Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Sharp earnings decline: Q1 2026 net income fell to $244,000 from $1.3 million a year earlier, with EPS dropping from $1.75 to $0.33, driven mainly by higher non-interest expenses and merger-related costs.

Insights

Quarterly profit dropped sharply as merger and operating costs rose, despite healthier core banking spreads.

Ballston Spa Bancorp generated higher core net interest income in Q1 2026, with net interest income up to $6.8 million and net interest margin improving to 3.12%. Loan balances averaged over $802 million, supporting interest income of $10.9 million.

Earnings, however, were compressed by rising expenses. Non-interest expense climbed to $7.1 million, including $749,000 of merger costs, plus higher compensation and occupancy spending. Net income fell to $244,000 versus $1.3 million a year earlier, and EPS declined to $0.33.

On the balance sheet, deposits increased to $807.7 million while Federal Home Loan Bank advances dropped from $74.0 million to $20.0 million, helped by issuing $26.0 million of subordinated notes at a fixed 7.375% rate to 2031. Capital ratios at the bank level stayed well above “well capitalized” thresholds, but future performance will hinge on realizing merger synergies and managing the higher interest cost of new subordinated debt.

Net interest margin 3.12% Q1 2026 average balances and yields table
allowance for credit losses financial
"The allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) represents management’s best estimate"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
nonaccrual loans financial
"The following tables present the amortized cost in nonaccrual and loans past due"
Nonaccrual loans are loans a lender has stopped counting toward interest income because the borrower is overdue or unlikely to pay; the lender only records cash payments received and may set aside extra funds to cover potential losses. For investors, a rising number or amount of nonaccrual loans signals weaker credit quality, lower future interest revenue and larger potential write-downs — similar to pausing expected subscription income when many customers stop paying.
Tier 1 capital financial
"Tier 1 capital: Bank $96,782 10.65% capital adequacy table"
Tier 1 capital is a bank’s core financial cushion—mainly common stock, retained earnings and certain reserves—that can absorb losses while the bank keeps operating. Investors care because it signals a lender’s ability to survive stress, meet regulatory requirements and continue lending or paying dividends; think of it as the engine’s safety margin that keeps a car running through bumps in the road.
Secured Overnight Financing Rate financial
"interest rate will reset quarterly to the then-current three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate"
A secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) is a daily benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Think of it as the market price to “rent” cash for a day with a very safe pledge, similar to paying a short-term rental fee for money backed by government bonds. Investors track SOFR because it underpins pricing for loans, bonds and derivatives, so movements change borrowing costs, interest income and the valuation of interest-rate–linked positions.
merger of equals financial
"completed its previously announced strategic merger of equals with NBC Bancorp, Inc."
A merger of equals is when two companies of similar size and value combine into a single business with shared ownership and leadership, rather than one company buying the other. Investors care because it reshuffles who owns and controls the combined company, aims to cut duplicate costs and strengthen market position, but also brings integration risks that can affect future profits and each company’s stock value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of Ballston Spa Bancorp, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reporting practices followed by the banking industry. A summary of the more significant policies is described below.

Organization: The Company is a financial holding company. The Parent Company’s banking subsidiary, Ballston Spa National Bank (the “Bank”), is a community-based commercial bank and provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary, brokerage and other financial services to corporate, municipal, and individual customers through its thirteen branch offices.

Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company and the Bank and its subsidiary, BSNB Real Estate Company, Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes. Amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified whenever necessary to conform with the current year’s presentation.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting: The Company has a single segment for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s reportable segment is determined by the Chief Financial Officer, who is designated as the chief operating decision maker, based upon information provided about the Company’s products and services offered, primarily banking operations. The segment is also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision maker, who uses this information to review performance of various components, such as branches and wealth management component which are then aggregated. The chief operating decision maker will evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s business components such as by evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the Company’s segment and in the determination of allocating resources. The chief operating decision maker uses revenue streams to evaluate product pricing and significant expenses to assess performance and evaluate return on assets. The chief operating decision maker uses consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors. The benchmarking analysis coupled with monitoring of budget to actual results are used to assess performance and to establish compensation. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation. Interest expense, provision for credit losses, and salaries and employee benefits provide the significant expense in the banking operation. All of the Company’s operations are domestic.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

On November 12, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. The update expands the population of purchased loans subject to the gross-up approach under Topic 326. Under the new guidance, purchased seasoned loans (excluding credit card receivables) will be accounted for using the gross-up approach. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires companies to disclose additional information about certain expenses. This guidance is effective for companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this standard beginning January 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.

Management has assessed the securities available for sale that were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and determined that the decline in fair value is driven by changes in market interest rates and credit spreads, not changes in credit quality. There were no defaults on principal or interest payments, and no interest payments were deferred. Based on management's analysis of each individual security, the issues appear to have the ability to meet debt service requirements over the life of the security. The Company had no allowance for credit losses on securities available for sale at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.  At March 31, 2026 the Company had no intent to sell securities in an unrealized loss position and has the ability to hold them until recovery.

NOTE 3 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued)

The allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) represents management’s best estimate of future lifetime expected losses on its held for investment loan portfolio. The Company calculates its ACL by estimating expected credit losses on a collective basis for loans that share similar risk characteristics. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated for credit losses on an individual basis. The increase in ACL for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily consisted of an increase in ACL for collectively evaluated loans.

The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio class for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 89 days and still accruing interest include both smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for credit losses and loans that are individually evaluated.  At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no allowance for credit losses allocated to nonaccrual loans. At March 31, 2026, collateral-dependent loans consisted of $309 thousand of residential real estate loans and $328 thousand of commercial real estate loans. At December 31, 2025, collateral-dependent loans consisted of $331 thousand of residential real estate loans and $328 thousand of commercial real estate loans. Residential real estate loans were secured by residential real estate properties, commercial real estate loans were secured by commercial real estate properties, and commercial and industrial loans were secured by other assets.

Loan Modification Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged off against the allowance for credit losses.

In some cases, the Company provides multiple types of concessions on one loan. Typically, one type of concession, such as term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.

There were no loans modified to borrower experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

NOTE 3 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued)

The Bank analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk using standard industry classifications. Commercial loans not classified are considered to be pass-rated loans. The Bank considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for credit losses. For residential real estate, HELOC and consumer loans, the Bank evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan and by payment activity. The following table presents the risk category of loans and current period gross charge-offs as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 by loan segment and vintage year (in thousands):

NOTE 3 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued)

The Bank retains the servicing rights on certain mortgage loans sold. Total loans serviced by the Company for unrelated third parties were approximately $70.0 million and $65.4 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 the unamortized balance of mortgage servicing rights on loans sold with servicing retained was approximately $126 thousand and $150 thousand, respectively. The estimated fair value of these mortgage servicing rights was in excess of their carrying value at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and therefore no impairment reserve was necessary. Fees earned for servicing loans totaled $45 thousand and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into loan transactions with certain of its directors and executive officers (“Related Parties”). All loans to Related Parties were made at substantially the same terms and conditions at the time of origination as other originated loans to borrowers that were not affiliated with the Company. The aggregate amount outstanding of such loans totaled $9.3 million at March 31, 2026, and $6.8 million at December 31, 2025.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Securities: The fair values of securities available for sale is determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using loss severity inputs based upon expected cash flows from the underlying assets.

Derivatives: The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). Our derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third party pricing services.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE (Continued)

Individually Evaluated Loans: The fair value of individually evaluated loans with specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Because the Bank has a small amount of individually evaluated loans measured at fair value, the impact of unobservable inputs on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements is not material.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term investments approximate fair values.

FHLB and FRB Stock: It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB and FRB stock due to restrictions placed on their transferability.

Loans: The fair value of portfolio loans, net of allowance for credit losses is determined using an exit price methodology. The exit price methodology continues to be based on a discounted cash flow analysis, in which projected cash flows are based on contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayments for certain loan types and the use of a discount rate based on expected relative risk of the cash flows.

The discount rate selected considers loan type, maturity date, a liquidity premium, cost to service, and cost of capital, which is a Level 3 for fair value estimate.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount). Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE (Continued)

FHLB Borrowings: The fair values of the Company’s FHLB borrowings with a maturity greater than one year are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of FHLB borrowing with a maturity less than one year approximate their carrying value.

Junior Subordinated Debentures: The fair value is based on current rates for similar financing, and approximates book value.

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable: The fair values of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments: Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

NOTE 5 – DEPOSITS

Time deposits that meet or exceed the FDIC Insurance limit of $250,000 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $36.5 million and $28.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 the Company had brokered CD deposits totaling $60.4 million at each period end.

NOTE 6 – BORROWINGS

The Bank has a borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) of up to 30% of total assets. The Bank may utilize this capacity for either short or long-term borrowings. At March 31, 2026, this equated to a borrowing capacity of $272.9 million. All borrowings with the FHLB are collateralized by the Bank’s holdings of FHLB stock, as well as a blanket lien on all residential and certain qualified commercial real estate loans not otherwise pledged.

Short-Term FHLB Borrowings: The short-term borrowing program is based upon either an overnight or thirty-day borrowing period with interest based generally upon a spread above the current Federal funds rate. In addition, short-term borrowings with an original maturity of less than one year are classified in this category. The rates on these borrowings can be either fixed or floating. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, short-term FHLB borrowings amounted to $0.0 million and $54.0 million, respectively. During the periods then ended, short-term borrowings averaged $16.9 million and $47.6 million with a weighted average rate of 3.77% and 4.51%, respectively.

Municipal Letter of Credit: The Company utilizes a Municipal Letter of Credit (“MULOC”) from FHLB to collateralize certain municipal deposits at the Company. The balance of this MULOC at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $49.7 million and $17.9 million, respectively.

NOTE 6 – BORROWINGS (Continued)

Long-Term FHLB Borrowings: Long-term borrowings at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 amounted to $20.0 million at each period end. Of the $20 million of borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2026, $10 million with a rate of 4.13% matures in 2026, and $10 million with a rate of 4.01% matures in 2027.

NOTE 7 – JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

The Company issued $7.75 million in subordinated debt during 2018. The proceeds were contributed to the Bank as additional paid in capital, and qualifies as Tier 1 Capital at the Bank Level. The subordinated debt may be included in Tier II Capital (with certain limitations applicable) at the parent Company under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The subordinated notes have a fixed interest rate of 5.75%, payable quarterly to the note holders. The subordinated debt matures on September 10, 2028. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $1.20 million was owned by certain directors of the Company.

The Company also issued $26 million in subordinated notes on March 25, 2026. The subordinated notes issued mature on April 1, 2036 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 7.375%, payable quarterly in arrears, up to but excluding April 1, 2031. From and including April 1, 2031 to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum initially equal to the then-current three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 378 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company is entitled to redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, any time on or after April 1, 2031.  As of March 31, 2026, $3.10 million was owned by certain directors of the Company.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Off-Balance-Sheet Financing and Concentrations of Credit: The Company is a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include the Company’s commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the consolidated financial statements. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Unless otherwise noted, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Contract amounts of financial instruments that represent credit risk as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued)

Commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since certain commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case- by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if any, required by the Company upon the extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Mortgage and construction loan commitments are secured by a first lien on real estate.

Commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit may be written on a fixed-rate basis thus exposing the Company to interest rate risk, given the possibility that market rates may change between commitment and actual extension of credit.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee payment on behalf of a customer and guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Contingent obligations under the standby letters of credit represent the maximum potential future payments the Company could be required to make. Typically, these instruments have terms of twelve months or less and expire unused; therefore, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer is evaluated individually for creditworthiness under the same underwriting standards used for commitments to extend credit and on-balance-sheet instruments. Company policies governing loan collateral apply to standby letters of credit at the time of credit extension. Loan-to-value ratios will generally range from 80% for movable assets, such as inventory, to 100% for liquid assets, such as bank certificates of deposits. The fair value of the Company’s standby letters of credit at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was not significant.

The Company has no loan commitments with borrowers which are intended to be held for sale if closed. The Company generally makes its determination of whether or not to identify a loan as held for sale at the time that loan commitments are entered into. In order to reduce the interest rate risk associated with the portfolio of loans held for sale, as well as loan commitments with locked interest rates which are intended to be held for sale if closed, the Company enters into agreements to sell loans in the secondary market to unrelated investors. The Company did not have any commitments to sell loans at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Concentrations of Credit: The Company primarily grants residential, consumer and commercial-related loans to customers located in the New York State counties of Saratoga, Fulton, Montgomery, and northern sections of Albany and Schenectady counties. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the economic conditions in these areas.

Data Processing: The Company has a data processing agreement with payments based on transaction volume. Total data processing expense related to this contract was approximately $229 thousand and $278 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Dividend Restrictions: The Company’s principal source of cash flow to pay dividends on its common shares, to service its debt and to finance its corporate operations is capital distributions from the Bank. Federal banking law limits the amount of capital distributions that national banks can make to their holding companies without prior regulatory approval. A national bank’s dividend-paying capacity is affected by several factors, including net profits (as defined by statute) for the two previous calendar years and for the current year up to the date of dividend declaration. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank paid the Company a total of $245 thousand in dividends. As of the close of business on March 31, 2026, the Bank had an additional $8.0 million available to pay dividends to the Company, without prior regulatory approval and without affecting its status as “well capitalized” under the FDIC-defined capital categories.

Contingent Liabilities: In the ordinary course of business there are various legal proceedings pending against the Company. Based on consultation with outside counsel, management believes that the aggregate exposure, if any, arising from such litigation would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following management discussion and analysis of the Company’s consolidated financial condition as of March 31, 2026 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including notes thereto, and the other information therein included in the Company’s Special Financial Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in conjunction with the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2026, the Consolidated Statements of Income, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS OF BALLSTON SPA BANCORP, INC.

The objective of this section is to help potential investors understand Ballston Spa Bancorp Inc.’s (“Ballston Spa”) views on its results of operations and financial condition. In order to fully understand this analysis, the reader is encouraged to review the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. We consider accounting policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or discretion or to make significant assumptions that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. As of March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our most recent Special Financial Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025

Total Assets. Total assets increased $13.1 million, or 1.41%, to $941.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $928.5 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily the result of a $19.7 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $0.6 million increase in premises and equipment and a $0.9 million increase in other assets partially offset by a $6.1 million decrease in investment securities (including FHLB and FRB stock) and a $2.2 million decrease in net total loans.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $19.7 million, or 70.11%, to $47.8 million at March 31, 2026 from $28.1 million at December 31, 2025, primarily as a result of the Company’s junior subordinated note issuance of $25.4 million, net of applicable fees, on March 25, 2026.

Securities. Total securities decreased $3.9 million, or 5.86%, to $62.7 million at March 31, 2026 from $66.6 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was due to the Bank increasing its overall liquidity position as well as the regular principal and interest payments on Ballston Spa’s securities portfolio.

Loans. Loans held for investment, net, decreased $2.2 million, or 0.28%, to $792.3 million at March 31, 2026 from $794.5 million at December 31, 2025. Commercial real estate loans decreased $1.6 million, or 0.43%, to $368.8 million at March 31, 2026 from $370.4 million at December 31, 2025. Residential mortgage loans decreased $1.0 million, or 0.31%, to $317.7 million at March 31, 2026 from $318.7 million at December 31, 2025.

Deposits. Deposits increased $42.5 million, or 5.55%, to $807.7 million at March 31, 2026 from $765.2 million at December 31, 2025. NOW and money market accounts increased $42.5 million, or 11.12%, to $424.8 million at March 31, 2026 from $382.3 million at December 31, 2025. Savings accounts decreased $1.8 million, or 2.06%, to $85.4 million at March 31, 2026 from $87.2 million at December 31, 2025. Non-interest-bearing deposits decreased $2.2 million, or 1.48%, to $146.3 million at March 31, 2026 from $148.5 million at December 31, 2025. Certificates of deposit increased $4.1 million, or 2.78%, to $151.3 million at March 31, 2026 from $147.2 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in certificates of deposit and the decrease in savings accounts reflected the decision of many depositors to take advantage of increased market rates being paid on certificates of deposit.

Borrowings. As of March 31, 2026, Ballston Spa had $20.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, compared to $74.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances at December 31, 2025. The decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances was primarily due to deposit growth during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as well as the issuance of the Company’s junior subordinated note of $25.4 million, net of applicable fees, on March 25, 2026.

Junior subordinated debentures. The Company issued $26.0 million ($25.4 million net of applicable fees) in subordinated notes on March 25, 2026. The subordinated notes issued mature on April 1, 2036 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 7.375%, payable quarterly in arrears, up to but excluding April 1, 2031. From and including April 1, 2031 to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum initially equal to the then-current three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 378 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company is entitled to redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, any time on or after April 1, 2031.

Total Shareholders’ Equity. Total shareholders’ equity decreased $0.4 million, or 0.56%, to $70.7 million at March 31, 2026 from $71.1 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease resulted from other comprehensive loss due to unrealized losses in the investment portfolio as well as dividend payments which were offset by net income.

Average Balances and Yields. The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects are immaterial. Average balances are calculated using month-end average balances, rather than daily average balances. Ballston Spa believes the use of month-end average balances is representative of its operations. Non-accrual loans are included in average balances only. Average yields include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Deferred loan fees are immaterial.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

General. Net income decreased $1.1 million, or 84.62%, to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by an increase in non-interest expenses—primarily compensation and benefits, merger-related expense, and occupancy and equipment—partially offset by an increase in net interest income.  

Interest Income. Interest income increased $0.5 million, or 4.81%, to $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase resulted primarily from a $0.7 million, or 7.53%, increase in interest income on loans, offset in part by a $0.2 million, or 22.22%, decrease in income on investments.  The average balance of loans increased $34.8 million, or 4.53%, to $802.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $767.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. In addition, there was an increase of 16 basis points in the average yield of loans to 5.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 4.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.  The average balance of securities decreased $10.7 million, or 12.97%, to $71.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $82.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average yield on securities decreased by 17 basis points to 5.17% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 5.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $0.2 million or 5.00%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from an increase in interest expense on deposits. The average rate Ballston Spa paid on deposits increased 12 basis points to 2.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 2.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the average balance of deposits increased $54.8 million, or 9.42%, to $636.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $581.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The overall increase was driven by an increase in the average balance of money market accounts and time deposit accounts.  The average balance of money market accounts increased by $52.4 million, or 21.37%, to $297.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $245.2 million at March 31, 2025.  Additionally, there was an increase in the average balance of time deposits of $18.6 million, or 14.30%, from $130.1 million at March 31, 2025 to $148.7 million at March 31, 2026. There was a decrease in the rate paid on these accounts of 43 basis points from 4.17% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 3.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $0.4 million, or 6.25%, to $6.8 million for three months ended March 31, 2026 from $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Ballston Spa had increases in its net interest rate spread of 9 basis points to 2.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 2.48% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and net interest margin of 7 basis points to 3.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 3.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and a decrease in its net interest-earning assets of $1.1 million, or 0.55%, to $198.6

million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $199.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increases in Ballston Spa’s net interest rate spread and net interest margin were primarily a result of increases in the yields on interest-earning assets, coupled with a leveling off of the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision for credit losses. Ballston Spa establishes provisions for credit losses, which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level Ballston Spa considers necessary to absorb expected credit losses in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for credit losses, Ballston Spa considers, among other things, past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of delinquent loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or conditions change. Ballston Spa assesses the allowance for credit losses and makes provisions for credit losses on a quarterly basis.

Based on Ballston Spa’s evaluation of the above factors, Ballston Spa recorded a provision for credit losses of $180,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. Ballston Spa had $0.6 million of non-performing loans and $5.5 million of classified and special mention loans at March 31, 2026, and net charge offs of $13 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026.  This compares to $1.4 million of non-performing loans and $7.1 million of classified and special mention loans at December 31, 2025.  Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $60 thousand. Ballston Spa’s allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.11% at March 31, 2026 compared to 1.09% at December 31, 2025.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased $0.1 million, or 11.11%, to $1.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2026 from $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of a net gain on the sale and servicing of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $0.2 million.  

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $1.6 million, or 29.09%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of a $0.8 million increase in merger expense, a $0.5 million, or 14.44%, increase in compensation and employee benefits and a $0.3 million, or 43.12%, increase in occupancy and equipment. The increase in merger expense related to legal and professional consulting contracts related to the strategic merger.  The increase in compensation and employee benefits represents annual merit adjustments and increased health care and pension plan costs. The increase in occupancy and equipment represents increased spending in various technology and branch infrastructure initiatives throughout the three months ended March 31, 2026, including the renovation of our home office branch in downtown Ballston Spa, NY.

Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Market Risk

General. Ballston Spa’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of its assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of Ballston Spa’s operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of its financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Ballston Spa’s ALCO Committee, which consists of members of management, is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in its assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given its business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by Ballston Spa’s board of directors. Ballston Spa currently utilizes a third-party modeling program, prepared on a quarterly basis, to evaluate its sensitivity to changing interest rates, given its business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.

26

Table of Contents

Ballston Spa has sought to manage its interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of its earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. Ballston Spa has implemented the following strategies to manage its interest rate risk:

growing target deposit accounts;
utilizing Ballston Spa’s investment securities portfolio as part of its balance sheet asset and liability and interest rate risk management strategy to reduce the impact of movements in interest rates on net interest income and economic value of equity, which can create temporary valuation adjustments to equity in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income; and
continuing to price Ballston Spa’s one-to-four family residential real estate loan products in a way that encourages borrowers to select its fixed-rate, longer term loans as opposed to variable-rate shorter term loans.

By following these strategies, Ballston Spa believes that it is better positioned to react to increases and decreases in market interest rates.

Ballston Spa generally does not engage in hedging activities, such as engaging in futures or options, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage-backed securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to fund assets and meet obligations as they come due. Ballston Spa’s primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, and repayments from investment securities. In addition, Ballston Spa has the ability to collateralize borrowings in the wholesale markets or borrow advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Ballston Spa’s ALCO Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring its liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of its customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. Ballston Spa seeks to maintain a ratio of liquid assets (including cash and federal funds sold) as a percentage of total deposits ranging between 1% and 25%. At March 31, 2026, this ratio was 5.00%. Ballston Spa believes that it has enough sources of liquidity to satisfy its short- and long-term liquidity needs as of March 31, 2026. Ballston Spa anticipates that it will maintain higher liquidity levels following the completion of the transaction.

Ballston Spa regularly adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon its assessment of:

(i)expected loan demand;
(ii)expected deposit flows;
(iii)yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and
(iv)the objectives of Ballston Spa’s asset/liability management program.

Excess cash is invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.

Ballston Spa’s most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on its operating, financing and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $47.8 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $62.7 million at March 31, 2026.

At March 31, 2026, Ballston Spa had $65.3 million in outstanding loan commitments and $35.2 million of unused lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2026 totaled $141.2 million, or 10.00% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with Ballston Spa, it will be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan sales, other deposit products, including replacement certificates of deposit, securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and other borrowing sources. Depending on

27

Table of Contents

market conditions, Ballston Spa may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than it currently pays on the certificates of deposit due on or after March 31, 2026. Ballston Spa believes, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with it. Ballston Spa has the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Ballston Spa’s cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Ballston Spa’s primary investing activities are originating and purchasing loans and purchasing mortgage-backed securities. During the three months ending March 31, 2026, Ballston Spa originated $19.3 million of loans. Ballston Spa did not purchase any securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts. Ballston Spa experienced a net increase in total deposits of $42.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase resulted primarily from a $42.5 million increase in NOW and money market accounts and a $4.1 million increase in time deposits, offset by a $2.3 million decrease in demand deposit accounts and a $1.8 million decrease in savings accounts. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by Ballston Spa and its local competitors, and by other factors.

Ballston Spa had $20.0 million and $74.0 million in borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.  The decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank of New York borrowings was due to an increase in deposits and the issuance of $26.0 million in junior subordinated notes in March, 2026.

Ballston Spa National Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Ballston Spa National Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Ballston Spa National Bank is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 of the Notes to the Ballston Spa unaudited financial statements included in this document.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Ballston Spa’s consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of Ballston Spa’s operations. Unlike industrial companies, Ballston Spa’s assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on its performance than the effects of inflation.

Loan Portfolio Composition. The following table sets forth the composition of Ballston Spa’s loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets

When a loan is 15 days past due, Ballston Spa sends the borrower a late charge notice. If the loan delinquency is not corrected, other forms of collections are implemented, including telephone calls and collection letters. Ballston Spa attempts personal, direct contact with the borrower to determine the reason for the delinquency, to ensure that the borrower correctly understands the terms of the loan and to emphasize the importance of making payments on or before the due date. If necessary, subsequent late charges and delinquency notices are issued and the account will be monitored on a regular basis thereafter. By the 90th day of delinquency, Ballston Spa will send the borrower a final demand for payment and it may refer the loan to legal counsel to commence foreclosure proceedings. Any of Ballston Spa’s loan officers can shorten these time frames in consultation with the senior lending officer.

Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status when payment of principal or interest 90 days or more delinquent unless the loan is considered well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans are also placed on non-accrual status if collection of principal or interest in full is in doubt. When loans are placed on a non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received. The loan may be returned to accrual status if both principal and interest payments are brought current and factors indicating doubtful collection no longer exist, including performance by the borrower under the loan terms for a six-month period. Ballston Spa’s Mortgage Lending Officer reports monitored loans, including all loans rated special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss, to the board of directors on a quarterly basis. In addition, management presents a quarterly loan loss allowance analysis to Ballston Spa’s board of directors.

Classification of Assets. Ballston Spa’s policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those assets characterized by the distinct possibility that Ballston Spa will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets (or portions of assets) classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. Assets that do not expose Ballston Spa to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve Ballston Spa’s close attention, are required to be designated as special mention. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Ballston Spa had $3.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, in assets designated as special mention.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to absorb credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. Ballston Spa’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its loss allowances are subject to review by the OCC, which can require that Ballston Spa establish additional loss allowances. Ballston Spa regularly reviews its asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. On the basis of Ballston Spa’s review of its assets at March 31, 2026, Ballston Spa had $1.8 million of assets classified as substandard, and no assets classified as doubtful or loss. At December 31, 2025, Ballston Spa had $2.2 million of assets classified as substandard, and no assets classified as doubtful or loss.

Borrowings. Ballston Spa has the ability to utilize advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York to supplement its investable funds. The Federal Home Loan Bank functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for member financial institutions. As a member, Ballston Spa is required to own capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank and is authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of Ballston Spa’s mortgage loans and other assets (principally securities that are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States), provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. Advances are made under several different programs, each having its own interest rate and range of maturities. Depending on the program, limitations on the amount of advances are based either on a fixed percentage of an institution’s net worth or on the Federal Home Loan Bank’s assessment of the institution’s creditworthiness.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Ballston Spa had $20.0 million and $74.0 million, respectively, of outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. At March 31, 2026, Ballston Spa had access to additional Federal Home Loan Bank advances of up to $272.9 million based on Ballston Spa’s unused qualifying collateral available to support such advances.

Ballston Spa also has the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to supplement its investable funds. All borrowings are secured by pledges of qualifying loans and investment securities and are generally on overnight terms with interest rates quoted at the time of the borrowing. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Ballston Spa had no outstanding borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. At March 31, 2026, Ballston Spa had board of directors’ authorization to borrow up to $3.0 million from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than the effects of inflation.
