A HISTORY OF COMMITMENT 

2018 ANNUAL REVIEW

OUR VISION

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

The Great Reunion of 1913. Reproducing a historic photograph 
of  Gettysburg’s  Lincoln  Square  at  the  time  of  the  50th 
Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1913, this wall 
mural was unveiled in the Atrium of the ACNB Corporation 
Operations Center in May 2018. The mural depicts the building 
constructed in 1908 by The First National Bank of Gettysburg, a 
predecessor financial institution, on the founding site of ACNB 
Corporation’s banking subsidiary, now ACNB Bank, in 1857. 

Report to 
Shareholders

A history of commitment distinguishes ACNB 

Corporation and its subsidiaries. A history 

unbroken  and  continuous,  as  founded  in 

1857. Circles of commitment between our 

organization and its shareholders, employees, 

customers, and communities served. This 

commitment is central to ACNB Corporation’s 

vision and its mission for the subsidiaries of 

ACNB Bank and Russell Insurance Group, Inc. 

A RECORD YEAR IN 2018
For the year ended December 31, 2018, ACNB Corporation 
reported record financial results with net income of 
$21,748,000 or $3.09 per share. In comparison to the 
prior year, this is an increase of $11,960,000 or 122.2%. 
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2017, was 
$9,788,000 or $1.50 per share. 

The primary driver of this significant increase in net 
income  was  the  first  full  year  of  combined  banking 
operations  and  positive  momentum  experienced 
following the acquisition of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. 
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, New Windsor State 
Bank, effective July 1, 2017. Also contributing to the 
Corporation’s strong 2018 financial performance was 
enhanced revenue growth attributable to subsidiary 
activities through both ACNB Bank Wealth Management 
and Russell Insurance Group, Inc. To a lesser degree, 
the higher net income reported for 2018 was a result of 
merger-related expenses in 2017 and organic net revenue 
growth in 2018, aided by a lower effective tax rate due to 
tax reform under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which took 
effect on January 1, 2018.

Similar to other financial holding companies of community 
banks, the principal component of ACNB Corporation’s 
net income is net interest income. This fundamental 
source of revenue 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. 

Net interest income totaled $57,095,000 for 2018, as 
compared to $46,352,000 for 2017. This year-over-year 
increase of $10,743,000, or 23.2%, was primarily due to 
higher loan volume including a full year of interest income 
on loans acquired through the New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. 
transaction in 2017. 

During  2018,  the  Corporation  was  challenged  given 
the  interest  rate  environment  to  balance  customer 
expectations and the need to control the cost of funding 
loan growth. While the Federal Reserve’s Open Market 
Committee raised the Fed Funds Rate four times for a 
total of 100 basis points during the year to 2.50%, there 
was no corresponding increase in longer term market 
interest rates. As a result, the competitive marketplace 
caused interest rates on loans to be restrained, while there 
was pressure for increased interest rates on deposits.

With record financial results in 2018, ACNB Corporation’s 
return on average assets and return on average equity 
were 1.34% and 13.62%, respectively, as of December 31, 
2018.  These  ratios  compare  very  favorably  to  the 
Corporation’s return on average assets of 0.69% and 
return on average equity of 7.12% as of December 31, 
2017, reinforcing the accretive impact of the New Windsor 
Bancorp, Inc. transaction.

At  December  31,  2018,  ACNB  Corporation’s  total 
assets were $1.6 billion. Total loans outstanding were 
$1,302,465,000  at  year-end  2018,  up  $58,295,000, 
or  4.7%,  from  December  31,  2017,  primarily  in  the 
commercial loan portfolio, despite the generally slower 
economic conditions and continued intense competition  
during 2018 in the Corporation’s markets. Total deposits 
were $1,348,092,000 at December 31, 2018. Year over 
year,  total  deposits  rose  by  $49,600,000,  or  3.8%, 
since December 31, 2017, with significant growth in 
transaction accounts. 

SHAREHOLDER DIVIDENDS & EQUITY 
A key area of strength and differentiation for ACNB 
Corporation is its commitment to shareholders. This is 
evidenced by the Corporation’s history of paying a solid 
and stable quarterly cash dividend on its common stock 
for decades through times of both economic expansion 
and recession. In 2018, ACNB Corporation shareholders 
were rewarded with a 15% increase in the quarterly cash 
dividend amount from $0.20 per share to $0.23 per 
share effective with the payment of the cash dividend 
on June 15, 2018—resulting in a total dividend paid of 
$0.89 per share for the year. Aggregate dividends paid 
to all shareholders totaled $6,261,000 during 2018, which 
is an increase of more than $1,000,000 over the prior 
year. In 2017, ACNB Corporation paid an $0.80 dividend 
per share for total dividends paid to shareholders in the 
amount of $5,233,000. A portion of the increase in total 
dividends paid in 2018 was a result of new shares issued 
effective with the acquisition of New Windsor Bancorp, 
Inc. on July 1, 2017. 

At December 31, 2018, total stockholders’ equity was 
$168,137,000. Compared to $153,966,000 at December 31, 
2017, this is an increase of $14,171,000, or 9.2%, due to 
earnings retained in capital in 2018 and new shares of 
common stock primarily from dividend reinvestment. 
Fundamental  to  ongoing  capital  enhancement  is 
sustained earnings growth year over year.

ACNB CORPORATION 2018 ANNUAL REVIEW      |wholly-owned subsidiary, Russell Insurance Group, Inc. 
ACNB  Bank’s  community  banking  operations  in  the 
Maryland market are branded as NWSB Bank, A Division 
of  ACNB  Bank,  and  all  ACNB  Bank  customers  can 
conduct business at any of the 29 community banking 
offices  located  in  Pennsylvania  and  Maryland.  The 
Corporation’s commitment to the community banking 
model is predicated upon the continued reinvestment 
of depositors’ dollars in loans to others for the economic 
benefit of the communities served. 

On July 25, 2018, ACNB Bank opened the Hunt Valley 
Loan Office in Baltimore County, Maryland, which is a 
natural extension of the Bank’s footprint. This area’s 
vibrant  and  growing  business  sector,  coupled  with 
experienced commercial lenders, provided a strategic 
opportunity to leverage the Bank’s ability to contribute to 
the success of mid-sized companies and small businesses 
through proven customer relationship management and 
competitive products and services.

A  new  initiative  to  grow  core  deposits  and  to  build 
customer relationships was launched in October 2018. 
With the introduction of Advantage Rewards Checking 
for  personal  customers,  ACNB  Bank  furthered  its 
commitment to serving the financial needs of customers 
while  also  providing  benefits  and  rewards  to  assist 
customers  in  their  daily  lives.  Advantage  Rewards 
Checking benefits include cell phone protection, personal 
identity  theft  assistance,  roadside  assistance,  travel 
accidental death insurance, and savings on pharmacy, 
vision and hearing services. Plus, there are money-saving 
discounts from national retailers. But, most importantly, 
ACNB Bank worked with local businesses to provide Bank 
customers with rewards for shopping and dining locally—
all accessible via a convenient mobile app.

Competition remains keen in the banking industry for 
both loans and deposits. This competition encompasses 
local banks and credit unions, nonbank entities, and online 
providers of financial services. As with all community 
banks, the growth and quality of ACNB Bank’s loan 
and deposit portfolios is basic to the ongoing success 
of the organization and its commitment to safety and 
soundness for the benefit of all constituencies.

ACNB  Bank  employees  also  demonstrate  their 
commitment  every  day  through  volunteerism  and 
community involvement. In 2018, the Bank’s employees 
supported 186 community organizations by collectively 
contributing more than 7,000 volunteer hours in the 
Bank’s market areas. The community banking offices 

served as collection points for toys, school supplies, and 
food items to benefit local community organizations. 
Additionally, ACNB Bank employees delivered financial 
literacy presentations in 2018 to over 1,000 students and 
adults, educating them on the importance of developing 
sound financial skills for life.

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 
management totaled $231,514,000 at December 31, 2018, 
compared to $224,056,000 at December 31, 2017. 

Through a third-party relationship, ACNB Bank offers 
retail  brokerage  services,  including  non-deposit 
investment  products,  through  the  brands  of  ACNB 
Wealth Advisors and Windsor Wealth Advisors. Assets 
under management in the brokerage portfolio totaled 
$109,982,000  at  December  31,  2018,  compared  to 
$102,689,000 at December 31, 2017.

Total revenues from fiduciary, investment management 
and brokerage activities were $2,364,000 for the year 
ended December 31, 2018, up 17.5% in comparison to 
the year ended December 31, 2017, due to new business 
development  and  the  higher  levels  of  assets  under 
management in the Wealth Management Division. 

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, Carroll County, Maryland. It also conducts 
business at office locations in Germantown, Montgomery 
County, and Jarrettsville, Harford County, Maryland. 

Revenues  from  this  subsidiary’s  commissions  from 
insurance sales is the most significant source of other 
income  for  ACNB  Corporation.  Commissions  from 
insurance sales totaled $5,550,000 for the year of 2018, 
as compared to $5,024,000 for the year of 2017. The 
year-over-year rise of 10.5% is primarily attributable to 
increased commercial and personal lines commission 
income and higher contingent commissions received by 
the agency in 2018.

IN CLOSING
The Great Reunion of 1913 was the largest American Civil 
War veteran reunion ever. The Union and Confederate 
flags flew side by side as more than 50,000 Civil War 
veterans convened in Gettysburg to commemorate the 
50th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in July 
1913.  This  event  symbolizes  the  commitment  of  our 
nation to the ideals of equality and liberty for all citizens. 
Today, the mural at the Corporation’s Operations Center 
reproducing  this  time  past  on  Gettysburg’s  Lincoln 
Square serves as a tribute to these ideals, as well as 
a  reminder  of  ACNB  Corporation’s  long  history  of 
commitment to its shareholders, employees, customers, 
and communities served. 

Commitment is a pledge dependent upon people. At 
ACNB  Corporation,  we  are  indeed  thankful  for  the 
committed  people  who  serve  our  customers  every 
business day and who provide oversight on our Board 
of Directors. Likewise, we are grateful for your continued 
investment,  as  shareholders,  in  ACNB  Corporation’s 
future as we pursue our vision to be the independent 
financial services provider of choice in the core markets 
served by building relationships and finding solutions.

registered shareholders who elect to participate in the

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, 153,272 new shares of ACNB Corporation 
common stock, totaling approximately $3,300,000 in 
plan investments, 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 community banking subsidiary, 
ACNB Bank, operates in both southcentral Pennsylvania

completion of the acquisition of New Windsor Bancorp, 
Inc.  of  Taneytown,  Maryland,  and  its  wholly-owned 
subsidiary,  New  Windsor  State  Bank.  This  strategic 
market expansion across the Mason-Dixon Line resulted 
in entry to the desirable northern Maryland market of 
Carroll  County  adjacent  to  the  Bank’s  Pennsylvania 
footprint and in proximity to the Corporation’s other
