| MID PENN BANCORP, INC. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis |
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the major elements of Mid Penn’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the view of management and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation and Notes thereto and other detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The comparability of the results of operations for the year ended 2023, compared to 2022 and 2021, in general, have been materially impacted by the Brunswick Acquisition, which closed on May 19, 2023.
Mid Penn is not aware of any current trends, events, uncertainties or any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on Mid Penn’s or the Bank’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations.
Executive Overview
Mid Penn is a financial holding company incorporated in August 1991 in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Mid Penn generates the majority of its revenues through net interest income, or the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Growth in net interest income is dependent upon balance sheet growth and maintaining or increasing the net interest margin, which is fully taxable-equivalent basis ("FTE") net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The Corporation also generates revenue through fees earned on the various services and products offered to its customers and through gains on sales of assets, such as loans, investments and properties. Offsetting these revenue sources are provisions for credit losses, non-interest expenses and income taxes.
The following table presents a summary of the Corporation's earnings and selected performance ratios:

During the second quarter of 2023, Mid Penn completed the Brunswick Acquisition, which added total assets of $391.9 million comprised primarily of $324.5 million of loans. This transaction resulted in the addition of 5 branches in central New Jersey. Mid Penn issued 849,510 shares of its common stock as well as a net cash payment to Brunswick shareholders of $27.6 million, for total consideration of $45.7 million for all outstanding stock and the cancellation of options of Brunswick.
Summary of Financial Results
•Net Income Per Share - Mid Penn’s net income available to common shareholders ("earnings") for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $37.4 million or $2.29 per common share basic and diluted, compared to earnings of $54.8 million or $3.44 per common share basic and diluted for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results for the year ended December 31, 2023 were favorably impacted by loan growth, interest income growth and the Brunswick Acquisition. The year ended December 31, 2023 included the recognition of $15 thousand of Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan processing fees generated as a result of Mid Penn’s participation in the PPP compared to $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. These PPP fees are recognized into interest income over the term of the respective loan, or sooner if the loans are forgiven by the Small Business Administration or the borrowers otherwise pay down principal prior to a loan’s stated maturity. The year ended

December 31, 2023 also include merger and acquisition expenses of $5.5 million and post-acquisition restructuring expenses totaling $3.0 million resulting from the Brunswick Acquisition, which was announced on December 20, 2022 and legally closed on May 19, 2023.
•Net Interest Income
◦Net Interest Margin - For the year ended December 31, 2023, Mid Penn’s FTE net interest margin was 3.26% versus 3.59% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") increased rates four times during 2023. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 121 basis point(s) ("bp") in 2023 compared to 2022 and the rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased 197 bp in 2023 compared to 2022.
◦Loan Growth - Total loans, net of unearned income, as of December 31, 2023 were $4.3 billion compared to $3.5 billion as of December 31, 2022, an increase of $738.7 million, or 21.0%. The loan growth occurred primarily within Mid Penn’s commercial real estate loan portfolio. As mentioned above, $324.5 million, or 43.9%, of that growth was a result of the Brunswick Acquisition. The mix of commercial real estate and construction portfolios in relation to the total portfolio increased 33.61% and 1.93%, respectively from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023. Non-owner occupied office commercial real estate exposure represents 7.1% of total loan balances and is primarily limited to suburban offices.
◦Deposit Growth - Total deposits increased $567.9 million, or 15.0%, from $3.8 billion at December 31, 2022, to $4.3 billion at December 31, 2023. The Brunswick Acquisition contributed $282.6 million of additional deposits on the acquisition date.
•Asset Quality - Mid Penn adopted CECL on January 1, 2023. ACL at December 31, 2023 was $34.2 million, or 0.80% of total loans, as compared to $19.0 million, or 0.54% of total loans at December 31, 2022.
◦Net Recoveries/Charge-offs - Mid Penn had net loan charge-offs of $332 thousand and net loan recoveries of $60 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
◦Non-performing assets - Total non-performing assets were $14.5 million at December 31, 2023, an increase compared to non-performing assets of $9.3 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was partially a result of $3.9 million of non-accrual loans acquired from Brunswick.
◦Provision for credit losses - Loans - The PCL - loans was $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in provision for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, is primarily due to improved performance in Commercial and Industrial loans partially offset by increased delinquencies in the Commercial Real Estate portfolio. Prior to 2023, ACL and related provision are presented in accordance with the previous accounting guidance using the incurred loss method. The PCL for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes an initial provision for credit losses on non-PCD loans acquired in the Brunswick Acquisition of $2.0 million.
•Noninterest Income - Noninterest income totaled $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a $3.6 million, or 15.4%, decrease compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.2 million decrease in mortgage hedging, and a $1.8 million decrease in other miscellaneous income.
•Noninterest Expense - Noninterest expense totaled $119.0 million, an increase of $19.1 million, or 19.2%, compared to noninterest expense of $99.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in noninterest expense is driven by $8.5 million of merger-related expenses, a $6.7 million increase in salaries and benefits expense, and a $1.9 million increase in FDIC charges.

•Share Repurchases - Mid Penn repurchased 216,879 shares during 2023 at an average price per share of $22.31 under its share repurchase program.
•Business Combinations
◦As announced on Form 8-K filed on December 20, 2022, Mid Penn entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Brunswick Bancorp, pursuant to which Brunswick merged with and into Mid Penn, with Mid Penn being the surviving corporation in the Merger. This transaction legally closed on May 19, 2023.
◦On December 30, 2022, Mid Penn purchased the assets, in a business combination, of Managing Partners, Inc., an independent insurance agency that serviced the Central Pennsylvania area.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Mid Penn’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Application of certain principles involves significant judgments and estimates by management that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. The judgments and estimates used in applying these principles are based on historical experiences and other factors which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and estimates that have been made, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported results of operations.
Management of the Corporation considers the accounting judgments relating to the allowance for credit losses to be the accounting area that requires the most subjective and complex judgments.
Allowance for Credit Losses
In accordance with CECL, the ACL, which includes both the ACL - loans and the ACL for OBS credit exposures, is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve for current expected credit losses over the remaining expected life of the portfolio. Management's determination of the appropriateness of the reserve is based on continuously monitoring and evaluating the loan portfolio, lending-related commitments, current as well as forecasted economic factors, and other relevant factors. The ACL - loans is an estimate of expected losses inherent within Mid Penn's existing loan portfolio.
The loan loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of Mid Penn’s loan portfolio segments. When computing allowance levels, credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loss history and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Evaluations of the portfolio and individual credits are inherently subjective, as they require estimates, assumptions and judgments as to the facts and circumstances of particular situations. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgement by Management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the ACL and credit loss expense.
Mid Penn estimates the ACL using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Mid Penn uses a third-party software application to calculate the quantitative portion of the ACL using a methodology and assumptions specific to each loan pool. The qualitative portion of the allowance is based on general economic conditions and other internal and external factors affecting Mid Penn as a whole, as well as specific loans. Factors considered include the following: lending process, concentrations of credit, and credit quality. The quantitative and qualitative portions of the allowance are added together to determine the total ACL, which reflects Management’s expectations of future conditions based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. As such, the calculation of ACL is inherently subjective and requires management to exercise significant judgment. The CECL estimate is highly sensitive to the economic forecasts used to develop the estimate.

| MID PENN BANCORP, INC. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis |
While management uses the best information known to it in order to make ACL valuations, adjustments to the ACL may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, or changes in accounting guidance. In times of economic slowdown, either local, regional or national, the risk inherent in the loan portfolio could increase resulting in the need for additional provisions to the ACL in future periods. An increase could also be necessitated by an increase in the size of the loan portfolio or in any of its components even though the credit quality of the overall portfolio may be improving.
For further discussion of the methodology used in the determination of the ACL, refer to "Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", "Note 3 - Investment Securities", "Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans" and "Note 18 - Commitments and Contingencies" to the Consolidated Financial Statements. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional PCL may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.
The allowance for credit losses - Loans was $34.2 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $15.2 million, or 80.3%, compared to $19.0 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of the CECL implementation in 2023.
Goodwill
Mid Penn evaluates goodwill annually for impairment unless events occur which indicate that impairment is possible, a triggering event. In response to bank failures during the late first and early second quarters of 2023, Management performed a Step 1 Goodwill analysis as of May 31, 2023, given that the decline in the price of Mid Penn's stock below its book value following these events was deemed a triggering event. At December 31, 2023, Mid Penn had goodwill of $127.0 million and Mid Penn's stock continues to trade below book value.
Our annual impairment test was conducted during the fourth quarter of 2023. Factors considered include actual earnings in relation to forecasted earnings, liquidity levels, changes in deposit balances, and credit quality, among others. No goodwill impairment has been recorded for 2023. Management will continue to monitor internal metrics and macroeconomic trends to determine if there is likelihood of goodwill impairment.
Refer to Note 6 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further details on the Company's goodwill.
Business Combinations
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. In many cases, determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires Mid Penn to estimate the timing and amount of cash flows expected to result from these assets and liabilities and to discount these cash flows at appropriate rates of interest, which require the utilization of significant estimates and judgment in accounting for the acquisition.
Refer to Note 2 - Business Combinations for further details.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, Mid Penn's primary source of earnings, represents the difference between interest income received on loans, investments, and overnight funds, and interest expense paid on deposits and short- and long-term borrowings. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates and changes in average balances (volume) in the various interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. Interest and average rates in the table below are presented on a fully taxable-equivalent basis ("FTE"). Tax-equivalent adjustments were calculated using a statutory corporate tax rate of 21% for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. For purposes of calculating loan yields, average loan balances include non-accrual loans. Loan fees of $4.6 million, $8.4 million and $25.5 million are included with loan interest income in the following table for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, Mid Penn recognized $15 thousand, $3.8 million and $22.0 million of PPP fees, respectively, which are included in loan fees.

(1) The effect of changing volume and rate, which cannot be segregated, has been allocated entirely to the rate column. Tax-exempt income is shown on a tax equivalent basis using a statutory corporate tax rate of 21% for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Mid Penn’s FTE net interest margin was 3.26% versus 3.59% for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 3.30% for the year ended December 31, 2021. During 2023, FTE net interest income decreased $827 thousand, or 0.6%, compared to 2022. Interest income increased $30.0 million as the result of a $406.9 million, or 9.1%, increase in average interest-earning assets in 2023 compared to 2022 and increased $40.8 million as the result of a 121 bp increase in the yield on interest-earning assets in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease to net interest margin was primarily a result of an increase in funding costs and growth in average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by higher yields on interest-earning assets and growth in average interest-earning assets. As previously noted, the FOMC has increased rates four times during 2023. The growth in both average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities was largely the result of the Brunswick Acquisition. Both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities associated with the Brunswick Acquisition had substantially similar yields to the corresponding Mid Penn portfolios.
Average total loans, net, increased $651.0 million, or 20.2%, contributing $30.5 million to the increase in interest income. The yield on average total loans, net, increased from 4.68% for 2022 to 5.65% for 2023. The increase in the yield was primarily the result of the higher interest rate environment during 2023.

Total average investment securities increased $44.9 million, contributing $1.0 million to the increase in FTE interest income, and the average yield investment securities increased 40 bps, contributing $2.5 million to the increase in FTE interest income.
Interest expense for 2023 increased by $71.6 million or 403.0% when compared to 2022. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.55% in 2023 from 0.58% in 2022 and 0.60% in 2021. The rate on total interest-bearing deposits increased to 2.40% in 2023 from 0.48% in 2022 and 0.51% in 2021. The increase in the rate was primarily a result of a shift in the mix of deposits from demand, money market and savings to higher yielding time deposits. Mid Penn continued to offer higher rates to both retain and attract deposits. In addition, average short-term borrowings of $107.3 million were used to help fund loan growth, contributing to the $6.6 million increase in interest expense on short-term borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 2022.
Although the effective interest rate impact on interest-earning assets and funding sources can be reasonably estimated at current interest rate levels, the interest-bearing product and pricing options selected by customers, and the future mix of the loan, investment, and deposit products in the Bank's portfolios, may significantly change the estimates used in Mid Penn’s asset and liability management and related interest rate risk simulation models. In addition, our net interest income may be impacted by further interest rate actions of the Federal Reserve’s FOMC.

Provision for Credit Losses - Loans
On January 1, 2023, Mid Penn adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology, and is referred to as CECL.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the provision for credit losses was $3.3 million, a decrease of 23.4% compared to a provision for credit losses of $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $1.4 million, or 46.0%, lower than the $2.9 million provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in provision for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, is primarily due to improved performance in Commercial and Industrial loans partially offset by increased delinquencies in the Commercial Real Estate portfolio. Prior to 2023, ACL and related provision are presented in accordance with the previous accounting guidance using the incurred loss method. The PCL for year ended December 31, 2023 includes an initial provision for credit losses on non-PCD loans acquired in the Brunswick Acquisition of $2.0 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Mid Penn had net charge-offs of $332 thousand compared to net recoveries of $60 thousand and net charge-offs of $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A summary of charge-offs and recoveries of loans and the provision for loan losses is shown in the table below.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, noninterest income totaled $20.0 million, a decrease of $3.6 million or 15.4%, compared to noninterest income of $23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Income from fiduciary and wealth management activities, ATM debit card interchange income, service charges on deposits, mortgage banking, and mortgage hedging, and Other income all decreased compared to the prior year.
Mortgage banking income decreased $254 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Mortgage loan originations and secondary-market loan sales and gains slowed during 2023 as a result of increases in interest rates. As mortgage rates have risen, demand for mortgages has slowed significantly. As such, it is more difficult to properly hedge lower volumes within the mortgage pipeline. Mortgage hedging income was $324 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2022.
Other income decreased $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in other income was primarily driven by a $1.8 million decrease in other miscellaneous income and a $438 thousand decrease in insurance commissions.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, noninterest expense totaled $119.0 million, an increase of $19.1 million, or 19.2%, compared to noninterest expense of $99.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in noninterest expense is primarily driven by the Brunswick Acquisition as discussed in further detail below.
Salaries and employee benefits were $59.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $6.7 million, or 12.8%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was attributable to the retail staff additions at the five retail locations added through the Brunswick Acquisition and the retention of various Brunswick team members through the completion of the systems integration, which occurred on May 19, 2023.
Software licensing and utilization costs were $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $403 thousand, or 5.4%, compared to $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase is a result of additional costs to license the additional Brunswick branches, upgrades to internal systems, networks, storage capabilities, cybersecurity management, and data security mechanisms to enhance data management and security capabilities responsive to both the larger company profile and the increasing complexity of information technology management, and increases in certain core processing fees as our customer base and transaction volume continue to grow.
Occupancy increased $449 thousand and equipment expenses increased $628 thousand, or 6.5% and 14.0%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increases were driven by the facility operating costs and increased depreciation expense for building, furniture, and equipment, respectively, associated with the Brunswick Acquisition.
FDIC assessment expenses increased $1.9 million to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in FDIC charges was due primarily to a change in the assessment base from the Brunswick Acquisition and increased assessment rates from the bank failures in 2023.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, merger and acquisition expenses were $5.5 million and included investment banking fees, merger-related legal expenses, and other professional fees for advisory, valuation, and consulting services associated with the Brunswick. For additional information on recent acquisitions, see "Note 2 - Business Combinations", within Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Post-acquisition and restructuring expenses were $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $329 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by the Brunswick Acquisition.
Other expenses increased $1.3 million from $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, to $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Several categories within other expense increased, primarily as a result of the Brunswick Acquisition and organic growth, including marketing, telephone, postage, courier, payroll processing, employee travel costs, and director fees.
For details on the variances of noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 refer to the "Noninterest Expense" section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $7.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $5.2 million compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2022. The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2023 reflects an effective combined Federal and state tax rate ("ETR") of 16.3%, compared to an ETR of 18.6% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rates in 2023 compared to 2022 was a result of recalculating Mid Penn's deferred tax assets as a result of now doing business in New Jersey due to the Brunswick Acquisition and receiving a benefit in state tax expense. Generally, Mid Penn’s effective tax rate is below the federal statutory rate due to earnings on tax-exempt loans, investments, and earnings from the cash surrender value of life insurance, as well as the impact of federal income tax credits, including those awarded from Mid Penn’s low-income housing investments. The realization of Mid Penn’s deferred tax assets is dependent on future earnings. Mid Penn currently anticipates that future earnings will be adequate to fully realize the currently recorded deferred tax assets.
Financial Condition
Mid Penn’s total assets were $5.3 billion as of December 31, 2023, reflecting an increase of $792.8 million, or 17.6%, compared to total assets of $4.5 billion as of December 31, 2022. Included in total assets as of December 31, 2023 are $1.4 million of PPP loans, net of deferred fees. Comparatively, as of December 31, 2022, Mid Penn had $2.6 million of PPP loans outstanding, net of deferred fees.
Investment Securities
Mid Penn’s portfolio of held-to-maturity ("HTM") securities, recorded at amortized cost, decreased $366 thousand to $399.1 million as of December 31, 2023, as compared to $399.5 million as of December 31, 2022. Mid Penn’s total available-for-sale ("AFS") securities portfolio decreased $14.3 million from $237.9 million at December 31, 2022 to $223.6 million at December 31, 2023.
At December 31, 2023, the unrealized loss on AFS investment securities resulted in a positive impact to shareholders’ equity of $2.0 million (comprised of a gross unrealized gain on securities of $2.1 million net of a deferred income tax cost of $144 thousand). At December 31, 2022, the unrealized loss on AFS investment securities resulted in a negative impact to shareholders’ equity of $19.1 million (comprised of a gross unrealized loss on securities of $24.1 million and net of a deferred income tax benefit of $5.1 million). Mid Penn does not have any significant concentrations of non-governmental securities within its investment portfolio.
Mid Penn’s investment portfolio is utilized primarily to support overall liquidity and interest rate risk management, to provide collateral supporting pledging requirements for public funds on deposit, and to generate additional interest income within reasonable risk parameters. Mid Penn’s investment portfolio includes both held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities.

Total loans, net of unearned income, as of December 31, 2023 were $4.3 billion compared to $3.5 billion as of December 31, 2022, an increase of $738.7 million. Organic loan growth for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $423.6 million, or 10.8% (excluding Brunswick Acquisition loans of $324.5 million). Organic growth occurred primarily across the commercial and industrial and residential mortgage loan portfolios.
The majority of the Bank's loan portfolio is to businesses and individuals located within the Bank's primary market area of the Pennsylvania counties of Berks, Blair, Bucks, Centre, Chester, Clearfield, Cumberland, Dauphin, Fayette, Huntingdon, Lancaster, Lehigh, Luzerne, Montgomery, Perry, Schuylkill and Westmoreland and New Jersey. Commercial real estate, construction, and land development loans are collateralized mainly by mortgages on the income-producing real estate or land involved. Commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans are primarily made to business entities and may be secured by business assets, including commercial real estate, or may be unsecured. Residential real estate loans are secured by liens on the residential property. Consumer loans include installment loans, lines of credit and home equity loans. The Bank has no significant concentration of credit to any one borrower. The Bank’s highest concentration of credit by loan type is in commercial real estate.
Credit risk is managed through portfolio diversification, underwriting policies and procedures, and loan monitoring practices. Lenders are provided with detailed underwriting policies for all types of credit risks accepted by the Bank and must obtain appropriate internal approvals for credit extensions. The Bank also maintains strict documentation requirements and robust credit quality assurance practices in order to identify credit portfolio weaknesses as early as possible, so any exposures that are discovered might be mitigated or potential losses reduced. The Bank generally secures its loans with real estate, with such collateral values dependent and subject to change based on real estate market conditions within its market area.

Credit Quality, Credit Risk, and Allowance for Credit Losses
Mid Penn adopted FASB ASC Topic 326, in accordance with the amendments of FASB ASU 2016-13, effective January 1, 2023. The guidance in FASB ASC 326 replaces Mid Penn’s previous incurred loss methodology with a methodology that reflects the current expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit losses. Mid Penn’s ACL methodology for loans is based upon guidance within FASB ASC Subtopic 326-20, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measured at Amortized Cost," as well as regulatory guidance from the FDIC, the Bank's primary federal regulator. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Credit quality within the loan portfolio is continuously monitored by management and is reflected within the ACL for loans. The ACL is an estimate of expected losses inherent within Mid Penn’s existing loan portfolio. The ACL is adjusted through the provision for credit losses and reduced by the charge off of loan amounts, net of recoveries.
The loan loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of Mid Penn’s loan portfolio segments. When computing allowance levels, credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loss history, delinquency status and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Evaluations of the portfolio and individual credits are inherently subjective, as they require estimates, assumptions and judgments as to the facts and circumstances of particular situations. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgement by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and credit loss expense.

For a complete description of Mid Penn’s ACL methodology and the quantitative and qualitative factors included in the calculation, please see "Note 4 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans" included in Part I. Item 1. – Financial Statements of this report.
Upon the adoption of FASB ASC Topic 326 on January 1, 2023, Mid Penn recorded an overall increase of $15.0 million to the ACL on January 1, 2023 as a result of the adoption of CECL. Retained earnings decreased $11.5 million and deferred tax assets increased by $3.1 million. Included in the $15.0 million increase to the ACL was $3.1 million for certain OBS credit exposures that were previously recognized in other liabilities before the adoption of CECL. The ACL and the related PCL for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 reflect Mid Penn’s application of the incurred loss method for estimating credit losses.

Total nonperforming assets were $14.5 million at December 31, 2023, an increase compared to nonperforming assets of $8.6 million at December 31, 2022. The increase since December 31, 2022 was primarily the result of the addition of $3.9 million of non-accrual loans from the Brunswick Acquisition and the migration of one relationship to non-accrual during the first quarter of 2023, which is collateralized in excess of the outstanding loan balances based on a current appraisal of the collateral.
Deposits and Other Funding Sources
Mid Penn's primary source of funds are retail deposits from businesses, public funds depositors, and consumers in its market area. For the year ended December 31, 2023, deposits totaled $4.3 billion, an increase of $567.9 million, or 15.0%. The Brunswick Acquisition contributed $281.4 million to the deposit growth, the remaining being attributed to organic deposit growth.

As of December 31, 2023, uninsured deposits were approximately $1.2 billion compared to $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2022. The maturities of the uninsured time deposits as of December 31, 2023 were as follows:
| (In thousands) | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Three months or less | $ | 142,824 |

| $ | 334,538 |
Short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2023 totaled $241.5 million, compared to $102.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and consisted of $166.5 million of FHLB overnight borrowings and $75.0 million of other FHLB Short Term borrowings. As of December 31, 2023, the Bank had long-term debt outstanding in the amount of $59.0 million compared to $4.4 million as of December 31, 2022. This increase consisted of $30.0 million from the Brunswick Acquisition and $25.0 million related to an additional borrowing entered into by Mid Penn.
Subordinated debt and trust preferred securities totaled $46.4 million as of December 31, 2023 compared to $56.9 million as of December 31, 2022. In April 2023, Mid Penn redeemed $10.0 million subordinated debt issued in December of 2017. See "Note 11 - Subordinated Debt and Trust Preferred Securities", within Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Shareholders' Equity and Capital
Shareholders' equity, or capital, is evaluated in relation to total assets and the risk associated with those assets. The detailed computation of Mid Penn’s regulatory capital ratios can be found in "Note 17 - Regulatory Matters", within Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The greater the Corporation’s capital resources, the more likely it is to meet its cash obligations and absorb unforeseen losses. Capital management practices have been, and will continue to be, of paramount importance to the Corporation in support of both its regulatory capital requirements and its shareholders.
Shareholders’ equity increased $30.3 million, or 5.9%, to $542.4 million as of December 31, 2023 from $512.1 million as of December 31, 2022, primarily as result of net income, common stock issued to Brunswick shareholders, and restricted stock activity partially offset by a decrease in retained earnings due to the impact of adopting CECL totaling $11.5 million, dividends declared of $13.0 million and share repurchases totaling $4.9 million.
Mid Penn maintained regulatory capital levels, leverage ratios, and risk-based capital ratios as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, as follows:
| December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | Regulatory Minimum for Capital Adequacy | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier I Leverage Capital (to Average Assets) | 8.32 | % | 9.57 | % | 4.00 | % | |||
| Common Equity Tier I (to Risk-Weighted Assets) | 9.78 | 11.18 | 7.00 | ||||||
| Tier I Risk-Based Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) | 9.78 | 11.18 | 8.50 | ||||||
| Total Risk-Based Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) | 11.69 | 13.19 | 10.50 |
As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Mid Penn and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements and the Bank was considered "well-capitalized". However, future changes in regulations could increase capital requirements and may have an adverse effect on capital resources.
Liquidity
Mid Penn’s objective is to maintain adequate liquidity to meet funding needs at a reasonable cost and to provide contingency plans to meet unanticipated funding needs or a loss of funding sources, while minimizing interest rate risk.
51
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| MID PENN BANCORP, INC. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis |
Adequate liquidity provides resources for credit needs of borrowers, for depositor withdrawals, and for funding corporate operations. Sources of liquidity are as follows:
•a growing core deposit base;
•proceeds from the sale or maturity of investment securities;
•payments received on loans and mortgage-backed securities;
•overnight correspondent bank borrowings on various credit lines; and
•borrowing capacity available from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Discount Window available to Mid Penn.
Mid Penn believes its core deposits are generally stable even in periods of changing interest rates. Liquidity is measured and monitored daily, allowing management to better understand and react to balance sheet trends. These measurements indicate that liquidity generally remains stable and exceeds our minimum defined levels of adequacy. Other than the trends of continued competitive pressures and volatile interest rates, and the uncertain impact of the current inflationary environment, there are no known demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
On at least a quarterly basis, a comprehensive liquidity analysis is reviewed by the Asset Liability Committee and Board of Directors. The analysis provides a summary of the current liquidity measurements, projections, and future liquidity positions given various levels of liquidity stress. Management also maintains a detailed Contingency Funding Plan designed to respond to overall stress in the financial condition of the banking industry or a prospective liquidity problem specific to Mid Penn.
The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows provide additional information. Mid Penn’s operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 provided $51.9 million of cash, mainly due to net income. Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 was $408.5 million, mainly the result of the net increase in loans. Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 totaled $392.5 million, primarily the result of an increase in net deposits. The net cash received from the Brunswick Acquisition totaled $1.1 million.

Details on expected maturities of investments, loans and deposits are presented in the above sections of Management's Discussion and Analysis. We are not aware of any other commitments or contingent liabilities which may have a material adverse impact on Mid Penn’s liquidity or capital resources.
Effects of Inflation
A bank's asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an industrial company in that virtually all assets and liabilities of a bank are monetary in nature. Management believes the impact of inflation on its financial results depends principally upon Mid Penn's ability to measure its sensitivity to changes in interest rates and to take appropriate actions, as needed or controllable by the Bank, to mitigate the impacts of inflation on performance. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or at the same magnitude as the prices of other goods and services. As discussed previously, management seeks to manage the relationship between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation.

Information included elsewhere in this report will assist in the understanding of how Mid Penn is positioned to react to changing interest rates and inflationary trends. In particular, the previously discussed risk factors, the composition of and yields on loans and investments, and the composition and costs of deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities, should be considered.
Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Mid Penn makes contractual commitments to extend credit and extends lines of credit, which are subject to Mid Penn's credit approval and monitoring procedures. As of December 31, 2023, commitments to extend credit amounted to $1.5 billion compared to $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2022.
Mid Penn also issues standby letters of credit to its customers. The risk associated with standby letters of credit is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in loan extensions to customers. Standby letters of credit increased to $62.2 million at December 31, 2023, from $57.2 million at December 31, 2022.
