3rd Quarter 2020 vs 3rd Quarter 2019

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income for the current quarter totaled $15.9 million compared to $15.1 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $0.8 million, or 4.8%, due primarily to increases of $0.2 million in interest income on loans, including fees, $0.1 million in interest and dividend income on taxable securities, and a decrease of $0.8 million in total interest expense, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in interest income on interest-earning deposits.

The increase in loan income was due primarily to an increase of $0.4 million in interest income on commercial loans primarily attributable to a $210.1 million increase in average balances on commercial loans and the recognition of $1.2 million of PPP loan fees, offset by a decrease in portfolio average yield due to a decrease in interest rates. Interest income on mortgage loans increased $0.3 million primarily due to an increase of $36.3 million in average balances on mortgage loans. These increases were also offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in interest income on consumer loans which can be attributed to both decreases in average balances and average portfolio yield on consumer loans. The increase in interest and dividend income on taxable securities was due primarily to an increase in average invested balances of $67.2 million. The decrease in interest income on interest-earning deposits was due primarily to the sharp drop in interest rates on overnight deposits with the average yield on interest-earning deposits declining from 2.22% in the third quarter of 2019 to 0.31% in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to the decreases in average rates paid on interest-bearing checking, savings and money market products in response to the Federal Reserve's 50 and 100 basis points drop on overnight rates in March, 2020.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.20% for the third quarter 2020, compared to 3.63% for the same period in the prior year. Average interest-earning assets increased $320.3 million in the third quarter 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 66 basis points in the third quarter of 2020, while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 34 basis points, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Provision for loan losses for the current quarter totaled $0.7 million compared to $4.4 million for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $3.7 million. The decrease in provision for loan losses was primarily due to a specific impairment of $4.2 million related to a participation interest in a commercial credit in the third quarter of the prior year.

Non-Interest Income:

Non-interest income for the current quarter was $5.3 million compared to $5.0 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $0.3 million, or 7.7%. The increase can be mostly attributed to increases of $0.5 million in net gains on sales of residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market, $0.1 million in wealth management group fee income, and $0.1 million in other non-interest income, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in service charges on deposit accounts primarily attributable to a decrease in NSF and overdraft fees as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Non-Interest Expense:

Non-interest expense for the current quarter was $13.4 million compared to $13.5 million for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 1.2%. The decrease can be mostly attributed to decreases of $0.2 million in pension and other employee benefits, and $0.2 million in other non-interest expense, offset by an increase of $0.3 million in FDIC insurance. The decrease in pension and other employee benefits was primarily attributed to a decrease in healthcare expenses in the current quarter as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease in other non-interest expense can be primarily attributed to an overall decrease in spending during the third quarter of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in FDIC insurance was primarily due to the receipt of a $0.2 million credit in the third quarter of the prior year related to the Deposit Insurance Fund's (DIF) minimum reserve ratio assessment.

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense for the current quarter was $1.5 million compared to $0.2 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $1.3 million. The effective tax rate for the current quarter increased to 20.3% compared to 8.3% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in pretax income.

3rd Quarter 2020 vs 2nd Quarter 2020

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income for the current quarter totaled $15.9 million compared to $15.6 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.8%, due primarily to increases of $0.2 million in interest income and fees from loans, and $0.1 million in interest and dividend income on taxable securities.

The increase in interest income and fees from loans was primarily attributed to a $44.7 million increase in average loan balances in the third quarter and the recognition of $0.3 million of fees related to the PPP, offset by decreased average loan yield due to the decline in interest rates. The average yield on loans fell from 4.06% in the second quarter of 2020 to 3.91% in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in interest and dividend income on taxable securities can be primarily attributed to an increase in average invested balances of $43.6 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.20% in the current quarter compared to 3.26% in the prior quarter. Average interest-earning assets increased $54.9 million in the current quarter, while the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased eight basis points from 3.45% in the prior quarter to 3.37% in the current quarter. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased two basis points in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the prior quarter.

Provision for loan losses for the current quarter totaled $0.7 million compared to $0.3 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $0.4 million primarily due to an overall increase in loan volume. Although the Corporation continues to closely monitor the loan portfolio for effects related to COVID-19, an adjustment to the allowance specific to the COVID-19 pandemic was not necessary in the third quarter. Year to date 2020, the Company has increased the allowance by $4.5 million for future estimated credit losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-Interest Income:

Non-interest income for the current quarter was $5.3 million compared to $5.1 million for the prior quarter, an increase of
$0.2 million, or 5.1%. The increase in non-interest income can be attributed to increases of $0.3 million in net gains on sales of residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market and $0.2 million in service charges on deposit accounts, offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in other non-interest income. The increase in net gains on sales of loans held for sale was primarily due to an increase in residential mortgage loans originated and sold into the secondary market. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily attributed to an increase in NSF and overdraft fees. The decrease in other non-interest income was due primarily to a decrease in interest rate swap fees earned.

Non-Interest Expense:

Non-interest expense for the current quarter was $13.4 million compared to $13.2 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $0.2 million, or 1.0%. The increase can be mostly attributed to an increase in salaries and wage expense offset by a decrease in data processing expenses.

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense for the current quarter was $1.5 million compared to $1.4 million for the prior quarter, an increase of
$0.1 million in income tax expense. The effective tax rate for the current quarter increased to 20.3% compared to 18.9% in the prior period.

Asset Quality

Non-performing loans totaled $15.7 million at September 30, 2020, or 1.02% of total loans, compared to $18.0 million at December 31, 2019, or 1.38% of total loans. Non-performing assets, which are comprised of non-performing loans and other real estate owned, were $16.3 million, or 0.75% of total assets, at September 30, 2020, compared to $18.5 million, or 1.04% of total assets, at December 31, 2019. The decrease in non-performing loans can mostly be attributed to the charge off of one large commercial mortgage in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in non-performing assets can be attributed to the decrease in non-performing loans.

Management performs an ongoing assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors including an analysis of historical loss factors, collateral evaluations, recent charge-off experience, credit quality of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and loan growth. Management continues to evaluate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as it relates to the loan portfolio. As part of this analysis, management identified what it believes to be higher risk loans through a detailed analysis of industry codes. Management increased certain allowance qualitative factors based on its assessment of the impact of the current pandemic on local, national, and global economic conditions as well as the perceived risks inherent in specific industries and credit characteristics during the first half of 2020. Based on this approach, the Corporation determined that additional provision specifically related to the COVID-19 pandemic was not necessary in the third quarter of 2020. The total provision for loan losses for the current quarter was $0.7 million, due to an increase in loan volume during the quarter. Net charge-offs for the current quarter were $0.2 million, consistent with the same period in the prior year.

The allowance for loan losses was $24.6 million at September 30, 2020 compared to $23.5 million at December 31, 2019. The allowance for loan losses was 156.36% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2020 compared to 130.38% at December 31, 2019. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.60% at September 30, 2020 compared to 1.79% at December 31, 2019. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding PPP loans was 1.82% at September 30, 2020. The increase in the allowance for loan losses can be mostly attributed to increased loan volume during the third quarter of 2020.

Under Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), "Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt Restructurings" loans less than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 will be considered current for COVID-19 related modifications and therefore will not be treated as TDRs.

On June 17, 2020 the New York legislature passed, and Governor Cuomo signed, new legislation which allows certain borrowers to extend the period of forbearance on a primary residence if financial hardship is demonstrated as a result of COVID-19. At its highest point as of May 31, 2020, total loan forbearances represented 15.77% of the Corporation's total loan portfolio. As of September 30, 2020, total loan forbearances decreased to 2.98% of the total loan portfolio.

The above reflects the uncertain economic situation whereby the initial response by customers prompted a quick reaction to the unknown potential impact of COVID-19 on their business. Subsequently, customers may have reassessed their financial position prior to finalization of a modification, either modifying deferral requests or withdrawing the request altogether. In some cases, customers continued to make payments on modified loans. Of these modifications, 100% were considered current prior to the forbearance and primarily reflect deferrals for 90 days.

Balance Sheet Activity

Total assets were $2.165 billion at September 30, 2020 compared to $1.788 billion at December 31, 2019, an increase of $377.2 million, or 21.1%. The increase can be mostly attributed to increases of $229.3 million in loans, net of deferred fees, $112.2 million in securities available for sale, at estimated fair value, $17.9 million in interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions, $10.3 million in accrued interest receivable and other assets, offset by an increase of $1.1 million in allowance for loan losses. The increase in loans was due primarily to the growth of $216.1 million in commercial loans and $39.1 million in residential mortgages, offset by a decrease of $25.9 million in consumer loans. $189.8 million of the increase in loans related to the PPP. The increase in securities available for sale can be mostly attributed to purchases of $138.4 million and an increase in the value of the portfolio of $11.8 million due to decreases in interest rates, offset by $38.9 million in maturities and paydowns. The increase in interest earning deposits was due primarily to strong deposit growth in the first three quarters of 2020. The increase in other assets was due primarily to an increase of $10.4 million in interest rate swap assets.

Total liabilities were $1.968 billion at September 30, 2020 compared to $1.605 billion at December 31, 2019, an increase of $362.8 million, or 22.6%. The increase in total liabilities can primarily be attributed to increases of $352.1 million, or 22.4% in deposits, and $11.2 million in accrued interest payable and other liabilities. The increase in deposits was due primarily to increases of $61.6 million in consumer deposits, $220.7 million in commercial deposits, and $69.7 million in public deposits. The increase in deposits was partially attributed to the collection of stimulus checks and PPP loan disbursements. The increase in accrued interest payable and other liabilities was due primarily to an increase of $10.3 million in interest rate swap liabilities.

Total shareholders equity was $197.0 million at September 30, 2020 compared to $182.6 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of $14.4 million, or 7.9%. The increase in retained earnings of $10.3 million was due primarily to net income of $14.0 million offset by $3.7 million in dividends declared. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $7.4 million can mostly be attributed to an increase in the fair market value of the securities portfolio. Treasury stock increased $3.9 million primarily due to the Corporation's common stock repurchase program. As of September 30, 2020, 184,360 shares have been repurchased at an average cost of $27.57 per share.

The total equity to total assets ratio was 9.10% at September 30, 2020 compared to 10.22% at December 31, 2019. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.16% at September 30, 2020 compared to 9.07% at December 31, 2019. Book value per share increased to $41.51 at September 30, 2020 from $37.35 at December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the Banks capital ratios were in excess of those required to be considered well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Other Items

The market value of total assets under management or administration in our Wealth Management Group was $1.935 billion at September 30, 2020, including $299.0 million of assets under management or administration for the Corporation, compared to $1.915 billion at December 31, 2019, including $289.7 million of assets under management or administration for the Corporation, an increase of $20.0 million, or 1.1%. The increase in total assets under management or administration can be mostly attributed to an increase in the market value of total assets.

As previously announced on March 18, 2020, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program which replaces the previously authorized repurchase program. Under the new repurchase program, the Corporation may repurchase up to 250,000 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of its then outstanding shares. The repurchase program permits shares to be repurchased in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of September 30, 2020, the Corporation repurchased 184,360 shares of common stock at a total cost of $5.1 million under its share repurchase program. The weighted average cost was $27.57 per share repurchased. Remaining buyback authority under the share repurchase program was 65,640 shares at September 30, 2020.

As disclosed in the Corporation's August 20, 2020 Current Report on Form 8-K, the Corporation will consolidate two branches on or about November 20, 2020. The Big Flats, New York branch at 437 Maple Street, Big Flats, NY, will be consolidated into the nearby Arnot Road Office at 29 Arnot Road, Horseheads, NY. The Owego, New York branch located at 1054 State Route 17C, Owego, New York, will be consolidated into the nearby Owego branch office at 203 Main Street, Owego, New York.

Chemung Financial' s COVID-19 Pandemic Update

The Corporation continued to exercise COVID-19 precautions throughout its footprint, striving to ensure a healthy and safe work environment for our colleagues, clients and the communities we assist, and continued to provide the high level of customer service that our communities depend on in a manner that is accessible, reliable and efficient. At all times, social distancing, sanitizing and facial coverings were required. As of the date of this press release, 30 of our 32 offices have fully re-opened to normal business hours. The remaining two branches, currently being consolidated, are available by appointment. The Corporation is looking forward to assisting clients in the case that a next-phase stimulus package is passed by Congress, and with the SBA loan-forgiveness application process.

Management believes that the Corporation's liquidity position is strong. The Corporation uses a variety of resources to meet its liquidity needs. These include short term investments, cash flow from lending and investing activities, core- deposit growth and non-core funding sources, such as time deposits of $100,000 or more, FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and other borrowings. As of September 30, 2020, the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents balance was $149.9 million. The Corporation also maintains an investment portfolio of securities available for sale, comprised primarily of mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds. Although this portfolio generates interest income for the Corporation, it also serves as an available source of liquidity and capital if the need should arise. As of September 30, 2020, the Corporation's investment in securities available for sale was $396.3 million, $216.3 million of which was not pledged as collateral. Additionally, the Bank's unused borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York was $97.1 million, as of September 30, 2020. The Corporation did not experience excessive draws on available working capital lines of credit and home equity lines of credit during the first nine months of 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis, nor has the Corporation experienced any significant or unusual activity related to customer reaction to the COVID-19 crisis that would create stress on the Corporation's liquidity position.

With respect to the Corporation's credit risk and lending activities, management has taken actions to identify and assess additional possible credit exposure due to the changing environment caused by the COVID-19 crisis based upon the industry types within our current loan portfolio. Lending risks, as mentioned, are being monitored by industry, based upon NAICS code, with specific attention being paid to those industries that may experience greater stress during this time.

The COVID-19 crisis is expected to continue to impact the Corporation's financial results, as well as demand for its services and products during the remainder of 2020 and potentially beyond. The short and long-term implications of the COVID-19 crisis, and related monetary and fiscal stimulus measures on the Corporation's future revenues, earnings results, allowance for loan losses, capital reserves, and liquidity are uncertain at this time.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Corporation intends its forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in this press release. All statements regarding the Corporation's expected financial position and operating results, the Corporation's business strategy, the Corporation's financial plans, forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to the Corporation's industry and similar matters are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by the Corporation's use of forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," or "intend." The Corporation cannot promise that its expectations in such forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct. The Corporation's actual results could be materially different from expectations because of various factors, including changes in economic conditions or interest rates, credit risk, difficulties in managing the Corporations growth, competition, changes in law or the regulatory environment, including the Dodd-Frank Act, and changes in general business and economic trends.

As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, the Company could be subject to any of the following additional risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

  • demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;

  • if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income;

  • collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase;

  • our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect our net income;

  • the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us;

  • as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Boards target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income;

  • a material decrease in net income over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend;

  • our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely;

  • we rely on third party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on us; and

  • FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs.

Information concerning these and other factors can be found in the Corporations periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These filings are available publicly on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov , on the Corporation's website at http://www.chemungcanal.com or upon request from the Corporate Secretary at (607) 737-3746.

Chemung Financial Corporation

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations (Unaudited)

The Corporation prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. See the Corporation’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets and statements of income contained within this press release. That presentation provides the reader with an understanding of the Corporation’s results that can be tracked consistently from period-to-period and enables a comparison of the Corporation’s performance with other companies’ GAAP financial statements.

In addition to analyzing the Corporation’s results on a reported basis, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, because it believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors about the underlying operational performance and trends of the Corporation and, therefore, facilitate a comparison of the Corporation with the performance of its competitors. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The SEC has adopted Regulation G, which applies to all public disclosures, including earnings releases, made by registered companies that contain “non-GAAP financial measures.” Under Regulation G, companies making public disclosures containing non-GAAP financial measures must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure and a statement of the Corporation’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure as part of its financial disclosures. The SEC has exempted from the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. When these exempted measures are included in public disclosures, supplemental information is not required. The following measures used in this Report, which are commonly utilized by financial institutions, have not been specifically exempted by the SEC and may constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of the SEC's rules, although we are unable to state with certainty that the SEC would so regard them.

Fully Taxable Equivalent Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is commonly presented on a tax-equivalent basis. That is, to the extent that some component of the institution's net interest income, which is presented on a before-tax basis, is exempt from taxation (e.g., is received by the institution as a result of its holdings of state or municipal obligations), an amount equal to the tax benefit derived from that component is added to the actual before-tax net interest income total. This adjustment is considered helpful in comparing one financial institution's net interest income to that of other institutions or in analyzing any institution’s net interest income trend line over time, to correct any analytical distortion that might otherwise arise from the fact that financial institutions vary widely in the proportions of their portfolios that are invested in tax-exempt securities, and that even a single institution may significantly alter over time the proportion of its own portfolio that is invested in tax-exempt obligations. Moreover, net interest income is itself a component of a second financial measure commonly used by financial institutions, net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. For purposes of this measure as well, fully taxable equivalent net interest income is generally used by financial institutions, as opposed to actual net interest income, again to provide a better basis of comparison from institution to institution and to better demonstrate a single institution’s performance over time. The Corporation follows these practices.

Efficiency Ratio

The unadjusted efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and non- interest income). The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure which represents the Corporation’s ability to turn resources into revenue and is calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue (fully taxable equivalent net interest income and non-interest income), adjusted for one-time occurrences and amortization. This measure is meaningful to the Corporation, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Corporation’s productivity measured by the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

Tangible Equity and Tangible Assets (Period-End)

Tangible equity, tangible assets, and tangible book value per share are each non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible equity represents the Corporation’s stockholders’ equity, less goodwill and intangible assets. Tangible assets represents the Corporation’s total assets, less goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per share represents the Corporation’s tangible equity divided by common shares at period-end. These measures are meaningful to the Corporation, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Corporation’s use of equity.

Tangible Equity (Average)

Average tangible equity and return on average tangible equity are each non-GAAP financial measures. Average tangible equity represents the Corporation’s average stockholders’ equity, less average goodwill and intangible assets for the period. Return on average tangible equity measures the Corporation’s earnings as a percentage of average tangible equity. These measures are meaningful to the Corporation, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Corporation’s use of equity.

Adjustments for Certain Items of Income or Expense

In addition to disclosures of certain GAAP financial measures, including net income, EPS, ROA, and ROE, we may also provide comparative disclosures that adjust these GAAP financial measures for a particular period by removing from the calculation thereof the impact of certain transactions or other material items of income or expense occurring during the period, including certain nonrecurring items. The Corporation believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measures may improve an understanding of its results of operations by separating out any such transactions or items that may have had a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Corporation’s financial results during the particular period in question. In the Corporation’s presentation of any such non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures not specifically discussed in the preceding paragraphs, the Corporation supplies the supplemental financial information and explanations required under Regulation G.
