Results of Operations

Net income decreased $17 thousand, or 0.7%, and was $2.5 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 as lower gains from the sale of other real estate owned and higher provisions for credit loss offset higher net interest income and lower income tax expense. Net income increased $2.0 million, or 25.4%, to $9.8 million during the year ended September 30, 2025 compared with $7.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2024 from higher net interest income, partially offset by higher provisions for credit loss, other expenses and income tax expense.

Net interest and dividend income increased $1.4 million, or 19.6%, to $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The Company's net interest margin increased by 39 basis points to 3.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 3.08% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Between these periods the Company grew the average balance of its interest-earning assets by $54.6 million, or 6.0%, to $958.8 million, while the yield on such assets increased 31 basis points to 5.91% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 5.60% for the prior year period. The increase in yield on the Company's assets was attributable to higher interest income on loan originations and on adjustable-rate commercial term loans repricing higher.

Lower short-term market interest rates were primarily responsible for the lower cost of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities. 

During the year ended September 30, 2025, net interest and dividend income increased $3.9 million, or 14.0%, to $31.9 million compared with $28.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2024.

Interest and dividend income increased $6.1 million, or 12.6%, to $54.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2025 from $48.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2024. The increase in yield on the Company's assets was attributable to higher interest income on loan originations and on adjustable-rate commercial term loans repricing higher.

Interest expense increased $2.2 million, or 10.7%, to $22.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2025 from $20.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2024. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $91.0 million, or 13.8%, between the two periods while the cost of such liabilities decreased eight basis points to 3.05% for the year ended September 30, 2025 compared with 3.13% for the prior year. Lower short-term market interest rates were also responsible for the lower cost of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities for the year-over-year comparison. 

The Company recorded $229 thousand in credit loss provisions during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with a net recovery of $351 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Growth in commercial real estate loans and construction loan commitments accounted for the provisions for credit loss during the three months ended September 30, 2025. There were $38 thousand in loan recoveries and no charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $2 thousand in loan recoveries and no loan charge-offs for the prior year period.

The Company recorded $402 thousand in credit loss provisions during the year ended September 30, 2025 compared with $90 thousand for the year ended September 30, 2024. Growth in the Company's loan portfolio accounted for the provisions for credit loss during the year ended September 30, 2025. There were $149 thousand in loan recoveries and no charge-offs for the year ended September 30, 2025 compared with $69 thousand in loan recoveries and no loan charge-offs for the prior year period.

Non-interest income decreased $1.1 million, or 56.8%, to $853 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $2.0 million for the prior year period. The Company did not record any gains on the sale of other real estate owned during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Partially offsetting this decrease were higher interest rate swap fees and loan service charges, which increased $69 thousand and $37 thousand, respectively, between periods.

Non-interest income increased $100 thousand, or 2.8%, to $3.7 million during the year ended September 30, 2025 compared with $3.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2024. Service charges increased $304 thousand, or 26.8%, to $1.4 million during the year ended September 30, 2025 compared with $1.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2024 from higher commercial loan prepayment fees, loans fees earned and late charges. Income on bank owned life insurance increased $240 thousand, or 55.4% to $673 thousand during the year ended September 30, 2025 compared with $433 thousand for the year ended September 30, 2024 from the restructure of $8.0 million in policies beginning in the 2024 fiscal year.

Non-interest expenses increased $140 thousand, or 2.7%, to $5.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to higher compensation expenses. Compensation and benefit expense increased $231 thousand, or 7.5%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $3.1 million for the prior year period from annual merit increases, higher medical insurance costs and higher incentive plan accruals. Partially offsetting this increase were lower occupancy, marketing and other expenses, which declined $34 thousand, $32 thousand and $31 thousand, respectively, primarily related to the Company's relocation of its Bridgewater branch office to Martinsville during the December 2024 quarter. Professional fees also declined $37 thousand, or 19.6% due to lower collection costs for non-performing loans.

During the year ended September 30, 2025, non-interest expenses increased $1.0 million, or 4.9%, to $21.4 million from $20.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2024 due primarily to higher compensation and benefit expenses, which increased $893 thousand, or 7.6%, due to annual merit increases, higher medical insurance costs and higher incentive plan accruals. In addition, occupancy expenses increased $188 thousand, or 5.7%, to $3.5 million, due to lease termination expenses related to the closure of the Bank's Bridgewater office during the year. Partially offsetting these increases were lower professional and data processing expenses, which declined $89 thousand and $71 thousand, respectively, due to lower collection costs for non-performing loans and one-time credits used to offset core processing fees.

Income tax expense decreased $446 thousand, or 28.0%, to $1.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 from $1.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was attributable to lower pre-tax income, which decreased $463 thousand, or 11.2%, to $3.7 million as well as a $456 thousand expense for taxable gains on surrendered bank-owned life insurance policies during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Income tax expense increased $732 thousand, or 22.1%, to $4.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2025 from $3.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2024.
