Current report
The Company is focused on organically growing its position in the New York metropolitan area. Growth in other markets across the country is generally dependent on the business activities of our New York-based customers. Through an experienced team of commercial relationship managers and its integrated, client-centric approach, the Company has grown market share by deepening existing client relationships and continually expanding its client base through referrals and the ability to offer alternatives to traditional retail banking products. The Company has converted many of its commercial lending clients into full retail relationship banking clients. Given the size of the market in which the Company operates and its differentiated approach to client service, there is significant opportunity to further grow its loans and deposits. By combining high-tech service with the relationship-based focus of a community bank with an extensive suite of financial products and services, the Company is well-positioned to continue to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities available in the New York metropolitan area and elsewhere.
Current report
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company completed a public equity offering of approximately 2.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock (including the exercise of the underwriters’ allotment option) at a public offering price of $85.00 per share, resulting in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $186.5 million.
Current report
On April 29, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved the company’s 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP, which was approved by the Board of Directors on March 18, 2026, is designed to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. 250,000 shares of common stock of the company will be made available for sale under the ESPP.
Current report
The measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost is based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company continuously monitors current conditions and events and will evaluate potential changes that will enhance the estimation process. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the peer group selection process, macroeconomic forecast weightings, and the qualitative factor process were adjusted to reflect current conditions and events. The Company accounted for these revisions prospectively as a change in accounting estimate beginning March 31, 2026, and no prior period amounts were adjusted. The effect of this change in accounting estimate for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was a net decrease in the provision for credit losses of $6.4 million, which is $4.6 million, net of tax, or $0.43 per basic earnings per share and $0.42 per dilutive earnings per share.
Current report
Total cash and cash equivalents were $672.4 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $278.8 million, or 70.8% from December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the common stock public equity offering during the first quarter of 2026, which resulted in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $186.5 million.
Current report
Non-performing loans decreased to $71.1 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $86.9 million at December 31, 2025.

The table below sets forth key asset quality ratios (dollars in thousands):
Current report
The ACL for loans was $82.1 million at March 31, 2026, as compared to $97.1 million at December 31, 2025. The $15.0 million decrease in the ACL primarily reflects a decrease of $11.8 million due to the adjustments made to the Bank’s ACL estimation process and changes in the outlook for certain macroeconomic variables, partially offset by loan growth. See “—Critical Accounting Policies” above for more information on the adjustments made to the Bank’s allowance for credit losses. In addition, the $15.0 million decrease in the ACL also reflects a net $3.0 million decrease related to a $9.3 million provision for credit losses and subsequent $12.3 million charge-off of one out-of-market CRE loan and two C&I loans.
Current report
Net income was $31.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $15.1 million as compared to $16.4 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Current report
Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 4.08% compared to 3.68% for the first quarter of 2025. The 40 basis point increase reflects the decline in short-term interest rates.
Current report
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume (in thousands).
Current report
Interest income increased $16.2 million to $134.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $118.8 million for the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to a $724.7 million increase in the average balance of loans and a $424.0 million increase in overnight deposits.
Current report
The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was ($2.3) million, as compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The release in the provision for credit losses primarily reflects a decrease of $11.8 million due to the adjustments made to the Bank’s allowance for credit loss estimation process and changes in the outlook for certain macroeconomic variables, partially offset by loan growth. See “—Critical Accounting Policies” above for more information on the adjustments made to the Bank’s allowance for credit loss estimation process. The provision for credit losses also reflects an increase of $9.3 million related to one C&I and two CRE loans that were subsequently charged-off.
Current report
Non-interest income decreased $1.1 million to $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, driven primarily by the absence of one-time non-refundable program fees of $822,000 reflected in the first quarter of 2025.

Previous wording
One of the more significant judgments involved in estimating the Company’s ACL relates to the macroeconomic forecasts used to estimate credit losses and the relative weightings applied to them. To illustrate the impact of changes in these forecasts to the Company’s ACL, the Company performed a hypothetical sensitivity analysis that decreased the weight on the baseline scenario by 33% and equally allocated the difference to increase the weights on the more optimistic and adverse scenarios. All else equal, the impact of this hypothetical forecast would result in a net increase of approximately $7.4 million, or 7.8%, in the Company’s total ACL for loans and loan commitments as of September 30, 2025. This hypothetical analysis is intended to illustrate the impact of adverse changes in the macroeconomic forecasts at a point in time and is not intended to reflect the full nature and extent of potential future change in the ACL. It is difficult to estimate how potential changes in any one of the quantitative inputs or qualitative factors might affect the overall ACL and the Company’s current assessments may not reflect the potential future impact of changes to those inputs or factors.
