The consolidated statements have been prepared using the accounting policies described in the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 updated, as required, for any new pronouncements or changes.

The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014, or any other period.

Stock-Based Compensation

On May 21, 2014, we awarded employees 534,950 stock options and directors 57,600 stock options with an exercise price of $13.15 and grant date fair value of $1.45 per stock option. On May 21, 2014, we also awarded employees 251,030 restricted common shares and directors 21,600 restricted common shares with a grant date fair value of $13.22. Awarded stock options and common shares vest over a ten-year period with the first vesting occurring on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense of $1.8 million and $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $3.0 million and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was recognized in compensation expense relating to our stock benefit plans. At June 30, 2014 there was compensation expense of $5.5 million to be recognized for awarded but unvested stock options and $17.2 million for unvested common shares.

Income Taxes- Uncertain Tax Positions

Accounting standards prescribe a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. As of June 30, 2014 we had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

Table of Contents

We recognize interest accrued related to: (1) unrecognized tax benefits in federal and state income taxes and (2) refund claims in other operating income. We recognize penalties (if any) in federal and state income taxes. There is no amount accrued for the payment of interest or penalties at June 30, 2014. We are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service and any state in which we conduct business for the tax periods ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects.” This guidance permits reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The proportional amortization method permits the amortization of 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. This guidance is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure”. This guidance clarifies that an in substance repossession or foreclosure has occurred, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or 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. Interim and annual disclosure is required of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. This guidance is effective using either the modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. This guidance supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of this guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised 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 and provides five steps to be analyzed to accomplish the core principle. This guidance is effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our results of operations and financial position.

In June 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing: Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures”. This guidance requires repurchase-to-maturity transactions to be recorded and accounted for as secured borrowings and also requires 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. Additionally, an entity is required to disclose information on transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements, and provide increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance related to repurchase-to-maturity and repurchase financing

transactions, and disclosures for certain transactions accounted for as a sale is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods within those years. The disclosures for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings are required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. We do not expect that this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

In June 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”. This guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. Specifically, if the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. Further, the total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

(2) Business Segments

We operate in two reportable business segments: Community Banking and Consumer Finance. The Community Banking segment provides services traditionally offered by full-service community banks, including business and personal deposit accounts and business and personal loans, as well as insurance, brokerage and investment management and trust services. The Consumer Finance segment, which is comprised of Northwest Consumer Discount Company, a subsidiary of Northwest, operates 50 offices in Pennsylvania and offers personal installment loans for a variety of consumer and real estate products. This activity is funded primarily through an intercompany borrowing relationship with Allegheny Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Northwest. Net income is the primary measure used by management to measure segment performance. The following tables provide financial information for these reportable segments. The “All Other” column represents the parent company and elimination entries necessary to reconcile to the consolidated amounts presented in the financial statements.

We review our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which amortized costs have exceeded fair values, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer, and the intent to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in value. Certain investments are evaluated using our best estimate of future cash flows. If the estimate of cash flows indicates that an adverse change has occurred, other-than-temporary impairment is recognized for the amount of the unrealized loss that was deemed credit related.

The following table shows the fair value of and gross unrealized losses on investment securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2014 (in thousands):

Municipal Securities

We review our portfolio of municipal securities quarterly for impairment. We initially evaluate municipal securities for other-than-temporary impairment by comparing the fair value, provided to us by a third party pricing source using quoted prices for similar assets that are actively traded, to the carrying value. When an investment’s fair value is below 80% of the amortized cost we then assess the stated interest rate and compare the stated interest rate to current market interest rates to determine if the decline in fair value is considered to be attributable primarily to interest rates. If the stated interest rate approximates current interest rates for similar securities, we determine if the investment is rated and if so, if the rating has changed during the current period. If the rating has not changed during the current period, we review publicly available information to determine if there has been any negative change in the underlying municipality. As of June 30, 2014, none of the investments in our municipal securities portfolio had an amortized cost that exceeded the fair value for more than twelve months.

Credit related other-than-temporary impairment on all debt securities is recognized in earnings while noncredit related other-than-temporary impairment on available-for-sale debt securities, not expected to be sold, is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The table below shows a cumulative roll forward of credit losses recognized in earnings for debt securities held and not intended to be sold for the quarter ended (in thousands):

Table of Contents

Our loan portfolios include loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR), where concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include: extending the note’s maturity date, permitting interest only payments, reducing the interest rate to a rate lower than current market rates for new debt with similar risk, reducing the principal payment, principal forbearance or other actions. These concessions are applicable to all loan segments and classes. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and may be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period of at least six months.

When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, the loan’s observable market price or the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, for collateral dependent loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. In periods subsequent to modification, we evaluate all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, for possible impairment, using ASC 310-10. As a result, loans modified in a TDR may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan.

Loans modified in a TDR are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future default. If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, we evaluate the loan for possible further impairment. The allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance, partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan, or the loan may be charged-off completely.

Credit quality indicators: We categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. We analyze loans individually by classifying the loans by credit risk. Credit relationships greater than or equal to $1.0 million classified as special mention or substandard are reviewed quarterly for deterioration or improvement to determine if the loan is appropriately classified. We use the following definitions for risk ratings other than pass:

Special mention — Loans designated as special mention have specific, well-defined risk issues, which create a high level of uncertainty regarding the long-term viability of the business. Loans in this class are considered to have high-risk characteristics. A special mention loan exhibits material negative financial trends due to company-specific or systemic conditions. If these potential weaknesses are not mitigated, they threaten the borrower’s capacity to meet its debt obligations. Special mention loans still demonstrate sufficient financial flexibility to react to and positively address the root cause of the adverse financial trends without significant deviations from their current business strategy. Their potential weaknesses deserve our close attention and warrant enhanced monitoring.

Substandard — Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful — Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard. In addition, those weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. A loan classified as doubtful exhibits discernible loss potential, but a complete loss seems very unlikely. The possibility of a loss on a doubtful loan is high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may strengthen the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until a more exact status can be determined.

Table of Contents

Loss — Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such value that the continuance as a loan is not warranted. A loss classification does not mean that the loan has no recovery or salvage value; instead, it means that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off all or a portion of a basically worthless loan even though partial recovery may be possible in the future.

We are in the process of performing our annual goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2014 and do not anticipate that goodwill will be impaired. See the Overview of Critical Accounting Policies Involving Estimates section for a description of our testing procedures.

(6) Guarantees

We issue standby letters of credit in the normal course of business. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party. We are required to perform under a standby letter of credit when drawn upon by the guaranteed third party in the case of nonperformance by our customer. The credit risk associated with standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is subject to normal loan underwriting procedures. Collateral may be obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer. At June 30, 2014, the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these standby letters of credit was $23.6 million, of which $22.5 million is fully collateralized. At June 30, 2014, we had a liability, which represents deferred income, of $962,000 related to the standby letters of credit. There are no recourse provisions that would enable us to recover any amounts from third parties.

(7) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering any dilutive items. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. All stock options outstanding during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the stock options’ exercise price was less than the average market price of the common shares of $13.72 and $14.09, respectively. All stock options outstanding during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013 were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the stock options’ exercise price was less than the average market price of the common shares of $12.45 and $12.51, respectively.

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share follows (in thousands, except share data and per share amounts):

	Quarter ended			Six months ended
	June 30,			June 30,
	2014		2013	2014	2013

(8) Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefits

During 2013, the defined benefit pension plan was amended to lock-in all benefits earned through March 31, 2013 based on the plan formula using years of service and average monthly compensation as of March 31, 2013 and provide that, for service commencing January 1, 2013, additional benefits will be earned equal to 1% of career average pay for each year that a participant completes at least 1,000 hours of service. Also, effective April 1, 2013, participants who are eligible to receive required minimum distributions due to attaining age 70 ½ will be required to begin payment of benefits even though they may remain employed by us.

The following table sets forth the net periodic costs for the defined benefit pension plans and post retirement healthcare plans for the periods indicated (in thousands):

(9) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial condition, is required to be disclosed. These requirements exclude certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Financial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis and certain financial assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis are accounted for using a three-level hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices with readily available independent data in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable

Table of Contents

market inputs (Level 3). When various inputs for measurement fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the lowest level input that has a significant impact on fair value measurement is used.

Financial assets and liabilities are categorized based upon the following characteristics or inputs to the valuation techniques:

· Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities for which inputs are observable and are obtained from reliable quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in actively traded markets. This is the most reliable fair value measurement and includes, for example, active exchange-traded equity securities.

· Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which values are based on similar assets or liabilities that are actively traded. Level 2 also includes pricing models in which the inputs are corroborated by market data, for example, matrix pricing.

· Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 inputs include the following:

· Quotes from brokers or other external sources that are not considered binding;

· Quotes from brokers or other external sources where it cannot be determined that market participants would in fact transact for the asset or liability at the quoted price;

· Quotes and other information from brokers or other external sources where the inputs are not deemed observable.

We are responsible for the valuation process and as part of this process may use data from outside sources in establishing fair value. We perform due diligence to understand the inputs used or how the data was calculated or derived. We also corroborate the reasonableness of external inputs in the valuation process.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statement of financial condition approximate fair value for the following financial instruments: cash on hand, interest-earning deposits in other institutions, federal funds sold and other short-term investments, accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable, and marketable securities available-for-sale.

Marketable Securities

Where available, market values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes, and prices obtained from independent pricing services.

Debt securities — available for sale - Generally, debt securities are valued using pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions and other pricing models utilizing observable inputs. The valuation for most debt securities is classified as Level 2. Securities within Level 2 include corporate bonds, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities and US government obligations. Certain corporate debt securities do not have an active market and as such the broker pricing received uses alternative methods. The fair value of these corporate debt securities is determined by using a discounted cash flow model using market assumptions, which generally include cash flow, collateral and other market assumptions. As such, these securities are included herein as Level 3 assets.

Equity securities — available for sale - Level 1 securities include publicly traded securities valued using quoted market prices. We consider the financial condition of the issuer to determine if the securities have indicators of impairment.

Table of Contents

Debt securities — held to maturity - The fair value of debt securities held to maturity is determined in the same manner as debt securities available for sale.

Loans Receivable

Loans with comparable characteristics including collateral and re-pricing structures are segregated for valuation purposes. Characteristics include remaining term, coupon interest, and estimated prepayment speeds. Delinquent loans are separately evaluated given the impact delinquency has on the projected future cash flow of the loan and the approximate discount or market rate. Each loan pool is separately valued utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis. Projected monthly cash flows are discounted to present value using a market rate for comparable loans, which is not considered an exit price.

FHLB Stock

Due to the restrictions placed on the transferability of FHLB stock it is not practical to determine the fair value.

Deposit Liabilities

The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which includes demand deposits, money market, and other savings accounts, is the amount payable on demand. Although market premiums paid for depository institutions reflect an additional value for these low-cost deposits, adjusting fair value for any value expected to be derived from retaining those deposits for a future period of time or from the benefit that results from the ability to fund interest-earning assets with these deposit liabilities is prohibited. The fair value estimates of deposit liabilities do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by these deposits compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market. Fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies contractual cost currently being offered in the existing portfolio to current market rates being offered locally for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The valuation adjustment for the portfolio consists of the present value of the difference of these two cash flows, discounted at the assumed market rate of the corresponding maturity.

Borrowed Funds

Fixed rate advances are valued by comparing their contractual cost to the prevailing market cost. The carrying amount of collateralized borrowings approximates the fair value.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is calculated using the discounted cash flows at the prevailing rate of interest.

Cash flow hedges — Interest rate swap agreements (“swaps”)

The fair value of the swaps is the amount we would expect to pay to terminate the agreements and is based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows using the LIBOR swap curve, the basis for the underlying interest rate.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

These financial instruments generally are not sold or traded, and estimated fair values are not readily available. However, the fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. Commitments to extend credit are generally short-term in nature and, if drawn upon, are issued under current market terms. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there was no significant unrealized appreciation or depreciation on these financial instruments.

Impaired loans — A loan is considered to be impaired as described in the Overview of Critical Accounting Policies Involving Estimates, Allowance for Loan Losses section. We classify loans individually evaluated for impairment that require a specific or TDR reserve as nonrecurring Level 3.

Real Estate Owned — Real estate owned is comprised of property acquired through foreclosure or voluntarily conveyed by delinquent borrowers. These assets are recorded on the date acquired at the lower of the related loan balance or fair value, less estimated disposition costs, with the fair value being determined by appraisal. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are valued at the lower of the amount recorded at acquisition date or fair value, less estimated disposition costs. We classify all real estate owned as nonrecurring Level 3.

The table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis and for which we have utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value at June 30, 2014 (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Fair value		Valuation techniques	Significant unobservable inputs	Range (weighted average)

Debt securities	$	12,543	Discounted cash flow	Discount margin	0.35% to 2.1% (0.69)%
				Default rates	1.00%
				Prepayment speeds	1.00% annually

Loans measured for impairment	55,838		Appraisal value (1)	Estimated cost to sell	10%

Real estate owned	14,915		Appraisal value (1)	Estimated cost to sell	10%

(1) Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which may include level 3 inputs that are not identifiable, or by using the discounted cash flow method if the loan is not collateral dependent.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our debt securities are discount margins, default rates and prepayment speeds. Significant increases in any of those rates would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

(10) Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in the Company’s Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Trust Preferred Securities) and Interest Rate Swaps

We have two statutory business trusts: Northwest Bancorp Capital Trust III, a Delaware statutory business trust and Northwest Bancorp Statutory Trust IV, a Connecticut statutory business trust (“Trusts”). These trusts exist solely to issue preferred securities to third parties for cash, issue common securities to the Company in exchange for capitalization of the Trusts, invest the proceeds from the sale of the trust securities in an equivalent amount of debentures of the Company, and engage in other activities that are incidental to those previously listed.

Northwest Bancorp Capital Trust III (Trust III) issued 50,000 cumulative trust preferred securities in a private transaction to a pooled investment vehicle on December 5, 2006 (liquidation value of $1,000 per preferred security or $50,000,000) with a stated maturity of December 30, 2035. These securities carry a floating interest rate, which is reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.38%. Northwest Bancorp Statutory Trust IV (Trust IV) issued 50,000 cumulative trust preferred securities in a private transaction to a pooled investment vehicle on December 15, 2006 (liquidation value of $1,000 per preferred security or $50,000,000) with a stated maturity of December 15, 2035. These securities carry a floating interest rate, which is reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.38%. The Trusts have invested the proceeds of the offerings in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures issued by the Company. The structure of these debentures mirrors the structure of the trust-preferred securities. Trust III holds $51,547,000 of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures and Trust IV holds $51,547,000 of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. These subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trusts. Cash distri-butions on the trust securities are made on a quarterly basis to the extent interest on the debentures is received by the Trusts. We have the right to defer payment of interest on the subordinated debentures at any time, or from time-to-time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on the subordinated debentures are deferred, the distributions on the trust preferred securities are also deferred. Interest on the subordinated debentures and distributions on the trust securities is cumulative. To date, there have been no interest deferrals. Our obligation constitutes a full, irrevocable, and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis of the obligations of the trust under the preferred securities.

We are currently a counterparty to three interest rate swap agreements (swaps), designating the swaps as cash flow hedges. The swaps are intended to protect against the variability of cash flows associated with Trust III and Trust IV. The first swap modifies the re-pricing characteristics of Trust III, wherein for a ten year period expiring in September 2018, the Company receives interest of three-month LIBOR from a counterparty and pays a fixed rate of 4.61% to the same counterparty calculated on a notional amount of $25.0 million. The other two swaps modify the re-pricing characteristics of Trust IV, wherein (i) for a seven year period expiring in September 2015, the Company receives interest of three-month LIBOR from a counterparty and pays a fixed rate of 3.85% to the same counterparty calculated on a notional amount of $25.0 million and (ii) for a ten year period expiring in September 2018, the Company receives interest of three-month LIBOR from a counterparty and pays a fixed rate of 4.09% to the same counterparty calculated on a notional amount of $25.0 million. The swap agreements were entered into with a counterparty that met our credit standards and the agreements contain collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. We believe that the credit risk inherent in the contracts is not significant. At June 30, 2014, $7.8 million of cash was pledged as collateral to the counterparty.

At June 30, 2014, the fair value of the swap agreements was $(7.5) million and was the amount we would have expected to pay if the contracts were terminated. There was no material hedge ineffectiveness for these swaps.

(11) Legal Proceedings

We establish accruals for legal proceedings when information related to the loss contingencies represented by those matters indicates both that a loss is probable and that the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2014 we have accrued $2.4 million. This amount is based on our analysis of currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and uncertainties. Any such accruals are adjusted thereafter as appropriate to reflect changes in circumstances. Due to the inherent subjectivity of assessments and unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts accrued may not represent the ultimate loss to us from legal proceedings.

Toth v. Northwest Savings Bank

On May 7, 2012, Ashley Toth (“Plaintiff”) filed a putative class action complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania against Northwest Savings Bank (“Northwest”). Plaintiff’s complaint alleged state law claims related to Northwest’s order of posting ATM and debit card transactions and the assessment of overdraft fees on deposit customer accounts. Northwest filed preliminary objections to the putative class action complaint on June 29, 2012. On September 6, 2012, Plaintiff filed an amended putative class action complaint containing substantially the same allegations as the initial putative class action complaint. On November 5, 2012, Northwest filed preliminary objections to the amended putative class action complaint. Plaintiff filed her opposition to Northwest’s preliminary objections on December 6, 2012, and Northwest filed its reply in support of the preliminary objections on January 3, 2013. On June 25, 2013, the court entered an order, granting in part and overruling in part, Northwest’s preliminary objections.

On November 18, 2013, the parties participated in a mediation and reached an agreement in principle, subject to the preparation and execution of a mutually acceptable settlement agreement and release, to fully, finally and completely settle, resolve, discharge and release all claims that have been or could have been asserted in the action on a class-wide basis. The proposed settlement contemplates that, in return for a full and complete release of claims by Plaintiff and the settlement class members, Northwest will create a settlement fund for distribution to the settlement class members after certain court-approved reductions, including for attorney’s fees and expenses. The proposed settlement is subject to preliminary and final court approval.

Executive Summary and Comparison of Financial Condition

Total assets at June 30, 2014 were $7.902 billion, an increase of $20.8 million, or 0.3%, from $7.881 billion at December 31, 2013. This increase in assets was due to an increase in net loans receivable of $79.3 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in marketable securities of $46.2 million. The net increase in total assets was funded by increases in deposits and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $105.0 million and $11.0 million, respectively, as well as net income of $27.4 million year-to-date. Partially offsetting these funding increases was a decrease in retained earnings of $98.4 million due primarily to the payment of dividends of $1.36 per share which includes the special $1.00 per share dividend declared and paid in the second quarter this year.

Table of Contents

Total loans receivable increased by $79.4 million, or 1.4%, to $5.886 billion at June 30, 2014, from $5.806 billion at December 31, 2013. Loans funded during the six months ended June 30, 2014, of $940.4 million exceeded loan maturities and principal repayments of $842.8 million and mortgage loan sales of $1.0 million. Our business banking loan portfolio increased by $90.1 million, or 4.5%, to $2.101 billion at June 30, 2014 from $2.011 billion at December 31, 2013, as we continue to emphasize the origination and retention of commercial and commercial real estate loans. Our personal banking loan portfolio decreased by $10.6 million, or 0.3%, to $3.785 billion at June 30, 2014 from $3.795 billion at December 31, 2013. This decrease is primarily attributable to a $17.0 million decrease in home equity loans. As growth in the first half of the year was hampered by the wet Spring conditions.

Total deposits increased by $105.0 million, or 1.9%, to $5.774 billion at June 30, 2014 from $5.669 billion at December 31, 2013. All deposit account types, with the exception of time deposits, increased during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased by $83.6 million, or 10.6%, to $872.7 million at June 30, 2014 from $789.1 million at December 31, 2013. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $48.7 million, or 5.7%, to $901.5 million at June 30, 2014 from $852.8 million at December 31, 2013. Money market deposit accounts increased by $15.3 million, or 1.3%, to $1.183 billion at June 30, 2014 from $1.168 billion at December 31, 2013. Savings deposits increased by $44.7 million, or 3.8%, to $1.236 billion at June 30, 2014 from $1.192 billion at December 31, 2013. Time deposits, however, decreased by $87.2 million, or 5.2%, to $1.580 billion at June 30, 2014 from $1.667 billion at December 31, 2013. We believe the increase in more liquid types of deposit accounts is due primarily to customers’ reluctance to lock in time deposits at these historically low rates as well as our new marketing campaign which started during March 2014 to attract demand deposit customers.

Borrowed funds decreased by $12.3 million, or 1.4%, to $869.3 million at June 30, 2014, from $881.6 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease is the result of a $12.3 million decrease in collateralized borrowings. None of our FHLB advances matured during the quarter and the next scheduled maturity is in February 2015.

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2014 was $1.072 billion, or $11.30 per share, a decrease of $84.3 million, or 7.3%, from $1.157 billion, or $12.27 per share, at December 31, 2013. This decrease was the result of cash dividend payments during the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $125.8 million. Partially offsetting this decrease was year-to-date net income of $27.4 million, an increase in paid-in-capital of $6.5 million related to employee incentive stock option exercises and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $6.7 million due to an improvement in the unrealized gain position of the investment securities portfolio.

Financial institutions and their holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on a company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, financial institutions must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting guidelines. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments made by the regulators about components, risk-weighting and other factors.

Quantitative measures, established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy, require financial institutions to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to total

(1) The Federal Reserve does not yet have formal capital requirements established for savings and loan holding companies.

In July 2013, the FDIC and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.

Table of Contents

The final rule becomes effective for Northwest on January 1, 2015. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective. The final rule also officially implements these consolidated capital requirements for savings and loan holding companies, such as the Company, effective January 1, 2015.

The following table shows the Basel III regulatory capital levels that must be maintained to avoid limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments for the periods indicated:

We are required to maintain a sufficient level of liquid assets, as determined by management and reviewed for adequacy by the FDIC and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking during their regular examinations. Northwest monitors its liquidity position primarily using the ratio of unencumbered available-for-sale liquid assets as a percentage of deposits and borrowings (“liquidity ratio”). Northwest’s liquidity ratio at June 30, 2014 was 11.7%. We adjust liquidity levels in order to meet funding needs for deposit outflows, payment of real estate taxes and insurance on mortgage loan escrow accounts, repayment of borrowings and loan commitments. At June 30, 2014 Northwest had $2.082 billion of additional borrowing capacity available with the FHLB, including $150.0 million on an overnight line of credit, as well as $192.7 million of borrowing capacity available with the Federal Reserve Bank and $80.0 million with two correspondent banks.

We paid $104.6 million and $22.0 million in cash dividends during the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $125.8 million and $22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As was previously announced, we paid a regular dividend of $0.13 per share and a special dividend of $1.00 per share in the second quarter of 2014. The common stock dividend payout ratio (dividends declared per share divided by net income per share) was 807.1% and 160.0% for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, on dividends of $1.13 per share and $0.24 per share, respectively. The common stock dividend payout ratio for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 453.3% and 75.0%, respectively, on dividends of $1.36 and $0.24 per share, respectively. On July 16, 2014, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.13 per share payable on August 14, 2014 to shareholders of record as of July 31, 2014. This represents the 79th consecutive quarter we have paid a cash dividend.

Nonperforming Assets

The following table sets forth information with respect to nonperforming assets. Nonaccrual loans are those loans on which the accrual of interest has ceased. Generally, when a loan is 90 days past due, we fully reverse all accrued interest thereon and cease to accrue interest thereafter. Exceptions are made for loans that have contractually matured, are in the process of being modified to extend the maturity date and are otherwise current as to principal and interest, and well secured loans that are in process of collection. Loans may also be placed on nonaccrual before they reach 90 days past due if conditions exist that call into question our ability to collect all contractual interest. Other nonperforming assets represent property acquired through foreclosure or repossession. Foreclosed property is carried at the lower of its fair value less estimated costs to sell, or the principal balance of the related loan.

A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement including both contractual principal and interest payments. The amount of impairment is required to be measured using one of three methods: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, a specific allowance is allocated for the impairment. Impaired loans at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $164.0 million and $173.8 million, respectively.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Our Board of Directors has adopted an “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” (“ALL”) policy designed to provide management with a systematic methodology for determining and documenting the ALL each reporting period. This methodology was developed to provide a consistent process and review procedure to ensure that the ALL is in conformity with GAAP, our policies and procedures and other supervisory and regulatory guidelines.

On an ongoing basis, the Credit Administration department, as well as loan officers, branch managers and department heads, review and monitor the loan portfolio for problem loans. This portfolio monitoring includes a review of the monthly delinquency reports as well as historical comparisons and trend analysis. In addition, a meeting is held every quarter with each region to monitor the performance and status of loans on an internal watch list. On an on-going basis the loan officer in conjunction with a portfolio manager grades or classifies problem loans or potential problem loans based upon their knowledge of the lending relationship and other information previously accumulated. This rating is also

Table of Contents

reviewed independently by our Loan Review department on a periodic basis. Our loan grading system for problem loans is consistent with industry regulatory guidelines which classify loans as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss.” Loans that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the previous categories, but which possess some weaknesses, are designated as “special mention”. A “substandard” loan is any loan that is 90 days or more contractually delinquent or is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as “doubtful” have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions or values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans classified as “loss” are considered uncollectible so that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss allowance is not warranted.

Credit relationships that have been classified as substandard or doubtful and are greater than or equal to $1.0 million are reviewed by the Credit Administration department for possible impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including both contractual principal and interest payments.

If an individual loan is deemed to be impaired, the Credit Administration department determines the proper measure of impairment for each loan based on one of three methods: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measurement of the impaired loan is more or less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Credit Administration department adjusts the specific allowance associated with that individual loan accordingly.

If a substandard or doubtful loan is not considered individually for impairment, it is grouped with other loans that possess common characteristics for impairment evaluation and analysis. This segmentation is accomplished by grouping loans of similar product types, risk characteristics and industry concentration into homogeneous pools. Historical loss ratios are analyzed and adjusted based on delinquency trends as well as the current economic, political, regulatory and interest rate environment and used to estimate the current measure of impairment.

The individual impairment measures along with the estimated loss for each homogeneous pool are consolidated into one summary document. This summary schedule along with the support documentation used to establish this schedule is presented to management’s Credit Committee on a quarterly basis. The Credit Committee reviews the processes and documentation presented, reviews the concentration of credit by industry and customer, lending products and activity, competition and collateral values, as well as economic conditions in general and in each of our market areas. Based on this review and discussion, the appropriate amount of ALL is estimated and any adjustments to reconcile the actual ALL with this estimate are determined. In addition, the Credit Committee considers if any changes to the methodology are needed. The Credit Committee also reviews and discusses delinquency trends, nonperforming asset amounts and ALL levels and ratios compared to our peer group as well as state and national statistics. Similarly, following the Credit Committee’s review and approval, a review is performed by the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

In addition to the reviews by management’s Credit Committee and the Board of Directors’ Risk Management Committee, regulators from either the FDIC or the Pennsylvania Department of Banking perform an extensive review on an annual basis for the adequacy of the ALL and its conformity with regulatory guidelines and pronouncements. Any recommendations or enhancements from these

Table of Contents

independent parties are considered by management and the Credit Committee and implemented accordingly.

We acknowledge that this is a dynamic process and consists of factors, many of which are external and out of our control that can change often, rapidly and substantially. The adequacy of the ALL is based upon estimates using all the information previously discussed as well as current and known circumstances and events. There is no assurance that actual portfolio losses will not be substantially different than those that were estimated.

We utilize a consistent methodology each period when analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the related provision for loan losses. As part of the analysis as of June 30, 2014, we considered the economic conditions in our markets, such as unemployment and bankruptcy levels as well as changes in real estate collateral values. In addition, we considered the overall trends in asset quality, specific reserves already established for criticized loans, historical loss rates and collateral valuations. As a result of this analysis, the allowance for loan losses increased by $94,000, or 0.1%, to $71.4 million, or 1.21% of total loans, at June 30, 2014 from $71.3 million, or 1.23% of total loans, at December 31, 2013. This increase is primarily attributable to seven business banking loans requiring additional reserves totaling $12.2 million. Partially offsetting these factors was the continued improvement in overall asset quality as classified loans, TDRs and non-accrual loans delinquent 90 days or more decreased by $26.1 million, $15.4 million and $6.5 million, respectively, compared to December 31, 2013.

We also consider how the level of non-accrual loans and historical charge-offs have influenced the required amount of allowance for loan losses. Non-accrual loans of $96.8 million or 1.64% of total loans receivable, at June 30, 2014 decreased by $10.4 million, or 9.8%, from $107.2 million, or 1.85% of total loans receivable, at December 31, 2013. As a percentage of average loans, annualized net charge-offs increased to 0.54% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 0.36% for the year ended December 31, 2013, as the result of the charge-off of two commercial loans totaling $8.1 million.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $12.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, a decrease of $763,000, or 5.7%, from $13.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in net income resulted from a decrease in net interest income of $1.2 million, or 1.9%, and increases in the provision for loan losses of $2.9 million, or 53.3% and in noninterest expense of $1.0 million, or 1.9%. Partially offsetting these factors was an increase in noninterest income of $3.7 million, or 27.7%, and a decrease in income tax expense of $586,000, or 11.6%. Annualized, net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 represents a 4.77% and 0.64% return on average equity and return on average assets, respectively, compared to 4.79% and 0.68% for the same quarter last year. A discussion of significant changes follows.

Interest Income

Total interest income decreased by $2.4 million, or 3.0%, to $76.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to a decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets to 4.17% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 4.23% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The average yield on all categories of interest earning assets decreased when compared to the prior year period, with the exception of Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh stock (“FHLB”) and other interest earning deposits. Additionally, the average balance of interest earning assets decreased by $33.9 million, or 0.5%, to $7.410 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $7.444 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Interest income on loans receivable decreased by $1.2 million, or 1.7%, to $70.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from to $72.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease in interest income on loans receivable can be attributed to a decline in the average yield which decreased to

Table of Contents

4.87% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 5.12% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The continued decline in average yield is due primarily to the historically low level of market interest rates in general and continued competitive pricing pressure for new, as well as existing, credit relationships. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in the average balance of loans receivable which increased by $209.8 million, or 3.7%, to $5.834 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $5.624 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase is due to continued success in increasing market share and the retention of most of the residential mortgage loans originated by our wholesale lending function rather than selling a portion of these originations in the secondary market.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $642,000, or 19.4%, to $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease is the result of decreases in both the average balance and average yield. The average balance of mortgage-backed securities decreased by $125.5 million, or 17.3%, to $601.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $726.6 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to redirecting cash flows from these securities to fund loan growth as well as the payment of cash dividends. The average yield on mortgage-backed securities decreased to 1.77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 1.82% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in average yield resulted primarily from the purchase of mortgage-backed securities at generally lower interest rates than the existing portfolio.

Interest income on investment securities decreased by $516,000, or 16.5%, to $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $3.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease is the result of decreases in both the average balance and average yield. The average balance of investment securities decreased by $24.5 million, or 4.6%, to $507.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $531.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease is due primarily to the maturity or call of municipal and government bonds and the use of these proceeds to fund loan growth. The average yield of investment securities decreased to 2.06% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 2.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease is primarily the result of higher rate, tax-free, municipal securities maturing or being called and being replaced by lower yielding, shorter duration government agency securities.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014 we received dividends on FHLB stock of $697,000 on an average balance of $43.9 million, resulting in a yield of 6.34%, compared to dividends of $34,000 on an average balance of $48.1 million, resulting in a yield of 0.28% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. As a result of the improved financial condition of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, they have been able to increase their dividends to member financial institutions. These dividends are reported as other operating income on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Interest income on interest-earning deposits decreased by $54,000, or 15.9%, to $286,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $340,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease is due to a decrease in the average balance which decreased by $89.5 million, or 17.4%, to $424.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $513.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, due to the utilization of cash to fund loan growth and the payment of dividends over the past year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $1.2 million, or 7.9%, to $14.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $15.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased to 0.97% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 1.04% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as well as a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased by $73.4 million, or 1.2%, to $5.892 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $5.966 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the

Table of Contents

cost of funds resulted primarily from the current level of market interest rates which enabled us to reduce the rate of interest paid on time deposit products. Also contributing to the decrease was the maturity of an interest rate swap used to hedge the interest rate on our junior subordinated debentures. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted from a reduction in average time deposits of $192.5 million, or 10.7%, compared to last year, as consumers continue to shift investment priorities to shorter duration or demand products as well as to utilize funds for living expenses. The decrease in time deposits was partially offset by a combined increase in the average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits and money market deposit accounts of $113.0 million, or 3.5%, compared to the average balance for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased by $1.2 million, or 1.9%, to $62.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $63.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease is attributable to the factors discussed above. Loan growth enabled us to redirect cash flows from lower yielding securities which helped offset overall lower market interest rates and maintain our net interest spread and margin. Our net interest rate spread increased to 3.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 3.19% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and our net interest margin decreased just one basis point to 3.39% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 3.40% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased by $2.9 million, or 53.3%, to $8.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase is due primarily to six business banking loans requiring combined provisions of $5.9 million during the 2014 period. Improvements in overall asset quality helped to mitigate these increases as classified loans decreased by $19.8 million, or 8.6%, to $210.7 million at June 30, 2014 from $230.5 million at June 30, 2013. In addition, TDRs decreased by $22.7 million, or 26.3%, to $63.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $86.5 million at June 30, 2013 and loans 90 days or more delinquent decreased by $12.2 million, or 19.3%, to $51.3 million at June 30, 2014 from $63.5 million at June 30, 2013.

In determining the amount of the current period provision, we considered current economic conditions, including unemployment levels and bankruptcy filings, and changes in real estate values and the impact of these factors on the quality of our loan portfolio and historical loss factors. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 were $13.1 million compared to $4.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, however it was the result of the charge-off of just two commercial loans totaling $8.1 million. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans increased to 0.90% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 0.34% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. We analyze the allowance for loan losses as described in the section entitled “Allowance for Loan Losses.” The provision that is recorded is sufficient, in our judgment, to bring this reserve to a level that reflects the losses inherent in our loan portfolio relative to loan mix, economic conditions and historical loss experience.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased by $3.7 million, or 27.7%, to $17.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $13.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to a decrease in loss on real estate owned and increases in trust and other financial services income as well as other operating income. Loss on real estate owned decreased by $1.7 million, or 75.4%, to $562,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $2.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as a result of a write-down of our largest REO property during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Trust and other financial services income increased by $792,000, or 35.0% to $3.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $2.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase is due to our acquisition of Evans Capital Management, Inc. as of January 1, 2014 as well as increases in the amount of assets under management.

Other operating income increased by $823,000, or 95.1%, to $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $865,000 for the quarter ended June, 2013, due primarily to the increase in dividends received on FHLB stock.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased by $1.0 million, or 1.9%, to $53.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $52.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase is primarily the result of increases in marketing expenses, professional services and compensation and employee benefits. Marketing expenses increased by $838,000, or 40.0%, to $2.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase is primarily the result of ongoing loan and demand deposit marketing campaigns as well as the promotion of our recent awards from J.D. Power & Associates, Forbes and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods. Professional services increased by $576,000, or 48.0%, to $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, due primarily to consulting engagements to continued enhancement of our regulatory compliance management system. Compensation and employee benefits increased by $387,000, or 1.4% to $28.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $28.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase is primarily the result of our acquisition of Evans Capital Management, Inc. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in processing expenses of $751,000, or 10.2%, to $6.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $7.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to the timing of software and infrastructure upgrades.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased by $586,000, or 11.6%, to $4.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $5.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease in income tax expense is primarily a result of the decrease in income before income taxes of $1.3 million, or 7.3%. In addition, the $1.00 per share special dividend paid on May 15, 2014 is deductible on the Company’s common stock held in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan and 401(k) plan. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was 26.0% compared to 27.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. We anticipate our effective tax rate to be between 26.0% and 27.0% for the year.

Comparison of operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $27.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 4.9%, from $28.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the same period last year. The decrease in net income resulted primarily from a decrease in net interest income of $4.3 million as well as an increase in the provision for loan losses of $3.2 million and an increase in the noninterest expense of $2.7 million. These changes were partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $7.0 million and a decrease in income tax expense of $1.8 million. Annualized, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 represents a 4.97% and 0.70% return on average equity and return on average assets, respectively, compared to 5.12% and 0.73% for the same period last year. A discussion of significant changes follows.

Interest Income

Total interest income decreased by $6.9 million, or 4.4%, to $151.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $158.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, due to both a decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets and a slight decrease in the average balance of interest earning assets. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased to 4.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 4.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The average yield on all categories of interest earning assets decreased compared to the same period last year with the exception of interest-earning deposits and dividends on FHLB stock. Average interest earning assets decreased by $2.4 million to

$7.361 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $7.363 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Interest income on loans receivable decreased by $4.8 million, or 3.3%, to $140.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $145.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The average yield on loans receivable decreased to 4.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 5.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in average yield is primarily attributable to the origination of new loans and rate reductions for existing variable rate loans in this historically low interest rate and highly competitive environment. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $197.4 million, or 3.5%, to $5.829 billion at June 30, 2014 from $5.631 billion at June 30, 2013. This increase is primarily attributable to our continued emphasis on building business banking loan relationships.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $1.2 million, or 19.1%, to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease is the result of decreases in both the average balance and average yield. The average balance of mortgage-backed securities decreased by $115.0 million, or 15.8%, to $611.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $726.1 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to redirecting cash flows to fund loan growth and the payment of dividends. The average yield on mortgage-backed securities decreased to 1.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 1.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in average yield resulted from the purchase of mortgage-backed securities during this period of historically low market interest rates.

Interest income on investment securities decreased by $749,000, or 12.3%, to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was the result of a decrease in the average yield on investment securities to 2.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 2.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as a result of higher rate municipal bonds maturing or being called and replaced with lower yielding shorter duration government agency bonds. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in the average balance of investment securities of $6.4 million, or 1.3%, to $507.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $500.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, due to deploying excess cash flow in a manner to minimize net interest margin compression and extension risk.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 we received dividends on FHLB stock of $973,000 on an average balance of $43.8 million, resulting in a yield of 4.44%, compared to dividends of $71,000 on an average balance of $47.5 million, resulting in a yield of 0.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These dividends are reported as other operating income on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Interest income on interest-earning deposits decreased by $105,000, or 17.8%, to $486,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $591,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease is due to the average balance decreasing by $87.6 million, or 19.1%, to $370.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $457.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The average balance decreased due to common stock dividend payments and loan growth. The average yield on interest-earning deposits remained unchanged at 0.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $2.7 million, or 8.6%, to $28.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $72.3 million, or 1.2%, to $5.878

Table of Contents

billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $5.950 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by eight basis points to 0.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 1.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in interest-bearing liabilities is the result of a decrease in the average balance of time deposits of $198.5 million, or 10.9%, as we believe consumers continue to prefer more liquid deposit accounts as protection against possible higher interest rates in the future. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase of $109.3 million, or 3.5% in all other deposit products. The decrease in the cost of funds was due primarily to a reduction in the rates paid on all deposit products and the maturity of an interest rate swap on our junior subordinated debentures.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased by $4.3 million, or 3.4%, to $123.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $127.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease in net interest income was attributable to the factors discussed above. Our net interest rate spread decreased to 3.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 3.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and our net interest margin decreased to 3.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 3.46% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased by $3.2 million, or 25.5%, to $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase is due primarily to seven business banking loans requiring combined provisions of $12.2 million during the 2014 period. Improvements in overall asset quality partially offset these increases. Classified loans decreased by $19.8 million, or 8.6%, to $210.7 million at June 30, 2014 from $230.5 million at June 30, 2013. In addition, total nonaccrual loans decreased by $23.8 million, or 19.7%, to $96.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $120.6 million at June 30, 2013 and loans 90 days or more delinquent decreased by $12.2 million, or 19.3%, to $51.3 million at June 30, 2014 from $63.5 million at June 30, 2013.

In determining the amount of the current period provision, we considered current economic conditions, including unemployment levels and bankruptcy filings, and changes in real estate values and the impact of these factors on the quality of our loan portfolio and historical loss factors. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $15.7 million compared to $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans increased to 0.54% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. We analyze the allowance for loan losses as described in the section entitled “Allowance for Loan Losses.” The provision that is recorded is sufficient, in our judgment, to bring this reserve to a level that reflects the losses inherent in our loan portfolio relative to loan mix, economic conditions and historical loss experience.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased by $7.0 million, or 23.5%, to $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in gain on sale of investments and trust and other financial services income and a decrease in loss on real estate owned. Gain on sale of investments increased by $3.6 million to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $120,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, due to the sale of equity securities during the current year. Trust and other financial services income increased by $1.6 million, or 36.6% to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase is due to our acquisition of Evans Capital Management, Inc. as of January 1, 2014 as well as increases in the amount of assets under management. Loss on real estate owned decreased by $1.7 million, or 71.1%, to $697,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as a result of a write-down of our largest REO property

during 2013. Partially offsetting these favorable variances was a decrease in mortgage banking income of $678,000, or 56.9%, to $514,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease resulted from fewer sales of residential mortgage loans into the secondary market during the current year compared to the same period last year.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased by $2.7 million, or 2.6%, to $107.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $104.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase is primarily the result of increases in professional services, marketing expenses, office operations and compensation and employee benefits. Professional services increased by $954,000, or 32.7%, to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, due primarily to consulting engagements to test and refine our regulatory compliance management system. Marketing expenses increased by $575,000, or 14.4%, to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase is primarily the result of loan and demand deposit marketing campaigns which started during March 2014. Office operations increased by $491,000, or 6.9%, to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, due primarily to increased collections costs. Compensation and employee benefits increased by $429,000, or 0.8% to $56.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $56.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase is primarily the result of our acquisition of Evans Capital Management, Inc. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums of $227,000, or 7.9%, to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased by $1.8 million, or 15.3%, to $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease in income tax expense is primarily a result of the decrease in income before income taxes of $3.2 million, or 7.9%. In addition, the $1.00 per share special dividend paid on May 15, 2014 is deductible on the Company’s common stock held in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan and 401(k) plan. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 26.2% compared to 28.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. We anticipate our effective tax rate to be between 26.0% and 27.0% for the year.

(e) Average balances include FHLB borrowings and collateralized borrowings.

(f) Annualized. Shown on a fully tax-equivalent basis (“FTE”). The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory rate of 35% for each period presented. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts. GAAP basis yields were: Loans – 4.85% and 5.15%, respectively; Investment securities – 2.11% and 2.43%, respectively; interest-earning assets – 4.17% and 4.30%, respectively. GAAP basis net interest rate spreads were 3.20% and 3.25%, respectively; and GAAP basis net interest margins were 3.37% and 3.46%, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As the holding company for a savings bank, one of our primary market risks is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of net interest income to variations in interest rates over a specified time period. The sensitivity results from differences in the time periods in which interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities mature or re-price. We attempt to control interest rate risk by matching, within acceptable limits, the re-pricing periods of assets and liabilities. We have attempted to limit our exposure to interest sensitivity by increasing core deposits, enticing customers to extend certificates of deposit maturities, borrowing funds with fixed-rates and longer maturities and by shortening the maturities of our assets by emphasizing the origination of more short-term fixed rate loans and adjustable rate loans. We also continue to sell a portion of the long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans that we originate. In addition, we purchase shorter term or adjustable-rate investment securities and mortgage-backed securities.

We have an Asset/ Liability Committee consisting of several members of management which meets monthly to review market interest rates, economic conditions, the pricing of interest-earning assets and

interest-bearing liabilities and the balance sheet structure. On a quarterly basis, this Committee also reviews the interest rate risk position and cash flow projections.

The Board of Directors has a Risk Management Committee which meets quarterly and reviews interest rate risk and trends, our interest sensitivity position, the liquidity position and the market risk inherent in the investment portfolio.

In an effort to assess interest rate risk and market risk, we utilize a simulation model to determine the effect of immediate incremental increases and decreases in interest rates on net income and the market value of equity. Certain assumptions are made regarding loan prepayments and decay rates of savings and interest-bearing demand accounts. Because it is difficult to accurately project the market reaction of depositors and borrowers, the effect of actual changes in interest rates on these assumptions may differ from simulated results. We have established the following guidelines for assessing interest rate risk:

Net income simulation. Given a non-parallel shift of 100 basis points (“bps”), 200 bps and 300 bps in interest rates, the estimated net income may not decrease by more than 10%, 20% and 30%, respectively, within a one-year period.

Market value of equity simulation. The market value of equity is the present value of assets and liabilities. Given a non-parallel shift of 100 bps, 200 bps and 300 bps in interest rates, the market value of equity may not decrease by more than 15%, 30% and 35%, respectively, from the computed economic value at current interest rate levels.

The following table illustrates the simulated impact of a 100 bps, 200 bps or 300 bps upward or a 100 bps downward movement in interest rates on net income, return on average equity, earnings per share and market value of equity. This analysis was prepared assuming that interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability levels at June 30, 2014 remain constant. The impact of the rate movements was computed by simulating the effect of an immediate and sustained shift in interest rates over a twelve-month period from June 30, 2014 levels.

	Increase									Decrease
Non-parallel shift in interest rates over the next 12 months	100 bps			200 bps			300 bps			100 bps
Projected percentage increase/ (decrease) in net income	0.4		%	2.0		%	2.6		%	(12.6		)%
Projected increase/ (decrease) in return on average equity	0.5		%	2.0		%	2.5		%	(12.2		)%
Projected increase/ (decrease) in earnings per share	$	0.00		$	0.01		$	0.01		$	(0.08	)
Projected percentage increase/ (decrease) in market value of equity	(5.1		)%	(15.1		)%	(23.4		)%	(0.1		)%

The figures included in the table above represent projections that were computed based upon certain assumptions including prepayment rates and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates. Actual results may differ significantly due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the

Table of Contents

end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in the internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to a number of asserted and unasserted claims encountered in the normal course of business. We believe that any additional liability, other than that which has already been accrued, that may result from such potential litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements. However, we cannot presently determine whether or not any claims against us will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any future reporting period. See note 11.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are no material changes to the risk factors as previously discussed in Item 1A, to Part I of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
