Harleysville Financial Corporation Announces Earnings for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2024, and the Declaration of Regular Cash Dividend.

HARL

Harleysville Financial Corporation (OTCQX:HARL) reported today that the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.31 per share on the Company’s common stock. The cash dividend will be payable on November 13, 2024 to stockholders of record on October 30, 2024.

Net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $8,860,000 or $2.43 per diluted share compared to $12,223,000 or $3.29 per diluted share for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 amounted to $2,051,000 or $.56 per diluted share compared to $3,018,000 or $.82 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.

Commenting on the year-end operating results, President and Chief Executive Officer Brendan J. McGill said, “We are pleased to report solid earnings for the fiscal year 2024 of $8,860,000; despite the margin compression the banking industry experienced over the year. We feel our balance sheet is strong, as a result of positive financial results in loan growth, increase in deposit accounts, a strong efficiency ratio, and improvement to our asset quality.

As we enter the early stages of a declining interest rate environment, we will be intentional when it comes to pricing our loan and deposit products, while still providing our customers with competitive rates they have come to expect from us. I am proud of the work ethic of our team members and the way they serve our customers. These results reflect our discipline to our fundamental operating principles of maintaining prudent underwriting standards, investing in high credit quality assets, controlling our operating expenses, and practicing sound capital management.”

The Company’s assets totaled $863.0 million compared to $842.3 million a year ago. Stockholders’ book value increased 0.3% to $23.83 per share from $23.76 a year ago.
