“While it is still too early to fully assess the impact of COVID-19 on our regional economy, we were pleased that our third quarter produced stronger results than we had initially predicted in both our commercial and consumer lines of business,” said E. Philip Wenger, Chairman and CEO. “In particular, our mortgage business achieved record growth in the third quarter, coming on the heels of a record second quarter. Loan growth, fee income and credit quality also exceeded our expectations. And after a strategic, company-wide review, we are taking steps to significantly reduce our annual operating expenses for the future, with the goal of prudently managing the company for the longer term.”

Net Interest Income and Balance Sheet

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $154 million, consistent with the second quarter of 2020. Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2020 decreased 11 basis points, to 2.70%, from 2.81% in the second quarter of 2020.

Total average assets for the third quarter of 2020 were $25.2 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion from the second quarter of 2020. Average loans, net of unearned income, of $18.9 billion increased $0.5 billion from the second quarter of 2020. The increase was principally due to loans originated under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") during the second quarter, which had an outstanding balance of $2.0 billion as of September 30, 2020.

Average loans and yields, by type, for the third quarter of 2020 in comparison to the second quarter of 2020 are summarized in the following table:

Asset Quality

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2020 was $7 million, which reflects current expected credit losses based on forecasted economic and other assumptions, including the estimated impacts of COVID-19, over the remaining expected lives of financial assets and off-balance-sheet credit exposures.

Non-performing assets were $147 million, or 0.57% of total assets, at September 30, 2020, representing a decrease, when expressed as a percentage of total assets from June 30, 2020.

Annualized net recoveries for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 were 0.05% of total average loans, compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.09% and 0.15% for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The third quarter of 2020 annualized net recoveries were primarily due to $5 million in real estate construction recoveries.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income in the third quarter of 2020, excluding investment securities gains, was $63 million, an increase of $10 million, or 20%, from the second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by an increase of $7 million in mortgage banking income, although increases in nearly all non-interest income categories were experienced in the third quarter of 2020 in comparison to the second quarter of 2020.

In the third quarter of 2020, a $1.5 million impairment of mortgage servicing assets was recognized, as compared to a $6.6 million impairment in the second quarter of 2020. This impairment charge is recorded as a reduction to mortgage banking income.

Compared to the third quarter of 2019, non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $8 million, or 14%, in the third quarter of 2020 due mainly to increases in mortgage banking income. There was no mortgage servicing asset impairment charge in the third quarter of 2019.

Net investment securities gains declined by $3 million in the third quarter of 2020 in comparison to the second quarter of 2020. The second quarter of 2020 included net securities gains of $3 million related to a limited balance sheet restructuring that also involved the redemption of FHLB advances that resulted in $3 million of prepayment penalties recorded in non-interest expense in the same period.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $139 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $4 million compared to the second quarter of 2020. The second quarter of 2020 included a $3 million prepayment penalty on redemption of FHLB advances.

Compared to the third quarter of 2019, non-interest expense decreased $8 million, or 5%, due primarily to decreases in other outside services, FHLB prepayment penalties, marketing and intangible amortization, partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits and FDIC insurance. FDIC insurance expense was reduced in the third quarter of 2019 as a result of the receipt of $3 million of assessment credits.

As a result of a recent strategic operating expense review the Corporation is making a number of changes that are expected to result in annual expense savings of $25 million, inclusive of the previously reported financial center closure savings. Of the expected $25 million in annual expense savings, the Corporation expects to reinvest a portion to accelerate digital transformation initiatives.

It is expected that the savings will not be fully realized until mid-2021. In addition, it is expected that a pre-tax charge within the range of $17 to $19 million will be realized for this initiative for employee severance, fixed asset write-offs and lease termination charges, among others. Of this charge, $16 to $17 million is expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2020, with the remaining charges of up to approximately $1 million pre-tax being recognized in the first quarter of 2021.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was 13%, as compared to 14% for both the second quarter of 2020 and third quarter of 2019.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

in thousands, except per share data and percentages

Explanatory note:

This press release contains supplemental financial information, as detailed below, which has been derived by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Corporation has presented these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Corporation's industry. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP measures, are also useful to investors to evaluate the Corporation's results. Investors should recognize that the Corporation's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, and the Corporation strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure follow:
