INSIGHTS FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

Franklin Financial Services Corporation ended 2018 with four 
quarters of strong core operating performance and begins 
2019 in a strong financial position. This has not come easily 
as 2018 was negatively impacted by an $11.1 million loss we 
reported on May 31, 2018 related to a participation loan in 
which it is believed that one or more officers and/or employees 
of the borrower committed fraud. Nevertheless, the corporation 
was able to finish the year with net income of $6.125 million and 
capital ratios that exceeded the benchmarks to be considered 
well-capitalized. Due to both strong core operations and a 
strong capital position, we were able to pay annual dividends 
to our shareholders of $1.05 per share, an increase of 12.9% 
when compared to 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2018 the average total 
commercial loan portfolio balance increased by 7.6% when 
compared to the previous year. We feel good about our 
portfolio growth, as we used 2018 to continue to rotate out 
of participation loans and invest more of our assets into 
commercial loans that we originate and manage. Over the last 
two years, we have reduced our exposure to participation loans 
in our commercial loan portfolio from 18% to 11.2% with the goal 
of bringing the percentage to or below 10%. We believe this 
is a prudent step to take – one which will result in better loan 
quality and returns for our company in the long-term. Had we 
not chosen to rotate out of our dependence on participation 
loans, our average commercial loan growth in 2018 would 
have been 12.5%. This tells me that our team of commercial 
relationship managers is effective in building strong 
customer relationships.

Our residential mortgage and retail lending balances saw 
decreases in 2018 as customers paid down their home 
equity loan balances and we began selling the majority of the 
residential mortgages that we originated. This change in our 
residential mortgage philosophy will allow us to generate more 
fee income in the future while reducing interest rate risk to the 
bank. This strategy also allows us to provide a greater variety of 
residential mortgage products to our customers, creating more 
opportunities for people to own their own home.

Timothy (Tim) G. Henry, President and CEO

2    ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Overall deposit growth was up 3.4% for the year as interest-
bearing checking and money market accounts grew by 
8.8% and 5.2% respectively, offset primarily by a decrease in 
certificate of deposit balances. Our move in 2017 to increase 
staffing in our Treasury department has meant that we have 
had more relationship managers working with our community 
office teams to focus on our deposit customers, resulting in 
successful growth in balances while controlling interest costs 
in a rising rate environment. The positive result of these efforts 
is that our Net Interest Margin (NIM) increased six basis points, 
from 3.72% to 3.78%, in 2018.

An important driver to the bank’s earnings is our Investment 
and Trust Services department that ended 2018 with total 
assets under management (AUM) of $807.0 million. While 
earnings can be affected from time to time by market 
fluctuations, when measured at cost the department grew its 
year-over-year AUM by 6.9%. Fee income increased by 5.6% to 
$5.7 million. During the year we added new talented people to 
the department and solidified our team working in the Greater 
Harrisburg/Capital Region --setting the stage for a good future 
for the bank’s Investment & Trust Services department. 

Taken as a whole, the bank’s non-interest income grew by 3.6% 
due primarily to growth in the previously mentioned Investment 
and Trust Services department and debit card income. This 
growth comes despite decreases in deposit service charges 
and fees -- in particular the usage of the bank’s overdraft 
protection program -- perhaps a sign of a stronger economy 
and better financial management by our customers.

Non-interest expense decreased in 2018 when compared 
with 2017, but that decrease was heavily influenced by the $10 
million reserve that was taken in 2017 in anticipation of settling 
a potential class action lawsuit. Salaries and benefits were up 
6.2% when compared to 2017 as we added key people to our 
team. Marketing expenses increased by $359 thousand over 
2017 as we continue our efforts to develop a strong presence 
in the Greater Harrisburg/Capital Region and the rest of our 
market footprint.

The bank made many advances in 2018 that will continue to 
support our growth into future years. Many of these changes 

are designed to bring the bank to our customers rather than 
asking them to come to us. As examples:

• We initiated our “Bank@Work” program which allows our 
  staff to go to where our customers are and open deposit  
  accounts electronically.

• We redesigned our website to provide more useful  
  information and to make it easier for our customers to access  
  and to transact business with the bank.

• We changed our bank’s website domain from “.com” to  
  “.bank” to enhance our customer’s online safety. Our website  
  can now be reached at fmtrust.bank .

• We launched our 24/7 call center (888-264-6116) to provide  
  daytime and after hours support to our customers when our  
  community offices are closed.

• We developed a new mobile checking product that provides  
  a higher rate of return with the ease and convenience of  
  mobile banking.

• We’ve improved our mobile banking app making it easier for  
  customers to access the features they want including mobile  
  deposits and person-to-person (P2P) transfer of funds through  
  People Pay.

• Due to the success of our “branch of the future” concept, 
  we are continuing to renovate community offices by  
  introducing teller pods that create a physical environment  
  that improves customer communication. In 2018, we  
  completed renovations at our Greencastle, Philadelphia  
  Avenue and Norland Avenue offices, and we have begun  
  renovations at our Shippensburg office. 

All of these initiatives tie into our new tagline “Banking Done 
Your Way” and the mindset we have to bring the bank to the 
customer where, when and how they want to interact with us. 
It excites us to develop these new programs and services that 
bring convenience and value to our customers.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS   3

INSIGHTS FROM OUR PRESIDENT cont.

We are taking care of our communities in other ways too. 
During 2018, we provided monetary donations to 225 
organizations in our service area and participated in 65 events 
with 194 volunteers from the bank giving over 2,250 hours of 
volunteer service.

from our successful listing on the Nasdaq. And I see the bank 
continuing to play an integral role in the communities we serve 
through donations, volunteer service and loans that support 
both the companies and individuals who create jobs and 
wealth for our communities.

I believe that we are doing a good job helping our customers 
and communities achieve their goals and that we are 
successfully contributing to the economic strength of South 
Central Pennsylvania.

Beyond improving the performance of the corporation, we are 
active in taking other steps to enhance the investment you, our 
shareholder, has made in the corporation. Last year I talked 
about our stock being “thinly traded” and explained that we 
were focusing on increasing the liquidity of our stock through 
investor presentations. While we continued our investor 
presentations in 2018, we indicated in our Current Report on 
Form 8-K filed on December 21, 2018 that we were applying to 
trade on the Nasdaq. I am pleased to report that our application 
was approved and that we anticipate beginning to trade on 
Nasdaq on, or about, May 1, 2019. Trading on the Nasdaq 
exchange will give our company greater visibility, and over time, 
we believe it will improve the liquidity of the stock.

ALL OF THESE INITIATIVES TIE INTO OUR 
NEW TAGLINE “BANKING DONE YOUR WAY” 
AND THE MINDSET WE HAVE TO BRING 
THE BANK TO THE CUSTOMER WHERE, 
WHEN AND HOW THEY WANT TO INTERACT 
WITH US

I continue to be appreciative of the opportunity to be the CEO 
and President of this great organization. We all know that 
one person cannot make the bank successful by their own 
actions. I am fortunate to be surrounded by an outstanding 
Board of Directors, Senior Management team and employees 
who are focused on the shareholder, the customer and our 
communities. I leave you with a glimpse of the foundation 
for our success -- our beliefs as expressed in our Mission 
Statement, Vision Statement and Core Values.

MISSION STATEMENT 
Delivering the right financial solutions … from people you know 
and trust.

VISION STATEMENT 
We are committed to remaining independent by growing 
our bank to meet the increasing needs of our customers, 
communities and shareholders. We will be the financial services 
leader in the markets we serve.

CORE VALUES 
We, the employees, officers and directors, are committed 
to the core values of integrity, teamwork, excellence, 
accountability, and a concern for our customers and the 
communities we serve.

Thank you for your support. I look forward to writing this letter 
to you again next year and sharing with you what great things 
happened in 2019.

I am excited about the prospects for our shareholders and the 
bank in 2019. I see us continuing to build loan and deposit 
market share in all of our markets through the effective use of 
technology, marketing and the abilities of our talented bankers 
to bring solutions to our customers. I also see our Investment 
and Trust Services department growing as we provide both 
individual and corporate trust services, including 401(k) 
programs, to our valued individual and commercial customers. 
Additionally, I see our shareholders benefiting in multiple ways 

Sincerely,

Timothy G. Henry

TO BE A RESPONSIBLE MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH 
THEY OPERATE AND TO PURSUE NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, 
ENSURING THE GROWTH OF THE COMPANY.

CARLISLE EVENTS
Carlisle, PA 

When Chip and Bill Miller hosted their first car show at the Carlisle 
Fairgrounds in 1974, they never could have envisioned the success 
that would be Carlisle Events.

Today, Carlisle is home to the largest car and truck collector events in 
the nation. More than half a million guests from around the world visit 
shows promoted by Carlisle Events annually. And now, Carlisle Events 
is giving car lovers another reason to visit the area.

The car show producer is redeveloping a 48-acre, vacant lot where 
a massive manufacturing facility previously stood. The mixed-use 
project will include a hotel; restaurants; retail and office spaces; 
a three-acre, public park with trails; and car condominiums. Car 
condominiums will have multiple-car garages as well as living spaces 
including bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms. 

“Working with F&M Trust has been great. They looked at our business 
model, pursued it and were aggressive in saying, ‘We believe in 
this project, and we will lend the money to make this happen,’” said 
Harold Brandt, Chief Financial Officer of Carlisle Events.

“THEY WERE AGGRESSIVE IN SAYING, ‘WE BELIEVE 
IN THIS PROJECT, AND WE WILL LEND THE MONEY 
TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.’”

HAROLD BRANDT
Chief Financial Officer, Carlisle Events

Partners since the project’s inception, Brandt, has enjoyed a strong 
relationship with F&M Trust and Dave Zimmerman, Senior Commercial 
Services Relationship Manager of F&M Trust. 

“The whole financing deal has definitely gone beyond what anyone 
could hope for. It’s a construction project, so there’s something that 
always pops up. If the project is delayed because of the weather, 
Dave is easy to talk to. He completely understands the constraints of 
construction,” said Brandt.

As the company continues to grow, F&M Trust will continue tailoring 
financial solutions to meet Carlisle Event’s unique needs – that’s 
banking done your way.

with. He understands what we’re doing, and that goes a long way,” 
said Nitterhouse.

Working in logistics, plans can change at any moment.

And Franklin Logistics and Development needs a bank that can keep 
up. That’s why they bank with F&M Trust.

“The flexibility that you have with F&M Trust is unmatched by its 
competitors,” said Colby Nitterhouse, president of the Chambersburg-
based logistics company.

Halfway through construction on a large warehouse, Franklin 
Logistics and Development was approached by a company that 
wanted to lease half of the building, resulting in a drastic last minute 
change to construction plans

The full-service, third-party logistics company provides a full range of 
warehousing, transportation and supply chain solutions for a growing 
number of domestic and international customers. Nitterhouse’s 
company, like F&M Trust, is willing to accommodate, and that, 
Nitterhouse said, is what sets both apart from their competitors. 

“With F&M Trust, we can present something to Steve, and maybe a 
larger bank would look at it pretty cut and dry, but F&M Trust still has 
that local touch and is willing to be creative,” said Nitterhouse.

No matter how many times plans change for Franklin Logistics and 
Development in the future, F&M Trust will continue to keep up.

Steve Butz, F&M Trust’s Commercial Services Market Manager, 
adjusted Franklin Logistics and Development’s financing, enabling 
them to customize the warehouse for their new tenant.

“THE FLEXIBILITY THAT YOU HAVE WITH F&M 
TRUST IS UNMATCHED BY ITS COMPETITORS” 

“By partnering with a solid bank that gives us the flexibility to grow, we 
can provide better service to our customers. Steve is good to work

F&M TRUST TRANSITIONS TO NEW  
.BANK DOMAIN

This year, F&M Trust introduced a new way to keep our customers a 
little safer.

With the launch of our new website in early October, we made the 
transition from a traditional .com domain to a .bank domain — a 
move that adds another layer of security for our online users and 
helps increase brand awareness. 

Of the 4,805 banks in the U.S., F&M Trust is one of 450 that are 
using the domain, which offers added protection against breaches 
and phishing attacks. 

The extension, which became widely available to banks in 2015, 
serves as a visual cue to customers and employees, signaling to 
them that the F&M Trust website is legitimate.

The adoption of the easily identifiable .bank domain shows our 
commitment to meet the evolving needs of our customers while 
continuing to optimize our digital offerings. 

The switch helps set F&M Trust apart from our competitors. We are 
the first bank in South Central Pennsylvania to make the transition.

F&M TRUST. A COMMUNITY BANK WITH A 
PASSION FOR OFFERING THE RIGHT FINANCIAL 
SOLUTIONS. THAT’S BANKING DONE YOUR WAY.

As it stands now, online scammers can create fake websites to 
attempt to steal information and money from consumers. By using 
numbers and misspellings, the websites can sometimes appear to 
be authentic. When consumers see the .bank domain, they can be 
certain the website is valid and secure.

Unlike the .com domain, only verified members of the banking 
community can be awarded a .bank domain. Every application for 
the domain undergoes a rigorous verification process before it can 
be approved.

The .bank domain is operated by fTLD — a coalition of banks, 
insurance companies and financial services trade associations from 
around the world — which helps to authenticate financial institutions.

Similar to the .gov domain for government entities or .edu for 
educational institutions, the .bank domain is a standardized, verified 
domain for financial institutions.

We are constantly looking for ways to protect our customers, 
and this transition is another step we have taken to keep our 
customers secure.

FAMILY DONE YOUR WAY

THEIR VALUES

THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY AND THEIR RESIDENTS 
IS PERSONAL, BECAUSE PENN NATIONAL IS THEIR HOME TOO. 

PENN NATIONAL COMMUNITY & GOLF CLUB
Fayetteville, PA 

If you ask Patti Nitterhouse, she’ll tell you that her business, Penn 
National Community & Golf Club, is more popular nationally than it is 
locally.

And that may be true – for now. The company — which includes the 
Penn Homes real estate development; a 48-room inn; a restaurant; 
and two public, 18-hole golf courses — has been recognized by 
several national publications for its hiking trails, golf courses and 
popularity among retirees. 

But the addition of the Black Oak Bar to its restaurant is quickly 
making it a local favorite. Its name honors the 173-year-old black oak 
tree that grew on their property until it fell in 2017.

And F&M Trust, which financed the addition, couldn’t be more excited 
about Penn National Community & Golf Club’s growth. 

“The people who we work with at the bank have become some of 
our biggest fans,” said Dennis Zimmerman, President of Penn National 
Community & Golf Club. “That’s such a great thing – to work with a 
bank that is really pulling for you.”

“OUR BUSINESS HAS A LOT OF MOVING PARTS, 
AND F&M TRUST REALLY TOOK THE TIME TO 
UNDERSTAND THESE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES.”

DENNIS ZIMMERMAN 
President, Penn National Community & Golf Club 

Founded in 1968 by Patti Nitterhouse’s father, T.K. Nitterhouse, Patti 
Nitterhouse and her husband, Dennis Zimmerman, took over the 
company in 1995. Since then, their son, Ted Zimmerman and daughter, 
Honor Zimmerman, have also joined the ranks. And they view Phil 
Pantano, Commercial Services Market Manager for Franklin, Fulton 
and Huntingdon counties at F&M Trust, as an integral part of their 
business team.

“We absolutely love Phil. He is there every step of the way, and it 
almost feels like he’s part of our team,” said Ted Zimmerman.

In addition to the close relationship F&M Trust and the Zimmerman 
family enjoy, something else sticks out to Dennis Zimmerman. 

“Our business has a lot of moving parts,” he said. “And F&M Trust really 
took the time to understand these different businesses.”

WE KNOW WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT THE COMMUNITY 
THAT SURROUNDS US. 

THE GRANT STREET LOFT
Chambersburg, PA 

It started with a simple goal: grow their small-scale café kiosks 
throughout Chambersburg.

Third generation owners of The Butcher Shoppe – a community 
grocery store – Anne and Leo Schoenhofen, needed a commercial 
kitchen to support the kiosks, also known as micro-markets. 

So, they purchased a 7,200-square-foot, two-story, brick warehouse 
with the intention of converting it into a kitchen. But when they saw 
the second floor, they knew they had to do something more with the 
space, noting that in the past, community members had asked Anne 
Schoenhofen to cater their weddings.

That’s when the couple dreamed up The Grant Street Loft – a new 
special event venue in Chambersburg. Financed by F&M Trust, the 
project involved renovating the building into a commercial kitchen on 
the first floor, a chic event center on the second level, and a trendy 
rooftop deck. 

“F&M Trust was excited about our growth. They were like, ‘Yeah, let’s 
do this. Let’s make this work.’ Not every bank does that. F&M Trust 
wanted to see what was next,” Anne Schoenhofen said.

“They understood our vision,” added Leo Schoenhofen. “And in the 
future, when we go to them and say, ‘Hey we have our next best 
idea,’ we know they will give it their full attention. And they will know 
that we’re going to get it done.”

Though they haven’t come up with their next idea yet, the 
Schoenhofens plan to pursue other business ventures in the future. 
Whatever they decide, one thing is certain: F&M Trust will be there to 
support them. 

“F&M TRUST WAS EXCITED ABOUT OUR 
GROWTH. THEY WERE LIKE, ‘YEAH, LET’S DO 
THIS. LET’S MAKE THIS WORK.’ NOT EVERY 
BANK DOES THAT. F&M TRUST WANTED TO 
SEE WHAT WAS NEXT.”

CLIENT PROFILE

VISION DONE YOUR WAY

THEIR MISSION

COMMITTED TO HELPING PEOPLE BE INTENTIONAL IN THEIR LIFE, 
WORK AND DEVELOPMENT. 

WAKEEN ENTERPRISE
Harrisburg, PA 

Jeff Wakeen never thought he would relocate his Mechanicsburg-
based business, Wakeen Enterprise, to Harrisburg. 

In fact, he had told his realtor not to even bother showing him his 
current Harrisburg office, which is located just a few blocks away from 
the State Capitol. 

That changed when he saw the space. 

“All of a sudden I thought, this is actually where we belong in our next 
level of growth,” said Wakeen. 

Wakeen Enterprise encompasses several businesses including a 
marketing firm, a strategic print placement firm, a female fitness club, 
a strategic consulting firm and a nonprofit. 

When he first partnered with F&M Trust, Wakeen said he had an idea 
of what financial solutions he needed for his business. But F&M Trust 
steered him in a different direction.

“It was a better solution because they’re the finance people. For 
them to have vision and understand number one, what we’re trying  

“THEY’RE A PARTNER. THEY’RE NOT JUST A BANK.”

JEFFREY WAKEEN 
Founder/CEO, Wakeen Enterprise (Wakeen & Company, 
Connection Mission, Wakeen Media Group, Wakeen Pages, 
Momentum Female Health & Fitness Club)

to accomplish and two, to be alongside us in our vision, is a very nice 
feeling which you don’t typically get out of banks. With F&M Trust, I 
feel a sense of family,” said Wakeen. 

He noted that F&M Trust has been a trusted partner as his company 
has evolved over the past few years — both in terms of offering 
financial solutions and in helping him understand where the business 
is financially. And the business will continue to evolve.

As F&M Trust also continues its expansion into the capital region, the 
bank will be there growing alongside Wakeen and supporting his 
vision.

“They’re excited about our vision. They can’t wait to see us succeed, 
and they can’t wait to be there for our next step,” Wakeen said. 
“They’re a partner. They’re not just a bank.”
