#### NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a description of the Company's business and significant accounting and reporting policies:

**Nature of Business:**

Northeast Community Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated in May 2021 to be the successor to NorthEast Community Bancorp, Inc., a federally chartered corporation (the "Mid-Tier Holding Company"), upon completion of the second-step conversion of NorthEast Community Bank (the "Bank") from the two-tier mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure. NorthEast Community Bancorp, MHC was the former mutual holding company for the Mid-Tier Holding Company prior to the completion of the second-step conversion. In conjunction with the second-step conversion, each of NorthEast Community Bancorp, MHC and the Mid-Tier Holding Company merged out of existence and now cease to exist.

The Bank is a New York State-chartered savings bank and the Company's primary activity is the ownership and operation of the Bank.

The Bank is headquartered in White Plains, New York. The Bank was founded in 1934 and is a community oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial services needs of individuals and businesses within its market area. The Bank currently conducts business through its eleven branch offices located in the Bronx, New York, Orange, Rockland, and Sullivan Counties in New York and Essex, Middlesex and Norfolk Counties in Massachusetts and three loan production offices located in White Plains, New York, New City, New York, and Danvers, Massachusetts.

The Bank's principal business consists of originating primarily construction loans and, to a lesser extent, commercial and industrial loans and multifamily and mixed-use residential real estate loans and non-residential real estate loans. The Bank offers a variety of retail deposit products to the general public in the areas surrounding its main office and its branch offices, with interest rates that are competitive with those of similar products offered by other financial institutions operating in its market area. The Bank also utilizes borrowings, brokered deposits, military deposits, and listing deposit services as sources of funds. The Bank's revenues are derived primarily from interest on loans and, to a lesser extent, interest on investment securities and mortgage-backed securities. The Bank also generates revenues from other income including deposit fees and service charges.

New England Commercial Properties LLC ("NECP"), a New York limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, was formed in October 2007 to facilitate the purchase or lease of real property by the Bank. New England Commercial Properties, LLC currently owns one foreclosed property located in Pennsylvania.

NECB Financial Services Group, LLC ("NECB Financial"), a New York limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, was formed in the third quarter of 2012 as a complement to Harbor West Wealth Management Group to sell life insurance and fixed rate annuities. NECB Financial is licensed in New York State. NECB Financial terminated its license in Connecticut on February 22, 2024 due to the sale of all the Bank's assets relating to Harbor West Wealth Management Group to a third party in January 2024. This subsidiary is currently inactive.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

72 West Eckerson LLC ("72 West Eckerson"), a New York limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, was formed in April 2015 to facilitate the purchase or lease of real property by the Bank and currently owns the Bank branch locations in Spring Valley, New York and Monroe, New York.

166 Route 59 Realty LLC ("166 Route 59 Realty"), a New York limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, was formed in April 2021 to facilitate the purchase or lease of real property by the Bank and currently owns the property for the Bank branch located in Airmont, New York.

3 Winterton Realty LLC, a New York limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, was formed in October 2021 to facilitate the purchase or lease of real property by the Bank and currently owns the property for the Bank branch located in Bloomingburg, New York.

NECB Real Estate LLC ("NECB Real Estate"), a New York limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, was formed in October 2024 to facilitate the purchase or lease of real property by the Bank. NECB Real Estate owned one foreclosed property located in the Bronx, New York prior to the property's disposition in June 2025.

**Principal of Consolidations:**

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, NECP, NECB Financial, 72 West Eckerson, 166 Route 59 Realty, 3 Winterton Realty LLC, and NECB Real Estate (collectively the "Company") and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for periods of less than a year are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.

**Use of Estimates:**

The preparation of 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 financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term are used in connection with the determination of the allowance for credit losses.

**Loan Concentration Risk:**

The Company's lending activity is concentrated in construction loans secured by the construction primarily of multi-family, residential condominium properties, and occasionally non-residential properties located in New York State and occasionally by the renovation of multi-family properties in Massachusetts. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a majority of construction loans located in New York State, including $612.3 million and $708.5 million in the Bronx, $240.9 million and $246.4 million in the Town of Monroe, and $141.0 million and $141.6 million in the Village of Spring Valley. At June 30, 2025, the Company had $116.9 million, or 8.8%, of construction loans located in Rockland County, New York, related to office space or commercial use.

#### Note 2 — Regulatory Capital
The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the federal banking agencies. The Federal Reserve establishes capital requirements, including well capitalized standards, for the consolidated bank holding company, and the FDIC has similar requirements for the Company's subsidiary bank. However, the Federal Reserve has provided a "small bank holding company" exception to its consolidated capital requirements for holding companies, and legislation and the related issuance of regulations by the Federal Reserve Board have established the current threshold for the exception at $3.0 billion in total consolidated assets. As a result, the Company will not be subject to the consolidated holding company capital requirement until such time as its consolidated assets exceed $3.0 billion. The Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The following table presents information about the Bank's capital levels at the dates presented:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Ratios do not include the capital conservation buffer.

Based on the most recent notification by the FDIC, the Bank was categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There have been no conditions or events that have occurred since notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

#### Note 3 — Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period less any unvested restricted shares. Unallocated common shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic net income per common share until they are committed to be released. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the weighted average shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share.

#### Note 4 — Equity Securities
The following table is the schedule of equity securities at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Our equity securities portfolio consists of our investment in a market-rate bond mutual fund that invests in high quality fixed income bonds, mainly government agency securities whose proceeds are designed to positively impact community development throughout the United States. The mutual fund focuses exclusively on providing affordable housing for low- and moderate-income borrowers and renters within our delineated lending areas, including those in majority minority census tracts. The high-quality fixed income bonds consist of 90% agency mortgage-backed securities and 10% state and municipal bonds. All agency mortgage-backed securities are issued by U.S. government entities and agencies. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses.

At June 30, 2025, twelve mortgage-backed securities had unrealized losses due to interest rate volatility. Management concluded that the unrealized loss reflected above was temporary in nature since the unrealized loss was related primarily to market interest rate volatility, and was not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers of the securities. Additionally, the Company has the ability and intent to hold the securities for the time necessary to recover the amortized cost. At December 31, 2024, there were sixteen mortgage-backed securities that had unrealized losses due to interest rate volatility.

**Credit Quality Indicators**

The held to maturity securities portfolio consists of agency mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds. All agency mortgage-backed securities are issued by U.S. government entities and agencies. These securities are either

explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The seven municipal bonds in the portfolio carry no lower than A ratings from the rating agencies at June 30, 2025 and have no realized losses since they were issued. The Company regularly monitors the municipal bonds sector of the market and reviews collectability including such factors as the financial condition of the issuers as well as credit ratings in effect as of the reporting period.

Loans serviced for the benefit of others totaled approximately $53.1 million and $52.5 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The value of mortgage servicing rights was not material at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The allowance for credit losses on loans represents management's estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the statement of financial condition date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The allowance for credit losses is increased by the provision for credit losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely.

The allowance for credit losses on loans is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on the relevant available information from internal and external sources related to past events and current conditions, as well as the incorporation of reasonable and supportable forecasts. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the reversal of provision recorded for residential real estate loans and non-residential real estate loans was primarily attributed to improving economic and housing conditions in the Bank's local markets. The provision expense recorded for commercial and industrial loans was attributed to slightly increased credit risk. The provision expense recorded for constructions loans was primarily attributed to increased loan balances, offset by improving economic and housing conditions in the Bank's local markets. The provision expense recorded for consumer loans was primarily attributed to a net charge off $403,000 in checking account overdrafts during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

**Credit Quality Indicators**

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, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually to classify the loans as to credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

**Pass** – Loans that are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral in a timely manner.

**Special Mention** – Loans which do not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant an adverse classification but have some credit deficiencies or other potential weaknesses.

**Substandard** – Loans which are inadequately protected by the paying capacity and net worth of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

**Doubtful** – Loans which have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values.

#### Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty:
Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing a term extension; an other-than-insignificant payment delay; or an interest rate reduction.

In some cases, the Company provides multiple types of concessions on a loan. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as an interest rate reduction, may be granted.

There were no loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024.

#### Note 7 — Real Estate Owned ("REO")
The Company owned two foreclosed properties valued at approximately $5,120,000 at December 31, 2024, consisting of an office building located in Pennsylvania which was acquired through foreclosure in December 2014, and land and land improvement located in Bronx which was acquired through foreclosure in October 2024. In June 2025, the Company sold the foreclosed property located in Bronx to a third-party buyer at no loss and, in connection therewith, the Company provided the financing to the buyer to complete the multi-family construction project. A REO expense of $231,000 was recognized to cover the closing costs for this transaction on the Consolidated Statement of Income. At June 30, 2025, the Company owned one foreclosed property valued at approximately $767,000.

Further declines in real estate values may result in impairment charges in the future. Routine holding costs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements to real estate owned that enhance the value of the real estate are capitalized. REO expense recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income, including loss on sales and write-downs, amounted to $247,000 and $27,000 for the three months, and $277,000 and $39,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

#### Note 8 — Borrowings
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our borrowings include Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB") advances and short-term borrowings from the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("FRBNY").

On August 30, 2023, the FRBNY approved the Company's eligibility to pledge loans under the Borrower-in-Custody program of the FRBNY thereby allowing the Company to borrow from the Discount Window at the FRBNY. At June 30, 2025, borrowings from the FRBNY totaled $120.0 million, bearing an interest rate of 4.5%. Of the $120.0 million in borrowings, $60.0 million matures in July 2025 and $60.0 million matures in August 2025. At June 30, 2025, the Company had one FHLB advance for $15.0 million that bears an interest rate of 4.45% and matures in September 2025. The advance is secured by a pledge of the Company's investment in the capital stock of the FHLB and a blanket assignment of the Company's otherwise unpledged qualifying mortgage loans that are not pledged to any third party other than the FHLB.

At December 31, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings from the FHLB and FRBNY.

At June 30, 2025, the Company had the ability to borrow $740.2 million from the FRBNY, $23.1 million from the FHLB, and $8.0 million from Atlantic Community Bankers Bank ("ACBB").

#### Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP")
The SERP is a non-contributory defined benefit plan that covers certain officers of the Company. Under the SERP, each of these individuals will be entitled to receive upon retirement an annual benefit paid in monthly installments equal to 50% of his average base salary in the three-year period preceding retirement. Each individual may also retire early and receive a reduced benefit upon the attainment of certain age and years of service combination. Additional terms related to death while employed, death after retirement, disability before retirement and termination of employment are fully described within the plan document. The benefit payment term is the greater of 15 years or the executive's remaining life.

Expenses of $147,000 and $131,000 for the three months, and $286,000 and $261,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were recorded for this plan and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income under Salaries and Employee Benefits.

#### Stock-Based Deferral Plan
In June 2021, the Company established a stock-based deferral plan for eligible key executives and members of the Board of Directors of the Company to elect to defer compensation received from the Company for their services and make deemed investments of that deferred compensation in shares of the Company's common stock. At June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any obligations under the plan.

#### 401(k) Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for all eligible employees. Participants are permitted to contribute from 1% to 15% or 60% of their annual compensation up to the maximum permitted under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company provided no matching contributions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

#### Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
In conjunction with the Mid-Tier Holding Company's public stock offering in 2006, the Bank established an ESOP for all eligible employees (substantially all full-time employees). The ESOP borrowed $5,184,200 from the Mid-Tier Holding Company and used those funds to acquire 518,420 shares of Mid-Tier Holding Company common stock at $10.00 per share. The loan from the Mid-Tier Holding Company, which has been assumed by the Company, carries an interest rate of 8.25% and is repayable in twenty annual installments. This loan will be paid off by the end of 2025.

In conjunction with the Company's second-step conversion offering, on July 12, 2021, the ESOP borrowed $7,827,260 from the Company and used those funds to acquire 782,726 shares of Company common stock at $10.00 per share. The loan from the Company carries an interest rate equal to 3.25% and is repayable in fifteen annual installments through 2035.

Each year, the Bank makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP equal to the principal and interest payment required on the loans from the Company. The ESOP may further pay down the principal balance of the loans by using dividends paid, if any, on the shares of Company common stock it owns. The balance remaining on the first ESOP loan was $478,000 and $919,000 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The balance remaining on the second ESOP loan was $5,991,000 and $6,417,000 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Shares purchased for the ESOP with the loan proceeds serve as collateral for the loan and are held in a suspense account for future allocation among ESOP participants. As the loan principal is repaid, shares will be released from the suspense account and become eligible for allocation. The allocation among plan participants will be as described in the ESOP governing document.

ESOP shares initially pledged as collateral were recorded as unearned ESOP shares in the stockholders' equity section of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. Thereafter, on a monthly basis over the terms of the ESOP loans, approximately 2,894 shares for the ESOP loan made in 2006 and approximately 4,348 shares for the ESOP loan made in 2021 are committed to be released, respectively. Compensation expense is recorded in an amount equal to the shares committed to be released multiplied by the average closing price of the Company's stock during that month. ESOP expense totaled approximately $491,000 and $359,000 for the three months, and $1,011,000 and $711,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Dividends on unallocated shares, which totaled approximately $122,000 and $70,000 for the three months, and $243,000 and $139,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are recorded as a reduction of the ESOP loan. Dividends on allocated shares, which totaled approximately $174,000 and $78,000 for the three months, and $347,000 and $156,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are charged to retained earnings.

#### Note 10 — Fair Value Disclosures
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The Company's marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company has to record at fair value other assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as securities held to maturity, individually evaluated loans and other real estate owned. U.S. GAAP has established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The 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:* Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 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).

The level of the asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth the Company's assets that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis and the level that was used to determine their fair value at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The Company did not have any liabilities that were carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

For real estate owned, fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals or fair value estimations of the underlying properties which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable. The appraisals or fair value estimation may be adjusted by management for qualitative reasons and estimated liquidation expenses. Management's assumptions may include consideration of location and occupancy of the property and current economic conditions. Subsequently, as these properties are actively marketed, the estimated fair values may be periodically adjusted through incremental subsequent write-downs to reflect decreases in estimated values resulting from sales price observations and the impact of changing economic and market conditions.

A loan is considered individually evaluated for credit loss when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all scheduled payments in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Individually evaluated loans that are collateral dependent are written down to fair value through the establishment of specific reserves, a component of the allowance for credit losses or through partial charge-offs, and as such are carried at the lower of cost or the fair value. Estimates of fair value of the collateral are determined based on a

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

variety of information, including available valuations from certified appraisers for similar assets, present value of discounted cash flows and inputs that are estimated based on commonly used and generally accepted industry liquidation advance rates and estimates and assumptions developed by management. The appraisals may be adjusted by management for estimated liquidation expenses and qualitative factors such as economic conditions. If real estate is not the primary source of repayment, present value of discounted cash flows and estimates using generally accepted industry liquidation advance rates are utilized. Due to the multitude of assumptions, many of which are subjective in nature, and the varying inputs and techniques used by appraisers, the Company recognizes that valuations could differ across a wide spectrum of valuation techniques employed and accordingly, fair value estimates for impaired loans are classified as Level 3.

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 a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these 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 than the amounts reported at each year-end.

Fair values for marketable equity securities are determined by quoted market prices on nationally recognized and foreign securities exchanges (Level 1). Fair values for equity securities and securities held to maturity are determined utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The 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 data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the security's terms and conditions, among other things

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company's assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company's disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

#### Note 11 — Revenue Recognition
The majority of the Company's revenues come from interest income and other sources, including loans and securities that are outside the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company's services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within noninterest income and are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include deposit service charges on deposits, electronic banking fees and charges income, and investment advisory fees.

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity's obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company's noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as referral fees based on month end reports. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

All of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized within noninterest income. The following table presents the Company's sources of noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Sources of revenue outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such:

A description of the Company's revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 is as follows:

#### Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
The Company earns fees from deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed at the point in the time the Company fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are generally earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.

#### Electronic Banking Fee Income
The Company earns interchange fees from debit and credit card holder transactions conducted through various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided by an outsourced technology solution.

#### Note 13 — Stock Compensation Plans
At a special shareholders meeting held on September 29, 2022, the Company's shareholders approved the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan whereby 1,369,771 shares of the Company's common stock were reserved from authorized but unissued shares for purposes of grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units to selected employees and non-employee directors of the Company.

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company's common stock determine the fair value of restricted stock under the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted stock on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 102,759 shares available for future awards under this plan, which includes 98,311 shares available for stock options and 4,448 shares available for restricted stock awards.**

#### Note 14 — Business Segments
While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed, and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments are similar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Substantially most of the Company's operations occur through the Bank and involve the delivery of loan and deposit products to customers.

The Company's chief operating decision maker is the Executive Committee that includes the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Executive Committee assesses performance of the

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Company on a consolidated basis and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that is also reported as net income on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The Executive Committee uses net income, which is the measure of segment profit and loss, to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) and other measures, such as net interest margin, return on average assets, and return on common equity, in deciding how to reinvest profits, such as originating loans, investing in investment securities, or repurchasing shares of the Company's common stock. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The Executive Committee also uses net income and other measures in comparing the Company to its peer banks. The comparison of the Company's net income and other measures to its peer banks, along with the comparison of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing the Company's performance and in establishing management compensation. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operations. Interest expense and payroll provide the significant expenses in the banking operations. All operations are domestic.

The following table presents the Company's reported segment revenues, profit or loss and significant segment expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

#### Note 15 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, *Disclosure Improvement: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative*, which incorporates several SEC disclosure requirements into US GAAP and adds interim and annual disclosure requirements to a variety of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification, including those focusing on accounting changes, earnings per share, debt and repurchase agreements. For entities subject to the SEC disclosure requirements and those "required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer," the US GAAP requirements will be effective when the removal of the related SEC rule is effective. Early adoption is not permitted for these entities. For all other entities, the effective date will be two years later, and early adoption is permitted. That is, financial statements issued after the effective date of each amendment are required to include on a prospective basis the related disclosure incorporated into US GAAP by this ASU. However, if the SEC does not act to remove its related requirements by June 30, 2027, any related FASB amendments will be removed from the Codification and will not be effective for any entities.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, which provides for improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, for all other entities. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures*. This ASU requires disclosure in the notes to financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. Specific disclosures are required for (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities. The amendments in this Update do not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements. However, the amendments affect where this information appears in the notes to financial statements because entities are required to include certain current disclosures in the same tabular format disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements in the amendments. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 apply only to public business entities and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt – *Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments*. This new guidance clarifies the assessment of whether a transaction should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt when changes are made to conversion features as part of an offer to settle the instrument. The ASU requires entities to apply a preexisting contract approach. To qualify for induced conversion accounting under this approach, the inducement offer is required to preserve the form of consideration and result in an amount of consideration that is no less than that issuable pursuant to the preexisting conversion privileges. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and it can be adopted either on a prospective or retrospective basis. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, *Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)*, which revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03 (on disclosures about disaggregation of income statement expenses) "to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027." Entities within the ASU's scope are permitted to early adopt the ASU. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-02, Liabilities (405): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122. This ASU was issued pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122, which rescinds the interpretive guidance included in Section FF of Topic 5 in the Staff Accounting Bulletin series entitled Accounting for Obligations to Safeguard Crypto-Assets an Entity Holds for its Platform Users. This ASU has no

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

impact on non-public business entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which revises the guidance in ASC 805 on identifying the accounting acquirer in a business combination in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity (VIE). The reporting entity can determine that a transaction in which the legal acquiree is a VIE represents a reverse acquisition in which the legal acquirer is identified as the acquiree for accounting purposes. ASU 2025-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2025-03 must be applied prospectively to any business combination that occurs after the initial adoption date. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts With Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer, which clarifies the accounting for share-based consideration payable to a customer under ASC 718 and ASC 606. The amendments refine key aspects of the guidance, including the definition of "performance condition" as well as the measurement requirements and the treatment of forfeitures. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not yet been issued. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

#### Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
**Forward-Looking Statements**

Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which involve significant risks and uncertainties. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of invoking these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by the use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "plan," or similar expressions. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain and actual results may differ from those predicted. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the future.

The Company cautions readers of this report that a number of important factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those predicted and could affect the future prospects of the Company include, but are not limited to: (i) general economic conditions, including higher inflation or recessionary conditions, either nationally or in our market area, that are worse than expected; (ii) changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our interest margins, reduce the fair value of financial instruments or reduce the demand for our loan products; (iii) increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; (iv) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; (v) changes in the quality and composition of our loan or investment portfolios and the adequacy of credit loss reserves; (vi) changes in real estate market values in our market area; (vii) decreased demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, or decreased demand for financial services in our market area; (viii) major catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods or other natural or human disasters and pandemics or infectious disease outbreaks, the related disruption to local, regional and global economic activity and financial markets, and the impact that any of the foregoing may have on us and our customers and other constituencies; (ix) legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business or changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; (x) the impacts of tariffs, sanctions and other trade policies of the United States and its global trading counterparts; (xi) technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected; (xii) success or consummation of new business initiatives may be more difficult or expensive than expected; (xiii) the inability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and financial institutions into our business operations; (xiv) adverse changes

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

in the securities markets; (xv) the impact of failures or disruptions in or breaches of the Company's operational or security systems, data or infrastructure, or those of third parties, including as a result of cyberattacks or campaigns; (xvi) the inability of third party service providers to perform; and (xvii) changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by bank regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

#### Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies involving significant judgements and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider these accounting policies to be our crucial accounting policies. The judgements and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these judgements and estimates under different conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

#### Balance Sheet Analysis

#### General
Total assets decreased $35.7 million, or 1.8%, to $2.0 billion at June 30, 2025, from $2.0 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease in assets was primarily due to decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $18.9 million, net loans of $14.9 million, and real estate owned of $4.4 million, partially offset by an increase of $3.4 million in equity securities.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $18.9 million, or 24.1%, to $59.4 million at June 30, 2025 from $78.3 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was a result of a decrease in deposits of $191.2 million, partially offset by increases of $135.0 million in borrowings, decreases of $14.9 million in net loans, and increases of $3.4 million in equity securities.

Equity securities increased $3.4 million, or 15.2%, to $25.3 million at June 30, 2025 from $22.0 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in equity securities was attributable to the purchase of $3.0 million in equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and market appreciation of $351,000 due to market interest rate volatility during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Securities held-to-maturity decreased $218,000, or 1.5%, to $14.4 million at June 30, 2025 from $14.6 million at December 31, 2024 due to $485,000 in maturities and pay-downs of various investment securities.

Loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, decreased $14.9 million, or 0.8%, to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2025 from $1.8 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease in loans consisted of decreases of $102.7 million in construction loans, $1.6 million in consumer loans, $482,000 in mixed-use loans, $475,000 in non-residential loans, and $74,000 in one-to-four family loans. The decrease in our construction loan portfolio was due to normal pay-downs and principal reductions as construction projects were completed and either condominium units were sold to end buyers or multi-family rental buildings were refinanced by other financial institutions. The decrease in construction loans was offset by increases of $85.9 million in multi-family loans of which $43.2 million is attributed to residential cooperative building loans, and $4.3 million in commercial and industrial loans.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we originated loans totaling $462.7 million consisting primarily of $338.8 million in construction loans, $95.4 million in multi-family loans of which $32.9 million is attributed to residential cooperative building loans, $27.8 million in commercial and industrial loans, and $730,000 in mixed-use loans. The $338.8 million in construction loans had 41.6% disbursed at loan closing, with the remaining funds to be disbursed over the terms of the construction loans.

The allowance for credit losses related to loans decreased to $4.7 million as of June 30, 2025, from $4.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses related to loans was due to charge-offs totaling $602,000, offset by recoveries totaling $434,000 and provision for credit losses totaling $62,000.

Premises and equipment increased $536,000, or 2.2%, to $25.3 million at June 30, 2025 from $24.8 million at December 31, 2024 primarily due to the purchases of additional fixed assets.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased $688,000, or 173.3%, to $1.1 million at June 30, 2025 from $397,000 at December 31, 2024 primarily due to an increase in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") increased $336,000, or 1.3%, to $26.1 million at June 30, 2025 from $25.7 million at December 31, 2024 due to increases in the BOLI cash value.

Accrued interest receivable decreased $1.4 million, or 10.1%, to $12.1 million at June 30, 2025 from $13.5 million at December 31, 2024 due to a decrease of $14.9 million in the loan portfolio.

Real estate owned decreased $4.4 million, or 85.0%, to $767,000 at June 30, 2025 from $5.1 million at December 31, 2024 due to the sale of a foreclosed property to an independent third party.

Property held for investment was $1.4 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Right of use assets — operating increased $382,000, or 9.6%, to $4.4 million at June 30, 2025 from $4.0 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to the physical expansion of a branch office and the resulting revision to the operating lease, partially offset by the amortization of the right of use assets.

Other assets decreased $1.2 million, or 10.5%, to $10.4 million at June 30, 2025 from $11.6 million at December 31, 2024 due to decreases of $1.2 million in tax assets and $118,000 in prepaid expenses, partially offset by an increase of $116,000 in suspense accounts.

Total deposits decreased $191.2 million, or 11.5%, to $1.5 billion at June 30, 2025 from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to a decrease in certificates of deposit of $251.5 million, or 25.1%, partially offset by increases in NOW/money market accounts of $56.4 million, or 23.2%, savings account balances of $3.3 million, or 2.4%, and non-interest bearing deposits of $2.2 million, or 0.8%. The decrease of $251.5 million in certificates of deposit consisted of a decrease in retail certificates of deposit of $134.2 million, or 26.2%, and a decrease in brokered certificates of deposit of $129.1 million, or 29.7%, partially offset by an increase in non-brokered listing services certificates of deposit of $11.7 million, or 35.0%.

The decrease in retail certificates of deposit was due to a shift in deposits to our retail high yield money market accounts. The decrease in brokered certificates of deposit was due to management's strategy to reduce the cost of funds by "calling" higher rate brokered deposits on their call dates.

Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance increased $804,000, or 49.7%, to $2.4 million at June 30, 2025 from $1.6 million at December 31, 2024 due primarily to accumulation of real estate tax payments from borrowers.

Borrowings increased to $135.0 million at June 30, 2025 from none at December 31, 2024 due primarily to management's strategy to diversify funding sources.

Lease liability – operating increased $389,000, or 9.5%, to $4.5 million at June 30, 2025 from $4.1 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to the physical expansion of a branch office and the resulting revision to the operating lease, partially offset by the amortization of the lease liability.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $970,000, or 6.7%, to $15.5 million at June 30, 2025 from $14.5 million at December 31, 2024 due primarily to increases in accrued borrowing interest expense of $905,000, accounts payable of $666,000, deferred compensation of $312,000, and suspense accounts for loan closings of $269,000, and the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet commitments of $175,000, partially offset by a decrease in accrued expense of $1.4 million.

The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet commitments increased $175,000, or 24.8%, to $879,000 at June 30, 2025 from $704,000 at December 31, 2024 due primarily to an increase of $74.5 million, or 13.3%, in off-balance sheet commitments since December 31, 2024.

Stockholders' equity increased $18.3 million, or 5.8% to $336.7 million at June 30, 2025, from $318.3 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in stockholders' equity was due to net income of $21.7 million for the six months

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $638,000 in earned employee stock ownership plan shares coupled with a reduction of $435,000 in unearned employee stock ownership plan shares, and the amortization expense of $894,000 relating to restricted stock and stock options granted under the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, partially offset by dividends declared of $5.4 million and $4,000 in other comprehensive loss.

#### Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

#### Financial Highlights
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $11.2 million compared to net income of $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net income of $1.6 million, or 12.7%, between periods was primarily due to a decrease of $1.1 million in net interest income, an increase of $1.0 million in non-interest expense, and no credit loss expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a credit loss expense reduction of $226,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, partially offset by an increase of $127,000 in non-interest income and a decrease of $629,000 in income tax expense.

***Net Interest Income***

Net interest income was $25.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $26.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net interest income of $1.1 million, or 4.4%, was primarily due to a decrease in interest income that exceeded a decrease in interest expense and a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets, partially offset by a smaller decrease in the cost of funds for interest bearing liabilities.

Total interest and dividend income decreased $2.2 million, or 5.5%, to $38.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $40.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in interest and dividend income was due to a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets by 78 basis points from 8.89% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 8.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $64.9 million, or 3.6%, to $1.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.8 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 7.5%, to $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities by 45 basis points from 4.33% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $41.9 million, or 3.2%, to $1.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Our net interest margin decreased 44 basis points, or 7.6%, to 5.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 5.79% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in the net interest margin was due to a 100 basis points decrease in the Federal Funds rate from September 2024 to December 2024 that resulted in a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a smaller decrease in the cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities.

***Credit Loss Expense***

The Company recorded no credit loss expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a credit loss expense reduction of $226,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The credit loss expense reduction of $226,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was comprised of a credit loss expense reduction for off-balance sheet commitments of $218,000 and a credit loss expense reduction for held-to-maturity investment securities of $8,000. The credit loss expense reduction for off-balance sheet commitments of $218,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to a reduction of $30.4 million in the level of off-balance sheet commitments and favorable trends in the economy.

With respect to the allowance for credit losses for loans, we charged-off $485,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to charge-offs of $12,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The charge-offs during both periods were against various unpaid overdrafts in our demand deposit accounts.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

We recorded recoveries of $82,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to no recoveries during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The recoveries of $82,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 comprised of recoveries from a previously charged-off unpaid overdraft on a demand deposit account.

***Non-Interest Income***

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $858,000 compared to non-interest income of $731,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $127,000, or 17.4%, in total non-interest income was primarily due to increases of $71,000 in unrealized gain on equity securities, $48,000 in other loan fees and service charges, and $8,000 in BOLI income.

The increase in unrealized gain on equity securities was due to an unrealized gain of $51,000 on equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to an unrealized loss of $20,000 on equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Both the unrealized gain of $51,000 on equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the unrealized loss of $20,000 on equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2024 were due to market interest rate volatility during both periods.

The increase of $48,000 in other loan fees and service charges was due to an increase of $60,000 in ATM/debit card/ACH fees and an increase of $2,000 in deposit account fees, partially offset by a decrease of $14,000 in other loan fees and loan servicing fees. The increase in BOLI income of $8,000 was due to an increase in the yield on BOLI assets.

***Non-Interest Expense***

Non-interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 10.6%, to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase resulted primarily from increases of $398,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $220,000 in real estate owned expense, $151,000 in outside data processing expense, $111,000 in other operating expense, $69,000 in occupancy expense, $32,000 in equipment expense, and $29,000 in advertising expense.

#### Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

#### Financial Highlights
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $21.7 million compared to net income of $24.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net income of $2.4 million, or 10.1%, between periods was primarily due to a decrease of $1.9 million in net interest income, an increase of $1.9 million in non-interest expense, and an increase of $628,000 in credit loss expense, partially offset by an increase of $808,000 in non-interest income and a decrease of $1.2 million in income tax expense.

#### Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $49.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $51.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net interest income of $1.9 million, or 3.7%, was primarily due to a decrease in interest income that exceeded a decrease in interest expense and a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets, partially offset by a smaller decrease in the cost of funds for interest bearing liabilities.

Total interest and dividend income decreased $2.1 million, or 2.7%, to $76.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $78.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in interest and dividend income was due to a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets by 75 basis points from 8.83% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 8.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest

earning assets of $112.3 million, or 6.3%, to $1.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities by 34 basis points from 4.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $95.7 million, or 7.6%, to $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net interest margin decreased 54 basis points, or 9.4%, to 5.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 5.77% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in the net interest margin was due to a 100 basis points decrease in the Federal Funds rate from September 2024 to December 2024 that resulted in a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a smaller decrease in the cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities.

***Credit Loss Expense***

The Company recorded a credit loss expense of $237,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a credit loss expense reduction of $391,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The credit loss expense of $237,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was comprised of credit loss expense for loans of $62,000 and credit loss expense for off-balance sheet commitments of $175,000.

The credit loss expense for loans of $62,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in the multi-family loan portfolio. The credit loss expense for off-balance sheet commitments of $175,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in unfunded off-balance sheet commitments.

The credit loss expense reduction of $391,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was comprised of a credit loss expense reduction for off-balance sheet commitments of $235,000, a credit loss expense reduction for loans of $145,000, and a credit loss expense reduction for held-to-maturity investment securities of $11,000. The credit loss expense reduction for off-balance sheet commitments of $235,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributed to a reduction of $27.2 million in the level of off-balance sheet commitments and favorable trends in the economy. The credit loss expense reduction for loans of $145,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributed to favorable trends in the economy.

With respect to the allowance for credit losses for loans, we charged-off $602,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to charge-offs of $33,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

***Non-Interest Income***

Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.1 million compared to non-interest income of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $808,000, or 62.9%, in total non-interest income was primarily due to increases of $453,000 in unrealized gain on equity securities, $326,000 in other loan fees and service charges, $17,000 in BOLI income, and $12,000 in miscellaneous other non-interest income.

The increase in unrealized gain on equity securities was due to an unrealized gain of $351,000 on equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to an unrealized loss of $102,000 on equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Both the unrealized gain of $351,000 on equity securities during the 2025 period and the unrealized loss of $102,000 on equity securities during the 2024 period were due to market interest rate volatility during both periods.

Non-performing assets totaled $767,000 at June 30, 2025 and $5.1 million at December 31, 2024. The non-performing assets at June 30, 2025 consisted of one foreclosed property located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania compared to two foreclosed properties at December 31, 2024. We sold one foreclosed property totaling $4.3 million located in the Bronx, New York on June 30, 2025 to a third-party buyer at no loss to the Company and in connection therewith we provided the financing to complete the multi-family project.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we did not collect any interest income from loans that were in non-accrual status.

From time to time, as part of our loss mitigation strategy, we may modify loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses. There were no new loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

The Company's allowance for credit losses related to loans totaled $4.7 million, or 0.26% of total loans as of June 30, 2025 compared to $4.8 million, or 0.27% of total loans as of December 31, 2024. In addition, the Company's allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet commitments totaled $879,000 as of June 30, 2025 compared to $704,000 at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses related to held-to-maturity debt securities totaled $126,000 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses related to loans decreased $106,000 to $4.7 million at June 30, 2025 from $4.8 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses was due primarily to charge-offs totaling $603,000, partially offset by recoveries of $434,000 and a credit loss expense of $62,000.

The allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet commitments increased $175,000 to $879,000 at June 30, 2025 from $704,000 due to a credit loss expense of $175,000 at June 30, 2025.

#### Liquidity and Capital Resources
We maintain liquid assets at levels we believe are adequate to meet our liquidity needs. We established a liquidity ratio policy that identifies three liquidity ratios consisting of (1) Cash/Deposits & Short Term Borrowings ("Cash Liquidity"), (2) Cash & Investments/Deposits & Short Term Borrowings ("On Balance Sheet Liquidity"), and (3) Cash & Investments & Borrowing Capacity/Deposits & Short Term Borrowings ("On Balance Sheet Liquidity & Borrowing Capacity") to assist in the management of our liquidity. We also establish targets of 2.0% for the Cash Liquidity ratio, 8.0% for the On Balance Sheet Liquidity ratio, and 20.0% for the On Balance Sheet Liquidity & Borrowing Capacity ratio.

Our Cash Liquidity ratio, On Balance Sheet Liquidity ratio, and On Balance Sheet Liquidity & Borrowing Capacity ratio averaged 5.7%, 8.0%, and 64.8%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 6.7%, 8.8%, and 65.6%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, pay real estate taxes on real estate loans, repay our borrowings, and fund loan commitments. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Our liquidity ratios cannot be calculated using amounts disclosed in our consolidated financial statements, as many of the calculations involve monthly, quarterly or annual averages. To calculate our liquidity ratios, the average liquidity base from the prior month is used as the denominator to calculate a daily liquidity ratio. The liquidity base consists of savings account balances, certificates of deposit balances, checking and money market balances, deposit loans and borrowings. The daily balances of these components are averaged to arrive at the liquidity base for the month, and the daily cash balances in selected general ledger accounts are used to derive our liquidity position. A daily liquidity ratio is calculated using the liquidity for the day divided by the prior month's average liquidity base. At the end of each month, a monthly liquidity position is calculated using the average liquidity position for the month divided by the prior month's average liquidity base. To calculate quarterly and annual liquidity ratios, we take the average liquidity for the three- or twelve-month period, respectively, and average it.

Given the rapid movement of deposits in today's banking environment, the Company also manages its liquidity position through a time-series approach to liquidity availability. Traditional liquidity management focuses on on-balance sheet capacity; however, converting those assets into cash may involve delays or market-driven losses. To address this, the Company emphasizes the actual accessibility of liquidity as measured by when cash becomes available in the Company's Cash Accounts rather than simply its balance sheet presence.

This time-series liquidity framework is analyzed across the following intervals: Minute 1, Day 1, Week 1, Month 1, and Year 1. This structure ensures a proactive and disciplined approach to managing liquidity risk.

Minute 1: Represents the amount of cash the Company can immediately access and disperse within one minute while remaining solvent. It is defined as the cash and cash equivalents currently on the balance sheet and typically covers daily cash needs.

Day 1: In the event of a liquidity run, this is the amount of cash that the Company can access and disperse within one day. It includes Minute 1 liquidity plus total borrowing capacity from the Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank, and other secured and unsecured sources.

Week 1: In a prolonged liquidity event, this is the amount of cash available over one week. Week 1 liquidity includes Day 1 liquidity plus the estimated collateral value of unpledged investments that can be pledged or sold, as well as a portion (typically 10% each) of the Company's brokered and listing service deposit capacity expected to be accessible within the week.

Month 1: Represents the total cash the Company can access and disperse over a one-month period while remaining solvent. It includes Week 1 liquidity plus the remaining brokered and listing service deposit capacity not already included in Week 1.

Year 1: Reflects the amount of liquidity the Company can access and deploy over a one-year time period. It includes Month 1 liquidity plus the value of unpledged but pledgeable loans available on the balance sheet.

To assess the adequacy of its liquidity, the Company compares time-series liquidity against Total Non-Contractual Deposits defined as total deposits less (1) brokered deposits outstanding, (2) other contractual funding outstanding, and (3) collateralized municipal deposits outstanding.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's ratios of Cash and Borrowing Capacity/Total Non-Contractual Deposits and Cash, Borrowing Capacity and Sourced Deposits Capacity/Total Non-Contractual Deposits were 70.9% and 95.9%, respectively. These figures demonstrate that the Company has sufficient liquidity resources to meet sudden and unexpected deposit outflow.

Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities, other short-term investments, earnings, and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

competition. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included with our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our primary investing activities are the origination of construction loans, commercial and industrial loans, multifamily loans, and to a lesser extent, mixed-use real estate loans and other loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our loan originations totaled $462.7 million and $364.7 million, respectively. Cash received from the maturities and pay-downs on securities totaled $485,000 and $476,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We purchased $3.0 million in equity securities and $270,000 in municipal securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to no purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York to provide advances. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, we are required to own capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and are authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of our mortgage loans and other assets (principally securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States), provided certain standards related to credit-worthiness have been met. We had an available borrowing limit of $23.1 million and $18.2 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We had $15.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances at June 30, 2025 compared to none at December 31, 2024.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("FRBNY") approved on August 30, 2023 the Bank's eligibility to pledge loans under the Borrower-in-Custody program of the FRBNY thereby allowing the Bank to borrow from the Discount Window at the FRBNY. We had an available borrowing limit of $740.2 million and $834.7 million from the FRBNY as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We had $120.0 million in FRBNY borrowings at June 30, 2025 compared to none at December 31, 2024.

In addition, we are party to a loan agreement with ACBB under which we can borrow up to $8.0 million in short-term borrowings. There were no outstanding borrowings with ACBB at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

At June 30, 2025, we had unfunded commitments on construction and multi-family mortgage loans of $426.3 million, outstanding commitments to originate loans of $110.6 million, unfunded commitments under lines of credit of $85.6 million, and unfunded standby letters of credit of $14.0 million. At June 30, 2025, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $688.8 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the event a significant portion of our deposits are not retained by us, we will have to utilize other funding sources, such as various types of sourced deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, or Federal Reserve Bank borrowings, in order to maintain our level of assets. Alternatively, we could reduce our level of liquid assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the cost of such deposits may be significantly higher or lower depending on market interest rates at the time of renewal.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its stockholders and for the repurchase, if any, of its shares of common stock. At June 30, 2025, the Company had liquid assets of $12.2 million and $4.1 million in loan participations originated by the Bank which are held by the Company.

#### Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash-flows.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

#### Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements and related notes of NorthEast Community Bancorp have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.

#### Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest rate risk is defined as the exposure to current and future earnings and capital that arises from adverse movements in interest rates. Depending on a bank's asset/liability structure, adverse movements in interest rates could be either rising or falling interest rates. For example, a bank with predominantly long-term fixed-rate assets and short-term liabilities could have an adverse earnings exposure to a rising rate environment. Conversely, a short-term or variable-rate asset base funded by longer-term liabilities could be negatively affected by falling rates. This is referred to as re-pricing or maturity mismatch risk.

Interest rate risk also arises from changes in the slope of the yield curve (yield curve risk), from imperfect correlations in the adjustment of rates earned and paid on different instruments with otherwise similar re-pricing characteristics (basis risk), and from interest rate related options embedded in our assets and liabilities (option risk).

Our objective is to manage our interest rate risk by determining whether a given movement in interest rates affects our net interest income and the market value of our portfolio equity in a positive or negative way and to execute strategies to maintain interest rate risk within established limits. The results at June 30, 2025 indicate the level of risk within the parameters of our model. Our management believes that the June 30, 2025 results indicate a profile that reflects interest rate risk exposures in both rising and declining rate environments for both net interest income and economic value.

***Model Simulation Analysis.*** We view interest rate risk from two different perspectives. The traditional accounting perspective, which defines and measures interest rate risk as the change in net interest income and earnings caused by a change in interest rates, provides the best view of short-term interest rate risk exposure. We also view interest rate risk from an economic perspective, which defines and measures interest rate risk as the change in the market value of portfolio equity caused by changes in the values of assets and liabilities, which fluctuate due to changes in interest rates. The market value of portfolio equity, also referred to as the economic value of equity, is defined as the present value of future cash flows from existing assets, minus the present value of future cash flows from existing liabilities.

These two perspectives give rise to income simulation and economic value simulation, each of which presents a unique picture of our risk of any movement in interest rates. Income simulation identifies the timing and magnitude of changes in income resulting from changes in prevailing interest rates over a short-term time horizon (usually one or two years). Economic value simulation reflects the interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities in a more comprehensive fashion, reflecting all future time periods. It can identify the quantity of interest rate risk as a function of the changes in the economic values of assets and liabilities, and the corresponding change in the economic value of equity of NorthEast Community Bank. Both types of simulation assist in identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling interest rate risk and are employed by management to ensure that variations in interest rate risk exposure will be maintained within policy guidelines.

We produce these simulation reports and discuss them at our Asset and Liability Committee meetings on at least a quarterly basis. The simulation reports compare baseline (no interest rate change) to the results of an interest rate shock, to illustrate the specific impact of the interest rate scenario tested on income and equity. The model, which incorporates asset and liability rate information, simulates the effect of various interest rate movements on income and equity value. The reports identify and measure our interest rate risk exposure present in our current asset/liability structure. Management considers both a static (current position) and dynamic (forecast changes in volume) analysis as well as non-parallel and gradual changes in interest rates and the yield curve in assessing interest rate exposures.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

If the results produce quantifiable interest rate risk exposure beyond our limits, then the testing will have served as a monitoring mechanism to allow us to initiate asset/liability strategies designed to reduce and therefore mitigate interest rate risk. The table below sets forth an approximation of our interest rate risk exposure. The simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2025. The income simulation analysis presented represents a one-year impact of the interest scenario assuming a static balance sheet. Various assumptions are made regarding the prepayment speed and optionality of loans, investment securities and deposits, which are based on analysis and market information. The assumptions regarding optionality, such as prepayments of loans and the effective lives and repricing of non-maturity deposit products, are documented periodically through evaluation of current market conditions and historical correlations to our specific asset and liability products under varying interest rate scenarios.

Because the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on a number of assumptions, these computations should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. While we believe such assumptions to be reasonable, assumed prepayment rates may not approximate actual future prepayment activity on mortgage-backed securities or agency issued collateralized obligations (secured by one- to four-family loans and multifamily loans). Further, the computation does not reflect any actions that management may undertake in response to changes in interest rates and assumes a constant asset base. Management periodically reviews the rate assumptions based on existing and projected economic conditions and consults with industry experts to validate our model and simulation results.

The table below sets forth, as of June 30, 2025, NorthEast Community Bank's net portfolio value, the estimated changes in our net portfolio value and net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel changes in market interest rates.

| -200 | (15.46)% | 347310 | (4.13)% |

---

As of June 30, 2025, based on the scenarios above, net interest income would increase by approximately 6.86% to 13.63%, over a one-year time horizon in a rising interest rate environment. One-year net interest income would decrease by approximately 7.64% to 15.46% in a declining interest rate environment over the same period.

Economic value at risk would be positively impacted by a rise in interest rates and negatively impacted by a decline in interest rates. We have established an interest rate floor of zero percent for measuring interest rate risk. The difference between the two results reflects the relatively long terms of a portion of our assets which is captured by the economic value at risk but has less impact on the one year net interest income sensitivity.

Overall, our June 30, 2025 results indicate that we are adequately positioned with an acceptable net interest income and economic value at risk and that all interest rate risk results continue to be within our policy guidelines.
