Dave Cutright, Chairperson of the Board Bill Lavage, President/Chief Executive Officer Letter from the Chairperson and President/CEO Members, milestones, growth and community are four key attributes that describe our success in 2016. With the continued support of you, our members, we were able expand into the Sunbury area. Our asset growth topped $300 million! We accomplished this while remaining focused on our core values, especially supporting community, as evident by the many events and activities we supported throughout the past year. Our membership increased 7.0% to more than 27,500 members in 2016. We welcomed nearly 4,000 new members to the Service 1st family. Our membership growth continues to outpace the average 4.5% growth that credits unions were experiencing nationally in 2016. Construction began in June 2016 to transform a former video store on North Fourth Street in Sunbury into our tenth office location. The office opened in October. It features an ATM, one-lane drive through, night depository, and state-of-the-art pod stations for credit union members to conduct transactions. The pod stations are a variation of the traditional teller line, offering a more personal experience for performing transactions. We re enthusiastic about serving our existing members and welcoming new members in the Sunbury area. Service 1st continues to grow while maintaining a strong financial position. Our total assets surpassed $300 million; ending the year at $307 million. We are currently the 24th largest credit union in the state, which places us in the top 6.0% of the 415 credit unions in Pennsylvania. Our savings increased 9.3% to $274 million. Savings in credit unions of similar asset size increased by 5.7%. Our largest areas of growth were member savings accounts and certificates, increasing $10 million and $5 million, respectively. Loans to members increased by 11.0%, led by automobile, member business, home equity and mortgage loans. Peer credit union loan growth was 8.5%. Return on Average Assets (ROA) is one measure of the financial health of a financial institution. Service 1st s ROA in 2016 was 0.70% which compares favorably to peers of 0.50%. Our net worth remains strong at 8.3%, indicating we are well capitalized. Additionally, we continue to earn a positive report and rating from the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), our federal regulator. As the geographic footprint we serve continues to grow, so does our outreach to our communities. Winston Churchill once said, We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. We say thank you to our employees and our volunteers for giving your time and resources to these events. Some of our community events are highlighted in the pages that follow. At Service 1st, we value the trust you have placed in us and we will remain focused on our core values as we evolve to meet your needs. 1
