NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (“2012 Form 10-K”).

The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2012 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Form 10-Q. Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after March 31, 2013, for potential recognition or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and dates indicated. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2012, contained herein has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ 2012 Form 10-K.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items. Peoples’ insurance income includes contingent performance-based insurance commissions that are recognized by Peoples when received, which typically occurs during the first quarter of each year. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the amount of contingent performance-based insurance commissions recognized totaled $504,000 and $919,000, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on the presentation of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). This standard was effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The amendment requires an entity to present the reclassification adjustments out of AOCI and into net income for each component reported. These amounts may be disclosed before-tax or after-tax, and must be disclosed in either the income statement or the notes to the financial statements. This update is intended to supplement changes made in 2012 to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. Peoples adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2013, as required. As a result of the adoption, the disclosure of AOCI included in Note 5 contains additional information regarding reclassifications out of AOCI and into net income.

The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1 inputs) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2).

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis included the following:

Impaired Loans: Impaired loans are measured and reported at fair value when the amounts to be received are less than the carrying value of the loans. One of the allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment is estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Management’s determination of the fair value for these loans uses a market approach representing the estimated net proceeds to be received from the sale of the collateral based on observable market prices or market value provided by independent, licensed or certified appraisers (Level 2 inputs). At March 31, 2013, impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $3.1 million were measured and reported at a fair value of $2.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, Peoples recognized losses of $0.6 million on impaired loans through the allowance for loan losses.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried on Peoples’ consolidated balance sheets, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis:



	March 31, 2013				December 31, 2012
(Dollars in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

Cash and cash equivalents	$	125,398	$	125,398	$	62,542	$	62,542
Investment securities	675,836		676,096		709,085		710,934
Loans	965,923		897,408		973,907		897,132
Financial liabilities:

Long-term borrowings	127,074		138,688		128,823		141,691

The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, demand and other non-maturity deposits and overnight borrowings. Peoples used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:

Loans: The fair value of portfolio loans assumes sale of the notes to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, this value is not necessarily the value to Peoples if the notes were held to maturity. Peoples considered interest rate, credit and market factors in estimating the fair value of loans (Level 2 inputs). In the current whole loan market, financial investors are generally requiring a much higher rate of return than the return inherent in loans if held to maturity given the lack of market liquidity. This divergence accounts for the majority of the difference in carrying amount over fair value.

Deposits: The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities (Level 2 inputs).

Long-term Borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2 inputs).

Bank premises and equipment, customer relationships, deposit base, banking center networks, and other information required to compute Peoples’ aggregate fair value are not included in the above information. Accordingly, the above fair values are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of Peoples.

Peoples’ investment in equity securities was comprised entirely of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, there were no securities of a single issuer, other than U.S. Treasury and government agencies and U.S. government sponsored agencies, that exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity. In early April of 2013, Peoples increased its investments in mortgage-backed securities, mostly residential, by approximately $60 million, funded from cash and cash equivalents.

The gross gains and gross losses realized by Peoples from sales of available-for-sale securities for the periods ended March 31 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2013		2012
Gross gains realized	$	2,045	$	3,272
Gross losses realized	1,627		109
Net gain realized	$	418	$	3,163

The cost of investment securities sold, and any resulting gain or loss, was based on the specific identification method and recognized as of the trade date.

Management systematically evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. At March 31, 2013, management concluded no individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired since Peoples did not have the intent to sell nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were largely attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased.

At March 31, 2013, approximately 92% of the mortgage-backed securities that have been at an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more were issued by U.S. government sponsored enterprises. The remaining 8%, or six positions, consisted of privately issued mortgage-backed securities with all of the underlying mortgages originated prior to 2004. Three of the six positions had a fair value less than 90% of their book value, with an aggregate book and fair value of $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Management has analyzed the underlying credit quality of these securities and concluded the unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the floating rate nature of these investments and the low number of loans remaining in these securities.

Furthermore, one of the four bank-issued trust preferred securities which were in an unrealized loss position were within 90% of book value, while the unrealized losses for the remaining three were primarily attributable to the floating nature of those investments, the current interest rate environment and spreads within that sector. The remaining three securities had an aggregate book value of approximately $3.0 million and fair value of $2.4 million at March 31, 2013.

Pledged Securities

Peoples had pledged available-for-sale investment securities with a carrying value of $330.0 million and $260.9 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, to secure public and trust department deposits and repurchase agreements in accordance with federal and state requirements. Additionally, Peoples had pledged held-to-maturity investment securities with a carrying value of $18.4 million and $45.3 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, to secure public and trust department deposits and repurchase agreements in accordance with federal and state requirements. Peoples also pledged available-for-sale investment securities with carrying values of $23.5 million and $50.4 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and held-to-maturity securities with a carrying value of $26.7 million at March 31, 2013 to secure additional borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati ("FHLB") and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland ("FRB").

Note 4. Loans

Peoples' loan portfolio consists of various types of loans originated primarily as a result of lending opportunities within Peoples' primary market areas of central and southeastern Ohio, west central West Virginia, and northeastern Kentucky. The major classifications of loan balances, excluding loans held for sale, were as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Commercial real estate, construction	$	24,108	$	34,265
Commercial real estate, other	381,331		378,073
Commercial real estate	405,439		412,338

Home equity lines of credit	50,555		51,053
Consumer	108,353		101,246
Deposit account overdrafts	3,996		6,563
Total loans	$	980,518	$	985,172

Peoples has acquired various loans through business combinations for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amounts of these loans included in the loan balances above are summarized as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Commercial real estate	$	2,055	$	2,145

Consumer	62		84
Total outstanding balance	$	14,670	$	15,176
Net carrying amount	$	14,193	$	14,700

Peoples has pledged certain loans secured by 1-4 family and multifamily residential mortgages under a blanket collateral agreement to secure borrowings from the FHLB. The amount of such pledged loans totaled $203.1 million and $202.0 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Peoples also had pledged commercial loans to secure borrowings with the FRB. The outstanding balances of these loans totaled $159.8 million and $123.8 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due. The recorded investments in loans on nonaccrual status and accruing loans delinquent for 90 days or more were as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators

As discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2012 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples is as follows:

“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the debt if required, for any weakness that may exist.

“Watch” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” classification. Loans in this category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and /or reliance on the secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in Peoples' credit position.

“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Peoples will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, its classification as an estimate loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

“Loss” (grade 8): Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses are taken in the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.

Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements. All other loans not evaluated individually nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as described above would be considered as being “not rated”.

The following table summarizes the risk category of Peoples' loan portfolio based upon the most recent analysis performed:

At March 31, 2013, Peoples' impaired loans shown in the table above included loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings.

In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, Peoples considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (i) the debtor is currently in payment default on any of its debt; (ii) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (iii) the debtor has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy and (iv) the debtor's projected cash flow is insufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.

Peoples considers all aspects of the modification to loan terms to determine whether or not a concession has been granted to the borrower. Key factors considered by Peoples include the debtor's ability to access funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics, the significance of the modification relative to the unpaid principal balance or collateral value of the debt, and the significance of a delay in the timing of payments relative to the original contractual terms of the loan. The most common concessions granted by Peoples generally include one or more modifications to the terms of the debt, such as (i) a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the debt, (ii) an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, (iii) a temporary period of interest-only payments, and (iv) a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or the remaining term of the loan.

During 2013, in accordance with regulatory guidance regarding borrowers who were in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Peoples identified $274,000 of loans that were TDRs. The regulatory guidance requires loans to be accounted for as collateral-dependent loans when borrowers have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the debt has been discharged and the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt, regardless of the delinquency status of the loan. The filing of bankruptcy by the borrower is evidence of financial difficulty and the discharge of the obligation by the bankruptcy court is deemed to be a concession granted to the borrower. The $274,000 of loans were accruing as of March 31, 2013 since Peoples expects to collect all principal and interest payments.

The following table summarizes the loans that were modified as a TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2013. There were no loans modified as a TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Note 6. Employee Benefit Plans

Peoples sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2010. The plan provides retirement benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation. For employees hired before January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on the employee’s average monthly compensation pay over the highest five consecutive years out of the employee’s last ten years with Peoples while an eligible employee. For employees hired on or after January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on 2% of the employee’s annual compensation plus accrued interest. Effective January 1, 2010, the pension plan was closed to new entrants. Effective March 1, 2011, the accrual of pension plan benefits for all participants was frozen. Peoples recognized this freeze as a curtailment as of December 31, 2010 and March 1, 2011, under the terms of the pension plan. Peoples also provides post-retirement health and life insurance benefits to former employees and directors. Only those individuals who retired before January 27, 2012 were eligible for life insurance benefits. All retirees are eligible for health benefits; however, Peoples only pays 100% of the cost for those individuals who retired before January 1, 1993. For all others, the retiree is responsible for most, if not all, of the cost of health benefits. Peoples’ policy is to fund the cost of the benefits as they arise.

Note 7. Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the “2006 Equity Plan”), Peoples may grant, among other awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights and unrestricted common share awards to employees and non-employee directors. Restricted and unrestricted awards are limited to 50% of the total number of common shares available under the 2006 Equity Plan. The total number of common shares available under the 2006 Equity Plan is 500,000. Prior to 2007, Peoples granted nonqualified and incentive stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options to non-employee directors under the 2006 Equity Plan and predecessor plans. Since February 2007, Peoples has granted a combination of restricted common shares and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to be settled in common shares to employees and restricted common shares to non-employee directors subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the 2006 Equity Plan. In general, common shares issued in connection with stock-based awards are issued from treasury shares to the extent available. If no treasury shares are available, common shares are issued from authorized but unissued common shares.

Stock Options

Under the provisions of the 2006 Equity Plan and predecessor stock option plans, the exercise price per share of any stock option granted may not be less than the grant date fair market value of the underlying common shares. All stock options granted to both employees and non-employee directors expire ten years from the date of grant. The most recent stock option grants to employees and non-employee directors occurred in 2006. The stock options granted to employees vested three years after the grant date, while the stock options granted to non-employee directors vested six months after the grant date.

The following summarizes the changes to Peoples' stock options for the period ended March 31, 2013:



	Number of Common Shares Subject to Options	Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1	101,594	$	26.09
Expired	33,658	22.85
Outstanding at March 31	67,936	$	27.69	1.9 years	$	2,000
Exercisable at March 31	67,936	$	27.69	1.9 years	$	2,000

$28.57	to	$30.00	20,283	2.1 years	29.09
Total			67,936	1.9 years	$	27.69

(1) The weighted-average remaining contractual life of the 2,888 common shares outstanding was less than 1 month.

Stock Appreciation Rights

SARs granted to employees have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Peoples’ common shares on the date of grant and will be settled using common shares of Peoples. Additionally, the SARs granted vested three years after the grant date and expire ten years from the date of grant. The most recent grant of SARs occurred in 2008. The following table summarizes Peoples’ SARs outstanding at March 31, 2013:



Exercise Price	Number of Common Shares Subject to SARs Outstanding & Exercisable	Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life
$23.26	2,000	4.3 years
$23.77	11,509	4.5 years
$29.25	9,340	3.6 years
Total	22,849	4.1 years

Restricted Shares

Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may award restricted common shares to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. In general, the restrictions on common shares awarded to non-employee directors expire after six months, while the restrictions on common shares awarded to employees expire after periods ranging from one to three years. In the first quarter of 2013, Peoples granted restricted common shares to non-employee directors with a six month time-based vesting period. Also during the first quarter of 2013, Peoples granted restricted common shares subject to performance-based vesting to officers and key employees with restrictions that will lapse one to three years after the grant date provided that Peoples has net income greater than zero and maintains a well-capitalized status by regulatory standards. The following summarizes the changes to Peoples’ restricted common shares for the period ended March 31, 2013:



	Time Vesting			Performance Vesting
	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the execution date of this Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Although management believes the expectations in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of management’s knowledge of Peoples’ business and operations, it is possible that actual results may differ materially from these projections. Additionally, Peoples undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the filing date for this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as may be required by applicable legal requirements.

Business Overview

The following discussion and analysis of Peoples’ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial condition and results of operations.

Peoples offers diversified financial products and services through 48 financial service locations and 44 ATMs in southeastern Ohio, west central West Virginia and northeastern Kentucky through its financial service units – Peoples Bank, National Association (“Peoples Bank”) and Peoples Insurance Agency, LLC ("Peoples Insurance"), a subsidiary of Peoples Bank. Peoples Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Peoples’ products and services include traditional banking products, such as deposit accounts, lending products and trust services. Peoples provides services through traditional offices, ATMs and telephone and internet-based banking. Peoples also offers a complete array of insurance products and makes available custom-tailored fiduciary and wealth management services. Brokerage services are offered by Peoples' exclusively through an unaffiliated registered broker-dealer.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples conform to US GAAP and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management has identified the accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to understanding Peoples’ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis at March 31, 2013, which were unchanged from the policies disclosed in Peoples’ 2012 Form 10-K.

Summary of Recent Transactions and Events

The following is a summary of recent transactions and events that have impacted or are expected to impact Peoples’ results of operations or financial condition:

◦

On January 2, 2013, Peoples Insurance acquired a commercial insurance agency office and related customer accounts in the Pikeville, Kentucky area (the "Pikeville Acquisition"). On April 5, 2013, Peoples Insurance acquired McNelly Insurance and Consulting Agency, LLC and related customer accounts in Jackson, Ohio. The acquisitions help Peoples maintain the revenue diversity by continuing to grow the fee-based businesses.

◦

Peoples periodically has taken actions to reduce interest rate exposure within the investment portfolio and entire balance sheet, which have included the sale of low yielding investment securities and repayment of high-cost borrowings. These actions included the sale of $68.8 million of investment securities, primarily low or volatile yielding residential mortgage-backed securities, during the first quarter of 2013. Some of the proceeds from these investment sales were reinvested in securities during the first quarter with the remaining reinvested early in the second quarter of 2013. In future quarters, Peoples intends to use the cash flow generated from the investment portfolio to fund loan growth.

◦

On December 19, 2012, Peoples repaid the entire $30.9 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of its Series A and Series B Junior Subordinated Debentures and the proceeds were used by PEBO Capital Trust I to redeem 22,975 Series B 8.62% Capital Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount of $23.0 million, held by institutional investors as well as 928 outstanding Common Securities and 7,025 Series B 8.62% Capital Securities, having an aggregate liquidation amount of $8.0 million, held by Peoples (the "Trust Preferred Redemption"). This transaction resulted in Peoples incurring a pre-tax loss of $1.0 million for the redemption premium and unamortized

Table of Contents

issuance costs. Peoples funded $24.0 million of the repayment with a term note from an unaffiliated financial institution at a significantly lower interest rate, and the balance with cash on hand. As a result of the Trust Preferred Redemption, Peoples will realize an annual interest expense savings of $1.1 million beginning in 2013. Through the first three months of 2013, as a result of the Trust Preferred Redemption, Peoples realized interest expense savings of approximately $0.3 million.


◦	On September 17, 2012, Peoples introduced its new brand as part of a company-wide brand revitalization. The brand is Peoples' promise, which is a guarantee of satisfaction and quality. Peoples will continue to incur costs throughout 2013 associated with the brand revitalization, including marketing due to advertisement, and depreciation for the revitalization of its branch network.

◦

Since the second quarter of 2011, Peoples has experienced generally improving trends in several asset quality metrics, after a three-year trend of higher credit losses and nonperforming assets than Peoples' long-term historical levels. Additionally, the amount of criticized loans has decreased due in part to Peoples upgrading the loan quality ratings of various commercial loans. These conditions have resulted in recoveries of or lower provisions for loan losses.

◦

Peoples' net interest income and margin are impacted by changes in market interest rates based upon actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board either directly or through its Open Market Committee. These actions include changing its target Federal Funds Rate (the interest rate at which banks lend money to each other), Discount Rate (the interest rate charged to banks for money borrowed from the Federal Reserve Bank) and longer-term market interest rates (primarily U.S. Treasury securities). Longer-term market interest rates also are affected by the demand for U.S. Treasury securities. The resulting changes in the yield curve slope have a direct impact on reinvestment rates for Peoples' earning assets.


◦	The Federal Reserve Board has maintained its target Federal Funds Rate at a historically low level of 0% to 0.25% since December 2008 and has maintained the Discount Rate at 0.75% since December 2010. The Federal Reserve Board continues to indicate there is the potential for these short-term rates to remain unchanged until certain inflation and unemployment rates are achieved.

◦

Since late 2008, the Federal Reserve Board has taken various actions to lower longer-term market interest rates as a means of stimulating the economy – a policy commonly referred to as “quantitative easing”. These actions have included the buying and selling of mortgage-backed and other debt securities through its open market operations. As a result, the slope of the U.S. Treasury yield curve has fluctuated significantly. Substantial flattening occurred in late 2008, in mid-2010 and since early third quarter of 2011, while moderate steepening occurred in the second half of 2009 and late 2010.

The impact of these transactions and events, where material, is discussed in the applicable sections of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Net income was $5.0 million, or $0.47 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $6.7 million and $0.63 a year ago and $3.9 million and $0.36 in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease in earnings compared to the first quarter of 2012 was largely attributable to higher non-interest expenses and a lower recovery of loan loss in 2013 than experienced in 2012.

In 2013, Peoples had a recovery of loan losses of $1.1 million as several asset quality metrics maintained favorable trends. In comparison, Peoples recorded recovery of loan losses of $0.5 million in the linked quarter, and $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2012. These recoveries represented amounts released from the reserves for loan losses in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Net interest income and margin were $13.0 million and 3.12%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2013, a reduction when compared to the linked quarter and first quarter of 2012. Net interest income decreased 8% compared to the linked quarter and 3% compared to the first quarter of 2012, while margin decreased 9% compared to both periods. The downward pressure on asset yields due to the long-term interest rates remaining at historically low levels was the primary reason for the continued compression of net interest income and margin.

Total non-interest income, which excludes gains and losses on investment securities, asset disposals and other transactions, totaled $9.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, 3% higher than the linked quarter and in line with the prior year quarter. The linked quarter improvement was largely due to recognition of annual performance-based insurance revenues. Year-over-year increases in trust and investment income, and property and casualty insurance commissions were offset by lower performance-based commissions.

Total non-interest expense was $16.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of 5% from the linked quarter and an increase of 8% over the prior year. The decrease from the linked quarter is largely due to a decrease in marketing expenses related to donations and rebranding costs that were incurred in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase over the prior year was due in part to the Sistersville acquisition, increased base salaries and wages for employees, and higher depreciation expense related to the new Vienna, WV office and rebranding.

At March 31, 2013, total assets were $1.94 billion versus $1.92 billion at year-end 2012, with the increase due mostly to higher cash balances, which grew $62.9 million. Gross loan balances were relatively flat during 2013. The allowance for loan losses was $17.4 million, or 1.78% of gross loans, compared to $17.8 million and 1.81% at December 31, 2012. Total investment securities decreased 5% to $675.8 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $709.1 million at year-end.

Total liabilities were $1.71 billion at March 31, 2013, up $16.3 million since December 31, 2012. Retail deposit balances experienced continued growth during 2013, increasing $39.6 million compared to year-end 2012. Non-interest-bearing deposits accounted for $23.8 million of the increase and comprised 23.1% of total retail deposits at March 31, 2013 versus 22.1% at year-end 2012. A portion of this growth in retail deposits was the result of normal seasonal increases in governmental/public funds and consumer deposit balances. At March 31, 2013, total borrowed funds were $159.5 million, down $17.1 million compared to year-end.

At March 31, 2013, total stockholders' equity was $226.1 million, up $4.4 million since December 31, 2012. Earnings exceeded dividends declared by $3.7 million. Regulatory capital ratios remained significantly higher than "well capitalized" minimums. Peoples' Tier 1 Common Capital ratio increased to 14.68% at March 31, 2013, versus 14.06% at December 31, 2012, while the Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 16.04% versus 15.43% at December 31, 2012. In addition, Peoples' tangible equity to tangible asset ratio was 8.35% and tangible book value per common share was $14.77 at March 31, 2013, versus 8.28% and $14.52 at December 31, 2012, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense, remains Peoples’ largest source of revenue. The amount of net interest income earned by Peoples each quarter is affected by various factors, including changes in market interest rates due to the Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policy, the level and degree of pricing competition for both loans and deposits in Peoples’ markets, and the amount and composition of Peoples’ earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest margin, which is calculated by dividing fully tax-equivalent (“FTE”) net interest income by average interest-earning assets, serves as an important measurement of the net revenue stream generated by the volume, mix and pricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. FTE net interest income is calculated by increasing interest income to convert tax-exempt income earned on obligations of states and political subdivisions to the pre-tax equivalent of taxable income using a 35% federal statutory tax rate. The following table details the calculation of FTE net interest income:

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2013 was 3% lower than the prior year first quarter and 8% lower than the linked quarter. The yield curve remained relatively flat and interest rates remained low during the first quarter of 2013, which placed greater downward pressure on Peoples' net interest income and net interest margin. The yield on investment securities declined further in the first quarter of 2013, as the impact of lower reinvestment rates was magnified by the continued high levels of principal prepayments within mortgage-backed securities. During the first quarter of 2013, the average monthly principal cash flow received by Peoples from its investment portfolio was approximately $9.6 million, compared to a monthly average of approximately $10.9 million during the same period in 2012. The cash flow received from the investment portfolio in the first quarter had an average yield of 2.73% and was reinvested in securities with a yield in the range of 1.75% to 2.25%. Contributing to the linked quarter decrease was $330,000 of additional interest income realized in the fourth quarter of 2012 for prepayment fees and interest recovered on nonaccrual loans.

Peoples' funding costs benefited from Peoples' strategy of replacing higher-cost funding with low-cost deposits. During the three months of 2013, non-interest-bearing deposit balances increased $23.8 million while retail certificates of deposit balances decreased $38.4 million. Peoples realized a decrease of 63 basis points in the cost of long-term borrowings compared to the prior year and 59 basis points compared to the linked quarter, due largely to the Trust Preferred Redemption during the fourth quarter of 2012. Peoples' expects to realize an annual interest expense savings of $1.1 million in 2013. Peoples remains diligent in minimizing the impact of margin compression on net interest income, with earning asset growth to be the key driver.

Detailed information regarding changes in the Consolidated Balance Sheets can be found under appropriate captions of the “FINANCIAL CONDITION” section of this discussion. Additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate risk and the potential impact of interest rate changes on Peoples' results of operations and financial condition can be found later in this discussion under the caption “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity”.

(Recovery of) Provision for Loan Losses

The recovery of, or provision for, loan losses recorded represents the amount needed to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on management’s formal quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio and procedural methodology that estimates the amount of probable credit losses. This process considers various factors that affect losses, such as changes in Peoples’ loan quality, historical loss experience and current economic conditions. The recovery of loan losses recorded during the three months of 2013 was driven mostly by a single $1.1 million recovery on a commercial real estate loan that had previously incurred charge-offs, and continued improving trends in various credit quality metrics, including historical loss trends and level of criticized loans.

Additional information regarding changes in the allowance for loan losses and loan credit quality can be found later in this discussion under the caption “Allowance for Loan Losses”.

The loss on debt extinguishment for the fourth quarter of 2012 was due to the Trust Preferred Redemption. The loss on debt extinguishment for the first quarter of 2012 was a result of the prepayment of $35.0 million of wholesale borrowings.

Non-Interest Income

Insurance income comprised the largest portion of first quarter 2013 non-interest income. The following table details Peoples’ insurance income:

Other fees and charges	34		52		59
Total insurance income	$	2,878	$	2,088	$	2,951

Peoples' property and casualty insurance commission income benefited from the Pikeville Acquisition. The bulk of performance-based commissions typically are recorded annually in the first quarter and are based on a combination of factors, such as loss experience of insurance policies sold, production volumes, and overall financial performance of the individual insurance carriers. The decrease in 2013 was largely attributable to a major storm that hit the region in June 2012.

Deposit account service charges continued to comprise a sizable portion of Peoples' non-interest income. The following table details Peoples’ deposit account service charges:

Other fees and charges	162		22		176
Total deposit account service charges	$	2,057	$	2,237	$	2,237

The amount of deposit account service charges, particularly fees for overdrafts and non-sufficient funds, is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. Peoples typically experiences a lower volume of overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees annually in the first quarter attributable to customers receiving income tax refunds, while volumes generally increase in the fourth quarter in connection with the holiday shopping season. The lower overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees were largely due to customer behavior.

Over the last several quarters, Peoples has continued to attract new managed funds, due in part to the addition of experienced financial advisors in previously underserved market areas. In addition, Peoples had added new business related to the retirement plans for which it manages the assets and provides services. The U.S. financial markets experienced a general increase in market value during the first quarter, which also contributed to the increase in managed assets. Peoples also added approximately $80 million in brokerage assets during the third quarter of 2012 and $20 million in the second quarter of 2012 due to acquisitions completed during the quarters.

First quarter 2013 mortgage banking income, while 31% higher than the last year's first quarter, was down 29% on a linked quarter basis. The fluctuations correspond with changes in refinancing activity, which are driven by mortgage interest rates available in the secondary market and customers' preference for long-term, fixed rate loans. In addition, Peoples retained a small percentage of the loans originated during the first three months of 2013. In the first quarter of 2013, Peoples sold approximately $32 million of loans to the secondary market compared to $43 million in the linked quarter and $23 million for the first quarter of 2012.

Non-Interest Expense

Salaries and employee benefit costs remain Peoples’ largest non-interest expense, accounting for more than half of total non-interest expense. The following table details Peoples’ salaries and employee benefit costs:



	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2013			December 31, 2012			March 31, 2012
(Dollars in thousands)
Base salaries and wages	$	5,632		$	5,389		$	5,148
Sales-based and incentive compensation	1,525			1,940			1,345
Employee benefits	982			936			1,233
Stock-based compensation	297			340			226
Deferred personnel costs	(494		)	(496		)	(435		)
Payroll taxes and other employment costs	775			606			728
Total salaries and employee benefit costs	$	8,717		$	8,715		$	8,245
Full-time equivalent employees:
Actual at end of period	517			494			499
Average during the period	509			498			506

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, base salaries and wages were higher than prior periods due to annual base salary adjustments, plus the increase in full-time equivalent employees. The increase in full-time equivalent employees is largely due to the Pikeville Acquisition. Sales-based and incentive compensation was impacted by a lower expense accrual

associated with corporate incentive plans, which are tied in part to Peoples' performance. The year-over-year increase was due largely to higher sales-based compensation corresponding with increased sales production within its mortgage banking, insurance and wealth management activities. Compared to the prior year, employee benefit costs have benefited from lower employee medical benefit plan expenses, which are tied to claims activity.

Peoples’ net occupancy and equipment expense was comprised of the following:



	Three Months Ended

(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012		March 31, 2012
Depreciation	$	767	$	715	$	496

Net rent expense	221		151		239
Property taxes, utilities and other costs	424		481		385
Total net occupancy and equipment expense	$	1,858	$	1,736	$	1,432

Depreciation expense increased over the prior year due to capital expenditures Peoples made during 2012, including the new Vienna, West Virginia office and the new signage resulting from the introduction of the new brand. The increase in repairs and maintenance costs was a result of the timing of maintenance costs, such as snow removal.

Professional fees were $287,000 lower compared to the linked quarter due to the non-recurrence of consulting costs incurred associated with acquisition opportunities and outsourced services during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Marketing expense, which includes advertising, donation and other public relations costs, decreased $742,000 compared to the linked quarter. The variance was the result of rebranding efforts and contributions made in the fourth quarter of 2012 to Peoples Bancorp Foundation Inc., a private foundation established by Peoples in 2004 to make charitable contributions to organizations within Peoples' primary market area. Future contributions to Peoples Bancorp Foundation Inc. will be evaluated on a quarterly basis, with the amount of any contribution determined based largely on the level of need within the communities Peoples serves.

Management continues to expect Peoples' total non-interest expenses to be approximately $16.5 million per quarter during 2013, without any new acquisition-related costs. Peoples' efficiency ratio, calculated as non-interest expense less amortization of other intangible assets divided by FTE net interest income plus non-interest income, was 71.61% for the first quarter of 2013, down slightly from the linked quarter of 72.99% but higher than the prior year of 65.47%. Management continues to target an efficiency ratio in the range of 68% to 70% for 2013.

Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, Peoples recorded income tax expense of $2.3 million, for an effective tax rate of 31.6%. This effective tax rate represents management's current estimate of the rate for the entire year. In comparison, Peoples recorded income tax expense of $3.1 million for the same period in 2012, for an effective tax rate of 31.6%.

Pre-Provision Net Revenue

Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR") has become a key financial measure used by federal bank regulatory agencies when assessing the capital adequacy of financial institutions. PPNR is defined as net interest income plus non-interest income minus non-interest expense and therefore excludes the provision for loan losses and all gains and losses included in earnings. As a result, PPNR represents the earnings capacity that can be either retained in order to build capital or used to absorb unexpected losses and preserve existing capital.

The following table provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the amounts reported in Peoples' consolidated financial statements for the periods presented:

(a) Presented on an annualized basis

PPNR decreased compared to the first quarter of 2012 due mostly to the increase of $1.2 million in total expenses over the prior year. The decrease in net interest income and non-interest income also contributed to the decrease.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At March 31, 2013, Peoples' interest-bearing deposits in other banks included $92.1 million in excess cash reserves being maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank, compared to $11.6 million at December 31, 2012. The higher balance at March 31, 2013 was due to the timing of the investment sales late in the first quarter of 2013. The amount of excess cash reserves maintained is dependent upon Peoples' daily liquidity position, which is driven primarily by changes in deposit and loan balances.

Through the first three months of 2013, Peoples' total cash and cash equivalents increased $62.9 million, as cash provided by Peoples' operating activities, investing and financing activities were $10.8 million, $33.8 million and $18.3 million, respectively. Investing activities contributed $33.8 million of cash as proceeds from sales and principal payments of investment securities exceeded the purchases of investment securities by $30.0 million. However, in early April, Peoples increased its investments by approximately $60 million, funded from cash and cash equivalents. Within Peoples' financing activities, deposit growth generated $36.6 million of cash which was used primarily to reduce borrowed funds by $17.1 million.

In comparison, Peoples' investing activities in the three months of 2012 exceeded the $8.4 million of cash generated by operating activities. Investing activities used $9.0 million of cash to fund the $5.9 million net loan growth, while purchases of investment securities exceeded the proceeds from sales and principal payments by $3.9 million. Within Peoples' financing activities, deposit growth generated $47.4 million of cash which was used primarily to reduce borrowed funds by $45.5 million and to repurchase the warrant held by the U.S Treasury.

Peoples has maintained the size of its investment portfolio over the last several quarters due to the lack of meaningful loan growth. The 5% decrease in the investment portfolio during the quarter was due to the timing of the sale of approximately $70 million of investment securities late in the quarter. As a result, the funds could not be reinvested until early in the second quarter 2013. In 2013 and throughout 2012, Peoples continued to designate additional securities as "held-to-maturity" at the time of their purchase, for which management has made the determination Peoples would hold these securities until maturity and concluded Peoples had the ability to do so.

Peoples' investment in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities largely consists of securities either guaranteed by the U.S. government or issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The remaining portion of Peoples' mortgage-backed securities consists of securities issued by other entities, including other financial institutions, which are not guaranteed by the U.S. government. The amount of these “non-agency” securities included in the residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities totals above was as follows:

Management continues to reinvest the principal runoff from the non-agency securities into U.S agency investments, which accounted for the decline experienced in the first quarter of 2013 and prior quarters. At March 31, 2013, Peoples' non-agency portfolio consisted entirely of first lien residential and commercial mortgages, with nearly all of the underlying loans

in these securities originated prior to 2004 and possessing fixed interest rates. Management continues to monitor the non-agency portfolio closely for leading indicators of increasing stress and will continue to be proactive in taking actions to mitigate such risk when necessary.

The decrease in construction loans was due to a loan converting to a permanent financing, resulting in the loan being reclassified to a commercial real estate, other loan because the construction period ended. The majority of Peoples' residential mortgage originations continues to be sold to the secondary market, due to customers' preference for long-term, fixed-rate loans. During the first quarter of 2013, Peoples did retain a larger percentage of residential mortgage loans originated than in prior quarters which caused the increase in residential real estate loans over the prior periods. Consumer loan balances, which consist mostly of loans to finance automobile purchases, continued to increase in 2013 due largely to Peoples placing greater emphasis on its consumer lending activity in recent quarters.

Loan Concentration

Peoples categorizes its commercial loans according to standard industry classifications and monitors for concentrations in a single industry or multiple industries that could be impacted by changes in economic conditions in a similar manner. Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to be spread over a diverse range of businesses from all sectors of the economy, with no single industry comprising over 10% of Peoples' total loan portfolio.

Loans secured by commercial real estate, including commercial construction loans, continue to comprise the largest portion of Peoples' loan portfolio.

Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to focus on lending opportunities inside its primary and secondary market areas within Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. In all other states, the aggregate outstanding balances of commercial loans in each state were less than $4.0 million at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The amount of the allowance for loan losses at the end of each period represents management's estimate of expected losses from existing loans based upon its formal quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio. While this process involves allocations being made to specific loans and pools of loans, the entire allowance is available for all losses incurred within the loan portfolio. The following details management's allocation of the allowance for loan losses:



(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2013			December 31, 2012			September 30, 2012			June 30, 2012			March 31, 2012

As a percentage of total loans	1.78		%	1.81		%	1.88		%	2.09		%	2.25		%

The significant allocations to commercial loans reflect the higher credit risk associated with this type of lending and the size of this loan category in relationship to the entire loan portfolio. In the first quarter of 2013, the allowance for loan losses continued to be reduced as a result of sustained improvement in several credit quality metrics. Specifically, Peoples has experienced a steady decrease in criticized loans, which are those classified as watch, substandard or doubtful, due to principal paydowns and improvements in borrowers' financial conditions. Total criticized loans decreased $15.2 million or 17% since year-end 2012, reflecting $6.7 million in principal paydowns. Peoples upgraded $6.1 million in loans during 2013 based upon the financial condition of the borrowers. Net charge-offs also remained at or below Peoples' long-term historical rate for the eighth consecutive quarter. Both of these factors had a direct impact on the estimated loss rates used to determine the appropriate allocations for commercial loans.

The allowance allocated to the residential real estate and consumer loan categories is based upon Peoples' allowance methodology for homogeneous pools of loans. The fluctuations in these allocations have been directionally consistent with the changes in loan quality, loss experience and loan balances in these categories.

The decrease in nonperforming assets during the first quarter of 2013 was due mostly to two commercial real estate loans, with one borrower, being paid-off. The relationship had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1.4 million at December 31, 2012. The reduction contributed to the decrease in total criticized loans, which were down 17% at March 31, 2013 versus year-end 2012.

The majority of Peoples' nonaccrual commercial real estate loans continues to consist of non-owner occupied commercial properties and real estate development projects. In general, management believes repayment of these loans is dependent on the sale of the underlying collateral. As such, the carrying values of these loans are ultimately supported by management's estimate of the net proceeds Peoples would receive upon the sale of the collateral. These estimates are based in part on market values provided by independent, licensed or certified appraisers periodically, but no less frequently than annually. Given the sustained weakness in commercial real estate values, management continues to monitor changes in real estate values from quarter-to-quarter and updates its estimates as needed based on observable changes in market prices and/or updated appraisals for similar properties.

During the first quarter of 2013, Peoples maintained its deposit strategy of growing low-cost core deposits, such as checking and savings accounts, and reducing its reliance on higher-cost, non-core deposits, such as certificates of deposit (“CDs”) and brokered deposits. This strategy has included more selective pricing of long-term CDs, governmental deposits and similar non-core deposits, as well as non-renewal of maturing brokered deposits. These actions accounted for much of the changes in deposit balances over the last several quarters.

First quarter 2013 non-interest-bearing deposit growth included a $12.1 million increase in commercial deposit balances. The higher balances reflect Peoples' continued focus on obtaining the deposit relationships of its commercial clients. Retail deposit balances also benefited from seasonal increases in governmental deposits and consumer deposit balances, both savings and non-interest-bearing, which typically occur annually during the first quarter.

Borrowed Funds

The following table details Peoples’ short-term and long-term borrowings:

Any short-term FHLB advances would consist of overnight borrowings by Peoples being maintained in connection with the management of Peoples' daily liquidity position; however, there were none at March 31, 2013.

As disclosed in Peoples' 2012 Form 10-K, Peoples entered into a loan agreement on December 18, 2012, and is subject to certain covenants. At March 31, 2013, Peoples was in compliance with the applicable material covenants imposed by this agreement.

Capital/Stockholders’ Equity

During the first quarter of 2013, Peoples' total stockholders' equity benefited from earnings exceeding dividends declared. At March 31, 2013, capital levels for both Peoples and Peoples Bank remained substantially higher than the minimum amounts needed to be considered "well capitalized" institutions under banking regulations. These higher capital levels reflect Peoples' desire to maintain strong capital positions to provide greater flexibility to grow the company.

The following table details Peoples' actual risk-based capital levels and corresponding ratios:



(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2013			December 31, 2012			September 30, 2012			June 30, 2012			March 31, 2012

Leverage ratio	8.90		%	8.83		%	10.13		%	10.18		%	10.05		%

In addition to traditional capital measurements, management uses tangible capital measures to evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' stockholders' equity. Such ratios represent non-GAAP financial information since their calculation removes the impact of intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management believes this information is useful to investors since it facilitates the comparison of Peoples' operating performance, financial condition and trends to peers, especially those without a similar level of intangible assets to that of Peoples. Further, intangible assets generally are difficult to convert into cash, especially during a financial crisis, and could decrease substantially in value should there be deterioration in the overall franchise value. As a result, tangible equity represents a conservative measure of the capacity for a company to incur losses but remain solvent.

The following table reconciles the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures to amounts reported in Peoples' Consolidated Financial Statements:

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity

While Peoples is exposed to various business risks, the risks relating to interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are major risks that can materially impact future results of operations and financial condition due to their complexity and dynamic nature. The objective of Peoples' asset/liability management (“ALM”) function is to measure and manage these risks in order to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity and safety. This objective requires Peoples to focus on interest rate risk exposure and adequate liquidity through its management of the mix of assets and liabilities, their related cash flows and the rates earned and paid on those assets and liabilities. Ultimately, the ALM function is intended to guide management in the acquisition and disposition of earning assets and selection of appropriate funding sources.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk (“IRR”) is one of the most significant risks arising in the normal course of business of financial services companies like Peoples. IRR is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes that can impact both the earnings stream as well as market values of financial assets and liabilities. Peoples' exposure to IRR is due primarily to differences in the maturity or repricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, other factors, such as prepayments of loans and investment securities or early withdrawal of deposits, can expose Peoples to IRR and increase interest costs or reduce revenue streams.

Peoples has assigned overall management of IRR to its Asset-Liability Committee (the “ALCO”), which has established an IRR management policy that sets minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and managing the level and amount of IRR. The methods used by the ALCO to assess IRR remain unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2012 Form 10-K.

The following table shows the estimated changes in net interest income and the economic value of equity based upon a standard, parallel shock analysis (dollars in thousands):



Increase in Interest Rate	Estimated Increase in Net Interest Income								Estimated (Decrease) Increase in Economic Value of Equity
(in Basis Points)	March 31, 2013				December 31, 2012				March 31, 2013					December 31, 2012
300	$	9,651	19.9	%	$	9,688	19.6	%	$	(29,943	)	(12.1	)%	$	(20,348	)	(8.5	)%
200	8,171		16.9	%	8,627		17.5	%	(14,511		)	(5.9	)%	(3,888		)	(1.6	)%
100	5,545		11.5	%	6,311		12.8	%	1,343			0.5	%	7,344			3.1	%

At March 31, 2013, Peoples' Consolidated Balance Sheets remained positioned for a rising interest rate environment, as illustrated by the potential increase in net interest income shown in the above table. The benefit of the actions taken late in the first quarter of 2013 within the investment portfolio to reduce interest rate exposure were not reflected in the analysis above because a majority of the funds were not reinvested until early in the second quarter of 2013. While parallel interest rate shock scenarios are useful in assessing the level of IRR inherent in Peoples' Consolidated Balance Sheets, interest rates typically move in a non-parallel manner, with differences in the timing, direction and magnitude of changes in short-term and long-term interest rates. Thus, any benefit that could occur as a result of the Federal Reserve Board increasing short-term interest rates in future quarters could be offset by an inverse movement in long-term interest rates.

Liquidity

In addition to IRR management, another major objective of the ALCO is to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity. The methods used by the ALCO to monitor and evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' liquidity position remain unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2012 Form 10-K.

At March 31, 2013, Peoples had liquid assets of $287.5 million, which represented 13.8% of total assets and unfunded commitments. This amount exceeded the minimal level of $41.7 million, or 2% of total loans and unfunded commitments, currently required under Peoples' liquidity policy. Peoples also had an additional $44.4 million of unpledged securities not included in the measurement of liquid assets.

Management believes the current balance of cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from the investment portfolio, along with the availability of other funding sources, will allow Peoples to meet anticipated cash obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments.

Table of Contents

Off-Balance Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations

Peoples routinely engages in activities that involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Consolidated Financial Statements. These activities are part of Peoples' normal course of business and include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, interest rate contracts and commitments to make additional capital contributions in low-income housing tax credit investments. Traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments continue to represent the most significant off-balance sheet exposure.

The following table details the total contractual amount of loan commitments and standby letters of credit:



(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012		September 30, 2012		June 30, 2012		March 31, 2012
Home equity lines of credit	$	44,124	$	43,818	$	43,719	$	42,043	$	40,499
Unadvanced construction loans	19,092		11,839		14,261		17,578		18,118
Other loan commitments	127,665		113,868		142,269		112,604		112,436
Loan commitments	190,881		169,525		200,249		172,225		171,053

Standby letters of credit	$	34,771	$	35,373	$	36,218	$	40,330	$	39,862

Management does not anticipate Peoples’ current off-balance sheet activities will have a material impact on its future results of operations and financial condition based on historical experience and recent trends.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Peoples’ management, with the participation of Peoples’ President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2013. Based upon that evaluation, Peoples’ President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that:

(a)

information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Peoples’ management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;


(b)	information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and


(c)	Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in Peoples’ internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Peoples’ fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Peoples’ internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of their respective businesses or operations, Peoples or one of its subsidiaries may be named as a plaintiff, a defendant, or a party to a legal proceeding or any of their respective properties may be subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and various actual and potential claims. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, Peoples cannot state what the eventual outcome of any such matters will be; however, based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Peoples.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from those risk factors previously disclosed in “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Peoples’ 2012 Form 10-K. Those risk factors are not the only risks Peoples faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect Peoples’ business, financial condition and/or operating results.
