Previous wording

Financial institutions can be affected by changing conditions in the real estate and financial markets. The effects of geopolitical instability, including the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, foreign currency exchange volatility, volatility in global capital markets, inflationary pressures, higher tariffs, and higher interest rates may meaningfully impact loan production, income levels, and the measurement of certain significant estimates such as the allowance for credit losses. Moreover, in a period of economic contraction, we may experience elevated levels of credit losses, reduced interest income, impairment of financial assets, diminished access to capital markets and other funding sources, and reduced demand for our products and services. Volatility in the housing markets, real estate values and unemployment levels results in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions. Our lending relationships are primarily with small to mid-sized businesses and individual consumers residing in and around southern New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We focus our lending efforts primarily in three lending areas: residential mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans, and construction loans. As a result of this geographic concentration, a significant broad-based deterioration in economic conditions in these areas could have a material adverse impact on the quality of our loan portfolio, results of operations and future growth potential.

Current wording

At March 31, 2026, we had total assets of $2.21 billion, and total equity of $335.6 million. Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $11.8 million.

Previous wording

Net Income: Our net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended September, 30, 2025 increased $3.1 million, or 41.6%, to $10.6 million, compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Earnings per share were $0.90 per basic common share and $0.89 per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.63 per basic common share and $0.62 per diluted common share for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses, a decrease in non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense.

Current wording

Net Income: Our net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $4.1 million, or 52.3%, to $11.8 million, compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Previous wording

Net Interest Income: Our net interest income was $20.2 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $14.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $5.4 million, or 37.0%. Net interest income increased during the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in interest and fees on loans, and a decrease in interest expense on borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in interest on deposits with banks, and by an increase in interest expense on deposits. Interest income increased $4.4 million, or 13.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase of $4.7 million in interest and fees on loans, due to higher loan balances and market interest rates. Interest from deposits with banks decreased $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower average cash balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB"). The increase in interest income was also due to a decrease in interest expense on borrowings during the three months ended September 30, 2025 of $1.5 million, or 60.3%, primarily due to the redemption of the Company's $30.0 million, 6.5% fixed to floating rate subordinated notes, as well as the repayment of $30.0 million of FHLBNY advances, during the three months ended September 30, 2025. This was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits of $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase interest-bearing deposit balances during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Current wording

Interest income increased $3.1 million, or 9.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase of $4.4 million in interest and fees on loans, due to higher loan balances and market interest rates. Interest from deposits with banks decreased $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower average cash balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") and lower interest earning rates. The increase in net interest income was also due to a decrease in interest expense on deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $1.7 million, or 11.5%, primarily due to a decrease in interest rates. Interest expense on borrowings decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, by $0.7 million, or 33.3%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, due to a decrease in average balances outstanding and a decrease in interest rates paid on borrowings.

The increase in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily due to an increase of $48.4 million in the construction loan portfolio balance and an increase of $15.6 million in the commercial non-owner occupied loan portfolio balance from June 30, 2025, partially offset by a decrease in the multi-family loan portfolio of $12.8 million, and a decrease in the loss rate for the residential - 1 to 4 family investment loan portfolio from June 30, 2025.

Current wording

Provision for credit losses: For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the provision for credit losses was $0.2 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.4 million.

Previous wording

Non-interest Income: Our non-interest income was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.05 million, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
