2017 ANNUAL REVIEWREPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

The ACNB Corporation logo was introduced in 1987. After thirty years, it still stands for the 
fundamental organizational strengths of commitment, independence and community. In 
2017, and as we enter 2018, the logo symbol now identifies new brands associated with 
growth and change at ACNB Corporation — all focused on the vision to be the independent 
financial services provider of choice in the core markets served by building relationships 
and finding solutions.

Significant 2017 Accomplishments

2017 Financial Performance

The two primary challenges for ACNB Corporation in 2017  
were closely intertwined. Both the executive management 
leadership transition and the acquisition and integration of  
New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. and New Windsor State Bank  
were accomplished successfully. 

On May 5, 2017, Thomas A. Ritter retired with James P. Helt 
succeeding him as President & Chief Executive Officer of  
ACNB Corporation and Chief Executive Officer of ACNB Bank. 
This planned transition in leadership began with the promotion 
of Mr. Helt to President of ACNB Bank effective September 
1, 2015, and continued with the announcement of Mr. Ritter’s 
retirement on January 26, 2017.

Effective July 1, 2017, ACNB Corporation and its community 
banking subsidiary, ACNB Bank, completed the acquisition of 
New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. of Taneytown, Maryland, and its 
wholly-owned subsidiary, New Windsor State Bank. This merger 
transaction across the Mason-Dixon Line was announced on 
November 21, 2016. The acquisition resulted in strategic market 
expansion for ACNB Bank into the desirable northern Maryland 
market of Carroll County adjacent to the Bank’s Pennsylvania 
footprint and in proximity to the Corporation’s other wholly-
owned subsidiary, Russell Insurance Group, Inc. ACNB Bank 
now operates in the Maryland market branded as NWSB 
Bank, A Division of ACNB Bank, with systems conversions 
completed in July 2017 so that all ACNB Bank customers can 
conduct business at any of the 29 community banking offices in 
Pennsylvania and Maryland. 

These two significant accomplishments were only achieved 
due to the fortitude and determination of those key individuals 
providing the necessary support to advance the many action 
steps in a merger transaction, while simultaneously adapting 
during the management succession process. 

ACNB Corporation recorded net income of $9,788,000, or $1.50 
earnings per share, for the year ended December 31, 2017. This 
amount is a decrease from 2016 due to the one-time impacts of 
the expenses associated with the acquisition of New Windsor 
Bancorp, Inc. and the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 
on December 22, 2017.  Without these nonrecurring items, net 
income for the year ended December 31, 2017, would have been 
$14,498,000, or $2.22 earnings per share, which represents a 30% 
increase over the results for the year ended December 31, 2016. 

The nonrecurring expenses associated with the acquisition 
and integration of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. incurred during 
2017 amounted to $3,010,000, net of the corresponding tax 
impact at the marginal tax rate. The second nonrecurring event 
that caused additional expense in 2017, but that will produce a 
subsequent immediate positive net income effect, was the Tax 
Cuts and Jobs Act. As a result of this comprehensive federal 
tax reform legislation which impacted many in the financial 
services industry, the Corporation’s federal statutory corporate 
tax rate is reduced from 35% to 21% effective with the 2018 tax 
year; however, accounting standards required recognition in 
the form of a write-down in the Corporation’s net tax deferred 
assets and other adjustments against 2017 net income. This 
one-time, noncash charge against 2017 net income was 
$1,700,000 for ACNB Corporation.

The primary component of the Corporation’s net income is net 
interest income, which is the income derived from the interest 
earned on loans and investments, less the interest paid on 
deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is impacted by 
changes in interest rates, the 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.

2017 ANNUAL REVIEWDuring 2017, the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee 
raised the Fed Funds Rate three times for a total of 75 basis 
points, following single 25 basis point increases in both 2015 
and 2016 after the period of no interest rate changes during the 
recessionary economic environment beginning in 2008. Thus, 
there was also heightened pressure on the net interest margin 
during 2017. ACNB Corporation ended the year with a net interest 
margin of 3.51%, up from 3.35% at the end of 2016, which 
compares favorably with peers in the industry.

The Corporation’s net interest income for the year ended 
December 31, 2017, was $46,352,000—a rise of 27% over the 
year ended December 31, 2016. This substantial increase was a 
direct outcome of the acquisition in 2017. With only six months 
of combined operations, it is clear that the result is accretive to 
earnings and will contribute to the Corporation’s ongoing financial 
growth and stability.

With contributions from the acquisition of New Windsor Bancorp, 
Inc., ACNB Corporation’s total assets grew to $1.6 billion at 
year-end 2017, up 32% from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2016. 
Total deposits increased by 34% from the previous year-end to 
$1.3 billion at December 31, 2017. And, total loans rose by 37% 
to $1.2 billion, as compared to December 31, 2016. Organic 
growth, excluding the impact of the New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. 
acquisition, was 4% and 8% for deposits and loans, respectively, 
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.   

Shareholder Dividends & Equity 

In 2017, ACNB Corporation furthered its long history of paying 
dividends to its shareholders. A cash dividend of $0.20 per share 
was paid in each quarter of 2017. In total, $5,233,000, or $0.80 per 
share, was approved by the ACNB Corporation Board of Directors 
and paid to shareholders in 2017 for a dividend payout ratio of 54%.

Further, total stockholders’ equity continues to grow and remains 
strong at $153,966,000 as of December 31, 2017. 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.

Our Vision

To be the independent financial services provider 
of choice in the core markets served by building 
relationships and finding solutions.

Our Mission Statement 

ACNB Corporation, the financial holding company 
for ACNB Bank and Russell Insurance Group, 
Inc., strives to serve the financial and insurance 
needs of consumers, businesses and other 
entities through the multiple delivery channels 
of these subsidiaries. In all of its endeavors, the 
Corporation seeks to maintain its strength and 
independence as a leader in the markets served. 
Our management is dedicated to maximizing 
long-term investment value to its shareholders by 
means of:

•  Providing and marketing quality financial 
products and services designed to  
focus on the customer’s objectives;

•  Ensuring a productive, encouraging and 
growth-oriented work environment for  
staff members;

•  Adopting and leveraging new technologies for 
the benefit of customer service, operational 
efficiencies, and/or competitive position;

•  Managing human and capital resources for 
the dual purpose of effectively serving and 
satisfying customers’ needs and enhancing 
the organization’s profitability; and,

•  Contributing to the economic vitality and  

overall well-being of the communities served 
by actively participating as a responsible and 
caring corporate citizen.

Fundamental to ACNB Corporation’s performance 
is the commitment to integrity and compliance  
in business conduct, as well as the recognition 
that our business is one built upon relationships 
and trust.

Since the plan’s introduction in January 2011, new shares of 
ACNB Corporation common stock, totaling 137,654 in number 
with plan investments of approximately $2,800,000, 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

In 2017, ACNB Corporation’s subsidiary bank, ACNB Bank, 
founded and headquartered in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, 
celebrated 160 years in serving its local communities. During 
this anniversary year, the Bank expanded its geographic 
footprint and there are now seven community banking offices 
branded as NWSB Bank, A Division of ACNB Bank, in Carroll 
County, Maryland. With these new office locations, ACNB 
Bank’s network of 29 community banking offices spans five 
counties in southcentral Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. 
This long history reinforces the tradition and importance of 
the community banking model of reinvesting depositors’ 
dollars in loans to others for the economic benefit of the 
shared community. There may be more ways in which to 
deliver banking services than there were in 1857; but, the basic 
concepts of serving customers’ financial needs and building 
customer relationships are paramount to our longevity  
now and in the future. 

One area of focus in 2017  
in furthering the mission at ACNB 
Bank was the development of 
Agribusiness Lending.  With 
experienced and knowledgeable 
staff dedicated to this function, the 
initiatives to enhance the Bank’s 
presence in the agricultural sector 
resulted in an additional $13,583,000 

in originated loans at December 31, 2017, for a total of 
$65,293,000 in loans to this industry as of the same date. 
These loans were made to finance the operations of crop farms, 
poultry hatcheries, orchards, dairy cattle and milk producers, 
livestock farms, and others involved in this important segment 
of the local economy.  

As in the past, the growth of ACNB Bank’s loan and deposit 
portfolios is key to the continued success of the organization. 
Competition in the banking industry, from both banks 
and nonbank entities, as well as in ACNB Bank’s specific 
marketplace, is keen. Business development, asset quality, and 
capital strength are all fundamental to the Bank’s day-to-day 
activities and contribute to the Bank’s steadfast commitment to 
safety and soundness.

Wealth Management

Effective January 1, 2018, ACNB Bank 
introduced the Wealth Management 
Division composed of Trust & Investment 
Services staff and Wealth Advisors. 
Trust & Investment Services staff 
provide fiduciary, estate, investment and 
related services to clients. Assets under 

administration totaled $224,056,000 at December 31, 2017, an 
increase of 15% from December 31, 2016.  

Through a third-party relationship, ACNB Bank now offers 
retail brokerage services, including non-deposit investment 
products, through the brands of ACNB Wealth Advisors and 
Windsor Wealth Advisors. This opportunity is an outcome of the 
New Windsor State Bank acquisition, resulting in an acquired 
portfolio of $102,689,000 at December 31, 2017.

Total revenues from fiduciary, investment management  
and brokerage activities were $2,012,000 for the twelve-month 
period ended December 31, 2017, an increase of 19% in 
comparison to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 
2016, due to the retail brokerage activity subsequent to the 
acquisition as well as new Trust & Investment Services account 
development and a higher level of assets under administration. 

Russell Insurance Group, Inc.

Russell Insurance Group, Inc., the insurance subsidiary of ACNB 
Corporation, is a full-service insurance agency offering a broad 
range of property, casualty, and life and health insurance to both 
commercial and personal clients through licenses in 44 states. 
The agency is based in Westminster, Maryland, and also conducts 
business at a second office location in Germantown, Maryland.

2017 ANNUAL REVIEWRevenues from this subsidiary’s commissions from insurance 
sales totaled $5,024,000 for the year of 2017, as compared to 
$4,822,000 for the year of 2016. The year-over-year increase 
of 4% is primarily the result of increased personal lines 
commission income and higher contingent commissions 
received by the agency in 2017.

The Board of Directors

Effective with the close of the New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. 
acquisition, two directors from this organization were appointed 
to the Boards of Directors of ACNB Corporation and ACNB 
Bank to provide insight and guidance related to the Maryland 
market. Todd L. Herring and D. Arthur Seibel, Jr. joined the 
ACNB Corporation Board of Directors as a Class 1 Director and 
Class 2 Director, respectively. Both of these individuals have 
contributed to the ongoing business of ACNB Corporation, and 
are subject to election by the shareholders at the 2018 Annual 
Meeting of Shareholders.

In Closing

The ACNB Corporation logo and brand identity was developed 
in 1987 with the intent to embody the elements of solidity 
representative of a sound financial institution, flexibility 
indicating the organization is people-oriented and not rigid, and 
a multidimensional quality showing organizational depth. At that 
time, as well as today, it reflects ACNB Corporation’s traditional 
values and commitment to remaining independent.

This timeless focus is founded upon the true sense of 
community held by our Board of Directors and staff members. 
At ACNB Corporation, we strive to be the market leader in 
serving the financial and insurance needs of consumers, 
businesses, and other entities in our communities each 
business day. This responsibility, as an integral member of 
the local community, also entails providing meaningful job 
opportunities and giving back through volunteerism and 
community support. 

As always, our endeavors at ACNB Corporation seek to ensure 
long-term value for you, our shareholders, through continued 
focus on our mission built upon the strengths of commitment, 
independence and community. Thank you for your investment in 
ACNB Corporation’s future of promise and opportunities.

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 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and 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; the effect of general economic conditions and more specifically in the Corporation’s market area; 
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.
