REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Dunmore, PA – Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FDBC) and its banking subsidiary, The Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank, announced its unaudited, consolidated financial results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026.

Unaudited Financial Information

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $7.8 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, compared to $6.9 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The $0.9 million, or 13%, increase in net income resulted primarily from a $2.9 million increase in net interest income coupled with a $0.1 million increase in non-interest income. This was partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in non-interest expense and a $0.4 million increase in the provision for credit losses due to the growth of loans and unfunded commitments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income was $15.3 million, or $2.63 diluted earnings per share, compared to $12.9 million, or $2.23 diluted earnings per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.  The $2.4 million, or 19%, increase in net income stemmed from the $5.2 million increase in net interest income and $0.4 million increase in non-interest income. This was partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in non-interest expense and a $1.0 million increase in the provision for credit losses on loans and unfunded commitments.

“We delivered an outstanding second quarter, driven by strong revenue growth and favorable credit performance,” said Daniel J. Santaniello, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our continued execution on key strategic initiatives propelled total assets to nearly $3.0 billion. These results reflect the strength of our franchise, the dedication of our bankers, and their unwavering commitment to the client experience. I am deeply grateful for their contributions and remain confident in our momentum and our ability to build on this success throughout the remainder of 2026.”

Consolidated Second Quarter Operating Results Overview

Net interest income was $20.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, representing a 16% increase over the $17.9 million earned for the second quarter of 2025. The $2.9 million increase in net interest income resulted from the increase of $1.9 million in interest income primarily due to a $113.1 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a 9 basis points increase in fully-taxable equivalent ("FTE") (non-GAAP measurement) yields. The loan portfolio had the most significant impact, producing a $3.2 million increase in FTE interest income from $208.2 million in higher quarterly average balances and an increase of 5 basis points in FTE loan yields. The increase in interest income was coupled with a $0.8 million decrease in interest expense on deposits due to a 28 basis points decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing deposits which more than offset the increase from $82.1 million in higher average balances compared to the second quarter of 2025.

The FTE yield on interest-earning assets was 4.86% for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 9 basis points from 4.77% for the second quarter of 2025. The overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.24% for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of 28 basis points from the 2.52% for the second quarter of 2025. The cost of funds decreased 22 basis points from 1.95% to 1.73% for the second quarters of 2025 and 2026, respectively. The Company’s FTE net interest spread was 2.62% for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 37 basis points from 2.25% recorded for the second quarter of 2025. FTE net interest margin increased to 3.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from 2.92% for the same period of 2025.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the provision for credit losses on loans was $400 thousand and the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $340 thousand, compared to a $300 thousand provision for credit losses on loans and a $20 thousand provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments for the three months ended June 30, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the increase in the provision for credit losses on loans compared to the prior year period was due to more funded loan growth. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the increase in the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments compared to the prior period was primarily due to higher commercial construction commitments and loan originations within the portfolio.

Total non-interest income increased $0.1 million, or 2%, to $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributed to an increase of $0.4 million in wealth management revenue. This increase was partially offset by a $0.2 million in BOLI death benefit recognized during the second quarter of 2025.

Non-interest expenses increased $1.3 million, or 9%, for the second quarter of 2026 to $16.0 million from $14.7 million for the same quarter of 2025. The increase in non-interest expenses was attributed to added salaries and benefits expense of $0.8 million primarily due to an increase in the number of bankers quarter-over-quarter. Additionally, the Company experienced an increase of $0.2 million in professional services expenses and $0.1 million in premises and equipment expenses primarily due to costs for software and subscriptions. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in advertising costs.

The provision for income taxes increased $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in income before taxes.

Consolidated Year-To-Date Operating Results Overview

Net interest income was $40.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $35.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The $5.2 million increase in net interest income resulted from the increase of $4.1 million in interest income primarily due to a $136.8 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a 7 basis points increase in FTE yield. The largest contributor to interest income growth was the loan portfolio which produced $5.2 million in interest income from an increase of 5 basis points in FTE loan yields on $170.7 million in higher average balances. The increase in interest income was partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in interest earned on the investment portfolio due to decreases of 17 basis points in yield and $49.9 million in average balances. Additionally, the Company experienced a decrease of $1.1 million in interest expense on deposits due to a 25 basis points decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing deposits which more than offset the increase from $109.9 million in higher average balances during the first half of 2026.

The overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 2.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The cost of funds decreased 19 basis points to 1.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 1.94% for the same period of 2025. The FTE yield on earning assets was 4.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of 7 basis points from the 4.75% year-to-date June 30, 2025. The Company’s FTE net interest spread was 2.57% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of 33 basis points from the 2.24% recorded for the same period of 2025. FTE net interest margin increased by 24 basis points to 3.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 2.91% for the same 2025 period primarily due to the decrease on rates paid on interest-bearing deposits coupled with a slight increase on yields earned from loans and leases.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the provision for credit losses on loans was $1.3 million and the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $430 thousand compared to a $755 thousand provision for credit losses on loans and a $65 thousand benefit for credit losses on unfunded commitments for the six months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the increase in the provision for credit losses on loans compared to the prior year period was due to higher loan growth. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the increase in the provision for unfunded commitments compared to the prior period was due to growth in originations within the portfolio, specifically in commercial construction commitments.

Total non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $10.7 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 3%, from $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to $0.7 million growth in wealth management revenue. Additionally, the Company saw an increase of $0.2 million in commercial loan late fees due to two substandard loans that were paid off and $0.4 million increase in fees from commercial loans with interest rate hedges during the first half of 2026. Partially offsetting the increase in non-interest income was a decrease of $0.7 million in gains from sold loans primarily due to a $0.5 million gain on the sale of a commercial loan during the first half of 2025.

Non-interest expenses increased to $31.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $1.9 million, or 7%, from $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Salaries and benefits expense increased $1.2 million due to an increase in bankers in the first half of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Additionally, the Company experienced an increase of $0.3 million in professional services expense. Premises and equipment expense increased $0.2 million primarily due to new technology and higher software costs.

The provision for income taxes increased $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in income before taxes. Partially offsetting the increase in the provision for income taxes was a $0.5 million discount recognized in the provision from utilizing/applying purchased renewable energy tax credits. 

Consolidated Balance Sheet & Asset Quality Overview

The Company’s total assets had a balance of $3.0 billion as of June 30, 2026, an increase of $223.1 million from December 31, 2025. The increase resulted from $174.9 million of net growth in the loans and leases portfolio as of June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents increased $59.6 million over the same period. Asset growth was offset by a decrease of $14.9 million in the investment portfolio primarily due to $10.5 million in paydowns and the sale of $5.8 million in available-for-sale securities.

During the same time period, total liabilities increased $209.1 million, or 8%. Deposit growth of $91.3 million and short-term borrowings of $119.8 million were utilized to fund loan growth and increase interest-bearing cash balances. The Company experienced an increase of $30.3 million in non-interest-bearing checking accounts.

Shareholders’ equity increased $14.0 million, or 6%, to $252.9 million at June 30, 2026 from $238.9 million at December 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to provide information useful to the reader in understanding its operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities.  The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to measure their performance and trends. Non-GAAP financial measures should be supplemental to GAAP used to prepare the Company’s operating results and should not be read in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for GAAP measures. Adjusted non-interest income used in the calculation of certain non-GAAP performance measures excludes gains and losses on securities sales in order to enhance comparability between reporting periods. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP are presented in the tables below.

Interest income was adjusted to recognize the income from tax exempt interest-earning assets as if the interest was taxable, fully-taxable equivalent ("FTE"), in order to calculate certain ratios within this document.  This treatment allows a uniform comparison among yields on interest-earning assets.  Interest income was FTE adjusted, using the corporate federal tax rate of 21% for 2026 and 2025. FTE adjustments affect interest income and related ratios only and do not impact reported GAAP net income.
