Insights
TL;DR Improved profitability driven by higher net interest income; EPS rose despite one-time conversion costs.
Net income increased to $2.443 million for Q2 2025 from $0.844 million in the prior-year quarter and diluted EPS rose to $0.33. Net interest income increased to $14.795 million, which supported operating results. Non-interest expense remained elevated, including approximately $3.2 million of non-recurring data processing conversion costs recorded in connection with the February 2025 system conversion.
TL;DR Credit profile mixed: allowance modestly lower while nonaccrual loans declined; some securities show unrealized losses.
The allowance for credit losses declined to $21.571 million from $22.779 million at year-end 2024 while nonaccrual loans (amortized cost) fell to $12.651 million from $16.368 million. Available-for-sale corporate bonds carried aggregate unrealized losses (approximately $0.9 million) and total securities AFS unrealized losses were $1.189 million at June 30, 2025. These are discrete, disclosed portfolio metrics that bear monitoring.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Hanover Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), is the holding company for Hanover Community Bank (the “Bank”). On June 25, 2025, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between the Company and Hanover Bancorp, Inc., a New York corporation (“Legacy Hanover”), with the Company as the surviving entity. The Company was created at the direction of the Board of Directors of Legacy Hanover in order to facilitate the foregoing transactions so as to change its state of incorporation from New York to Maryland (the “Reincorporation”). Such change was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual shareholder meeting held on March 5, 2024, by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on July 5, 2024, and the New York State Department of Financial Services on November 20, 2024. Accordingly, the Company is incorporated in the State of Maryland.
The Bank, headquartered in Mineola, New York, is a New York State chartered bank. The Bank commenced operations on November 4, 2008 and is a full-service bank providing personal and business lending and deposit services. As a New York State chartered, non-Federal Reserve member bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the New York State Department of Financial Services (“DFS”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company is subject to regulation and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”).
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the preceding unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition as of June 30, 2025, its consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, its consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, its consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and its consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had an immaterial effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and had no effect on prior period net income or stockholders’ equity.
In addition, the preceding unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, as well as in accordance with predominant practices within the banking industry. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or of the results for the full fiscal year 2025. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since December 31, 2024.
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the Company include the Company and the Bank on a consolidated basis.
The Company completed its core data processing system conversion to FIS Horizon in February 2025. In connection with the conversion, the Company incurred non-recurring expenses of approximately $

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The two-class method is used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Under the two-class method, earnings available to common shareholders for the period are allocated between common shareholders and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The restricted stock awards granted by the Company contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and therefore are considered participating securities.
The Company’s basic and diluted EPS calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows. There were

Assessment of Available for Sale Debt Securities for Credit Risk
Management assesses the decline in fair value of investment securities periodically. Unrealized losses on debt securities may occur from current market conditions, increases in interest rates since the time of purchase, a structural change in an investment, volatility of earnings of a specific issuer, or deterioration in credit quality of the issuer. Management evaluates both qualitative and quantitative factors to assess whether an impairment exists. The following is a discussion of the credit quality characteristics of portfolio segments carrying unrealized losses at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and sponsored entities
The mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations held by the Company were issued by U.S government-sponsored entities and agencies. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality. The Company does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The Company considers these securities to carry zero loss estimates and
Corporate bonds
The Company’s corporate bond portfolio is comprised of subordinated debt issues of community and regional banks. Management considers the credit quality of each individual investment. Management reviewed the collectibility of these investments, taking into account such factors as the financial condition of the issuers, reported regulatory capital ratios, and credit ratings, when available, and other factors. All corporate bond debt securities continue to accrue interest and make payments as expected with no defaults or deferrals on the part of the issuers. The Company considers the potential credit risk of the issuers to be immaterial and has
Collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”)
The Company’s CLO portfolio is comprised of an actively managed portfolio of senior secured Class A Notes. Management considers the credit quality of each individual investment. Management reviewed the collectibility of these investments, taking into account such factors as the financial condition of the issuers and credit ratings, when available and other factors. All CLO securities continue to accrue interest and make payments as expected with no defaults or deferrals on the part of the issuers. The Company considers the potential credit risk of the issuers to be immaterial and has not allocated an allowance for credit losses on its CLO portfolio as of June 30, 2025.

The Company may occasionally make modifications to loans where the borrower is considered to be in financial distress. Types of modifications include principal reductions, significant payment delays, term extensions, interest rate reductions or a combination thereof. The amount of principal reduction is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses. The Company did not have any loans that were both experiencing difficulties and modified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans at June 30, 2025 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, by class and type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below.

Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan (or a portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025,

Credit Quality Indicators:
The Company has adopted a credit risk rating system as part of the risk assessment of its loan portfolio. The Company’s lending officers are required to assign a credit risk rating to each loan in their portfolio at origination. When the lender learns of important financial developments, the risk rating is reviewed and adjusted if necessary. In addition, the Company engages a third-party independent loan reviewer that performs quarterly reviews of a sample of loans, validating the credit risk ratings assigned to such loans. The credit risk ratings play an important role in the establishment of the loan loss provision and to confirm the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.
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 commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention: The loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard: The loan is inadequately protected by current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as Substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful: The loan has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing factors, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans not having a credit risk rating of Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful are considered pass loans.

Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, and generally with vesting periods of
The fair value of stock options is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the common stock of the Company’s peers. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. Expected terms are based on historical data and represent the periods in which the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

6. REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy regulations and, additionally, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The effects of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss is not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of June 30, 2025, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
In addition to the minimum capital requirements discussed above, the Bank is also required to maintain a capital buffer above the requirements set forth in the capital adequacy regulations. Failure to maintain the required buffer could impair the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company and to pay certain compensation to its executives.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized or worse, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.
Under a policy of the Federal Reserve applicable to bank holding companies with less than $3.0 billion in consolidated assets, the Company is not subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements.
The following table sets forth the Bank’s actual and required capital amounts (in thousands) and ratios under current regulations:

7. FAIR VALUE
FASB ASC No. 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined using quoted market prices. However, in many instances, quoted market prices are not available. In such instances, fair values are determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Various assumptions and observable inputs must be relied upon in applying these techniques. Accordingly, categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As such, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate transfer of the respective asset or liability.
FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy and describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
● | Level 1: Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
● | Level 2: Fair value is calculated using significant inputs other than quoted market prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. The valuation may rely on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, rate volatility, prepayment speeds, credit ratings) or inputs that are derived principally or corroborated by market data, by correlation, or other means. |
● | Level 3: Inputs for determining the fair value of the respective assets or liabilities are not observable. Level 3 valuations are reliant upon pricing models and techniques that require significant management judgment or estimation. |
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

The fair value for the securities available-for-sale were obtained from an independent broker based upon 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. The Company has determined these are classified as Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.
Derivatives represent interest rate swaps for which the estimated fair values are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date resulting in a Level 2 classification.

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future servicing income. The valuation model utilizes interest rate, prepayment speed, and default rate assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. The fair value of loan servicing rights related to residential mortgage loans at June 30, 2025 was determined based on discounted expected future cash flows using discount rates ranging from
The fair value of loan servicing rights for SBA loans at June 30, 2025 was determined based on discounted expected future cash flows using discount rates ranging from

Executive Summary – The Company is a one-bank holding company incorporated in 2016. The Company operates as the parent for its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, which commenced operations in 2008. The income of the Company is primarily derived through the operations of the Bank. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the Company include the Company and the Bank on a consolidated basis.
The Company completed its core processing system conversion to FIS Horizon in February 2025. This conversion, coupled with our recently refreshed corporate logo, exemplifies our momentum towards a more technologically advanced, modern and digitally forward-thinking bank.
The Company was added to the Russell 2000 Index in late June 2025. The Russell 2000 Index encompasses the 2,000 largest U.S.-traded stocks by objective, market-capitalization rankings, and style attributes. The Russell Indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies.
The Bank operates as a locally headquartered, community-oriented bank, serving customers throughout the New York metro area from offices in Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, Kings (Brooklyn) and New York (Manhattan) Counties, New York and Freehold in Monmouth County, New Jersey. We opened the Bank’s Hauppauge Business Banking Center in Hauppauge, Suffolk County, New York in May 2023. This location is the nexus of our expanded commercial lending and deposit activities that are integral to the ongoing diversification of our balance sheet as we fill the void left by the diminishing number of commercial banks in the NYC Metro area. In June 2025, we opened a full-service branch in Port Jefferson, on Long Island, New York to serve the thriving Suffolk County area. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we began offering business banking services to the legal, licensed cannabis industry, initially in New York state. We now offer these services in New Jersey and may in the future consider opening accounts for licensed entities in other states. We offer personal and business loans on a secured and unsecured basis, SBA and USDA guaranteed loans, revolving lines of credit, commercial mortgage loans, and one- to four-family non-qualified mortgages secured by primary and secondary residences that may be owner occupied or investment properties, home equity loans, bridge loans and other personal purpose loans.
The Bank works to provide more direct, personal attention to customers than management believes is offered by competing financial institutions, the majority of which are headquartered outside of the Bank’s primary trade area and are represented locally by branch offices. By striving to employ professional, responsive and knowledgeable staff, the Bank believes it offers a superior level of service to its customers. As a result of senior management’s availability for consultation on a daily basis, the Bank believes it offers customers quicker responses on loan applications and other banking transactions, as well as greater and earlier certainty as to whether these transactions will actually close, than competitors, whose decisions may take longer and be made in distant headquarters.

Historically, the Bank has generated additional income by strategically originating and selling residential and government guaranteed loans to other financial institutions at premiums, while also retaining servicing rights in some sales. However, with the rapid and significant rise in market interest rates in recent years, the appetite among the Bank’s purchasers of residential loans for pools of loans declined, eliminating the Bank’s ability to sell residential loans in its portfolio on desirable terms. In response, the Bank developed a flow origination program under which the Bank originates individual loans for sale to specific buyers, thereby positioning the Bank to resume residential loan sales and generate fee income to complement sale premiums earned from the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans. The Bank is an approved SBA Preferred Lender, enabling the Bank to process SBA applications under delegated authority from the SBA and enhancing the Bank’s ability to compete more effectively for SBA lending opportunities.
The Bank remains focused on expanding its core verticals and continues to originate loans for its portfolio and for sale in the secondary market under its residential flow origination program. The Bank originated $62.2 million in residential loans in the quarter ended June 30, 2025. During the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company sold $23.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of residential loans under its flow origination program and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
During the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company sold approximately $22.3 million and $28.0 million, respectively, in government guaranteed SBA loans and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $1.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively. SBA loan originations and gains on sale were lower than expected due to a confluence of factors. One factor is the impact of the “higher-for-longer” interest rate environment that management believes has both worsened the financial condition of and reduced demand among small business borrowers, resulting in a lower volume of creditworthy customers. Another factor is the negative impact of and uncertainty created by tariffs, which we believe have also dampened loan demand among borrowers in certain industries. A third factor is the Bank’s decision to tighten credit standards over the course of the last year. Although management continues to believe this to be a prudent measure, it has nonetheless resulted in a lower volume of loan approvals, causing the Bank to re-evaluate the number and caliber of its business development officers. Taken together these and other factors have adversely impacted SBA loan originations and closings. With the addition of additional business development officers in the second half of 2025, we anticipate higher volumes of eligible loans as we transition into 2026. The Bank concluded the second quarter of 2025 with C&I loan originations of approximately $29.3 million. Based on its existing pipeline, the Bank expects C&I lending and deposit activity to grow as the year progresses.
The Bank finances most of its activities through a combination of deposits, including non-interest-bearing demand, savings, NOW and money market deposits as well as time deposits, and both short- and long-term borrowings. The Company’s chief competition includes local banks within its market area, New York City money center banks and regional banks, as well as non-bank lenders, including fintech lenders.

At June 30, 2025 the Company, on a consolidated basis, had total assets of $2.3 billion, total deposits of $2.0 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $198.9 million. The Company recorded net income of $2.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), for the same period in 2024.
The $1.6 million increase in earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2025, versus the comparable 2024 quarter resulted from a $1.5 million increase in net interest income and a $1.7 million decrease in provision for credit losses. These were partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in non-interest expenses, particularly salaries and employee benefits increase of $0.5 million, and a $0.6 million increase in income tax expense.
The Company’s return on average assets and return on average stockholders’ equity were 0.44% and 4.93%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, versus 0.15% and 1.77%, respectively, for the comparable 2024 quarter.
Total non-accrual loans at June 30, 2025 were $12.7 million, or 0.64% of total loans, compared to $16.4 million, or 0.82% of total loans at December 31, 2024 and $15.8 million, or 0.79% of total loans, at June 30,2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total non-accrual loans amounted to 171%, 139% and 149% at June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
The Company’s operating efficiency ratio was 68.73% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, versus 69.18% in the June 30, 2024 quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates - To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. Critical accounting estimates are accounting estimates where (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. At June 30, 2025, there have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies disclosed in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Total securities available for sale at June 30, 2025 were $102.6 million, an increase of $18.9 million from December 31, 2024, primarily driven by growth in collateralized mortgage obligations, collateralized loan obligations and corporate bonds. Total loans at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $2.0 billion. Total deposits were $2.0 billion at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024. Total borrowings and subordinated debt at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $132.5 million, including $107.8 million of outstanding FHLB advances.
At June 30, 2025, the residential loan portfolio amounted to $738.8 million, or 37.6% of total loans. Commercial real estate loans, including multi-family loans and construction and land development loans, totaled $1.1 billion or 54.8% of total loans at June 30, 2025.

At those dates, demand deposit balances represented 12.5% and 10.8% of total deposits. The Company’s municipal deposit program is built on long-standing relationships developed in the local marketplace. This core deposit business will continue to provide a stable source of funding for the Company’s lending products at costs lower than both consumer deposits and market-based borrowings. The Company continues to broaden its municipal deposit base and currently services 40 customer relationships. At June 30, 2025, total municipal deposits were $517.4 million, representing 26.5% of total deposits, compared to $509.3 million at December 31, 2024, representing 26.1% of total deposits.

Stabilized Multi-Family Pro Forma Stress Results
The table below reflects a proforma stressed evaluation of the Bank’s multifamily stabilized loan portfolio, using the primary assumption for a revised Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”) calculation, for all loans where the current interest rate is below 6%. The current balance for these loans is recast at 6% with a 30-year amortization. The chart below reflects the impact of these adjustments on the portfolio. The projected loan to value (“LTV”) assumption resets all loans using a 6% cap rate and the last reported property net operating income (“NOI”) to determine an implied property valuation and based on the current loan balance the resultant LTV.

As reflected above, the results show approximately 3%, or 10 loans totaling $18 million of the total multi-family portfolio would have proforma DSCR’s less than 1x, while maintaining projected weighted average LTV’s under 100%. Additionally, approximately 97% or 89 loans totaling $178 million, would possess DSCR’s greater than 1x while maintaining a projected weighted average LTV well within our policy guidelines. We believe the overall demand for multifamily housing in our market will allow our borrowers to address any adverse impact proactively, as evidenced by the maturities and rate resets in the previous 12 months which have been successfully refinanced with other institutions at market rates similar to those used in the above analysis.
Rental breakdown of Multi-Family portfolio
The table below segments our portfolio of loans secured by Multi-Family properties based on rental terms and location. As shown below, 64% of the combined portfolio is secured by properties subject to free market rental terms, which is the dominant tenant type. Both the Market Rent and Stabilized Rent segments of our portfolio present very similar average borrower profiles. The portfolio is primarily located in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens.

Office Property Exposure
The Bank’s exposure to the Office market is minor. Loans secured by office space accounted for 2.48% of the total loan portfolio with a total balance of $48.9 million, of which less than 1% is located in Manhattan. The pool has a 2.48x weighted average DSCR, a 53% weighted average LTV and less than $350,000 of exposure in Manhattan.
Liquidity and Capital Resources – Liquidity management is defined as the ability of the Company and the Bank to meet their financial obligations on a continuous basis without material loss or disruption of normal operations. These obligations include the withdrawal of deposits on demand or at their contractual maturity, the repayment of borrowings as they mature, funding new and existing loan commitments and the ability to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise. Asset liquidity is provided by short-term investments, such as fed funds sold, the marketability of securities available for sale and interest-bearing deposits due from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, FHLB and correspondent banks, which totaled $267.2 million and $246.6 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These liquid assets may include assets that have been pledged primarily against municipal deposits or borrowings. Liquidity is also provided by the maintenance of a base of core deposits, cash and non-interest-bearing deposits due from banks, the ability to sell or pledge marketable assets and access to lines of credit. At June 30, 2025, undrawn liquidity sources, which include cash and unencumbered securities and secured and unsecured funding capacity, totaled $686.5 million or approximately 274% of uninsured deposit balances.
Liquidity is continuously monitored, thereby allowing management to better understand and react to emerging balance sheet trends, including temporary mismatches with regard to sources and uses of funds. After assessing actual and projected cash flow needs, management seeks to obtain funding at the most economical cost. These funds can be obtained by converting liquid assets to cash or by attracting new deposits or other sources of funding. Many factors affect the Company’s ability to meet liquidity needs, including variations in the markets served, loan demand, its asset/liability mix, its reputation and credit standing in its markets and general economic conditions. Borrowings and the scheduled amortization of investment securities and loans are more predictable funding sources. Deposit flows and securities prepayments are somewhat less predictable as they are often subject to external factors. Among these are changes in the local and national economies, competition from other financial institutions and changes in market interest rates.
The Company’s primary sources of funds are cash provided by deposits, which may include brokered and listing service deposits, borrowings, proceeds from maturities and sales of securities and cash provided by operating activities. At June 30, 2025, total deposits were $2.0 billion, of which $502.3 million were time deposits scheduled to mature within the next 12 months. Based on historical experience, the Company expects to be able to replace a substantial portion of those maturing deposits with comparable deposit products. Insured and collateralized deposits, which include municipal deposits, accounted for approximately 87% of total deposits at June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $107.8 million in borrowings outstanding.
The Liquidity and Wholesale Funding Policy of the Bank establishes specific policies and operating procedures governing liquidity levels to assist management in developing plans to address future and current liquidity needs. Management monitors the rates and cash flows from loan and investment portfolios while also examining the maturity structure and volatility characteristics of liabilities to develop an optimum asset/liability mix. Available funding sources include retail, commercial and municipal deposits, purchased liabilities and stockholders’ equity. Daily, management receives a current cash position update to ensure that all obligations are satisfied. On a weekly basis, appropriate senior management receives a current liquidity position report and a ninety day forecasted cash flow to ensure that all short-term obligations will be met and there is sufficient liquidity available. At June 30, 2025, the Bank had a total borrowing capacity of $814.1 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, of which $502.7 million was used to collateralize municipal deposits and $107.8 million was utilized for term advances. At June 30, 2025, the Bank had a $111.2 million collateralized line of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s discount window with no outstanding borrowings. At June 30, 2025, the Bank had access to approximately $92 million in unsecured lines of credit extended by correspondent banks, if needed, for short-term funding purposes. No borrowings were outstanding under lines of credit with correspondent banks at June 30, 2025.

Our sources of wholesale funding included brokered deposits, listing service certificates of deposit and insured cash sweep (“ICS”) reciprocal deposits in excess of 20% of total liabilities, which balances totaled approximately $125.3 million, $2.4 million and $1.1 million, or 6.4%, 0.1% and 0.1% of total deposits, respectively, at June 30, 2025. We utilized brokered certificates of deposit and listing service certificates of deposit as alternatives to other forms of wholesale funding, including borrowings, when interest rates and market conditions favor the use of such deposits. For a portion of our brokered certificates of deposit, we utilized interest rate swap contracts to effectively extend their duration and to fix their cost.
The Company strives to maintain an efficient level of capital, commensurate with its risk profile, on which a competitive rate of return to stockholders will be realized over the short and long terms. Capital is managed to enhance stockholder value while providing flexibility for management to act opportunistically in a changing marketplace. Management continually evaluates the Company’s capital position in light of current and future growth objectives and regulatory guidelines. Total stockholders’ equity was $198.9 million at June 30, 2025 and $196.6 million at December 31, 2024. Retained earnings increased by $2.5 million due primarily to net income of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was offset by $1.5 million of dividends declared. The accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2025 was 0.62% of total equity and was comprised of a $0.7 million after tax net unrealized loss on the investment portfolio and a $0.5 million after tax net unrealized loss on derivatives.
The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements. The Bank’s tier 1 leverage, common equity tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.29%, 13.16%, 13.16% and 14.41%, respectively, at June 30, 2025, exceeding all regulatory guidelines for a well-capitalized institution, the highest regulatory capital category. Moreover, capital rules also place limits on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if a banking organization does not maintain a buffer of common equity tier 1 capital above the minimum capital requirements. At June 30, 2025, the Bank’s capital buffer was in excess of requirements.
On October 5, 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 366,050 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of its then outstanding shares. The repurchase program permits shares to be repurchased in the open market as conditions allow, or in privately negotiated transactions, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has not made any stock repurchases under the program. The remaining buyback authority under the share repurchase program therefore remained at 366,050 shares as of June 30, 2025.

The Company’s total stockholders’ equity to total assets ratio and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (“TCE ratio”) were 8.60% and 7.83%, respectively, at June 30, 2025, versus 8.50% and 7.73%, respectively, at December 31, 2024. The TCE ratio is a non-GAAP ratio. The ratio of total stockholders’ equity to total assets is the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure to this non-GAAP ratio. The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, or TCE ratio, is calculated by dividing total stockholders’ equity by total assets, after reducing both amounts by intangible assets. The TCE ratio is not required by U.S. GAAP or by applicable bank regulatory requirements, but is a metric used by management to evaluate the adequacy of our capital levels. Since there is no authoritative requirement to calculate the TCE ratio, our TCE ratio is not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures disclosed or used by other companies in the financial services industry. Tangible common equity and tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Set forth below are the reconciliations of tangible common equity to U.S. GAAP total stockholders’ equity and tangible assets to U.S. GAAP total assets at June 30, 2025 (in thousands).

All dividends must conform to applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. The Company’s ability to pay dividends to stockholders depends on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company. Additionally, the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions. Under New York law, a bank may pay a dividend on its common stock only out of net profits, and must obtain the approval of the Superintendent of the DFS if the total of all dividends declared by a bank or trust company in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfer to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock.
The Company’s Board of Directors approved the declaration of a $0.10 per share cash dividend on both common and Series A preferred shares payable on August 13, 2025 to stockholders of record on August 6, 2025.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements - The Bank is a party to 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 commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers provided there are no violations of material conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral required varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, real estate and income-producing commercial properties. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, commitments to originate loans and commitments under unused lines of credit for which the Bank is obligated amounted to approximately $151.4 million and $130.3 million, respectively.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments guaranteeing payments of drafts in accordance with the terms of the letter of credit agreements. Commercial letters of credit are used primarily to facilitate trade or commerce and are also issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, bond financings and similar transactions. Collateral may be required to support letters of credit based upon management’s evaluation of the creditworthiness of each customer. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, letters of credit outstanding were approximately $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Results of Operations – Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 – The Company recorded net income of $2.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, versus net income of $0.8 million in the comparable 2024 quarter. The $1.6 million increase in earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2025, versus the comparable 2024 quarter resulted from a $1.5 million increase in net interest income and a $1.7 million decrease in provision for credit losses. These were partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in non-interest expenses, particularly salaries and employee benefits increase of $0.5 million, and a $0.6 million increase in income tax expense.
Net Interest Income and Margin
The $1.5 million increase in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025, versus the comparable 2024 quarter was due to improvement of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.76% in the 2025 quarter from 2.46% in the comparable 2024 quarter. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 3.94% in the 2025 quarter from 4.48% in the comparable 2024 quarter, a decrease of 54 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by a 24 basis point decrease in the yield on interest earning assets to 5.98% in the 2025 quarter from 6.22% in the second quarter of 2024. Net interest income on a linked quarter basis increased $0.2 million or 1.13%, due to an 8 basis point increase in net interest margin resulting from a 7 basis point decrease in cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 3 basis point decrease on yield on interest earning assets.

Provision and Allowance for Credit losses on Loans
The Company recorded a $2.2 million provision for credit losses on loans for the three months ended June 30, 2025, versus $3.9 million (after giving effect to an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) on an individually evaluated loan of $2.5 million, and a $1.1 million provision resulting from ongoing enhancements to the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) in the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Net charge-offs of $3.5 million were incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, of which $2.5 million is attributable to the charge-off of the aforementioned specific reserve established in June 2024 on an individually evaluated commercial loan. The June 30, 2025 allowance for credit losses was $21.6 million versus $22.8 million at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.10% at June 30, 2025 and 1.15% at December 31, 2024. (See also Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates and Asset Quality contained herein.)

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments
The Company maintains a reserve, recorded in other liabilities, associated with unfunded loan commitments accepted by borrowers. The amount of the reserve was $0.5 million at June 30, 2025 and $0.3 million at December 31, 2024. This reserve is determined based upon the outstanding volume of loan commitments at the end of each period. Any increases or reductions in this reserve are recognized in the provision for credit losses.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income decreased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 versus the comparable 2024 quarter. The decrease in non-interest income is primarily related to the decrease in the net gain on sale of loans held for sale which were partially offset by increases in loan servicing and related fee income, and service charges on deposit accounts.

Non-interest Expense
Total non-interest expense increased by $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 versus the comparable 2024 quarter. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily related to increases in salaries and employee benefits as well as professional fees. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense in the second quarter of 2025 versus the comparable 2024 quarter was primarily related to the staffing of the newly opened Port Jefferson branch and additions to the C&I Banking teams, partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense resulting from reduced lending activity and other expense reduction initiatives.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.9 million for an effective tax rate of 27.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, versus income tax expense of $0.3 million for an effective tax rate of 27.2% in the comparable 2024 quarter. We expect a normalized run rate of 25.0% for the remainder of the year.
Results of Operations – Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 – The Company recorded net income of $4.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, versus net income of $4.9 million in the comparable 2024 six month period. The $0.9 million decrease in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2025, versus the comparable 2024 period resulted from a $6.1 million increase in non-interest expense, particularly a $2.2 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, and the one-time core system conversion expenses of $3.2 million. This was partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in net interest income, together with a $1.4 million decrease in the provision for credit losses, and a $0.5 million decrease in income tax expense.
Net Interest Income and Margin
The $3.2 million increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, versus the comparable 2024 period was due to the improvement of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.72% in the 2025 six month period from 2.43% in the comparable 2024 period. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 3.98% in the 2025 six months period from 4.41% in the comparable 2024 period, a decrease of 43 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by a 13 basis point decrease in the yield on interest earning assets to 5.99% in the 2025 period from 6.12% in the comparable 2024 period. The increase in the net interest margin was a result of the late 2024 reductions in the Fed Funds effective rate and the liability sensitive nature of the Bank’s balance sheet.

Provision for Credit Losses on Loans
The Company recorded a $2.8 million provision for credit losses on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2025, versus $4.1 million recorded for the comparable period in 2024. The decrease was related to the matters discussed above under the comparison of results for the three month period. (See also Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates and Asset Quality contained herein.)
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income increased by $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the comparable 2024 period. This increase was driven by a total $0.5 million increase in loan servicing and fee income and service charges on deposit accounts, which were partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in net gain on sale of loans held for sale.

Non-interest Expense
Total non-interest expense increased by $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the comparable 2024 period. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily related to increases of $2.2 million in salaries and employee benefits and the one-time core system conversion expenses of $3.2 million. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the comparable 2024 period was primarily related to additional headcount to staff the new Port Jefferson branch and expansion of the C&I lending vertical and lower deferred loan origination costs partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense resulting from reduced lending activity.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.2 million for an effective tax rate of 23.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, versus income tax expense of $1.7 million for an effective tax rate of 25.3% in the comparable 2024 period.
Asset Quality - Total non-accrual loans at June 30, 2025 were $12.7 million, or 0.64% of total loans, compared to $16.4 million, or 0.82% of total loans at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $3.7 million. This decrease resulted primarily from the proactive sale of non-performing loans, satisfactions and the charge-off of a specific reserve established in June 2024 on an individually evaluated commercial loan. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total non-accrual loans amounted to 171%, 139% and 149% at June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Total loans having credit risk ratings of Special Mention and Substandard were $43.4 million at June 30, 2025, versus $40.8 million at December 31, 2024. The Company’s Special Mention and Substandard loans were comprised of residential real estate, multi-family, commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans (including SBA facilities) and construction and land development loans at June 30, 2025. The Company had no loans with a credit risk rating of Doubtful for the periods presented. All loans not having credit risk ratings of Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful are considered pass loans.
At June 30, 2025, the Company’s allowance for credit losses amounted to $21.6 million or 1.10% of period-end total loans outstanding. The allowance as a percentage of loans outstanding was 1.15% at December 31, 2024 and 1.17% at June 30, 2024. The Company recorded net loan charge-offs of $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, of which $2.5 million is attributable to the aforementioned charge-off of a specific reserve on an individually evaluated commercial loan. Net loan charge-offs of $79 thousand were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
The Company recorded a $2.2 million provision for credit losses on loans for the three months ended June 30, 2025, versus $3.9 million recorded for the comparable period in 2024. Additional information regarding the ACL and the associated provisions recognized during the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is presented in Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company originates and invests in interest-earning assets and solicits interest-bearing deposit accounts. The Company’s operations are subject to market risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates to the extent that there is a difference between the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid, withdrawn, matured or repriced in any given period of time. The Company’s earnings or the net value of its portfolio will change under different interest rate scenarios. The principal objective of the Company’s asset/liability management program is to maximize net interest income within an acceptable range of overall risk, including both the effect of changes in interest rates and liquidity risk.
The Company utilizes a number of strategies to manage interest rate risk including, but not limited to: (i) balancing the types and structures of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by diversifying mix, coupons, maturities and/or repricing characteristics, (ii) reducing the overall interest rate sensitivity of liabilities by emphasizing core and/or longer-term deposits; utilizing FHLB advances and wholesale deposits for our interest rate risk profile, and (iii) entering into interest rate swap agreements.
The following presents the Company’s economic value of equity (“EVE”) and net interest income (“NII”) sensitivities at June 30, 2025 (dollars in thousands). The results are within the Company’s policy limits.

Certain model limitations are inherent in the methodology used in the EVE and net interest income measurements. The models require the making of certain assumptions which may tend to oversimplify the way actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The models assume that the composition of the Company’s interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remain constant over the period being measured, thus they do not consider the Company’s strategic plans, or any other steps it may take to respond to changes in rates over the forecasted period of time. Additionally, the models assume immediate changes in interest rates, based on yield curves as of a point-in-time, which are reflected in a parallel, instantaneous and uniform manner across all yield curves, when in reality changes may rarely be of this nature. The models also utilize data derived from historical performance and as interest rates change the actual performance of loan prepayments, rate sensitivities, and average life assumptions may deviate from assumptions utilized in the models and can impact the results. Accordingly, although the above measurements provide an indication of the Company’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates. Given the speed with which interest rates may change, the projections noted above on the Company’s EVE and net interest income can be expected to differ from actual results.

ITEM 4. – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule l3a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
ITEM 1. - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not subject to any legal proceedings, which if determined adversely to the Company could have a materially adverse impact on its results of operations and financial condition.
ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risks disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 2. – UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On October 5, 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 366,050 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of its then outstanding shares. The repurchase program permits shares to be repurchased in the open market as conditions allow, or in privately negotiated transactions, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has not made any stock repurchases under the program. The remaining buyback authority under the share repurchase program therefore remained at 366,050 shares as of June 30, 2025.
