&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Record net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $35,752,000, an increase of $7,918,000, or 28.45%, from comparable period results in 2021. Basic earnings per share were $4.15 and $3.19 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in net income for 2022 was primarily driven by increases in net interest income of $12,181,000 and commissions from insurance sales of $2,156,000, partially offset by a $2,906,000 decrease in income from mortgage loans held for sale and a $1,330,000 increase in total other expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 totaled $10,199,000, an increase of $5,704,000, or 126.90%, from comparable period results in 2021. Basic earnings per share were $1.20 and $0.52 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in net income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by increases in net interest income of $6,698,000 and commissions from insurance sales of $670,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 3.33%, an increase of 51 basis points from 2.82% for the year ended December 31, 2021.

the commercial loan portfolio. Excluding payoffs for PPP loans, loans grew by 6.04% from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total deposits were $2,198,975,000 at December 31, 2022. Deposits decreased by $227,414,000, or 9.37%, compared to December 31, 2021. The decrease in deposits was a result of customers seeking higher yielding alternative investment or deposit products as market interest rates rose during 2022. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 69.97% at December 31, 2022, compared to 60.52% at December 31, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Quarterly cash dividends paid to ACNB Corporation shareholders in 2022 totaled $9,117,000, or $1.06 per common share. Compared to prior year, ACNB Corporation paid $1.03 in total dividends per common share in 2021, which included a special dividend of $0.02 per common share paid on June 15, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ACNB Corporation repurchased 206,929 shares of ACNB Corporation common stock during 2022 at a cost of $6,682,000, which effectively completed the authorization for the repurchase of shares of ACNB Corporation common stock under the program approved by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2021. On October 18, 2022, the ACNB Corporation Board of Directors approved a new plan to repurchase, in open market and privately negotiated transactions, up to 255,575, or approximately 3.0%, of the outstanding shares of the Corporation's common stock. As of January 26, 2023, no common stock has been repurchased under this new plan.

GETTYSBURG, PA, January 26, 2023 --- ACNB Corporation (NASDAQ: ACNB), financial holding company for ACNB Bank and ACNB Insurance Services, Inc., announced record financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022 with net income of $35,752,000, an increase of $7,918,000, or 28.45%, compared to net income of $27,834,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. This year-over-year increase in net income was primarily driven by increases in net interest income of $12,181,000 and commissions from insurance sales of $2,156,000. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, basic earnings per share were $4.15 and $3.19, respectively, which is an increase of $0.96 per share or 30.09%.

earnings per share were $1.20 and $0.52 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which is an increase of $0.68 per share or 130.77%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"We, at ACNB Corporation, are extremely pleased to report another year of record earnings for 2022 totaling more than $35,000,000. This corporate achievement was not anticipated at the start of the year, but neither were the economic conditions that evolved during the year. In response to inflationary pressures, the unprecedented actions of the Federal Reserve resulted in seven interest rate hikes beginning in March of 2022 for a fed funds target rate range of 4.25% to 4.50% at the end of the year. The steep interest rate changes during the year pushed the fed funds rate to its highest point since December 2007. These interest rate increases were a major contributor to ACNB Corporation's 2022 earnings performance as assets repriced more quickly than liabilities, which coupled with asset growth resulted in strong net interest income performance," said James P. Helt, ACNB Corporation President & Chief Executive Officer. "Despite these unusual and unprecedented economic times, the Corporation completed key strategic initiatives planned for 2022 including the acquisition by the insurance subsidiary, ACNB Insurance Services, Inc., of the business and assets of Hockley & O'Donnell Insurance Agency in Gettysburg, PA, in February and the opening of the new Upper Adams Office in Biglerville, PA, in October as the banking subsidiary, ACNB Bank, continued its plans for optimization of the community banking network. ACNB Corporation was also honored in 2022 to be named by the *Central Penn Business Journal* to its annual list of Fastest Growing Companies in Central Pennsylvania for the fifth consecutive year."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Helt continued, "As always, ACNB Corporation's Management and Board of Directors looks to the past with respect, but also anticipates the future and its inherent challenges and opportunities. With record financial performance in 2022, in tandem with ongoing strength in its capital base and asset quality, the Corporation is poised for continued progress in 2023. Our fundamental focus remains to be

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

**Net Interest Income and Margin**

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $83,425,000, an increase of $12,181,000, or 17.10%, over the year ended December 31, 2021. Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 totaled $24,048,000, an increase of $6,698,000, or 38.61%, over comparable period results in 2021. The increases in net interest income were attributable to higher interest rates, deployment of excess liquidity, lower funding costs, and growth in higher-yielding earning assets.

The net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 3.33%, an increase of 51 basis points from 2.82% for the year ended December 31, 2021. PPP fees and purchase accounting accretion for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $3,768,000, compared to $8,781,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2022 increased 141 basis points to 3.99% from 2.58% for the comparable three month period in 2021. PPP fees and purchase accounting accretion totaled $845,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1,987,000 for the same period in 2021.

**Noninterest Income**

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $21,807,000, a decrease of $969,000, or 4.25%, from the comparable period in 2021. The decrease was primarily a result of lower income from mortgage loans held for sale, as interest rates continued to increase in 2022, and losses from the changes in fair value of equity securities. Income from mortgage loans held for sale was $487,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $3,393,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Realized losses on equity securities was $298,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to realized gains of $439,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

**Press Release/2022 Year-End Financial Results**

**January 26, 2023**

**Page 5 of 11**

Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $5,423,000, a decrease of $210,000, or 3.73%, from the same period in 2021. Comparing the last three months of 2022 to the same period in 2021, income from mortgage loans held for sale decreased by $877,000, while income from commissions from insurance sales increased by $670,000 due principally to the acquisition of the business and assets of the Hockley & O'Donnell Insurance Agency in combination with higher contingent income.

**Noninterest Expense**

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $60,281,000, an increase of $1,330,000, or 2.26%, from the comparable period in 2021. The increase was driven primarily by equipment, professional services, FDIC and regulatory, intangible assets amortization and other operating expenses partially offset by a decrease in salary and employee benefits expense. Equipment expense was $6,612,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $6,175,000 for the prior year of 2021. The increase in equipment expense was attributable to the additional ongoing expenses related to the banking subsidiary's core systems conversion in late 2021 and the implementation of a new loan origination system in late 2022. Professional services expense was $2,086,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1,304,000 for the prior year of 2021. The increase in professional services expense was a result of additional costs related to the change in the Corporation's independent audit firm, consultants for Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) standard readiness and purchase accounting work, loan workout costs for a large commercial loan, legal expenses, and executive recruiters to fill key roles within the organization. FDIC and regulatory and intangible assets amortization expenses were $1,128,000 and $1,492,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $960,000 and $1,164,000 for the prior year of 2021. The increase in intangible assets amortization expense was due to the acquisition of the business and assets of the Hockley & O'Donnell Insurance Agency. Other operating expense was $6,154,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $5,841,000 for the prior year of 2021. The increase in other operating expense was driven primarily by

waived consumer loan fees, internet banking expense, and operational and customer fraud losses. Salary and employee benefits expense was $35,979,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $36,816,000 for the prior year of 2021. The decrease was a result of lower incentive compensation and pension expenses.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $16,673,000, a decrease of $784,000, or 4.49%, from the comparable period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower salary and employee benefits and equipment expenses partially offset by an increase in professional services expense. Salary and employee benefits expense was $9,786,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $10,557,000 for the same period in 2021. The decrease was a result of lower incentive compensation and pension expenses. Equipment expense was $2,046,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2,392,000 for the same period in 2021. The decrease was due to less technology spending for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Professional services expense was $758,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $414,000 for the same period in 2021. The increase in professional services expense was driven by additional costs related to the transition of the Corporation's independent audit firm, loan workout costs for a large commercial loan, and various consultants for CECL standard readiness, purchase accounting work, and other corporate initiatives.

**Loans and Asset Quality** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Total loans outstanding were $1,538,610,000 at December 31, 2022 compared to $1,468,427,000 at December 31, 2021, an increase of 4.78%. Year-over-year, the increase was driven mainly by growth in the commercial loan portfolio. Excluding payoffs for PPP loans, loans grew by 6.04% from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022.

As a result of stable loan risk metrics, combined with low credit losses in the portfolio, the provision for loan losses for 2022 was $0 despite solid loan growth. Non-performing loans were

**Press Release/2022 Year-End Financial Results**

**January 26, 2023**

**Page 7 of 11**

$3,857,000, or 0.25% of total loans, at December 31, 2022, compared to $6,219,000, or 0.42% of total loans, at December 31, 2021. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2022 were 0.08% of total average loans, compared to 0.08% for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net charge-offs for the year were due to a few isolated credits of unrelated borrowers and were not indicative of a general weakness in the overall loan portfolio.

**Deposits**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total deposits were $2,198,975,000 at December 31, 2022. Deposits decreased by $227,414,000, or 9.37%, since December 31, 2021. The decrease in deposits was a result of customers seeking higher yielding alternative investment or deposit products as market interest rates rose during 2022.

**Stockholders' Equity**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total stockholders' equity was $245,042,000 at December 31, 2022, compared to $272,114,000 at December 31, 2021. Year-over-year, the $27,072,000 decline in stockholders' equity from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to the change in accumulated other comprehensive income due to unrealized losses in the securities portfolio resulting from the increase in market interest rates during the year. These unrealized losses were also the primary driver of the decline in the Corporation's book value per share, which was $28.78 and $31.35 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

**Dividends and Share Repurchases** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quarterly cash dividends paid to ACNB Corporation shareholders in 2022 totaled $9,117,000, or $1.06 per common share. Compared to prior year, ACNB Corporation paid $1.03 in total dividends per common share in 2021, which included a special dividend of $0.02 per common share paid on June 15, 2021.

In addition, ACNB Corporation repurchased 206,929 shares of ACNB Corporation common stock during 2022 at a cost of $6,682,000, which effectively completed the authorization for the repurchase of

**Press Release/2022 Year-End Financial Results**

**January 26, 2023**

**Page 8 of 11**

shares of ACNB Corporation common stock under the program approved by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2021. On October 18, 2022, the ACNB Corporation Board of Directors approved a new plan to repurchase, in open market and privately negotiated transactions, up to 255,575, or approximately 3.0%, of the outstanding shares of the Corporation's common stock. As of January 26, 2023, no common stock has been repurchased under this new plan.

**ACNB Bank Update**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October 17, 2022, ACNB Bank opened its new full-service community banking office to serve the Upper Adams area of Adams County, PA. The newly-constructed office location at 3425 Biglerville Road, Biglerville, offers enhanced services and conveniences, as well as deploys new design concepts in the office lobby with the goal of streamlining and improving the customer experience. In tandem with this new office investment of more than $2,000,000, the operations of three community banking offices were consolidated in this Pennsylvania geography in alignment with the Bank's branch optimization strategy and continued endeavors to enhance operational efficiencies and performance. Also as part of the Bank's branch optimization program, on December 2, 2022, ACNB Bank closed and transferred operations for three additional community banking offices, including the Adams Commerce Center Office in Gettysburg, PA; East Frederick Office in Frederick, MD; and, Hampstead Office in Hampstead, MD.

On December 19, 2022, plans for ACNB Bank to rebrand its Maryland banking divisions were announced. Effective January 1, 2023, these divisions, NWSB Bank and FCB Bank, formally adopted the ACNB Bank name and brand identity in the counties of Carroll and Frederick in central Maryland, respectively. The goal of this rebranding initiative is to eliminate customer confusion, especially for those who bank in multiple markets, and to provide future operating and cost efficiencies. Further, this step now fully aligns the brand of ACNB Bank with that of ACNB Insurance Services, Inc., which was rebranded effective January 1, 2022, to create enhanced synergies and market recognition throughout the Corporation's footprint in southcentral Pennsylvania and central Maryland.
