Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 increased by $233,000, or 3.8%, to $6.4 million as compared to $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 and increased $972,000, or 18.1%, as compared to $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2024. Net interest margin and interest rate spread were 3.72% and 3.02%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to 3.84% and 3.32%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2025 and 3.28% and 2.67%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2024.
Net interest income for the first nine months of 2025 increased $2.2 million, or 14.1%, to $17.9 million as compared to $15.7 million for the first nine months of 2024. Net interest margin and interest rate spread were 3.68% and 3.09%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2025 as compared to 3.17% and 2.59%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2024.
Interest income for the third quarter of 2025 was $9.4 million, an increase of $244,000, or 2.7%, compared to $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, and an increase of $500,000, or 5.6%, compared to $8.9 million for the third quarter of 2024.
The increase in interest income from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in interest earned on interest-earning deposits of $523,000, or 193.7%, as a result of an increase in the average balance of interest-earning deposits of $46.0 million, or 169.4%, and an increase in the average yield on interest-earning deposits of 35 basis points with additional funds maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank. The increase in the average balance of interest-earning deposits from the prior quarter was primarily due to the receipt of funds raised in connection with the second step conversion and offering. This increase in interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest earned on loans of $276,000, or 3.3%, resulting primarily from a decrease in the average yield on loans of 21 basis points. During the prior quarter, the average yield on loans was positively impacted by the recognition of $461,000 of interest income associated with the payoff of three loans on nonaccrual status.
The increase in interest income from the prior year quarter was primarily due to an increase in interest earned on loans of $463,000, or 6.0%, as a result of an increase in the average balance of loans of $12.0 million, or 2.2%, and an increase in the average yield on loans of 21 basis points. The increase in the average yield on loans was primarily attributable to the origination and repricing of loans at higher interest rates since the third quarter of 2024.
Interest income for the first nine months of 2025 was $26.8 million, an increase of $610,000, or 2.3%, compared to $26.2 million, for the first nine months of 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the interest earned on loans of $1.4 million, or 6.1%, as a result of an increase in the average yield on loans of 33 basis points and an increase in the average balance of loans of $1.4 million. The increase in the average yield on loans was primarily attributable to the origination and repricing of loans at higher interest rates since the third quarter of 2024. This increase in interest income was primarily offset by a decrease in interest earned on interest-earning deposits of $665,000, or 33.9%, resulting from a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning deposits of 102 basis points and a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning deposits of $8.9 million, or 17.7%.
Interest expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $3.0 million, an increase of $11,000, or 0.4%, from the second quarter of 2025, and a decrease of $472,000, or 13.6%, from $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2024.
The marginal increase in interest expense for the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the previous quarter was primarily due to an increase in the average interest rate paid on deposits of five basis points as a result of a shift in deposit composition. During the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the previous quarter, interest expense on deposits increased by $18,000, or 0.6%. The average interest rate paid on deposit accounts was impacted by a nine basis point increase in the average interest rate paid on money market accounts, partially offset by a five basis points decrease in the average interest rate paid on time deposits. Average interest-bearing deposit balances were $486.7 million, a 1.3% decrease during the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the previous quarter due to a decrease in average balances for savings accounts and time deposits, partially offset by an increase in average balances for money market accounts.
The decrease in interest expense for the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to a 27 basis point decrease in average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and a $20.8 million, or 4.1%, decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. During the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, interest expense on deposits decreased by $353,000, or 10.6%, due to a 27 basis points decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposit accounts and a $2.6 million, or 0.5%, decrease in the average balance of deposits. The decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposit accounts was primarily due to the decrease in market interest rates, time deposit repricing, and a marginal shift in deposit composition. Average interest-bearing deposit balances decreased during the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to a decrease in all deposit categories except money market accounts. During the third quarter of 2025, interest expense on borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $119,000, or 79.9%, compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to a $18.2 million, or 88.7%, decrease in average borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities outstanding due to the repayment of $8.3 million in borrowed funds during the first nine months of 2025.
Interest expense for the first nine months of 2025 was $8.9 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 15.3%, from $10.5 million for the first nine months of 2024. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a 28 basis points decrease in average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $28.4 million, or 5.5%. During the first nine months of 2025, there was a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense on total deposit accounts when compared to the first nine months of 2024 due to a 28 basis points decrease in the average interest rate paid on total deposits along with a decrease in average total deposit balance of $7.4 million, or 1.5%. The decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposit accounts was primarily due to the decrease in market interest rates, time deposit repricing, and a marginal shift in deposit composition. Interest expense on borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities also decreased $431,000, or 77.2%, during the first nine months of 2025 when compared to the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to a $21.0 million, or 83.6%, decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities outstanding as we reduced our FHLBNY borrowings.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $265,000, or 33.1%, as compared to $800,000 for the second quarter of 2025, and an increase of $274,000, or 34.6%, as compared to $791,000 for the third quarter of 2024. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $248,000 increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance as a result of the recognition of a death benefit and a $14,000 increase in unrealized gain on equity securities during the third quarter of 2025. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to a $182,000 increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance as a result of a death benefit, an $83,000 increase in unrealized gain on equity securities, and a $24,000 increase in earnings on annuity assets in connection with the purchase of annuities during the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by a $14,000 decrease in debit card fees.
Non-interest income was $2.6 million for the first nine months of 2025, an increase of $354,000, or 15.8%, as compared to the first nine months of 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $185,000 increase in earnings on bank owned life insurance as a result of the recognition of a death benefit during the third quarter of 2025, a $182,000 increase in unrealized gain on equity securities, and a $69,000 increase in earnings on annuity assets in connection with the purchase of annuities during the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by a $49,000 decrease in service charges and fees and a $31,000 decrease in debit card fees.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $218,000, or 4.7%, as compared to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in data processing expense of $57,000, or 12.5%, along with increases in professional services expense of $52,000, or 20.7%, and postage and supplies expense of $37,000, or 64.9%. Non-interest expense during the third quarter of 2025, when compared to the third quarter of 2024, remained relatively consistent, increasing $30,000, or 0.6%.
Non-interest expense was $14.3 million for the first nine months of 2025, a decrease of $360,000, or 2.4%, as compared to $14.7 million for the first nine months of 2024. The decrease related primarily to a decline in FDIC insurance expense of $469,000, or 67.7%, due to a decrease in premium assessments related to remediating regulatory matters. As a result of management’s efforts to decrease the use of external consultants and optimize operating expenses, professional services decreased by $217,000, or 20.0% and occupancy and equipment expenses decreased by $143,000, or 6.9%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $469,000, or 5.8%, and a $94,000, or 7.0%, increase in data processing primarily due to an increase in costs related to core system maintenance when compared to the prior year period.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $487,000 for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $109,000, or 28.8%, as compared to $378,000 for the second quarter of 2025, and an increase of $229,000, or 88.8%, as compared to $258,000 for the third quarter of 2024. The increase in income tax expense from the prior quarter and prior year quarter was primarily related to the increase in pre-tax income earned during the current quarter, and an increase in the effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate was 17.1% for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to 16.5% for the second quarter of 2025 and 16.2% for the third quarter of 2024, as a result of an increase to pre-tax, taxable income.

The increase in income tax expense from the first nine months of 2024 was primarily related to the increase in pre-tax income earned during the first nine months of 2025 and an increase in the effective tax rate during the first nine months of 2025. The effective tax rate was 16.7% for the first nine months of 2025 and 16.0% for the first nine months of 2024, as a result of an increase to pre-tax, taxable income.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $342,000 as of September 30, 2025 as compared to $314,000 as of December 31, 2024. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets decreased to 0.25% at September 30, 2025 as compared to 0.55% at December 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in non-performing assets of $2.0 million, or 51.8%. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of loans at amortized cost was 0.87% at September 30, 2025 and 0.93% at December 31, 2024.
The Company recorded a credit to the provision for credit losses of $269,000 during the third quarter of 2025, which was comprised of a $288,000 credit related to the loan portfolio, partially offset by a provision of $19,000 related to the reserve for unfunded commitments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a credit to the provision for credit losses of $221,000, which was comprised of a $249,000 credit related to the loan portfolio, partially offset by a provision of $28,000 related to the reserve for unfunded commitments.
