Kenneth A. Martinek, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, stated "We are again pleased to report continued strong performance throughout our entire loan portfolio. We continue our laser focus on construction lending in high demand, high absorption submarkets in the Bronx, Rockland, Orange, and Sullivan Counties."

"Demand for construction loans throughout these submarkets continues to demonstrate robust growth and we look forward to meeting this growing demand going forward. At March 31, 2026, construction loan commitments and loans-in-process outstanding increased by approximately 37.8% as compared to the first quarter of 2025, with over $819 million in total unfunded loan commitments outstanding, and represents a 20.6% increase over the amount of such total commitments outstanding at December 31, 2025."

Highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are as follows:

   -- Performance metrics continue to be strong with a return on average total 
      assets ratio of 1.97%, a return on average shareholders' equity ratio of 
      11.13%, and an efficiency ratio of 43.64% for the three months ended 
      March 31, 2026. 
 
   -- Asset quality metrics continue to remain strong with no non-performing 
      loans at either March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025, and non-performing 
      assets to total assets were 0.00% at both March 31, 2026 and at December 
      31, 2025. Our allowance for credit losses related to loans totaled $4.6 
      million, or 0.25% total loans at March 31, 2026 compared to $4.7 million, 
      or 0.25% of total loans at December 31, 2025. 
 
   -- Total stockholders' equity increased by $4.6 million, or 1.3%, to $356.3 
      million, or 17.59% of total assets as of March 31, 2026 from $351.7 
      million, or 17.04% of total assets as of December 31, 2025. 

Balance Sheet Summary

Total assets decreased $38.4 million, or 1.9%, to $2.0 billion at March 31, 2026, from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease in assets was primarily due to decreases in net loans of $31.8 million, cash and cash equivalents of $5.0 million, and other assets of $2.0 million.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.0 million, or 6.1%, to $76.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $81.2 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents partially funded a decrease of $50.0 million in borrowings.

Equity securities increased $879,000, or 3.3%, to $27.4 million at March 31, 2026 from $26.6 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in equity securities was attributable to the purchase of $1.0 million in equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, partially offset by market depreciation of $121,000 due to market interest rate volatility during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Securities held-to-maturity decreased $150,000, or 0.8%, to $18.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $18.3 million at December 31, 2025 due to pay-downs of various investment securities.

Loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, decreased $31.8 million, or 1.7%, to $1.8 billion at March 31, 2026 from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease in loans consisted of decreases of $16.1 million in construction loans, $14.3 million in multi-family loans, $610,000 in commercial and industrial loans, $494,000 in mixed-use loans, $258,000 in non-residential loans, $34,000 in one-to-four family loans, and $21,000 in consumer loans. The decrease in our construction loan portfolio was due to normal pay-downs and principal reductions as construction projects were completed and either condominium units were sold to end buyers or multi-family rental buildings were refinanced by other financial institutions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we originated loans totaling $266.1 million, which includes commitments and funded loans, consisting primarily of $244.2 million in construction loans and $21.8 million in commercial and industrial loans. The $244.2 million in construction loans had $99.5 million, or 40.7%, disbursed at loan closing, with the remaining funds to be disbursed over the terms of the construction loans. The commercial and industrial loans had $18.9 million, or 86.7%, disbursed at loan closing.

The allowance for credit losses related to loans decreased to $4.6 million as of March 31, 2026, from $4.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses related to loans was due to charge-offs totaling $27,000 and a provision for credit losses reduction of $112,000 to the allowance for credit losses related to loans due to a decrease of $31.8 million in the loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses reduction of $112,000 to the allowance for credit losses related to loans was offset by a provision for credit losses of $112,000 to the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet commitments.

The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet commitments increased $112,000, or 12.7%, to $991,000 at March 31, 2026 from $879,000 at December 31, 2025 due primarily to an increase of $140.0 million, or 20.6%, in off-balance sheet commitments from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026.

Premises and equipment decreased $199,000, or 0.8%, to $25.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $25.4 million at December 31, 2025 primarily due to the amortization of fixed assets.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock was $410,000 and property held for investment was $1.3 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") increased $179,000, or 0.7%, to $26.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $26.4 million at December 31, 2025 due to increases in the BOLI cash value.

Accrued interest receivable decreased $152,000, or 1.2%, to $12.1 million at March 31, 2026 from $12.2 million at December 31, 2025 due to a decrease of $31.9 million in the loan portfolio.

Right of use assets -- operating decreased $179,000, or 3.8%, to $4.5 million at March 31, 2026 from $4.7 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to depreciation of the right of use assets.

Other assets decreased $2.0 million, or 18.0%, to $9.0 million at March 31, 2026 from $11.0 million at December 31, 2025 due to decreases of $2.2 million in tax assets, partially offset by increases of $143,000 in prepaid expenses and $57,000 in suspense accounts.

Total deposits increased $9.4 million, or 0.6%, to $1.6 billion at March 31, 2026 from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase in deposits was primarily due to increases in NOW/money market accounts of $50.0 million, or 16.5% and non-interest bearing deposits of $25.0 million, or 9.2%, partially offset by decreases in certificates of deposit of $57.1 million, or 6.3%, and savings account balances of $8.5 million, or 6.0%. The decrease of $57.1 million in certificates of deposit consisted of decreases in brokered certificates of deposit of $40.6 million, or 11.0%, non-brokered listing services certificates of deposit of $5.4 million, or 6.2%, and retail certificates of deposit of $11.2 million, or 2.5%.

The decrease in brokered certificates of deposit and non-brokered listing services certificates of deposit was due to management's strategy to reduce the cost of funds by "calling" higher rate brokered deposits on their call dates and to rely less on brokered deposits and non-brokered listing service deposits. The decrease in retail certificates of deposit was due to a shift in deposits to our retail high yield money market accounts.

Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance increased $572,000, or 24.3%, to $2.9 million at March 31, 2026 from $2.4 million at December 31, 2025 due primarily to accumulation of real estate tax payments from borrowers.

Borrowings decreased $50.0 million, or 71.4%, to $20.0 million at March 31, 2026 from $70.0 million at December 31, 2025 due primarily to management's strategy to reduce the cost of funds.

Lease liability -- operating decreased $163,000, or 3.4%, to $4.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $4.8 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to the amortization of the lease liability.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $2.8 million, or 15.9%, to $14.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $17.3 million at December 31, 2025 due primarily to decreases in accrued expense of $2.9 million and accrued interest expense of $438,000, partially offset by increases in suspense account -- loan closings of $217,000, deferred compensation of $158,000, and accounts payable of $40,000.

Stockholders' equity increased $4.6 million, or 1.3% to $356.3 million at March 31, 2026, from $351.7 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in stockholders' equity was due to net income of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $178,000 in earned employee stock ownership plan shares coupled with a reduction of $130,000 in unearned employee stock ownership plan shares, the amortization expense of $547,000 relating to restricted stock and stock options granted under the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, $37,000 in stock options exercised, and $8,000 in other comprehensive income. These increases were offset by stock repurchases and excise taxes of $3.6 million and dividends declared of $2.7 million.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $24.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in net interest income of $130,000, or 0.5%, was primarily due to a decrease in interest income that exceeded a decrease in interest expense caused by a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets that exceeded the decrease in the cost of funds for interest-bearing liabilities.

Total interest and dividend income decreased $2.2 million, or 5.9%, to $36.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $38.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in interest and dividend income was due to a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets by 61 basis points from 8.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 7.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $35.2 million, or 1.9%, to $1.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $1.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Interest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 15.1%, to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities by 58 basis points from 4.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 3.47% for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease in interest expense was also due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $9.9 million, or 0.7%, to $1.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $1.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Our net interest margin decreased 12 basis points, or 2.4%, to 4.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 5.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in the net interest margin was due to a 75 basis points decrease in the Federal Funds rate from September 2025 to December 2025 that resulted in a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a smaller decrease in the cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities.

Credit Loss Expense

The Company recorded no credit loss expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a credit loss expense of $237,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The credit loss expense of $237,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was comprised of credit loss expense for loans of $62,000 and credit loss expense for off-balance sheet commitments of $175,000. The credit loss expense for loans of $62,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in the multi-family loan portfolio. The credit loss expense for off-balance sheet commitments of $175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in unfunded off-balance sheet commitments.

With respect to the allowance for credit losses for loans, we charged-off $27,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared to charge-offs of $117,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The charge-offs during both periods were against various unpaid overdrafts in our demand deposit accounts.

We recorded no recoveries during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to recoveries of $352,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The recoveries of $352,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 were comprised of recoveries of $350,000 regarding a previously charged-off non-residential mortgage loan and $2,000 from a previously charged-off unpaid overdraft on a demand deposit account.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $796,000 compared to non-interest income of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $439,000, or 35.5%, in total non-interest income was primarily due to decreases of $421,000 in unrealized gain/(loss) on equity securities and $71,000 in other loan fees and service charges, partially offset by increases of $41,000 in miscellaneous other non-interest income and $12,000 in BOLI income.

The decrease in unrealized gain/(loss) on equity securities was due to an unrealized loss of $121,000 on equity securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to an unrealized gain of $300,000 on equity securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The unrealized loss of $121,000 and unrealized gain of $300,000 on equity securities during the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, were due to market interest rate volatility during both periods.

The decrease of $71,000 in other loan fees and service charges was due to a decrease of $143,000 in miscellaneous loan fees, partially offset by an increase of $72,000 in ATM/debit card/ACH fees. The increase of $41,000 in miscellaneous other non-interest income was due to general accrual adjustments during the quarter. The increase of $12,000 in BOLI income was due to an increase in the yield on BOLI assets.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $260,000, or 2.4%, to $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase resulted primarily from increases of $239,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $127,000 in occupancy expense, $61,000 in outside data processing expense, and $6,000 in equipment expense, partially offset by decreases of $84,000 in other operating expense, $59,000 in advertising expense, and $30,000 in real estate owned expense.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $4.1 million for both three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had approximately $248,000 in tax exempt income, compared to approximately $204,000 in tax exempt income for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our effective income tax rate was 29.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 27.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Asset Quality

We had no non-performing assets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.00% at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company's allowance for credit losses related to loans was $4.6 million, or 0.25% of total loans as of March 31, 2026, compared to $4.7 million, or 0.25% of total loans as of December 31, 2025. Based on a review of the loans that were in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2026, management believes that the allowance for credit losses related to loans is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio that were both probable and reasonably estimable.

In addition, at March 31, 2026, the Company's allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet commitments totaled $991,000 and the allowance for credit losses related to held-to-maturity debt securities totaled $126,000.

The Company's total stockholders' equity to assets ratio was 17.59% as of March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, the Company had the ability to borrow $866.7 million from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and $8.0 million from Atlantic Community Bankers Bank.

The Bank's capital position remains strong relative to current regulatory requirements and the Bank is considered a well-capitalized institution under the Prompt Corrective Action framework. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank had a tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 16.76% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.73%.
