ACNB’s financial results for both the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2025 were impacted by the repositioning of the investment securities portfolio as announced on Form 8-K on December 5, 2025. ACNB completed a repositioning of the investment securities portfolio by selling $74.6 million in book value of available for sale investment securities for an after-tax loss of $2.8 million. In addition, the financial results for 2025 were impacted by the acquisition of Traditions Bancorp, Inc. which was completed on February 1, 2025 (“Acquisition”). The financial results for any periods ended prior to February 1, 2025 reflect ACNB on a standalone basis. As a result, ACNB’s financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 may not be directly comparable to prior reported periods.

The decrease in both periods was driven primarily by the repositioning of the investment securities portfolio, which generated a $3.6 million pre-tax loss on the sale of investment securities, and insurance commissions which were $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $663 thousand and $223 thousand from the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the three months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

The increase in wealth management income from the three months ended September 30, 2025 was driven primarily by higher estate administration income while the increase from the three months ended December 31, 2024 was driven primarily by growth of fee-based assets under management/administration, and an increase in estate administration income and brokerage commissions generated by higher overall sales activity.

Earnings on investment in bank-owned life insurance was $735 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a $84 thousand increase from the three months ended September 30, 2025 and a $229 thousand increase from the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in earnings on investment in bank-owned life insurance from the three months ended September 30, 2025 was driven primarily by the purchase of new policies in the third quarter of 2025 while the increase from the three months ended December 31, 2024 was driven primarily the purchase of new policies in the third quarter of 2025 and the Acquisition.

Noninterest income, excluding net gains (losses) on sales or calls of securities, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $32.1 million, an increase of $7.5 million from the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

The increase was driven primarily by internal bank initiatives and the Acquisition.

The decrease was driven primarily by lower health insurance expense.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025 increased $5.1 million from the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was driven primarily by the Acquisition. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024.

The increase was driven primarily by the Acquisition, higher internet banking services and contributions.

Loans and Asset Quality

Total loans outstanding were $2.33 billion at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $6.1 million from September 30, 2025 and an increase of $647.6 million from December 31, 2024. The decrease compared to September 30, 2025 was across commercial and industrial, real estate construction and consumer portfolios and was partially offset by increases in commercial real estate, residential mortgage and home equity lines of credit portfolios. The increase compared to December 31, 2024 was spread across all loan categories and was driven primarily by the Acquisition. The allowance for credit losses was $23.7 million at December 31, 2025, an increase of $12 thousand compared to September 30, 2025 and an increase of $6.4 million compared to December 31, 2024.

Total non-performing loans to total loans, net of unearned income, increased from 0.40% at December 31, 2024 to 0.46% at December 31, 2025.

Time deposits increased $6.5 million and $179.9 million since September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity was $420.0 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $408.6 million at September 30, 2025 and $303.3 million at December 31, 2024.
