Magyar Bancorp (NASDAQ: MGYR) boosts earnings on loan and deposit growth
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. reported stronger results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, driven by loan and deposit growth and wider margins. Net income for the quarter rose to $3.03 million from $2.68 million, with basic earnings per share increasing to $0.49 from $0.43. For the six-month period, net income grew to $6.17 million from $4.77 million. Total assets reached $1.07 billion, supported by loans receivable of $879.9 million and deposits of $878.4 million. The net interest margin improved to 3.66% for the quarter as loan yields increased while funding costs eased slightly. Credit quality remained solid, with non-performing loans of $294 thousand, or 0.03% of total loans, and an allowance for credit losses of $8.6 million, or 0.98% of loans. Commercial real estate and construction lending continued to expand, while one-to-four family and home equity balances declined modestly. Stockholders’ equity increased to $124.2 million, and book value per share rose to $19.19 despite ongoing dividends and share repurchases.
Positive
- Profitability and margin expansion: Six-month net income rose to $6.17 million from $4.77 million, and net interest margin improved to 3.63% from 3.27%, reflecting beneficial loan growth and pricing.
- Strong credit quality: Non-performing loans declined to $294 thousand, only 0.03% of total loans, while the allowance for credit losses increased to $8.6 million, or 0.98% of loans.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Earnings, margin, and balance sheet all showed healthy growth with low credit issues.
Magyar Bancorp delivered higher profitability as net income for the six months ended March 31, 2026 increased to $6.17 million from $4.77 million. Net interest margin expanded to 3.63% from 3.27%, driven mainly by higher loan balances and yields.
Loans receivable grew to $879.9 million, led by commercial real estate and construction, while deposits rose to $878.4 million, aided by strong certificate and noninterest-bearing growth. Funding costs ticked down slightly, helping spread and margin despite a still-elevated rate backdrop.
Asset quality appears strong: non-performing loans fell to $294 thousand, or 0.03% of total loans, while the allowance for credit losses increased to $8.6 million. The CRE portfolio is granular across property types and mostly below 70% loan-to-value, though its size and growth mean future performance will remain a key focus in subsequent filings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiary, Magyar Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries Magyar Service Corporation, Hungaria Urban Renewal, LLC, and Magyar Investment Company. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The unaudited information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
Operating results for the six months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2026 or for any other period. The September 30, 2025 information has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of available-for-sale investment securities, the valuation of other real estate owned (“OREO”), and the assessment of realizability of deferred income tax assets.
The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2026 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.
NOTE B - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In connection with the preparation of quarterly and annual reports in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Securities Exchange Act of 1934, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 11.M requires the disclosure of the impact that recently issued accounting standards will have on financial statements when they are adopted in the future.
On December. 14, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The ASU focuses on income tax disclosures around effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 largely follows the proposed ASU issued earlier in 2023 with modifications and clarifications discussed below. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December. 15, 2024 (October 1, 2025 for the Company) and effective for all other business entities one year later. Entities should adopt this guidance on a prospective basis, though retrospective application is permitted. It will impact the Company’s annual reporting for fiscal year 2026.
ASU 2023-09 requires
public business entities to disclose, on an annual basis, a rate reconciliation presented in both dollars and percentages. The guidance
requires the rate reconciliation to include specific categories and provides further guidance on disaggregation of those categories based
on a quantitative threshold equal to
NOTE C - CONTINGENCIES
The Company, from time to time, is a party to routine litigation that arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of this litigation, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations as presented in this report.

NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table presents a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods.

NOTE F – FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The securities available-for-sale and the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record other assets or liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as held-to-maturity securities, mortgage servicing rights, loans receivable and OREO. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
7
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, the Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.
The Company based its fair values on 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. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Securities Available-for-Sale
The securities available-for-sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value on a recurring basis, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in stockholders’ equity. The securities available-for-sale portfolio consists of U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities. The fair values of these securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized pricing service. An independent pricing service provides the Company with prices which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the securities in the Company’s portfolio. Various modeling techniques are used to determine pricing for Company’s mortgage-backed securities, including option pricing and discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data.
Derivatives
The Bank executes interest rate swaps with commercial lending customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The fair values of such derivatives are based on valuation models from a third party using current market terms (including interest rates and fees), the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit worthiness of the counter party as of the measurement date (Level 2).
The following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Individually Evaluated Loans
The Company has five individually evaluated loans at March 31, 2026. Based on current information, management determined that the Company may not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan contract. The allowance for these individually evaluated loans is included in the allowance for credit losses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2026, the allowance for the individually evaluated loans was $532 thousand. There was no allowance for the individually evaluated loans at September 30, 2025.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned is measured and reported at fair value less selling costs based on the fair value of the underlying collateral.
The following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025.

The following presents
the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments carried at cost
or amortized cost as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025. For short-term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents
and accrued interest receivable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the
origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For financial liabilities such as interest-bearing demand, NOW, and money
market savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products being payable on demand and
having no stated maturity.

The Company monitors the credit quality of held-to-maturity debt securities, primarily through their credit ratings by nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations, on a quarterly basis. At March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, there were no non-performing held-to-maturity debt securities and no allowance for credit losses were required. The majority of the investment securities are explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the United States government, and any estimate of expected credit losses would be insignificant to the Company. The following tables summarize the amortized cost of held-to-maturity debt securities at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, aggregated by credit quality indicator:

NOTE I – UNREALIZED LOSSES ON INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE
The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on debt securities in earnings through a provision for credit losses while non credit-related impairment on debt securities not expected to be sold are recognized in other comprehensive income.
The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of credit losses. This review includes analyzing the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the amortized cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. The Company evaluates its intent and ability to hold debt securities based upon its investment strategy for the particular type of security and its cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. In addition, the risk of future credit losses may be influenced by prolonged recession in the U.S. economy, changes in real estate values and interest deferrals.
Investment securities
with fair values greater than their amortized cost contain unrealized gains. Investment securities with fair values less than their amortized
cost contain unrealized losses.

The investment securities listed above currently have fair values less than amortized cost and, therefore, contain unrealized losses. The Company evaluated these securities and determined that the decline in value was primarily related to fluctuations in the interest rate environment and were not related to any company or industry specific event.
The Company anticipates full recovery of amortized costs with respect to these securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and has determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities prior to maturity or market price recovery. For individual debt securities classified as available-for-sale, we determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. If the decline in fair value is due to credit, we will record the portion of the impairment loss relating to credit through an ACL. Impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recorded through other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

The segments of the Company’s loan portfolio are disaggregated to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. The residential mortgage loan segment is further disaggregated into two types: first lien, amortizing term loans, and the combination of second lien amortizing term loans and home equity lines of credit. The commercial loan segment is further disaggregated into three types: loans secured by multifamily structures, loans secured by owner-occupied commercial structures, and loans secured by non-owner-occupied nonresidential properties. The construction and land loan segment consists primarily of developers or investors for the purpose of acquiring, developing and constructing residential or commercial structures and to a lesser extent one-to-four family residential construction loans made to individuals for the acquisition of and/or construction on a lot or lots on which a residential dwelling is to be built. Construction loans to developers and investors have a higher risk profile because the ultimate buyer, once development is completed, is generally not known at the time of the loan. The commercial business loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial customers and consists of revolving lines of credit and loans partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The consumer loan segment consists primarily of stock-secured installment loans but also includes unsecured personal loans and overdraft lines of credit connected with customer deposit accounts.

Management uses a ten-point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, based on current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. All loans greater than three months past due are considered Substandard. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.
To help ensure that
risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured
loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans
are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as severe delinquency, bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to
raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for the timely and accurate
risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis. The Company’s Asset Review Committee performs
monthly reviews of all commercial relationships internally rated 6 (“Watch”) or worse. Confirmation of appropriate risk
grading is performed by an external loan review company that semi-annually reviews and assesses loans within the portfolio. Generally,
the external consultant reviews commercial relationships greater than $
The following tables present the classes of the loan portfolio by origination year summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful for loans subject to the Company’s internal risk rating system and by performing status for all other loans as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025:

Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the age of the portfolio as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due.

Individually Evaluated Loans
Management individually evaluates a loan when, based on current information and events, it is determined that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan contract.
The following tables provide detail on the Company’s loans individually evaluated by collateral type in the Company’s allowance for credit losses with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025:

Allowance for Credit Losses
An ACL is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio. Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ACL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ACL. As loans individually evaluated for impairment are promptly written down to their fair value, typically there is no portion of the ACL for individually evaluated loans.
19
The following tables set forth the allocation of the Bank’s ACL by loan category at the dates indicated. The portion of the ACL allocated to each loan category does not represent the total available for future losses which may occur within the loan category as the total allowance for credit losses is a valuation allocation applicable to the entire loan portfolio. The Company generally charges off the collateral or discounted cash flow deficiency on all loans at 90 days past due and all loans rated substandard or worse that are 90 days past due.

NOTE L - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps and interest rate floors and caps, as part of its interest rate risk management. Interest rate caps and floors are agreements whereby one party agrees to pay or receive a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount for a predetermined period of time if certain market interest rate thresholds are met. The Company considers the credit risk inherent in these contracts to be negligible. As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not hold any interest rate floors or collars.
The Company is a party to interest rate derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. Under a program, the Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial lending customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. These interest rate swaps with customers are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third-party financial institution, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. Because the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. The changes in the fair value of the swaps offset each other, except for the credit risk of the counterparties, which is determined by taking into consideration the risk rating, probability of default and loss given default for all counterparties and was not significant to the total fair value. The Company was not required to pledge any collateral for its interest rate swaps with financial institutions at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025.
The following table presents summary information regarding these derivatives as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025.

Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this filing and in future filings by the Company with the SEC, in the Company’s press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases, “anticipate,” “would be,” “will allow,” “intends to,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “projected,” “believes”, or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those risks previously disclosed by the Company in Item 1A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K as may be supplemented by Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, regulatory considerations, competition, technological developments, retention and recruitment of qualified personnel, and market acceptance of the Company’s pricing, products and services, levels of uninsured deposits, the imposition of tariffs or other domestic or international governmental policies and retaliatory responses, and with respect to the loans extended by the Company and real estate owned, the following: risks related to the economic environment in the market areas in which the Bank operates, particularly with respect to the real estate market in New Jersey; the risk that the value of the real estate securing these loans may decline in value; and the risk that significant expense may be incurred by the Company in connection with the resolution of these loans.
22
The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and advises readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and other risks of lending and investing activities, and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.
The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025
Total Assets. Total assets increased by $70.7 million, or 7.1%, to $1.068 billion at March 31, 2026 from $997.7 million at September 30, 2025. The increase was attributable to higher balances of cash and cash equivalents and loans receivable.
Interest Earning Deposits. Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $40.6 million, or 572.4% to $47.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $7.1 million at September 30, 2025 resulting from higher deposits, partially offset by higher loans receivable and investments.
Investment securities. Investment securities totaled $99.2 million at March 31, 2026, reflecting an increase of $10.7 million, or 12.1%, from $88.4 million at September 30, 2025. The increase resulted from purchases of mortgage-backed securities totaling $14.5 million, partially offset by payments from mortgage-backed securities totaling $3.8 million during the six months ended March 31, 2026. There was no credit losses recorded for the Company’s investment securities during the six months ended March 31, 2026.
Loans Receivable. Total loans receivable increased by $21.0 million, or 2.4%, to $879.9 million during the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $858.9 million at September 30, 2025. The increase in total loans receivable occurred in commercial real estate loans, which increased by $24.6 million, and in construction and land loans, which increased by $6.4 million. Partially offsetting these increases were one-to four-family residential real estate loans (including home equity lines of credit), which decreased by $9.5 million, commercial business loans, which decreased by $170 thousand and other loans, which decreased by $277 thousand.
Given the significance of commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans to our total loan portfolio, the following table further disaggregates these loans by occupied status and by collateral type as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025:

The Company obtains an appraisal of the real estate collateral securing a CRE loan prior to originating the loan. The appraised value is used to calculate the ratio of the outstanding loan balance to the value of the real estate collateral, or loan-to-value ratio ("LTV"). The original appraisal is used to monitor the LTVs within the CRE portfolio unless an updated appraisal is received, which may happen for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, payment delinquency, additional loan requests using the same collateral, and loan modifications. The following table presents the ranges in the LTVs of our CRE loans at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025:

As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans (as defined by regulatory guidance) to total risk-based capital were estimated at approximately 275% and 267%, respectively. Management believes that Magyar Bank has implemented appropriate risk management practices, including risk assessments, board-approved underwriting policies and related procedures, which include monitoring loan portfolio performance and stressing of the commercial real estate portfolio under adverse economic conditions.
Our asset quality with respect to commercial real estate loans has remained strong despite recent economic and market conditions. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, we had no non-performing commercial real estate loans.
Total non-performing loans decreased by $157 thousand, or 34.8%, to $294 thousand at March 31, 2026 from $451 thousand at September 30, 2025. Non-performing loans consisted of one loan secured by one-to four family property and one home equity line of credit. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 0.03% at March 31, 2026 from to 0.05% at September 30, 2025.
24
Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for on-balance sheet credit losses increased by $249 thousand to $8.6 million, or 0.98% of total loans receivable during the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared with $8.4 million at September 30, 2025, while the reserve for off-balance sheet commitments increased to $235 thousand at March 31, 2026 from $198 thousand at September 30, 2025. The higher provision for credit losses resulted from growth in loans receivable as well as higher specific reserves on construction loans, partially offset by lower expected loss rates driven by improving economic conditions impacting residential and commercial real estate loans.
Deposits. Total deposits increased by $64.1 million, or 7.9%, to $878.4 million at March 31, 2026 compared with $814.3 million at September 30, 2025. The inflow in deposits occurred in certificates of deposit (including individual retirement accounts), which increased by $28.1 million, or 13.4%, to $238.0 million, in non-interest bearing checking accounts, which increased by $16.5 million, or 14.1%, to $133.7 million, in money market accounts, which increased by $8.9 million, or 3.3%, to $277.8 million, in interest-bearing checking accounts, which increased by $7.8 million, or 4.8%, to $171.6 million, and in savings accounts, which increased by $2.8 million, or 5.2%, to $57.3 million.
The Company implemented a digital marketing campaign focused on the Bank's primary market area, targeting prospective customers with a competitive rate on short term certificates of deposit. The campaign produced positive results and was a contributor to the increase in deposits during the six months ended March 31, 2026.
Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased by $5.3 million, or 4.5%, to $124.1 million at March 31, 2026 from $118.8 million at September 30, 2025. The increase was due to the Company’s results from operations, partially offset by $0.18 in dividends paid and 10,925 shares repurchased during the six months ended March 31, 2026 at an average share price of $17.47. The Company’s book value per share increased to $19.19 at March 31, 2026 from $18.34 at September 30, 2025.
Average Balance Sheets for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
The following tables present certain information regarding the Company’s financial condition and net interest income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The tables present the annualized average yield on interest-earning assets and the annualized average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Net Income. Net income increased by $349 thousand, or 13.0%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with net income of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was due to higher net interest income, partially offset by higher provisions for credit loss, lower non-interest income and higher other expenses.
27
Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased by $1.4 million, or 17.2%, to $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to a 35-basis point increase in the Company’s net interest margin to 3.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 3.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as well as a $56.6 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets between the periods.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased by $1.4 million, or 10.6%, to $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to a 25-basis point increase in the yield on interest earning assets to 5.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 5.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as well as an increase in the average balance of net loans receivable between the periods.
The average balance of loans receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, increased by $65.3 million, or 8.1%, to $868.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $803.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, while the yield on loans receivable increased 23 basis points to 6.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 6.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Contributing to the increase in yield on loans receivable are commercial term loan rates adjusting on their five-year anniversary to market rates that are significantly higher than they were five years ago.
Interest earned on investment securities, including interest-earning deposits and excluding FHLB stock, decreased by $45 thousand, or 3.4%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The average balance of investment securities and interest-earning deposits decreased by $9.6 million, or 6.0%, to $150.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $159.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, while the average yield on such assets increased 11 basis points to 3.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 3.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $73 thousand, or 1.3%, to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $36.3 million, or 4.8%, to $795.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $758.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, while the average cost on such interest-bearing liabilities decreased 10 basis points to 2.92% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with 3.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Lower short-term market interest rates were primarily responsible for the lower cost of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $19.3 million, or 2.7%, to $746.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $726.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average cost of such deposits decreased 14 basis points to 2.89% from 3.03%, while the interest paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased $101 thousand to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Interest expense on borrowings increased by $174 thousand, or 78.0%, to $397 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $223 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average balance of borrowings increased by $16.9 million, or 52.7%, to $49.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $32.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 while the average cost of the borrowings increased by 47 basis points to 3.28% from 2.81%, respectively.
Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses increased by $286 thousand, or 953.3%, to $256 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with a $30 thousand net recovery for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The higher provision for credit losses resulted from higher commercial real estate and construction loan balances, which generally require higher provisions for credit loss, that more than offset contraction in the Company’s residential mortgage loan portfolio.
The Company recorded $3 thousand in net loan recoveries during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with $5 thousand in net loan recoveries during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Other Income. Other income decreased by $411 thousand, or 32.4%, to $857 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from lower gains on the sale of loans and lower service charge income.
The Company recorded lower gains from the sale of Small Business Administration 7(a) loans, which decreased by $343 thousand to $269 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $612 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Contributing to the lower gains were fewer loans sold as well as lower premiums on the sales of loans. The Company sold $2.8 million in loans during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with sales totaling $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
28
Also contributing to the decline in other income was a $93 thousand decline in service charges, which included commercial loan prepayment charges and late fees. The Company recorded $196 thousand in prepayment and late fees during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with $260 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Commercial loan prepayment penalties are highly unpredictable in both amount and timing, as they are dependent upon our borrower’s ability and intent to repay their loan before its scheduled rate reset date or maturity date, whichever occurs sooner. Late fees on commercial loans are also highly unpredictable in amount and timing, as they accumulate until paid, which may occur when a loan is repaid in full.
Other Expenses. Other expenses increased by $167 thousand, or 3.1%, to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from higher compensation, employee benefit and data processing expenses.
The increase in total other expenses was primarily attributable to higher compensation and benefit expense, which increased by $137 thousand, or 4.2%, to $3.4 million, due to higher medical benefits and incentive accruals as well as annual merit increases. Data processing expenses increased by $40 thousand, or 32.8%, to $162 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $122 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to the use of expiring flex credits from the Company’s core service provider during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.2 million on pre-tax income of $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $1.1 million on pre-tax income of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven by higher pre-tax income during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 29.0%.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Net Income. Net income increased by $1.4 million, or 29.4%, to $6.2 million during the six months period ended March 31, 2026 compared with $4.8 million for the six months period ended March 31, 2025. The increase was due to higher net interest income, partially offset by higher provisions for credit loss, lower other income, and higher other expenses.
Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased by $2.8 million, or 18.1%, to $18.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $15.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to a $59.5 million, or 6.3%, increase in the average balance of interest earning assets between the periods as well as a 36 basis points increase in the Company’s net interest margin to 3.63% for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from 3.27% for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased by $3.1 million, or 11.7%, to $29.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $26.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to a 28 basis points increase in the yield on interest earning assets to 5.92% for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from 5.64% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, as well as an increase in the average balance of net loans receivable.
The average balance of loans receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, increased by $67.9 million, or 8.5%, to $862.5 million during the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $794.6 million during the six months ended March 31, 2025, while the yield on loans receivable increased 25 basis points to 6.31% for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from 6.06% for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The higher average balance and yield accounted for a $3.1 million, or 13.0%, increase in loan interest income between periods.
Interest earned on investment securities, including interest-earning deposits and excluding FHLBNY stock, decreased by $60 thousand, or 2.6%, to $2.26 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $2.32 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The average balance of investment securities and interest-earning deposits decreased by $9.3 million, or 6.5%, to $134.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $143.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. Partially offsetting this decrease was a 14 basis point increase in the yield of such assets to 3.39% for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from 3.25% for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $313 thousand, or 2.8%, to $11.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared with $11.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $44.8 million, or 6.1%, to $779.1 million from $734.3 million, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased nine basis points to 2.94% for the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared with 3.03% for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
29
The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $26.6 million, or 3.8%, to $730.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $703.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, while the average cost of such deposits decreased 12 basis points to 2.92% from 3.04%. As a result, interest paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased by $59 thousand, or 0.6%, to $10.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $10.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Interest expense on borrowings increased by $372 thousand, or 86.3%, to $803 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $431 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The cost of borrowings increased 48 basis points to 3.28% for the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared with 2.80% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, while the average balance of borrowings increased by $18.3 million, or 59.2%, to $49.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $30.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses increased by $209 thousand, or 294.4%, to $280 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared with $71 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The higher provision for credit losses resulted from higher specific reserves on construction loans, partially offset by lower expected loss rates driven by improving economic conditions impacting residential and commercial real estate loans.
The Company recorded $6 thousand in net loan recoveries during the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared with $108 thousand in net loan recoveries during the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Other Income. Other income decreased by $606 thousand, or 27.2%, to $1.6 million during the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025 from lower gains on the sale of Small Business Administration and other real estate owned loans.
The Company recorded lower gains from the sale of Small Business Administration 7(a) and other real estate owned loans, which decreased $321 thousand and $237 thousand, respectively. Contributing to the lower gains were fewer loans sold as well as lower premiums on the sales of loans. The Company sold $6.2 million Small Business Administration loans during the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared with sales totaling $9.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The Company recorded a loss of $13 thousand on the sale of other real estate owned for the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared with a $224 thousand gain for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Also contributing to the decline in other income was an $84 thousand decline in service charges, The Company recorded $93 thousand in late fees during the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared with $164 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Other Expenses. Other expenses increased by $76 thousand, or 0.7%, to $10.9 million during the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $10.8 million during the six months ended March 31, 2025 from higher compensation, employee benefit and data processing expenses.
The increase in total other expenses was primarily attributable to higher compensation and benefit expense, which increased by $225 thousand, or 3.6%, to $3.4 million, due to higher medical benefits and incentive accruals as well as annual merit increases. Data processing expenses increased by $106 thousand, or 49.8%, to $319 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $213 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025 from the use of expiring flex credits for the Bank’s core service provider during the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Partially offsetting these increases was a $178 thousand, or 9.7%, decrease in occupancy expenses to $1.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $1.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. Rent and the depreciation of leasehold improvements decreased by $226 thousand between periods from the closure of the Bank’s Bridgewater retail office and subsequent opening of its Martinsville retail office. Partially offsetting these savings were higher ice and snow removal expenses, which increased by $38 thousand between periods.
Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded tax expense of $2.4 million on pre-tax income of $8.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.9 million on pre-tax income of $6.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in income tax expense was driven by higher pre-tax income during the six months ended March 31, 2026. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was 27.8% compared with 28.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
