Reports Unaudited Third Quarter and Year to Date 2026 Earnings

TO BUSINESS EDITOR:

PEOPLES FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP.

Moosic, PA, October 30, 2026/BUSINESSWIRE/ – Peoples Financial Services Corp. (“Peoples” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PFIS), the bank holding company for Peoples Security Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Peoples reported net income of $19.1 million, or $1.90 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $3.9 million compared to net income of $15.2 million, or $1.51 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 totaled $48.7 million, or $4.85 per diluted share, an increase of $1.5 million, compared to $47.2 million, or $4.69 per diluted share for the same nine months of 2025. Return on average assets (“ROAA”) and return on average equity (“ROAE”) on an annualized basis for the three months ended September 30, 2026, were 1.41% and 14.07%, respectively, compared to 1.19% and 12.02%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, annualized ROAA and ROAE were 1.23% and 12.16%, respectively, compared to 1.25% and 12.86%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in net income for both the three- and nine-month periods was primarily attributable to higher net interest income and non-interest income, partially offset by increases in non-interest expense. For the three-month period ending September 30, 2026, there was a benefit of credit losses whereas the nine-month period recognized a provision of credit losses that partially offset the increase in net income for the year-to-date period.

“We are pleased with our strong third-quarter performance, highlighted by meaningful growth in net income and improved returns on both assets and equity. Higher net interest income and non-interest income reflect the strength of our core business, the dedication of our team, and our disciplined execution” commented Gerard A. Champi, President & CEO. “These results underscore the resilience and strength of our franchise and our continued focus on creating long-term value for our shareholders. As we move forward, we remain committed on delivering consistent financial performance while continuing to invest in our customers, employees, and the communities we serve.” concluded Mr. Champi.

In addition to evaluating its results of operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Peoples routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as tangible stockholders’ equity, core net income, and tax-equivalent net interest income and related ratios, among others. The reported results included in this release contain items, which Peoples considers non-core, namely net gains and losses on the sale of available for sale investment securities and acquisition-related expenses. Peoples believes the reported non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding its operating performance and trends. Where non-GAAP disclosures are used in this press release, a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure is provided in the accompanying tables. The non-GAAP financial measures Peoples uses may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures of other financial institutions and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP.

Third Quarter 2026 Results – Comparison to Second Quarter 2026 and Third Quarter 2025 Net interest income increased $6.1 million to $47.3 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $41.2 million for the prior year third quarter. FTE net interest income, a non-GAAP measure¹, increased $6.4 million to $48.3 million as of September 30, 2026, from $41.9 million at September 30, 2025. Specifically, the increase in FTE net interest income, a non-GAAP measure¹, resulted largely from a $6.5 million increase in FTE interest income, while interest expense increased modestly by $0.2 million. The increase in interest income reflected improved earning asset yields and an increase in loan volume, while lower deposit and borrowing costs almost entirely offset the impact of growth in interest-bearing liabilities on interest expense. Linked quarter net interest income increased $1.7 million from $45.6 million at June 30, 2026. FTE net interest income for the linked quarters increased $1.8 million from $46.5 million in June 2026, which was due to a $3.8 million increase in FTE interest income, partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in interest expense. The linked quarters saw increases in funding costs as the Company utilized CD specials, brokered deposits and FHLB advances to fund loan growth.

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded a benefit for credit losses of $1.1 million, compared to a benefit of $0.8 million for the same period in 2025, and a provision of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2026. The reduction in credit provisioning reflected improved asset quality metrics, seasoning of the equipment loan segment and lower specific reserves resulting from the successful resolution of nonperforming loans.

Noninterest income was $5.7 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The Company recorded a loss on the sales of administrative offices of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. There were no such losses recorded during the third quarter of 2026. Non-interest income decreased $0.8 million from $6.5 million for the linked quarter ending June 30, 2026, primarily due to decreases in merchant services and service charges and the absence of the $0.3 million gain on the sale of a branch property that was part of a sale/leaseback transaction in the second quarter of 2026.

The current quarter’s non-interest expense increased $3.0 million to $31.7 million from the prior year’s same quarter non-interest expense of $28.7 million. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.5 million associated with merit increases, staff additions, and higher benefit costs. Other expenses increased $1.1 million primarily due to increases in corporate business development and professional fees. Noninterest expense increased by $1.1 million from $30.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Salaries increased $0.5 million, which primarily reflected staff additions and higher stock-based compensation expenses. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $0.4 million resulting from higher data processing expenses. The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure¹, was 56.12% for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, an increase as compared to 55.16% for the linked quarter ended June 30, 2026, but an improvement from 56.52% from the prior year quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Income tax expense was $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The effective tax rate was 14.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, 19.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and 19.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the current quarter was largely due to the purchase of 2025 federal tax credits during the three months ended September 30, 2026, which reduced income tax expense by $1.2 million.

Nine-Month Results – Comparison to Prior Year First Nine Months Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, increased $12.9 million to $135.8 million from $122.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. On an FTE basis, net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, increased $13.4 million to $138.5 million from $125.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in FTE net interest income was due to an $11.6 million increase in tax-equivalent interest income, a non-GAAP measure¹, coupled with a $1.8 million decrease in interest expense. The Company’s net interest spread widened 22 basis points to 3.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from 2.97% for the same nine-month period of 2025. Additionally, comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s FTE net interest margin improved by 19 basis points to 3.77% from 3.58%, respectively.

The increase in fully tax-equivalent interest income was driven primarily by higher earning asset balances, particularly taxable loans, and by higher balances and yields on tax-exempt investment securities. Lower overall FTE yields, mainly on taxable investments, partially offset these benefits.

Total average earning assets increased $241.4 million to $4.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from $4.7 billion for the same nine months of 2025. Average taxable loans increased $245.4 million to $4.0 billion from $3.7 billion comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The yield on taxable loans decreased 10 basis points to 6.03% from 6.13% between the two periods, which primarily reflected a 75 basis point reduction in the prime rate during the second half of 2025 offset slightly by the increase of 25 basis points in September 2026. Accretion associated with purchase accounting fair value discounts on purchased loans was $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $12.2 million for the same period of 2025. Average tax-exempt investments totaled $157.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $66.7 million from $90.9 million for the same nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, while taxable investments averaged $430.9 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $549.8 million at September 30, 2025. Average interest earning deposits increased by $58.1 million to $100.9 million at September 30, 2026, from $42.8 million at September 30, 2025. The FTE ¹ See reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures on pg.13-14.

yield on investments increased 76 basis points to 3.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from 3.11% for the same nine months of 2025.

Interest expense decreased $1.8 million to $68.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $70.0 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower average deposit rates overall, coupled with a reduction in average small dollar time deposits, which offset net balance increases in the non-maturing deposit portfolio. These benefits were partially offset by higher average balances on borrowings and subordinated debt exceeding reductions in borrowing rates. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 23 basis points to 2.19% from 2.42%, reflecting lower market rates in 2026 in addition to lower costs related to interest bearing demand accounts when compared to 2025.

Average small dollar time deposits, which include brokered deposits, decreased $68.5 million to $321.3 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from $389.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The average rate paid for small dollar time deposits decreased 53 basis points to 3.29% from 3.82% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively, partially the result of a reduction of $50.9 million in average brokered deposits, which the Company let roll off at maturity. These higher-costing deposits were replaced with lower cost non-maturing deposits and borrowings. Average subordinated debt increased $25.9 million to $83.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from $57.4 million for the same period in 2025, while the average rate paid on subordinated debt increased 93 basis points to 8.42% from 7.49% for the periods ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively, due to a net new issuance of subordinated debt in the second quarter of 2025 in the amount of $52 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the provision for credit losses was $3.3 million, an increase of $4.2 million from a $0.9 million benefit recorded for the same nine months of 2025. The increase in loan provisioning in the first nine months of 2026 was primarily impacted by significant loan growth, while the benefit in the first nine months of the prior year reflected reductions in non-accrual assets and declines in model loss rates.

Noninterest income was $19.1 million and $18.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The $1.1 million increase in noninterest income was primarily due to increases in interest rate swap income of $0.6 million, along with combined net gains of $0.5 million on the sale of investment securities available for sale, a $0.3 million gain on the sale and market value appreciation of equity securities and a $0.4 million increase in mortgage banking income, partially offset by a decrease in service charge, fee, and commission income of $0.7 million. The current nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, includes a gain on the sale of a branch property of $0.3 million that was part of the aforementioned sale/leaseback transaction. The comparable prior year period included a loss of $0.6 million on the sales of administrative offices, offset by gain of $0.7 million on the sale of the Company’s former corporate headquarters in Scranton, PA.

Noninterest expense increased $7.9 million to $92.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from $84.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This increase is primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, and other expenses. Salaries and employee benefits expense was $45.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $41.4 million for the same nine months in 2025. The $3.8 million increase resulted primarily from annual merit increases, staff additions and higher health insurance costs. Net occupancy and equipment expenses were $22.7 million for the first nine months of 2026, an increase of $2.6 million from $20.1 million for the same nine-month period in 2025. The increase was largely caused by higher rent expenses associated with the new corporate headquarters and increases in data processing expenses related to the implementation of an on-line account opening platform. Other expenses increased $2.6 million to $17.7 million from $15.1 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2025. This increase in other expenses includes an increase in advertising, corporate business development, and legal expenses. The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure¹, was 56.10% in 2026 and 55.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

Income tax expense was $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The effective tax rate was 18.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 17.9% in the prior year’s same nine-month period.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Total loans were $4.4 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $60.7 million compared to $4.3 billion at June 30, 2026, and an increase of $347.1 million compared to $4.0 billion at September 30, 2025. Comparing September 30, 2026, and 2025, the Company saw strong demand in all markets for commercial and residential real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and municipal loans, with decreases seen in the Company’s equipment financing and indirect auto loan portfolio. Comparing September 30, 2026, to June 30, 2026, increases were observed in the commercial and industrial portfolio and in the commercial and residential real estate portfolio. Consumer loans and the equipment financing portfolios were relatively flat, while the indirect auto portfolio decreased.

Total investments were $510.2 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $529.6 million at June 30, 2026, and $610.3 million at September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2026, available for sale securities totaled $440.8 million, a decrease of $17.3 million from $458.1 million at June 30, 2026, and a decrease of $93.7 million from $534.5 million at September 30, 2025. Held to maturity securities totaled $66.7 million at September 30, 2026, a decrease of $2.1 million from $68.8 million at June 30, 2026, and a decrease of $6.6 million from $73.3 million at September 30, 2025. Due to strong loan demand, cash flows from repayments of investment securities and a portion of the proceeds from sales of investments during the first three months of 2026 were redirected and used to fund loan growth.

Total deposits were $4.7 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $163.3 million from $4.5 billion at June 30, 2026, and an increase of $382.4 million from $4.3 billion at September 30, 2025. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $24.5 million to $971.0 million at September 30, 2026, from $946.5 million at June 30, 2026, and increased $59.1 million from $912.0 million at September 30, 2025. Interest-bearing deposits increased $138.7 million to $3.7 billion from $3.6 billion at June 30, 2026, and increased $323.4 million from $3.4 billion at September 30, 2025, primarily reflecting a strategic deposit growth effort which offset a decrease in brokered deposits. Brokered deposits represented 5.4% of total deposits at September 30, 2026, and 7.7% of total deposits at June 30, 2026, compared with 3.9% at September 30, 2025. Approximately 34.8% of deposits were uninsured at September 30, 2026, compared with 31.0% uninsured at June 30, 2026, and 32.3% at September 30, 2025.

The Company maintained a strong capital position at September 30, 2026. Stockholders’ equity equaled $529.3 million or $52.87 per share at September 30, 2026, compared to $536.2 million or $53.56 per share at June 30, 2026, and $509.3 million, or $50.95 per share at September 30, 2025. Stockholders’ equity was impacted by net income, offset by dividends to shareholders and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss primarily due to market rate adjustments related to available for sale investments.

Tangible book value, a non-GAAP measure¹ was $42.95 per share at September 30, 2026, $43.51 per share at June 30, 2026, and $40.43 at September 30, 2025. The Company declared quarterly dividends of $0.625 for each quarter of 2026 and $0.6175 for the quarter ending September 30, 2025. Dividends for the year totaled $1.875 per share for 2026 and $1.853 per share for 2025.

ASSET QUALITY REVIEW

The Company experienced strong improvement in asset quality during the three- and nine-month periods of 2026. Nonperforming assets, which include nonperforming loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, and foreclosed assets, were $10.3 million or 0.24% of loans, net and foreclosed assets, at September 30, 2026, a $4.4 million decrease compared to $14.7 million, or 0.34% of loans, net and foreclosed assets at June 30, 2026. The linked-quarter decrease was primarily due to favorable resolutions of several nonaccrual assets during the third quarter of 2026. In comparison to the prior year period, nonperforming assets decreased $6.5 million from $16.8 million, or 0.42% of loans, net and foreclosed assets at September 30, 2025, primarily reflecting a $4.3 million reduction in nonaccrual loans and the final resolution of a foreclosed property. Nonperforming assets represented 0.19% of total assets at September 30, 2026, compared to 0.27% at June 30, 2026, and 0.33% at September 30, 2025.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, net charge-offs were $0.4 million and the benefit for credit losses was $1.1 million, compared to net charge-offs of $0.2 million and a benefit for credit losses of $0.8 million for the same period of 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net charge-offs were $1.6 million and the provision for credit losses was $3.3 million, compared to net charge-offs of $1.1 million and a benefit for credit losses of $0.9 million for the same nine months of 2025. The allowance for credit losses equaled $40.8 million or 0.93% of loans, net, as of September 30, 2026, compared to $42.3 million or 0.98% of loans, net, as of June 30, 2026, and $39.8 million or 0.99% of loans, net as of September 30, 2025.
