MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF
------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
----------------------------------
Management's discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the
consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of
Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. ("Susquehanna") is set forth below for the periods
indicated.
Certain statements in this document may be considered to be
"forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the U.S. Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include the words
"expect", "estimate", "project", "anticipate", "should", "intend",
"probability", "risk", "target", "objective" and similar expressions or
variations on such expressions. In particular, this document includes
forward-looking statements relating, but not limited to, Susquehanna's potential
exposures to Year 2000 compliance issues and various types of market risks, such
as interest rate risk and credit risk. These statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties. For example, certain market risk disclosures are
dependent on choices about key model characteristics and assumptions and are
subject to various limitations. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures
are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs
in the future. As a result, actual income gains and losses could materially
differ from those that have been estimated. Other factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the forward-looking
statements contained in this document include, but are not limited to: general
economic conditions in market areas which Susquehanna has significant business
activities or investments; the monetary and interest rate policies of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation; deflation; unanticipated
turbulence in interest rates; changes in laws, regulations and taxes; changes in
competition and pricing environments; natural disasters; the inability to hedge
certain risks economically; the adequacy of loss reserves; acquisitions or
restructurings; technological changes; changes in consumer spending and saving
habits; economic and social turbulence which might result from the Y2K or
millennium problem; and the success of Susquehanna in managing the risks
involved in the foregoing.
On December 16, 1998, Susquehanna completed the acquisition of Cardinal
Bancorp, Inc. ("Cardinal"), a Pennsylvania bank holding company. On January 4,
1999, Susquehanna completed the acquisition of First Capitol Bank, ("First
Capitol"), a Pennsylvania state-chartered bank. Since these transactions were
accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting, all financial
results reported include Cardinal and First Capitol.
Earnings Summary
----------------
Susquehanna's net income for the third quarter of 1999 was $14.9
million, a 28% increase over the net income of $11.6 million reported in the
third quarter of 1998. A pre-tax gain of $3.3 million from the sale of two
branch offices was realized during the third quarter of 1999. Excluding the gain
on sale of branches, net income for the third quarter of 1999 would have
increased by 10% over the third quarter of 1998.
Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") were $0.40 per share for the third
quarter of 1999 compared with $0.31 per share in the third quarter of 1998.
Return on average assets ("ROA") and return on average equity ("ROE") were 1.40%
and 14.61%, respectively, in the third quarter of 1999 compared with 1.14% and
11.74%, respectively, in the third quarter of 1998. For the
10
<PAGE>
third quarter of 1999, tangible EPS, ROA and ROE were $0.42, 1.48%, and 16.66%,
respectively.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $38.8
million, a 13% increase over the net income of $34.3 million reported for the
same period of 1998. Excluding the gain on sale of branches, net income for the
first nine months of 1999 would have increased by 7% over the same period of
1998. The drop in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and steady loan
growth has improved the net interest income during the first nine months of
1999. The cost on total interest-bearing liabilities dropped from 4.54% during
the first nine months of 1998 to 4.16% during the same period of 1999. Excluding
the gain on sale of branch offices, non-interest income increased by $2.2
million, or 9%, over 1998.
Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") were $1.05 per share for the first
nine months of 1999 compared with $0.92 per share during the same period of
1998. Return on average assets ("ROA") and return on average equity ("ROE") were
1.25% and 12.88%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
compared with 1.15% and 11.92%, respectively, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. For the first nine months of 1999, tangible EPS, ROA and ROE
were $1.11, 1.33%, and 14.85%, respectively.
Total assets at September 30, 1999 of $4.3 billion were $223 million
higher than one year ago. Loans totaled $3.0 billion at September 30, 1999,
compared to $2.8 billion at September 30, 1998, and deposits were $3.2 billion
at September 30, 1999, compared to $3.1 billion at September 30, 1998. Equity
capital was $410 million at September 30, 1999, or $11.07 per share, compared to
$398 million, or $10.79 per share, at September 30, 1998.
Net Interest Income
-------------------
The major source of operating revenues is net interest income, which
rose to a level of $40.3 million in the third quarter of 1999 compared to $39.7
million for the same period in 1998. For the nine months ended September 30,
1999, net interest income was $120.3 million compared with $118.3 million for
the same period of 1998. Net interest income is the income which remains after
deducting, from total income generated by earning assets, the interest expense
attributable to the acquisition of the funds requiring supporting earning
assets. Income from earning assets includes income from loans, investment
securities and short-term investments. The amount of interest income is
dependent upon many factors, including the volume of earning assets, the general
level of interest rates, the dynamics of the change in interest rates, and
levels of non-performing assets. The cost of funds varies with the amount of
funds necessary to support earning assets, the rates paid to attract and hold
deposits, rates paid on borrowed funds, and the levels of non-interest bearing
demand deposits and equity capital.
Table 1 presents average balances, taxable equivalent interest income
and expenses and yields earned or paid on the assets and liabilities of
Susquehanna. For purposes of calculating taxable equivalent interest income,
tax-exempt interest has been adjusted using a marginal tax rate of 35% in order
to equate the yield to that of taxable interest rates. Net interest income as a
percentage of net interest income and other income was 75% and 83% for the
quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net interest income as
a percentage of net interest income and other income was 81% and 83% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Net interest income as of third quarter 1999 increased $0.6 million
compared to the third quarter of 1998. This improvement was due to an increase
in average earning assets of $139
11
<PAGE>
million offset by a decline in the net interest margin from 4.33% in the third
quarter of 1998 to 4.22% in the third quarter of 1999. This decline in margin
was due to a 37 basis point drop in earning asset yield that was partially
offset by a 36 basis point drop in the cost of funds.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
increased $1.9 million over the same period of 1998. An increase in average
earning assets of $151 million was offset by a decline in the net interest
margin from 4.40% in the first nine months of 1998 to 4.29% during the
comparable period of 1999. This decline in margin was due to a 42 basis point
drop in yield on earning assets, partially offset by a 38 basis point drop in
the cost of funds. This decline, as well as the decline for the quarter noted
above, was primarily due to the respective interest rate environments.
Other Income
------------
Non-interest income increased $5.9 million, or 75%, from $7.9 million
in the third quarter of 1998 to $13.8 million in the third quarter of 1999.
Deposit fees and other commissions and fees each increased $0.3 million over the
third quarter of 1998. Increased deposit volumes and improved pricing
contributed to these increases. Trust income increased $0.3 million in the third
quarter of 1999 over the third quarter of 1998. During the third quarter of
1999, Susquehanna Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Susquehanna, sold its two
branch offices in Elkton, MD. At the time of the sale, these branches had
approximately $23 million in deposits and the transaction resulted in a gain of
$3.3 million recorded as other income for Susquehanna.
For the first nine months of 1999, non-interest income of $29.0 million
was $5.5 million higher than the same period of 1998. In addition to the gain on
the sale of the two branch offices, other factors that positively influenced the
results were: deposit fees up $1.0 million over the prior year; security gains
increased by $0.9 million; and income from bank-owned life insurance was up $0.4
million over the same period of 1998.
Other income as a percentage of net interest income and other income
was 25% and 17% for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, other
income as a percentage of net interest income and non-interest income was 19%
and 17%, respectively.
Other Expenses
--------------
Total non-interest expenses increased $1.8 million from $29.2 million
in the third quarter of 1998 to $31.0 million in the third quarter of 1999. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, total non-interest expenses increased
$1.4 million over the same period in 1998. Salaries and benefits expense
decreased $2.0 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared with the first
nine months of 1998. This improvement was offset by an increase of $3.6 million
in other operating expenses, primarily due to special projects, during the first
nine months of 1999.
During the third quarter of 1999, Susquehanna incurred charges of $0.3
million related to Year 2000 systems remediation compared with $1.2 million in
the third quarter of 1998. Total expense, including both 1998 and 1999 expenses,
for Year 2000 remediation is $4.2 million at September 30, 1999. For a further
discussion on these matters, please see the section herein entitled "Impact of
the Year 2000 Issue".
Income Taxes
------------
Susquehanna's effective tax rate decreased from 31.80% for the first
nine months of 1998 to 30.74% for the first nine months of 1999 due to an
increase in tax-advantaged income.

<PAGE>
Risk Assets
-----------
Table 2 shows an increase in non-performing assets from $26.4 million
at December 31, 1998 to $27.1 million at September 30, 1999, as non-performing
assets to period-end loans and OREO remained at 0.92% at December 31, 1998 and
September 30, 1999. Loan loss reserve to non-performing loans at September 30,
1999 was 161% compared with 167% at December 31, 1998.
Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
-------------------------------------------------
As illustrated in Table 3, the provision increased to $1.5 million in
the third quarter of 1999 from $1.4 million in the third quarter of 1998. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the provision was $0.3 million higher
than one year ago. Net charge-offs remained at $3.9 million for the same nine
month period.
The allowance at September 30, 1999 was 1.23% of period-end loans and
leases compared to 1.30% at September 30, 1998 as period-end loans increased
$163 million at September 30, 1999, from one year ago.
Capital Resources
-----------------
Capital elements for Susquehanna are segmented into two tiers. Tier I
capital represents shareholders' equity reduced by most intangible assets, while
total capital includes certain allowable long-term debt and the general portion
of the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to 1.25% of risk-adjusted
assets. The minimum Tier I capital ratio is 4%; Susquehanna's ratio at September
30, 1999 was 12.72%. The minimum total capital (Tier II) ratio is 8%;
Susquehanna's ratio at September 30, 1999 was 15.57%. The minimum leverage ratio
is 4%; Susquehanna's leverage ratio at September 30, 1999 was 9.24%.
Market Risks
------------
The types of market risk exposures generally faced by banking entities
include interest rate risk, liquidity risk, equity market price risk, foreign
currency risk and commodity price risk. Due to the nature of its operations,
only interest rate and liquidity risks are significant to Susquehanna.
Liquidity and interest rate risk are related but distinctly different
from one another. The maintenance of adequate liquidity -- the ability to meet
the cash requirements of its customers and other financial commitments -- is a
fundamental aspect of Susquehanna's asset/liability management strategy.
Susquehanna's policy of diversifying its funding sources -- purchased funds,
repurchase agreements, and deposit accounts -- allows it to avoid undue
concentration in any single financial market and also to avoid heavy funding
requirements within short periods of time. At September 30, 1999, Susquehanna's
subsidiary banks and its savings bank have unused lines of credit available to
them from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling approximately $420 million.
However, liquidity is not entirely dependent on increasing
Susquehanna's liability balances. Liquidity can also be generated from maturing
or readily marketable assets. The carrying value of investment securities
maturing within one year amounted to $66 million at September 30, 1999. These
maturing investments represent 7% of total investment securities. Short-term
investments amounted to $33 million and represent additional sources of
liquidity. Consequently, Susquehanna's exposure to liquidity risk is not
considered significant.
Closely related to the management of liquidity is the management of
interest rate risk, which focuses on maintaining stability in the net interest
margin, an important factor in earnings growth. Interest rate sensitivity is the
matching or mismatching of the maturity and rate structure
13
<PAGE>
of the interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Management's objective is to
control the difference in the timing of the rate changes for these assets and
liabilities to preserve a satisfactory net interest margin. In doing so,
Susquehanna endeavors to maximize earnings in an environment of changing
interest rates. However, there is a lag in maintaining the desired matching
because the repricing of products does occur at varying time intervals.
Susquehanna employs a variety of methods to monitor interest rate risk.
By dividing the assets and liabilities into three groups -- fixed rate, floating
rate and those which reprice only at management's discretion -- strategies are
developed which are designed to minimize exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
Management also utilizes gap and interest rate shock analyses to evaluate
interest rate sensitivity.
Susquehanna's policy, as approved by its Board of Directors, is for
Susquehanna to experience no more than a 15% decline in net interest income and
no more than a 25% decline in economic equity for a 200 basis point shock
(immediate change) in interest rates. The assumptions used for the interest rate
shock analysis are reviewed and updated on a periodic basis. Based upon the most
recent interest rate shock analysis, Susquehanna was well within the policy
limits.
Impact of the Year 2000 Issue
-----------------------------
The following section contains forward-looking statements, which
involve risks and uncertainties. Susquehanna's actual impact from the Year 2000
issue could materially differ from that which is anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors identified below.
The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of computer programs having been
written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of
Susquehanna's computer systems that have date-sensitive software or date
sensitive hardware may recognize a date using "00" as the Year 1900 rather than
the Year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send statements, or engage in similar normal business
activities.
Based on a system assessment, Susquehanna has determined that it was
necessary to modify or replace portions of its software and hardware so that its
computer systems would properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999.
Susquehanna presently believes that as a result of modifications to existing
software and hardware and conversions to new software and hardware, the Year
2000 Issue has been mitigated internally.
Susquehanna's Year 2000 Action Plan has been categorized into five
phases: Awareness, Assessment, Renovation (testing), Validation and
Implementation. The initial focus within those phases has been on systems and
vendors that are related to mission critical business processes. Mission
critical processes are defined as those areas of the business whose continued
operations are required in order to provide basic banking services. All other
business processes were categorized as either significant or ancillary and have
also been subject to Y2K remediation programs. As of June 30, 1999, the
Awareness, Assessment, Renovation and Validation phases for all business
processes (mission critical, significant and ancillary) were completed. The
Implementation phase for all business processes (mission critical, significant
and ancillary) is also now completed.
Susquehanna has initiated formal communications with all of its vendors
and large commercial customers to determine the extent to which Susquehanna is
vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remedy their own Year 2000 Issue.
Susquehanna's estimated Year 2000
14
<PAGE>
project costs include the costs and time associated with the impact of a third
party's Year 2000 Issue, and are based on presently available information.
Vendors of services to Susquehanna were evaluated for Y2K compliancy.
As of June 30, 1999, the evaluation of vendors was completed. All vendors
evaluated were determined to be Y2K compliant or alternative vendors were
designated. Y2K risk assessments of borrowers and depositors have been
conducted. Identified risks are deemed to be nominal.
Susquehanna believes that it is Year 2000 ready. System testing did
reveal a need for business remediation contingency plans for core or other
internal processing systems. Exposure to counter-parties and other directly
related external vendors was deemed limited and required only nominal
contingency planning, such as the designation of an alternative vendor. The
greatest risk is believed to be through external parties that are not within
Susquehanna's control. A significant electrical failure, for example, may
require the company to limit or even eliminate services until power is restored.
Backup records will be produced immediately prior to January 1, 2000 to assure
an orderly resumption of business if major disruptions occur. Further, business
resumption contingency planning has been done throughout the company in order to
assure rapid and disciplined approaches to handling any unexpected occurrence.
Included within the scope of Susquehanna's Year 2000 Action Plan was
the assessment of non-information technology systems with embedded chips.
Susquehanna's assessment process generally included inventorying such equipment
and making a determination as to the Year 2000 readiness status of those items.
This assessment has been completed. No Year 2000 modifications or replacements
of a material nature were identified for non-information technology systems. As
part of the contingency plan Susquehanna has installed additional electric
generating capacity at its operations processing center in Lititz, PA.
Susquehanna is utilizing both internal and external resources to
reprogram, or replace, and test its software and hardware for Year 2000
modifications. Concurrent with the Year 2000 project, Susquehanna is also
converting all its major data processing systems, both hardware and software, to
current Year 2000 compliant technology. As of June 30, 1999, Susquehanna has
completed the systems conversion projects for all critical systems. The total
cost of the Year 2000 and systems conversion projects is estimated at $12
million. Of the total projects' cost, approximately $8 million is attributable
to the purchase of new software and hardware, which is capitalized. The
remaining $4 million is expensed as incurred during 1998 and 1999. These costs
are not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations of
Susquehanna.
As a bank holding company, Susquehanna and its subsidiaries are subject
to the regulation and oversight of various banking regulators. Their oversight
includes the provision of specific timetables, programs and guidance regarding
Year 2000 issues. Regulatory examination of the holding company and its
subsidiaries' Year 2000 program are conducted on a quarterly basis, and reports
are submitted by Susquehanna to the regulators on a periodic basis.
