Independent Auditor’s Report


Board of Directors
Traditions Bancorp, Inc.
York, Pennsylvania

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Traditions Bancorp, Inc. (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
2

image_3.jpg



assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Traditions Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies discussed below are followed by Traditions Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”). These policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to common practices in the banking industry.

Nature of Operations

Traditions Bank (the “Bank”) is a Pennsylvania-chartered commercial bank that is regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and was incorporated on March 14, 2002 and commenced operations on October 28, 2002 as York Traditions Bank. In June 2014, York Traditions Bank began trading its stock on the OTC Markets under the trading symbol YRKB.

On May 1, 2021, York Traditions Bank formed a holding company, Traditions Bancorp, Inc. All shareholders in York Traditions Bank received one share of the Company in exchange for each share in York Traditions Bank. Following the formation of Traditions Bancorp, Inc., the Bank’s name was changed to Traditions Bank. Traditions Bancorp, Inc. immediately began trading its stock on the OTC Markets under the symbol TRBK.

The Company owns 100% of the stock in Traditions Bank. Traditions Bank operates as a traditional community bank serving the Central Pennsylvania market with an emphasis on commercial and consumer banking.

On July 23, 2024, Traditions Bancorp, Inc. along with ACNB Corporation entered into a definitive merger agreement whereby ACNB will acquire Traditions Bancorp, Inc. and Traditions Bank in an all-stock transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement, Traditions shareholders will receive 0.7300 shares of ACNB common stock for each share of Traditions common stock that they own as of the closing date. The transaction is valued at $83.8 million based on the closing share price on January 31, 2025 of $41.10 plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The transaction closed on February 1, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 326: Financial Instrument – Credit Losses (ASC 326). On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326 which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held to maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees and other similar instruments. In addition, ASC 326 makes changes to the accounting for credit-related impairment of available-for-sale debt securities by eliminating other-than-temporary impairment charges. Following the expected loss model, credited-related losses on available-for-sale debt securities will be reflected as a valuation allowance for credit losses on those securities.

Accrued interest for all financial instruments is included in a separate line on the face of the Consolidate Balance Sheets. The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable and instead elected to reverse interest income on loans or securities that are placed on nonaccrual status, which is generally when the instrument is 90 days past due, or earlier if the Company believes the collection of interest is doubtful. The Company has concluded that this policy results in the timely reversal of uncollectible interest.

In adopting ASC 326, the Company utilized the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Accordingly, a cumulative effect transition adjustment was applied to the opening balance of retained earnings, effective January 1, 2023. The transition adjustment of the adoption of CECL included a decrease in the allowance for credit losses on loans of $3,812,000 and an increase in
10

Traditions Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $108,000 which resulted in a $2,926,000 after tax increase to retained earnings. The tax effect resulted in a $778,000 decrease to deferred tax assets. There are no credit losses in the available-for-sale security portfolio.

A summary of the financial statement impact upon adoption of ASC 326 is as follows (in thousands):

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the consolidated balance sheet date of December 31, 2024 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through February 25, 2025, the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses.

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s activities are with businesses and individuals throughout its market area, which consists of branch and loan origination offices in York, Lancaster and Dauphin Counties in Central Pennsylvania. The types of
11

Traditions Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
securities in the Company’s investment portfolio and the types of loans the Company makes to its customers are discussed later in Note 1.
The Company monitors potential concentrations of loans to particular borrowers or groups of borrowers, industries, and geographic regions. The Company also monitors exposures to credit risk that could arise from potential concentrations of lending products and practices such as loans that subject borrowers to substantial payment increases (e.g. principal deferral periods, loans with initial interest-only periods, etc.) and loans with high loan to value ratios. Additionally, there are industry practices that could subject the Company to increased credit risk should economic conditions change over the course of a loan’s life. For example, the Company makes variable rate loans and fixed rate principal-amortizing loans with maturities prior to the loan being fully paid (i.e. balloon payment loans). These loans are underwritten and monitored to manage the associated risks. The Company has determined that there is no concentration of credit risk associated with its lending policies or practices.

Presentation of Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold, and short-term investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less. Generally, federal funds are purchased or sold for one-day periods.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets have been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Whenever the requirements for sale treatment have not been met due to control over the transferred financial assets not being surrendered, the transferred loans will continue to be held as mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt, at fair value, and an associated liability is recorded in nonrecourse debt, at fair value, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with other banks, which includes restricted cash. Restricted cash includes cash balances provided as collateral on derivative contracts. The Company was not required to maintain restricted cash balances as collateral on derivative contracts on December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans held-for-sale consist of residential mortgages. All residential mortgages held-for-sale are sold with servicing released.

Fair Value Option

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 825-10 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and requires certain disclosures for items for which the fair value option is applied.

12

Traditions Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company records mortgage loans held-for-sale at fair value. The Company measures mortgage loans held-for-sale at fair value to more accurately reflect the performance of its entire mortgage banking activities in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative financial instruments related to these activities are also recorded at fair value, as detailed in Note 8, “Derivative Financial Instruments.” The Company determines fair value for its mortgage loans held-for-sale based on the price that secondary market investors would pay for loans with similar characteristics, including interest rate and term, as of the date fair value is measured. Changes in fair value during the period are recorded as components of gain on sale of loans on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Interest income earned on mortgage loans held-for-sale is classified within interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following presents a summary of the Company’s fair value elections and their impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Securities

The Company determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each consolidated balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, all debt securities in the portfolio are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income or loss. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method and recorded on the trade date in the noninterest income section of the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The investment portfolio is classified into the following major security types: U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency securities, State and municipal securities, Mortgage-backed securities, and Collateralized mortgage obligations.

All state and municipal securities undergo an initial and ongoing credit analysis. The analysis includes the review of various financial and demographic information. All municipal securities have a minimum evaluation rating of ”A” or higher.

All mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations held by the Company are guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, a U.S. government agency, or a government sponsored enterprise (GSEs) Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. These securities are explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government or guaranteed by the GSEs that have credit ratings and perceived credit risk comparable to the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies, and have a history of no credit losses.

For available-for-sale debt securities with an unrealized loss position, the Company will determine whether it has the intent to sell the debt security or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the debt security before

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
the recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value first through the reduction of any previously recognized allowance under CECL and then through a direct write down of the security through the Income Statement. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the criteria, the Company evaluates whether any decline in fair value is due to the credit loss factors. In making this assessment, management considers any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit loss is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for credit losses and any deferred fees and costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Company is amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan using a method that approximates the effective interest method.

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90-days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. A loan is considered to be past due when a scheduled payment has not been received 30 days after the contractual due date.

When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest is reversed against interest income. The amount of accrued interest reversed against interest income totaled $253,000 and $116,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time (generally six months) and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

The Company’s loan portfolio is segmented to an appropriate level of disaggregation to allow management to monitor the performance of the borrowers and measure credit risk. Segments are based on the underlying collateral types. For disclosure purposes, the Company does not differentiate between segments and classes. Loans secured by real estate may be made for commercial or consumer purposes.

The loans receivable portfolio is segmented into the following:

Commercial

Commercial loans may be secured or unsecured. Collateral often includes accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment. Repayment is dependent on the successful operation of the borrower’s business and is often susceptible to higher risk during an economic downturn. Commercial loans generally have greater credit risk compared to residential real estate and consumer loans, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.

14

Traditions Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Construction and Land Development

Construction and land development loans generally carry greater credit risk as payment expectations are dependent upon the successful and timely completion of the construction, sales of the subject property, and the operation of the related business. As a result, such loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.

Farmland and Residential Real Estate

Loans secured by farmland and 1-4 family residential properties have risks depending on the underlying purpose. Loans for consumer purposes are dependent on the creditworthiness of the individual borrower. Loans for a commercial purpose may be dependent on the borrower’s ability to generate a sufficient level of occupancy to produce sufficient rental income or may be dependent on the successful operation of the borrower’s business. The Company requires a maximum loan to value on these loans depending on the collateral type. The loan to value ratio ranges from 90% for a primary residence 1-4 family residential property to 50% for raw farmland.

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate loans secured by nonfarm nonresidential real estate can be owner- or non-owner-occupied. Commercial real estate loans generally have greater credit risk as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Multi-family and non-owner-occupied share similar risk characteristics as repayment is based on occupancy levels and cash flows. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are required to maintain a 75% loan to value ratio and a debt service coverage ratio of 1.2 – 1.4 times depending on collateral type. Owner-occupied nonfarm, nonresidential real estate is dependent on the successful operation of the borrower’s business and requires a loan to value ratio of 80% and a debt service coverage ratio of 1.2 times.

Consumer

Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured. Collateral may include autos, cash, or marketable securities. Such loans generally have smaller balances and are dependent on the creditworthiness of the borrower and their personal financial stability.

The allowance for credit losses is established through provisions for credit losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The Company has elected to not estimate an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable, as it already has a policy in place to reverse or write-off accrued interest in a timely manner.

The estimate of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about historical events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. The Company uses current loan data and loss history, peer bank loss history, calculates the weighted average remaining maturity in each loan category, and plots peer history against various leading economic indicators to provide a forward-looking feature. The Company then takes that information, adds an additional allowance based on custom qualitative factors and specific reserves tied to collateral dependent loans to calculate its allowance for credit losses.

The historical loss rate for the loan portfolio is determined by pooling loans into segments previously noted, which groups loans sharing similar risk characteristics and tracking historical net charge offs to calculate the historical loss rate. The Company has little historical losses relative to peer banks over its history, so the decision was made to use a weighted average for historical losses with Company losses weighted 75% and peer bank losses weighted 25%.

15

Traditions Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company also incorporates a reasonable and supportable loss forecast period to account for the effect of forecasted economic conditions and other factors on the performance of the loan portfolio which could differ from historical loss experience.  Forward looking adjustments considers the macro-economic indicator for each loan pool that most closely resembles historical losses for the respective pool. The forecasted losses for each pool are adjusted for a period up to two years depending on the lag period that applies to the corresponding economic indicator.  The Company generally utilizes a forecast period ranging over 12 - 24 months. For the contractual term that extends beyond the forecast period, the Company immediately reverts to historical loss rates for the respective pool.  

The Company uses several qualitative factors to supplement the other elements of its allowance for credit losses calculation under CECL. These qualitative factors are intended to estimate losses that differ from actual historical loss experience. Relevant factors included, but are not limited to, economic trends and conditions such as regional unemployment, experience and depth of lending staff, trends in delinquencies, trends in collateral values, and results of loan reviews and loan-related audits. Although the estimation of credit losses can be somewhat subjective, the application of such qualitative factors must be reasonable and supportable.

Under the CECL methodology, collateral dependent loans are those loans that are non-accruing and on which the borrowers cannot demonstrate the ability to make and are not making regularly scheduled loan payments, thereby making repayment of the loan dependent upon the operation or sale of the collateral securing the loan. Collateral dependent loans are evaluated individually as they do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans and are removed from their respective homogeneous pools.  Under CECL, for collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral.

The Company's policy is to obtain third-party appraisals on any significant pieces of collateral held on collateral dependent loans. For such loans secured by real estate, the Company's policy is to estimate the allowance by discounting the appraised value by 30%, which considers estimated selling costs and additional discounts estimated to be incurred in a sale. For real estate collateral that is considered special- or limited-purpose or in industries that are undergoing heightened stress, the Company may further discount the collateral values. For non-real estate collateral secured loans, the Company generally discounts values by 20%-40% depending on the nature and marketability of the collateral. This provides for selling costs and liquidity discounts that are usually incurred when disposing of non-real estate collateral.

Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may include interest rate reductions, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearances, term extensions, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for lending-related commitments such as unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for lending-related commitments on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit losses. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for credit losses on loans and discussed previously in Note 1. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $118,000 and $162,000 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within other liabilities.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives and amortization of leasehold improvements is computed

Investment in Restricted Bank Stocks

Investment in restricted bank stocks, which represent required investments in the common stock of correspondent banks, is carried at cost and consists of the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) of $3,286,000 and $3,032,000 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and Atlantic Community Bancshares, Inc. of $40,000 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Company invests in bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) as a source of funding for employee benefit expenses. BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Company on a chosen group of employees. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. This life insurance investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies and reported in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Income from the increase in the cash surrender value of the policies is included with noninterest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value on a gross basis in other assets and/or other liabilities. The accounting for changes in value of a derivative depends on the type of hedge and on whether or not the transaction has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are reported and measured at fair value through earnings in noninterest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Company enters into commitments to originate certain fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans for customers, also referred to as interest rate locks. In addition, the Company enters into forward commitments for the future sales or purchases of mortgage-backed securities to or from third-party counterparties to hedge the effect of changes in interest rates on the values of both the interest rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale. Forward sales commitments may also be in the form of commitments to sell individual mortgage loans at a price at a future date. Both the interest rate locks and the forward commitments are accounted for as derivatives and carried at fair value, determined as the amount that would be necessary to settle each derivative financial instrument at the reporting date. Gross derivative assets and liabilities are recorded within other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in fair value during the period recorded within gain on sale of loans on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Company simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest, and the Company receives a floating rate. The Company’s interest rate swaps are used to facilitate risk management strategies for our loan customers. Due to the nature of the terms of the interest rate swaps, the changes in fair value generally offset. There are inherently differences in credit risk within these
17

Traditions Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
offsetting interest rate swaps; however, the resultant impact is immaterial. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, none of the Company’s interest rate swap derivatives are designated as hedges.

Advertising Costs

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $189,000 and $395,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Per Share Data

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net income, less income allocated to participating securities, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units. For the Company, participating securities are comprised of unvested shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net income available to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued, as well as any adjustments to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. All share and per share amounts are adjusted for stock dividends that are declared prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 718-10 to account for its stock compensation plans. This guidance requires an entity to recognize the expense of employee services received in share-based payment transactions and measure the expense based on the grant date fair value of the award. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company’s policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur. In accordance with the plan agreements, the signing of the definitive
18

Traditions Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
agreement with ACNB in July 2024 caused all instruments to fully vest and recognize all unamortized expense through merger expenses on the Income Statement.

Income Taxes

Income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the asset and liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50%; the term sustained upon examination also includes resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. There were no interest and penalties in 2024 and 2023. With limited exception, tax years prior to 2021 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when they are funded.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, are reported as a separate component of the shareholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income (loss).

Leases

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception, and leases are classified as either operating or finance leases at the lease commencement date. An arrangement contains a lease if it implicitly or explicitly identifies an asset to be used and conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset in exchange for consideration. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are included in other assets and lease
19

Traditions Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
liabilities are included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized upon commencement of the lease based on the present value of the lease payment over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for fully collateralized and fully amortizing borrowings over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. When readily determinable, we use the implicit rate. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases and short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Expenses associated with operating leases are included in noninterest expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income. Short-term leases with a term of 12 months or less are not capitalized. Payments made on operating leases are classified within operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had 137 securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more and 10 securities in an unrealized loss position less than 12 months, none of which exceeded 25.83% of the security’s carrying amount. At December 31, 2023, the Company had 146 securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more and 8 securities in an unrealized loss position less than 12 months, none of which exceeded 24.68% of the security’s carrying amount.

All of the securities that were in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2024 and 2023, are bonds the Company has determined are in a loss position due primarily to interest rate factors and not credit quality concerns. In management’s opinion, based on third party credit ratings and the amount of the impairment, credit risk for these securities is minimal. Management has the intent and ability to hold debt securities until recovery and does not believe it will have to sell the securities prior to recovery.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no allowance for credit losses related to the available-for-sale portfolio. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $313,000 and $308,000 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

There is no interest income recognized during the period a loan is on nonaccrual status. The Company follows its nonaccrual policy of reversing contractual interest income in the income statement when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. The Company did not recognize interest income on nonaccrual loans during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Residential real estate mortgages totaling $861,000 and $1,033,000 were in the process of foreclosure as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were no residential real estate mortgages in foreclosed real estate at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Collateral -Dependent Loans

The Company identifies loans in which the borrower cannot demonstrate the ability to make regularly scheduled payments and the repayment of the loan is dependent upon the operation or sale of the collateral of the loan. These collateral dependent loans are evaluated individually for allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral. The Company believes that there is no significant over-coverage of collateral for any of the loans noted below.

Loan Modifications

The Company closely monitors the performance of all loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to better understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. These modifications may or may not extend the term of the loan, provide for an adjustment to the interest rate, lower the payment amount, or otherwise delay payments during a defined period for the purpose of providing borrowers additional time to return to compliance with the original loan terms.

Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has substantially been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

There were no payment defaults during the year ended December 31, 2024 for loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company monitors ongoing risk for loans with a commercial purpose using a nine-point internal grading system. The first five rating categories, representing the lowest risk to the Company, are combined and given a Pass rating. The Special Mention category includes loans that have potential weaknesses that may, if not monitored or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s position at some future date. These assets pose elevated risk, but their weakness does not justify a more severe, or criticized rating.

Management generally follows regulatory definitions in assigning criticized ratings to loans, including substandard, doubtful, or loss. Substandard loans are classified as they have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Substandard loans include loans that management has determined are not adequately protected by current cash flows or net worth of the borrower. A doubtful loan has the same weaknesses as a substandard loan, however, collection or liquidation of principal in full is questionable and improbable. For doubtful loans, loss is present but may not be determined until specific factors occur. Loss assets are considered uncollectible, as the underlying borrowers are often in bankruptcy, have suspended debt repayments, or ceased business operations. Once a loan is classified as Loss, there is little prospect of collecting the loan’s principal or interest and it is generally written off.
Loans with a consumer purpose, which also includes certain commercial loans, construction and land development loans, and residential loans, are not-rated and are monitored based on the length of time a loan is past due. Not-rated loans are categorized as either Performing or Non-performing. Non-performing loans would be those in non-accrual status, which generally occurs when a loan is maintained on a cash basis due to deterioration in the financial

condition of the borrower, full payment of principal or interest is not expected, or principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more.

The Company’s Senior Credit Committee, which meets weekly, monitors loan quality on an ongoing basis. The Credit Review Committee meets quarterly and reviews the ratings of all criticized loans. In addition, an independent third-party performs a semi-annual loan review. The review focuses on a sample of business purpose loans, and all previously criticized loans over a certain dollar threshold.

12.     Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on our credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies but may include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and real estate.

The following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include personal or commercial real estate, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.

Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The majority of these standby letters of credit expire within the next twelve months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company requires collateral supporting these letters of credit as deemed necessary. Management believes that the proceeds through a liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The amount of the liability as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 for guarantees under standby letters of credit is not material.

The Company is not involved in any legal proceedings which, in management’s opinion, could have a material effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit loss for unfunded loan commitments which is included in the balance of other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for credit loss for unfunded loan commitments is determined as part of the monthly allowance for credit loss analysis. See Note 1 and Note 3 for further detail.

13.     Employee Benefit Plan

The Company provides a retirement plan which includes a defined contribution 401K retirement plan and a profit sharing plan that covers eligible employees. The Company’s matching contribution for the 401K retirement plan is 100% of each participant’s elective contribution up to 2% of employee compensation. The Company may, in its sole discretion, make an additional profit sharing contribution to the 401K retirement plan. Contributions will be allocated in an amount designated by the Company based on annual financial performance. The expense of this plan included in salaries and employee benefits was $221,000 and $466,000 in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

14.     Stock-Based Compensation Plans

On December 20, 2021, the Board of Directors adopted the 2021 Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan (2021 Directors Plan). The 2021 Directors Plan replaces the 2012 Directors Plan, which expired in 2022. The 2021 Directors Plan allows grants of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock and deferred stock units. 150,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the plan. A Non-Employee Director Compensation Program was established and put under the auspices of the Compensation Committee. Compensation is paid in restricted stock or cash at the discretion of the individual director. The current annual compensation for all Non-Employee Directors is as follows:

Board Member - $12,000 annual retainer and $750 per board meeting attended;
Committee Chair - $6,000 annual retainer for Loan Committee and Audit Committee, and $3,000 annual retainer for all other committees;
Non-Chair Committee Members - $5,000 annual retainer for Loan Committee members and $2,000 annual retainer for all other committee members; and
Lead Independent Director - $8,000 annual retainer.
Enterprise Risk Management Committee Board Representative - $3,000 annual retainer.

In addition, each Non-Employee Director receives an annual $8,000 equity award payable in arrears.

Under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, employees are eligible to receive options to purchase shares of common stock at the fair value on the date the option is granted. Each grant, including those granted in 2023 and 2022, vests over a three-year period and will expire no later than 10 years from the date of the grant. The Company issues shares from its authorized, but unissued, common stock when options are exercised.

The 2016 Stock Incentive Plan also provides for stock-based incentives in the form of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and deferred stock awards up to 137,500 shares. The Company uses the fair value of the stock on the date of award to measure compensation cost for restricted stock unit awards. Compensation cost on restricted stock, restricted stock units, and deferred awards is recognized over the vesting period of the award using the straight-line method.


There were no stock option grants in 2024. The weighted average grant date calculated fair value of options granted in 2023 was $4.83. The calculated value of the options awarded under the option plans is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is dependent upon certain assumptions as presented below:

The expected life of the options was estimated using the average vesting period of the options granted and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury rate commensurate with the expected life of the options on the grant date. Volatility of the Company’s stock price in 2023 was based on its trading on the OTC Markets for the respective expected life of the award granted. Historical volatility of the NASDAQ Bank Index was used for previous years. Compensation cost on options is also recognized over the vesting period of the award using the straight-line method.

15.    Employment Agreements

The Company entered into a three-year employment agreement on December 30, 2016 with Eugene J. Draganosky as Chief Executive Officer, which includes minimum annual salary commitments and change of control provisions. The agreement contains rolling-term options to renew for additional one-year periods. On January 1, 2018, Mr. Draganosky’s agreement was amended to include an automobile allowance. A new agreement, restating and replacing the prior agreement was entered into on January 1, 2023. The three-year agreement contains annual rolling term options extending the agreement for three years from the option date. On September 14, 2022, the Company entered into a similar agreement with Thomas J. Sposito II, who succeeded Mr. Draganosky as President. The agreement is for one-year with annual one-year renewals. On March 1, 2024, Mr. Sposito’s agreement was amended to two years with two-year annual rolling renewals. Additionally, the Company has entered into change of control agreements with seven other executive officers. Upon resignation after a change in the control of the Company, as defined in the agreement, the individuals will receive monetary compensation in the amount set forth in the agreements, subject to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.

16.    Salary Continuation Plan

The Company entered into salary continuation agreements with its former Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer in 2012. This is an unfunded plan that provides for target retirement benefits beginning at age 65. The agreements also provide for benefits in the event of early retirement, disability, death during active service or change in control of the Company. In 2021, a salary continuation agreement was entered into with the current Chief Executive Officer. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s total accrued liability under these agreements was $673,000 and $585,000, respectively. Total expense related to this plan as provided for in these agreements amounted to $118,000 and $115,000 for the years 2024 and 2023, respectively.

17.    Regulatory Matters

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by bank regulators. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s
47

Traditions Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Traditions Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors.

The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules requires the Company and the Bank to:

Meet a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.50% of risk-weighted assets and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.00% of risk-weighted assets;

Meet a minimum total capital ratio of 8.00% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.00% of average assets;

Maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% above the minimum risk-based capital requirement to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments; and

Comply with a revised definition of capital to improve the ability of regulatory capital instruments to absorb losses. Certain non-qualifying capital instruments, including cumulative preferred stock and trust preferred securities, are excluded as a component of Tier 1 capital for institutions of the Company’s size.

The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules use a standardized approach for risk weightings that expands the risk-weightings for assets and off-balance sheet exposures from the previous 0%, 20%, 50% and 100% categories to a much larger and more risk-sensitive number of categories, depending on the nature of the assets and off-balance sheet exposures and resulting in higher risk weights for a variety of asset categories.

As of December 31, 2024, Traditions Bank met the applicable minimum requirements of the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules, and each of the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the amounts required to be considered “well capitalized” as defined in the regulations. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s and the Bank’s capital levels met the fully-phased in minimum capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffers.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
18.    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective reporting dates and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end.

FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820-10 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.

FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or transfer the liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

FASB ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820-10 are as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(1)It is the Company’s policy to estimate the allowance by discounting the appraised value 30%. However, this liquidation value may be further reduced by the unpaid principal of loans with primary collateral rights thus increasing the range beyond 30% based on the relative fair value of the unpaid principal balance. There were no loans individually evaluated using the present value of cash flow in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities at December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Securities Available-for-Sale (Carried at Fair Value)

Fair values for securities available-for-sale were based upon a market approach. Securities that are debenture bonds and pass through mortgage-backed investments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets, were obtained through third-party data service providers who use matrix pricing on similar securities. The Company compares evaluations provided by more than one service provider to judge the adequacy of the estimated fair value.

Traditions Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Loans Held-for-Sale (Carried at Fair Value)

The fair value of loans held-for-sale is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices. If no such quotes prices exist, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar loan or loans, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan.

Individually Evaluated Loans

Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Non-recurring adjustments can also include certain allocated amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is typically valued using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace. However, the choice of observable data is subject to significant judgment, and there are often adjustments based on judgment in order to make observable data comparable and to consider the impact of time, the condition of properties, interest rates, and other market factors on current values. Additionally, commercial real estate appraisals frequently involve discounting of projected cash flows, which relies inherently on unobservable data. Therefore, non-recurring fair value measurement adjustments relating to real estate collateral have generally been classified as Level 3. Estimates of fair value for other collateral supporting commercial loans are generally based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3.

Derivative Financial Instruments (Carried at Fair Value)

Derivative financial instruments include interest rate locks, forward sales commitments to sell mortgage loans, and interest rate swaps. The fair value of interest rate locks is based on the fair value of the forward sales commitments for those loans, adjusted for loans that are not expected to close. The fair value of forward sales commitments is based on quoted prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics. The fair value of interest rate swaps is based upon broker quotes.

19. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

All of the Company’s revenues that are in the scope of the “Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ accounting standard (ASC 606) are recognized within noninterest income. ASC 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as gains on third party mortgage sales, derivatives, and bank owned life insurance are not in scope of the guidance. ASC 606 applicable noninterest revenue streams such as deposit related fees, interchange fees, and referral fees for merchant services, credit cards, and asset management are recognized when the Company’s performance obligations have been satisfied, either on an individual transaction basis such as service charges on deposits, or ratably over a period of time such as asset management referral fees. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of ASC 606 are discussed below.

Service Charges on Deposits

Service charges on deposits consist of cash management fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, overdraft and insufficient fund fees, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Overdraft and insufficient fund fees and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposits is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.
Electronic Banking Income

Electronic banking income is primarily comprised of debit card income, ATM fees, merchant card processor referrals, and other service charges. Debit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit cards are processed through card payment networks such as MasterCard. The interchange fees are presented net of any associated expenses. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-bank ATM or a non-bank cardholder uses a Company ATM. The Company’s performance obligation for debit card interchange income is largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

Asset Management Referral Fees

Asset management referral fees is primarily comprised of fees received on referring customers to an asset management company. The Company receives a percentage of the monthly or quarterly fees collected by the third-party asset management company from referred accounts. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied upon the account opening at the asset management company and then monthly or quarterly thereafter for the shared portion of fees collected by the third-party asset management company.

Trading Fee Income

Trading fee income is fees received from dealer counterparties for commercial loan interest rate swaps originated between the dealer and the Company’s commercial loan customer. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, payment is received, and revenue is recognized upon the execution of the swap contract between the dealer and the customer.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Other

Other noninterest income consists of various fees, safe deposit box rental fees, and other miscellaneous revenue streams. The fees are primarily transactional and the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied and the related revenue recognized at a point in time. Payment for these fees is primarily received immediately or in the following month. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that since rentals and renewals occur fairly consistently over time, revenue is recognized on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation.

The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in–scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the years ended December 2024 and 2023 (in thousands).

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, revenue recognized at a point in time totals $894,000 and $1,007,000, respectively. Revenue recognized for services transferred over time totaled $854,000 and $725,000, respectively.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as referral fees based on month end reports. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers and, therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, contract assets and contract liabilities were immaterial.
