Although the Corporation seeks to effectively manage risks, and maintains a level of equity that exceeds the banking regulatory agencies’ thresholds for being considered “well capitalized” (see Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements), management cannot predict the future and cannot eliminate the possibility of credit, operational or other losses.
We believe that the Corporation’s most significant risks and uncertainties are discussed below.
Risk Related to Acquisition Activity – As described in Item 1, the Corporation has completed three acquisitions of banking companies in 2025, 2020 and 2019 (Susquehanna, Covenant and Monument) and expanded its geographic footprint in Northcentral, Southcentral, and Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Furthermore, failure to realize the expected revenue projections, cost savings, increases in geographic or product presence, and/or other projected benefits from recent or future acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Such risk management and accounting policies and procedures, however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
If the Corporation's banking regulators determine that our commercial real estate lending activities involve more than customary risk and therefore are subject to such heightened scrutiny, the Corporation may incur significant additional costs or be required to restrict certain of our commercial real estate lending activities.
Moreover, the Federal Reserve lowered the Federal Funds rate in 2020 and maintained a rate of 0% to 0.25% throughout 2021 while injecting unusually large amounts of liquidity into the nation’s monetary system.
The Federal Reserve lowered the Federal Funds rate twice to a range of 4.25% to 4.50% at December 31, 2024 and continued to lower the Federal Funds rate three times in 2025 to a range of 3.50% to 3.75% at December 31, 2025.
Significant fluctuations in interest rates, including fluctuations in interest rates triggered by the Federal Reserve’s actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Holding Company Liquidity Risk - The Corporation relies on dividends from its subsidiaries for substantially all of its revenue and its ability to make dividends, distributions and other payments.
Deterioration in economic conditions could adversely affect the quality of the Corporation’s loan portfolio and the demand for its products and services, and accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Moreover, costs associated with implementing technology-driven products or other services, or technology-related or other developments increasing the nature or level of competition, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
A breach in security could result in legal claims, regulatory penalties, disruption in operations, and damage to the Corporation’s reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Significant new laws or changes in, or repeals of, existing laws could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Further, federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve System, significantly affects short-term interest rates and credit conditions, and any unfavorable change in these conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Bank Secrecy Act and Related Laws and Regulations - Laws and regulations relating to the Bank Secrecy Act have significant implications for all financial institutions.
In recent years, these laws and regulations have increased due diligence requirements and reporting obligations for financial institutions, created new crimes and penalties, and required the federal banking agencies, in reviewing merger and other acquisition transactions, to consider the effectiveness of the parties to such transactions in combating money laundering activities.
Even innocent noncompliance and inconsequential failure to follow the regulations could result in significant fines or other penalties, which could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
For example, the failures of Silicon Valley Bank in California, Signature Bank in New York and First Republic Bank in California in 2023 caused an element of uncertainty in the investor community and among bank customers generally, including, specifically, deposit customers.
At December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Corporation’s available-for-sale debt securities portfolio was $506.6 million, or 5.5% less than the amortized cost basis.
The unrealized decrease in fair value was consistent with the increases in market interest rates that occurred subsequent to the purchases of the securities, and no allowance for credit losses was required on available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2025.
For additional information regarding debt securities, see the “Securities” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
Mortgage Banking – The Corporation originates and sells residential mortgage loans to the secondary market through the MPF Xtra and MPF Original programs.
At December 31, 2025, the total outstanding balance of residential mortgages sold and serviced through the two programs amounted to $450,120,000.
As of December 31, 2025, the total outstanding balance of residential mortgage loans the Corporation has repurchased as a result of identified instances of noncompliance amounted to $2,598,000.
If the volume of such forced repurchases of loans were to increase significantly, or if the Corporation were to be dropped from the programs, it could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Due to applicable laws and regulations or contractual obligations, the Corporation may be held responsible for cyber incidents attributed to its service providers in relation to any data that the Corporation shares with them. During 2025, the Corporation did not experience a cybersecurity threat or incident that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Corporation, including its business strategy, results of consolidated operations or financial condition.

Such risk management and accounting policies and procedures, however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
If the Corporation's banking regulators determine that our commercial real estate lending activities are particularly risky and are subject to such heightened scrutiny, the Corporation may incur significant additional costs or be required to restrict certain of our commercial real estate lending activities.
Moreover, the Federal Reserve lowered the Federal Funds rate in 2020 and maintained a rate of 0% to 0.25% throughout 2021 while injecting massive amounts of liquidity into the nation’s monetary system.

Sentence-level comparison of Item 1A in the two most recent 10-Ks (FY2024 ↗, FY2025 ↗). A reworded sentence counts as one dropped and one added, so heavy edits read as low “kept”. Headings and page furniture are stripped; nothing is summarised by a model.
