increased by $198,000, or 7.9%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Salary and benefit expenses are growing primarily as a result of staff costs for the two new branch offices opened in 2013 as well as staff costs for the Corporation’s growing mortgage division. Several additional positions are expected to be added in the mortgage division in the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

Occupancy expenses consist of the following:

 

·Depreciation of bank buildings
·Real estate taxes and property insurance
·Building lease expense
·Utilities
·Building repair and maintenance

 

Occupancy expenses increased $14,000, or 3.0%, and $148,000, or 11.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Building depreciation costs increased by $15,000, or 9.9%, and $48,000, or 10.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily as a result of construction of a new branch office opened in 2013. The other branch office opened in 2013 was a leased building. Building repair and maintenance costs, which are smaller dollar expenses, decreased by $34,000, or 59.0%, and $23,000, or 22.0%, for the three and nine-month periods. Several large repairs at the Corporation’s main headquarters in 2013 caused this decrease. Utilities costs did not change significantly for the quarterly period, but increased $23,000, or 5.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Higher utility costs were driven by abnormally cold winter weather in the first quarter of 2014. Other occupancy expenses increased $30,000, or 83.8%, and $87,000, or 82.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. This was primarily due to higher snow removal costs from a harsh winter in 2014 compared to 2013, and higher lease expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013 due to the lease of the Leola Branch as well as additional office space leased during 2014 in downtown Ephrata.

 

Equipment-related expenses increased by $39,000, or 15.7%, and $99,000, or 13.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. This increase was primarily due to depreciation expenses, which increased $19,000, or 11.8%, and $71,000, or 16.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, as a result of furniture and equipment at the two new additional branch offices. Additionally, expenses related to equipment service contracts increased by $24,000, or 44.0%, and $53,000, or 31.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013.

 

Advertising and marketing expenses increased $27,000, or 39.7%, and $43,000, or 14.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. These expenses can be further broken down into two categories, marketing expenses and public relations. The marketing expenses increased by $9,000, or 17.8%, and $26,000, or 11.8%, and the public relations expenses increased by $17,000, or 110.3%, and $17,000, or 18.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. Marketing expenses support the overall business strategies of the Corporation; therefore, the timing of these expenses is highly dependent upon the execution of those strategies.

 

Bank shares tax expense decreased $45,000, or 20.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and $108,000, or 16.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. The PA Bank Shares Tax formula was changed for 2014 resulting in a lower tax amount for the Corporation. Two main factors determine the amount of bank shares tax: the ending value of shareholders’ equity and the ending value of tax-exempt U.S. obligations. The 2013 shares tax calculation formula utilized a rolling six-year average of taxable shares, which was the average shareholders’ equity of the Bank less the average amount of exempt U.S. obligations held. The shares tax calculation in 2014 changed to using a period-end balance of shareholders’ equity and a tax rate of 0.89% versus 1.25% in 2013 and prior years, resulting in a lower tax amount.

 

Professional services expense increased $14,000, or 4.7%, and $66,000, or 7.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. These services include accounting and auditing fees, legal fees, loan review fees, and fees for other third-party services. Other outside services expense increased $15,000, or 11.6%, and $66,000, or 17.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, primarily due to increased costs from the Corporation’s internet banking/bill pay software provider. Several other professional services expenses increased or decreased slightly making up the remainder of the variance.

Income Taxes

 

The majority of the Corporation’s income is taxed at a corporate rate of 34% for Federal income tax purposes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation recorded Federal income tax expense of $337,000 and $1,083,000, compared to tax expense of $274,000 and $958,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for the Corporation was 16.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and 17.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 13.6% and 14.7% for the same periods in 2013. The Corporation’s effective tax rate has historically been maintained at low levels primarily due to a relatively high level of tax-free municipal bonds held in the securities portfolio. The fluctuation of the effective tax rate will occur as a result of total tax-free revenue as a percentage of total revenue.

 

Certain items of income are not subject to Federal income tax, such as tax-exempt interest income on loans and securities, and BOLI income; therefore, the effective income tax rate for the Corporation is lower than the stated tax rate. The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the Corporation’s provision for Federal income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income by the income before income taxes for the applicable period.

 

The Corporation is also subject to Pennsylvania Corporate Net Income Tax; however, the Corporation’s Holding Company has very limited taxable corporate net income activities. The Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ephrata National Bank, is subject to Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax. Like Federal Corporate income tax, the Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax is a significant expense for the Corporation. The Bank Shares Tax expense appears on the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income, under operating expenses.

Financial Condition

 

Securities Available for Sale

 

The Corporation classifies all of its securities as available for sale and reports the portfolio at fair market value. As of September 30, 2014, the Corporation had $301.3 million of securities available for sale, which accounted for 35.4% of assets, compared to 37.0% as of December 31, 2013, and 35.3% as of September 30, 2013. Based on ending balances, the securities portfolio increased 7.3% from September 30, 2013, and 0.3% from December 31, 2013.

 

There was a sharp decline in the market valuation of the Corporation’s securities beginning in the second quarter of 2013 and continuing through the end of 2013. Since December 31, 2013, market valuations have improved, with an unrealized gain on the entire portfolio as of September 30, 2014. The decline in the second half of 2013 was a result of marked increases in mid-term and long-term interest rates that occurred on the heels of the Federal Reserve June 19, 2013 comments on the winding down of its $85 billion of bond purchases per month by later in 2013 and all together by mid-2014. This caused unsettling in the bond market with valuation declines. At the time of the remarks, the 10-year U.S. Treasury stood at a 2.20% yield. Within two weeks, the 10-year yield had risen to 2.60%. The 10-year U.S. Treasury stayed within a fairly narrow range in the second half of 2013 until December when it gradually rose to 3.00% by year end. The unrealized losses in the securities portfolio were at higher levels as of September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2013, as the result of higher Treasury rates.

 

Since December 31, 2013, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield slowly declined to approximately 2.75% by March 31, 2014, close to 2.50% by June 30, 2014, and remained at 2.50% as of September 30, 2014. The lower Treasury rates have caused an improvement in market valuation, resulting in an unrealized gain of $1.0 million on the securities portfolio as of September 30, 2014, compared to unrealized losses of $6.0 million as of December 31, 2013, and $3.0 million as of September 30, 2013. Since longer term interest rates were impacted the most, the Corporation’s longest securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, saw the most fluctuation in market valuation.

 

The table below summarizes the Corporation’s cost, unrealized gain or loss position, and fair value for each sector of the securities available for sale portfolio for the periods ended September 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013.

While interest rate changes and the perceived forward direction of interest rates generally have a close relationship to the valuation of the Corporation’s fixed income security portfolio, there are also a number of other market factors that impact bond prices. It is evident that the market volatility was greater with the first run up in rates in June 2013 than in the following quarters. Mid-term and longer-term rates climbed to the end of 2013 by a greater amount than the June 2013 surge but the market valuation impact to the Corporation’s securities was not as severe. This is evidence of a change in the financial market’s expectation for a Federal Reserve action and other associated monetary policy decisions, such as timing of the reduction of longer-term bond purchases by the Federal Reserve. The financial markets have consistently projected a Federal Reserve action a year out into the future only to reach that point with the target extended another year. Even guidance from the Federal Reserve has changed in form and content and specific measurements that were initially targeted have been revised or eliminated.

 

More recently, a slowdown in the Euro zone, along with extremely low foreign long-term bond rates have been pushing down U.S. Treasury yields. These foreign events have overshadowed further improvement in U.S economic data and the October 2015 announcement of the Federal Reserve ending QE3; however, the concern is a slowdown in foreign economies will have an impact on the U.S. economic growth. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, but prior to the filing of this report, the 10-year U.S Treasury yield declined further toward levels experienced in early 2013. While there is still an expectation of a Federal Reserve rate increase in 2015, at present it appears the global concerns and influence have pushed back the expected timing of that move.

 

Management has already taken steps to reduce the Corporation’s exposure to additional increases in interest rates and declines in the market valuation of the securities portfolio. These actions have included the sales of longer duration securities, primarily municipal bonds. Those actions are part of a broader asset liability plan to continually work to mitigate future interest rate risk and fair value risk to the Corporation. Part of that strategy is to retain higher levels of cash and cash equivalents to increase liquidity and provide an immediate hedge against higher interest rates and fair value risk. However, despite taking actions to mitigate the Corporation’s future risk, these risks are inherent to the banking model. Unrealized gains and losses on securities will vary significantly according to market forces. Management’s focus will continue to be on the long-term performance of these securities. While management has and will continue to take gains from the portfolio when opportunities exist, the broader securities strategy remains to buy and hold securities.

 

The Corporation typically invests excess liquidity into securities, primarily fixed-income bonds. The securities portfolio provides interest and dividend income to supplement the interest income on loans. Additionally, the securities portfolio assists in the management of both liquidity risk and interest rate risk. In order to provide maximum flexibility for management of liquidity and interest rate risk, the securities portfolio is classified as available for sale and reported at fair value. Management adjusts the value of all the Corporation’s securities on a monthly basis to fair market value as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Management has the ability and intent to hold all debt securities until maturity, and does not generally record impairment on bonds that are currently valued below book value. In addition to the fixed-income bonds, the Corporation’s equity holdings consist of a small CRA-qualified mutual fund with a book value of $5.0 million. The CRA fund is a Small Business Association (SBA) variable rate fund with a stable dollar price. The Corporation also has a small portfolio of bank stocks with a book value of $376,000. These equity holdings make up 1.8% of the Corporation’s securities available for sale.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

All securities, bonds, and equity holdings are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. Should any impairment occur, management would write down the security to a fair market value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, with the amount of the write down recorded as a loss on securities.

 

Each quarter, management sets portfolio allocation guidelines and adjusts the security portfolio strategy generally based on the following factors:

 

·ALCO positions as to liquidity, credit risk, interest rate risk, and fair value risk
·Growth of the loan portfolio
·Slope of the U.S. Treasury curve
·Relative performance of the various instruments, including spread to U.S. Treasuries
·Duration and average length of the portfolio
·Volatility of the portfolio
·Direction of interest rates
·Economic factors impacting debt securities

 

The investment policy of the Corporation imposes guidelines to ensure diversification within the portfolio. The diversity specifications provide opportunities to shorten or lengthen duration, maximize yield, and mitigate credit risk. The composition of the securities portfolio based on fair market value is shown in the following table.

The largest movements within the securities portfolio were shaped by market factors, such as:

 

·slope of the U.S. Treasury curve and projected forward rates
·interest spread versus U.S. Treasury rates on the various securities
·pricing of the instruments, including supply and demand for the product
·structure of the instruments, including duration and average life
·portfolio weightings versus policy guidelines
·prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations
·risk-based capital considerations
·Federal income tax considerations with regard to obligations of states and political subdivisions.

 

Since September of 2013, the most significant change occurring in the Corporation’s securities portfolio was an increase in U.S. agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO). CMO securities provide stable liquidity and help to maintain a ladder of cash flows unlike other sectors of the portfolio that do not have principal payments until their maturity. They also carry the implied backing of the U.S. government as U.S. agencies and a favorable risk-based capital weighting of only 20%. The more significant components of the securities portfolio along with a more detailed explanation of their changes are discussed below.

 

The Corporation’s U.S. government agency sector remained unchanged since September 30, 2013. Generally, management’s goal is to maintain agency securities at approximately 15% of the investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2014, U.S. agencies represented 12.2% of the fair market value of the portfolio. Management will continue to invest in agencies when advantageous to maintain a minimum sector weighting, maintain adequate risk weightings of the portfolio, to ensure sufficient U.S. government securities for pledging purposes, and importantly to ladder out a schedule of agency and corporate maturities over the next 5 years to avoid any concentration of maturities. Next to U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agencies are viewed as the safest instruments and are considered by management as foundational to the portfolio.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation’s U.S. agency MBS and CMO sectors have increased in total by $20.0 million, or 23.1%, since September 30, 2013. Management desires to maintain a substantial amount of MBS and CMOs in order to assist in maintaining a stable five-year ladder of cash flows, which is important in providing stable liquidity and interest rate risk positions. Unlike the typical U.S. agency paper, corporate bonds, and obligations of states and political subdivisions, which only pay principal at final maturity, the U.S. agency MBS and CMO securities pay contractual monthly principal and interest, but are also subject to additional prepayment of principal. The combined effect of all of these instruments paying monthly principal and interest provides the Corporation with a significant and reasonably stable cash flow. Cash flows coming off of MBS and CMOs do slow down and speed up as interest rates increase or decrease, which has an impact on the portfolio’s length and yield. As interest rates decline, prepayment of principal on securities increases, the duration of the security shortens, and the yield declines as more amortization is required on premium bonds. When interest rates increase, the opposite of this occurs. Despite the fluctuations that occur in terms of monthly cash flow as a result of changing prepayment speeds, the monthly cash flow generated by U.S. agency MBS and CMO securities as a group is significant, and helps to soften or smooth out the Corporation’s total monthly cash flow from all securities. With the increase in interest rates that initially occurred in June of 2013, prepayments on MBS and CMO securities have slowed significantly from the first nine months of 2013. This caused yields to increase and duration to be longer. The principal payments received in the third quarter of 2014 were higher than principal payments received in the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to lower U.S. Treasury rates. Treasury rates have decreased further subsequent to September 30, 2014, and it is anticipated that payments received in the fourth quarter will remain at elevated levels.

 

As of September 30, 2014, the market value of the Corporation’s corporate bonds remained relatively unchanged from balances at September 30, 2013. Like any security, corporate bonds have both positive and negative qualities and management must evaluate these securities on a risk versus reward basis. Corporate bonds add diversity to the portfolio and provide strong yields for short maturities; however, by their very nature, corporate bonds carry a high level of credit risk should the entity experience financial difficulties. Management stands to possibly lose the entire principal amount if the entity that issued the corporate paper fails. As a result of the higher level of credit risk taken by purchasing a corporate bond, management has in place procedures to closely analyze the financial health of the company as well as policy guidelines. The guidelines include both maximum investment by issuer and minimal credit ratings that must be met in order for management to purchase a corporate bond. Financial analysis is conducted prior to every corporate purchase with ongoing monitoring performed on all securities held.

 

Obligations of states and political subdivisions, or municipal bonds, are tax-free securities that generally provide the highest yield in the securities portfolio. They also carry the longest duration on average of any instrument in the securities portfolio. In the prolonged period of historically low interest rates, the municipal bond sector has far outperformed all other sectors of the portfolio. Municipal tax-equivalent yields generally start well above other taxable bonds and these instruments had experienced significant fair market value gains when interest rates remained low. With the interest rate increases at the end of the second quarter of 2013, the valuations of these instruments declined rapidly, but with the more recent decreases in Treasury rates, this portfolio is now showing an unrealized gain of $2.3 million as of September 30, 2014. The book value of municipal holdings has remained relatively unchanged at $98.5 million as of September 30, 2013, and $98.4 million as of September 30, 2014. Based on fair market value, this sector has increased by $3.6 million, or 3.7%, since September 30, 2013, as a result of the unrealized gains on the bonds.

 

By policy, management is to identify and recommend whether to hold or sell securities with credit ratings that have fallen below minimum policy credit ratings required at the time of purchase, or below investment grade. Management monitors the security ratings on a monthly basis and reviews quarterly with the Board of Directors. Management, with Board approval, determines whether it is in the Corporation’s best interest to continue to hold any security that has fallen below policy guidelines or below investment grade based on the expectation of recovery of market value or improved performance. At this time management has elected, and the Board has approved, holding securities that have fallen below initial policy guidelines or investment grade.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Corporation held three PCMO securities with an amortized cost of $4.3 million. In 2014, all of the PCMO securities were sold as a result of more favorable market conditions and the ability to sell out of this security sector with minimal losses. Two of the three PCMOs sold during 2014 had below-investment-grade credit ratings and required impairment charges over the past number of years. With no securities remaining in this sector, the Corporation will no longer need to conduct quarterly impairment analysis on these securities and will save time on the administrative costs to continue to account for these PCMOs.

Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

As of September 30, 2014, fifteen of the forty corporate securities held by the Corporation showed an unrealized holding loss. These securities with unrealized holding losses were valued at 99.1% of book value. The Corporation’s investment policy requires that corporate bonds have a minimum credit rating of A3 by Moody’s or A- by S&P or Fitch at the time of purchase, or an average or composite rating of A-. As of September 30, 2014, all but one of the corporate bonds had at least one A3 or A- rating by one of the major credit rating services. The one corporate bond that did not have an A3 or A- rating did have a rating that was investment grade. As of September 30, 2014, there were nine corporate bonds with $10.0 million of par value that were carrying split ratings with one rating within policy limit and another rating below the initial policy purchase requirement but above investment grade. These securities are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure these credits do not deteriorate further and remain at investment grade. Currently, there are no indications that any of these bonds would discontinue contractual payments.

 

The Corporation’s investment policy requires that municipal bonds not carrying insurance have a minimum credit rating of A3 by Moody’s or A- by S&P or Fitch at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2014, one municipal bond with a total amortized cost of $545,000 carried a credit rating under these levels. This particular municipal security was called on October 1, 2014.

 

In the current environment, the major rating services have tightened their credit underwriting procedures and are more apt to downgrade municipalities. Additionally, the very weak economy has reduced revenue streams for many municipalities and has called into question the basic premise that municipalities have unlimited power to tax, i.e. the ability to raise taxes to compensate for revenue shortfalls. As a result of this environment, management utilizes several municipal surveillance reports and engages a third party to perform enhanced municipal credit evaluation. Management will typically sell municipal securities if negative trends in financial performance are found and/or ratings have declined to levels deemed unacceptable. As a result of the above monitoring and actions taken to proactively sell weaker municipal credits, the Corporation’s entire municipal bond portfolio consists of investment grade credits.

 

The entire securities portfolio is reviewed monthly for credit risk and evaluated quarterly for possible impairment. With the sale of all remaining PCMO securities in 2014, the Corporation’s municipal and corporate bonds present the largest credit risk and highest likelihood for any possible impairment. Due to the ability for corporate credit situations to change rapidly and the continued weak economic conditions impacting municipalities, management is closely monitoring all corporate and municipal securities.

(a) Residential real estate loans do not include mortgage loans serviced for others which totaled $12,523,000 as of September 30, 2014, $4,866,000 as of December 31, 2013, and $4,334,000 as of September 30, 2013.

Since September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2013, loan growth occurred as a result of increases in agriculture mortgages and home equity lines of credit. Agricultural lending has been an area of increased focus for the Corporation. Management believes the agricultural sector of the local economy is recovering much quicker than other elements such as construction, manufacturing, and service-related industries. Home equity lines of credit have grown in response to the low interest rate environment encouraging customers to utilize variable rate consumer borrowings in conjunction with several home equity specials that the Corporation has offered during 2013 and 2014.

 

The composition of the loan portfolio has undergone relatively minor changes in recent years outside of the increases mentioned above. The total of all categories of real estate loans comprises 87% of total loans. At $237.8 million, commercial real estate is the largest category of the loan portfolio, consisting of 52.0% of total loans. This category includes commercial mortgages, agriculture mortgages, and construction loans. Commercial real estate loans increased from $216.8 million as of September 30, 2013, to $237.8 million as of September 30, 2014, a $21.0 million, or 9.7% increase.

 

The growth in commercial real estate loans has occurred entirely in those secured by farmland. Agricultural mortgages increased from $110.7 million, or 51.1% of commercial real estate loans as of September 30, 2013, to $133.6 million, or 56.2% of commercial real estate loans as of September 30, 2014. Commercial construction loans increased slightly from $8.5 million, or 3.9% of commercial real estate loans as of September 30, 2013, to $9.1 million, or 3.8% of commercial real estate loans as of September 30, 2014.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The commercial mortgage segment of the commercial real estate category of loans has decreased slightly from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014. This area represented $97.7 million, or 45.1% of commercial real estate loans as of September 30, 2013, and $95.2 million, or 40.0% of commercial real estate loans as of September 30, 2014. Growth in this area over the past several years had slowed significantly since most businesses were unwilling to expand during periods of slow economic growth. Management expects that growth in this area will occur if the economy continues to show signs of recovery and improvement.

 

Consumer real estate loans make up 35.0% of the total loan portfolio with balances of $159.8 million. These loans include 1-4 family residential mortgages, home equity term loans, and home equity lines of credit. Personal residential mortgages account for 77.1% of total residential real estate loans and 27.0% of total loans. Traditional 10 to 20-year personal mortgages originated from and held by the Corporation have consistently been the largest single product of the Corporation’s loan portfolio. The Corporation experienced some slowdown in the residential mortgage area in 2013 and into 2014, as the secondary mortgage market rates became extremely competitive and more customers were opting for this alternative. In addition, mortgage rates increased during the third and fourth quarter of 2013 as a result of general market rate increases causing a slowdown in refinancing. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield reached the most recent high of 3.00% by year-end 2013. As a result, refinancing activity was slow going into 2014. This slowdown of mortgage activity was enough to cause the total personal residential mortgage balances to decline $4.1 million, or 3.2%, from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014. The balance was down only slightly by $1.3 million, or 1.0%, since September 30, 2013.

 

The weaker economic conditions, including continued weakness in home prices and home building in the local area, have had an impact on demand for mortgages held by the Corporation. The Corporation generally only holds 10, 15, and 20-year mortgages, and will sell any mortgage originated over 20 years. While terms of 10, 15, 20, and 30 years are offered to the customer, the most popular term is the 30-year, which are all sold on the secondary market. The majority of the 30-year mortgages are sold with servicing retained. As customers look to refinance mortgages that are held on the Corporation’s balance sheet, many are taking advantage of the lower rates offered on the secondary market resulting in the conversion of the Corporation’s residential mortgages into mortgages sold on the secondary market. Management believes this is a trend that will continue. Despite a focus on the area to drive more mortgage volume, new purchase, or refinance, it is likely the majority of the volume will occur on mortgages sold on the secondary market so that the total mortgages held by the Corporation may continue to decline.

 

Second mortgages and home equity loans, fixed or variable rate, make up the remainder of the Corporation’s residential real estate loans. Requests for fixed-rate home equity loans have slowed in the current environment, while home equity lines of credit, which float on the Prime rate, have increased. From September 30, 2013, to September 30, 2014, fixed rate home equity loans have decreased from $10.9 million to $9.9 million, a $1.0 million, or 9.2% decrease. Meanwhile, home equity lines of credit increased from $19.8 million to $26.7 million, a $6.9 million, or 34.8% increase. The net of these two trends is a $5.8 million, or 18.9% increase, in total home equity loan balances.

 

The Corporation offered a home equity loan special during 2013 and 2014 that initiated growth in the variable rate line of credit area. Consumers are seeking the lowest interest rate to borrow money against their home value, which has resulted in more variable rate versus fixed rate financing. This trend is likely to continue while the Prime rate remains at 3.25%. While management does not anticipate any rate increase from the Federal Reserve in the near future, it is highly expected that when the Federal Reserve eventually acts to increase the overnight rate, and the Prime rate increases, the reaction will be that floating rate loans will become less attractive to borrowers who will act to protect themselves against further rate increases by converting to a fixed rate loan. Management anticipates moderate growth in the residential real estate area throughout the remainder of 2014 as this area is an area of strategic focus for the Corporation.

 

Commercial loans not secured by real estate are significantly smaller than the Corporation’s commercial loans secured by real estate portfolio. These loans are generally extended based on the health of the commercial borrower. They include both fixed rate loans and Prime-based variable rate loans. The variable rate loans are generally in the form of a business line of credit. The Corporation’s security position as to these loans can be further strengthened by obtaining the personal guarantees of the owners. This is a preferred approach on commercial accounts as it allows the Corporation to pursue assets of the owner in addition to assets of the commercial entity. Management can also obtain additional collateral by securing the inventory of the business. The portfolio of all types of commercial and industrial loans showed a decrease of $3.6 million, or 6.0%, from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, this category of commercial loans was made up of $29.4 million of commercial and industrial loans, $12.6 million of tax-free loans, and $14.1 million of agriculture loans. In the case of the Corporation, all of the $12.6 million of tax-free loans are to local municipalities. These loans decreased by $5.7 million, or 31.1%, from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014, primarily due to the early payoff of one municipal loan relationship. Commercial and industrial agriculture loans increased by $0.6 million, or 4.4%, from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014, while other non-real estate secured commercial and industrial purpose loans were up from $27.7 million as of September 30, 2013, to $29.4 million as of September 30, 2014, a $1.7 million, or 6.1% increase.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The consumer loan portfolio decreased marginally to $3.8 million at September 30, 2014, from $3.9 million at September 30, 2013. Consumer loans made up 0.9% of total loans on September 30, 2013, and 0.8% of total loans on September 30, 2014. The long-term trend over the past decade has seen homeowners turning to the equity in their homes to finance cars and education rather than traditional consumer loans for those expenditures. Slightly higher demand for unsecured credit is being offset by principal payments on existing loans. Management anticipates that the Corporation’s level of consumer loans will likely be relatively unchanged in the near future, as the need for additional unsecured credit in the current weaker economic conditions is generally offset by those borrowers wishing to reduce debt levels and move away from the higher cost of unsecured financing relative to other forms of real estate secured financing.

 

 

Non-Performing Assets

 

Non-performing assets include:

 

·Nonaccrual loans
·Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing
·Troubled debt restructurings
·Other real estate owned

Non-performing assets to net loans   0.36%    0.32%    0.40% 

 

The total balance of non-performing assets decreased by $93,000, or 5.5%, from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014, and increased by $238,000, or 17.4%, from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014. The decrease from the prior year’s period was due to a decrease in other real estate owned which was partially offset by an increase in nonaccrual loans. The increase since December 31, 2013, was due to an increase in nonaccrual loans due to a commercial loan relationship that was placed on nonaccrual in the third quarter of 2014. The Corporation remains very low versus the peer group with a 0.36% non-performing asset ratio. There were no loans classified as a TDR as of September 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, or September 30, 2013. Management is monitoring delinquency trends and the level of non-performing loans closely in light of the slightly improved but continued weak economic conditions. At this time, management believes that the potential for material losses related to non-performing loans is low with the level of non-performing and classified loans declining from the higher levels experienced in prior years.

 

Other real estate owned (OREO) is shown at the lower of cost or fair market value, net of anticipated selling costs. As of September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2014, the OREO balance consisted of one residential property, although it was not the same borrower or property at the end of any of these periods. The property held at September 30, 2013, with a $264,000 fair market value was sold during the fourth quarter of 2013. A new property with a fair market value of $39,000 was held as of December 31, 2013, but sold in the second quarter of 2014. Also during the second quarter of 2014, the Corporation acquired an OREO property with a value of $24,000 which was still held as of September 30, 2014.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is established to cover any losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance each quarter based upon a detailed analysis and calculation of the allowance for loan losses. This calculation is based upon a systematic methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The calculation includes estimates and is based upon losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance calculation includes specific provisions for under-performing loans and general allocations to cover anticipated losses on all loan types based on historical losses. The calculation is also influenced by nine qualitative factors that are adjusted on a quarterly basis as needed. Based on the quarterly loan loss calculation, management will adjust the allowance for loan losses through the provision as necessary. Changes to the allowance for loan losses during the year are primarily affected by five main factors:

 

·Historical loan losses
·Qualitative factor adjustments including levels of delinquent and non-performing loans
·Growth trends of the loan portfolio
·Recovery of loans previously charged off
·Provision for loan losses

 

Strong credit and collateral policies have been instrumental in producing a favorable history of loan losses. The Allowance for Loan Losses table below shows the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. At the bottom of the table, two benchmark percentages are shown. The first is net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding for the year. The second is the total allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans.

Charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were $29,000, compared to $135,000 for the same period in 2013. Management typically charges off unsecured debt over 90 days delinquent with little likelihood of recovery. In the first nine months of 2013, there was one consumer real estate loan that was charged off for $78,000 as well as one loan to a construction company that was charged off for $34,000. In the first nine months of 2014, only a few small consumer loans and a small commercial loan were charged off resulting in the decline from the prior year.

 

The allowance as a percentage of total loans represents the portion of the total loan portfolio for which an allowance has been provided. The composition of the Corporation’s loan portfolio carries a larger agriculture loan weighting compared to December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013. However, offsetting the additional risk represented by larger agriculture loan balances, the quality of the loan portfolio has improved since 2013. Management regularly reviews the overall risk profile of the loan portfolio and the impact that current economic trends have on the Corporation’s loans. The financial industry typically evaluates the quality of loans on a scale with “unclassified” representing healthy loans, “special mention” being the first indication of credit concern, and several successive classified ratings indicating further credit declines of “substandard,” “doubtful,” and, ultimately, “loss.”

 

The Corporation’s total classified loans based on outstanding balances were $15.1 million as of September 30, 2014, $16.6 million as of December 31, 2013, and $16.5 million as of September 30, 2013. Having more loans in a classified status will result in a higher allowance as higher projected historical losses and qualitative factors are attached to these loans. In addition to this impact, management performs a specific allocation test on these classified loans. As of September 30, 2013, there was a specifically allocated allowance amount of $8,000 against the classified loans, but no specifically allocated allowance was required as of December 31, 2013, or September 30, 2014. While the level of classified loans could have a significant bearing on the allowance, currently they are not having a material influence. The classified loans could require larger provision amounts due to a higher potential risk of loss, so as the classified loan balances fluctuate, the associated specific allowance applied to them fluctuates, resulting in a lower or higher required allowance. The Corporation’s level of classified loans is down significantly from several years ago with steady declines since 2011. The Corporation’s total classified loans stood at $33.5 million as of September 30, 2011 and $24.0 million as of September 30, 2012.

Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

The net charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans outstanding indicates the percentage of the Corporation’s total loan portfolio that has been charged off during the period, after reducing charge-offs by recoveries. The Corporation continues to experience very low net charge-off percentages due to strong credit practices. For the first nine months of 2014, recoveries exceeded charge-offs, resulting in a net recovery position. Management continually monitors delinquencies, classified loans, and charge-off activity closely, and is not anticipating significant increases throughout the remainder of 2014. Management practices are in place to reduce the number and severity of losses. In regard to severely delinquent loans, management attempts to improve the Corporation’s collateral or credit position and, in the case of a loan workout, intervene to minimize additional charge-offs.

 

The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.52% as of September 30, 2014, 1.65% as of December 31, 2013, and 1.67% as of September 30, 2013. Management anticipates that the rate of decline in the allowance percentage will slow during the remainder of 2014 due to the unlikelihood of very low levels of delinquencies, non-performing loans and historical losses declining further.

 

 

Premises and Equipment

 

Premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, increased by $0.4 million, or 1.8%, to $22.7 million as of September 30, 2014, from $22.3 million as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, $109,000 was classified as construction in process compared to $1,630,000 as of September 30, 2013. Construction in process was elevated as of September 30, 2013, with construction costs incurred to build the Corporation’s tenth full service branch office in Myerstown, Lebanon County. That office was placed into service in November 2013.

 

 

Regulatory Stock

 

The Corporation owns multiple forms of regulatory stock that is required in order to be a member of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and members of banks such as the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (ACBB). The Corporation’s $4.2 million of regulatory stock holdings as of September 30, 2014, consisted of $4.0 million of FHLB of Pittsburgh stock, $151,000 of FRB stock, and $37,000 of ACBB stock. All of these stocks are valued at a stable dollar price, which is the price used to purchase or liquidate shares; therefore, the investment is carried at book value and there is no fair market value adjustment.

 

The Corporation’s investment in FHLB stock is required for membership in the organization. The amount of stock required is dependent upon the relative size of outstanding borrowings from FHLB. Excess stock is typically repurchased from the Corporation at par if the borrowings decline to a predetermined level. The Corporation’s FHLB stock position was $3.2 million on September 30, 2013, and $4.0 million as of September 30, 2014, with no excess capital stock position at that time. The FHLB revised its capital and dividend plan and, subsequent to the filing of this report, repurchased $987,000 of capital stock due to the lower stock ownership requirements necessary to be a member of the FHLB. Any future stock repurchases would be the result of lower borrowing balances. Stock repurchases by the FHLB occur every quarter.

 

The FHLB of Pittsburgh has paid a quarterly dividend since the resumption of their dividend in the first quarter of 2012. Most recently the dividend yield was 4.00% annualized for the third quarter of 2014. Management continues to monitor the financial condition of the FHLB quarterly to assess its ability to continue to regularly repurchase excess capital stock and pay a dividend.

 

Management believes that the FHLB will continue to be a primary source of wholesale liquidity for both short-term and long-term funding. Management’s strategy in terms of future use of FHLB borrowings is addressed under the Borrowings section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

 

 

Deposits

 

The Corporation’s total ending deposits increased $30.7 million, or 4.7%, and $44.6 million, or 6.9%, from December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013, respectively. Customer deposits are the Corporation’s primary source of funding for loans and securities. In the past few years, the economic concerns and volatility of the equity market led customers back to banks for safe places to invest money, despite historically low interest rates. The mix of the Corporation’s deposit categories has changed slightly since September 30, 2013, with the changes being a $22.5 million, or 13.6% increase, in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, a $13.6 million, or 21.0% increase, in NOW accounts, a $7.5 million, or 12.6% increase, in money market balances, an $8.2 million, or 6.9% increase, in savings account balances, and a $5.5 million, or 131.9% increase, in brokered time deposits. Partially offsetting these increases, interest bearing demand deposits decreased by $3.6 million, or 23.8%, and time deposits decreased by $9.0 million, or 4.2%, from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014.

Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The increase in non-interest bearing demand accounts and savings account balances is the result of historically low interest rates, which have resulted in little difference between savings rates and other core deposit rates and even short-term time deposit rates. Customers view demand deposits and savings as the safest, most convenient place to maintain funds for maximum flexibility. Management believes these deposit account types will continue to hold higher balances until short-term interest rates increase.

 

The Deposits by Major Classification table, shown below, provides the balances of each category for September 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013.

Total deposits   687,344    656,626    642,751 

 

The growth and mix of deposits is often driven by several factors including:

 

·Convenience and service provided
·Current rates paid on deposits relative to competitor rates
·Level of and perceived direction of interest rates
·Financial condition and perceived safety of the institution
·Possible risks associated with other investment opportunities
·Level of fees on deposit products

 

The Corporation has been a stable presence in the local area and offers convenient locations as well as competitive service fees and interest rates because of a strong commitment to the customers and the communities that it serves. Management has always priced products and services in a manner that makes them affordable for all customers. This in turn creates a high degree of customer loyalty and a stable deposit base. Additionally, as financial institutions have come under increased scrutiny from both regulators and customers, the Corporation has maintained an outstanding reputation. The Corporation’s deposit base increased as a result of customers seeking a longstanding, reliable institution as a partner to meet their financial needs.

 

Time deposits are typically a more rate-sensitive product, making them a source of funding that is prone to balance variations depending on the interest rate environment and how the Corporation’s time deposit rates compare with the local market rates. Time deposits fluctuate as consumers search for the best rates in the market, with less allegiance to any particular financial institution. As of September 30, 2014, time deposit balances, excluding brokered deposits, had decreased $5.1 million, or 2.4%, and $9.0 million, or 4.2%, from December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The Corporation has experienced a slow and steady shift in deposit trends over the past five years as customers have moved money from time deposits into core checking and savings accounts. With minimal differences between shorter term CD rates and interest bearing non-maturity deposits, customers are more inclined to accumulate their funds in a liquid account that can be accessed at any time. This has resulted in declining time deposit balances and more significant growth in the core deposit areas. Management anticipates that the recent declines in time deposits will likely continue until interest rates increase and cause more of a separation between longer-term rates and overnight rates.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Time deposits are a safe investment with FDIC coverage insuring no loss of principal up to $250,000 per account, based on certain account structures. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the $250,000 FDIC insurance coverage on all deposit accounts was made permanent. This has caused an increase in the percentage of time deposits over $100,000 held by the Corporation. While total time deposits continue to decline in the present environment, the percentage of time deposits over $100,000 compared to total time deposits has increased and is expected to remain at these higher percentages due to the FDIC coverage. Despite increases in the larger time deposits, time deposits in their entirety, have decreased and are expected to further decline until the Federal Reserve acts to increase short term interest rates.

 

 

Borrowings

 

Total borrowings were $69.6 million, $68.9 million, and $65.0 million as of September 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013, respectively. Of these amounts, $7.3 million and $3.9 million reflect short term funds for September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Corporation had no short-term funds borrowed as of September 30, 2013. Short-term funds are used for immediate liquidity needs and are not typically part of an ongoing liquidity or interest rate risk strategy; therefore, they fluctuate more rapidly. When short term funds are used, they are purchased through correspondent and member bank relationships as overnight borrowings or through the FHLB for terms less than one year.

 

Total long-term borrowings, borrowings initiated for terms longer than one year, were $62.3 million as of September 30, 2014, $65.0 million as of December 31, 2013, and $65.0 million as of September 30, 2013. The Corporation uses two main sources for long-term borrowings: FHLB advances and repurchase agreements obtained through brokers. The repurchase agreement portion of the long-term debt was $10.0 million at September 30, 2014, and $15.0 million at December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013. FHLB long-term advances were $52.3 million at September 30, 2014, $50.0 million at December 31, 2013, and $50.0 million as of September 30, 2013. Both FHLB advances and repurchase agreements are used as a secondary source of funding and to mitigate interest rate risk. These long-term funding instruments are typically a more manageable funding source in regard to amount, timing, and rate for interest rate risk and liquidity purposes compared to deposits. Over the course of the past few years, the Corporation has minimally changed the ladder of long-term FHLB borrowings, by replacing maturing advances with new long-term advances at significant rate savings. In the current interest rate environment, management has preferred to seek new long-term borrowings from FHLB rather than through repurchase agreements. Management will continue to analyze and compare the costs and benefits of borrowing versus obtaining funding from deposits.

 

In order to limit the Corporation’s exposure and reliance to a single funding source, the Corporation’s Asset Liability Policy sets a goal of maintaining the amount of borrowings from the FHLB to 15% of asset size. As of September 30, 2014, the Corporation was significantly under this policy guideline at 7.0% of asset size with $59.6 million of total FHLB borrowings. The Corporation also has a policy that limits total borrowings from all sources to 150% of the Corporation’s capital. As of September 30, 2014, the Corporation was significantly under this policy guideline at 76.1% of capital with $69.6 million total borrowings from all sources. The Corporation has maintained FHLB borrowings and total borrowings well within these policy guidelines throughout all of 2013 and through the first nine months of 2014.

 

The Corporation continues to be well under the FHLB maximum borrowing capacity (MBC), which is currently $252.2 million. The Corporation’s two internal policy limits mentioned above are far more restrictive than the FHLB MBC, which is calculated and set quarterly by FHLB.

 

 

Stockholders’ Equity

 

Federal regulatory authorities require banks to meet minimum capital levels. The Corporation maintains capital ratios well above those minimum levels and higher than the Corporation’s national peer group average. The risk-weighted capital ratios are calculated by dividing capital by total risk-weighted assets. Regulatory guidelines determine the risk-weighted assets by assigning assets to one of four risk-weighted categories. The calculation of tier I capital to risk-weighted average assets does not include an add-back to capital for the amount of the allowance for loan losses, thereby making this ratio lower than the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio.

Dividends play a vital role in the management of capital levels of the Corporation. Management seeks a balance between maintaining a sufficient cushion of excess capital above regulatory limits versus the payment of dividends to the shareholders as a direct return of their investment. Due to a constant stream of stable earnings, the payment of a dividend is needed to maintain capital at acceptable levels in order to provide an adequate return of equity to the shareholders.

 

The Corporation’s dividends per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were $0.80, compared to $0.78 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Dividends are paid from current earnings and available retained earnings. The Corporation’s current capital plan calls for management to maintain tier 1capital to average assets between 10.0% and 12.0%. The Corporation’s current tier I capital ratio is 10.7%. As a secondary measurement, the capital plan also targets a long term dividend payout ratio in the range of 35% to 40%. This ratio will vary according to income, but over the long term, the Corporation’s goal is to maintain and target a payout ratio within this range. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the payout ratio was slightly higher than the Capital plan range at 43.2% but has not had a material impact to the Corporation’s level of capital. Management’s goal is to maintain all regulatory capital levels at current levels. Future dividend payout ratios are dependent on the future level of earnings and other factors that impact the level of capital.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The amount of unrealized gain or loss on the securities portfolio is reflected, net of tax, as an adjustment to capital, as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the capital section of the consolidated balance sheet. An unrealized gain increases capital, while an unrealized loss reduces capital. This requirement takes the position that, if the Corporation liquidated the securities portfolio at the end of each period, the current unrealized gain or loss on the securities portfolio would directly impact the Corporation’s capital. As of September 30, 2014, the Corporation showed an unrealized gain, net of tax, of $666,000, compared to unrealized losses of $3,940,000 and $2,009,000 as of December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013, respectively. These unrealized gains and losses, net of tax are excluded from capital when calculating the tier I capital to average assets numbers above. The amount of unrealized gain or loss on the securities portfolio, shown net of tax, as an adjustment to capital, does not include any actual impairment taken on securities, which is shown as a reduction to income on the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The changes in unrealized gains and losses are due to normal changes in market valuations of the Corporation’s securities as a result of interest rate movements.

 

 

Regulatory Capital Changes

 

In July 2013, the federal banking agencies issued final rules to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The phase-in period for community banking organizations begins January 1, 2015, while larger institutions (generally those with assets of $250 billion or more) began compliance on January 1, 2014. The final rules call for the following capital requirements:

 

·A minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%.
·A minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6%.
·A minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%.
·A minimum leverage ratio of 4%.

 

In addition, the final rules establish a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets applicable to all banking organizations. If a banking organization fails to hold capital above the minimum capital ratios and the capital conservation buffer, it will be subject to certain restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. The phase-in period for the capital conservation and countercyclical capital buffers for all banking organizations will begin on January 1, 2016.

 

Under the initially proposed rules, accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) would have been included in a banking organization’s common equity tier 1 capital. The final rules allow community banks to make a one-time election not to include these additional components of AOCI in regulatory capital and instead use the existing treatment under the general risk-based capital rules that excludes most AOCI components from regulatory capital. The opt-out election must be made in the first call report or FR Y-9 series report that is filed after the financial institution becomes subject to the final rule which, for the Corporation is March 31, 2015.

 

The final rules permanently grandfather non-qualifying capital instruments (such as trust preferred securities and cumulative perpetual preferred stock) issued before May 19, 2010 for inclusion in the tier 1 capital of banking organizations with total consolidated assets less than $15 billion as of December 31, 2009, and banking organizations that were mutual holding companies as of May 19, 2010. The Corporation does not have trust preferred securities or cumulative perpetual preferred stock with no plans to add these to the capital structure.

 

The proposed rules would have modified the risk-weight framework applicable to residential mortgage exposures to require banking organizations to divide residential mortgage exposures into two categories in order to determine the applicable risk weight. In response to commenter concerns about the burden of calculating the risk weights and the potential negative effect on credit availability, the final rules do not adopt the proposed risk weights but retain the current risk weights for mortgage exposures under the general risk-based capital rules.

 

Consistent with the Dodd-Frank Act, the new rules replace the ratings-based approach to securitization exposures, which is based on external credit ratings, with the simplified supervisory formula approach in order to determine the appropriate risk weights for these exposures. Alternatively, banking organizations may use the existing gross-up approach to assign securitization exposures to a risk weight category or choose to assign such exposures a 1,250 percent risk weight.

Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Under the new rules, mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) and certain deferred tax assets (DTAs) are subject to stricter limitations than those applicable under the current general risk-based capital rule. The new rules also increase the risk weights for past-due loans, certain commercial real estate loans, and some equity exposures, and makes selected other changes in risk weights and credit conversion factors.

 

Management has evaluated the impact of the above rules on levels of the Corporation’s capital. The final rulings were highly favorable in terms of the items that would have a more significant impact to the Corporation and community banks in general. Specifically, the AOCI final ruling, which would have had the greatest impact, now provides the Corporation with an opt-out provision. The final ruling on the risk weightings of mortgages was favorable and will not have a material negative impact. The rulings as to trust preferred securities, preferred stock, and securitization of assets are not applicable to the Corporation, and presently the revised treatment of MSAs would not be material to capital. The remaining changes to risk weightings on several items mentioned above such as past-due loans and certain commercial real estate loans are not believed to have a material impact to capital presently, but could change as these levels change. Management will continue to assess the impact of these changes on the regulatory ratios of the Corporation and the Bank on the capital, operations, liquidity, and earnings of the Corporation and Bank.

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

In the normal course of business, the Corporation typically has off-balance sheet arrangements related to loan funding commitments. These arrangements may impact the Corporation’s financial condition and liquidity if they were to be exercised within a short period of time. As discussed in the following liquidity section, the Corporation has in place sufficient liquidity alternatives to meet these obligations. The following table presents information on the commitments by the Corporation as of September 30, 2014.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act

 

In April 2012, President Obama signed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) into law. The JOBS Act is aimed at facilitating capital raising by smaller companies and banks and bank holding companies by implementing the following changes:

 

·raising the threshold requiring registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") for banks and bank holding companies from 500 to 2,000 holders of record;
·raising the threshold for triggering deregistration under the Exchange Act for banks and bank holding companies from 300 to 1,200 holders of record;
·raising the limit for Regulation A offerings from $5 million to $50 million per year and exempting some Regulation A offerings from state blue sky laws;
·permitting advertising and general solicitation in Rule 506 and Rule 144A offerings;
·allowing private companies to use "crowdfunding" to raise up to $1 million in any 12-month period, subject to certain conditions; and
·creating a new category of issuer, called an "Emerging Growth Company," for companies with less than $1 billion in annual gross revenue, which will benefit from certain changes that reduce the cost and burden of carrying out an equity IPO and complying with public company reporting obligations for up to five years.

 

While the JOBS Act does not have any current application to the Corporation, management will continue to monitor the implementation rules for potential effects which might benefit the Corporation.

 

 

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

 

In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) was signed into law. Dodd-Frank is intended to effect a fundamental restructuring of federal banking regulation. Among other things, Dodd-Frank creates a new Financial Stability Oversight Council to identify systemic risks in the financial system and gives federal regulators new authority to take control of and liquidate financial firms. Dodd-Frank additionally creates a new independent federal regulator to administer federal consumer protection laws. Dodd-Frank is expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s business operations as its provisions take effect. It is difficult to predict at this time what specific cumulative impact Dodd-Frank and the yet-to-be-written implementing rules and regulations will have on community banks. However, it is expected that, at a minimum, they will increase the Corporation’s operating and compliance costs and could increase interest expense. Among the provisions that are likely to affect the Corporation are the following:

 

Holding Company Capital Requirements

Dodd-Frank requires the Federal Reserve to apply consolidated capital requirements to bank holding companies that are no less stringent than those currently applied to depository institutions. Under these standards, trust preferred securities will be excluded from Tier 1 capital unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010, by a bank holding company with less than $15 billion in assets. Dodd-Frank additionally requires that bank regulators issue countercyclical capital requirements so that the required amount of capital increases in times of economic expansion and decreases in times of economic contraction, are consistent with safety and soundness.

 

Deposit Insurance

Dodd-Frank permanently increased the maximum deposit insurance amount for banks, savings institutions, and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor. Additionally, on February 7, 2011, the Board of Directors of the FDIC approved a final rule based on the Dodd-Frank Act that revises the assessment base from one based on domestic deposits to one based on assets. This change, which was effective in April 2011, saved the Corporation a significant amount of FDIC insurance premiums from the significantly higher FDIC insurance premiums placed into effect after the financial crisis.

 

Corporate Governance

Dodd-Frank requires publicly traded companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation at least every three years, a non-binding vote regarding the frequency of the vote on executive compensation at least every six years, and a non-binding vote on “golden parachute” payments in connection with approvals of mergers and acquisitions unless previously voted on by shareholders. The SEC has finalized the rules implementing these requirements which took effect on January 21, 2011. The Corporation was exempt from these requirements until January 21, 2013, due to its status as a smaller reporting company. Additionally, Dodd-Frank directs the federal banking regulators to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to executives of depository institutions and their holding companies with assets in excess of $1.0 billion, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded. Dodd-Frank also gives the SEC authority to prohibit broker discretionary voting on elections of directors and executive compensation matters.

Limits on Interchange Fees

Dodd-Frank amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer.

 

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Dodd-Frank created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which is granted broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement powers under various federal consumer financial protection laws, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Truth in Lending Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Debt Collection Act, the Consumer Financial Privacy Provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and certain other statutes. The CFPB has examination and primary enforcement authority with respect to depository institutions with $10 billion or more in assets. Smaller institutions will be subject to rules promulgated by the CFPB but will continue to be examined and supervised by federal banking regulators for consumer compliance purposes. The CFPB will have authority to prevent unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices in connection with the offering of consumer financial products. Dodd-Frank authorizes the CFPB to establish certain minimum standards for the origination of residential mortgages including a determination of the borrower’s ability to repay. In addition, Dodd-Frank will allow borrowers to raise certain defenses to foreclosure if they receive any loan other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined by the CFPB. Dodd-Frank permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and standards that are more stringent than those adopted at the federal level and, in certain circumstances, permits state attorneys general to enforce compliance with both the state and federal laws and regulations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a financial institution, the Corporation is subject to three primary risks:

 

·Credit risk
·Liquidity risk
·Interest rate risk

 

The Board of Directors has established an Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) to measure, monitor, and manage these primary market risks. The Asset Liability Policy has instituted guidelines for all of these primary risks, as well as other financial performance measurements with target ranges. The Asset Liability goals and guidelines are consistent with the Strategic Plan goals.

 

Credit Risk

For discussion on credit risk refer to the sections in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis, on securities, non-performing assets, and allowance for loan losses.

 

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity refers to having an adequate supply of cash available to meet business needs. Financial institutions must ensure that there is adequate liquidity to meet a variety of funding needs, at a minimal cost. Minimal cost is an important component of liquidity. If a financial institution is required to take significant action to obtain funding, and is forced to utilize an expensive source, it has not properly planned for its liquidity needs. Funding new loans and covering deposit withdrawals are the primary liquidity needs of the Corporation. The Corporation uses a variety of funding sources to meet liquidity needs, such as:

 

·Deposits
·Loan repayments
·Maturities and sales of securities
·Borrowings from correspondent and member banks
·Repurchase agreements
·Brokered deposits
·Current earnings

 

As noted in the discussion on deposits, customers have historically provided the Corporation with a reliable and steadily increasing source of funds liquidity. The Corporation also has in place relationships with other banking institutions for the purpose of buying and selling Federal funds. The lines of credit with these institutions provide immediate sources of additional liquidity. The Corporation currently has unsecured lines of credit totaling $32 million. This does not include amounts available from member banks such as the Federal Reserve Discount Window or the FHLB of Pittsburgh.

 

Management uses a cumulative maturity gap analysis to measure the amount of assets maturing within various periods versus liabilities maturing in those same periods. A gap ratio of 100% represents an equal amount of assets and liabilities maturing in the same stated period. Management monitors six-month, one-year, three-year, and five-year cumulative gaps to assist in determining liquidity risk. The Corporation was within internal gap guidelines for all ratios as of September 30, 2014. The gap ratios as of September 30, 2014, had not changed significantly since December 31, 2013, with a one-year gap of 86% and a three-year gap of 92%, compared to 87% and 91%, respectively, as of December 31, 2013.

 

Management has been maintaining higher levels of cash and cash equivalents to assist in offsetting the Corporation’s relatively long securities portfolio, which has helped to maintain the gap ratios at their current levels. The strategy of maintaining higher cash levels to improve gap ratios and act as an immediate hedge against liquidity risk and interest rate risk is expected to continue until the securities portfolio is materially shorter in duration. The Corporation’s securities portfolio measurements of duration and price volatility have been declining for the last several quarters and are expected to continue this trend. More recently, management has been selling longer tax-free municipal securities in favor of purchasing shorter taxable U.S. agency and corporate securities.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Although it is unlikely that short term rates will increase in 2014 and into 2015, management’s current position is to increase maturity gap percentages slightly throughout the remainder of 2014 and still maintain them within guidelines. Higher gap ratios will help the Corporation when rates do rise and it is important to take action to increase gap ratios in future quarters. The risk in maintaining high gap percentages is that, should interest rates not rise, management will have a higher amount of maturing assets that will reprice at lower rates. This is referred to as repricing risk. Carrying high gap ratios in the current environment brings on an increased level of repricing risk, which negatively impacts the Corporation’s interest income and margin. The risk of liabilities repricing at higher interest rates is very low in the present environment as over half of the Corporation’s deposits are core deposits with no repricing expected to occur in the near future. The remainder of the Corporation’s maturing liabilities made up of time deposits and borrowings are generally repricing to lower interest rates. Therefore, higher levels of liabilities repricing would currently benefit the Corporation.

 

Given the limited desirable rates available to the deposit customer, management also does not perceive significant risk that deposits maturing in the shorter time frames will leave the Corporation. It is likely that, should market interest rates rise materially in the remainder of 2014 and in 2015, customer behavior patterns would change and deposits would be more rate sensitive with a portion potentially leaving the Corporation. The Corporation has experienced a steady growth in both non-interest bearing and interest bearing funds during this historically low interest rate environment. This steady growth in deposits would likely be interrupted with a marked increase in interest rates.

 

The performance of the equity markets also has a bearing on how much of the current deposits will remain at the Corporation. It is management’s observation that since the financial crisis, an element of the Corporation’s deposit customers has been reluctant to redeploy funds presently at banks back into the equity market. They have been negatively impacted by multiple declines in the equity markets. It remains to be seen whether further equity market improvements will materially change customer behavior.

 

Ideally, management would prefer to maintain slightly higher six-month and one-year gap ratios than the current levels in order to prepare for rates-up, while still maintaining a higher three-year gap ratio to be positioned to reinvest assets after interest rates have increased significantly over a period of time. For example, even if the FOMC were to begin increasing short-term interest rates in mid-2015, it would likely be at least until early 2016 before interest rates would likely near the highs of the next rate cycle. The Corporation’s significantly high overnight cash position is to counter the relatively light initial cash ladder of the securities portfolio and will allow the Corporation to immediately invest in higher yielding instruments when interest rates rise. The risk of carrying large cash balances and positioning for higher interest rates too early may subject the Corporation to more repricing risk and lower net interest margin. Currently, the Corporation’s net interest margin is not improving from prior levels due to lower security yields resulting from higher amortization and lower loan yields resulting from competitive pricing in the current interest rate environment. Management’s future asset liability decisions will be dependent upon improvements in asset yield as well as the expected timing of short-term rate increases. Management expects that the gap ratios will remain within the established guidelines throughout the remainder of 2014.

 

It is important to stress that the gap ratios are a static measurement of the Corporation’s asset liability position. It is only one of many asset liability analysis tools management utilizes to measure, monitor, and manage both liquidity and interest rate risk. The deficiencies with the gap analysis are that it makes no provision for changes to the balance sheet out into the future and would not factor in changes that management would very likely make to mitigate future interest rate risk.

 

In addition to the cumulative maturity gap analysis discussed above, management utilizes a number of liquidity measurements that management believes has advantages over and gives better clarity to the Corporation’s present and projected liquidity that the static gap analysis offers.

 

The Corporation analyzes the following additional liquidity measurements in an effort to monitor and mitigate liquidity risk:

 

·Core Deposit Ratio – Core deposits as a percentage of assets
·Funding Concentration Analysis – Alternative funding sources outside of core deposits as a percentage of assets
·Short-term Funds Availability – Readily available short-term funds as a percentage of assets

68
Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

·Securities Portfolio Liquidity – Cash flows maturing in one year or less as a percentage of assets and securities
·Readily Available Unencumbered Securities and Cash – Unencumbered securities as a percentage of the securities portfolio and as a percentage of total assets
·Borrowing Limits – Internal borrowing limits in terms of both FHLB and total borrowings
·Three, Six, and Twelve-month Projected Sources and Uses of Funds – Projection of future liquidity positions

 

These measurements are designed to prevent undue reliance on outside sources of funding and to ensure a steady stream of liquidity is available should events occur that would cause a sudden decrease in deposits or large increase in loans or both, which would in turn draw significantly from the Corporation’s available liquidity sources. As of September 30, 2014, the Corporation was within guidelines for all of the above measurements except the securities portfolio liquidity as a percentage of assets. The policy calls for the Corporation to maintain securities portfolio cash flows maturing in one year or less between 5% and 10% of total assets. As of September 30, 2014, these cash flows represented 4.2% of total assets, which is under the lower guideline. However, when factoring in available overnight cash, the Corporation’s securities portfolio liquidity represented 7.8% of total assets. It is important for the Corporation to prepare for a rates-up environment and having more liquidity is advantageous as funds can be reinvested in higher yielding assets faster when sufficient liquidity exists. Management has been carrying an average of $35 million to $45 million of cash and cash equivalents on a daily basis throughout the first nine months of 2014, and expects this will continue in the near future. All liquidity measurements are tracked and reported quarterly by management to both observe trends and ensure the measurements stay within desired ranges. Management is confident that a sufficient amount of internal and external liquidity exists to provide for significant unanticipated liquidity needs.

Interest rate risk is measured using two analytical tools:

 

·Changes in net interest income
·Changes in net portfolio value

 

Financial modeling is used to forecast net interest income and earnings, as well as net portfolio value, also referred to as fair value. The modeling is generally conducted under seven different interest rate scenarios. The scenarios consist of a projection of net interest income if rates remain flat, increase 100, 200, 300, or 400 basis points, or decrease 50 or 100 basis points. Rates-down scenarios are unlikely at this point so management is more focused on the rates-up scenarios. The results obtained through the use of forecasting models are based on a variety of factors. Both the net interest income and fair value forecasts make use of the maturity and repricing schedules to determine the changes to the balance sheet over the course of time. Additionally, there are many assumptions that factor into the results. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·Projected forward interest rates
·Slope of the U.S. Treasury curve
·Spreads available on securities over the U.S. Treasury curve
·Prepayment speeds on loans held and mortgage-backed securities
·Anticipated calls on securities with call options
·Deposit and loan balance fluctuations
·Competitive pressures affecting loan and deposit rates
·Economic conditions
·Consumer reaction to interest rate changes

 

For the interest rate sensitivity analysis and net portfolio value analysis discussed below, results are based on a static balance sheet reflecting no projected growth from balances as of September 30, 2014. While it is unlikely that the balance sheet will not grow at all, management considers a static analysis of this sort to be the most conservative and most accurate means to evaluate fair value and future interest rate risk. The static balance sheet approach is used to reduce the number of variables in calculating the model’s accuracy in predicting future net interest income. It is appropriate to pull out various balance sheet growth scenarios which could be utilized to compensate for a declining margin. By testing the model using a base model assuming no growth, this variable is eliminated and management can focus on predicted net interest income based on the current existing balance sheet. Management does run additional scenarios with expected growth rates through the asset liability model to most accurately predict future financial performance. This is done separately and apart from the static balance sheet approach discussed above to test fair value and future interest rate risk.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

As a result of the many assumptions, this information should not be relied upon to predict future results. Additionally, both of the analyses discussed below do not consider any action that management could take to minimize or offset the negative effect of changes in interest rates. These tools are used to assist management in identifying possible areas of risk in order to address them before a greater risk is posed. Personnel perform an in-depth annual validation and a quarterly review of the settings and assumptions used in the model to ensure reliability of the forecast results. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2014, an independent third party performed a comprehensive validation on the model input, assumptions, and output and determined that the model was managed appropriately and generating acceptable results. Back testing of the model to actual results is performed quarterly to ensure the validity of the assumptions in the model. The internal and external validations as well as the back testing indicate that the model assumptions are reliable.

 

Changes in Net Interest Income

 

The change in net interest income measures the amount of net interest income fluctuation that would be experienced over one year, assuming interest rates change immediately and remain the same for one year. This is considered to be a short-term view of interest rate risk. The analysis of changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates is commonly referred to as interest rate sensitivity. The Corporation’s interest rate sensitivity analysis indicates were interest rates to go up immediately the Corporation would realize more net interest income. This is due to the ability of the Corporation to immediately achieve higher interest earnings on interest-earning assets while having the ability to limit the amount of increase in interest-bearing liabilities based on the timing of deposit rate changes. This results in an increase in net interest income in the up-rate scenarios, but a decline in net interest income in the down-rate scenarios.

 

The third quarter 2014 analysis projects net interest income expected in the seven rate scenarios over a one-year time horizon. As of September 30, 2014, the Corporation was well within guidelines for the maximum amount of net interest income change in all rate scenarios. All up-rate scenarios show a positive impact to net interest income. This is largely due to the increase in variable rate loans that has occurred during this historically low rate environment and the higher cash balances. On the liability side, if interest rates do increase, it is typical for management to react slowly in increasing deposit rates. The increases in net interest income in the up-rate scenarios are slightly lower than the increases reflected at December 31, 2013, but importantly still show improved net interest income. It is unlikely that rates will go down, but in the event that they would go lower, the Corporation would have exposure to all maturing fixed-rate loans and securities, which would reprice lower while most of the Corporation’s interest-bearing deposits could not be repriced any lower. This would result in a decline in net interest income in any down-rate scenario. However, even in the highly unlikely down-rate scenarios, the Corporation’s exposure to declining net interest income is still within policy guidelines.

 

Management’s primary concern in this current rate environment is with the most likely scenario of higher interest rates; therefore, they are reviewed with more scrutiny. For the rates-up 100 basis point scenario, net interest income increased minimally by 1.2% compared to the rates unchanged scenario. This minimal increase reflects the fact that some loans are priced at floor rates of 4.00% currently and would not be able to immediately reprice by the full amount of the rate movement. However, in the remaining rates-up scenarios, the net interest income increases more substantially reflecting the full repriceabilty of the Corporation’s interest-earning assets. For the rates-up 200, 300, and 400 basis point scenarios, net interest income increased by 4.5%, 9.1%, and 14.2%, respectively, compared to the rates unchanged scenario. Management’s maximum permitted net interest income declines by policy are -5%, -10%, -15%, and -20% for the rates up 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point scenarios, respectively.

 

The positive impact of significantly higher rates is primarily due to the favorable impact of all of the Corporation’s variable rate loans repricing by the full amount of the Federal rate change, assisted by the Corporation’s relatively high interest earning cash balances and that component of the loans and securities portfolios that reprice in less than one year. This more than offsets the increase in interest expense caused by repricing deposits and borrowings, where they are only repricing by a fraction of the rate change. The more aggressive rates-up scenarios also benefit from known historical experience of deposit rate increases lagging and a slowing in the pace of the actual rate increase as interest rates continue to rise. This in essence allows management the ability to neutralize the impact of higher rates by controlling the large amount of liabilities that are repricing. Management does not expect the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate changes to increase or change significantly during the remainder of 2014.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The assumptions and analysis of interest rate risk are based on historical experience during varied economic cycles. Management believes these assumptions to be appropriate; however, actual results could vary significantly. Management uses this analysis to identify trends in interest rate sensitivity and determine if action is necessary to mitigate asset liability risk.

 

Changes in Net Portfolio Value

 

The change in net portfolio value is considered a tool to measure long-term interest rate risk. The analysis measures the exposure of the balance sheet to valuation changes due to changes in interest rates. The calculation of net portfolio value discounts future cash flows to the present value based on current market rates. The change in net portfolio value estimates the gain or loss that would occur on market sensitive instruments given an interest rate increase or decrease in the same seven scenarios mentioned above. As of September 30, 2014, the Corporation was within guidelines for all scenarios with the rates-up exposures showing less volatility than the December 31, 2013 measurements. The decrease in fair value exposure since December 31, 2013, can be primarily attributed to holding higher levels of cash that have no fair value risk. Additionally, the value of non-interest bearing deposit accounts has always been highly favorable in a rising rate environment as these balances are more valuable to the Corporation, representing a decrease in liabilities, as interest rates rise.

 

In the first quarter of 2013, the asset liability model settings were changed for the Corporation’s interest-bearing core deposit accounts to reflect their true value more accurately as rates rise based on assumptions regarding the proportionality of their rates changing in relation to the change in the Prime rate. More recently, management has built more deposit rate sensitivity into the model to reflect that interest rates will be coming off all-time lows and they have been artificially held low for a prolonged period of time. Management believes the interest bearing core deposit types will be more rate sensitive on average than these deposits were in the last rates-up cycle.

 

The results as of September 30, 2014, indicate that the Corporation’s net portfolio value would experience a slight valuation gain of 1.9% in the rates-up 100 basis point scenario, and losses of 1.0%, 6.1% and 12.7% in the rates-up 200, 300, and 400 basis point scenarios, respectively. Management’s maximum permitted declines in net portfolio value by policy are -7.5% for rates-up 100 basis points, graduating up to -30% for rates-up 400 basis points. A valuation loss indicates that the value of the Corporation’s assets is declining at a faster pace than the decrease in the value of the Corporation’s liabilities. The more significant valuation losses represented in the higher rates-up scenarios are indicative of the Corporation’s longer-term assets like residential mortgages and municipal securities showing significant declines in value as interest rates increase further. However, the value of the cash held by the Corporation and the non-interest bearing deposits helps to offset this negative exposure to a large degree. It is not anticipated that these exposures to valuation changes will change materially during the remainder of 2014. Additionally, based on three past decay rate studies on the Corporation’s core deposits, management does not expect a material decline in core deposit accounts, including the non-interest bearing accounts, when short term interest rates do increase. The Corporation’s core deposits have been stable through a number of rate cycles.

 

The weakness with the net portfolio value analysis is that it assumes liquidation of the Corporation rather than as a going concern. For that reason, it is considered a secondary measurement of interest rate risk to “Changes in Net Interest Income” discussed above. However, the net portfolio value analysis is a more important tool to measure the impact of interest rate changes to capital. In the current regulatory climate, the focus is on ensuring adequate asset liability modeling is being done to project the impact of very large interest rate increases. The asset liability modeling currently in place measures the impact of such a rate change on the valuation of the Corporation’s loans, securities, deposits, and borrowings, and the resulting impact to capital. Management continues to analyze additional scenario testing to model “worst case” scenarios to adequately plan for the possible severe impact of such events.
