Gouverneur Bancorp delivered higher profitability with improved margins and balance sheet mix.
Gouverneur Bancorp increased quarterly net income to $217,000 and six‑month net income to $504,000, with earnings per share nearly doubling versus the prior‑year periods. Higher interest income on loans and a notable boost in non‑interest income supported these gains.
Net interest margin improved to 4.22% for the quarter and 4.14% for the six months, reflecting lower deposit interest costs relative to asset yields.
