MIDDLETOWN, N.Y., April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orange County Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" - Nasdaq: OBT), parent company of Orange Bank & Trust Co. (the "Bank") and Orange Investment Advisors, Inc. ("OIA"), today announced net income of $11.3 million, or $0.85 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2026. This compares with net income of $8.7 million, or $0.77 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in earnings per share, basic and diluted, was due primarily to an increase in net interest income coupled with a reduction in provision for credit losses partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense during the current period.

Book value per share grew $0.48, or 2.3%, from $21.27 at December 31, 2025 to $21.75 at March 31, 2026. Tangible book value per share increased $0.49, or 2.4%, from $20.83 at December 31, 2025 to $21.32 at March 31, 2026 (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation" below for additional detail). These increases were due to earnings growth during the three months ended March 31, 2026 offset by an increase in unrealized losses on the available for sale securities ("AFS") portfolio resulting from interest rate fluctuation during the period.

"I am pleased to announce record first quarter financial results for the Bank led by growth of our low-cost deposit base and continued strength in our net interest margin," said Orange County Bancorp President and CEO Michael Gilfeather and added "this expansion continued despite today's challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environments."

"For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Bank earned $11.3 million, a $2.6 million, or 29.6% increase, over the same quarter last year. Total loans increased a modest $1.7 million for the quarter, keeping our total loan portfolio relatively flat at $2 billion versus year-end 2025. The average yield on the loan portfolio was 6.18%, up 13 basis points, or 2.15% from the same period last year, and down 6 basis points, or less than 1% versus the prior quarter.

Total deposit growth for the quarter continued a favorable trend, increasing $39.4 million, or 1.7%, to $2.4 billion at March 31, 2026 from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2025. The bulk of this growth reflected core deposits and was sourced within the Bank, enabling us to continue to reduce the use of higher cost, broker-sourced deposits. As discussed previously, we have made organically sourced deposits a key focus of the Bank, and this initiative continues to meet with success. Our average cost of deposits for the quarter was 1.03% down 26 basis points, or 20.2% from Q1 2025 and down 8 basis points or 7.2% versus Q4 2025, and remains a key competitive strength of the Bank.

Given higher lending rates and lower deposit costs, net interest margin continued to improve during the quarter, increasing 45 basis points to 4.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 3.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net interest margin was also helped by loan repayments near quarter end. We are always actively managing our loan portfolio and deposits with the goal of optimizing financial performance and delivering market leading results.

Breaking with otherwise strong metrics, our Wealth Management division experienced a pullback from its recent growth path during the quarter. For the three months ending March 31, 2026, Wealth Management earned $3.3 million, down $171 thousand, or 5.0% versus the same quarter last year and down $465 thousand, or 12.5% versus the prior quarter. During the quarter, earnings for Wealth Management were impacted by reduction in assets under management (AUM), partially resulting from volatility within the equity markets, the interest rate environment, and overall economy combined with last year's divisional restructuring. We believe synergies between the Bank and Wealth Management division will position us to not only replace lost AUM but accelerate their growth further. We remain excited by the prospects for this division and view it as a key component of our business strategy and client value proposition.

The strength of our business model once again enabled us to navigate recent macroeconomic challenges successfully. I am proud of the results and remain optimistic about our opportunities. I also remain confident in our team's ability to respond quickly to changing circumstances from a foundation of experience to effectively manage risk, serve our clients, and pursue new opportunities in our operating markets. This is the true power of a well run regional bank. As always, I thank our committed employees, customers, and shareholders for their continued confidence and support."

First Quarter 2026 Financial Review

Net Income

Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $11.3 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 29.6%, from net income of $8.7 million for the first quarter of 2025. The growth in net income represents a combination of increased net interest income as well as a reduced provision for credit losses partially offset by increased noninterest expense during the quarter. The improvement in the provision for credit losses represents the effect of slower loan growth resulting from late first quarter loan repayments combined with lower reserve requirements related to the composition and performance of the loan portfolio and the associated impact of modeling projected losses under CECL.

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net interest income rose $4.3 million, or 18.1%, to $27.9 million as compared to $23.6 million during the same period last year reflecting an increase in total interest income of $2.5 million as a result of growth in interest and fees associated with loans and a decrease in total interest expense of $1.8 million mainly due to lower interest costs resulting from reduced borrowing costs during the current period.

Total interest income rose $2.5 million, or 8.0%, to $34.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $31.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase reflected 9.1% growth in interest and fees associated with loans coupled with an increase of interest income associated with fed funds and balances held at correspondent banks offset by a net decrease in interest income associated with investment securities.

Total interest expense decreased $1.8 million during the first quarter of 2026, to $6.5 million, as compared to $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. Interest expense from FHLB advances and borrowings during the current quarter totaled $98 thousand as compared to $931 thousand during the first quarter of 2025. The decrease primarily represented the effect of lower average balances and average costs associated with FHLB borrowings. Interest expense associated with savings and NOW accounts totaled $5.3 million during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to $4.9 million during the first quarter of 2025. Interest expense related to subordinated notes increased and totaled $430 thousand during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to $230 thousand during the first quarter of 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses reflected a net recovery of $436 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to an expense of $202 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The 2026 recovery was due primarily to slower loan growth during the first quarter of 2026 combined with the effect of customary model calibration for projected lifetime losses for the portfolio and lower reserves associated with the composition of loans closed during the first quarter of 2026. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.43% as of March 31, 2026 versus 1.45% as of December 31, 2025. No additional reserves for investment securities were recorded during either of the first quarters of 2026 or 2025.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $179 thousand, or 4.1%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This reduction was related primarily to a decrease in investment advisory income combined with a reduction of earnings on bank-owned life insurance due to a receipt of BOLI proceeds in the first quarter of 2025. The Company's other fee income categories, including trust income and service charges on deposit accounts, experienced growth during the quarter.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $17.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, reflecting an increase of $1.4 million, or 8.7%, as compared to $16.5 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in non-interest expense for the current three-month period continues to reflect the Company's investment in growth. This investment consists primarily of increases in compensation, occupancy, and professional fees as well as significant expense related to information technology. Our efficiency ratio, which is a non-GAAP measurement, improved to 55.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 58.9% for the same period in 2025.

Income Tax Expense

Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $3.3 million, representing an increase of $722 thousand, or 27.9%, as compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the provision for income tax was directly related to an increase in income before income taxes associated with the Company's earnings as well as the effect of certain tax adjustments for the quarter. Our effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 was 22.7%, as compared to 22.9% for the same period in 2025.

Financial Condition

Total consolidated assets increased by $46.2 million, or 1.7%, and remained relatively consistent at $2.7 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The increase reflected increases in cash and loans during the first quarter of 2026.

Total cash and due from banks increased from $204.2 million at December 31, 2025, to $257.5 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of approximately $53.3 million, or 26.1%. This increase resulted mainly from higher levels of deposit balances and payoffs of loans which elevated cash levels at quarter end.

Total investment securities decreased $11.9 million, or 2.8%, from $425.3 million at December 31, 2025 to $413.4 million at March 31, 2026. The decrease continues to be driven primarily by investment maturities during the first three months of 2026.

Total loans increased $1.7 million, or 0.1%, and remained relatively level near $2.0 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The slight increase included growth within the CRE construction category, home equity segment, and consumer sector offset by a decrease in commercial and industrial loans. Commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans remained level between March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Total deposits increased $39.4 million, to $2.4 billion at March 31, 2026 from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2025. This increase was due primarily to $53.4 million of growth in interest bearing demand deposits and $1.7 million of growth in noninterest-bearing demand accounts. Money market accounts and savings accounts combined for approximately $1.1 million at March 31, 2026 as compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting an increase of $77.3 million, or 7.7%. Certificates of deposit represented a $93.1 million decrease as the increased deposit levels of transaction accounts provided for run-off of maturing brokered deposits during the period. Deposit composition at March 31, 2026 included 51.1% in demand deposit accounts (including NOW accounts) as a percentage of total deposits. Uninsured deposits, net of fully collateralized municipal relationships, remain stable and represent approximately 49% at March 31, 2026 and 46% at December 31, 2025.

FHLBNY long-term borrowings remained at $10.0 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The stability and low level in borrowings represents the effect of increased deposits which outpaced loan growth during the quarter and allowed for low borrowing levels while maintaining higher levels of cash at March 31, 2026.

Stockholders' equity increased $7.3 million, or 2.6%, to $291.7 million at March 31, 2026 from $284.4 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was due to the effect of $11.3 million in net income offset by dividends of $2.4 million and an increase in unrealized losses of approximately $2.8 million on the market value of investment securities within the Company's equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), net of taxes during the first quarter of 2026.

At March 31, 2026, the Bank maintained capital ratios in excess of regulatory standards for well capitalized institutions. The Bank's Tier 1 capital-to-average-assets ratio was 12.80%, both common equity and Tier 1 capital-to-risk-weighted-assets were 17.66%, and total-capital-to-risk-weighted-assets was 18.91%.

Wealth Management

At March 31, 2026, our Wealth Management Division, which includes trust and investment advisory, held $1.6 billion in assets under management or advisory, as compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2025, a 13.0% decrease. Trust and investment advisory income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $3.3 million, representing a decrease of 5.0%, or $171 thousand, as compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The breakdown of trust and investment advisory assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, is as follows:

Loan Quality

At March 31, 2026, the Bank had total non-performing loans of $26.1 million, or 1.34% of total loans. Total non-accrual loans represented $26.1 million of loans as of March 31, 2026, compared to $11.1 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in non-accrual loans was related primarily to a commercial real estate participation loan that experienced payment disruption during the first quarter of 2026 due to bankruptcy at the parent company level and remains non-performing and in non-accrual status at quarter-end.

Liquidity

Management believes the Bank has the necessary liquidity to meet normal business needs. The Bank uses a variety of resources to manage its liquidity position. These include short term investments, cash from lending and investing activities, core-deposit growth, and non-core funding sources, such as time deposits exceeding $250,000, brokered deposits, FHLBNY advances, and other borrowings. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank's cash and due from banks totaled $257.5 million. The Bank maintains an investment portfolio of securities available for sale, comprised mainly of US Government agency and treasury securities, Small Business Administration loan pools, mortgage-backed securities, and municipal bonds. Although the portfolio generates interest income for the Bank, it also serves as an available source of liquidity and funding. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank's investment in securities available for sale was $413.4 million, of which $127.4 million was not pledged as collateral or specifically designated to any borrowings. Additionally, as of March 31, 2026, the Bank's overnight advance line capacity at the FHLBNY was $660.7 million, of which $87.4 million was used to collateralize municipal deposits and $10.0 million was utilized for long term advances. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank's unused borrowing capacity at the FHLBNY was $563.3 million. The Bank also maintains additional borrowing capacity of $20 million with other correspondent banks. Additional funding is available to the Bank through the discount window lending by the Federal Reserve. The total amount of loans pledged to the Federal Reserve, between the Discount Window and the Borrower-In-Custody ("BIC") program, was approximately $231.8 million at March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, the Bank was not utilizing any available funding from the Federal Reserve.

The Bank also considers brokered deposits an element of its overall deposit strategy. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank had brokered deposit arrangements with various terms under 30 days totaling approximately $30.0 million.
