1 Dear Shareholders,
2020 was a challenging year in many ways. The pandemic caused a new way to operate for many business sectors including banking.
We addressed the challenges by working with our customer base to ensure their safety and long-term viability by offering PPP loans,
payment extensions, and our normal credit and deposit products with expanded e-commerce solutions. Notwithstanding the
challenging environment, our bank achieved strong financial performance. I would like to thank our employees who contributed
greatly to this success as they stepped up in very adverse conditions to ensure we maintained a high standard of service.
In 2020 we had strong balance sheet growth as many of our growth initiatives continued to pay dividends. Our entrance into Blair
County has produced strong results and we have built a great team to keep the momentum going. We expect to open another office in
the Bellefonte market of Centre County in early 2021. We continue to take a very hard look at our branch footprint and have plans to
consolidate and reposition our service points. We also will continue to invest in electronic banking solutions as consumer banking
habits continue to evolve.

BUSINESS
A. General Development of Business and History
PART I
On January 7, 1983, Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania as a bank holding company. In connection with the organization of the Corporation, Jersey Shore State Bank
("JSSB"), a Pennsylvania state-chartered bank, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. On June 1, 2013, the
Corporation acquired Luzerne Bank ("Luzerne") with Luzerne operating as a subsidiary of the Corporation (JSSB and Luzerne
are collectively referred to as the "Banks"). The Corporation’s two other wholly-owned subsidiaries are Woods Real Estate
Development Company, Inc. and Woods Investment Company, Inc. The Corporation is also a partner in United Insurance
Solutions, LLC. The Corporation’s business has consisted primarily of managing and supervising the Banks, and its principal
source of income has been dividends paid by the Banks and Woods Investment Company, Inc.
The Banks are engaged in commercial and retail banking which includes the acceptance of time, savings, and demand deposits,
the funding of commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans, and safe deposit services. Utilizing a branch office network, ATMs,
Internet, and telephone banking delivery channels, the Banks deliver their products and services to the communities they reside
in.
In October 2000, JSSB acquired The M Group, Inc. D/B/A The Comprehensive Financial Group (“The M Group”). The M
Group, which operates as a subsidiary of JSSB, offers insurance and securities brokerage services. Securities are offered by The
M Group through Voya Financial, a registered broker-dealer.
Neither the Corporation nor the Banks anticipate that compliance with environmental laws and regulations will have any
material effect on capital expenditures, earnings, or their competitive position. The Banks are not dependent on a single
customer or a few customers, the loss of whom would have a material effect on the business of the Banks.
As of December 31, 2020, JSSB employed 256 persons, Luzerne employed 76 persons, and The M Group employed 4 persons
in either a full-time or part-time capacity. The Corporation does not have any employees. The principal officers of the Banks
also serve as officers of the Corporation.
Woods Investment Company, Inc., a Delaware holding company, maintains an investment portfolio that is managed for total
return and to fund dividend payments by the Corporation.
Woods Real Estate Development Company, Inc. serves the Corporation through its acquisition and ownership of certain
properties utilized by the Banks.
United Insurance Solutions, LLC offers property and casualty and auto insurance products within the Corporation's market
footprint.
We post publicly available reports required to be filed with the SEC on our website, www.pwod.com, as soon as reasonably
practicable after filing such reports with the SEC. The required reports are available free of charge through our website.
Information available on our website is not part of or incorporated by reference into this Report or any other report filed by this
Corporation with the SEC.
B. Regulation and Supervision
The Corporation is a registered bank holding company and, as such is subject to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”) and to supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the “FRB”). During 2017, the Corporation elected to become a financial holding company under the BHCA and the
regulations of the FRB. The Banks are also subject to the supervision and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the “FDIC”), as their primary federal regulator and as the insurer of the Banks' deposits. The Banks are also
regulated and examined by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (the “Department”).
The insurance activities of The M Group are subject to regulation by the insurance departments of the various states in which
The M Group conducts business, including principally the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance. The securities brokerage
activities of The M Group are subject to regulation by federal and state securities commissions.
14
The insurance activities of United Insurance Solutions, LLC are subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of
Insurance.
The FRB has issued regulations under the BHCA that require a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and
managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. As a result, the FRB, pursuant to such regulations, may require the Corporation to
stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital funds to the Banks during periods of financial stress or adversity.
The BHCA requires the Corporation to secure the prior approval of the FRB before it can acquire all or substantially all of the
assets of any bank, or acquire ownership or control of 5% or more of any voting shares of any bank. Such a transaction would
also require approval of the Department.
A bank holding company is prohibited under the BHCA from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of, more than
5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities unless the FRB, by order or regulation, has found
such activities to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Under the
BHCA, the FRB has the authority to require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a non-
bank subsidiary (other than a non-bank subsidiary of a bank) upon the FRB’s determination that such activity or control
constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.
In July 2013, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted revisions to the agencies’ capital adequacy guidelines and prompt
corrective action rules, which were designed to enhance such requirements and implement the revised standards of the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly referred to as Basel III. The final rules generally implement higher minimum
capital requirements, add a new common equity tier 1 capital requirement, and establish criteria that instruments must meet to
be considered common equity tier 1 capital, additional tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital. The current minimum capital requirements
are a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% (6.5% to be considered “well capitalized”), a tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%; (8.0%
to be considered “well capitalized”), and a total capital ratio of 8.0% (10.0% to be considered “well capitalized”). In order to
avoid limitations on capital distributions (including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive
officers), as of January 1, 2019, a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer comprised of common equity
tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets.
In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the FRB requires each bank holding company to comply with the leverage ratio,
under which the bank holding company must maintain a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets of
4.0% (5.0% to be considered "well capitalized"). The Banks are subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the FDIC.
As noted in the discussion below relating Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, the FRB,
effective August 30, 2018, raised the threshold of its "Small Bank Holding Company" exception to the application of
consolidated capital requirements for qualifying small bank holding companies from $1 billion to $3 billion of consolidated
assets. Consequently, qualifying bank holding companies having less than $3 billion of consolidated assets are not subject to the
consolidated capital requirements unless otherwise directed by the FRB.
Dividends
Federal and state laws impose limitations on the payment of dividends by the Banks. The Pennsylvania Banking Code and the
policies of the FDIC and the Department generally encourage the Banks to pay dividends from current net income and retained
earnings. The Pennsylvania Banking Code restricts the availability of capital funds for payment of dividends by the Banks to
their additional paid-in capital.
In addition to the dividend restrictions described above, the banking regulators have the authority to prohibit or to limit the
payment of dividends by the Banks if, in the banking regulator’s opinion, payment of a dividend would constitute an unsafe or
unsound practice in light of the financial condition of the Banks.
Under Pennsylvania law, the Corporation may not pay a dividend, if, after giving effect thereto, it would be unable to pay its
debts as they become due in the usual course of business and, after giving effect to the dividend, the total assets of the
Corporation would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the Corporation were to
be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose rights are
superior to those receiving the dividend.
It is also the policy of the FRB that a bank holding company generally may only pay dividends on common stock out of net
income available to common shareholders over the past twelve months and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention
appears consistent with a bank holding company’s capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition. A bank holding
15
company also should not maintain a dividend level that places undue pressure on the capital of such institution’s subsidiaries, or
that may undermine the bank holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength for such subsidiaries.
C. Regulation of the Banks
The Banks are highly regulated by the FDIC and the Department. The laws that such agencies enforce limit the specific types
of businesses in which the Banks may engage, and the products and services that the Banks may offer to customers. Generally,
these limitations are designed to protect the insurance fund of the FDIC and/or the customers of the Banks, and not the Banks or
their shareholders. From time to time, various types of new federal and state legislation have been proposed that could result in
additional regulation of, and restrictions on, the business of the Banks. It cannot be predicted whether any such legislation will
be adopted or how such legislation would affect business of the Banks. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of
commercial banking activities in the United States, the Banks' business is particularly susceptible to being affected by federal
legislation and regulations that may increase the costs of doing business. Some of the major regulatory provisions that affect
the business of the Banks are discussed briefly below.
Prompt Corrective Action
The FDIC has specified the levels at which an insured institution will be considered “well-capitalized,” “adequately
capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized.” In the event an institution’s capital deteriorates to the
“undercapitalized” category or below, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”) and FDIC regulations prescribe an
increasing amount of regulatory intervention, including: (1) the institution of a capital restoration plan by a bank and a
guarantee of the plan by a parent institution and liability for civil money damages for failure to fulfill its commitment on that
guarantee; and (2) the placement of a hold on increases in assets, number of branches, or lines of business. If capital has
reached the significantly or critically undercapitalized levels, further material restrictions can be imposed, including restrictions
on interest payable on accounts, dismissal of management and (in critically undercapitalized situations) appointment of a
receiver. For well-capitalized institutions, the FDIA provides authority for regulatory intervention where the institution is
deemed to be engaging in unsafe or unsound practices or receives a less than satisfactory examination report rating for asset
quality, management, earnings or liquidity.
Deposit Insurance
The FDIC maintains the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium. The FDIC
insures deposit accounts up to $250,000 per depositor.
Under the FDIC's risk-based assessment system, insured institutions were previously assigned one of four risk categories based
on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors. An institution's assessment rate depended largely
on the category to which it was assigned, with institutions deemed less risky paying lower FDIC deposit insurance premiums.
The Dodd-Frank Act required the FDIC to revise its procedures to base deposit insurance assessments on each insured
institution's total assets less tangible equity instead of deposits and also mandated that the Deposit Insurance Fund achieve a
reserve ratio of 1.35% of insured deposits by September 2020. Assessment rates for most banks are based on certain financial
measures and supervisory ratings derived from statistical modeling estimating the probability of failure over three years, and
also set maximum rates for institutions with composite CAMELS ratings of 1 or 2 and minimum rates for other institutions.
The total base assessment range (after possible adjustments) for most banks is currently 1.5 basis points to 30 basis points.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
The Banks are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (the “FHLB”), which is one of 12 regional Federal
Home Loan Banks. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned
region. It is funded primarily from funds deposited by member institutions and proceeds from the sale of consolidated
obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies
and procedures established by the board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank. At December 31, 2020, the Banks had
$148,000,000 in FHLB advances.
As a member, the Banks are required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB. The amount of required stock varies based
on the FHLB products utilized by the Banks and the amount of the products utilized. At December 31, 2020, the Banks had
$14,872,000 in stock of the FHLB, which was in compliance with this requirement.
16
Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018
In May 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Regulatory Relief Act”), amended
certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as certain other statutes administered by the federal banking agencies. Some
of the key provisions of the Regulatory Relief Act as it relates to community banks and bank holding companies include: (i)
designating mortgages held in portfolio as “qualified mortgages” for banks with less than $10 billion in assets, subject to certain
documentation and product limitations; (ii) exempting banks with less than $10 billion in assets (and total trading assets and
trading liabilities of 5% or less of total assets) from Volcker Rule requirements relating to proprietary trading; (iii) simplifying
capital calculations for banks with less than $10 billion in assets by requiring federal banking agencies to establish a community
bank leverage ratio of tangible equity to average consolidated assets of not less than 8% or more than 10%, and provide that
banks that maintain tangible equity in excess of such ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with risk-based capital and
leverage requirements; (iv) assisting smaller banks with obtaining stable funding by providing an exception for reciprocal
deposits from FDIC restrictions on acceptance of brokered deposits; (v) raising the eligibility for use of short-form Call Reports
from $1 billion to $5 billion in assets; (vi) clarifying definitions pertaining to high volatility commercial real estate loans
(HVCRE), which require higher capital allocations, so that only loans with increased risk are subject to higher risk weightings;
and (vii) changing the eligibility for use of the small bank holding company policy statement from institutions with under $1
billion in assets to institutions with under $3 billion in assets.
One provision of the Regulatory Relief Act directed the federal banking agencies to develop a community bank leverage ratio
(“CBLR”) of not less than 8% and not more than 10% for qualifying community banks and bank holding companies with total
consolidated assets of less than $10 billion. Qualifying community banking organizations that exceed the CBLR level
established by the agencies, and that elect to be covered by the CBLR framework, will be considered to have met: (i) the
generally applicable leverage and risk-based capital requirements under the banking agencies’ capital rules; (ii) the capital ratio
requirements necessary to be considered “well capitalized” under the banking agencies’ prompt corrective action framework in
the case of insured depository institutions; and (iii) any other applicable capital or leverage requirements. Under the applicable
rules, a qualifying community banking organization has the option to elect the CBLR framework if its CBLR is greater than 9%
and it has off-balance sheet exposures of 25% or less of consolidated assets, and trading assets and liabilities of 5% or less of
total consolidated assets. The leverage ratio for purposes of the CBLR is calculated as Tier I capital divided by average total
assets, consistent with the manner banking organizations calculate the leverage ratio under generally applicable capital rules.
For institutions that fall below the 9% capital requirement but remain above 8%, are allowed a two quarter grace period to
either meet the qualifying criteria again or to comply with the generally applicable capital rules. As a result of the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, during 2020 the CBLR was reduced to 8.0% for the remainder of 2020 and set at 8.5%
for 2021.
The Corporation has not elected at this time to utilize the CBLR framework. The Corporation does not believe, however, that
the changes resulting from the Regulatory Relief Act will materially impact the Corporation’s business, operations, or financial
results.
Other Legislation
The 2010 Dodd-Frank Act made significant changes to the bank regulatory structure and affects the lending, deposit,
investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act, among
other things: (i) expands the authority of the FRB to examine bank holding companies and their subsidiaries, including insured
depository institutions; (ii) requires a bank holding company to be well capitalized and well managed to receive approval of an
interstate bank acquisition; (iii) provides mortgage reform provisions regarding a customer’s ability to pay and making more
loans subject to provisions for higher-cost loans and new disclosures; (iv) creates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(the “CFPB”) that has rule making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and has broad
powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws; (v) introduces additional corporate governance and executive
compensation requirements on public companies subject to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, such as the Corporation;
(vi) permits FDIC-insured banks to pay interest on business demand deposits; (vii) requires that holding companies and other
companies that directly or indirectly control an insured depository institution serve as a source of financial strength to that
institution; (viii) makes permanent the $250,000 limit for federal deposit insurance at all insured depository institutions; and
(ix) permits national and state banks to establish interstate branches to the same extent as the branch host state allows
establishment of in-state branches.
The Dodd-Frank Act also created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad powers to supervise and enforce
consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of
consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive
or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all
17 banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in
assets such as the Banks will continue to be examined for compliance with the consumer laws by their primary bank regulators.
The Dodd-Frank Act also weakens the federal preemption rules that have been applicable for national banks and federal savings
associations, and gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce federal consumer protection laws.
Under the Bank Secrecy Act, a financial institution is required to have systems in place to detect certain types of transactions,
based on the size and nature of the transaction. Financial institutions are generally required to report cash transactions
involving more than $10,000 to the United States Treasury. In addition, financial institutions are required to file suspicious
activity reports for transactions that involve more than $5,000 and that the financial institution knows, suspects or has reason to
suspect, involves illegal funds, is designed to evade the requirements of the law, or has no lawful purpose.
Under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism
Act, commonly referred to as the “USA PATRIOT Act,” financial institutions are subject to prohibitions against specified
financial transactions and account relationships, as well as enhanced due diligence standards intended to detect, and prevent, the
use of the United States financial system for money laundering and terrorist financing activities. The Patriot Act requires
financial institutions, including banks, to establish anti-money laundering programs, including employee training and
independent audit requirements, meet minimum specified standards, follow minimum standards for customer identification and
maintenance of customer identification records.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted to enhance penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded
companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures under the federal
securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies, including the Corporation, that file or are required
to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the
Exchange Act. The legislation includes provisions, among other things, governing the services that can be provided by a public
company’s independent auditors and the procedures for approving such services, requiring the chief executive officer and
principal accounting officer to certify certain matters relating to the company’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act,
requiring expedited filings of reports by insiders of their securities transactions and containing other provisions relating to
insider conflicts of interest, increasing disclosure requirements relating to critical financial accounting policies and their
application, increasing penalties for securities law violations, and creating a new public accounting oversight board, a
regulatory body subject to SEC jurisdiction with broad powers to set auditing, quality control, and ethics standards for
accounting firms. In response to the legislation, the national securities exchanges and NASDAQ, adopted new rules relating to
certain governance matters, including the independence of members of a company’s audit committee as a condition to listing or
continued listing.
Congress is often considering financial industry legislation, and the federal banking agencies routinely propose new
regulations. The Corporation cannot predict how any new legislation, or new rules adopted by federal or state banking
agencies, may affect the business of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in the future.
Environmental Laws
Environmentally related hazards have become a source of high risk and potential liability for financial institutions relating to
their loans. Environmentally contaminated properties owned by an institution’s borrowers may result in a drastic reduction in
the value of the collateral securing the institution’s loans to such borrowers, high environmental clean up costs to the borrower
affecting its ability to repay the loans, the subordination of any lien in favor of the institution to a state or federal lien securing
clean up costs, and liability to the institution for clean up costs if it forecloses on the contaminated property or becomes
involved in the management of the borrower. The Corporation is not aware of any borrower who is currently subject to any
environmental investigation or clean up proceeding which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition
or results of operations of the Corporation.
Effect of Government Monetary Policies
The earnings of the Corporation are and will be affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies
of the United States Government and its agencies. The monetary policies of the FRB have had, and will likely continue to
have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks through its power to implement national monetary
policy in order, among other things, to curb inflation or combat a recession. The FRB has a major effect upon the levels of
bank loans, investments, and deposits through its open market operations in the United States Government securities and
through its regulation of, among other things, the discount rate on borrowings by member banks and the reserve requirements
against member bank deposits. It is not possible to predict the nature and impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal
policies.
18 DESCRIPTION OF THE BANKS
History and Business
JSSB was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a state bank in 1934 and became a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Corporation on July 12, 1983. As of December 31, 2020, JSSB had total assets of $1,305,516,000;
total shareholders’ equity of $104,753,000; and total deposits of $1,044,288,000. JSSB's deposits are insured by the FDIC for
the maximum amount provided under current law.
Luzerne was acquired by the Corporation on June 1, 2013. As of December 31, 2020, Luzerne had total assets of
$528,223,000; total shareholders’ equity of $55,520,000; and total deposits of $451,681,000. Luzerne's deposits are insured by
the FDIC for the maximum amount provided under current law.
The Banks engage in business as commercial banks, doing business at locations in Lycoming, Clinton, Centre, Montour, Union,
Blair, and Luzerne Counties, Pennsylvania. The Banks offer insurance, securities brokerage services, annuity and mutual fund
investment products, and financial planning through the M Group.
Services offered by the Banks include accepting time, demand and savings deposits including Super NOW accounts, statement
savings accounts, money market accounts, and fixed rate certificates of deposit. Their services also include making secured and
unsecured business and consumer loans that include financing commercial transactions as well as construction and residential
mortgage loans and revolving credit loans with overdraft protection.
The Banks' loan portfolio mix can be classified into three principal categories: commercial and agricultural, real estate, and
consumer. Real estate loans can be further segmented into residential, commercial, and construction. Qualified borrowers are
defined by our loan policy and our underwriting standards. Owner provided equity requirements range from 0% to 35%,
depending on the collateral offered for the loan. Terms are generally restricted to 30 years or less with the exception of
construction and land development, which are generally limited to one and five years, respectively. Real estate appraisals,
property construction verifications, and site visitations comply with our loan policy and with industry regulatory standards.
Prospective residential mortgage customer’s repayment ability is determined from information contained in the application and
recent income tax returns, or other verified income sources. Emphasis is on credit, employment, income, and residency
verification. Broad hazard insurance is always required and flood insurance where applicable. In the case of construction
mortgages, builders risk insurance is requested.
Agricultural loans for the purchase or improvement of real estate must meet the Banks' real estate underwriting criteria.
Agricultural loans made for the purchase of equipment are usually payable in five years, but never more than ten, depending
upon the useful life of the purchased asset. Minimum borrower equity ranges from 0% to 35% depending on the purpose.
Livestock financing criteria depends upon the nature of the operation. Agricultural loans are also made for crop production
purposes. Such loans are structured to repay within the production cycle and not carried over into a subsequent year.
Commercial loans are made for the acquisition and improvement of real estate, purchase of equipment, and for working capital
purposes on a seasonal or revolving basis. General purpose working capital loans are also available with repayment expected
within one year. Equipment loans are generally amortized over three to ten years. Insurance coverage with the Banks as loss
payee is required, especially in the case where the equipment is rolling stock. It is also a general policy to collateralize non-real
estate loans with the asset purchased and, depending upon loan terms, junior liens are filed on other available assets. Financial
information required on all commercial mortgages includes the most current three years balance sheets and income statements
and projections on income to be developed through the project. In the case of corporations and partnerships, the principals are
often asked to personally guaranty the entity’s debt.
Seasonal and revolving lines of credit are offered for working capital purposes. Collateral for such a loan may vary but often
includes the pledge of inventory and/or receivables. Drawing availability is usually 50% of inventory and 80% of eligible
receivables. Eligible receivables are defined as invoices less than 90 days delinquent. Exclusive reliance is very seldom placed
on such collateral; therefore, other lienable assets are also taken into the collateral pool. Where reliance is placed on inventory
and accounts receivable, the applicant must provide financial information including agings on a specified basis. In addition, the
guaranty of the principals is usually obtained.
Letter of credit availability is usually limited to standby or performance letters of credit where the customer is well known to
the Banks. The credit criteria is the same as that utilized in making a direct loan. Collateral is obtained in most cases.
19
Consumer loan products include residential mortgages, home equity loans and lines, automobile financing, personal loans and
lines of credit, overdraft and check lines. Our policy includes standards used in the industry on debt service ratios and terms are
consistent with prudent underwriting standards and the use of proceeds. Verifications are made of employment and residency,
along with credit history.
Second mortgages are confined to equity borrowing and home improvements. Terms are generally fifteen years or less. Loan
to collateral value criteria is 90% or less and verifications are made to determine values. Automobile financing is generally
restricted to five years and done on both an indirect and direct basis. The Banks, as a practice, do not floor plan and therefore
do not discount dealer paper. Small loan requests are to accommodate personal needs such as debt consolidation or the
purchase of small appliances. Overdraft check lines are usually limited to $5,000 or less.
The Banks' investment portfolios are analyzed and priced on a monthly basis. Investments are made in U.S. Treasuries, U.S.
Agency issues, bank qualified tax-exempt municipal bonds, taxable municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and corporate stocks
which consist of Pennsylvania bank stocks. Bonds with BBB or better ratings are used, unless a local issue is purchased that
has a lesser or no rating. Factors taken into consideration when investments are purchased include liquidity, the Corporation’s
tax position, tax equivalent yield, third party investment ratings, and the policies of the Asset/Liability Committee.
The banking environment in Lycoming, Clinton, Centre, Montour, Union, Blair, and Luzerne Counties, Pennsylvania is highly
competitive. The Banks operate twenty-seven full service offices in these markets and compete for loans and deposits with
numerous commercial banks, savings and loan associations, and other financial institutions. The economic base of the region is
developed around small business, health care, educational facilities (college and public schools), light manufacturing industries,
and agriculture.
The Banks have a relatively stable deposit base and no material amount of deposits is obtained from a single depositor or group
of depositors, excluding public entities that account for approximately 8% of total deposits. Although the Banks have regular
opportunities to bid on pools of funds of $100,000 or more in the hands of municipalities, hospitals, and others, it does not rely
on these monies to fund loans or intermediate or longer-term investments.
The Banks have not experienced any significant seasonal fluctuations in the amount of deposits. The Banks have experienced
an outflow of deposits related to municipalities and school districts due to the ongoing Commonwealth of Pennsylvania budget
impasse.
Supervision and Regulation
As referenced elsewhere, the banking business is highly regulated, and the Banks are only able to engage in business activities,
and to provide products and services, that are permitted by applicable law and regulation. In addition, the earnings of the Banks
are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities including the FDIC and the FRB. An important function of the FRB is to
regulate the money supply and interest rates. Among the instruments used to implement these objectives are open market
operations in U.S. Government Securities, changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits, and limitations on
interest rates that member banks may pay on time and savings deposits. These instruments are used in varying combinations to
influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, and their use may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for
deposits.
The policies and regulations of the FRB have had and will probably continue to have a significant effect on the Banks' deposits,
loans and investment growth, as well as the rate of interest earned and paid, and are expected to affect the Banks' operation in
the future. The effect of such policies and regulations upon the future business and earnings of the Banks cannot accurately be
predicted.
20
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
The following sets forth several risk factors that may affect the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations.
Changes in interest rates could reduce our income, cash flows and asset values.
Our income and cash flows and the value of our assets depend to a great extent on the difference between the interest rates we
earn on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the interest rates we pay on interest-bearing
liabilities such as deposits and borrowings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond our control,
including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, will
influence not only the interest we receive on our loans and investment securities and the amount of interest we pay on deposits
and borrowings but will also affect our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits and the value of our investment portfolio.
If the rate of interest we pay on our deposits and other borrowings increases more than the rate of interest we earn on our loans
and other investments, our net interest income, and therefore our earnings, could be adversely affected. Our earnings also could
be adversely affected if the rates on our loans and other investments fall more quickly than those on our deposits and other
borrowings.
Uncertainty relating to the expected phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) in 2021 may adversely
affect us.
LIBOR has been used extensively in the United States as a reference rate for various financial contracts, including adjustable-
rate loans, asset-backed securities, and interest rate swaps. In 2017, the Chief Executive of the United Kingdom Financial
Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that the FCA will not compel panel banks to submit rates for the
calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The announcement means that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot be
guaranteed after 2021. At this time, no consensus exists as to what rate or rates may become acceptable alternatives to LIBOR,
and it is impossible to predict the effect of any such alternatives on the value of LIBOR-based variable rate loans and other
securities or financial arrangements, given LIBOR's current role in determining market interest rates globally. The uncertainty
as to the nature and effect of such reforms and actions relating to the discontinuance of LIBOR may adversely affect the value
of and return on certain of our financial assets and liabilities that are based on or are linked to LIBOR, which may adversely
affect the Company's results of operations or financial condition. In addition, LIBOR-related reforms may also require changes
to the agreements that govern these LIBOR-based products, as well as our internal systems and processes.
Economic conditions either nationally or locally in areas in which our operations are concentrated may adversely affect
our business.
Deterioration in local, regional, national, or global economic conditions could cause us to experience a reduction in deposits and
new loans, an increase in the number of borrowers who default on their loans, and a reduction in the value of the collateral
securing their loans, all of which could adversely affect our performance and financial condition. Unlike larger banks that are
more geographically diversified, we provide banking and financial services locally. Therefore, we are particularly vulnerable to
adverse local economic conditions.
The COVID-19 pandemic, and the measures taken to control its spread, will continue to adversely impact our
employees, customers, business operations and financial results, and the ultimate impact will depend on future
developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and is likely to continue to impact the national economy and the regional and local
markets in which we operate, lower equity market valuations, create significant volatility and disruption in capital and debt
markets, and increase unemployment levels. Our business operations may be disrupted if significant portions of our workforce
are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection
with the pandemic. We are subject to heightened cybersecurity, information security and operational risks as a result of work-
from-home arrangements that we have put in place for our employees. Federal Reserve actions to combat the economic
contraction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including reductions of the target federal funds rate, could, if prolonged,
adversely affect our net interest income and margins, and our profitability. Closures of businesses and the institution of social
distancing, shelter in place and stay home orders in the communities we serve, have reduced business activity and financial
transactions. While certain of these restrictions have been eased and workplaces in the communities we serve are beginning to
reopen, the pace of reopening is measured, and these government policies and directives are subject to change as the effects and
spread of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve. Changes in customer behavior due to worsening business and economic
conditions or legislative or regulatory initiatives may impact the demand for our products and services, which could adversely
21
affect our revenue, increase the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and increase our allowance for credit losses.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact our business, results of operations, and financial
condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, including the scope and
duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic, as
well as further actions we may take as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests
of our employees and customers. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the
pandemic.
Many of our loans are secured, in whole or in part, with real estate collateral which is subject to declines in value.
In addition to considering the financial strength and cash flow characteristics of a borrower, we often secure our loans with real
estate collateral. Real estate values and the real estate market are generally affected by, among other things, changes in local,
regional or national economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of loans to potential purchasers,
changes in tax laws and other governmental statutes, regulations and policies, and acts of nature. The real estate collateral
provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower. If real estate prices in our markets decline,
the value of the real estate collateral securing our loans could be reduced. If we are required to liquidate real estate collateral
securing loans during a period of reduced real estate values to satisfy the debt, our earnings and capital could be adversely
affected.
Our information systems may experience an interruption or breach in security.
We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business. Any failure, interruption or breach in
security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in our customer-relationship management, general ledger,
deposit, loan and other systems. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure,
interruption or security breach of our information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failures, interruptions or
security breaches will not occur; or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures,
interruptions or security breaches of our information systems could damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business,
subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability; any of which could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We face the risk of cyber-attack to our computer systems.
Our computer systems, software and networks have been and will continue to be vulnerable to unauthorized access, loss or
destruction of data (including confidential client information), account takeovers, unavailability of service, computer viruses or
other malicious code, cyber-attacks and other events. These threats may derive from human error, fraud or malice on the part of
employees or third parties, or may result from accidental technological failure. If one or more of these events occurs, it could
result in the disclosure of confidential client information, damage to our reputation with our clients and the market, additional
costs to us (such as repairing systems or adding new personnel or protection technologies), regulatory penalties and financial
losses, to both us and our clients and customers. Such events could also cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations
(such as the lack of availability of our online banking system), as well as the operations of our clients, customers or other third
parties. Although we maintain safeguards to protect against these risks, there can be no assurance that we will not suffer losses
in the future that may be material in amount.
Competition may decrease our growth or profits.
We face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of different competitors, including commercial
banks, savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, credit unions, consumer finance companies, factoring companies,
leasing companies, insurance companies, and money market mutual funds. There is very strong competition among financial
services providers in our principal service area. Our competitors may have greater resources, higher lending limits, or larger
branch systems than we do. Accordingly, they may be able to offer a broader range of products and services as well as better
pricing for those products and services than we can.
In addition, some of the financial services organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation
as is imposed on federally insured financial institutions. As a result, those non-bank competitors may be able to access funding
and provide various services more easily or at less cost than we can, adversely affecting our ability to compete effectively.
22 The value of certain investment securities is volatile and future declines or other-than-temporary impairments could
materially adversely affect our future earnings and regulatory capital.
Continued volatility in the market value for certain of our investment securities, whether caused by changes in market
perceptions of credit risk, as reflected in the expected market yield of the security, or actual defaults in the portfolio could result
in significant fluctuations in the value of the securities. This could have a material adverse impact on our accumulated other
comprehensive income/loss and shareholders’ equity depending on the direction of the fluctuations. Furthermore, future
downgrades or defaults in these securities could result in future classifications of investment securities as other than temporarily
impaired. This could have a material impact on our future earnings.
We may be adversely affected by government regulation.
The banking industry is heavily regulated. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect the federal deposit insurance
funds and depositors, not shareholders. Changes in the laws, regulations, and regulatory practices affecting the banking
industry may increase our costs of doing business or otherwise adversely affect us and create competitive advantages for others.
Regulations affecting banks and financial services companies undergo continuous change, and we cannot predict the ultimate
effect of these changes, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability or financial condition.
The potential exists for additional federal or state laws and regulations, or changes in policy, affecting many aspects of our
operations, including capital levels, lending and funding practices, and liquidity standards. New laws and regulations may
increase our costs of regulatory compliance and of doing business and otherwise affect our operations, and may significantly
affect the markets in which we do business, the markets for and value of our loans and investments, the fees we can charge and
our ongoing operations, costs and profitability.
We rely on our management and other key personnel, and the loss of any of them may adversely affect our operations.
We are and will continue to be dependent upon the services of our executive management team. In addition, we will continue to
depend on our ability to retain and recruit key commercial loan officers. The unexpected loss of services of any key
management personnel or commercial loan officers could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition
because of their skills, knowledge of our market, years of industry experience, and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified
replacement personnel.
Environmental liability associated with lending activities could result in losses.
In the course of our business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing our loans. If hazardous substances were
discovered on any of these properties, we could be liable to governmental entities or third parties for the costs of remediation of
the hazard, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Many environmental laws can impose liability regardless of
whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the contamination. In addition, if we arrange for the disposal of hazardous or
toxic substances at another site, we may be liable for the costs of cleaning up and removing those substances from the site even
if we neither own nor operate the disposal site. Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may
materially limit use of properties we acquire through foreclosure, reduce their value or limit our ability to sell them in the event
of a default on the loans they secure. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with
respect to existing laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability.
Failure to implement new technologies in our operations may adversely affect our growth or profits.
The market for financial services, including banking services and consumer finance services, is increasingly affected by
advances in technology, including developments in telecommunications, data processing, computers, automation, Internet-
based banking, and telebanking. Our ability to compete successfully in our markets may depend on the extent to which we are
able to exploit such technological changes. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to properly or timely
anticipate or implement such technologies or properly train our staff to use such technologies. Any failure to adapt to new
technologies could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.
23 The Corporation is required to adopt the FASB's accounting standard which requires measurement of certain financial
assets (including loans) using the current expected credit losses (CECL) beginning in calendar year 2023.
Current GAAP requires an incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a
loss has been incurred. The FASB's amendment replaces the current incurred loss methodology with a methodology that
reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonableness and supportable information to
inform credit loss estimates. The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the
Corporation's financial statements; however, it is anticipated that the allowance for loan losses will increase upon the adoption
of CECL and that the increased allowance level will have the effect of decreasing shareholders' equity and the Corporation's
and Bank's regulatory capital ratios.
An investment in our common stock is not an insured deposit.
Our common stock is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured against loss by the FDIC, any other deposit insurance
fund, or by any other public or private entity. Investment in our common stock is subject to the same market forces that affect
the price of common stock in any company.

The Corporation has paid dividends since the effective date of its formation as a bank holding company. It is the present
intention of the Corporation’s board of directors to continue the dividend payment policy; however, further dividends must
necessarily depend upon earnings, financial condition, appropriate legal restrictions, and other factors relevant at the time the
board of directors of the Corporation considers dividend policy. Cash available for dividend distributions to shareholders of the
Corporation primarily comes from dividends paid by Jersey Shore State Bank and Luzerne Bank to the Corporation. Therefore,
the restrictions on the Banks' dividend payments are directly applicable to the Corporation. See also the information appearing
in Note 19 to “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to dividend restrictions.
Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 a corporation may not pay a dividend, if after giving effect thereto,
the corporation would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business and after giving effect
thereto the total assets of the corporation would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed,
if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of the
shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the dividend.
As of March 1, 2021, the Corporation had approximately 3,732 shareholders of record.
Following is a schedule of the shares of the Corporation’s common stock purchased by the Corporation during the fourth

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net interest income is determined by calculating the difference between the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the
rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. To compare the tax-exempt asset yields to taxable yields, amounts are adjusted to
taxable equivalents based on the marginal corporate federal tax rate of 21%. The tax equivalent adjustments to net interest
income for 2020, 2019, and 2018 were $476,000, $489,000, and $700,000, respectively.
2020 vs. 2019
Reported net interest income decreased $2,592,000 to $48,223,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year
ended December 31, 2019, as the growth in the earning asset portfolio was offset by a decrease in the yield on earning assets to
3.80% from 4.33%. Total interest income decreased $4,136,000 primarily from a decrease in the tax equivalent yield on the
loan portfolio decreasing 16 basis points ("bp") coupled with a decrease in the average balance of the loan portfolio of
$26,382,000. Tax equivalent interest income on the investment portfolio decreased $688,000 as the yield on the investment
portfolio decreased 65 bp. The decrease in the yield on the earning asset portfolio was driven by the impact of the continued
low interest rate environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Interest expense decreased $1,544,000 to $14,415,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019. The decrease
in interest expense was driven by a 14 bp decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits led by a 29 bp decrease
in the average rate paid on money market deposits. The decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was offset
by an increase in the balance of the average interest-bearing deposit portfolio of $45,673,000. Interest expense on total
borrowings decreased $666,000 as the balance of average total borrowings decreased $15,442,000 due to the growth in the
deposit portfolio. The decrease in the overall rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities is the result of the continued low interest
rate environment.
2019 vs. 2018
Reported net interest income increased $3,005,000 to $50,815,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year
ended December 31, 2018, as growth in the earning asset portfolio was coupled with the yield on earning assets increasing to
4.33% from 4.06%. Total interest income increased $8,028,000 primarily from the growth in the average balance of the loan
portfolio along with an increase in the average balance of the investment portfolio as the investment portfolio is actively
managed to reduce interest rate and market risk. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis recognized on the loan portfolio
increased $6,341,000 due to a $50,797,000 increase in the average balance in the loan portfolio coupled with a 31 basis point
("bp") increase in the loan portfolio yield. Interest and dividend income generated from the investment portfolio on a tax
equivalent basis increased $1,224,000 due to a $23,443,000 increase in the average balance in the investment portfolio and a 30
bp increase in the average rate.
Interest expense increased $5,023,000 to $15,959,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018. The increase
in interest expense was driven by growth in interest bearing deposits, primarily time deposits. The average rate paid on interest-
bearing liabilities increased 35 bp to 1.34% for 2019. The average rate paid on time deposits increased 55 bp as the time
deposit portfolio was lengthened and utilized to reduce total borrowings. Interest expense paid on super now deposits increased
$725,000 due to a $5,931,000 increase in the average balance and a 30 bp increase in the average rate. Money market interest
expense increased $970,000 due to an increase in average rate paid of 41 bp.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The table below sets forth certain information regarding changes in our interest income and interest expense for the periods
indicated. For interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to
(i) changes in volume (changes in average volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rates (changes in rate multiplied by
old average volume). Increases and decreases due to both interest rate and volume, which cannot be separated, have been
allocated proportionally to the change due to volume and the change due to interest rate. Income and interest rates are on a
taxable equivalent basis.

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s quarterly review of the loan portfolio. The purpose of the review is
to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans, analyze delinquencies, ascertain loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and
recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets served. An external independent loan review is also
performed semi-annually for the Corporation. Management remains committed to an aggressive program of problem loan
identification and resolution.

The allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific
allowance has been determined. Loss factors are based on management’s consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments,
changes in mix and volume of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience. In addition, management considers
industry standards and trends with respect to nonperforming loans and its knowledge and experience with specific lending
segments.
Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance
for loan losses is adequate at December 31, 2020, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic
conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. A downturn in the local
economy or employment and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of
nonperforming assets and charge-offs, increased loan loss provisions and reductions in interest income. Additionally, as an
integral part of the examination process, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Banks' loan loss allowance. The
banking regulators could require additions to the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them
at the time of their examination.
While determining the appropriate allowance level, management has attributed the allowance for loan losses to various portfolio
segments; however, the allowance is available for the entire portfolio as needed.
The allowance for loan losses increased from $11,894,000 at December 31, 2019 to $13,803,000 at December 31, 2020. At
December 31, 2020, the allowance for loan losses was 1.03% of total loans compared to 0.88% of total loans at December 31,
2019. This increase is due in large part to the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The provision for loan losses totaled $2,625,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $2,735,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in the provision was appropriate when considering the economic uncertainty caused
by the COVID-19 pandemic and level of net charge-offs during 2020. Net charge-offs of $716,000 represented 0.05% of
average loans for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to net charge-offs of $4,678,000 or 0.34% of average loans for
the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in the loan portfolio was driven by the residential real estate segment that
declined $33,535,000 as consumers refinanced their mortgage as they took advantage of historically low mortgage rates on the
secondary market. Growth occurred in the automobile segment of the portfolio which due to the economic uncertainty and
level of unemployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic required an increased allowance for loan losses. Nonperforming loans
decreased $2,087,000 as a nonperforming loan was paid-off during the fourth quarter of 2020. The majority of the
nonperforming loans are centered on several loans that are either in a secured position and have sureties with a strong
underlying financial position and/or a specific allowance within the allowance for loan losses. Internal loan review and
analysis, level of net charge-offs, decreased level of nonperforming loans noted previously, and the economic uncertainty
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, dictated an decrease in the provision for loan losses. Utilizing both internal and external
resources, as noted, senior management has concluded that the allowance for loan losses remains at a level adequate to provide
for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
2019 vs. 2018
The allowance for loan losses declined from $13,837,000 at December 31, 2018 to $11,894,000 at December 31, 2019. At
December 31, 2019, the allowance for loan losses was 0.88% of total loans compared to 1.00% of total loans at December 31,
2018. This decline is due to a partial charge off of a commercial relationship of $3,700,000 that was incurred during 2019.
The provision for loan losses totaled $2,735,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $1,735,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2018. The increase in the provision was appropriate when considering the gross loan growth and level of
net charge-offs during 2019. Net charge-offs of $4,678,000 represented 0.34% of average loans for the year ended
December 31, 2019 compared to net charge-offs of $756,000 or 0.06% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The growth in the loan portfolio was driven by the indirect auto loan portfolio that has experienced minimal charge-offs. In
addition, growth occurred in the home equity segment of the loan portfolio which historically is a lower risk product than
commercial loans and requires a lower allowance for loan losses. Nonperforming loans decreased $4,151,000 as a large
nonperforming loan was partially charged-off during the fourth quarter of 2019. The majority of the nonperforming loans are
centered on several loans that are either in a secured position and have sureties with a strong underlying financial position and/
or a specific allowance within the allowance for loan losses. Internal loan review and analysis, level of net charge-offs, and
decreased level of nonperforming loans noted previously, dictated an increase in the provision for loan losses. Utilizing both
internal and external resources, as noted, senior management has concluded that the allowance for loan losses remains at a level
adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
32 NON-INTEREST INCOME
2020 vs. 2019
Total non-interest income increased $1,716,000 from the year ended December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020. Excluding net
security gains, non-interest income increased $856,000 year over year. Service charges decreased primarily due to overdraft
income declining as a result of the government actions taken to contain the spread of COVID-19 and economic stimulus
provided by the government. Insurance commissions along with brokerage commissions decreased primarily from the impact
of the uncertainty surrounding the economy. Debit card income decreased $98,000 primarily due to a decline in debit card
usage resulting from the stay at home government actions taken to contain the spread of COVID-19. Gain on sale of loans
increased significantly as the low interest rate environment caused an increase in the number of homeowners who refinanced
their mortgage to take advantage of historically low interest rates.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
2020 vs. 2019
Total non-interest expenses decreased $640,000 from the year ended December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020. The decrease
in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to staff layoffs resulting from branch lobbies being temporarily closed during
a period of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Furniture and equipment expense and software amortization increased due to
continued enhancement of systems, in particular those related to electronic banking channels. Marketing expenses decreased as
advertising was reduced during 2020 due to the pandemic. The increase in deposit insurance reflects the increase in deposit
balances and the FDIC assessment credit that was recorded during 2019.

2019 vs. 2018
Total non-interest expenses increased $1,701,000 from the year ended December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The increase
in salaries and employee benefits was attributable primarily to normal annual wage increases. Furniture and equipment expense
and software amortization increased due to the new branch locations opened in 2018 and continued enhancement of systems.
Market expenses decreased as targeted marketing has decreased in the localities where branches opened during 2018. The
increase in professional fees of $368,000 is primarily due to increases in legal fees. The decrease in deposit insurance reflects
the FDIC assessment credit that was recorded during 2019. Other expenses increased from the year ended December 31, 2018
to December 31, 2019 by $912,000; the main driver of this increase was an increase in data processing expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
INVESTMENTS
2020
The fair value of the investment portfolio increased $13,658,000 from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020. The increase
in value is the result of growth in the municipal segment of the portfolio as the investment portfolio continues to be actively
managed in order to reduce interest rate and market risk. This strategy is being deployed through selective purchasing of bonds
that mature within ten years. The unrealized losses within the debt securities portfolio are the result of market activity, not
credit issues/ratings, as approximately 83% of the debt securities portfolio on an amortized cost basis is currently rated A or
higher by either S&P or Moody’s.
2019
The fair value of the investment portfolio increased $13,834,000 from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The increase
in value is the result of growth in the corporate segment of the portfolio as the investment portfolio continues to be actively
managed in order to reduce interest rate and market risk. This strategy is being deployed through selective purchasing of bonds
that mature within ten years. The unrealized losses within the debt securities portfolio are the result of market activity, not
credit issues/ratings, as approximately 79% of the debt securities portfolio on an amortized cost basis is currently rated A or
higher by either S&P or Moody’s.

All yields represent weighted average yields expressed on a tax equivalent basis. They are calculated on the basis of the cost,
adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, and effective yields weighted for the scheduled maturity of
each security. The taxable equivalent adjustment represents the difference between annual income from tax-exempt obligations
and the taxable equivalent of such income at the standard 21% tax rate (derived by dividing tax-exempt interest by 79%).

LOAN PORTFOLIO
2020
Gross loans of $1,344,327,000 at December 31, 2020 represented a decrease of $11,217,000 from December 31, 2019. The
residential real estate segment of the loan portfolio had the largest decrease from the previous year as the historically low
interest rate environment caused homeowners to refinance their mortgage in the secondary market. Indirect auto lending
continued to grow within the portfolio as the product continued to expand in northeast and central Pennsylvania. Indirect auto
lending and home equity lines are part of the overall strategy to shorten the duration of the earning asset portfolio in preparation
for a rising interest rate environment. Commercial real estate mortgages increased $9,927,000 but remained at approximately
28% of the total loan portfolio.
2019
Gross loans of $1,355,544,000 at December 31, 2019 represented a decrease of $29,213,000 from December 31, 2018. The
Commercial, Financial, and Agricultural loan portfolio had the largest decrease from the previous year as emphasis was shifted
to other segments of the loan portfolio. Indirect auto lending continued to grow within the portfolio as the product continued to
expand in northeast Pennsylvania. Indirect auto lending and home equity lines are part of the overall strategy to shorten the
duration of the earning asset portfolio in preparation for a rising interest rate environment. Commercial real estate mortgages
decreased $8,434,000 but remained at approximately 27% of the total loan portfolio.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
2020
The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses
inherent in its loan portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet date. All loan losses are charged to the allowance and all
recoveries are credited to it per the allowance method of providing for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is established
through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s quarterly
review of the loan portfolio. The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans, analyze delinquencies,
38
ascertain loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets
served. An external independent loan review is also performed semi-annually for the Banks. Management remains committed
to an aggressive program of problem loan identification and resolution.
The allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific
allowance has been determined. Loss factors are based on management’s consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments,
changes in mix and volume of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience. In addition, management considers
industry standards and trends with respect to nonperforming loans and its knowledge and experience with specific lending
segments.
The allowance for loan losses increased from $11,894,000 at December 31, 2019 to $13,803,000 at December 31, 2020. At
December 31, 2020 and 2019, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.03% and 0.88%, respectively. Net loan charge-
offs of $716,000 or 0.05% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2020 countered the impact of the provision for
loan losses of $2,625,000. Driving the increase in the allowance for loan losses was the economic uncertainty that has resulted
from the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in various businesses operating at less than 100%
capacity, an increase in the unemployment rate, and an increase in the number of loans that have been granted payment
deferrals. In response to the uncertainty in both the business and consumer sectors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and as
well as the level of precision in estimating the effects of a pandemic, a higher than normal unallocated reserve is considered
necessary. Management concluded that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in its
loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date as noted in the provision for loan losses discussion.
Based on management’s loan-by-loan review, the past performance of the borrowers, and current economic conditions,
including recent business closures and bankruptcy levels, management does not anticipate any current losses related to
nonaccrual, nonperforming, or classified loans above those that have already been considered in its overall judgment of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
2019
The allowance for loan losses decreased from $13,837,000 at December 31, 2018 to $11,894,000 at December 31, 2019. At
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.88% and 1.00%, respectively. The growth in
the loan portfolio of home equity product historically is a lower risk product than commercial loans and requires a lower
allowance for loan losses. In addition, the growth in the indirect auto portfolio has incurred minimal losses. Net loan charge-
offs of $4,678,000 or 0.34% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2019 negated the impact of the provision for
loan losses of $2,735,000. The increase in net loan charge-offs is a result of one large charge-off in the commercial, financial,
and agricultural portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2019.

NONPERFORMING LOANS
The decrease in nonperforming loans during 2020 is primarily due to a non-accrual commercial loan that was paid-off during
the fourth quarter of 2020. The majority of the nonperforming loans are centered on several loans that are either in a secured
position and have sureties with a strong underlying financial position and/or a specific allowance within the allowance for loan
losses.
The following table presents information concerning nonperforming loans. The accrual of interest will be discontinued when
the principal or interest of a loan is in default for 90 days or more, or as soon as payment is questionable, unless the loan is well
secured and in the process of collection. Consumer loans and residential real estate loans secured by 1 to 4 family dwellings are
not ordinarily subject to those guidelines. The reversal of previously accrued but uncollected interest applicable to any loan
placed in a nonaccrual status and the treatment of subsequent payments of either principal or interest is handled in accordance
with GAAP. These principles do not require a write-off of previously accrued interest if principal and interest are ultimately
protected by sound collateral values. A nonperforming loan may be restored to accruing status when:
1. Principal and interest is no longer due and unpaid;
2. It becomes well secured and in the process of collection; and
3. Prospects for future contractual payments are no longer in doubt.

The level of non-accruing loans continues to fluctuate annually and is attributed to the various economic factors experienced
both regionally and nationally. Overall, the portfolio is well secured with a majority of the balance making regular payments or
scheduled to be satisfied in the near future. Presently, there are no significant loans where serious doubts exist as to the ability
of the borrower to comply with the current loan payment terms which are not included in the nonperforming categories as
indicated above.
Management’s judgment in determining the amount of the additions to the allowance charged to operating expense considers
the following factors with no single factor being determinative:
1. Economic conditions and the impact on the loan portfolio;
2. Analysis of past loan charge-offs experienced by category and comparison to outstanding loans;
3. Effect of problem loans on overall portfolio quality; and
4. Reports of examination of the loan portfolio by the Department and the FDIC.
DEPOSITS
2020 vs. 2019
Total average deposits increased $118,440,000 or 9.05% from 2019 to 2020. Noninterest-bearing deposits average balance
increased $72,767,000 as customers received funding from various government programs that were designed to combat the
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
2019 vs. 2018
Total average deposits increased $113,881,000 or 9.54% from 2019 to 2020. The time deposit portfolio average balance for
2019 increased $86,349,000 to $345,635,000 as time deposits were utilized as an attraction tool and to lengthen the average
maturity of the interest bearing liability portfolio.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
2020
Shareholders’ equity increased $9.2 million to $164.1 million at December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. The
change in accumulated other comprehensive loss from $2.8 million at December 31, 2019 to $882,000 at December 31, 2020 is
a result of an increase in unrealized gains on available for sale securities (from an unrealized gain of $2.5 million at December
31, 2019 to an unrealized gain of $4.7 million at December 31, 2020). The amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss at
December 31, 2020 was also impacted by the change in net excess of the projected benefit obligation over the fair value of the
plan assets of the defined benefit pension plan, resulting in an increase in the net loss of $364,000. The current level of
shareholders’ equity equates to a book value per share of $23.27 at December 31, 2020 compared to $22.01 at December 31,
2019, and an equity to asset ratio of 8.95% at December 31, 2020 compared to 9.31% at December 31, 2019. Dividends
declared for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $1.28 per share and $1.26 per share, respectively.
2019
Shareholders’ equity increased $11,400,000 to $155.0 million at December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018. The
change in accumulated other comprehensive loss from $6.6 million at December 31, 2018 to $2.8 million at December 31, 2019
is a result of an increase in unrealized gains on available for sale securities (from an unrealized loss of $1.4 million at December
31, 2018 to an unrealized gain of $2.5 million at December 31, 2019). The amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss at
December 31, 2019 was also impacted by the change in net excess of the projected benefit obligation over the fair value of the
plan assets of the defined benefit pension plan, resulting in a decrease in the net loss of $44,000. The current level of
shareholders’ equity equates to a book value per share of $22.01 at December 31, 2019 compared to $20.39 at December 31,
2018, and an equity to asset ratio of 9.31% at December 31, 2019 compared to 8.52% at December 31, 2018. Dividends
declared for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $1.26 per share and $1.25 per share, respectively..
Bank regulators have risk based capital guidelines. Under these guidelines the Corporation and each Bank are required to
maintain minimum ratios of core capital and total qualifying capital as a percentage of risk weighted assets and certain off-
balance sheet items. At December 31, 2020, both the Corporation’s and each Bank’s required ratios were well above the
minimum ratios (and including the current capital conservation buffer where applicable) as follows:

LIQUIDITY, INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY, AND MARKET RISK
The Asset/Liability Committee addresses the liquidity needs of the Corporation to ensure that sufficient funds are available to
meet credit demands and deposit withdrawals as well as to the placement of available funds in the investment portfolio. In
assessing liquidity requirements, equal consideration is given to the current position as well as the future outlook.
The following liquidity measures are monitored for compliance and were within the limits cited at December 31, 2020.
1. Net Loans to Total Assets, 85% maximum
2. Net Loans to Total Deposits, 100% maximum
3. Cumulative 90 day Maturity GAP %, +/- 20% maximum
4. Cumulative 1 Year Maturity GAP %, +/- 25% maximum
Fundamental objectives of the Corporation’s asset/liability management process are to maintain adequate liquidity while
minimizing interest rate risk. The maintenance of adequate liquidity provides the Corporation with the ability to meet its
financial obligations to depositors, loan customers, and shareholders. Additionally, it provides funds for normal operating
expenditures and business opportunities as they arise. The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to increase net
interest income by managing interest sensitive assets and liabilities in such a way that they can be repriced in response to
changes in market interest rates.
The Corporation, like other financial institutions, must have sufficient funds available to meet its liquidity needs for deposit
withdrawals, loan commitments, and expenses. In order to control cash flow, the Corporation estimates future flows of cash
from deposits and loan payments. The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and
mortgage-backed securities, as well as FHLB borrowings. Funds generated are used principally to fund loans and purchase
investment securities. Management believes the Corporation has adequate resources to meet its normal funding requirements.
Management monitors the Corporation’s liquidity on both a short and long-term basis, thereby providing management
necessary information to react to current balance sheet trends. Cash flow needs are assessed and sources of funds are
determined. Funding strategies consider both customer needs and economical cost. Both short and long term funding needs are
addressed by maturities and sales of available for sale investment securities, loan repayments and maturities, and liquidating
money market investments such as federal funds sold. The use of these resources, in conjunction with access to credit, provides
core ingredients to satisfy depositor, borrower, and creditor needs.
Management monitors and determines the desirable level of liquidity. Consideration is given to loan demand, investment
opportunities, deposit pricing and growth potential, as well as the current cost of borrowing funds. The Corporation has a
current borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $588,457,000 with $148,000,000 utilized, leaving $440,457,000 available. In
addition to this credit arrangement, the Corporation has additional lines of credit with correspondent banks of $100,000,000.
The Corporation’s management believes that it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy estimated short-term and long-term funding
needs.
Interest rate sensitivity, which is closely related to liquidity management, is a function of the repricing characteristics of the
Corporation’s portfolio of assets and liabilities. Asset/liability management strives to match maturities and rates between loan
and investment security assets with the deposit liabilities and borrowings that fund them. Successful asset/liability management
results in a balance sheet structure which can cope effectively with market rate fluctuations. The matching process is affected
42
by segmenting both assets and liabilities into future time periods (usually 12 months or less) based upon when repricing can be
effected. Repriceable assets are subtracted from repriceable liabilities for a specific time period to determine the “gap” or
difference. Once known, the gap is managed based on predictions about future market interest rates. Intentional mismatching,
or gapping, can enhance net interest income if market rates move as predicted. However, if market rates behave in a manner
contrary to predictions, net interest income will suffer. Gaps, therefore, contain an element of risk and must be prudently
managed. In addition to gap management, the Corporation has an asset liability management policy which incorporates a
market value at risk calculation which is used to determine the effects of interest rate movements on shareholders’ equity and a
simulation analysis to monitor the effects of interest rate changes on the Corporation’s balance sheet.
The Corporation currently maintains a gap position of being asset sensitive. The Corporation has strategically taken this
position as it has decreased the duration of the earning asset portfolio by adding quality short and intermediate term loans such
as home equity loans and the selling of long-term municipal bonds. Lengthening of the liability portfolio is being undertaken to
build protection in a rising rate environment.
A market value at risk calculation is utilized to monitor the effects of interest rate changes on the Corporation’s balance sheet
and more specifically shareholders’ equity. The Corporation does not manage the balance sheet structure in order to maintain
compliance with this calculation. The calculation serves as a guideline with greater emphasis placed on interest rate sensitivity.
Changes to calculation results from period to period are reviewed as changes in results could be a signal of future events.
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
In this analysis the Corporation examines the result of various changes in market interest rates in 100 basis point increments and
their effect on net interest income. It is assumed that the change is instantaneous and that all rates move in a parallel manner.
Assumptions are also made concerning prepayment speeds on mortgage loans and mortgage securities.
The following is a rate shock forecast for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2021 assuming a static balance sheet as
of December 31, 2020.

Parallel Rate Shock in Basis Points
The model utilized to create the report presented above makes various estimates at each level of interest rate change regarding
cash flow from principal repayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and/or call activity on investment securities.
Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates which would result in significant differences in the calculated
projected change. In addition, the limits stated above do not necessarily represent the level of change under which management
would undertake specific measures to realign its portfolio in order to reduce the projected level of change. Generally,
management believes the Corporation is well positioned to respond expeditiously when the market interest rate outlook
changes.
INFLATION
The asset and liability structure of a financial institution is primarily monetary in nature; therefore, interest rates rather than
inflation have a more significant impact on the Corporation’s performance. Interest rates are not always affected in the same
direction or magnitude as prices of other goods and services, but are reflective of fiscal policy initiatives or economic factors
that are not measured by a price index.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Corporation’s accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. The accounting policies are described
in detail in Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our most complex accounting policies require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets, liabilities,
commitments, and contingencies. We have established detailed policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure
valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the policies and procedures
are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The following is a brief
description of our current accounting policies involving significant management valuation judgments.
43
Other Than Temporary Impairment of Debt Securities
Debt securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. Management
utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reason underlying the decline, to determine
whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The term “other than temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is
permanent. It indicates that the prospects for a near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack
of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is
determined to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is
recognized. For a full discussion of the Corporation’s methodology of assessing impairment, refer to Note 4 of the “Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment. The Corporation’s allowance
for loan losses provides for probable losses based upon evaluations of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.
Management uses historical information to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses as well as the prevailing
business environment; as it is affected by changing economic conditions and various external factors, which may impact the
portfolio in ways currently unforeseen. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses and by recoveries of loans
previously charged-off and reduced by loans charged-off. For a full discussion of the Corporation’s methodology of assessing
the adequacy of the reserve for allowance for loan losses, refer to Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”
included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As discussed in Note 8 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” the Corporation must assess goodwill and other
intangible assets each year for impairment. This assessment involves estimating cash flows for future periods. If the future
cash flows were less than the recorded goodwill and other intangible assets balances, we would be required to take a charge
against earnings to write down the assets to the lower value.
Deferred Tax Assets
Management uses an estimate of future earnings to support their position that the benefit of their deferred tax assets will be
realized. If future income should prove non-existent or less than the amount of the deferred tax assets within the tax years to
which they may be applied, the asset may not be realized and the Corporation’s net income will be reduced. The Corporation’s
deferred tax assets are described further in Note 12 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 8 of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Pension Benefits
Pension costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include
discount rates, benefits earned, interest costs, expected return on plan assets, mortality rates, and other factors. In accordance
with GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore,
generally affect recognized expense and the recorded obligation of future periods. While management believes that the
assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect the Corporation’s
pension obligations and future expense. Our pension benefits are described further in Note 13 of the “Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements” included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
44 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Corporation has various financial obligations, including contractual obligations which may require future cash payments.
The following table presents, as of December 31, 2020, significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations to third
parties by payment date. Further discussion of the nature of each obligation is included in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements” included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 7A
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk for the Corporation is comprised primarily from interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk. Interest rate risk and
liquidity risk management is performed at the Banks' level as well as the Corporation level. The Corporation’s interest rate
sensitivity is monitored by management through selected interest rate risk measures produced internally. Additional
information and details are provided in the Interest Sensitivity section of Item 7 - "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
Generally, management believes the Corporation is well positioned to respond expeditiously when the market interest rate
outlook changes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Jersey Shore State Bank (“JSSB”), Luzerne Bank ("Luzerne" and collectively with JSSB , the "Banks"), Woods
Real Estate Development Co., Inc., Woods Investment Company, Inc., The M Group Inc. D/B/A The Comprehensive Financial
Group (“The M Group”), a wholly owned subsidiary of JSSB and an eighty percent owned subsidiary, United Insurance
Solutions, LLC, (collectively, the “Corporation”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Nature of Business
The Banks engage in a full-service commercial banking business, making available to the community a wide range of financial
services including, but not limited to, installment loans, credit cards, mortgage and home equity loans, lines of credit,
construction financing, farm loans, community development loans, loans to non-profit entities and local government, and
various types of demand and time deposits including, but not limited to, checking accounts, savings accounts, money market
deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, and IRAs. Deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) to the extent provided by law.
The financial services are provided by the Banks to individuals, partnerships, non-profit organizations, and corporations
through their twenty-seven offices located in Clinton, Lycoming, Centre, Montour, Union, Blair, and Luzerne Counties,
Pennsylvania.
Woods Real Estate Development Co., Inc. engages in real estate transactions on behalf of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. and the
Banks.
Woods Investment Company, Inc., a Delaware holding company, is engaged in investing activities.
The M Group engages in securities brokerage and financial planning services, which include the sale of life insurance products,
annuities, and estate planning services.
United Insurance Solutions, LLC offers property and casualty and auto insurance products within the Corporation's market
footprint.
Operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a corporate-wide basis. Accordingly, all financial service
operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial
Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from
those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan
losses, valuation of net deferred tax assets, impairment of goodwill, other than temporary impairment of debt and equity
securities, fair value of financial instruments, and the valuation of real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure on
settlement of debt.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and federal funds sold. Interest-earning deposits mature within 90
days and are carried at cost. Net cash flows are reported for loan, deposit, and short-term borrowing transactions.
Restrictions on Cash and Cash Equivalents
Based on deposit levels, the Banks must maintain cash and other reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia
("FRB").
52
Investment Securities
Investment securities are classified at the time of purchase, based on management’s intention and ability, as securities held to
maturity, securities available for sale, or securities held for trading. Debt securities acquired with the intent and ability to hold
to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, which are computed using the
interest method and recognized as adjustments of interest income. Certain other debt securities have been classified as available
for sale to serve principally as a source of liquidity. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available for sale securities are
reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax, until realized. Equity securities are carried at fair value.
Unrealized holding gains and losses for equity securities are recognized as a separate component within the income statement.
Realized security gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method for debt securities and the average cost
method for marketable equity securities. Interest and dividends on investment securities are recognized as income when earned.
Securities are periodically reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment based upon a number of factors, including, but not
limited to, the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition of the underlying
issuer, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations, the likelihood of the security’s ability to recover any decline in
its fair value, whether it is more likely than not that the Corporation would be required to sell the security before its anticipated
recovery in fair value, and a review of the Corporation’s capital adequacy, interest rate risk position, and liquidity. The
assessment of a security’s ability to recover any decline in fair value, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations,
and management’s intent and ability requires considerable judgment. A decline in value that is considered to be other-than-
temporary is recorded as a loss within non-interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Fair values of investment securities are based on observed market prices. Certain investment securities do not have observed
bid prices and their fair value is based on instruments with similar risk elements. Since regulatory stock is redeemable at par,
the Corporation carries it at cost.
Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff generally are
stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred fees and discounts, unamortized loan fees and costs, and the
allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is recognized as income when earned on the accrual method. The Corporation’s
general policy has been to stop accruing interest on loans when it is determined a reasonable doubt exists as to the collectability
of additional interest. Income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received provided the loan is
not delinquent in payment and, in management’s judgment, the borrower has the ability and intent to make future principal
payments. Otherwise, payments are applied to the unpaid principal balance of the loan. Loans are restored to accrual status if
certain conditions are met, including but not limited to, the repayment of all unpaid interest and scheduled principal due,
ongoing performance consistent with the contractual agreement, and the future expectation of continued, timely payments.
Loan origination and commitment fees as well as certain direct loan origination costs are being deferred and amortized as an
adjustment to the related loan’s yield over the contractual lives of the related loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses
inherent in its loan portfolio as of the Consolidated Balance Sheet date. The allowance method is used in providing for loan
losses. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance and all recoveries are credited to it. The allowance for loan
losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. The provision for loan losses is based upon
management’s quarterly review of the loan portfolio. The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired
loans, analyze delinquencies, ascertain loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic
conditions in the markets served. An external independent loan review is also performed semi-annually for the Bank.
Management remains committed to an aggressive program of problem loan identification and resolution.
The allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific
allowance has been determined. Loss factors are based on management’s consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments,
changes in mix and volume of the loan portfolio, historical loan loss experience, and general economic conditions. In addition,
management considers industry standards and trends with respect to nonperforming loans and its knowledge and experience
with specific lending segments.
Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance
for loan losses is adequate at December 31, 2020, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic
53 conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. A downturn in the local
economy, rising unemployment, or negative performance trends in financial information from borrowers could be indicators of
subsequent increased levels of nonperforming assets and possible charge-offs, which would normally require increased loan
loss provisions. An integral part of the periodic regulatory examination process is the review of the adequacy of the Banks' loan
loss allowance. The regulatory agencies could require the Banks, based on their evaluation of information available at the time
of their examination, to provide additional loan loss provisions to further supplement the allowance.
Impaired loans are commercial and commercial real estate loans for which it is probable the Banks will not be able to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Banks individually evaluate such loans for
impairment and do not aggregate loans by major risk classifications. The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the
definition of “nonaccrual loans,” although the two categories overlap. The Banks may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual
status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectability, while not classifying the loan as impaired if the loan is not a
commercial or commercial real estate loan. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment
status and collateral value. The amount of impairment for these types of loans is determined by the difference between the
present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a
practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded
amount of the loans. When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.
Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous
loans and are measured for impairment collectively. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as
90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-
by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower including the length of the
delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.
Loan Charge-off Policies
Loans are generally fully or partially charged down to the fair value of collateral securing the asset when:
•
•
•
•
•
management judges the asset to be uncollectible;
repayment is deemed to be protracted beyond reasonable time frames;
the asset has been classified as a loss by either the internal loan review process or external examiners;
the borrower has filed bankruptcy and the loss becomes evident due to a lack of assets; or
the loan is 180 days past due unless both well secured and in the process of collection.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, management may grant a
concession for other than an insignificant period of time to the borrower that would not otherwise be considered, the related
loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty
early and work with them to modify to more affordable terms before their loan reaches nonaccrual status. These modified terms
may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance, and other actions intended to minimize the economic
loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. In cases where borrowers are granted new terms that provide for
a reduction of either interest or principal, management measures any impairment on the restructuring as noted above for
impaired loans.
In addition to the allowance for the pooled portfolios, management has developed a separate allowance for loans that are
identified as impaired through a TDR. These loans are excluded from pooled loss forecasts and a separate reserve is provided
under the accounting guidance for loan impairment. Consumer loans whose terms have been modified in a TDR are also
individually analyzed for estimated impairment.
Loans Held for Sale
In general, fixed rate residential mortgage loans originated by the Banks are held for sale and are carried at cost due to their
short holding period, which can range from less than two weeks to a maximum of thirty days. Sold loans are not serviced by
the Banks. Proceeds from the sale of loans in excess of the carrying value are accounted for as a gain. Total gains on the sale of
loans are shown as a component of non-interest income within the Consolidated Statement of Income.
54 Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Prior to foreclosure, the value of the
underlying loan is written down to the fair value of the real estate to be acquired by a charge to the allowance for loan losses, if
necessary. Any subsequent write-downs are charged against operating expenses. Net operating expenses and gains and losses
realized from disposition are included in non-interest expense and income, respectively, within the Consolidated Statement of
Income.
Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed
using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from five to ten
years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment and fifteen to forty years for buildings and improvements. Costs incurred for
routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Costs of major additions and improvements are
capitalized.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
The Corporation has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers and directors. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded
at its cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized. Increases in the cash surrender value are recognized as a
component of non-interest income within the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Goodwill
The Corporation performs an annual impairment analysis of goodwill for its purchased subsidiaries, Luzerne and The M
Group. Based on the fair value of these reporting units, estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows, no
impairment of goodwill was recognized in 2020, 2019, or 2018.
Intangible Assets
At December 31, 2020, the Corporation had intangible assets of $156,000 as a result of the acquisition of Luzerne National
Bank Corporation, which is net of accumulated amortization of $1,859,000. These intangible assets will continue to be
amortized using the sum-of-the-years digits method of amortization over ten years. The Corporation also had intangible assets
of $515,000, which is net of accumulated amortization of $505,000, as a result of the purchase of two books of business related
to investment product sales. The book of business intangible is being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of
ten years.
Investments in Limited Partnerships
The Corporation was a limited partner in one partnership at December 31, 2020 that will provide low income elderly housing in
the Corporation’s geographic market area once construction is complete. The carrying value of the Corporation’s investment in
the limited partnership was $3,944,000 at December 31, 2020 and $597,000 at December 31, 2019. The investment will be
amortized over the ten-year tax credit receipt period. The partnership will be amortized once the project reaches the level of
occupancy needed to begin the ten year tax credit recognition period. During 2020 the Corporation exited a partnership that
provides low income elderly housing. This limited partnership had a carrying value of $33,000 at December 31, 2019 and had
amortization of $33,000, $184,000, and $184,000 for 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into off-balance sheet financial instruments. Those instruments
consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. When those instruments are funded or become payable,
the Corporation reports the amounts in its financial statements.
Marketing Cost
Marketing costs are generally expensed as incurred.
55 Income Taxes
The Corporation prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in
the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the
appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-
likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being
realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold
should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax
positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent
financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences in financial and income tax methods of accounting, and are
reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected
to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the
provision for income taxes. The Corporation analyzed its deferred tax asset position and determined that there was not a need
for a valuation allowance due to the Corporation’s ability to generate future ordinary and capital taxable income.
The Corporation when applicable recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax provision.
Earnings Per Share
The Corporation provides dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated
utilizing net income as reported in the numerator and weighted average shares outstanding in the denominator. The
computation of diluted earnings per share differs in that the dilutive effects of any stock options are adjusted in the
denominator.
Employee Benefits
Pension and employee benefits include contributions, determined actuarially, to a defined benefit retirement plan covering the
eligible employees of JSSB. The plan is funded on a current basis to the extent that it is deductible under existing federal tax
regulations. Pension and other employee benefits also include contributions to a defined contribution Section 401(k) plan
covering eligible employees. Contributions matching those made by eligible employees are funded throughout the year. In
addition, an elective contribution may be made annually at the discretion of the board of directors for the employees of JSSB
with no contributions made since 2015.
The M Group Products and Income Recognition
The M Group product line is comprised primarily of annuities, life insurance, and mutual funds. The revenues generated from
life insurance sales are commission only, as The M Group does not underwrite the policies. Life insurance sales include
permanent and term policies with the majority of the policies written being permanent. Term life insurance policies are written
for 10, 15, 20, and 30 year terms with the majority of the policies being written for 20 years. None of these products are offered
as an integral part of lending activities.
Commissions from the sale of annuities are recognized at the time notice is received from the third party broker/dealer or an
insurance company that the transaction has been accepted and approved, which is also the time when commission income is
received.
Life insurance commissions are recognized at varying points based on the payment option chosen by the customer.
Commissions from monthly and annual payment plans are recognized at the start of each annual period for the life insurance,
while quarterly and semi-annual premium payments are recognized quarterly and semi-annually when the earnings process is
complete. For example, semi-annual payments on the first of January and July would result in commission income recognition
on the first of January and July, while payments on the first of January, April, July, and October would result in commission
income recognition on those dates. The potential for chargebacks only exists for those policies on a monthly payment plan since
income is recognized at the beginning of the annual coverage period versus at the time of each monthly payment. No liability is
maintained for chargebacks as these are removed from income at the time of the occurrence.
56 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Corporation is required to present accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in a full set of general-purpose financial
statements for all periods presented. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of unrealized holding gains
(losses) on the available for sale securities portfolio and the unrecognized components of net periodic benefit costs of the
defined benefit pension plan.
Segment Reporting
The Corporation has determined that its only reportable segment is Community Banking.
Reclassification of Comparative Amounts
Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s reporting format. Such
reclassifications did not affect net income or shareholders’ equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This Update is intended to improve
financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial
institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the Update is that financial assets measured at amortized cost
should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the
amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are
expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be affected for the measurement of
credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that
have taken place during the period. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative-
effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.
This Update is effective for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers, and all other
companies, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We expect to
recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting
period in which the new standard is effective but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the
overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent
measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value
of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its
assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in
determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments
in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a
reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying
amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill
allocated to that reporting unit. The Update is effective for smaller reporting companies and all other entities for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a
significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715-20). This Update amends
ASC 715 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans.
The Update eliminates the requirement to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be
recognized as part of net periodic benefit cost over the next year. The Update also removes the disclosure requirements for the
effects of a one-percentage-point change on the assumed health care costs and the effect of this change in rates on service cost,
interest cost, and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. This Update is effective for public business
entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. For all other entities, this
Update is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. This Update did not have a significant impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,
Derivatives, and Hedging (Topic 815); and Financial Instruments (Topic 825), which affects a variety of topics in the
Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. ASU 2019-04 makes
clarifying amendments to certain financial instrument standards. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the
57 effective dates for the amendments related to ASU 2016-13 are the same as the effective dates in ASU 2016-13. For entities that
have adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments related to ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2017-12 as of April 25,
2019, the effective dates for the amendments to Topic 815 are the same as the effective dates in ASU 2017-12. For entities that
have adopted ASU 2017-12 as of April 25, 2019, the effective date is as of the beginning of the first annual period beginning
after April 25, 2019. The amendments related to ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect
to early adopt these ASUs.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which allows entities to
irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost upon adoption of the
new credit losses standard. To be eligible for the transition election, the existing financial asset must otherwise be both within
the scope of the new credit losses standard and eligible for applying the fair value option in ASC 825-10.3. The election must
be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is not available for either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt
securities. For entities that elect the fair value option, the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the
financial asset would be recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the date an entity
adopted ASU 2016-13. Changes in fair value of that financial asset would subsequently be reported in current earnings. For
entities that have not yet adopted the credit losses standard, the ASU is effective when they implement the credit losses
standard. For entities that already have adopted the credit losses standard, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company
and does not expect to early adopt ASU 2016-13.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit
Losses, to clarify its new credit impairment guidance in ASC 326, based on implementation issues raised by stakeholders. This
Update clarified, among other things, that expected recoveries are to be included in the allowance for credit losses for these
financial assets; an accounting policy election can be made to adjust the effective interest rate for existing troubled debt
restructurings based on the prepayment assumptions instead of the prepayment assumptions applicable immediately prior to the
restructuring event; and extends the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest receivable from all additional relevant
disclosures involving amortized cost basis. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13 as of November 26, 2019, the
effective dates for ASU 2019-11 are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in ASU 2016-13. For entities
that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early
adopt these ASUs.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), to simplify the accounting for income taxes,
change the accounting for certain tax transactions, and make minor improvements to the codification. This Update provides a
policy election to not allocate consolidated income taxes when a member of a consolidated tax return is not subject to income
tax and provides guidance to evaluate whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination in which
book goodwill was recognized or was a separate transaction. The Update also changes current guidance for making an
intraperiod allocation if there is a loss in continuing operations and gains outside of continuing operations, determining when a
deferred tax liability is recognized after an investor in a foreign entity transitions to or from the equity method of accounting,
accounting for tax law changes and year-to-date losses in interim periods, and determining how to apply the income tax
guidance to franchise taxes that are partially based on income. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other
entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2022. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and
Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), to clarify that an entity should consider observable
transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting, for the purposes of applying the
measurement alternative, in accordance with Topic 321, immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method.
The amendments also clarify that, for the purpose of applying paragraph 815-10-15-141 (a), an entity should not consider
whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing
investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in Topic 323 or the fair value option, in
accordance with the financial instruments guidance in Topic 825. An entity also would evaluate the remaining characteristics in
paragraph 815-10-15-141 to determine the accounting for those forward contracts and purchased options. For public business
entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
58 In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. This ASU was issued to
improve and clarify various financial instruments topics, including the current expected credit losses (CECL) standard issued in
2016. The ASU includes seven issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP; they are
intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply and to eliminate inconsistencies, and they are narrow in scope
and are not expected to significantly change practice for most entities. Among its provisions, the ASU clarifies that all entities,
other than public business entities that elected the fair value option, are required to provide certain fair value disclosures under
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, in both interim and annual financial statements. It also clarifies that the contractual term of a
net investment in a lease under Topic 842 should be the contractual term used to measure expected credit losses under Topic
326. Amendments related to ASU 2019-04 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted before an entity’s adoption of ASU 2016-01. Amendments
related to ASU 2016-13 for entities that have not yet adopted that guidance are effective upon adoption of the amendments in
ASU 2016-13. Early adoption is not permitted before an entity’s adoption of ASU 2016-13. Amendments related to ASU
2016-13 for entities that have adopted that guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including
interim periods within those years. Other amendments are effective upon issuance of this ASU. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference
Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, March 2020, to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP
guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market
transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing
Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance
calls “reference rate reform” if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the
contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Also, entities can elect various optional
expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate
reform if certain criteria are met, and can make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that
reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities upon
issuance through December 31, 2022. It is too early to predict whether a new rate index replacement and the adoption of the
ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and
Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain
financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s
own equity. This ASU removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature
and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an
embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, they will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for
convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account), unless (1) a convertible instrument
contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815 or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a
substantial premium. This ASU requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible
instruments, how the instruments have been reported in the entity’s financial statements, and information about events,
conditions, and circumstances that can affect how to assess the amount or timing of an entity’s future cash flows related to those
instruments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities that are not smaller reporting companies, for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this ASU is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance may
be early adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable
Fees and Other Costs, which clarifies that, for each reporting period, an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt
security is within the scope of ASC 310-20-35-33. For public business entities, ASU 2020-08 is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is not permitted. For all other
entities, ASU 2020-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2022. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-09, Debt (Topic 470): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release
No. 33-10762, which codifies, as appropriate, the amended financial statement disclosure requirements in Regulation S-X Rules
13-01 and 13-02. The amendments are effective January 4, 2021. This Update did not have a significant impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
59 In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which makes minor technical corrections and
clarifications to the ASC. The amendments in Sections B and C of the ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2020, for public business entities. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. This Update
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In November 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-11, Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944), which was made in
consideration of the implications of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on an insurance entity’s ability to
effectively implement the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-12, Financial Services— Insurance:
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts (LDTI). The amendments in this Update defer the
effective date of LDTI for all entities by one year, as (1) for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer and
are not SRCs, LDTI is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal
years; and (2) for all other entities, LDTI is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods
within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional temporary
guidance for entities transitioning away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates
(IBORs) to new references rates so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain
optional expedients and exceptions within Topic 848. ASU 2021-01 clarifies that the derivatives affected by the discounting
transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848. ASU 2021-01 is effective
immediately for all entities. Entities may elect to apply the amendments on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the
beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications
from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to the date of the issuance of a final update, up to the date
that financial statements are available to be issued. The amendments in this update do not apply to contract modifications made,
as well as new hedging relationships entered into, after December 31, 2022, and to existing hedging relationships evaluated for
effectiveness for periods after December 31, 2022, except for certain hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022,
that apply certain optional expedients in which the accounting effects are recorded through the end of the hedging relationship.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
Stock Split
On September 30, 2019, the Company completed a three-for-two stock split (the “Stock Split”) of the Company’s common
stock. As a result of the Stock Split, on September 30, 2019, each share of the Company’s common stock issued at that time
was changed into one and one-half shares of the Company’s common stock with a stated par value of $5.55 per share. All share
and per share amounts in this release, including in the accompanying financial statements and information, have been restated
for all periods presented to give retroactive effect to the Stock Split.

The adoption of ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities requires equity securities to run through the income statement and therefore the reclassification
of prior accumulated losses are reflected above.
The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income shown, net of tax and parenthesis indicating debits to net
income, as of December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 were as follows:

There were a total of 841,275 non-qualified employee stock options (Note 14) outstanding on December 31, 2020 that had a
weighted average strike price of $28.17. Options on December 31, 2019 had an average strike price of $29.29 with a total of
625,800 options outstanding. Grants outstanding at year-end 2018 totaled to 395,550 options with an average strike price of
$30.08. Grants were included, on a weighted average basis, in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the 2019 period
for grants where the average market price of common shares exceeded the strike price of the options. These options were
excluded, on a weighted average basis, in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the 2020 and 2018 periods presented
due to the average market price of common shares being less than the strike price of the options.

At December 31, 2020 there were 28 individual securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months
and 6 individual securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months.
The Corporation reviews its position quarterly and has asserted that at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the declines outlined in the
above table represent temporary declines and the Corporation does not intend to sell and does not believe they will be required
to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity. The Corporation has concluded that any
impairment of its investment securities portfolio is not other than temporary but is the result of interest rate changes that are not
expected to result in the non-collection of principal and interest during the period.
The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at December 31, 2020, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected
maturities may differ from contractual maturities since borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or
without call or prepayment penalties.

NOTE 5 - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK
The Banks are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Pittsburgh and as such, are required to maintain a
minimum investment in stock of the FHLB that varies with the level of advances outstanding with the FHLB. The stock is
bought from and sold to the FHLB based upon its $100 par value. The stock does not have a readily determinable fair value
and as such is classified as restricted stock, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment as necessary. The stock’s value is
determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines. The determination of
whether the par value will ultimately be recovered is influenced by criteria such as the following: (a) the significance of the
decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount and the length of time this situation has persisted
(b) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the
operating performance (c) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLB and (d) the
liquidity position of the FHLB.
Management evaluated the stock and concluded that the stock was not impaired for the periods presented herein. Management
considered that the FHLB maintains regulatory capital ratios in excess of all regulatory capital requirements, liquidity appears
adequate, new shares of FHLB stock continue to change hands at the $100 par value, and the payment of dividends.
NOTE 6 - LOAN CREDIT QUALITY AND RELATED ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Management segments the Banks' loan portfolio to a level that enables risk and performance monitoring according to similar
risk characteristics. Loans are segmented based on the underlying collateral characteristics. Categories include commercial,
financial, and agricultural, real estate, consumer automobile, and other consumer installment loans. Real estate loans are further
segmented into three categories: residential, commercial, and construction.
The following table presents the related aging categories of loans, by segment, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Impaired Loans
Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable the Banks will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Banks individually evaluate such loans for impairment and do not aggregate loans
by major risk classifications. The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of “non-accrual loans,”
although the two categories overlap. The Banks may choose to place a loan on non-accrual status due to payment delinquency
or uncertain collectability, while not classifying the loan as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining
impairment include payment status and collateral value. The amount of impairment for these types of loans is determined by
the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its
recorded value, or as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the
collateral and the recorded amount of the loan. When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value
of the collateral.
Management evaluates individual loans in all of the commercial segments for possible impairment if the loan is greater than
$100,000 and if the loan is either on non-accrual status or has a risk rating of substandard or worse. Management may also
elect to measure an individual loan for impairment if less than $100,000 on a case by case basis.
66
Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous
loans and are measured for impairment collectively with the exception of loans identified as troubled debt restructurings. Loans
that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances
surrounding the loan and the borrower including the length of the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount
of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Interest income for impaired loans is recorded consistent to the Banks'
policy.

At December 31, 2020, additional funds totaling $5,000 are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans.
Modifications
The loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR"), where
economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial
difficulties. These concessions typically result from loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate,
payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at
the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment
performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.
Loan modifications that are considered TDRs completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as

Internal Risk Ratings
Management uses a ten point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six
categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by
management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently
protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a
Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of
the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater
than 90 days past due are evaluated for Substandard classification. Loans in the Doubtful category exhibit the same weaknesses
found in the Substandard loans, however, the weaknesses are more pronounced. Such loans are static and collection in full is
improbable. However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt.
Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectible and charge-off is imminent.
To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed,
the Banks have a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and
residential mortgage loans are included in the pass category unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death
occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. An external semi-annual loan review of large commercial relationships is
performed, as well as a sample of smaller transactions. The 2020 loan review has an aggregate commercial relationship
threshold of $1,750,000 which can consist of outstanding loans, commercial real estate mortgages and outstanding
commitments. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as substandard, doubtful, or
loss on a quarterly basis.

Allowance for Loan Losses
An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio. The ALL is based on
management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current
economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated future loss
experience, and the amount of non-performing loans.
The Banks' methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans
individually evaluated for impairment (previously discussed) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for
impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank
regulatory guidance. The total of the two components represents the Banks' ALL.
Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate.
Allowances are segmented based on collateral characteristics previously disclosed, and consistent with credit quality
monitoring. Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are grouped into two classes for evaluation. A general
allowance is determined for “Pass” rated credits, while a separate pool allowance is provided for “Criticized” rated credits that
are not individually evaluated for impairment.
For the general allowances historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio. These historical
loss amounts are modified by other qualitative factors. A historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing a twelve quarter
moving average. However, management may adjust the moving average time frame by up to four quarters to adjust for
variances in the economic cycle. Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to
supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the
existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience. The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated
using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are: levels of and trends in delinquency rates
and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and
depth of lending staff; national and economic trends and conditions; concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry, and/or
geographic standpoint; value of underlying collateral on collateral depended loans; effect of other external factors; and the
quality of the loan review system. During 2020, certain qualitative factors were increased to account for the economic changes,
continued economic uncertainty, and level of loan payment deferrals caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Loans in the criticized pools, which possess certain qualities or characteristics that may lead to collection and loss issues, are
closely monitored by management and subject to additional qualitative factors. Management also monitors industry loss factors
by loan segment for applicable adjustments to actual loss experience.
Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL.
When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the
ALL.
Over the last three years, various quantitative and qualitative factors indicate changes in our provision for loan losses. The
provision for commercial and agricultural loans decreased during 2020 due to levels and trends of nonaccrual loans in our
portfolio and a decline in charge-offs. The change in the provision for residential real estate loans vary based on our
observations of industry trends during 2020 in national and market area foreclosure rates and the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic. The provision for this loan type is adjusted by national indices as well as our historical losses. The provision for
commercial and construction real estate loans increased as the economic environment has softened as the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic is felt within the markets we serve. The provision for consumer automobiles decreased slightly due to the
leveling off of indirect loan volume. The provision for other consumer installment loans has decreased as the level of charge-
offs has declined. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in various businesses operating at less than 100% capacity, an increase
in the unemployment rate, and an increase in the number of loans that have been granted payment deferrals. In response to the
71
uncertainty in both the business and consumer sectors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and as well as the level of precision
in estimating the effects of a pandemic, a higher than normal unallocated reserve is considered necessary.
Activity in the allowance is presented for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018:

NOTE 8 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, goodwill had a gross carrying value of $17,380,000 and accumulated amortization of
$276,000 resulting in a net carrying amount of $17,104,000.
The gross carrying amount of goodwill is tested for impairment annually. Based on the fair value of the reporting unit,
estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows, there was no evidence of impairment of the carrying amount at
December 31, 2020 or 2019.
Identifiable intangibles are amortized to their estimated residual values over the expected useful lives. Such lives are also
periodically reassessed to determine if any amortization period adjustments are required. Since the acquisition, no such
adjustments were recorded. The identifiable intangible assets consist of a core deposit intangible and a trade name intangible
which are being amortized on an accelerated basis, and also book of business intangible that is being amortized on a straight-
line basis over the useful life of such assets. The net carrying amount of the core deposit intangible, the trade name intangible,
and the book of business intangible at December 31, 2020 was $145,000, $11,000, and $515,000 respectively, with $1,736,000,
$122,000, and $505,000 accumulated amortization as of that date.
As of December 31, 2020, the estimated future amortization expense for the core deposit and trade name intangible was:

capital losses to recover taxes paid in previous years and certain tax strategies, together with the anticipated future taxable
income as evidenced by the Corporation’s earning potential. The Corporation is no longer subject to federal, state, and local
examinations by tax authorities for years before 2017.

The investment objective for the Plan is to maximize total return with tolerance for slightly above average risk, meaning the
fund is able to tolerate short-term volatility to achieve above-average returns over the long term.
Asset allocation favors equities, with target allocation of approximately 62% equity securities, 15.0% fixed income securities,
10% inflation hedges/real assets, 10% hedged strategies, and 3% cash. Due to volatility in the market, the target allocation is
not always desirable and asset allocations will fluctuate between the acceptable ranges. The equity portfolio’s exposure is
primarily in mid and large capitalization domestic equities with limited exposure to small capitalization and international
stocks.
It is management’s intent to give the investment managers flexibility, within the overall guidelines, with respect to investment
decisions and their timing. However, certain investments require specific review and approval by management. Management is
also informed of anticipated, significant modifications of any previously approved investment, or anticipated use of derivatives
to execute investment strategies.

The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following is a summary of the

The estimated fair value of options, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a straightline basis
over the options’ vesting periods while ensuring that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at least equals the
value of the vested portion of the award at that date. The Corporation determines the fair value of options granted using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury bond with a similar term
to the expected life of the options at the grant date. Expected volatility was estimated based on the adjusted historic volatility of
the Corporation’s shares. The expected life was estimated to equal the contractual life of the options. The dividend yield rate
was based upon recent historical dividends paid on shares.
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 there was $854,000, $680,000, and $486,000 in total share-based
compensation expense, respectively. The compensation expense is recorded as part of the non-interest expenses in the
Consolidated Statement of Income.
As of December 31, 2020, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options was $1,891,000 which is
expected to be recognized over a period of 2.68 years. Exercisable stock awards at December 31, 2020 were 94,500 with a
weighted average remaining exercisable contractual life of 5.66 years
NOTE 15 - EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Corporation maintains the Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Plan”). The Plan is intended to
encourage employee participation in the ownership and economic progress of the Corporation. The Plan allows for up to
1,500,000 shares to be purchased by employees. The purchase price of the shares is 95% of fair value with an employee
eligible to purchase up to the lesser of 15% of base compensation or $12,000 in fair value annually. There were 3,972 and
3,414 shares issued under the plan for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 16 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain directors and executive officers of the Corporation and the Banks, including their immediate families and companies in
which they are principal owners (more than ten percent), are indebted to the Corporation. Such indebtedness was incurred in
the ordinary course of business on the same terms and at those rates prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
others.
A summary of loan activity with executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and associates of such persons is listed
below for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

December 31, 2019.
NOTE 17 - OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the
financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, or liquidity risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the
Corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments
to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Corporation
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The Corporation may require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows at December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.
The Corporation evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if
deemed necessary by the Corporation, on an extension of credit is based on management’s credit assessment of the
counterparty.
Standby letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a
customer to a third party. These instruments are issued primarily to support bid or performance related contracts. The coverage
period for these instruments is typically a one year period with an annual renewal option subject to prior approval by
management. Fees earned from the issuance of these letters are recognized upon expiration of the coverage period. For secured
letters of credit, the collateral is typically Bank deposit instruments or customer business assets.

NOTE 18 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Federal regulations require the Corporation and the Banks to maintain minimum amounts of capital. Specifically, each is
required to maintain certain minimum dollar amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1, Total, and Tier 1 capital to risk-
weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average total assets.
In addition to the capital requirements, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”) established
five capital categories ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” Should any institution fail to meet the
requirements to be considered “adequately capitalized,” it would become subject to a series of increasingly restrictive
regulatory actions.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the FDIC categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be classified as a well capitalized financial institution, common equity tier I risk-based, tier I
risked-based, total risk-based, and tier I leverage capital ratios must be at least 6.5%, 8%, 10%, and 5%, respectively.
The Corporation’s and the Banks' actual capital ratios (using the definitions from the prompt corrective action rules) are
presented in the following tables, which shows that the Corporation and both Banks met all regulatory capital requirements.

NOTE 19 - REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS
The Pennsylvania Banking Code restricts the availability of capital funds for payment of dividends by all state-chartered banks.
Accordingly, at December 31, 2020, the balance in the additional paid in capital account totaling $11,657,000 for JSSB and
$42,214,000 for Luzerne is unavailable for dividends.
The Banks are subject to regulatory restrictions, which limit the ability to loan funds to Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. At
December 31, 2020, the regulatory lending limit amounted to approximately $23,343,000.
Cash and Due from Banks
JSSB and Luzerne had no reserve requirements by the district Federal Reserve Bank at December 31, 2020 or 2019; however, if
they did they would be reported with cash and due from banks. The required reserves are computed by applying prescribed
ratios to the classes of average deposit balances. These are held in the form of cash on hand and a balance maintained directly
with the Federal Reserve Bank.
NOTE 20 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following disclosures show the hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observations utilized
in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels of pricing observations are as follows:
Level I:
Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.
Level II:
Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable
as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are
available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the
parameters of which can be directly observed.
Level III:
Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value
drivers are unobservable.
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.
The following table presents the assets reported on the balance sheet at their fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31,
2020 and 2019, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(1) Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation
expenses.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s impaired loans using the
discounted cash flow valuation technique include temporary changes in payment amounts and the probability of default.
87
Significant increases (decreases) in payment amounts would result in significantly higher (lower) fair value measurements. The
probability of default is 0% for impaired loans using the discounted cash flow valuation technique because all defaulted
impaired loans are valued using the appraisal of collateral valuation technique.
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s impaired loans using the appraisal
of collateral valuation technique include appraisal adjustments, which are adjustments to appraisals by management for
qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The significant unobservable input used in
the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s other real estate owned are the same inputs used to value impaired loans using
the appraisal of collateral valuation technique.
NOTE 21 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation is required to disclose fair values for its financial instruments. Fair values are made at a specific point in time,
based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These fair values do not reflect any
premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation’s entire holdings of a particular
financial instrument. Also, it is the Corporation’s general practice and intention to hold most of its financial instruments to
maturity and not to engage in trading or sales activities. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Corporation’s
financial instruments, fair values are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic
conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These fair values are subjective in nature and
involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in
assumptions can significantly affect the fair values.
Fair values have been determined by the Corporation using historical data and an estimation methodology suitable for each
category of financial instruments. The Corporation’s fair values, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the
Corporation’s other financial instruments.
As certain assets and liabilities, such as deferred tax assets, premises and equipment, and many other operational elements of
the Corporation, are not considered financial instruments but have value, the fair value of financial instruments would not
represent the full fair value of the Corporation.
The fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments not required to be measured or reported at fair value are as follows at

NOTE 24 - REVENUE RECOGNITION
On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) and all
subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method, and applied the guidance to all contracts in
scope that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are
presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our
historic accounting under Topic 605.
The core principle of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, is that an entity recognize revenue at an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
Topic 606 requires entities to exercise more judgment when considering the terms of a contract than under Topic 605, Revenue
Recognition. Topic 606 applies to all contracts with customers to provide goods or services in the ordinary course of business,
except for contracts that are specifically excluded from its scope.
Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with interest income on financial instruments, including loans and securities.
Additionally, certain noninterest income streams such as certain credit and debit card fees, income from bank owned life
insurance, and gain and losses on sales of investment securities are out of scope of Topic 606.
Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as service charges on deposit accounts, merchant income, wire
transfer income, check cashing fees, check printing fees, safe deposit box rental fees, life insurance and brokerage commissions.
These revenue streams are largely transactional based and revenue is recognized upon completion of transaction.
Principal versus Agent Considerations
When more than one party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, Topic 606 requires the Corporation to
determine whether it is the principal or an agent in these transactions by evaluating the nature of its promise to the customer.
An entity is a principal and therefore records revenue on a gross basis if it controls a promised good or service before
transferring that good or service to the customer. An entity is an agent and records as revenue the net amount it retains for its
agency services if its role is to arrange for another entity to provide the goods or services. The Corporation most commonly
acts as a principal and records revenue on a gross basis, except in certain circumstances. As an example, revenues earned from
interchange fees, in which the Corporation acts as an agent, are recorded as non-interest income, net of the related expenses
paid to the principal. Brokerage and insurance commissions are recognized when The M Group's services to the broker dealer
and investment representative are complete.
Debit Card Fees
Interchange fees are one source of debit and credit card income that is comprised of an amount merchants pay card-issuing
banks for the processing of their electronic transactions as a form of payment. ATM service charges, check card usage, and
POS debit card transactions generate interchange and debit card income. Per Topic 606 interchange and debit card transaction
fees are reported net of related network costs. See Note 1 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements. Prior to the adoption of Topic
91
606, non-interest expense included network costs. Interchange and debit card transaction fees at December 31, 2020, 2019, and
2018 are reported on a net basis of $1,280,000, $1,378,000 and $1,534,000, respectively. The below table compares gross
interchange and debit card transaction fees net network costs for 2020, 2019, and 2018:

ITEM 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Corporation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the
Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Corporation’s President and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness as of December 31, 2020 of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls
and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that
evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Corporation’s President and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2020.
There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2020 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Corporation’s internal control over financial
reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency (as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard
No. 2), or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by management or
employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020.
Management’s assessment did not identify any material weaknesses in the Corporation’s internal control over financial
reporting.
In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission ("COSO") in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by COSO in May 2013. Because there
were no material weaknesses discovered, management believes that, as of December 31, 2020, the Corporation’s internal
control over financial reporting was effective.
S.R. Snodgrass, P.C. an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements
included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019; the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2020; and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial
statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered
with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and are required to be independent, with
respect to the Company, in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to
obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits
also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial
statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to
accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements; and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter, in any way, our
opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters
below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they
relate.
94 Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL)
Description of the Matter
The Company’s loan portfolio totaled $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2020, and the associated ALL was $13.8
million. As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, determining the amount of the ALL
requires significant judgment about the collectability of loans, which includes an assessment of quantitative factors
such as historical loss experience within each risk category of loans and testing of certain commercial loans for
impairment. Management applies additional qualitative adjustments to reflect the inherent losses that exist in the
loan portfolio at the balance sheet date that are not reflected in the historical loss experience. Qualitative
adjustments are made based upon changes in lending policies and practices, depth of lending staff, economic
conditions, changes in the loan portfolio mix, trends in loan delinquencies and nonaccrual loans, collateral values,
and concentrations of credit risk for the commercial loan portfolios.
We identified these qualitative adjustments within the ALL as critical audit matters because they involve a high
degree of subjectivity. In turn, auditing management’s judgments regarding the qualitative factors applied in the
ALL calculation involved a high degree of subjectivity.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We gained an understanding of the Company’s process for establishing the ALL, including the qualitative
adjustments made to the ALL. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the
Company’s ALL process, which included, among others, management’s review and approval controls designed to
assess the need and level of qualitative adjustments to the ALL, as well as the reliability of the data utilized to
support management’s assessment.
To test the qualitative adjustments, we evaluated the appropriateness of management’s methodology and assessed
whether all relevant risks were reflected in the ALL and the need to consider qualitative adjustments, including the
potential effect of COVID-19 on the adjustments.
Regarding the measurement of the qualitative adjustments, we evaluated the completeness, accuracy, and relevance
of the data and inputs utilized in management’s estimate. For example, we compared the inputs and data to the
Company’s system reports and other internal sources and considered the existence of new or contrary information.
Furthermore, we analyzed the changes in the components of the qualitative reserves relative to changes in external
market factors, the Company’s loan portfolio, and asset quality trends, which included the evaluation of
management’s ability to capture and assess relevant data from both external sources and internal reports on loan
customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the supporting documentation for substantiating revisions to
qualitative factors.
We also utilized internal credit review specialists with knowledge to evaluate the appropriateness of management’s
risk-rating processes, to ensure that the risk ratings applied to the commercial loan portfolio were reasonable.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1999.

ARTICLE I.
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS.
Section 101.
Place of Meetings. All meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such place or places,
within or without the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors from time
to time. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a meeting of the shareholders is held by means of the internet or
other electronic communications technology in a fashion pursuant to which the shareholders have the opportunity to
read or hear the proceedings substantially concurrently with their occurrence, vote on matters submitted to the
shareholders, pose questions to the directors, make appropriate motions and comment on the business of the
meeting, the meeting need not be held at a particular geographic location.
Section 102.
Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the shareholders for the election of Directors
and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held on such a day, at
such hour, and at such place, consistent with applicable law, as the Board shall from time to time designate or as
may be designated in any notice from the Secretary calling the meeting.
Section 103.
Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the
Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, or the President. Business transacted at all special meetings shall be
confined to the objects stated in the notice and matters germane thereto, unless all shareholders entitled to vote are
present and shall have otherwise consented thereto.
Section 104.
Conduct of Shareholders’ Meetings. The President shall preside at all shareholders’
meetings. In the absence of the President, the Secretary shall preside or, in his/her absence, any officer designated
by the Board of Directors. The officer presiding over the shareholders’ meeting shall have any and all powers and
authority necessary, and may establish such rules and regulations, as he/she may deem to be reasonably necessary or
desirable to conduct an orderly and expeditious meeting, preserve order and determine any and all procedural
matters, including the proper means of obtaining the floor, who shall have the right to address the meeting, the
manner in which shareholders will be recognized to speak, imposing reasonable limits on the amount of time at the
meeting taken up in remarks by any one shareholder or group of shareholders, the number of times a shareholder
may address the meeting, and the person to whom questions should be addressed. Unless the officer presiding over
the shareholders’ meeting otherwise requires, shareholders need not vote by ballot on any question.
Section 105.
Quorum of Shareholders. The presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to
cast at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast on a particular matter to be acted upon
at the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of consideration and action on the matter. The presence or
participation, including voting and taking other action, at a meeting of shareholders or the expression of consent or
dissent to corporate action by a shareholder by conference telephone or other electronic means, including, without
limitation, the internet, shall constitute the presence of, or vote or action by, or consent or dissent of the shareholder
for purposes of these bylaws. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until
adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. If a meeting
cannot be organized because a quorum has not attended, those present may, except as otherwise provided by law,
adjourn the meeting to such time and place as they may determine.
Section 106.
Agenda for Annual Meeting. Matters to be placed on the agenda for consideration at
annual meetings of shareholders may be proposed by the Board of Directors or by any shareholder entitled to vote
for the election of Directors. Matters proposed for the agenda by shareholders entitled to vote for the election of

to the Secretary of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred and fifty (150) days
102
prior to any annual meeting of shareholders. Each such notification notice given by a shareholder shall set forth: (a)
the name, business address and residence address of the notifying shareholder; (b) the number of shares of capital
stock of the Corporation owned by the notifying shareholder; (c) a brief description of the business desired to be
brought before the annual meeting; and (d) any interest (other than an interest solely as a shareholder) which the
notifying shareholder (or any affiliates or associates of the notifying shareholder) has in the business being proposed
by the notifying shareholder. The officer presiding over the meeting of shareholders may determine and declare to
the meeting that a matter proposed for the agenda was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if
he/she should so determine, he/she shall so declare to the meeting and the matter shall be disregarded.
Section 107.
Notice of Meetings of Shareholders.
(a) Notice of all meetings of shareholders shall be delivered, personally, by courier
service, charges prepaid, by first class, express or bulk mail, postage prepaid, facsimile transmission, e-mail or other
electronic communication addressed to the shareholder at his or her postal address, facsimile number, e-mail address
or other electronic communication location as it appears on the books of the Company or as supplied by such
shareholder to the Company for the purpose of notice, by or at the direction of the Chief Executive Officer, the
Secretary or the officer or persons calling the meeting.
(b) Notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be delivered not less than ten (10) days,
or in the case of bulk mail not less than twenty (20) days, before the date of the meeting. If the notice is sent by mail
or courier, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail or with a courier
service for delivery to the shareholder. If the notice is sent by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic communication,
such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when sent to the shareholder.
Section 108.
Proxies and Revocation of Proxies. Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of
shareholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Every proxy shall be executed or
authenticated by the shareholder, or by his duly authorized attorney in fact, and filed or transmitted to with the
Secretary of the Corporation. A proxy, unless coupled with an interest, shall be revocable at will, notwithstanding
any agreement or any provision to the contrary, but the revocation of a proxy shall not be effective until an executed
or authenticated notice thereof shall have been given to the Secretary of the Corporation or its designated agent in
writing or by electronic transmission. A telegram, telex, cablegram, datagram, e-mail, Internet communication or
other means of electronic transmission from a shareholder or attorney-in-fact, or a photographic, facsimile or similar
reproduction of a writing executed by a shareholder or attorney-in-fact: (1) may, at the discretion of the Secretary,
be treated as properly executed or authenticated for purposes of this subsection; and (2) shall be so treated if it sets
forth or utilizes a confidential and unique identification number or other mark furnished by the Corporation to the
shareholder for the purposes of a particular meeting or transaction. No unrevoked proxy shall be valid after three (3)
years from the date of its execution, authentication or transmission, unless a longer time is expressly provided
therein. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless before the vote is counted or
the authority is exercised, written notice of such death or incapacity is given to the Secretary of the Corporation or
its designated agent.

reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer and/or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust of other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 502.

or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the act that such person is or was
a director of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: common stock, $5.55 par value per share (the “Common
Stock”). The following summarizes the provisions of the Common Stock under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the
Corporation and under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the “PBCL”). The
summary should be read in conjunction to the complete text of the articles of incorporation and bylaws and the PBCL.
Exhibit 4(i)
Authorized Shares of Capital Stock
The authorized capital stock consists of 22,500,000 shares of Common Stock and 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
As of March 1, 2021, there were 7,056,712 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. No shares of preferred stock were
issued and outstanding as of March 1, 2021.
Common Stock
Voting Rights
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for every share having voting power on all matters submitted for
action by the shareholders. Holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The
Corporation’s articles of incorporation provide that a merger, consolidation, liquidation, or dissolution of the Corporation
requires the affirmative vote of 66-2/3% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, in addition to any vote required by law.
This provision does not apply to any merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction if (i) members of the
Corporation’s board of directors will constitute at least a majority of the of the board of directors or the surviving or new
corporation or entity immediately after the transaction and (ii) shareholders of the Corporation will hold in the aggregate voting
shares of the surviving or new corporation or entity to be outstanding immediately after completion of the transaction entitled to
cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast generally for the election of directors.
Dividends and Distributions
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably if, as and when dividends are declared from time to
time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, after payment of dividends required to be paid on
outstanding preferred stock, if any.
Ranking
Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably the assets
available for distribution to the shareholders after payment of liabilities and accumulated and unpaid dividends and liquidation
preferences on outstanding preferred stock, if any.
No Conversion Rights; No Preemptive Rights; No Redemption
Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights and are not subject to further calls or assessment
by the Corporation. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights,
preferences and privileges of holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the
holders of shares of any series of preferred stock, which our board of directors may designate and issue in the future without
further shareholder approval.
Stock Exchange Listing
The Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol, “PWOD.”
Fully Paid and Nonassessable
Outstanding shares of Common Stock are validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.
113
Preferred Stock
The Corporation’s articles of incorporation authorize the board of directors to fix by resolution the voting rights,
designations and preferences, priorities, qualifications, privileges, limitations, restrictions, options, conversion rights, dividend
features, retirement features, liquidation features, redemption features and other special or relative rights of the preferred stock
and any series thereof. The board of directors has full authority to issue authorized preferred stock from time to time in one or
more series, without further shareholder approval.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Certain provisions of the Corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws and the PBCL may have the have the effect of
delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Corporation:
Pennsylvania Anti-Takeover Provisions
Certain anti-takeover provisions of the PBCL apply to Pennsylvania registered corporations (e.g., publicly traded
companies) including those relating to (1) control share acquisitions, (2) disgorgement of profits by certain controlling persons,
(3) business combination transactions with interested shareholders, and (4) the rights of shareholders to demand fair value for
their stock following a control transaction. Pennsylvania law allows corporations to opt-out of these anti-takeover sections
under certain circumstances, but the Corporation has not opted out of any of these anti-takeover provisions. A general summary
of these applicable anti-takeover provisions is set forth below.
Control Share Acquisitions. Pennsylvania law regarding control share acquisitions relates to the act of acquiring for the
first time voting power over voting shares (other than (i) shares owned continuously by the same natural person since January 1,
1988, (ii) shares beneficially owned by any natural person or trust, estate, foundation or similar entity to the extent such shares
were acquired solely by gift, inheritance, bequest, device or other testamentary distribution, directly or indirectly, from a natural
person who beneficially owned the shares prior to January 1, 1988 or (iii) shares acquired pursuant to a stock split, stock
dividend or similar distribution with respect to shares that have been beneficially owned continuously since their issuance by
the Corporation by the shareholder that acquired them from the Corporation or that were acquired from such shareholder
pursuant to (ii) above) equal to: (a) at least 20% but less than 33 1/3%; (b) at least 33 1/3% but less than 50%; or (c) 50% or
more of the voting power of the corporation. Once a control share acquisition has occurred, then all shares in excess of the
triggering threshold, plus shares purchased at any time with the intention of acquiring such voting power or shares purchased
within 180 days of the date the triggering threshold was exceeded, are considered control shares. Control shares cannot vote
either until their voting rights have been restored by two separate votes of the shareholders, as described below, or until they
have been transferred to a person who is not an affiliate of the transferor and does not thereby also become the holder of control
shares.
The holder of control shares may wait until the next annual or special meeting after the acquisition took place to
submit the question of the restoration of voting rights to the shareholders, or the acquiring person may accelerate the process by
agreeing to underwrite the cost of a special meeting of shareholders for that purpose. In either case, the acquiring person is
required to furnish for distribution to the shareholders an information statement containing a detailed disclosure concerning the
acquiring person, its intentions with respect to ownership of securities of the corporation and other matters. As an alternative, a
person submitting a bona fide written offer to make a control share acquisition may request prospective approval by the
shareholders of the exercise of the voting rights of the shares proposed to be acquired, provided that the control share
acquisition is consummated within 90 days after shareholder approval is obtained. Two shareholder votes are required to
approve the restoration of voting rights. First, the approval of a majority of all voting power must be obtained. Second, the
approval of a majority of all disinterested shareholders must be obtained.
For a period of 24 months after the later of (a) a control share acquisition by an acquiring person who does not
properly request consideration of voting rights, or (b) the denial of such a request or lapse of voting rights, the corporation may
redeem all the control shares at the average of the high and low public market sales price of the shares on the date notice of the
call for redemption is given by the corporation.
Disgorgement of Profits by Certain Controlling Persons. Pennsylvania law regarding disgorgement of profits by
certain controlling persons applies in the event that (a) any person or group directly or indirectly publicly discloses or causes to
be disclosed that the person or group may seek to acquire control of the corporation, or (b) a person or group acquires, offers to
acquire or directly or indirectly publicly discloses or causes to be disclosed an intent to acquire) 20% or more of the voting
power of the corporation and, in either case, sells shares within 18 months thereafter. Any profits from sales of equity securities
of the corporation received by the person or group during such 18-month period will belong to the corporation if the securities
114
that were sold were acquired during the 18-month period after or within 24 months prior to becoming a controlling person.
Business Combination Transactions with Interested Shareholders. Pennsylvania law regarding business combination
transactions with interested shareholders provides that a person who acquires the direct or indirect beneficial ownership of
shares entitled to cast at least 20% of the votes entitled to be cast for the election of directors or an affiliate or associate of the
corporation who at any time within the prior five years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% of the voting
shares of the corporation is an “interested shareholder.” A corporation subject to this provision may not effect mergers or
certain other business combinations with the interested shareholder for a period of five years, unless:
•
•
•
the business combination or the acquisition of stock by means of which the interested shareholder became an interested
shareholder is approved by the corporation’s board of directors prior to such stock acquisition;
the business combination is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of all the outstanding common shares of
the corporation; or
the business combination is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all shares entitled to vote,
excluding votes of shares held by the interested shareholders or their affiliates, and at the time of such vote, the
interested shareholder is the beneficial owner of at least 80% of the voting shares of the corporation. This exception
applies only if the value of the consideration to be paid by the interested shareholder in connection with the business
combination satisfies certain fair price requirements.
After the five-year restricted period, an interested shareholder of the corporation may engage in a business
combination with the corporation if (a) the business combination is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
other than those beneficially owned by the interested shareholder and its affiliates, or (b) the merger is approved at a
shareholders meeting and certain fair price requirements are met.
Rights of Shareholders to Demand Full Value for their Stock Following Control Transaction. Under Pennsylvania law,
a control transaction is an acquisition by a person or group of the voting power over at least 20% of the voting shares of the
corporation. Subject to exceptions, if a Pennsylvania registered corporation is subject to a control transaction, the controlling
person or group must provide prompt notice of the transaction to the court and each shareholder of record holding voting
shares. Any holder of voting shares may make a written demand on the controlling person or group for payment in cash of the
fair value of each voting share at the date on which the control transaction occurs. The minimum value that a shareholder can
receive is the highest price paid per share by the controlling person or group within the 90-day period ending on and including
the date of the control transaction. If any shareholder believes the fair value of her shares is higher than the price offered by the
controlling person or group, the shareholder may file a petition with the court seeking appraisal of the shares.
Blank Check Preferred Stock
The articles of incorporation provide for the issuance of preferred stock having terms established by the Corporation’s
board of directors without shareholder approval.
Staggered Board of Directors
The articles of incorporation provide for the classification of the board of directors into three classes with each class
serving a staggered three-year term. As a result of this classification, only one third of the entire board of directors stands for
election in any one year and a minimum of two annual meetings would be required to elect a majority of the board of directors.
Calling of Special Meetings of Shareholders
Pursuant to the bylaws, special meetings of shareholders may only be called by the Chairman of the Corporation’s
board of directors, by the Corporation’s board of directors, or by the President of the Corporation.
Advance Notice Requirements for Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations
The bylaws provide that notice of any proposal by a shareholder which the shareholder desires to submit to a vote at an
annual meeting, including any director nominations, must made by notice in writing, delivered or mailed by first class United
States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred and
fifty (150) days prior to any annual meeting of shareholders. The bylaws also specify requirements as to the contents of the
shareholder’s notice or nomination. If notice is not provided in accordance with these provisions, a shareholder’s proposal will
not appear on the meeting agenda.
115
Removal of Directors
Under Pennsylvania law and the Corporation’s articles of incorporation, directors can be removed from office by a
vote of shareholders only for cause.
Board of Directors May Oppose Any Take-Over Offer
The articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors may, if it deems it advisable, oppose a tender, or other
offer for the Corporation’s securities, whether the contemplated payment is in cash or in the securities of a corporation, or some
other form of consideration. When considering whether to oppose an offer, the board of directors may consider any pertinent
issues, including any or all of the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
whether the offer price is acceptable based on the historical and present operating results or financial condition of the
Corporation;
whether a more favorable price could be obtained for the Corporation’s securities in the future;
the impact which an acquisition of the Corporation would have on the employees, depositors and customers of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries in the community which they serve;
the reputation and business practices of the offeror and its management and affiliates as they would affect the
employees, depositors and customers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and the future value of the Corporation’s
stock;
the value of the securities (if any) which the offeror is offering in exchange for the Corporation’s securities, based on
an analysis of the worth of the Corporation as compared to the corporation or other entity whose securities are being
offered; and
any antitrust or other legal and regulatory issues that are raised by the offer.
If the board of directors determines that an offer should be rejected, it may take any lawful action to accomplish its
purpose including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
advising shareholders not to accept the offer;
litigation against the offeror;
filing complaints with governmental and regulatory authorities;
acquiring the authorized but unissued securities or treasury stock or granting options with respect thereto;
acquiring a Corporation to create an antitrust or other regulatory problem for the offeror; and
obtaining a more favorable offer from another individual or entity.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
Under the PBCL, an amendment to the articles of incorporation requires, except in limited cases where a greater vote
may be required, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders entitled to vote on the matter and the
affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders within each class or series of shares if such class or series is
entitled to vote on the matter as a class. The PBCL also provides that our shareholders are not entitled by statute to propose
amendments to the articles of incorporation.
The articles of incorporation provide that, in addition to any affirmative vote required by law, the approval of any
amendment to Article 13 (business combinations) of the articles of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of holders of at
least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of voting stock.
Amendments to Bylaws
The bylaws provide that our bylaws may be amended or repealed, in whole or in part, by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the board of directors at any regular or special meeting of the board of directors. The PBCL provides that the ability
of our board of directors to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws is subject to the power of shareholders to change such action.
The PBCL also provides that the board of directors does not have the authority to adopt or change a bylaw on specified
subjects, including, but not limited to, authorized capital, the personal liability of directors, various matters relating to our board
of directors, and matters relating to the voting rights of shareholders.
