Insights
TL;DR: Net interest income and deposit growth lifted earnings; efficiency and securities positions remain key near-term focus areas.
Quarterly results show meaningful operating leverage from higher interest income: net interest and dividend income increased to $17.64 million driven by interest income rising to $29.61 million while interest expense moderated slightly. Net income and EPS improved materially versus the prior-year quarter. Deposit balances and cash increased, supporting liquidity. However, noninterest expense increased to $15.66 million and comprehensive income was affected by sizable unrealized losses within the securities portfolio, though those unrealized losses improved versus year-end. Overall the quarter is constructive for core banking performance, with continued attention warranted on expense control and securities valuation dynamics.
TL;DR: Credit metrics are stable with modest recoveries; allowance levels remained largely consistent despite loan growth.
The company recorded a reversal of credit losses of $473,000 for the six months and reported net recoveries of $556,000, including a $624,000 recovery on a previously charged-off commercial relationship. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $19.73 million while gross loans grew modestly to $2.090 billion. Nonaccrual loans were $5.75 million (0.27% of total loans) and past-due loans decreased as a percentage of total loans versus year-end. These indicators point to stable credit performance, though ongoing monitoring of loan mix and macroeconomic drivers is appropriate given exposure to commercial real estate and mortgage portfolios.

WESTERN NEW ENGLAND BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JUNE 30, 2025
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation. Western New England Bancorp, Inc. (“WNEB,” “Company,” “we,” or “us”) is a Massachusetts-chartered stock holding company for Westfield Bank, a federally-chartered savings bank (“Bank”).
The
Bank operates
Wholly-owned Subsidiaries. Elm Street Securities Corporation, WFD Securities, Inc. and CSB Colts, Inc., are Massachusetts-chartered securities corporations, formed for the primary purpose of holding qualified securities. WB Real Estate Holdings, LLC is a Massachusetts-chartered limited liability company that holds real property acquired as security for debts previously contracted by the Bank.
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Western New England Bancorp, Inc., the Bank, CSB Colts, Inc., Elm Street Securities Corporation, WB Real Estate Holdings, LLC and WFD Securities, Inc. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 for each. Actual results could differ from those estimates. An estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses.
Basis of Presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition as of June 30, 2025, and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2025. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”).
Reclassifications. Amounts in the prior period financial statements are reclassified when necessary to conform to the current year presentation.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. If rights to dividends on unvested awards are non-forfeitable, these unvested awards are considered outstanding in the computation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by us relate to stock options and certain performance-based restricted stock awards and are determined using the treasury stock method. Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations. There were no anti-dilutive shares outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been computed based on the following:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||||||

3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income (loss).
The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss included in shareholders’ equity are as follows:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| (Dollars in thousands) | ||||||||
| Net unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale | $ | ( | ) | $ | ( | ) | ||

There were no gross realized gains or losses on sales of securities available-for-sale for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. There were no sales of available-for-sale securities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Securities Available-for-Sale
The
Company measures expected credit losses on debt securities available-for-sale based upon the gain or loss position of the security.
For debt securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position which the Company does not intend to sell, and it is not
more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the Company’s amortized cost,
the Company evaluates qualitative criteria to determine any expected loss. This includes among other items the financial health
of, and specific prospects for the issuer, including whether the issuer is in compliance with the terms and covenants of the security.
The Company also evaluates quantitative criteria including determining whether there has been an adverse change in expected future
cash flows of the security. Securities available-for-sale which are guaranteed by government agencies do not currently have an
allowance for credit loss as the Company determined these securities are either backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government and/or there is an unconditional commitment to make interest payments and to return the principal investment in full
to investors when a debt security reaches maturity. In assessing the Company's investments in government-sponsored and U.S. government
guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and government-sponsored enterprise obligations, the contractual cash flows of these investments
are guaranteed by the respective government-sponsored enterprise; Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”),
Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), Federal Farm Credit Bank (“FFCB”), or Federal Home Loan
Bank (“FHLB”). Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value
of the Company's investments. The Company will evaluate this position no less than annually, however, certain items which may
cause the Company to change this methodology include legislative changes that remove a government-sponsored enterprise’s
ability to draw funds from the U.S. government, or legislative changes to housing policy that reduce or eliminate the U.S. government’s
implicit guarantee on such securities. Accrued interest receivable on securities available-for-sale guaranteed by government agencies
totaled $
11
Allowance for Credit Losses – Securities Held-to-Maturity
The
Company measures expected credit losses on debt securities held-to-maturity on a collective basis by security type and risk rating
where available. The reserve for each pool is calculated based on a Probability of Default/Loss Given Default basis taking into
consideration the expected life of each security. Held-to-maturity securities which are issued by the United States Treasury or
are guaranteed by government agencies do not currently have an allowance for credit loss as the Company determined these securities
are either backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and/or there is an unconditional commitment to make interest
payments and to return the principal investment in full to investors when a debt security reaches maturity. In assessing the Company's
investments in government-sponsored and U.S. government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and government-sponsored enterprise
obligations, the contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by the respective government-sponsored enterprise;
FHLMC, FNMA, FFCB, or FHLB. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par
value of the Company's investments. The Company will evaluate this position no less than annually, however, certain items which
may cause the Company to change this methodology include legislative changes that remove a government-sponsored enterprise’s
ability to draw funds from the U.S. government, or legislative changes to housing policy that reduce or eliminate the U.S. government’s
implicit guarantee on such securities. Any expected credit losses on securities held-to-maturity would be presented as an allowance
for credit loss. Accrued interest receivable on securities held-to-maturity totaled $
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was one available-for-sale corporate bond that was rated below investment grade by one or more ratings agencies. The Company reviewed the financial strength of the corporate bond rated below investment grade at June 30, 2025 and has concluded that the amortized cost remains supported by the expected future cash flows of the securities.
The following tables summarize the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company's securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity, segregated by the duration of their continuous unrealized loss positions at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The Company expects to recover its amortized cost basis on all securities in its available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to sell, nor does it anticipate that it will be required to sell any of its securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2025, prior to this anticipated recovery. The decline in fair value on its available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions and not due to credit quality issues. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the securities and the fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity. The Company’s ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery is supported by the Company’s stable capital and liquidity positions as well as its historically low portfolio turnover. The following description provides the number of investment positions in an unrealized loss position:
At
June 30, 2025, the Company reported gross unrealized losses on the securities available-for-sale portfolio of $

Loans Serviced for Others.
The Company
has transferred a portion of its originated commercial loans to participating lenders. The amounts transferred have been accounted
for as sales and are therefore not included in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We continue to service the loans
on behalf of the participating lenders. We share with participating lenders, on a pro-rata basis, any gains or losses that may
result from a borrower’s lack of compliance with contractual terms of the loan. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
the Company was servicing commercial loans participated out to various other institutions totaling $
Residential
real estate mortgages are originated by the Company both for its portfolio and for sale into the secondary market. The Company
may sell its loans to institutional investors such as the FHLMC. Under loan sale and servicing agreements with the investor, the
Company generally continues to service the residential real estate mortgages. The Company pays the investor an agreed upon rate
on the loan, which is less than the interest rate received from the borrower. The Company retains the difference as a fee for
servicing the residential real estate mortgages. The Company capitalizes mortgage servicing rights at their fair value upon sale
of the related loans, amortizes the asset over the estimated life of the serviced loan, and periodically assesses the asset for
impairment. The significant assumptions used by a third party to estimate the fair value of capitalized servicing rights at June
30, 2025, include weighted average prepayment speed for the portfolio using the Public Securities Association Standard Prepayment
Model (

Loans are recorded at the principal amount outstanding, adjusted for charge-offs, unearned premiums and deferred loan fees and costs. Interest on loans is calculated using the effective yield method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding and is credited to income on the accrual basis to the extent it is deemed collectable. Our general policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest when principal or interest payments are delinquent 90 days or more based on the contractual terms of the loan, or earlier if there are concerns regarding the collectability of the loan. Any unpaid amounts previously accrued on these loans are reversed from income. Subsequent cash receipts are applied to the outstanding principal balance or to interest income if, in the judgment of management, collection of the principal balance is not in question. Loans are returned to accrual status when they become current as to both principal and interest and perform in accordance with contractual terms for a period of at least six months, reducing the concern as to the collectability of principal and interest. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the estimated average lives of the related loans.
Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”).
The allowance
for credit losses is an estimate of expected losses inherent within the Company’s existing loans held for investment portfolio.
The allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment, as reported in our consolidated balance sheet, is adjusted by a
credit loss expense, which is reported in earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries. Accrued
interest receivable on loans held for investment was $
The loan loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of loan portfolio segments, which consist of commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and consumer loans. These segments are further disaggregated into loan classes, the level at which credit risk is monitored. For each of these pools, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speed, curtailments, time to recovery, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds, curtailment rates, and time to recovery are based on historical internal data. The quantitative component of the ACL on loans is model-based and utilizes a forward-looking macroeconomic forecast. For commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans, and commercial and industrial loans, the Company uses a discounted cash flow method, incorporating probability of default and loss given default forecasted based on statistically derived economic variable loss drivers, to estimate expected credit losses. This process includes estimates which involve modeling loss projections attributable to existing loan balances, and considering historical experience, current conditions, and future expectations for pools of loans over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. The historical information either experienced by the Company or by a selection of peer banks, when appropriate, is derived from a combination of recessionary and non-recessionary performance periods for which data is available. The expected loss estimates for the consumer loan segment are based on historical loss rates using the weighted average remaining maturity (“WARM”) method.
15
Commercial real estate loans. Loans in this segment include owner occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate, multi-family dwellings, and income producing investment properties, as well as commercial construction loans for commercial development projects throughout New England. Typically, commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, apartment buildings, industrial properties, warehouses, retail facilities, hotels, assisted living facilities, and educational facilities. Collateral values are established by independent third-party appraisals and evaluations. Primary repayment sources for commercial real estate loans include operating income and cash flow generated by the real estate, sale of the real estate and, funds from any liquidation of the collateral. Under its lending guidelines, the Company generally requires a corporate or personal guarantee from individuals that hold material ownership in the borrowing entity. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties or operations can be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy due to increased vacancy rates or diminished cash flows, which in turn, would have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. The Company’s management (“Management”) obtains financial information annually and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.
Residential
real estate loans. This portfolio segment consists of first mortgages secured by one-to-four family residential properties
and home equity loans and home equity lines secured by first or second mortgage on one-to-four family owner occupied properties.
First mortgages may be underwritten to a maximum loan-to-value of
Commercial and industrial loans. The primary risk associated with commercial and industrial loans is the ability of borrowers to achieve business results and cash flows consistent with those projected at loan origination. Collateral frequently consists of a first lien position on business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment. The primary repayment source is operating cash flow, followed by liquidation of assets. Under its lending guidelines, the Company generally requires a corporate or personal guarantee from individuals that hold material ownership in the borrowing entity. A weakened economy and resultant decreased consumer spending will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
Consumer loans. Loans in this segment are both secured and unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.
Allowance for Credit Losses Methodology
In estimating the component of the allowance for credit losses for loans that share similar risk characteristics with other loans, such loans are segregated into loan classes. Loans are designated into loan classes based on loans pooled by product types and similar risk characteristics or areas of risk concentration. In determining the allowance for credit losses, we derive an estimated credit loss assumption from a model that categorizes loan pools based on loan type and purpose.
16
The discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model calculates an expected loss percentage for each loan class by considering the probability of default, using life-of-loan analysis periods for the commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, residential real estate loan segments, and the historical severity of loss, based on the aggregate net lifetime losses incurred per loan class. The expected loss estimates for the consumer loan segment are based on historical loss rates using the remaining life method. The default and severity factors used to calculate the allowance for credit losses for loans that share similar risk characteristics with other loans are adjusted for differences between the historical period used to calculate historical default and loss severity rates and expected conditions over the remaining lives of the loans in the portfolio related to: (1) lending policies and procedures; (2) international, national, regional and local economic business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio; (3) the nature and volume of the loan portfolio including the terms of the loans; (4) the experience, ability, and depth of the lending management and other relevant staff; (5) the volume and severity of past due and adversely classified loans and the volume of nonaccrual loans; (6) the quality of our loan review system and (7) the value of underlying collateral for collateralized loans. Additional factors include the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations and the effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio. Such factors are used to adjust the historical probabilities of default and severity of loss so that they reflect management expectation of future conditions based on a reasonable and supportable forecast. The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine which variables are best suited to be economic variables utilized when modeling lifetime probability of default and loss given default. This analysis also determines how the expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the economic variables.
For all DCF models, management has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over four quarters on a straight-line basis. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts are also considered by management when developing the forecast metrics.
The Company uses a WARM method to estimate the ACL for the consumer loan segment. Under this method, the historical average annual charge-off rate is applied to the weighted average remaining maturity of the loan portfolio, currently calculated at 2.5 years. This calculation is adjusted based on additional factors that include (1) lending policies and procedures; (2) international, national, regional and local economic business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio; (3) the nature and volume of the loan portfolio including the terms of the loans; (4) the experience, ability, and depth of the lending management and other relevant staff; (5) the volume and severity of past due and adversely classified loans and the volume of nonaccrual loans; (6) the quality of our loan review system and (7) the value of underlying collateral for collateralized loans.
Individually evaluated financial assets
For a loan that does not share risk characteristics with other loans, expected credit loss is measured based on net realizable value, that is, the difference between the discounted value of the expected future cash flows, based on the original effective interest rate, and the amortized cost basis of the loan. For these loans, we recognize expected credit loss equal to the amount by which the net realizable value of the loan is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan (which is net of previous charge-offs and deferred loan fees and costs), except when the loan is collateral dependent, that is, when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. In these cases, expected credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the collateral. The fair value of the collateral is adjusted for the estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale (rather than only on the operation) of the collateral.
Allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments
The Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses from off-balance-sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments, which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet. Management estimates the amount of expected losses by calculating a commitment usage factor over the contractual period for exposures that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company and applying the loss factors used in the ACL methodology to the results of the usage calculation to estimate the liability for credit losses related to unfunded commitments for each loan type. No credit loss estimate is reported for outstanding off-balance-sheet credit exposures that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as credit loss expense. Categories of off-balance sheet credit exposures correspond to the loan portfolio segments described above. Management evaluates the need for a reserve on unfunded loan commitments in a manner consistent with loans held for investment.

During the
six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a reversal of credit losses of $
The Company
recorded net recoveries of $
The decrease in the reversal of credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to net recoveries of previously charged-off commercial loans, as well as changes in the loan mix and economic environment and related adjustments to the quantitative components of the CECL methodology. The provision for credit losses was determined by a number of factors: the continued strong credit performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, changes in the loan portfolio mix and Management’s consideration of existing economic conditions and the economic outlook from the Federal Reserve’s actions to control inflation. Management continues to monitor macroeconomic variables related to increasing interest rates, tariffs, inflation and the concerns of an economic downturn, and believes it is appropriately reserved for the current economic environment and supportable forecast period.

Nonaccrual Loans.
Accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued when contractual payment of principal or interest becomes past due 90 days or, if in management’s judgment, reasonable doubt exists as to the full timely collection of interest. Exceptions may be made if the loan has matured and is in the process of renewal or is well-secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected accrued interest is reversed and charged against current interest income. Interest payments on nonaccrual loans are generally applied to principal. If collection of the principal is reasonably assured, interest payments are recognized as income on the cash basis. Loans are generally returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are current, full collectability of principal and interest is reasonably assured and a consistent record of at least six consecutive months of performance has been achieved.

Individually Evaluated Collateral Dependent Loans.
Loans that
do not share similar risk characteristics with loans that are pooled into portfolio segments are individually evaluated. A loan
is considered collateral dependent when, based on current information and events, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty
and repayment, both principal and interest, is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.
Loans that are rated Substandard, have a loan-to-value above

Modified Loans to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty.
The Company will modify the contractual terms of loans to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a way to mitigate loss and comply with regulations regarding bankruptcy and discharge situations. Loans are designated as modified when, as part of an agreement to modify the original contractual terms of the loan as a result of financial difficulties of the borrower, the Company grants the borrower a concession on the terms that would not otherwise be considered. Typically, such concessions may consist of a reduction in interest rate to a below market rate, taking into account the credit quality of the note, extension of additional credit based on receipt of adequate collateral, or a deferment or reduction of payments (principal or interest) which materially alters the Company’s position or significantly extends the note’s maturity date, such that the present value of cash flows to be received is materially less than those contractually established at the loan’s origination.
There were no loan modifications granted based on borrower financial difficulty during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no modified loans defaulted (defined as 30 days or more past due) within 12 months of restructuring. There were no charge-offs on modified loans during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.
Credit Quality Information.
The Company monitors the credit quality of its loan portfolio by using internal risk ratings that are based on regulatory guidance. 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 utilizes an eight-grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans.
23
The grades assigned and definitions are as follows: loans graded excellent, above average, good are classified as “Pass” for grading purposes (risk ratings 1-4). All loans risk rated Special Mention (5), Substandard (6), Doubtful (7) and Loss (8) are listed on the Company’s criticized report and are reviewed not less than on a quarterly basis to assess the level of risk and to ensure that appropriate actions are being taken to minimize potential loss exposure. In addition, the Company closely monitors classified loans, defined as Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss for signs of deterioration to mitigate the growth in nonaccrual loans, including performing additional due diligence, updating valuations and requiring additional financial reporting from the borrower. Loans identified as containing a loss are partially charged-off or fully charged-off. Performing residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans are grouped with “Pass” rated loans. Nonaccrual residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans are risk rated as “Substandard” and individually evaluated.
Loans rated 1 – 4: Loans rated 1-4 are classified as “Pass” and have quality metrics to support that the loan will be repaid according to the terms established and are not subject to adverse criticism as defined in regulatory guidance. Pass loans exhibit characteristics that represent acceptable risk and are not considered problem loans.
Loans rated 5: Loans rated 5 are classified as “Special Mention” and have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. Special mention loans are currently performing but with potential weaknesses including adverse trends in borrower’s operations, credit quality, financial strength, or possible collateral deficiency. Loans in this category are currently protected based on collateral and repayment capacity and do not constitute undesirable credit risk, but have potential weakness that may result in deterioration of the repayment process at some future date. Special Mention loans do not sufficiently expose the Company to warrant adverse classification.
Loans rated 6: Loans rated 6 are classified as “Substandard” and have an identified definitive weakness which may make full collection of contractual cash flows questionable and/or jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.
Loans rated 7: Loans rated 7 are classified as “Doubtful” and have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation of the loan highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of some loss is extremely high, but because of specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
Loans rated 8: Loans rated 8 are classified a “Loss” and are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for credit losses. The loss classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset because recovery and collection time may be affected in the future.

6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Goodwill
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill was $12.5 million. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of a business combination over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but rather assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances warrant. Management has the option of first assessing qualitative factors, such as events and circumstances, to determine whether it is more likely than not, meaning a likelihood of more than 50%, the value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after considering all relevant events and circumstances, management determines it is not more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing an impairment test is unnecessary. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s goodwill was related to the acquisition of Chicopee Bancorp, Inc. in October 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, management determined that it was not more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. If management had determined otherwise, a fair value analysis would have been completed to determine the impairment and necessary write-down of goodwill.

On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) approves long-term incentive awards out of the 2021 Omnibus Plan, whereby shares will be granted to eligible participants of the Company that are nominated by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Committee, with vesting over a three-year term for employees and a one-year term for directors. Annual employee grants provide for a periodic award that is both performance and time-based and is designed to recognize the executive’s responsibilities, reward performance and leadership and as a retention tool. The objective of the award is to align compensation for the named executive officers and directors over a multi-year period directly with the interests of our shareholders by motivating and rewarding creation and preservation of long-term financial strength, shareholder value and relative shareholder return.

8. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
On
a long-term basis, the Company intends to continue to increase its core deposits to fund loan growth. The Company also uses FHLB
borrowings as part of the Company's overall strategy to manage interest rate risk and liquidity risk. FHLB advances are secured
by a blanket security agreement which requires the Company to maintain certain qualifying assets as collateral, principally certain
residential real estate loans and commercial real estate loans and securities, not otherwise pledged. The maximum amount that
the FHLB will advance to member institutions, including the Company, fluctuates from time to time in accordance with the policies
of the FHLB. As an FHLB member, the Company is required to own capital stock of the FHLB, calculated periodically based primarily
on its level of borrowings from the FHLB. Advances are made under several different credit programs with different lending standards,
interest rates and range of maturities. The Company’s relationship with the FHLB is an integral component of the Company’s
asset-liability management program. At June 30, 2025, the Company pledged $

10. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives.
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we entered into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash receipts and our known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate loan assets and variable rate borrowings.
Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk.
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain pools of fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. The Company's interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for the Company receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income.
In
October of 2024, $
Non-hedging Derivatives.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative, but rather result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes loan-level derivative products such as interest-rate swap agreements with commercial banking customers to aid them in managing their interest-rate risk by converting floating-rate loan payments to fixed-rate loan payments. The Company concurrently enters into offsetting swaps with a third-party financial institution, effectively minimizing the Company’s net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. The third-party financial institution exchanges the customer's fixed-rate loan payments for floating-rate loan payments. As the interest-rate swap agreements associated with this program do not meet hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value are recognized directly in earnings.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
By using derivative financial instruments, we expose ourselves to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk of failure by the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, it does not possess credit risk. The credit risk in derivative instruments is mitigated by entering into transactions with highly-rated counterparties that we believe to be creditworthy and by limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty.
We have agreements with our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if we default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. We also have agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if we fail to maintain our status as well capitalized, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and we would be required to settle our obligations under the agreements. Certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if a formal administrative action by a federal or state regulatory agency occurs that materially changes our creditworthiness in an adverse manner, we may be required to fully collateralize our obligations under the derivative instrument.
At June 30, 2025, we had minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of our derivative counterparties. As of June 30, 2025, we were not required to post collateral under these agreements because we did not have any derivatives in a liability position with those counterparties.
11. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Determination of Fair Value.
We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is 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 based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for our various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
Methods and assumptions for valuing our financial instruments are set forth below. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the value without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction cost.
Securities. The securities measured at fair value in Level 1 are based on quoted market prices in an active exchange market. All other securities are measured at fair value in Level 2 and are based on pricing models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data. These securities include government-sponsored enterprise obligations, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, residential mortgage-backed securities guaranteed and sponsored by the U.S. government or an agency thereof. Fair value measurements are obtained from a third-party pricing service and are not adjusted by management.
Interest rate swaps. The valuation of our interest rate swaps is obtained from a third-party pricing service and is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The pricing analysis is based on observable inputs for the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate curves. We have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our interest rate derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers to or from Level 1 and 2 for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis.
We may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following tables summarize the fair value hierarchy used to determine the carrying values of the related assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The amount of impaired loans represents the carrying value, net of the related write-down or valuation allowance of collateral dependent loans for which adjustments are based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of collateral dependent loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on real estate appraisals performed by independent licensed or certified appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Management will discount appraisals as deemed necessary based on the date of the appraisal and new information deemed relevant to the valuation. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280), which expands segment disclosure requirements for public entities to require disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. It also requires companies to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. This ASU, as amended, became effective for the Company in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 (see Note 13 – Segment) and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, this ASU, as amended, will be effective for interim periods beginning in 2025 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. On an annual basis, entities must disclose: (1) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign; and (2) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid, net of refunds received, for amounts equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. Further, the amendments also require entities to disclose: (1) income or loss from continued operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign sources; and (2) income or loss from continued operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign sources. This ASU, as amended, is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular form, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for the Company, on a prospective basis, for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

13. SEGMENT
The Company operates as a single reportable segment under ASC 280, as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews financial performance and allocates resources based on the consolidated results of the Company as a whole. The Company, through its bank subsidiary, provides banking services to individuals and companies primarily in Hampden County and Hampshire County in western Massachusetts and Hartford County and Tolland County in northern Connecticut. These services include commercial lending, residential lending and consumer lending, checking, savings, time deposits, cash management, and wealth management. The CODM primarily evaluates performance using net interest income and net income as reported in the consolidated statement of income. The Company’s primary measure of profitability is net interest and dividend income. Net interest and dividend income is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets consist primarily of commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, residential real estate loans and securities. Interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of time deposits and money market accounts, demand deposits, savings accounts and borrowings from the FHLB. The consolidated results of operations also depend on the provision for credit losses, non-interest income, and non-interest expense. In addition, the CODM considers net income as a key measure of overall financial performance. The Company’s CODM consists of members of the Senior Management team, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Banking Officer and the Chief Lending Officer.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview.
We strive to remain a leader in meeting the financial service needs of the local community and to provide quality service to the individuals and businesses in the market areas that we have served since 1853. Historically, we have been a community-oriented provider of traditional banking products and services to business organizations and individuals, including products such as residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, consumer loans and a variety of deposit products. We meet the needs of our local community through a community-based and service-oriented approach to banking.
We have adopted a growth-oriented strategy that continues to focus on increasing commercial lending and residential lending. Our strategy also calls for increasing deposit relationships, specifically core deposits (defined below), and broadening our product lines and services. We believe that this business strategy is best for our long-term success and viability, and complements our existing commitment to high-quality customer service.
In connection with our overall growth strategy, we seek to:
| ● | Increase market share and achieve scale to improve the Company’s profitability and efficiency and return value to shareholders; |
| ● | Grow the Company’s commercial loan portfolio and related commercial deposits by targeting businesses in our primary market area of Hampden and Hampshire Counties in western Massachusetts and Hartford and Tolland Counties in northern Connecticut to increase the net interest margin and loan income; |
| ● | Supplement the Company’s commercial portfolio by growing the Company’s residential real estate portfolio to diversify the Company’s loan portfolio and deepen customer relationships; |
| ● | Focus on expanding our retail banking deposit franchise and increase the number of households served within our designated market area; |
| ● | Invest in people, systems and technology to grow revenue, improve efficiency and enhance the overall customer experience; |
| ● | Grow revenues, increase book value per share and tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP financial measure), pay competitive dividends to shareholders and utilize the Company’s stock repurchase plan to leverage our capital and enhance franchise value; and |
| ● | Consider growth through acquisitions. We may pursue expansion opportunities in existing or adjacent strategic locations with companies that add complementary products to our existing business and at terms that add value to our existing shareholders. |
You should read the following financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 in the context of this strategy.
| ● | Net income was $4.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $6.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $6.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. |
| ● | Net interest income increased $3.2 million, or 21.9%, to $17.6 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in interest and dividend income of $2.8 million, or 10.5%, and a decrease in interest expense of $362,000, or 2.9%. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $425,000 in prepayment penalties related to payoffs in the commercial portfolio. The increase in interest income was primarily due to a $129.4 million, or 5.4%, increase in average interest-earning assets and a 20 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, from the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the three months ended June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, net interest income increased $3.4 million, or 11.3%, to $33.2 million, compared to $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in interest income of $4.6 million, or 8.7%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.3 million, or 5.4%. |
41
| ● | During the three months ended June, 30, 2025, the Company recorded a reversal of credit losses of $615,000, compared to a reversal of credit losses of $294,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The reversal of credit losses recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was a result of a recovery in the amount of $624,000 on a previously charged-off commercial relationship acquired on October 21, 2016 from Chicopee Bancorp, Inc. As of June 30, 2025, the relationship has been paid in full and the Company does not expect to charge-off or recover any additional funds from the borrower. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a reversal of credit losses of $473,000, compared to a reversal of credit losses of $844,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to changes in the loan mix as well as economic environment and related adjustments to the quantitative components of the CECL methodology. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures, and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2025. For additional information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to the information contained in Note 1 of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2025 AND DECEMBER 31, 2024
At June 30, 2025, total assets were $2.7 billion, an increase of $58.1 million, or 2.2%, from December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase in total gross loans of $22.1 million, or 1.1%, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $26.9 million, or 40.4%, and an increase in investment securities of $10.8 million, or 2.9%.
Investment Securities.
At June 30, 2025, the investment securities portfolio totaled $376.9 million, or 13.9% of total assets, compared to $366.1 million, or 13.8% of total assets, at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio, recorded at fair market value, increased $18.1 million, or 11.3%, from $160.7 million at December 31, 2024 to $178.8 million. The held-to-maturity securities portfolio, recorded at amortized cost, decreased $7.4 million, or 3.6%, from $205.0 million at December 31, 2024 to $197.7 million at June 30, 2025.
At June 30, 2025, the Company reported unrealized losses on the available-for-sale securities portfolio of $26.6 million, or 12.9% of the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale securities portfolio, compared to unrealized losses of $31.2 million, or 16.2% of the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the Company reported unrealized losses on the held-to-maturity securities portfolio of $35.4 million, or 17.8% of the amortized cost basis of the held-to-maturity securities portfolio, compared to $39.4 million, or 19.2% of the amortized cost basis of the held-to-maturity securities portfolio at December 31, 2024.
42
The securities in which the Company may invest are limited by regulation. Federally chartered savings banks have authority to invest in various types of assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured financial institutions, repurchase agreements, overnight and short-term loans to other banks, corporate debt instruments and marketable equity securities. The securities, with the exception of $8.7 million in corporate bonds, are issued by the United States government or government-sponsored enterprises and are therefore either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed as to the timely payment of contractual principal and interest. These positions are deemed to have no credit impairment, therefore, the disclosed unrealized losses with the securities portfolio relate primarily to changes in prevailing interest rates. In all cases, price improvement in future periods will be realized as the issuances approach maturity.
Management regularly reviews the portfolio for securities in an unrealized loss position. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not record any credit impairment charges on its securities portfolio and attributed the unrealized losses primarily due to fluctuations in general interest rates or changes in expected prepayments and not due to credit quality. The primary objective of the Company’s investment portfolio is to provide liquidity and to secure municipal deposit accounts while preserving the safety of principal. The available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios are both eligible for pledging to the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) as collateral for borrowings. The portfolios are comprised of high-credit quality investments and both portfolios generated cash flows monthly from interest, principal amortization and payoffs, which support’s the Bank's objective to provide liquidity.
Loans.
Total gross loans increased $22.1 million, or 1.1%, from $2.1 billion, or 77.9% of total assets, at December 31, 2024 to $2.1 billion, or 77.1% of total assets, at June 30, 2025. The increase in total gross loans was primarily driven by an increase in residential real estate loans, including home equity loans, of $29.7 million, or 3.8%, and an increase in commercial and industrial loans of $22.8 million, or 10.8%. The increase in commercial and industrial loans was partially due to an increase in line of credit utilization, from 21.9% at December 31, 2024 to 26.1% at June 30, 2025. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in commercial real estate loans of $29.5 million, or 2.7%, and a decrease in consumer loans of $879,000, or 20.0%.
Total delinquency was $3.9 million, or 0.18% of total loans, at June 30, 2025, compared to $5.0 million, or 0.24% of total loans at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, nonaccrual loans totaled $5.8 million, or 0.27% of total loans, compared to $5.4 million, or 0.26% of total loans, at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no loans 90 or more days past due and still accruing interest. Total nonaccrual assets totaled $5.8 million, or 0.21% of total assets, at June 30, 2025, compared to $5.4 million, or 0.20% of total assets, at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any other real estate owned.
At June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses was $19.7 million, or 0.94% of total loans and 343.1% of nonaccrual loans, compared to $19.5 million, or 0.94% of total loans and 362.9% of nonaccrual loans, at December 31, 2024. Total criticized loans, defined as special mention and substandard loans, decreased $12.3 million, or 32.0%, from $38.4 million, or 1.9% of total loans, at December 31, 2024 to $26.1 million, or 1.2% of total gross loans, at June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the decrease in criticized loans was primarily due to payoffs totaling $9.2 million from four substandard commercial loan relationships.
Our commercial real estate portfolio is comprised of diversified property types and primarily within our geographic footprint. At June 30, 2025, the commercial real estate portfolio totaled $1.0 billion, and represented 50.1% of total gross loans. Of the $1.0 billion, $859.2 million, or 82.1%, was categorized as non-owner occupied commercial real estate and represented 316.9% of the Bank’s total risk-based capital.
Management is closely monitoring the loan portfolio for any signs of deterioration in borrowers’ financial condition and also in light of speculation that commercial real estate values may deteriorate as the market continues to adjust to higher vacancies and interest rates. We are taking steps to mitigate risk in our loan portfolio. A summary of our past due and nonaccrual loans by class is listed in Note 5 of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s commercial real estate loans are considered to be relatively diversified by borrower, industry and concentrated in the New England geographical area. A significant portion of the loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans, primarily made in Massachusetts, and to a lesser degree, Connecticut, and secured by real estate or other collateral in the market. Although these loans are made to a diversified pool of unrelated borrowers across numerous businesses, adverse developments in the local real estate market could have an adverse impact on this portfolio of loans and the Company’s income and financial position. While our basic market area is in Massachusetts, the Company has made loans outside that market area where the applicant is an existing customer, and the nature and quality of such loans was consistent with the Company's lending policies.
43
We continuously monitor the asset quality of our loan portfolio. For the commercial portfolio, we monitor credit quality using a risk rating scale, which assigns a risk-grade to each borrower based on a number of quantitative and qualitative factors associated with a commercial loan transaction. Management utilizes a loan risk rating methodology based on an 8-point scale. Pass grades are 0-4 and non-pass categories, which align with regulatory guidelines, include: special mention (5), substandard (6), doubtful (7) and loss (8). Risk rating assignment is determined by analyzing key factors, which may include: industry and market conditions, position within the industry, earnings trends, operating cash flow, debt capacity, guarantor strength, management, financial reporting, collateral and other considerations.
CRE Concentrations.
The OCC, the FRB, and the FDIC (“Agencies”) issued guidance in 2006 which addresses institutions with increased concentrations of commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans. The guidance does not establish specific CRE lending limits; rather, it promotes sound risk management practices and appropriate levels of capital that will enable institutions to continue to pursue CRE lending in a safe and sound manner. In developing this guidance, the Agencies recognized that different types of CRE lending present different levels of risk, and that consideration should be given to the lower risk profiles and historically superior performance of certain types of CRE, such as well-structured multifamily housing finance, when compared to others, such as speculative office space construction.
Institutions are encouraged to segment their CRE portfolios to acknowledge these distinctions for risk management purposes. The guidance focuses on those CRE loans for which the cash flow from the real estate is the primary source of repayment rather than loans to a borrower for which real estate collateral is taken as a secondary source of repayment or through an abundance of caution. Thus, for the purposes of the guidance, CRE loans include those loans with risk profiles sensitive to the condition of the general CRE market (for example, market demand, changes in capitalization rates, vacancy rates, or rents). CRE loans are land development and construction loans (including 1- to 4-family residential and commercial construction loans) and other land loans. CRE loans also include loans secured by multifamily property, and nonfarm nonresidential property where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property (that is, loans for which 50 percent or more of the source of repayment comes from third party, nonaffiliated, rental income) or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. Excluded from the scope of this guidance are loans secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties where the primary source of repayment is the cashflow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the party, or affiliate of the party, who owns the property.
As part of their ongoing supervisory monitoring processes, the Agencies use certain criteria to identify institutions that are potentially exposed to significant CRE concentration risk. An institution that has experienced rapid growth in CRE lending, has notable exposure to a specific type of CRE, or is approaching or exceeds the following supervisory criteria may be identified for further supervisory analysis of the level and nature of its CRE concentration risk:
1. Total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land represent 100 percent or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital; or
2. Total commercial real estate loans as defined in this guidance represent 300 percent or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital, and the outstanding balance of the institution’s commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased by 50 percent or more during the prior 36 months.
The Agencies use the criteria as a preliminary step to identify institutions that may have CRE concentration risk. Because regulatory reports capture a broad range of CRE loans with varying risk characteristics, the supervisory monitoring criteria do not constitute limits on an institution’s lending activity but rather serve as high-level indicators to identify institutions potentially exposed to CRE concentration risk.
44
The Company holds a concentration in commercial real estate loans. As of June 30, 2025, construction, land development and other land loans represented 30.3% of consolidated bank risk-based capital. During the prior 36 months, the Company has experienced an increase in its commercial real estate portfolio of 0.2%.
The management team has extensive experience in underwriting commercial real estate loans and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures and strong underwriting criteria with respect to its commercial real estate portfolio. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has established internal maximum limits on CRE as an asset class overall as well as sub limits within CRE by property class, to better manage and control the exposure to property classes during periods of changing economic conditions. The Board also has minimum targets for regulatory capital ratios that are in excess of well capitalized ratios.
Our risk management process begins with a robust underwriting program. The underwriting and risk rating of all loans is completed by the Company’s Credit Department that is independent of the originating lender(s).

The Company also underwrites and originates owner occupied commercial real estate loans. These loans are typically term loans made to support properties that rely upon the operations of the business occupying the property for repayment. The Agencies specifically excluded owner occupied commercial real estate from their concentration guidance, as the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the party, or affiliate of the party, who owns the property.

Given prevailing market conditions such as recent sustained increases in interest rates, reduced occupancy as a result of the increase in hybrid work arrangements post-COVID, and lower commercial real estate valuations, we carefully monitor these loans for signs of deterioration in credit quality and other risks. Such heightened monitoring includes incremental risk management strategies undertaken by management, including more frequent portfolio reviews, ongoing monitoring of market conditions, and additional portfolio analysis, which may include monitoring concentration limitations, including concentrations by loan type, property type, geographic area and with participants, where applicable, and risk diversification, tracking aggregated policy and underwriting exceptions and stress testing the loan portfolios.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND JUNE 30, 2024
General.
The Company reported net income of $4.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net interest income increased $3.2 million, or 21.9%, provision for credit losses decreased $321,000, non-interest income decreased $423,000, or 11.0%, and non-interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 9.4%, during the same period. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.69% and 7.76%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 0.55% and 6.03%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Net Interest and Dividend Income.
The following tables set forth the information relating to our average balance and net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and reflect the average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Yields and costs are derived by dividing annualized interest income by the average balance of interest-earning assets and annualized interest expense by the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods shown. The interest rate spread is the difference between the total average yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin represents tax-equivalent net interest and dividend income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Average balances are derived from actual daily balances over the periods indicated. Interest income includes fees earned when the real estate loans are prepaid or refinanced. For analytical purposes, the interest earned on tax-exempt assets is adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis to recognize the income tax savings which facilitates comparison between taxable and tax-exempt assets.

Net interest income increased $3.2 million, or 21.9%, to $17.6 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in interest and dividend income of $2.8 million, or 10.5%, and a decrease in interest expense of $362,000, or 2.9%. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $425,000 in prepayment penalties related to payoffs in the commercial portfolio. The increase in interest income was primarily due to a $129.4 million, or 5.4%, increase in average interest-earning assets and a 20 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, from the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
The net interest margin increased 38 basis points from 2.42% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 2.80% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Excluding the prepayment penalties discussed above, the net interest margin increased 31 basis points from 2.42%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 2.73%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
The average yield on interest-earning assets, without the impact of tax-equivalent adjustments, increased 20 basis points from 4.49% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 4.69%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average loan yield, without the impact of tax-equivalent adjustments, increased 20 basis points from 4.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.05%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, average interest-earning assets increased $129.4 million, or 5.4% to $2.5 billion, primarily due to an increase in average loans of $64.2 million, or 3.2%, an increase in average short-term investments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, of $44.3 million, or 309.1%, and an increase in average securities of $20.2 million, or 5.7%.
54
The average cost of total funds, including non-interest bearing accounts and borrowings, decreased 18 basis points from 2.16% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 1.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average cost of core deposits, which the Company defines as all deposits except time deposits, increased 14 basis points from 0.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 1.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average cost of time deposits decreased 70 basis points from 4.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average cost of borrowings, including subordinated debt, increased four basis points from 5.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.04%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Average demand deposits, an interest-free source of funds, increased $24.1 million, or 4.4%, from $548.8 million, or 25.7% of total average deposits, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, to $572.8 million, or 24.9% of total average deposits, for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Reversal of Credit Losses.
The provision for credit losses is reviewed by management based upon our evaluation of economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas and other conditions, such as new loan products, credit quality trends (including trends in nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions using reasonable and supportable forecasts and the impact that such conditions were believed to have had on the collectability of the loan portfolio.
During the three months ended June, 30, 2025, the Company recorded a reversal of credit losses of $615,000, compared to a reversal of credit losses of $294,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The reversal of credit losses recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was a result of a recovery in the amount of $624,000 on a previously charged-off commercial relationship acquired on October 21, 2016 from Chicopee Bancorp, Inc. As of June 30, 2025, the relationship has been paid in full and the Company does not expect to charge-off or recover any additional funds from the borrower. The provision for credit losses was determined by a number of factors: the continued strong credit performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, changes in the loan portfolio mix and Management’s consideration of existing economic conditions and the economic outlook from the Federal Reserve’s actions to control inflation. Management continues to monitor macroeconomic variables related to increasing interest rates, tariffs, inflation and concerns of an economic downturn, and believes it is appropriately reserved for the current economic environment.
The Company recorded net recoveries of $585,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net charge-offs of $10,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Although we believe that we have established and maintained the allowance for credit losses at adequate levels, future adjustments may be necessary if economic, real estate and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment.
Non-interest Income.
Non-interest income decreased $423,000, or 11.0%, to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, service charges and fees on deposits increased $187,000, or 8.0%, income from BOLI increased $14,000, or 2.8%, from $502,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $516,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported an unrealized gain on marketable equity securities of $25,000, compared to unrealized gain on marketable equity securities of $4,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported a gain of $243,000 on non-marketable equity investments, compared to a gain of $987,000 on non-marketable equity investments during the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported $95,000 in other income from loan-level swap fees on commercial loans and did not have comparable income during the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported $4,000 in gains from mortgage banking activities and did not have comparable income during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
55
Non-interest Expense.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, non-interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 9.4%, to $15.7 million from $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in non-interest expense was due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $930,000, or 11.8%, an increase in advertising and marketing expense of $104,000, or 30.7%, an increase in data processing expense of $87,000, or 10.3%, an increase in software related expense of $79,000, or 14.0%, an increase in FDIC insurance expense of $76,000, or 23.5%, an increase in occupancy expense of $47,000, or 3.9%, an increase in professional fees of $42,000, or 7.2%, an increase in debit card and ATM processing fees of $31,000, or 4.8%, an increase in furniture and equipment expense of $8,000, or 1.7%, and a decrease in other non-interest expense of $62,000, or 4.4%.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the efficiency ratio was 74.4%, compared to 78.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 75.3% compared to 82.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decreases in the efficiency ratio and the adjusted efficiency ratio were driven by an increase in total revenues, defined as the sum of net interest income and non-interest income, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. See “Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” for the related efficiency ratio calculation and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
Income Taxes.
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 23.7%, compared to $771,000, or an effective tax rate of 18.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to higher projected pre-tax income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND JUNE 30, 2024
General.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $6.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $6.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.52% and 5.87% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 0.51% and 5.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Net Interest and Dividend Income.
The following tables set forth the information relating to our average balance and net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and reflect the average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Yields and costs are derived by dividing interest income by the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest expense by the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods shown. The interest rate spread is the difference between the total average yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin represents tax-equivalent net interest and dividend income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Average balances are derived from actual daily balances over the periods indicated. Interest income includes fees earned when the real estate loans are prepaid or refinanced. For analytical purposes, the interest earned on tax-exempt assets is adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis to recognize the income tax savings which facilitates comparison between taxable and tax-exempt assets.

Rate/Volume Analysis.
The following table shows how changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected our interest and dividend income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to: (1) interest income changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate); (2) interest income changes attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume); and (3) the net change.
The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, net interest income increased $3.4 million, or 11.3%, to $33.2 million, compared to $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in interest income of $4.6 million, or 8.7%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.3 million, or 5.4%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the net interest margin increased 14 basis points from 2.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 2.64%. The net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.52% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $425,000 and $8,000, respectively, in prepayment penalties related to payoffs in the commercial portfolio. Excluding the prepayment penalties, the net interest margin increased 11 basis points from 2.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 2.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The average yield on interest-earning assets, without the impact of tax-equivalent adjustments, was 4.63% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 4.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The average loan yield, without the impact of tax-equivalent adjustments, was 4.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 4.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, average interest-earning assets increased $128.0 million, or 5.3%, to $2.5 billion, from the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in average loans of $58.0 million, or 2.9%, an increase in average short-term investments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, of $55.4 million, or 467.4%, and an increase in average securities of $13.1 million, or 3.7%.
58
The average cost of total funds, including non-interest bearing accounts and borrowings, was 2.07% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The average cost of core deposits, which the Company defines as all deposits except time deposits, increased 23 basis points to 1.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from 0.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The average cost of time deposits decreased 36 basis points from 4.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The average cost of borrowings, including subordinated debt, increased eight basis points from 4.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Average demand deposits, an interest-free source of funds, increased $18.0 million, or 3.3%, from $553.2 million, or 25.9% of total average deposits, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $571.2 million, or 24.8% of total average deposits, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Reversal of Credit Losses.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a reversal of credit losses of $473,000, compared to a reversal of credit losses of $844,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to changes in the loan mix as well as economic environment and related adjustments to the quantitative components of the CECL methodology. The provision for credit losses was determined by a number of factors: the continued strong credit performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, changes in the loan portfolio mix and Management’s consideration of existing economic conditions and the economic outlook from the Federal Reserve’s actions to control inflation. Management continues to monitor macroeconomic variables related to increasing interest rates, tariffs, inflation and concerns of an economic downturn, and believes it is appropriately reserved for the current economic environment.
The Company recorded net recoveries of $556,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net recoveries of $57,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a recovery of $624,000 on a previously charged-off commercial relationship acquired on October 21, 2016 from Chicopee Bancorp, Inc. As of June 30, 2025, the relationship has been paid in full and the Company does not expect to charge-off or recover any additional funds from the borrower.
Although we believe that we have established and maintained the allowance for credit losses at adequate levels, future adjustments may be necessary if economic, real estate and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment.
Non-interest Income.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, non-interest income decreased $338,000, or 5.2%, from $6.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $6.2 million. During the same period, service charges and fees on deposits increased $252,000, or 5.5%, and income from BOLI increased $34,000, or 3.6%. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported a gain of $243,000 on non-marketable equity investments, compared to a gain of $987,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported $95,000 in other income from loan-level swap fees on commercial loans and did not have comparable income during the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported unrealized gains on marketable equity securities of $20,000, compared to unrealized gains on marketable equity securities of $12,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gains and losses from the investment portfolio vary from quarter to quarter based on market conditions, as well as the related yield curve and valuation changes. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported $11,000 in gains from mortgage banking activities and did not have comparable gains or losses during the six months ended June 30, 2024. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported a loss on the disposal of premises and equipment of $6,000 and did not have a comparable gain or loss during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Non-interest Expense.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, non-interest expense increased $1.7 million, or 6.0%, to $30.8 million, compared to $29.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $1.1 million, or 6.8%, due to an increase in deferred compensation expense to reflect updated performance award estimates. Advertising expense increased $184,000, or 26.7%, data processing increased $107,000, or 6.3%, FDIC insurance expense increased $97,000, or 13.2%, occupancy expense increased $96,000, or 3.7%, debit card and ATM processing fees increased $56,000, or 4.7%, software related expenses increased $39,000, or 3.1%, professional fees increased $19,000, or 1.7%, furniture and equipment expense increased $11,000, or 1.1%, and other non-interest expense increased $36,000, or 1.4%.
59
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the efficiency ratio was 78.4%, compared to 80.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 78.9%, compared to 82.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decreases in the efficiency ratio and the adjusted efficiency ratio were driven by higher revenues, defined as the sum of net interest income and non-interest income, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure. See “Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” for the related efficiency ratio calculation and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
Income Taxes.
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.1 million, representing an effective tax rate of 23.2%, compared to $1.6 million, representing an effective tax rate of 19.8%, for six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to higher projected pre-tax income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measurements.
We believe that it is common practice in the banking industry to present interest income and related yield information on tax-exempt loans and securities on a tax-equivalent basis, as well as presenting tangible book value per share and adjusted efficiency ratio, and that such information is useful to investors because it facilitates comparisons among financial institutions. However, the adjustment of interest income and yields on tax-exempt loans and securities to a tax-equivalent amount, as well as the presentation of tangible book value per share and adjusted efficiency ratio, may be considered to include financial information that is not in compliance with GAAP. A reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP is provided below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The term “liquidity” refers to our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to fund loan originations, loan purchases, deposit withdrawals and operating expenses. Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal and mortgage-backed securities, maturities and calls of investment securities and funds provided by our operations. We also can borrow funds from the FHLB based on eligible collateral of loans and securities. Our material cash commitments include funding loan originations, fulfilling contractual obligations with third-party service providers, maintaining operating leases for certain of our Bank properties and satisfying repayment of our long-term debt obligations.
61
Primary Sources of Liquidity
The Company, on an ongoing basis, closely monitors the Company’s liquidity position for compliance with internal policies, and believes that available sources of liquidity are adequate to meet funding needs in the normal course of business. As part of that monitoring process, the Company stresses the potential liabilities calculation to ensure a strong liquidity position. Included in the calculation are assumptions of some significant deposit run-off as well as funds needed for loan closing and investment purchases. The Company does not anticipate engaging in any activities, either currently or over the long-term, for which adequate funding would not be available and which would therefore result in significant pressure on liquidity. However, an economic recession could negatively impact the Company’s liquidity. The Bank relies heavily on FHLB as a source of funds, particularly with its overnight line of credit. In past economic recessions, some FHLB branches have suspended dividends, cut dividend payments, and not bought back excess FHLB stock that members hold in an effort to conserve capital. FHLB has stated that it expects to be able to continue to pay dividends, redeem excess capital stock, and provide competitively priced advances in the future.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, outstanding borrowings from the FHLB were $98.0 million. At June 30, 2025, we had $452.7 million in available borrowing capacity with the FHLB. We have the ability to increase our borrowing capacity with the FHLB by pledging investment securities or additional loans.
The Company has an available line of credit of $383.8 million with the FRB Discount Window at an interest rate determined and reset on a daily basis. Borrowings from the FRB Discount Window are secured by certain eligible loan collateral and securities from the Company’s investment portfolio not otherwise pledged. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no advances outstanding under the FRB Discount Window.
In addition, we have available lines of credit of $15.0 million and $10.0 million with other correspondent banks. Interest rates on these lines are determined and reset on a daily basis by each respective bank. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we did not have an outstanding balance under either of these lines of credit. In addition, we may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with approved broker-dealers. Reverse repurchase agreements are agreements that allow us to borrow money using our securities as collateral.
We also have outstanding at any time, a significant number of commitments to extend credit and provide financial guarantees to third parties. These arrangements are subject to strict credit control assessments. Guarantees specify limits to our obligations. Because many commitments and almost all guarantees expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contract amounts are not estimates of future cash flows. We are also obligated under agreements with the FHLB to repay borrowed funds and are obligated under leases for certain of our branches and equipment.
Maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds. However, deposit flows, calls of securities and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and local economic conditions and competition in the marketplace. These factors reduce the predictability of the timing of these sources of funds.
The Company’s primary activities are the origination of commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans and residential real estate loans, as well as and the purchase of mortgage-backed and other investment securities. At June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $153.9 million in loan commitments and letters of credit to borrowers and approximately $357.8 million in available home equity and other unadvanced lines of credit.
Deposit inflows and outflows are affected by the level of interest rates, the products and interest rates offered by competitors and by other factors. At June 30, 2025, time deposit accounts scheduled to mature within one year totaled $651.5 million. Based on the Company’s deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of these time deposits will remain on deposit. We monitor our liquidity position frequently and anticipate that it will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments for the next 12 months and beyond.
Material Cash Commitments
The Company entered into a long-term contractual obligation with a vendor for use of its banking software system provider and ancillary services beginning in 2016. Total remaining contractual obligations outstanding with this vendor as of June 30, 2025 were estimated to be $6.1 million, with the total amount of $6.1 million expected to be paid within one year. Further, the Company has operating leases for certain of its banking offices and ATMs. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to thirteen years, some of which include options to extend the leases for additional five-year terms up to ten years. Undiscounted lease liabilities totaled $8.3 million as of June 30, 2025. Principal payments expected to be made on our lease liabilities during the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 were $1.4 million. The remaining lease liability payments totaled $6.9 million and are expected to be made after June 30, 2026.
62
In addition, the Company completed an offering of $20 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% Notes to certain qualified institutional buyers in a private placement transaction on April 20, 2021. Unless earlier redeemed, the Notes mature on May 1, 2031. At June 30, 2025, $19.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes was outstanding. The Notes will bear interest from the initial issue date to, but excluding, May 1, 2026, or the earlier redemption date, at a fixed rate of 4.875% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on May 1, August 1, November 1 and February 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2021, and from and including May 1, 2026, but excluding the maturity date or earlier redemption date, equal to the benchmark rate, which is the 90-day average secured overnight financing rate, plus 412 basis points, determined on the determination date of the applicable interest period, payable quarterly in arrears on May 1, August 1, November 1 and February 1 of each year. The Company may also redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on or after May 1, 2026, and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events, subject in each case to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.
At June 30, 2025, we exceeded each of the applicable regulatory capital requirements. As of June 30, 2025, the most recent notification from the Office of Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as “well-capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well-capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would change our category.
