New doors are opening at ACNB Corporation.  For its wholly-owned subsidiaries of 

ACNB Bank and Russell Insurance Group, Inc.  For its customers and communities

nearly 160 years of continued growth and independence since its founding in 1857.

2015 Financial Performance

The past year of 2015 was one of growth and 

income. Essentially, this is the income derived from 

achievement for ACNB Corporation as earnings, 

the interest earned on loans and investments, less the 

assets, loans, deposits, and stockholders’ equity all 

interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Net interest 

advanced year over year. 

income is impacted by changes in interest rates, the 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, net income 

was $11,017,000, or $1.83 per share. In comparison to 

2014, this is an increase of $727,000 or 7%. Net income 

for the year ended December 31, 2014, was $10,290,000, 

or $1.71 per share.

THE PAST YEAR 
of 2015 was one of 

growth and achievement 

for ACNB Corporation.

Overall, the increase in earnings was the direct result 

of the Corporation’s long-term strategy, through its 

volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing 

liabilities, and the composition of these assets and 

liabilities. By its inherent nature, this income source 

is predominantly influenced by market interest rates, 

local economic conditions, stock market impacts, 

and competitive market dynamics. 

In 2015, there was again no relief on the net interest 

margin—a key measure of changes in net interest 

income—due to the prolonged low interest rate 

environment. ACNB Corporation’s net interest margin 

was 3.45% in 2015 and 3.47% in 2014. However, the 

Corporation’s net interest income improved to 

$35,606,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, 

as compared to $33,880,000 for the year ended 

December 31, 2014, due to consistent loan growth

ACNB Corporation’s total assets grew to $1.15 billion at 

year-end 2015, up 5% from $1.09 billion at December 31,

Shareholder Dividends & Equity

Once again, ACNB Corporation shareholders 

benefitted from the organization’s financial 

performance in 2015 as the Corporation furthered 

its long history of paying meaningful dividends to its 

shareholders. ACNB Corporation paid $4,820,000, 

or $0.80 per share, in cash dividends to shareholders 

during 2015. This compares to $4,622,000, or $0.77 

per share, paid in 2014. The dividend payout ratios 

were 44% and 45% for 2015 and 2014, respectively. 

Unlike many of our competitors in the industry, 

the Corporation paid a stable quarterly dividend 

throughout the financial crisis and industry turmoil 

in past years. This was a substantial commitment of 

financial resources, but also a testament to ACNB 

Corporation’s continued soundness and determination 

in providing shareholders value on their investment. 

Further, total stockholders’ equity continues to grow 

and remains strong at $115 million as of December 31, 

2015. Ongoing capital enhancement is fundamentally 

dependent upon sustained earnings growth.

The ACNB Corporation Dividend Reinvestment and 

Stock Purchase Plan offers registered shareholders 

the opportunity to purchase additional shares of the 

Corporation’s common stock through the automatic 

reinvestment of cash dividends and voluntary cash 

payments on a quarterly basis. The benefit to the 

registered shareholders who elect to participate in 

the plan includes the convenience of the acquisition 

of additional shares of ACNB Corporation common 

stock, as well as the ability to do so without paying 

service fees or brokerage commissions. Since the plan’s 

introduction in January 2011, new shares of ACNB 

ACNB CORPORATION paid 
$4,820,000, or $0.80 per 

share, in cash dividends to 

shareholders during 2015.

Corporation common stock, totaling 111,381 in number 

and plan investments of nearly $2,000,000, have been 

issued to plan participants as a result of both dividend 

reinvestment and voluntary cash purchases, which 

continue to fortify the Corporation’s equity position. 

ACNB Bank

ACNB Corporation’s banking subsidiary, ACNB Bank, 

is the primary driver of the organization’s revenues 

and profit. This source of strength has been built on 

the precepts of community banking—reinvesting 

depositors’ dollars in loans to others for the economic 

benefit of the shared community. The definition of 

community implies a common bond. ACNB Bank is a 

vital link in contributing to the economic strength 

in its markets. 

Today, ACNB Bank serves customers in the four 

southcentral Pennsylvania counties of Adams, 

Cumberland, Franklin and York through a retail banking 

network of 21 offices and a loan production office. In 

2015, the Bank opened a second location in Franklin 

County. The Chambersburg Drive-Up, situated at 915 

Wayne Avenue, first welcomed customers on May 1, 

2015, complementing the full-service Chambersburg 

Office at 850 Norland Avenue which opened for 

business on July 24, 2014.

proven to be a successful endeavor, opening the

a new retail banking office at 201 Pauline Drive, York, 

in the South York Plaza. In October 2015, the Bank 

broke ground for the construction of a new South 

Hanover Office at 1801 Baltimore Pike, Hanover, for the 

relocation of operations from the current site at 865 

Baltimore Street. This new retail banking office site 

provides improved visibility and accessibility for current 

and prospective customers in this area of the key 

Hanover market. The plan is for the new South Hanover 

Office to open its doors for business in May 2016. 

THE KEY TO SUCCESS at 
ACNB Corporation is the 

willingness to open new 

doors for the organization 

and its customers. 

Competition for loans and deposits remains 

intense. Products, pricing and service all factor into 

the customer’s decision making. Once again, the 

Bank’s staff has responded to the demands of both 

commercial and retail customers in the local financial 

services marketplace—resulting in the hard-earned loan 

and deposit growth attained in 2015. The 7% growth 

in loans for 2015 was centered in commercial credits, 

including governmental lending to municipalities and 

4   |   O P E N I N G N E W D O O R S

Asset quality, as always, is a high priority at ACNB 

Bank. There was marked improvement in the ratio of 

non-performing loans to total loans, which was 0.68% 

and 1.04%, respectively, at year-end 2015 and 2014. 

This credit quality metric is favorable in comparison 

to peers, as well as contributed to the slightly lowered 

allowance for loan losses in the amount of $14,747,000 

at year-end 2015. The resulting ratio of the allowance for 

loan losses to total loans was 1.73% as of December 31, 

2015, and the coverage ratio of the allowance for loan 

losses to non-performing loans was strong at 252.91% 

as of the same date.

Today’s banking and regulatory environments, 

including the new requirements related to the Basel III 

standards and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act, necessitate an emphasis on 

capital as the fundamental element for organizational 

strength and sustainability. The Bank’s total risk-based 

capital ratio advanced to 14.48% at December 31, 2015, 

which exceeds the regulatory requirement of 10.00% to 

be considered a well capitalized financial institution by 

regulators. Improvement in the capital position of the 

Bank is predominantly a function of retained earnings, 

which is the amount of net income after the payment 

of dividends to the Corporation for issuance to ACNB 

Corporation shareholders.

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this document contains forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not 

limited to, (a) projections or statements regarding future earnings, expenses, net interest income, other income, earnings or loss per share, asset mix and 

quality, growth prospects, capital structure, and other financial terms, (b) statements of plans and objectives of management or the Board of Directors, 

and (c) statements of assumptions, such as economic conditions in the Corporation’s market areas. Such forward-looking statements can be identified 

by  the  use  of  forward-looking  terminology  such  as  “believes”,  “expects”,  “may”,  “intends”,  “will”,  “should”,  “anticipates”,  or  the  negative  of  any  of  the 

foregoing or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussion of strategy. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and 

uncertainties such as local economic conditions, competitive factors, and regulatory limitations. Actual results may differ materially from those projected 

in the forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and experience to differ from those projected 

include, but are not limited to, the following: the effects of governmental and fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes; the effects of new 

laws and regulations, specifically the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; impacts of the new capital and liquidity 

requirements of the Basel III standards; the effects of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well 

as the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters; ineffectiveness of the business strategy due to changes in current or 

future market conditions; future actions or inactions of the United States government, including the effects of short- and long-term federal budget and tax 

negotiations and a failure to increase the government debt limit or a prolonged shutdown of the federal government; the effects of economic deterioration 

and the prolonged economic malaise on current customers, specifically the effect of the economy on loan customers’ ability to repay loans; the effects of 

competition, and of changes in laws and regulations on competition, including industry consolidation and development of competing financial products 

and services; the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand, and the values of loan collateral, securities, and 

interest rate protection agreements, as well as interest rate risks; difficulties in acquisitions and integrating and operating acquired business operations, 

including information technology difficulties; challenges in establishing and maintaining operations in new markets; the effects of technology changes; 

volatilities in the securities markets; slow economic conditions; the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for loan losses and 

estimations of values of collateral and various financial assets and liabilities; acts of war or terrorism; disruption of credit and equity markets; the ability 

to manage current levels of impaired assets; the loss of certain key officers; the ability to maintain the value and image of the Corporation’s brand and 

protect  the  Corporation’s  intellectual  property  rights;  continued  relationships  with  major  customers;  and,  potential  impacts  to  the  Corporation  from 

continually evolving cybersecurity and other technological risks and attacks, including additional costs, reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and 

financial losses. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. They only reflect management’s analysis as of this 

date. The Corporation does not revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or changed circumstances. Please carefully review 

the risk factors described in other documents the Corporation files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual 

Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Please also carefully review any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Corporation with 

the Securities and Exchange Commission.
