Insights

Lake Shore Bancorp posted strong Q2 results with 72% profit growth and completed a $49.5M stock offering to support future growth.

Lake Shore Bancorp's Q2 2025 results demonstrate significant financial improvement with $1.9 million in net income ($0.34 per diluted share), representing a 72% increase compared to Q2 2024. The bank's performance was driven by three key factors: strategic balance sheet management, optimized operating expenses, and reduced wholesale funding dependence.

The company's net interest income increased by $916,000 (17.6%) year-over-year to $6.1 million, while net interest margin expanded to 3.84% from 3.14% in the same period last year - a substantial 70 basis point improvement. This margin expansion occurred despite ongoing deposit cost pressures, showcasing effective interest rate management.

A notable achievement was the bank's recent conversion from mutual to stock form, completing a stock offering that raised $49.5 million in gross proceeds through the sale of 4,950,460 shares at $10.00 each. This capital infusion significantly strengthens Lake Shore's ability to fund future growth initiatives.

On the credit quality front, non-performing assets decreased to just 0.24% of total assets compared to 0.55% at year-end 2024, reflecting a 53.3% reduction in problem assets. The bank maintains strong capital ratios with a Tier 1 Leverage ratio of 14.37% and Total Risk-Based Capital ratio of 18.94%, both well above regulatory requirements.

The bank has strategically reduced its reliance on wholesale funding by repaying $8.3 million of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings during the first half of 2025, with only $2.0 million remaining outstanding. This shift toward core deposit funding improves funding stability and potentially enhances margins.

Management's focus on expense optimization yielded results with non-interest expenses decreasing by 5.6% year-over-year to $4.6 million, primarily through reduced FDIC insurance costs and lower professional services expenses. Combined with the 8.4% increase in non-interest income, these improvements demonstrate effective execution of the bank's strategic initiatives.

Interest income for the second quarter of 2025 was $9.1 million, an increase of $740,000, or 8.8%, compared to $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of $353,000, or 4.0%, compared to $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2024.

The increase in interest income from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in interest earned on loans of $717,000, or 9.2%, with an increase in the average yield on loans of 44 basis points. The increase in the average yield on loans was positively impacted by the recognition of $461,000 of interest income associated with the payoff of three loans on nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2025. Interest earned on securities decreased by $13,000, or 3.4%, due to a $1.6 million decrease in the average balance of securities during the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the prior quarter.

The increase in interest income from the prior year quarter was primarily due to an increase in interest earned on loans of $776,000, or 10.1%, with an increase in the average yield on loans of 54 basis points. The increase in the average yield on loans was positively impacted by the recognition of $461,000 of interest income associated with the payoff of three loans on nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2025. The increase was partially offset by a $377,000, or 58.3% decrease in interest earned on interest-earning deposits resulting primarily from a decrease in the average balance of interest earning deposits of $25.5 million, or 48.4%. The decrease in the average balance of interest earning deposits from the prior year was primarily due to the repayment of FHLBNY borrowings during the period. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, there was a $46,000 decrease in interest earned on securities due to decreases in the average balance and average yield of securities of $2.8 million, or 4.7%, and 19 basis points, respectively.

Interest income for the first half of 2025 was $17.5 million, an increase of $111,000, or 0.6%, compared to $17.4 million, for the first half of 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the interest earned on loans of $943,000, or 6.2%, with a 38 basis points increase in the average yield on loans. This was partially offset by a $742,000, or 59.6% decrease in interest earned on interest earning deposits resulting from a $23.0 million, or 47.5% decrease in the average balance of interest-earning deposits and a 119 basis points decrease in the average yield of interest earning deposits.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $3.0 million, an increase of $83,000, or 2.9%, from $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, and a decrease of $563,000, or 15.9%, from $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2024.

The increase in interest expense when compared to the previous quarter was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $13.1 million, or 2.7% which was mostly driven by an increase in the average balance of time deposits of $8.3 million, or 4.0%. During the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the previous quarter, interest expense on deposits increased by $106,000, or 3.7%, due to a $15.5 million, or 3.2% increase in the average balance of deposits and a 1 basis point increase in the average interest rate paid on deposit accounts. The average interest rate paid on deposit accounts was impacted by a 22 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid on money market accounts, partially offset by an 11 basis points decrease in the average interest rate paid on time deposits. Average interest-bearing deposit balances were $493.3 million, a 3.2% increase during the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the previous quarter due to an increase in the average balance of all deposit categories. Interest expense on borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $23,000 primarily due to a $2.4 million, or 38.0%, decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities as the result of the repayment of $2.0 million of our FHLBNY borrowings during the second quarter of 2025.

The decrease in interest expense when compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to a 32 basis points decrease in average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and a $24.7 million, or 4.7%, decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. During the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, interest expense on deposits decreased by $423,000, or 12.5%, due to a 33 basis points decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposit accounts and a $3.2 million, or 0.6%, decrease in the average balance of deposits. The decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposit accounts was primarily due to the decrease in market interest rates, time deposit repricing, and a marginal shift in deposit composition. Average interest-bearing deposit balances decreased 0.6% during the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the second quarter of 2024 due to a decrease in all deposit categories except money market accounts. During the second quarter of 2025, interest expense on borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $140,000, or 79.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to a $21.4 million, or 84.7%, decrease in average borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities outstanding due to the repayment of $25.0 million of FHLBNY borrowings during 2024 and $8.3 million during the first half of 2025.

Interest expense for the first half of 2025 was $5.9 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 16.2%, from $7.0 million for the first half of 2024. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a 29 basis points decrease in average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $32.2 million, or 6.2%. During the first half of 2025, there was a $825,000 decrease in interest expense on total deposit accounts when compared to the first half of 2024 due to a 29 basis points decrease in the average interest rate paid on total deposits along with a decrease in average total deposit balance of $9.9 million, or 2.0%. The decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposit accounts was primarily due to the decrease in market interest rates, time deposit repricing, and a marginal shift in deposit composition. Interest expense on borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities also decreased $312,000, or 76.3%, during the first half of 2025 when compared to the first half of 2024, primarily due to a $22.4 million, or 81.6%, decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities outstanding as we reduced our FHLBNY borrowings.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $800,000 for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $76,000, or 10.5%, as compared to $724,000 for the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of $62,000, or 8.4%, as compared to $738,000 for the second quarter of 2024. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $36,000 increase in service charges and fees, a $19,000 increase in unrealized gain on equity securities, and a $14,000 increase in debit card fees during the second quarter of 2025. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to a $65,000 increase in unrealized gain on equity securities and a $23,000 increase in earnings on annuity assets in connection with the purchase of annuities during the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by a $14,000 decrease in service charges and fees.

Non-interest income was $1.5 million for the first half of 2025, an increase of $79,000, or 5.5%, as compared to the first half of 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $100,000 increase in unrealized gain on equity securities and a $46,000 increase in earnings on annuity assets in connection with the purchase of annuities during the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by a $42,000 decrease in service charges and fees and a $17,000 decrease in debit card fees.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $253,000, or 5.2%, as compared to $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2025, and a decrease of $272,000, or 5.6%, as compared to $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to a decrease in professional services expense of $63,000, or 20.1%, along with decreases in salaries and employee benefits of $61,000, or 2.1%, and occupancy and equipment of $61,000, or 9.0%. The decrease from the second quarter of 2024 was primarily related to a decrease in FDIC insurance of $210,000, or 73.9%, and a decrease in professional services expense of $146,000, or 36.8%, partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $198,000, or 7.5%.

Non-interest expense was $9.5 million for the first half of 2025, a decrease of $389,000, or 3.9%, as compared to $9.9 million for the first half of 2024. The decrease related primarily to a decline in FDIC insurance expense of $417,000, or 74.1%, due to a decrease in premium assessments related to remediating regulatory matters. As a result of management's efforts to decrease the use of external consultants and optimize operating expenses, professional services decreased by $159,000, or 22.0% and occupancy and equipment expenses decreased by $93,000, or 6.7%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $355,000, or 6.6%, and a $17,000, or 1.9%, increase in data processing primarily due to an increase in costs related to core system maintenance when compared to the prior year period.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $378,000 for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $172,000, or 83.5%, as compared to $206,000 for the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of $162,000, or 75.0%, as compared to $216,000 for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in income tax expense from the prior quarter and prior year quarter was primarily related to the increase in pre-tax income earned during the current quarter, and an increase in the effective tax rate during the second quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate was 16.5% for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to 16.3% for the first quarter of 2025 and 16.2% for the second quarter of 2024.

Income tax expense was $585,000 for the first half of 2025, an increase of $186,000, or 46.6%, as compared to $399,000 for the first half of 2024. The increase in income tax expense from the first half of 2024 was primarily related to the increase in pre-tax income earned during the first half of 2025 and an increase in the effective tax rate during the first half of 2025. The effective tax rate was 16.4% for the first half of 2025 and 15.8% for the first half of 2024.

Credit Quality

The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was $5.2 million as of June 30, 2025 as compared to $5.1 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $323,000 as of June 30, 2025 as compared to $314,000 as of December 31, 2024. Non-performing assets as a percent of total assets decreased to 0.24% at June 30, 2025 as compared to 0.55% at December 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in non-performing assets of $2.0 million, or 53.3%. Contributing to this decrease was one commercial relationship representing two loans with a total amortized cost of $1.2 million being sold at foreclosure and one nonaccrual home equity loan with an amortized cost of $545,000 being paid off in full during the second quarter of 2025. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans as a percent of loans at amortized cost was 0.93% at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Company recorded no provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2025 and recorded a provision for credit losses of $48,000 for the first half of 2025. Of this amount, $39,000 related to the loan portfolio and $9,000 related to the reserve for unfunded commitments. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans and unfunded commitments and the corresponding provision for credit losses recognized during the first half of 2025 was the result of an increase in the calculation of expected quantitative losses inclusive of forecasted economic trends, primarily related to the residential mortgage loan pool, partially offset by a decrease in the calculation of expected losses for the commercial loan pool.

Total deposits at June 30, 2025 were $627.5 million, an increase of $54.5 million, or 9.5%, compared to $573.0 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in deposits was primarily due to the collection of $43.7 million of funds collected and held on deposit in a segregated account in connection with the Company's stock offering in the second quarter of 2025.
