Insights

Presentation shows a well-capitalized community bank with solid Q1 profitability.

Lake Shore Bancorp reported Q1 2026 net income of $1.9M and EPS of $0.26, with a 1.07% ROAA and a 4.02% net interest margin, 17 basis points above the linked quarter. This reflects both loan growth and disciplined deposit pricing.

Credit quality indicators were favorable, including non-performing assets at 0.22% of total assets and net charge-offs at 0.01% of average loans. Capital is notably strong, with a tangible common equity ratio of 19.7% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 17.5% as of March 31, 2026, aided by the 2025 second-step conversion.

The presentation emphasizes a diversified commercial real estate portfolio, modest uninsured deposits at 10.0% of total deposits, and a securities book largely in municipal bonds. Subsequent filings may provide additional detail on how management deploys excess capital and maintains net interest margin through the rest of 2026.

Net income $1.9 million Q1 2026
Earnings per share $0.26 per diluted share Q1 2026

Tier 1 leverage ratio 17.5% Bank-level, as of March 31, 2026
net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin of 4.02%, up 17bps from the linked quarter"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
efficiency ratio financial
"Efficiency ratio of 69.58%"
A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.
tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio financial
"Consolidated Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets ratio of 19.7%"
Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio measures how much of a company’s physical, measurable assets are funded by the pure ownership stake of common shareholders after removing intangible items like goodwill and patents. Investors use it like a safety cushion gauge: a higher ratio means more real, recoverable value backing assets and greater capacity to absorb losses, while a lower ratio suggests higher leverage or reliance on non-physical value.
Tier 1 Leverage ratio financial
"Bank-level Tier 1 Leverage ratio of 17.5%"
Tier 1 leverage ratio measures a bank’s core capital — the money that can absorb losses — as a share of its total assets, showing how much of its balance sheet is funded by real loss-absorbing capital rather than borrowed money. Investors use it like a safety gauge: a higher ratio means a bigger cushion against shocks and lower risk of insolvency, similar to how a thicker spare tire reduces the chance of being stranded.
non-performing assets financial
"Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets decreased to 0.22%"
Loans or other credit exposures that are not producing expected income because borrowers have stopped making scheduled payments for a significant period (commonly around 90 days). Think of it like a business lending money that has gone quiet — the cash flow stops while the lender still carries the debt on its books. High levels of non-performing assets matter to investors because they reduce a lender’s earnings, tie up capital that could be used for growth, and signal higher risk of future losses.
second-step mutual-to-stock conversion financial

Slide 25

Non-GAAP Reconciliation Note: Share and per share information reflects the effects of the Company's conversion and related stock offering for all periods presented, as applicable Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible common equity ratio”) and tangible book value per share are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures derived from U.S. GAAP-based amounts. We calculate the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common stockholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing common stockholders’ equity by common shares outstanding. We believe that this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk‑based capital ratios. Accordingly, we believe that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our capital position and ratios. However, these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on U.S. GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-U.S. GAAP measure of tangible common equity ratio to the U.S. GAAP measure of common equity ratio and tangible book value per share to the U.S. GAAP measure of book value per share are set forth below.


Slide 26

Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Cont.) For periods presented below, efficiency ratio is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure derived from U.S. GAAP-based amounts. This figure represents the ratio of noninterest expense less other real estate owned operations and amortization of intangible assets expense to the sum of net interest income and total noninterest income. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measures provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business. This non-U.S. GAAP financial measure is supplemental and is not a substitute for an analysis based on U.S. GAAP measures. As companies may use different calculations for this measure, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A calculation of the non-U.S. GAAP measure of efficiency ratio is set forth below.
