Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
The Bank of Princeton (the “Bank”) was incorporated on March 5, 2007, under the laws of the State of New Jersey and is a New Jersey state-chartered banking institution. The Bank was granted its bank charter on April 17, 2007, commenced operations on April 23, 2007, and is a full-service bank providing personal and business lending and deposit services. As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The area served by the Bank, through its 35 branches, is generally an area within an approximate 50-mile radius of Princeton, NJ, including parts of Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Ocean, and Somerset Counties in New Jersey, and additional areas in portions of Philadelphia, Montgomery, and Bucks Counties in Pennsylvania. The Bank also has two retail branches and conducts loan origination activities in select areas of New York.
The Bank offers traditional retail banking services, one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans, multi-family and commercial mortgage loans, construction loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit.
On January 10, 2023, Princeton Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation formed by the Bank (the “Company”), acquired all the outstanding stock of the Bank in a corporate reorganization. As a result, the Bank became the sole direct subsidiary of the Company, the Company became the holding company for the Bank and the stockholders of the Bank became stockholders of the Company. As of September 30, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries had 242 total employees and 241 full-time equivalent employees.
On August 23, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Cornerstone Financial Corporation (“CFC”), the holding company for Cornerstone Bank, a New Jersey chartered state bank headquartered in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey that primarily served the South Jersey market. On that date, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of CFC in exchange for the Company’s stock, CFC was merged into the Company, and Cornerstone Bank was merged with and into the Bank.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Bayard Lane, LLC, Bayard Properties, LLC, 112 Fifth Avenue, LLC, TBOP Delaware Investment Company and TBOP REIT, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the FDIC. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because of uncertainties associated with estimating the amounts, timing and likelihood of possible outcomes, actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, and evaluation of the potential impairment of goodwill.
Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate as of September 30, 2025. While management uses current information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions in the market area or other factors.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require the Company to effect certain changes that result in additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Segment Reporting
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvement to Reportable Segment Disclosures” on January 1, 2024. The Company has determined that all of its banking divisions and subsidiaries meet the aggregation criteria of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 280, Segment Reporting, as its current operating model is structured whereby banking divisions and subsidiaries serve a similar customer base utilizing a company-wide offering of similar products and services managed through similar processes and platforms that are collectively reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).
The CODM regularly assesses performance of the aggregated single operating and reporting segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income calculated on the same basis as is net income reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The CODM is also regularly provided with expense information at a level consistent with that disclosed in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued (ASU) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as additional information about income taxes paid. The ASU also removes certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant.
The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis, as permitted by the guidance. The adoption did not impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, but it will result in enhanced income tax disclosures beginning with the Company’s annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements” amends disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The effective dates will depend, in part, on whether an entity is already subject to the SEC’s current disclosure requirements. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period adjusted to include the effect of outstanding stock options, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. Shares issued during any period are weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding.

Mortgage-backed securities (GSEs)
The Company uses a defined methodology for allowance for credit losses on its investment securities available-for-sale. The Company did not have an allowance for credit losses on its investment securities available-for-sale as of September 30, 2025 or 2024.
The Company’s securities primarily consist of the following types of instruments; U.S. guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, U.S. guaranteed agency bonds, state and political subdivision issued bonds, mortgage related securities guaranteed by the SBA and U.S. treasury notes. We believe it is reasonable to expect that the securities with a credit guarantee of the U.S. government will have a zero-credit loss. Therefore, no reserve was recorded for U.S. guaranteed securities or bonds at September 30, 2025. The state and political subdivision securities carry a minimum investment rating of A by either Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s. Some of the smaller municipalities also have insurance to cover the Company in the event of default. Therefore, the Company did not project a credit loss and no reserve was recorded as of September 30, 2025.
At September 30, 2025, the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio consisted of approximately 268 securities, of which 151 available-for-sale securities were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months and 24 available-for-sale securities were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. The available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months consisted of 97 municipal securities aggregating $31.3 million with a loss of $2.5 million, 49 mortgage-backed securities-GSE aggregating $27.6 million with a loss of $5.2 million, 1 agency security aggregating $5.6 million with a loss of $783 thousand and 4 SBA securities aggregating $79 thousand with a loss of $1 thousand. The Company does not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses primarily relate to interest rate fluctuations and not credit concerns.
Accrued interest receivable on investment securities represents interest earned but not yet collected on the Bank’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities portfolios. Accrued interest receivable related to investments, at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was $7.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively. Accrued interest receivable is generally written off when collection of the underlying interest is deemed uncollectible, which typically occurs when the related security is placed on nonaccrual status. When a security is placed on nonaccrual, previously accrued but uncollected interest is reversed from interest income. There were no investment securities on nonaccrual status and no write-offs of accrued interest receivable for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
There are no securities pledged as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

The Company purchased approximately $74.2 million in residential loans and $5.1 million in consumer loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Besides the loans acquired in the acquisition of Cornerstone Bank in the third quarter of 2024, the Company did not purchase any loans during the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company uses the discounted cash flow methodology in determining the appropriate quantitative adjustments, which projects future losses, based on historical and peer loss data, as part of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) reserve. Qualitative adjustments include and consider changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions, an assessment of the lending environment, including underwriting standards, and other factors affecting credit quality. There were no significant changes to the Company’s ACL methodology for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Note 4 – Loans Receivable (continued)
The calculation of the allowance for credit losses does not include any accrued interest receivable. The Company’s policy is to write off any interest not collected after 90 days or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company wrote off $933 thousand in accrued interest receivable for loans, compared to $692 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Accrued interest receivable related to loans, at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was $7.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively. The performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio is also monitored by analyzing the age of the loan receivables by the length of time a recorded payment is past due.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company evaluates risk ratings on an ongoing basis and assigns one of the following ratings: pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful. The Company engages a third party to review its assessment on a semiannual basis. The Company classifies residential and consumer loans as either performing or nonperforming based on payment status.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had nine loans totaling $16.7 million that were individually analyzed for potential credit loss, and all nine loans have real estate as credit support. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had nine loans totaling $26.8 million that were individually analyzed for potential credit loss and all the loans have real estate credit support.
Occasionally, the Company will modify the contractual terms of loans to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a way to mitigate loss, proactively work with borrowers in financial difficulty, or to comply with regulations regarding the treatment of certain bankruptcy filing and discharge situations. Typically, such concessions may consist of a reduction in interest rate to a below market rate, taking into account the credit quality of the note, extension of additional credit base on receipt of adequate collateral, or a deferment or reduction of payments (principal or interest) which materially alters the Company’s position or significantly extends the note’s maturity date, such that the present value of cash flows to be received is materially less than those contractually established at the loan’s origination. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount forgiven is charged off against the allowance for credit losses on loans. There were no modifications to borrowers with financial difficulties and no previously modified loans that defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the twelve-months ended December 31, 2024.

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
The Company follows the guidance on fair value measurements now codified as FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“Topic 820”). Fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in sales transactions on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period-end and have not been re-evaluated or updated for the purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each period-end.
The fair value measurement hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at September 30, 2025 were as follows:

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).
There were no assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2025.
For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2024, were as follows:

There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period.
20
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures:
Investment Securities
The fair value of securities available-for-sale (carried at fair value) and held-to-maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. Level 2 debt securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry, and not adjusted by management. Level 2 fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things.
Individual evaluated loans
Individual loans carried at fair value are those loans in which the Company has measured for a reserve and are generally based on the fair value of the related loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds, discounted for estimated selling costs or other factors the Company determines will impact collection of proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted bank stock, accrued interest receivable, equity method investments, and accrued interest payable are measured at the Company’s carrying amount.
The fair value of loans, deposits and borrowings are measured on a discounted cash flow basis using current rates and terms.
The Mortgage servicing rights are carried at estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is obtained through independent third-party valuations.
Limitations
The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Further, the foregoing estimates may not reflect the actual amount that could be realized if all or substantially all the financial instruments were offered for sale. This is due to the fact that no market exists for a sizable portion of the loan, deposit and off-balance sheet instruments.
In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to value anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.
Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be practical due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.
22
Note 8 – Leases
Leases ASC (Topic 842) establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to record a right of use asset (“ROU”) and a lease liability for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Company is obligated under 30 operating lease agreements for 28 branches and its corporate offices with terms extending through 2042. The Company’s lease agreements include options to renew at the Company’s discretion. The extensions are reasonably certain to be exercised, therefore they were considered in the calculations of the ROU asset and lease liability.
The following table represents the classification of the Company’s right of use and lease liability.

Note 9 – Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible
In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recorded $5.5 million of goodwill along with a core deposit intangible asset of $2.8 million for the Cornerstone Bank acquisition in 2024, and recorded $8.9 million of goodwill along with a core deposit intangible asset of $4.2 million for the five branches acquired in 2019. The Noah Bank acquisition that occurred in 2023 did not generate any goodwill, but the Bank recorded $98 thousand in a core deposit intangible asset. The core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over 10 years, using the sum of the year’s digits. Except as set forth below, GAAP requires that goodwill be tested for impairment annually based on closing date or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company uses May 31st as its annual evaluation date. The reporting unit was determined to be our community banking operations, which is our only operating segment.
ASC Topic 350-20 guidance requires an annual review of the fair value of a Reporting Unit that has goodwill in order to determine if it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a Reporting Unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. A qualitative factor test can be performed to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If this qualitative test determines it is not more likely than not (less than 50% probability) that the fair value of the Reporting Unit is less than the Carrying Value, then the Company does not have to perform a quantitative test and goodwill can be considered not impaired. After performing the qualitative factor test, the result was the Company determined that a quantitative test would be performed at May 31, 2025, primarily due to the Company’s common stock trading at 80.0% of book value. This was a possible indication that a goodwill impairment may exist. The result of this quantitative test indicates that fair value is greater than book value and that no Reporting Unit goodwill impairment exists.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill and core deposit intangible assets are summarized as follows:

Note 10 – Subsequent Events
On October 29, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.35 per share of common stock to shareholders of record on November 7, 2025, payable on November 26, 2025.
Note 11 – Risk and Uncertainties
The occurrence of events which adversely affect the global, national, and regional economies may have a negative impact on our business. Like other financial institutions, our business relies upon the ability and willingness of our customers to transact business with us, including banking, borrowing and other financial transactions. A strong and stable economy at each of the local, federal, and global levels is often a critical component of consumer confidence and typically correlates positively with our customers’ ability and willingness to transact certain types of business with us. Local and global events outside of our control which disrupt the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, United States and/or global economy may therefore negatively impact our business and financial condition.
Government economic programs intended to backstop and bolster the economy through the pandemic have ended, and the nation’s economy has entered an inflationary phase. The Consumer Price Index has risen to levels not experienced since the 1980s while the labor market remains very tight, contributing additional inflationary pressure. To address the inflation problem, the Federal Reserve has reversed course on its previously accommodative monetary policies and modestly decreased short-term interest rates. These actions are intended to slow overall economic activity and risk entering the economy into a recession.
Regional conflicts around the world, including between Russia and Ukraine, have exacerbated pandemic-related supply chain issues, upset numerous global markets including energy and certain raw materials, and generally added to economic uncertainty and geopolitical instability. Any or all could have negative downstream effects on the Company’s operating results, the extent of which is indeterminable at this time.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report, and with our audited consolidated financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” presented in our Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements,” including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company (including this press release), which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). The most significant factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include the ongoing federal budget stalemate in Congress, the ongoing impact of higher tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, higher inflation levels, and general economic and recessionary concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause an increase in loan delinquencies, a reduction in financial transactions and business activities including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations, difficulties in managing liquidity in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market, and supply chain disruptions. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following factors: the global impact of the military conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East; the impact of any future pandemics or other natural disasters; civil unrest, rioting, acts or threats of terrorism, or actions taken by the local, state and Federal governments in response to such events, which could impact business and economic conditions in our market area; the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company and Bank conduct operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; market and monetary fluctuations; market volatility; the value of the Bank’s products and services as perceived by actual and prospective customers, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services; the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Bank’s products and services; credit risk associated with the Bank’s lending activities; risks relating to the real estate market and the Bank’s real estate collateral; the impact of changes in applicable laws and regulations and requirements arising out of our supervision by banking regulators; other regulatory requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank; and the timing and nature of the regulatory response to any applications filed by the Company and the Bank; technological changes; other acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; those risks under the heading “Risk Factors” set forth in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company, except as required by applicable law or regulation.
Throughout this document, references to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the Company and the Bank.

Refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in this document.
Economy
The 3rd quarter kicked off with a bang with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law on July 4. The legislation made permanent many of the 2017 TCJA tax cuts, increased and inflation-adjusted the child tax credit, raised the SALT cap to $40k, and added a number of temporary tax cuts. It also ended a number of clean energy subsidies and credits, added work and residency requirements for Medicaid and SNAP programs, and increased border security funding. The net effect of the package is projected to boost economic growth fractionally in 2026, but investment incentives and tax certainty could eventually yield a larger impact.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
General
Total assets were $2.23 billion at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $111.1 million , or 4.75% when compared to $2.34 billion at the end of 2024. The primary reasons for the decrease in total assets were related to decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $44.5 million, investment securities of $37.2 million, and net loans of $25.1 million.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $44.5 million, or 37.9%, to $72.9 million at September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024.
Investment securities
Total available-for-sale investment securities decreased $37.2 million, or 15.1%, to $209.9 million at September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. This decrease was related to the payoffs of mortgage-backed securities of U.S. government sponsored enterprises and U.S government agency securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Loans
Loans, net of deferred loan fees and costs, decreased $25.1 million, or 1.38%, to $1.79 billion at September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. The decrease in the Company’s net loans consisted of decreases of $54.2 million in construction loans, $32.0 million in commercial real estate loans, and $11.5 million in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by increases of $67.9 million in residential mortgages, and $4.7 million in home equity and consumer loans.
The Company’s CRE loan portfolio, which includes multi-family, land, owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied CRE loans, was $1.35 billion or 75.3% of total loans of $1.79 billion at September 30, 2025. There were 748 loans in the Company’s CRE portfolio with an average and median loan size of $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Loan to Value (“LTV”) estimates are less than 70% for $1.25 billion or 92.7% of the CRE portfolio and less than 80% for $1.34 billion or 99.6% of the CRE portfolio.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, charge-offs were $0 and $10.0 million, and recoveries were $86 thousand and $302 thousand, respectively. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, charge-offs were $278 thousand and $645 thousand, and recoveries were $172 thousand and $378 thousand, respectively. The coverage ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period end loans was 1.14% at September 30, 2025 and 1.30% at December 31, 2024.
At September 30, 2025, non-performing assets totaled $16.7 million, a decrease of $10.1 million when compared to the amount at December 31, 2024. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, was 0.93% at September 30, 2025 and 1.47% at December 31, 2024.
Total deposits on September 30, 2025, decreased $104.0 million, or 5.12%, when compared to December 31, 2024. The decrease in the Company’s deposits consisted primarily of decreases in certificates of deposit of $62.8 million, money market deposits of $25.3 million, non-interest-bearing demand deposits of $6.6 million, interest-bearing demand deposits of $6.3 million, and savings deposits of $2.9 million. On balance sheet liquidity remains strong at September 30, 2025.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $585.2 million in uninsured deposits, consisting of $91.6 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, $197.3 million in interest-bearing demand deposits, $156.1 million in money market accounts, $26.1 million in savings deposits and $114.1 million in certificates of deposits.
Stockholders’ equity
Total stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2025, increased $4.6 million or 1.74% when compared to December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in retained earnings of $6.2 million (which consisted of $12.5 million in net income, partially offset by $6.3 million of cash dividends recorded during the period), an increase in paid-in capital of $2.7 million primarily due to the exercise of stock options, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3.3 million, partially offset by a $7.6 million increase in treasury stock due to our stock repurchase program. The ratio of equity to total assets at September 30, 2025, and at December 31, 2024, was 12.0% and 11.2%, respectively.
Liquidity
Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal repayments of securities and outstanding loans, and funds provided from operations. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earnings assets such as overnight deposits or U.S. agency securities, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, general interest rates, economic conditions and competition greatly influence deposit flows and repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities.
As a member of the FHLB we are eligible to borrow funds in an aggregate amount of up to 50% of the Company’s total assets, subject to its collateral requirements. The Company maintained a $60.0 million letter of credit with the FHLB supporting municipal deposits as of September 30, 2025. Based on available eligible securities and qualified real estate loan collateral, the Company had the ability to borrow an additional $542.0 million as of September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, the Bank was eligible to use the Federal Reserve discount window for borrowings, based on assets pledged as collateral as of the applicable date. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding advances from the discount window.
The Company is also a shareholder of Atlantic Community Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”). As of September 30, 2025, the Company had available borrowing capacity with ACBB of $10.0 million to provide short-term liquidity generally for a period of not more than fourteen days. No amounts were outstanding under our line of credit with ACBB at September 30, 2025.
We believe that our current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for our current cash flow needs.
29
Capital Resources
Regulatory Capital Requirements. Because the Company qualifies as a “small bank holding company” under the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement, it is exempt from the Federal Reserve’s risk-based capital and leverage rules. With respect to the Bank, Federally insured, state-chartered non-member banks such as the Bank are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Current FDIC capital standards require these institutions to satisfy a common equity Tier 1 capital requirement and a Tier 1 capital requirement, a leverage capital requirement and a risk-based capital requirement.
In addition, in order to make capital distributions and pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers without restriction, an institution must also maintain additional common equity in excess of the minimum requirements. This excess is referred to as a capital conservation buffer. At September 30, 2025, the required capital conservation buffer is 2.50%.
Under the risk-based capital requirements, “total” capital (a combination of core and “supplementary” capital) must equal at least 8.0% of “risk-weighted” assets. The FDIC also is authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis. Management believes, as of September 30, 2025, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and is “well capitalized” under applicable regulations.

Comparison of Operating Results for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
The Company reported net income of $6.5 million, or $0.95 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of ($4.5) million, or ($0.68) per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2024. The increase in net income for the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to $7.8 million in Cornerstone Bank merger-related expenses recorded in the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of $2.5 million in net-interest income, and a decrease in the provision for credit losses of $5.3 million, partially offset by an increase in other non-interest expenses of $1.6 million, and an increase of $2.9 million in income tax expense.
Interest income
Interest income increased $935 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Interest income on loans increased $1.8 million due to an increase in the average balance of loans of $125.9 million, partially offset by a decrease of 9 basis points on the yield on loans. Other interest and dividend income decreased $1.8 million due to a decrease in average balances of $126.7 million and a decrease in the yield of 86 basis points. Interest on taxable available-for-sale securities increased $941 thousand due to a 39 basis point increase in yield and a $67.3 million increase in the average balance of taxable available-for-sale securities.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased $1.6 million to $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease of 53 basis points in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits over the same prior year period, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $53.3 million.
The Company recorded a reversal of credit losses of $672 thousand during the third quarter of 2025, which consisted of a $658 thousand decrease recorded to the allowance of credit losses due to updated peer loss rate data, and a decrease to the provision for credit losses of $14 thousand related to unfunded commitments, which are recorded in other liabilities on the Company’s statements of financial condition. There were no charge-offs recorded, and recoveries were $86 thousand, for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Non-interest income
Total non-interest income was $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $148 thousand or 7.2% when compared to the same prior year period. The decrease over the prior year’s third quarter was primarily due to a decrease in other non-interest income of $414 thousand, partially offset by an increase in loan fees of $142 thousand and an increase in income from bank owned life insurance of $83 thousand. The decrease in other non-interest income for the third quarter was related to a net loss on an equity investment in the amount of $471 thousand.
Non-interest expense
Total non-interest expense was $13.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $6.2 million or 30.9% when compared to the same prior year period. This decrease was primarily related to Cornerstone Bank merger-related expenses of $7.8 million recorded in the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits expense of $537 thousand, professional fees of $413 thousand, data processing and communications expense of $252 thousand, and other non-interest expenses of $241 thousand.
Provision for income taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.9%, compared to an income tax benefit of ($1.1) million resulting in an effective tax rate of (20.1) % for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Comparison of Operating Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
The Company reported net income of $12.5 million, or $1.82 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net income of $5.0 million, or $0.77 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2024. The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to $7.8 million in Cornerstone Bank merger-related expenses recorded in the third quarter of 2024, and an increase of $8.7 million in net-interest income, partially offset by an increase in other non-interest expenses of $5.0 million, an increase of $2.3 million in income tax expense, and an increase in the provision for credit losses of $1.9 million..
Interest income increased $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Interest income on loans increased $10.1 million due to an increase in the average balance of loans of $228.3 million partially as a result of the Cornerstone Bank acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in the yield of 7 basis points. Other interest and dividend income decreased $4.8 million due to a decrease in average balances of $109.5 million and a decrease in the yield of 93 basis points. Interest on taxable available-for-sale securities increased $4.3 million due to a 57 basis point increase in yield and a $105.9 million increase in the average balance of taxable available-for-sale securities, partially as a result of the Cornerstone Bank acquisition.
Interest expense on deposits increased $849 thousand to $41.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $190.7 million, partially as a result of the Cornerstone Bank acquisition, partially offset by a decrease on the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits of 34 basis points over the same prior year period.
The Company recorded a $6.6 million provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and recorded $4.7 million provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same prior year period, is primarily due to a net charge-off of $7.5 million recorded in the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by a decrease in net loans of $25.1 million since December 31, 2024. $3.2 million of the $4.7 million provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due to a $3.2 million provision for credit loss for the purchased non-credit deteriorated loans recorded in 2024 related to the Cornerstone Bank acquisition. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, charge-offs were $10.0 million and recoveries were $301 thousand.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, non-interest income increased $221 thousand or 3.6%, from the same nine-month period in 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, non-interest expense was $41.2 million, compared to $44.0 million for the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to Cornerstone merger-related expenses of $7.8 million recorded in 2024, partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.8 million, data processing and communications expense of $857 thousand, professional fees of $769 thousand, occupancy and equipment expense of $612 thousand and federal deposit insurance assessments of $450 thousand.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Bank recorded an income tax expense of $3.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.5%, compared to an income tax expense of $1.0 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

How We Manage Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk which is inherent in our lending, investment and deposit gathering activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages interest rate risk exposure. In addition to market risk, our primary risk is credit risk on our loan portfolio. We attempt to manage credit risk through our loan underwriting and oversight policies.
The principal objective of our interest rate risk management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk embedded in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the level of risk appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and manage the risk consistent with approved guidelines. We seek to manage our exposure to risks from changes in interest rates while at the same time trying to improve our net interest spread. We monitor interest rate risk as such risk relates to our operating strategies. We have established an Asset/Liability Committee which is comprised of both Management and members of the Board of Directors. The Asset/Liability Committee meets on a regular basis and is responsible for reviewing our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position. Both the extent and direction of shifts in interest rates are uncertainties that could have a negative impact on future earnings.
Gap Analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring the Company’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to affect adversely net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to affect adversely net interest income.
The table below sets forth the amounts of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at September 30, 2025, which we expect, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown (the “GAP Table”). Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the contractual maturity of the asset or liability. The table sets forth an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at September 30, 2025, based on contractual maturities, anticipated prepayments, and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be redeployed and/or repriced as a result of contractual amortization and anticipated prepayments of adjustable-rate loans and fixed-rate loans, and as a result of contractual rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate loans may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.
37
Net Portfolio Value Analysis. Our interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through the use of a model which generates estimates of the changes in our net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The following table sets forth our NPV as of September 30, 2025, and reflects the changes to NPV as a result of immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as indicated.

As is the case with the GAP Table, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV require the making of certain assumptions which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the models presented assume that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV model provides an indication of interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such model is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results.
