**Hanover Bancorp, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Results Highlighted by Continued Margin Expansion and Declares $0.10 Quarterly Cash Dividend**

**First Quarter Performance Highlights**

● **Net Income:** Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 totaled $1.9 million or $0.25 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares). Adjusted (non-GAAP) net income (excluding severance expenses) was $4.0 million or $0.54 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

● **Net Interest Income:** Net interest income was $16.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $0.5 million, or 3.36% from the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and $1.7 million, or 11.85%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2025, representing the highest level since the third quarter of 2022.

● **Net Interest Margin Expansion:** The Company's net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 increased to 2.96% from 2.84% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and 2.68% in the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

● **Subordinated Debt:** On March 12, 2026, the Company completed the private placement of $35 million of 7.25% fixed-to-floating subordinated notes due in 2036. Proceeds were used to redeem the Company's previously outstanding 8.54% floating rate subordinated notes on April 15, 2026 and to enhance the Bank's capital base.

● **Executed Wholesale Funding Optimization:** In February 2026, the Bank proactively restructured $60.3 million of FHLB advances into new, flexible, put-feature advances. The restructuring reduced the weighted average borrowing cost from 4.27% to 3.47%, saving approximately $40 thousand in monthly interest expense, while maintaining term funding and call protection.

● **Quarterly Cash Dividend:** The Company's Board of Directors approved a $0.10 per share cash dividend on both common shares and Series A preferred shares payable on May 18, 2026 to stockholders of record on May 11, 2026.

● **Long Island Expansion:** Regulatory authorization has been received for the opening of a full-service branch in a state-of-the-art facility in downtown Riverhead, New York. In anticipation of the branch opening later this year, a temporary loan production office in Riverhead with business development staff became operational in March 2026.

**Mineola, NY – April 27, 2026 –** Hanover Bancorp, Inc. ("Hanover" or "the Company" – NASDAQ: HNVR), the holding company for Hanover Community Bank ("the Bank"), today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and the declaration of a $0.10 per share cash dividend on both common shares and Series A preferred shares payable on May 18, 2026 to stockholders of record on May 11, 2026.

**Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026**

The Company reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 of $1.9 million or $0.25 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) versus $1.5 million or $0.20 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company recorded adjusted (non-GAAP) net income (excluding severance expenses of $2.1 million, net of tax) of $4.0 million or $0.54 per diluted share in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, versus adjusted (non-GAAP) net income (excluding core system conversion expenses of $2.6 million, net of tax) of $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share in the comparable 2025 quarter. Returns on average assets, average stockholders' equity and average tangible equity were 0.33%, 3.74% and 4.14%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, versus 0.27%, 3.11% and 3.45%, respectively, for the comparable quarter of 2025. Adjusted (non-GAAP) returns, exclusive of severance expenses, on average assets, average stockholders' equity and average tangible equity were 0.70%, 7.98% and 8.83%, respectively, in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, versus 0.73%, 8.36% and 9.27%, respectively, in the comparable 2025 quarter, exclusive of core system conversion expenses for the 2025 quarter.

The increase in net income recorded in the first quarter of 2026 from the comparable 2025 quarter resulted from an increase in net interest income. This was partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income, consisting primarily of gain on sale of loans held-for-sale and an increase in income tax expense.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 includes a severance payment related to a Board approved Transition Agreement dated February 12, 2026 between the Company and the former President of the Company and the Bank, McClelland Wilcox. In connection with a management restructuring initiative, Mr. Wilcox's last day of employment was March 31, 2026 and, pursuant to the terms of his Employment Agreement, he was entitled to a severance benefit of approximately $2.15 million.

Net interest income was $16.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $1.7 million, or 11.85% from the comparable 2025 quarter. This increase was due to improvement in the Company's net interest margin to 2.96% in the 2026 quarter from 2.68% in the comparable 2025 quarter. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 3.51% in the 2026 quarter from 4.01% in the comparable 2025 quarter, a decrease of 50 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by a 17 basis point decrease in the yield on interest earning assets to 5.84% in the 2026 quarter from 6.01% in the first quarter of 2025. Net interest income on a linked quarter basis increased $0.5 million or 3.36%, resulting from a 16 basis point decrease in cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Excluding interest expense of $100 thousand resulting from the temporary carrying of multiple subordinated debt issuances, as discussed below, the Bank's net interest margin was 2.98% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

On March 12, 2026, the Company issued $35 million of 10-year fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with a fixed coupon rate of 7.25% for the first five years. The Company used the net proceeds to provide capital to support growth of the consolidated entity and to redeem in full, its previously outstanding $25 million of 8.54% floating rate subordinated notes on April 15, 2026, thereby reducing the Company's cost of funds.

Michael P. Puorro, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Company's quarterly results: "We are pleased with first quarter 2026 results which reflect strengthening core performance and disciplined balance sheet management, highlighted by $4.0 million in adjusted net income, increasing return on average assets, credit stabilization, and continued margin expansion to 2.96%. We also enhanced our capital position through a $35 million subordinated debt issuance, reduced funding costs through proactive balance sheet optimization, maintained our commitment to shareholder returns with a quarterly dividend, and advanced our strategic expansion into Long Island."

**Balance Sheet Highlights**

Total assets were $2.37 billion at March 31, 2026 versus $2.38 billion at December 31, 2025. Total securities available for sale ("AFS") at March 31, 2026 were $105.8 million, an increase of $6.2 million from December 31, 2025, primarily driven by growth in U.S. GSE residential mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds, offset by decreases in U.S. Treasury securities and collateralized loan obligations.

Total deposits were $2.02 billion at March 31, 2026 versus $2.03 billion at December 31, 2025. Our loan to deposit ratio was 99% both at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

In February 2026, the Bank executed a proactive wholesale funding optimization strategy, restructuring five FHLB advances maturing in 2027 and 2028 and totaling $60.3 million in two new advances of equal principal with embedded put features to enhance balance sheet flexibility. The transaction reduced the weighted average all-in borrowing cost from 4.27% to 3.47%, generating approximately $40 thousand in monthly interest expense savings while preserving appropriate term funding and call protection.

Borrowings at March 31, 2026 were $59.8 million, with a weighted average rate and term of 3.49% and 54 months, respectively. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $59.8 million (net of $470 thousand deferred prepayment penalty) and $100.7 million, respectively, of term FHLB advances outstanding. The Company had no FHLB overnight borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under lines of credit with correspondent banks at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Stockholders' equity was $201.4 million at March 31, 2026 as compared to $200.3 million at December 31, 2025. Retained earnings increased by $1.1 million due primarily to net income of $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which was offset by $0.7 million of dividends declared. The accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2026 was 0.33% of total equity and was comprised of a $0.4 million after tax net unrealized loss on the investment portfolio and a $0.2 million after tax net unrealized loss on derivatives. Book value per share (including Series A preferred shares) increased to $27.11 at March 31, 2026 from $27.02 at December 31, 2025. Tangible book value per share (including Series A preferred shares) increased to $24.50 at March 31, 2026 from $24.41 at December 31, 2025.

**Loan Portfolio**

The Bank's loan portfolio was $1.99 billion at March 31, 2026 and $2.00 billion at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, the Company's residential loan portfolio (including home equity) amounted to $764.1 million, with an average loan balance of $491 thousand and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 56%. Commercial real estate (including construction) and multifamily loans totaled $1.08 billion at March 31, 2026, with an average loan balance of $1.5 million and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 59%. As discussed below, approximately 35% of the multifamily portfolio is subject to rent regulation. The Company's commercial real estate concentration ratio continues to improve, decreasing to 354% of capital at March 31, 2026 from 362% at December 31, 2025, with loans secured by office space accounting for 2% of the total loan portfolio and totaling $41.5 million at March 31, 2026. The Company's loan pipeline at March 31, 2026 is approximately $114.7 million, with approximately 58% being niche-residential, SBA and USDA lending opportunities.

The Bank originates loans for its portfolio and for sale in the secondary market under a residential flow origination program. During the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company sold $35.2 million and $18.3 million, respectively, of residential loans under its flow origination program and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Residential loan originations were $32 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

------

During the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company sold approximately $6.3 million and $23.4 million, respectively, in government guaranteed SBA loans and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $0.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively. SBA loan originations and gains on sale continue to be lower due to a less favorable economic outlook for many business owners along with the Bank's ongoing prudent decision to tighten credit. Together, these factors contributed to lower SBA loan volume, approval levels, and related gain-on-sale income.

**Commercial Real Estate Statistics**

A significant portion of the Bank's commercial real estate portfolio consists of loans secured by Multifamily and CRE-Investor owned real estate that are predominantly subject to fixed interest rates for an initial period of 5 years. The Bank's exposure to Land/Construction loans as of March 31, 2026 is not significant at $11.5 million, all at floating interest rates. As shown below, as of March 31, 2026, 21% of the loan balances in these combined portfolios will either have a rate reset or mature in 2026, with another 55% with rate resets or maturing in 2027.

**Stabilized Multifamily Pro Forma Stress Results**

The table below reflects a pro forma stressed evaluation of the Bank's Multifamily stabilized loan portfolio as of March 31, 2026, using the primary assumption for a revised Debt Service Coverage Ratio ("DSCR") calculation, for all loans where the current interest rate is below 5.75%. The current balance for these loans is recast at 5.75% with a 30-year amortization. The chart below reflects the impact of these adjustments on the portfolio. The projected loan to value ("LTV") assumption resets all loans using a 6% cap rate (despite lower current cap rates) and the last reported property net operating income ("NOI") to determine an implied property valuation and based on the current loan balance, the resultant LTV.

| **Total** | **97** | $**191301** | **35%** | **61%** | **65%** |

---

As reflected above, only 6 loans totaling $11 million in the multifamily rent stabilized portfolio would have a pro forma DSCR less than 1x while maintaining projected weighted average LTV's under 100%. This represents 2% of the total multifamily portfolio. The remainder of this portfolio, totaling $180 million, representing 33% of the entire multifamily portfolio, would possess DSCR's greater than 1x while maintaining a projected weighted average LTV well within our policy guidelines. Additionally, 73% of the stabilized loans and 73% of the entire multifamily portfolio are further secured with personal guarantees from the borrowers. Based on the maturities and rate resets in the previous 12 months, we believe the overall demand for multifamily housing in our market will allow our borrowers to address any adverse impact proactively. The Bank continues to successfully manage multifamily loans with scheduled rate repricing or maturities. Matured loans that qualified for renewal have been retained while others have paid off in full through refinances. The majority of the rate resetting loans remain as performing loans at the new higher interest rate.

**Rental breakdown of Multifamily portfolio**

The table below segments our portfolio of loans secured by Multifamily properties based on rental terms and location as of March 31, 2026. As shown below, 65% of the combined portfolio is secured by properties subject to free market rental terms, which is the dominant tenant type. Both the Market Rent and Stabilized Rent segments of our portfolio present very similar average borrower profiles. The portfolio is primarily located in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens.

**Non-GAAP Disclosure**

This discussion, including the financial statements attached thereto, includes non-GAAP financial measures which include the Company's adjusted net income, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average equity, pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"), PPNR return on average assets, tangible common equity ("TCE") ratio, TCE, tangible assets, tangible book value per share, return on average tangible equity and efficiency ratio. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company's management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides both management and investors with a greater understanding of the Company's operating results and trends in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP and provides greater comparability across time periods. While management uses non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company's performance, this information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the numbers prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other financial institutions.

With respect to the calculations of and reconciliations of adjusted net income, PPNR, TCE, tangible assets, TCE ratio and tangible book value per share, reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are provided in the tables that follow.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company's management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a greater understanding of the Company's operating results in addition to the results measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP. While management uses non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance, this information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Includes common stock and Series A preferred stock.
