Net interest income increased
$4.0 million to $20.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net interest income increased $13.4 million to $56.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026,
from $43.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, which increased $164.7 million and $215.6 million when comparing the
three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase in interest rates on interest-earning assets, which increased 14 and 17 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025,
respectively, and a decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased 29 and 31 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in net interest income was
offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, which increased $144.1 million and $196.2 million when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
|
| • |
Net interest rate spread increased 43 basis points to 2.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to 2.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net interest rate spread increased 48 basis points to 2.38% for the nine months ended March
31, 2026 as compared to 1.90% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025.
|
| • |
Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if the Company’s investment in tax-exempt securities and loans had been subject to federal and New York State income taxes yielding the same
after-tax income. Tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.03% and 2.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and was 2.88% and 2.41% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
|
| • |
Provision for credit losses amounted to $451,000 and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1.9 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The provision for the nine
months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily attributable to an increase in loan volume offset by improvements in the economic forecasts used in the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. The allowance for credit losses on loans to
total loans receivable was 1.25% at March 31, 2026 as compared to 1.24% at June 30, 2025.
|
| • |
Commercial and commercial real estate loans classified as substandard and special mention totaled $34.9 million at March 31, 2026, and $39.4 million at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $4.5 million. The decrease in the loans classified during the period ended
March 31, 2026, was primarily due to upgrades of commercial real estate loans that were considered to be performing and paying in accordance with the terms of their loan agreements and commercial real estate loans that were paid off during
the period. Of the loans classified as substandard or special mention, $31.5 million were performing at March 31, 2026. There were no loans classified as doubtful or loss at March 31, 2026 or June 30, 2025.
|
| • |
Net charge-offs on loans amounted to $73,000 and $96,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $23,000. Net charge-offs totaled $273,000 and $305,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
There were no material charge-offs in any loan segment during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026.
|
| • |
Nonperforming loans amounted
to $3.1 million at March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The activity in nonperforming loans during the period included $763,000 in loan repayments, $84,000 in charge-offs, and $860,000 of loans placed into nonperforming status.
At March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, nonperforming assets were 0.10% of total assets, respectively. At March 31, 2026, nonperforming loans were 0.18% of net loans as compared to 0.19% at June 30, 2025.
|
| • |
Noninterest income
decreased $157,000, or 4.1%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to the
Company earning an Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”) of $610,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and a $279,000 decrease in fee income earned on customer interest rate swap contracts. This was partially offset by a
$665,000 loss on sales of securities available-for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Noninterest income decreased $627,000, or 5.5%, to $10.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $11.5 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to the Company earning an ERTC of $610,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and a decrease of $317,000 in fee income
earned on customer interest rate swap contracts. This was partially offset by an increase in income from bank owned life insurance of $124,000, and an increase of $99,000 in service charge income.
|
| • |
Noninterest expense
increased $1.2 million, or 12.3%, to $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to
a $706,000 non-cash settlement charge as a result of the completed termination of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan, an increase of $588,000 in salaries and employee benefits, and an increase of $166,000 in service and data
processing expenses. This was partially offset by a decrease of $277,000 in the allowance for credit losses unfunded commitment expense, due to a decrease in the Company’s contractual obligation to extend credit. Noninterest expense
increased $2.8 million, or 9.7%, to $31.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $29.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The increase during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to
an increase of $1.4 million in salaries and employee benefits, a $895,000 non-cash settlement charge as a result of the completed termination of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan, an increase of $355,000 in computer software,
supplies and support fees, an increase of $252,000 in charitable contributions as the Bank made a $250,000 charitable donation to the Bank of Greene County Charitable Foundation, an increase of $194,000 in service and data processing
expenses, an increase of $162,000 in legal and professional fees, and an increase of $152,000 in occupancy expenses. This was partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in the allowance for credit losses unfunded commitment expense.

Provision for income taxes reflects the expected tax associated with the pre-tax income generated for the given period and certain regulatory requirements. The effective tax rate was 13.5% and 12.4% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, and 9.9%
and 8.0% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. The statutory tax rate is impacted by the benefits derived from tax-exempt bond and loan income, the Company’s real estate investment trust subsidiary income, income
received on the bank owned life insurance and tax credits to arrive at the effective tax rate. The increase during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, is primarily due to higher pre-tax income and reflects a lower mix of tax-exempt income from municipal bonds, tax advantage loans, and bank owned life insurance in proportion to pre-tax income.

|
| • |

increased to $267.6 million at March 31, 2026 as compared to $238.8 million at June 30, 2025, resulting primarily from net income of $29.7 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $2.3 million, partially offset by

of its common stock, at management’s discretion, at prices management considers to be attractive, and in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders.
