Financial institutions can be affected by changing conditions in the real estate and financial markets.

The effects of geopolitical instability, including the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, foreign currency exchange volatility, volatility in global capital markets, inflationary pressures, higher tariffs, and higher interest rates may meaningfully impact loan production, income levels, and the measurement of certain significant estimates such as the allowance for credit losses.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

Our net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended September, 30, 2025 increased $3.1 million, or 41.6%, to $10.6 million, compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Earnings per share were $0.90 per basic common share and $0.89 per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.63 per basic common share and $0.62 per diluted common share for the same period last year.

The increase was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses, a decrease in non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income :

Our net interest income was $20.2 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $14.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $5.4 million, or 37.0%.

Net interest income increased during the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in interest and fees on loans, and a decrease in interest expense on borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in interest on deposits with banks, and by an increase in interest expense on deposits.

Interest income increased $4.4 million, or 13.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase of $4.7 million in interest and fees on loans, due to higher loan balances and market interest rates.

Interest from deposits with banks decreased $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower average cash balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB").

The increase in interest income was also due to a decrease in interest expense on borrowings during the three months ended September 30, 2025 of $1.5 million, or 60.3%, primarily due to the redemption of the Company's $30.0 million, 6.5% fixed to floating rate subordinated notes, as well as the repayment of $30.0 million of FHLBNY advances, during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

This was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits of $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase interest-bearing deposit balances during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Provision for credit losses :

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the provision for credit losses was $0.4 million, compared to a recovery of provision for credit losses of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $0.5 million.

The increase in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily due to an increase of $48.4 million in the construction loan portfolio balance and an increase of $15.6 million in the commercial non-owner occupied loan portfolio balance from June 30, 2025, partially offset by a decrease in the multi-family loan portfolio of $12.8 million, and a decrease in the loss rate for the residential - 1 to 4 family investment loan portfolio from June 30, 2025.

Non-interest Income :

Our non-interest income was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.05 million, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Non-interest Expense :

Our non-interest expense increased $0.8 million, or 12.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from the three months ended September 30, 2024 , to $7.2 million.

The increase was primarily driven by an increase in compensation and benefits of $0.1 million, an increase in professional services expense of $0.2 million, and an increase in other operating expense of $0.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in other real estate owned ("OREO") expense of $0.1 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Income tax expense was $2.9 million on income before taxes of $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.2%, compared to income tax expense of $1.9 million on income before taxes of $9.4 million for the same period of 2024, resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.1%.
