CEO Comments

We finished 2020 with strong fourth quarter results and net income for the year that was the second highest in the Company's history, second only to our performance in 2019. While we started the year without realizing the coming impact of Covid-19, the successful implementation of our existing Pandemic Policy and Procedures plan, our strong capital base made stronger by the sale of $20 million in sub debt, our strong customer base and the determination, competence and creativity of our team of employees carried us through the year successfully.

Despite the challenges, there have been positives to the Company as a result of the situations caused by the Pandemic. The conditions we had to operate under have helped propel us forward by forcing us to adopt more digital resources and rethink how we do business, which will benefit our customers and shareholders We have been pleased with how we responded to the Paycheck Protection Program and the growth of our residential mortgage team which resulted in record mortgage originations and fee income.

While our stock performance for the year was disappointing it has been nice to see our stock price start to recover in the fourth quarter as the investors began to find opportunities in the financial services sector and in Franklin Financial Services Corp. We will continue to do what we can to support the value of our shares throughout the coming year. Our short-term challenges going forward will be loan portfolio growth, while maintaining good credit quality, and improving the bank's overall operating efficiency. Given the strength of the Bank's balance sheet and how well the Bank's team of employees handled the challenges of 2020, I believe we are well positioned to be successful in 2021.

The following investor presentation being released on Form 8(k) is a supplement to our quarterly earnings release. While it remains very difficult to give clear guidance for 2021, we can give you insight to where we are today and what we are doing for tomorrow. We appreciate the support of our shareholders and I am available to you at any time to listen to your concerns and ideas and answer your questions to the best of my ability.

Sincerely,
