Orrstown Financial reports Q1 adjusted EPS 88c, consensus 73c

Reports Q1 tangible book value per share $23.47. “We began this year with another solid quarter, highlighted by strong earnings. The successful workout of a large commercial real estate loan that entered non-accrual status at the end of 2022 aided our first quarter performance. Our team remains conscious of the current credit environment as we seek to limit risk while still taking steps to grow prudently. Excluding loan payoff activity that we initiated, we experienced modest loan growth and expect that to continue throughout the year. Orrstown’s Wealth Management team is leading the way in generating strong fee income. As in prior years, expenses were higher in the first quarter and, excluding merger-related costs, are expected to normalize in the second quarter. Our liquidity position was bolstered by strong deposit growth, which included successful CD and money market production, as well as seasonal and short-term balances from which we expect some runoff,” commented Thomas Quinn, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.
