**Ponce Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries** 

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

**Note 1. Nature of Business**

<u>Basis of Presentation and Consolidation:</u>

Ponce Financial Group, Inc. (hereafter referred to as "we," "our," "us," "Ponce Financial Group, Inc.," or the "Company") is a financial holding company and the holding company of Ponce Bank, National Association. ("Ponce Bank" or the "Bank"), a national bank (See Note 15). The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Ponce Bank. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For further information, refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in the Company' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025 (the "2024 Form 10-K").

<u>Use of Estimates</u>: In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, the valuation of loans held for sale, the valuation of deferred tax assets and investment securities and the estimates relating to the valuation for share-based awards.

<u>Segment Reporting</u>: Effective December 31, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ASU 2023-07, *"Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures."* Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the Company's CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating segment and one reportable segment.

<u>Reclassification of Prior Periods Presentation</u>: Certain prior periods amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or comprehensive income. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at December 31, 2024, Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024, and deposits (Note 7) for details on the reclassification.

**Note 2. Preferred Stock** 

On June 7, 2022 (the "Original Closing Date"), the Company issued 225,000 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock‎, par value $0.01 (the "Preferred Stock") for an aggregate purchase price equal to $225,000,000 in cash to the Treasury, pursuant to the Treasury's ECIP. Under the ECIP, Treasury provided investment capital directly to depository institutions that are CDFIs or MDIs or their holding companies, to provide loans, grants, and forbearance for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and consumers, in low-income and underserved communities. No dividends accrued or were due for the first two years after issuance. For years three through ten, depending upon the level of qualified and/or deep impact lending made in targeted communities, as defined in the ECIP guidelines, dividends will be at an annual rate of either 2.0%, 1.25% or 0.5% and, thereafter, will be fixed at one of the foregoing rates. If we are unable to make qualified and/or deep impact loans at required levels, we will be required to pay dividends at the higher annual rates. Additionally, we may make qualified and/or deep impact loans that are riskier than we otherwise would in an effort to meet the lending requirements for the lower dividend rates and/or to qualify for the purchase option under the Repurchase Agreement (as described below).

Holders of Preferred Stock generally do not have any voting rights, with the exception of voting rights on certain matters as outlined in the Certificate of Designations. The Treasury is the holder of the Preferred Stock and a governmental entity, and the Treasury may hold interests that are different from a private investor in exercising its voting and other rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference, subject to certain limitations, in the amount of the sum of $1,000 per share plus declared and unpaid dividends (without accumulation of undeclared dividends) on each share.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

As a participant in the ECIP, the Company must comply with certain operating requirements. Specifically, the Company must adopt the Treasury's standards for executive compensation and luxury expenses for the period during which the Treasury holds equity issued under the ECIP. These restrictions may make it difficult to adequately compensate our management team, which could impact our ability to retain qualified management. Additionally, under the ECIP regulations, the Company cannot pay dividends or repurchase its common stock unless it meets certain income-based tests and has paid the required dividends on the Preferred Stock. In June 2024, the Company began paying dividends on its Preferred Stock, which dividends were $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

On December 20, 2024, the Company entered into an ECIP Securities Purchase Option Agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") with Treasury. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, Treasury has granted the Company an option to purchase all of the Preferred Stock during the Option Period, which is the first fifteen years following the Original Closing Date. The purchase price for the Preferred Stock pursuant to the purchase option is determined based on a formula equal to the present value of the Preferred Stock, calculated as set forth in the Repurchase Agreement, together with any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, as of the closing date. Subject to variations in interest rates and the equity risk premium, which are components included in the purchase price calculation, the Company presently expects that the purchase price will be at a substantial discount from the face value of the Preferred Stock.

The purchase option may not be exercised unless and until at least one of the Threshold Conditions under the Repurchase Agreement has been met. The Threshold Conditions are as follows: during the ten years that follow the Original Closing Date (the "ECIP Period") either (1) over any sixteen consecutive quarters, an average of at least 60% of the Company's Total Originations, as defined pursuant to the terms of the ECIP, qualifies as "Deep Impact Lending," as defined pursuant to the terms of the ECIP (the "Deep Impact Condition"); (2) over any twenty-four consecutive quarters, an average of at least 85% of the Company's Total Originations qualifies as "Qualified Lending," as defined pursuant to the terms of the ECIP (the "Qualified Lending Condition"); or (3) the Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of no more than 0.5%, which dividend rate is calculated pursuant to the ECIP and the terms thereof, at each of six consecutive Reset Dates, as defined in the ECIP.

The earliest possible date by which a Threshold Condition may be met is June 30, 2026, which is the end of the sixteenth consecutive quarter following the Original Closing Date. However, the Company does not currently meet any of the Threshold Conditions to exercise the purchase option, and there can be no assurance if and when the Threshold Conditions will be met. The closing of the repurchase of the Preferred Stock, if consummated, would occur between thirty and ninety days following the satisfaction of the Threshold Condition and all other applicable conditions. At present, the Company has reported 13 consecutive quarters for which it has met both the Deep Impact and Qualified Lending Conditions. The Preferred Stock currently has a dividend rate of 0.5%.

In addition to the requirement that a Threshold Condition be met, the Repurchase Agreement requires that the Company meet certain other eligibility conditions in order to exercise the purchase option in the future, including compliance with the terms of the original ECIP purchase agreement and the terms of the Preferred Stock, maintaining qualification as either a CDFI or an MDI, and meeting other legal and regulatory criteria. Although the Company currently meets the general eligibility criteria, other than satisfying one of the Threshold Conditions, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet such criteria in the future.

The purchase option granted under the agreement is a freestanding financial instrument under GAAP. The Company analyzed the fair value of the repurchase option in accordance with ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements" and determined that the purchase option value is de minimis as of December 20, 2024, December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had 33 and 37 available-for-sale securities and 21 and 27 held-to-maturity securities at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, with gross unrealized loss positions. Management reviewed the financial condition of the entities underlying the securities at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The unrealized losses related to the Company debt securities were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies and corporate bonds. The Company does not believe that the debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2025 represents a credit

loss impairment. The gross unrealized loss positions related to mortgage-backed securities and other obligations issued by the U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government and have a long history of zero credit loss. Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates relative to when the investment securities were purchased and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities.

Management reviewed the collectability of the corporate bonds taking into consideration of such factors as the financial condition of the issuers, reported regulatory capital ratios of the issuers, credit ratings, including ratings in effect as of the reporting date. Management believes the unrealized losses on the corporate bonds are primarily attributable to changes in the interest rates and not changes in the credit quality of the issuers of the corporate bonds.

The following is a summary of maturities of securities at September 30, 2025. Amounts are shown by contractual maturity. Because borrowers for mortgage-backed securities have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties, at any time, these securities are included as a total within the table.

The Company's lending activities are conducted principally in metropolitan New York City. The Company primarily grants loans secured by real estate to individuals and businesses pursuant to an established credit policy applicable to each type of lending activity in which it engages. Although collateral provides assurance as a secondary source of repayment, the Company ordinarily requires the primary source of repayment to be based on the borrowers' ability to generate continuing cash flows. The Company also evaluates the collateral and creditworthiness of each customer. The credit policy provides that depending on the borrowers' creditworthiness and type of collateral, credit may be extended up to predetermined percentages of the market value of the collateral or on an unsecured basis. Real estate is the primary form of collateral. Other important forms of collateral are time deposits and marketable securities.

For disclosures related to the allowance for credit losses and credit quality, the Company does not have any disaggregated classes of loans below the segment level.

<u>Credit-Quality Indicators</u>: Internally assigned risk ratings are used as credit-quality indicators, which are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis.

The objectives of the Company's risk-rating system are to provide the Board of Directors and senior management with an objective assessment of the overall quality of the loan portfolio, to promptly and accurately identify loans with well-defined credit weaknesses so that timely action can be taken to minimize credit loss, to identify relevant trends affecting the collectability of the loan portfolio, to isolate potential problem areas and to provide essential information for determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.

Below are the definitions of the internally assigned risk ratings:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**<u>Strong Pass</u>** – Loans to a new or existing borrower collateralized at least 90 percent by an unimpaired deposit account at the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**<u>Good Pass</u>** – Loans to a new or existing borrower in a well-established enterprise in excellent financial condition with strong liquidity and a history of consistently high level of earnings, cash flow and debt service capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**<u>Satisfactory Pass</u>** – Loans to a new or existing borrower of average strength with acceptable financial condition, satisfactory record of earnings and sufficient historical and projected cash flow to service the debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**<u>Performance Pass</u>** – Existing loans that evidence strong payment history but document less than average strength, financial condition, record of earnings, or projected cash flows with which to service the debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**<u>Special Mention</u>** – Loans in this category are currently protected but show one or more potential weaknesses and risks which may inadequately protect collectability or borrower's ability to meet repayment terms at some future date if the weakness or weaknesses are not monitored or remediated.

**Ponce Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries** 

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**<u>Substandard</u>** – Loans that are inadequately protected by the repayment capacity of the borrower or the current sound net worth of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans in this category have well defined weaknesses and risks that jeopardize the repayment. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that some loss may be sustained if the deficiencies are not remediated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**<u>Doubtful</u>** – Loans that have all the weaknesses of loans classified as "Substandard" with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans within the top four categories above are considered pass rated, as commonly defined. Risk ratings are assigned as necessary to differentiate risk within the portfolio. Risk ratings are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised to reflect changes in the borrowers' financial condition and outlook, debt service coverage capability, repayment performance, collateral value and coverage as well as other considerations.

Loans are considered impaired when current information and events indicate all amounts due may not be collectable according to the contractual terms of the related loan agreements. Impaired loans are identified by applying normal loan review procedures in accordance with the allowance for credit losses methodology. Management periodically assesses loans to determine whether impairment exists. Any loan that is, or will potentially be, no longer performing in accordance with the terms of the original loan contract is evaluated to determine impairment.

The following information relates to impaired loans as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024:

**Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty**

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-02 on January 1, 2023. Since adoption, the Company modified one loan with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. These modifications may include a reduction in interest rate, an extension in term, principal forgiveness and/or other than insignificant payment delay. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was one loan in the amount of $0.2 million with modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023, the Company classified certain loans as troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") loans when credit terms to a borrower in financial difficulty were modified, in accordance with ASC 310-40. With the adoption of ASU 2022-02 as of January 1, 2023, the Company has ceased to recognize or measure for new TDRs but those existing at December 31, 2022 will remain until settled.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 17 and 18 troubled debt restructured loans totaling $5.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of which $4.4 million and $4.7 million are on accrual status at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. There were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring.

**Off-Balance Sheet Credit Losses**

Also included within the scope of the CECL standard are off-balance sheet loan commitments, which includes the unfunded portion of committed lines of credit and construction loans.

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the company is exposed to credit risk through a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The Company uses similar assumptions and risk factors that are developed for collectively evaluated financing receivables. This estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments to be funded over its estimated life.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for off-balance sheet credit losses was $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, which is included in the "Other liabilities" on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in benefit for credit losses and $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in benefit for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, for off-balance items, which are included in "Provision (benefit) for contingencies" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**Note 6. Leases**

The Company has 17 operating leases for branches and office spaces (including headquarters) and six operating leases for equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to approximately 14.3 years, none of which has a renewal option reasonably certain of exercise, which has been reflected in the Company's calculation of lease term.

**Note 10. Commitments, Contingencies and Credit Risk**

<u>Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk</u>: In the normal course of business, financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk may be used to meet the financing needs of customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

**Ponce Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries** 

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The contractual amounts of commitments to extend credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully drawn upon, the customer default, and the value of any existing collateral become worthless. The same credit policies are used in making commitments and contractual obligations as for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent credit risk at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **September 30,** | **December 31,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
|  | **(in thousands)** | **(in thousands)** |
| Commitments to grant mortgage loans | $270978 | $359170 |
| Unfunded commitments under lines of credit | 125274 | 52329 |
| Total commitments | $396252 | $411499 |

---

<u>Commitments to Grant Mortgage Loans</u>: Commitments to grant mortgage loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as all terms and conditions are met as established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, and may require payment of a fee by the borrower. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer's creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties. Material losses are not anticipated as a result of these transactions.

<u>Commitments to Sell Loans at Lock-in Rates:</u> In order to assure itself of a marketplace to sell its loans, the Bank has agreements with investors who will commit to purchase loans at locked-in rates. The Bank has off-balance sheet market risk to the extent that the Bank does not obtain matching commitments from these investors to purchase the loans. This will expose the Bank to the lower of cost or market valuation environment.

<u>Repurchases, Indemnifications and Premium Recaptures</u>: Loans sold by the Bank under investor programs are subject to repurchase or indemnification if they fail to meet the origination criteria of those programs. In addition, loans sold to investors are also subject to repurchase or indemnifications if the loan is two or three months delinquent during a set period which usually varies from six months to a year after the loan is sold. There are no open repurchase or indemnification requests for loans sold as a correspondent lender or where the Company acted as a broker in the transaction as of September 30, 2025.

<u>Unfunded Commitments Under Lines of Credit</u>: Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extension of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are uncollateralized and usually contain a specified maturity date and, ultimately, may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

<u>Unfunded Commitments with Oaktree</u>: In December of 2021, the Bank committed to invest $5.0 million in Oaktree SBIC Fund, L.P. ("Oaktree"). As of September 30, 2025, the total unfunded commitment was $1.7 million.

<u>Unfunded Commitments with Silvergate</u>: In April of 2022, the Company committed to invest $5.2 million in EJF Silvergate Ventures Fund LP ("Silvergate"). As of September 30, 2025, the total unfunded commitment was $1.4 million.

<u>Letters of Credit</u>: Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Letters of credit are largely cash secured.

<u>Concentration by Geographic Location</u>: Loans, commitments to extend credit and letters of credit have been granted to customers who are located primarily in the New York City metropolitan area. Generally, such loans most often are secured by residential properties. The loans are expected to be repaid from the borrowers' payment sources.

<u>Legal Matters</u>: The Company is involved in various legal proceedings which have arisen in the normal course of business. Management believes that resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

**Note 11. Fair Value**

The following fair value hierarchy is used based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

<u>Cash and Cash Equivalents, Placement with Banks, Accrued Interest Receivable, and Accrued Interest Payable</u>: The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. These assets and liabilities are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

<u>Available-for-Sale Securities</u>: These financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models (e.g., matrix pricing) or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples of such instruments include government agency bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Level 3 securities are securities for which significant unobservable inputs are utilized. There were no changes in valuation techniques used to measure similar assets during the period.

<u>FHLBNY Stock</u>: The carrying value of FHLBNY stock approximates fair value since the Bank can redeem such stock with FHLBNY at cost. As a member of the FHLBNY, the Company is required to purchase this stock, which is carried at cost and classified as restricted equity securities.

<u>Loans Receivable</u>: For variable rate loans, which reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair values, adjusted for credit losses inherent in the portfolios. The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, adjusted for credit losses inherent in the portfolios. Impaired loans are valued using a present value discounted cash flow method, or the fair value of the collateral. Loans are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

<u>Mortgage Loans Held for Sale</u>: Loans held for sale, at fair value, consists of loans originated for sale by the Bank and accounted for under the fair value option. These assets are valued using stated investor pricing for substantially equivalent loans as Level 2. In determining fair value, such measurements are derived based on observable market data, including whole-loan transaction pricing and similar market transactions adjusted for portfolio composition, servicing value and market conditions. Loans held for sale by the Bank are carried at the lower of cost or fair value as determined by investor bid prices.

Under the fair value option, management has elected, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, fair value for substantially all forms of mortgage loans originated for sale on a recurring basis. As of September 30, 2025, the fair value carrying amount of mortgages held for sale measured under the fair value option was $5.8 million and the aggregate unpaid principal amounted to $5.8 million.

<u>Other Real Estate Owned</u>: Other real estate owned represents real estate acquired through foreclosure, and is recorded at fair value less estimated disposal costs on a nonrecurring basis. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management's estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the asset is classified as Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the asset is classified as Level 3.

<u>Deposits</u>: The fair values of demand deposits, savings, NOW and money market accounts equal their carrying amounts, which represent the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-term, fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates on certificates of deposit to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on such deposits. Deposits are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

<u>FHLBNY Advances</u>: The fair value of the advances is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current market-based FHLBNY interest rates for advances of similar maturity to a schedule of maturities of such advances. These borrowings are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

<u>Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments</u>: Fair values for off-balance-sheet instruments (lending commitments and standby letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. Off-balance-sheet instruments are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the valuation hierarchy at the end of the applicable reporting periods. There were no transfers of Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Fair value for Level 3 securities was determined using a third-party pricing service with limited levels of activity and price transparency.

<u>Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments</u>: Loan commitments on which the committed interest rate is less than the current market rate are insignificant at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

The fair value information about financial instruments are disclosed, whether or not recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. The estimated fair value amounts for 2025 and 2024 have been measured as of their respective period-ends and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than amounts reported at each period.

The information presented should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only required for a limited portion of the Company's assets and liabilities. Due to the 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 banks may not be meaningful.

**Note 12. Regulatory Capital Requirements**

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's operations and financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total risk-based and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined), common equity Tier 1 capital (as defined), and Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets (as defined) adjusted total assets (as defined). As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the applicable capital adequacy requirements specified below have been met.

The below minimum capital requirements exclude the capital conservation buffer required to avoid limitations on capital distributions including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The applicable capital buffer for the Bank was 13.8% at September 30, 2025 and 13.5% at December 31, 2024.

The most recent notification from the OCC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, common equity risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There were no conditions or events since then that have changed the Bank's category.

The Company's and the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 as compared to regulatory requirements are as follows:

On October 10, 2025, the Company wholly-owned subsidiary, Ponce Bank (formerly a federally chartered stock savings association), completed its previously announced conversion to a national bank and commenced operations as Ponce Bank, National Association. In connection with the conversion of Ponce Bank, the Company also commenced operations as a bank holding company as of the same date. Further, the Company also became a financial holding company, which is an additional election that allows the Company to engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity.

**Federal Economic Relief Funds To Aid Lending** 

***Emergency Capital Investment Program***

On June 7, 2022 (the "Original Closing Date"), the Company issued 225,000 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock‎, par value $0.01 (the "Preferred Stock") for an aggregate purchase price equal to $225,000,000 in cash to the Treasury, pursuant to the Treasury's ECIP. Under the ECIP, Treasury provided investment capital directly to depository institutions that are CDFIs or MDIs or their holding companies, to provide loans, grants, and forbearance for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and consumers, in low-income and underserved communities. No dividends accrued or were due for the first two years after issuance. For years three through ten, depending upon the level of qualified and/or deep impact lending made in targeted communities, as defined in the ECIP guidelines, dividends will be at an annual rate of either 2.0%, 1.25% or 0.5% and, thereafter, will be fixed at one of the foregoing rates. If we are unable to make qualified and/or deep impact loans at required levels, we will be required to pay dividends at the higher annual rates. Additionally, we may make qualified and/or deep impact loans that are riskier than we otherwise would in an effort to meet the lending requirements for the lower dividend rates and/or to qualify for the purchase option under the Repurchase Agreement (as described below).

Holders of Preferred Stock generally do not have any voting rights, with the exception of voting rights on certain matters as outlined in the Certificate of Designations. The Treasury is the holder of the Preferred Stock and a governmental entity, and the Treasury may hold interests that are different from a private investor in exercising its voting and other rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference, subject to certain limitations, in the amount of the sum of $1,000 per share plus declared and unpaid dividends (without accumulation of undeclared dividends) on each share.

As a participant in the ECIP, the Company must comply with certain operating requirements. Specifically, the Company must adopt the Treasury's standards for executive compensation and luxury expenses for the period during which the Treasury holds equity issued under the ECIP. These restrictions may make it difficult to adequately compensate our management team, which could impact our ability to retain qualified management. Additionally, under the ECIP regulations, the Company cannot pay dividends or repurchase its common stock unless it meets certain income-based tests and has paid the required dividends on the Preferred Stock. In June 2024, the Company began paying dividends on its Preferred Stock, which dividends were $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

On December 20, 2024, the Company entered into an ECIP Securities Purchase Option Agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") with Treasury. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, Treasury has granted the Company an option to purchase all of the Preferred

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

Stock during the Option Period, which is the first fifteen years following the Original Closing Date. The purchase price for the Preferred Stock pursuant to the purchase option is determined based on a formula equal to the present value of the Preferred Stock, calculated as set forth in the Repurchase Agreement, together with any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, as of the closing date. Subject to variations in interest rates and the equity risk premium, which are components included in the purchase price calculation, the Company presently expects that the purchase price will be at a substantial discount from the face value of the Preferred Stock.

The purchase option may not be exercised unless and until at least one of the Threshold Conditions under the Repurchase Agreement has been met. The Threshold Conditions are as follows: during the ten years that follow the Original Closing Date (the "ECIP Period") either (1) over any sixteen consecutive quarters, an average of at least 60% of the Company's Total Originations, as defined pursuant to the terms of the ECIP, qualifies as "Deep Impact Lending," as defined pursuant to the terms of the ECIP (the "Deep Impact Condition"); (2) over any twenty-four consecutive quarters, an average of at least 85% of the Company's Total Originations qualifies as "Qualified Lending," as defined pursuant to the terms of the ECIP (the "Qualified Lending Condition"); or (3) the Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of no more than 0.5%, which dividend rate is calculated pursuant to the ECIP and the terms thereof, at each of six consecutive Reset Dates, as defined in the ECIP.

The earliest possible date by which a Threshold Condition may be met is June 30, 2026, which is the end of the sixteenth consecutive quarter following the Original Closing Date. However, the Company does not currently meet any of the Threshold Conditions to exercise the purchase option, and there can be no assurance if and when the Threshold Conditions will be met. The closing of the repurchase of the Preferred Stock, if consummated, would occur between thirty and ninety days following the satisfaction of the Threshold Condition and all other applicable conditions. At present, the Company has reported 13 consecutive quarters for which it has met both the Deep Impact and Qualified Lending Conditions. The Preferred Stock currently has a dividend rate of 0.5%.

In addition to the requirement that a Threshold Condition be met, the Repurchase Agreement requires that the Company meet certain other eligibility conditions in order to exercise the purchase option in the future, including compliance with the terms of the original ECIP purchase agreement and the terms of the Preferred Stock, maintaining qualification as either a CDFI or an MDI, and meeting other legal and regulatory criteria. Although the Company currently meets the general eligibility criteria, other than satisfying one of the Threshold Conditions, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet such criteria in the future.

The Company believes that consummation of the repurchase of the Preferred Stock as contemplated by the Repurchase Agreement would be beneficial to its stockholders. As such, the Company expects it continue to emphasize its qualified Deep Impact Lending.

The purchase option granted under the agreement is a freestanding financial instrument under GAAP. The Company analyzed the fair value of the repurchase option in accordance with ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements" and determined that the purchase option value is de minimis as of December 20, 2024, December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025.

**CDFI Financial Assistance Award** 

On February 6, 2025, the Bank received a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Treasury as part of the CDFI Financial Assistance Award Program. This award is given to CDFI's to support their operations and expand services in economically distressed communities.

**Banking Development District**

The Ponce Bank Westchester Avenue Branch located at 2244 Westchester Avenue in the Castle Hill area of the Bronx was approved as a Banking Development District ("BDD"). New York State's BDD Program, administered by the Department of Financial Services ("DFS"), supports the establishment of bank and credit union branches in areas across New York State where there is a demonstrated need for banking services. To encourage participation, approved BDD branches receive access to subsidized and market rate deposits from New York State. On July 30, 2024, Ponce Bank received total program deposits of $35.0 million. On June 24, 2025, the Bank received an additional $10.0 million from the New York City Department of Finance resulting in a total BDD Program deposit of $45.0 million.

**Westchester Avenue Branch Re-Design** 

On February 27, 2025, Ponce Bank officers and administrators and members of the public celebrated the Bank's transformed Westchester Avenue Branch at its grand reopening. The transformed Branch is the result of the State-of-the-art Banking Technologies combined with Community Centric Banking that is customer friendly and supportive.

The transformation relaunched a process aimed at reinforcing the role of each banking branch as a "community hub" that attracts new depositors and business customers, but anchors Ponce Bank branches as community-centric destinations. The revitalization efforts

include Open Tellers that invite a more consultative experience, managers located at a central hub of the branch, private space for sensitive conversations, and meeting spaces as well as open areas with teleconferencing and AV equipment to encourage community-wide gatherings.

**Coral Gables, Florida Office**

On June 1, 2024, Ponce Bank opened its first-ever representative office in the state of Florida located at 1600 Ponce de Leon Drive in the Miami suburb of Coral Gables. This new office is home to a Commercial Relationship Officer who will split time between the new location and his former Bergen County, New Jersey territory. Many of our customers have businesses in Florida or spend their winter months here, and the large Hispanic community fits one of our primary demographics.

**Inwood, New York Branch** 

On September 16, 2025, Ponce Bank opened another branch at its new location 3879 9th Avenue, New York, NY 10034. With its ribbon cutting ceremony on October 6, 2025, the Bank noted that this new branch at this Inwood location will create opportunities for residents and small business owners in one of Manhattan's most vibrant and diverse neighborhoods.

**Ponce Bank Conversion**

On October 10, 2025, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Ponce Bank (formerly a federally chartered stock savings association), completed its previously announced conversion to a national bank and commenced operations as Ponce Bank, National Association. In connection with the conversion of Ponce Bank, the Company also commenced operations as a bank holding company as of the same date. Further, the Company also became a financial holding company, which is an additional election that allows the Company to engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity.

Ponce Bank sought to become a national bank in order to increase bank powers, including its eligibility to receive municipal deposits in New York. However, the Company and Ponce Bank do not expect any material changes in their core business as a result of the Company becoming a bank holding company and a financial holding company, and Ponce Bank becoming a national bank.

**Critical Accounting Policies**

Accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those involving significant judgments and assumptions by management and that could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets, liabilities or on income under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes that the most critical accounting policy relates to the allowance for credit losses.

Policies with respect to the methodology used to determine the allowance for credit losses is a critical accounting policy and estimate because of its importance to presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and high level of subjectivity. The critical accounting policy involves a higher degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions, and estimates could result in material differences in the results of operations or financial condition. The allowance for credit losses policy and its application is reviewed periodically, and at least annually, with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company's consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. The estimates and assumptions used are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

**Company's Growth**

The Company has deployed a mobile application that digitizes the lending workflow from pre-approval to servicing and enables the Company to originate, close and fund small business loans within very short spans of time, without requiring a physical presence within banking offices and with automated underwriting using both traditional and non-traditional methods. The application was developed by Lending Front, a fintech in which the Company has acquired a financial interest. All Commercial Relationship Officers and Banking Branch Managers utilize these capabilities. The Company is seeking to establish loan origination partnerships with non-profit and community-based organizations to ensure penetration in underserved and underbanked markets.

The Company continues its relationship with Raisin Solutions US LLC ("Raisin"), a fintech that focuses on gathering deposits for financial institutions through the Internet. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $639.1 million and $574.1 million, respectively, in such deposits, which the Company classifies as core deposits.

Because the Company, through Ponce Bank, is an MDI and a CDFI, deposits made by other financial institutions may be treated as CRA credits by those depository institutions.

At December 31, 2018, the first year after our initial public offering, the Company had approximately $1.06 billion in assets, $918.5 million in loans, net of allowance for credit losses of $12.7 million, and $809.8 million in deposits. The Company has since grown to $3.16 billion in assets, $2.49 billion in loans receivables, net of allowance for credit losses of $24.8 million, and $2.06 billion in deposits at September 30, 2025, all while investing in infrastructure, implementing digital banking and diversifying its product offering. Now, the Company believes that it is poised to enhance its presence, locally and in similar communities outside New York, as a leading CDFI and MDI financial institution holding company.

**Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024**

***Total Assets***. Total consolidated assets increased $117.1 million, or 3.9%, to $3.16 billion at September 30, 2025 from $3.04 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets is largely attributable to increases of $203.4 million in net loans receivable, $8.1 million in other assets, $6.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1.1 million in accrued interest receivable and $0.3 million in deferred tax asset, partially offset by decreases of $82.8 million in held-to-maturity securities, $10.1 million in available-for-sale securities, $4.9 million in mortgage loans held for sale, $3.2 million in Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock, $0.8 million in right of use asset and $0.7 million in premises and equipment, net.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***. Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.7 million, or 4.8%, to $146.6 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $139.8 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily the result of an increase of $167.9 million in net deposits, $97.7 million in proceeds from maturities, calls and principal repayment on securities, $6.7 million from sale of loans and $3.2 million in net redemption of FHLBNY stock. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was offset primarily by an increase of $212.7 million in net loans and $75.0 million in net repayment of borrowings.

***Securities.*** The Company securities portfolio decreased $10.1 million, or 9.7%, to $94.8 million in available-for-sale at September 30, 2025 from $105.0 million December 31, 2024 and decreased $82.8 million, or 22.5%, to $285.1 million in held-to-maturity at September 30, 2025 from $367.9 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in the securities portfolio was primarily due to three available-for-sale securities in the total amount of $7.0 million and three held-to-maturity securities in the total amount of $50.0 million that matured and/or were called and changes in principal amount of the securities.

Based on current internal loan reviews, the Company believes that the quality of our underwriting, our weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 49.3% and our customer selection processes have served us well and provided us with a reliable base with which to maintain a well-protected loan portfolio.

Multifamily residential loans increased $18.4 million, or 2.7%, when compared to December 31, 2024. The majority of the increases in multifamily residential loans that were refinanced from construction and land loans to a new permanent loan facility.

Construction and land loans increased $152.7 million, or 20.8%, when compared to December 31, 2024. The $152.7 million growth in construction and land mortgage loans is related to funding of existing commitments prior to 2025 and new commitments, offset by loans that were refinanced from construction and land loans to new permanent loan facilities.

Our commitments to grant new mortgage loans decreased by $88.2 million as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. See Note 10 ("Commitments, Contingencies and Credit Risk") of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company had 70 construction and land mortgage loans with balances of $886.4 million as indicated in the table above. Of those loans, 38 loans with aggregate balances of $599.6 million, or 67.7%, of the total, have a percentage of completion of 80% or more. Within those 38 loans there are 20 loans with balances of $328.6 million that are 100% completed and the properties have received their certificates of occupancy.

Commercial real estate loans, as defined by applicable banking regulations, include multifamily residential, nonresidential properties, and construction and land mortgage loans. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately 3.4% and 3.5%, respectively, of the outstanding principal balance of the Bank's commercial real estate mortgage loans were secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate. Owner-occupied commercial real estate is similar in many ways to commercial and industrial lending in that these loans are generally made to businesses predominantly on the basis of the cash flows of the business rather than on valuation of the real estate.

Banking regulations have established guidelines relating to the amount of construction and land mortgage loans and investor- owned commercial real estate mortgage loans of 100% and 300% of total risk-based capital, respectively. Should a bank's ratios be in excess of these guidelines, banking regulations generally require an increased level of monitoring in these lending areas by bank management. The Bank's policy is to operate within the 200% guideline for construction and land mortgage loans and up to 450% for investor-owned commercial real estate mortgage loans. Both ratios are calculated by dividing certain types of loan balances for each of the two categories by the Bank's total risk-based capital. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank's construction and land mortgage loans as a percentage of total risk-based capital was 167.0% and 145.0%, respectively. Investor-owned commercial real estate mortgage loans as a percentage of total risk-based capital was 366.1% and 341.7% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2025, the Bank was above the 100% guidelines established by the banking regulations and under the 200% guidelines set by the Bank for construction and land mortgage loans and above the 300% guideline established by banking regulators but under the 450% guidelines set by the Bank for investor owned commercial real estate mortgage loans. Management believes that it has established the appropriate level of controls to monitor the Bank's lending in these areas.

***Loans Held For Sale***. Loans held for sale, at fair value, at September 30, 2025 decreased $4.9 million, or 46.0%, to $5.8 million from $10.7 million at December 31, 2024.

The overall reliance on wholesale funding and noncore funding were within those policy limitations as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The $6.2 million increase in net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was attributable to an increase of $5.6 million in total interest and dividend income primarily due to increases in average loans receivable and a decrease of $0.7 million in interest expense due primarily to a higher average cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities.

***Net Interest Income.*** Net interest income increased $16.1 million, or 28.9%, to $71.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $55.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $16.1 million increase in net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was attributable to an increase of $17.0 million in total interest and dividend income primarily due to increases in average loans receivable, offset by an increase of $0.8 million in interest expense due primarily to a higher average cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities.

Net interest rate spread increased by 62 basis points to 2.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 1.77% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the net interest rate spread for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to and an increase in the average yields on interest-earning assets of 33 basis points to 6.05% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 5.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and a decrease in the average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 29 basis points to 3.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Net interest margin increased 52 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, to 3.18% from 2.66% for nine months ended September 30, 2024.

On September 18, 2024, the Federal Reserve announced that the target range for the federal funds rate decreased by 50 basis points to 4.75% to 5.00% effective on September 19, 2024. It marked the first rate cut in over four years and signaled a shift in strategy aimed at bolstering the economy and preventing a rise in unemployment. In November 2024, the Federal Reserve lowered the target range by 25 basis points to 4.50% to 4.75% and in December 2024 another 25 basis points to 4.25% to 4.50%. The Federal Reserve during its July 2025 meeting, reduced its federal funds rate by 50 basis points and a further 25 basis points in September 2025 resulting in the federal funds rate at 4.00% to 4.25%. Our net interest income may be positively impacted if the demand for loans increases due to the lower rates, alone or in tandem with lower inflation.

***Non-Interest Income.*** Non-interest income increased $0.8 million, or 16.0%, to $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $0.8 million increase in non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was attributable to increases of $0.9 million in grant income, $0.8 million in late and prepayment charges and $0.4 million in income on sale of SBA loans, partially offset by decreases of $1.0 million in other non-interest income attributable to the Bank's investment in Oaktree as a result of a loss from Oaktree's investment and $0.3 million in income on the sale of mortgage loans.

The $0.4 million increase in non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to increases of $0.7 million in occupancy and equipment, $0.4 million in data processing expenses and $0.4 million in other operating expense, partially offset by decreases of $1.2 million in direct loan expenses and $0.3 million in professional fees.

**Rate/Volume Analysis**

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on the Company's net interest income for the periods indicated. The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

**Management of Market Risk**

***General***. The most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of the Bank's assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of its financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. The Bank's Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO") is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in the Bank's assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given the business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with policies and guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. The Bank currently utilizes a third-party modeling solution that is prepared on a quarterly basis, to evaluate its sensitivity to changing interest rates, given the Bank's business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.

***Net Interest Income Simulation Models***. Management utilizes a respected, sophisticated third party designed asset liability modeling software that measures the Bank's earnings through simulation modeling. Earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments are combined with forecasts of interest rates for the next 12 months and are combined with other factors in order to produce various earnings simulations over that same 12-month period. To limit interest rate risk, the Bank has policy guidelines for earnings risk which seek to limit the variance of net interest income under instantaneous changes to interest rates. As of

(1)Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

Although an instantaneous and severe shift in interest rates was used in this analysis to provide an estimate of exposure under these scenarios, management believes that a gradual shift in interest rates would have a more modest impact. Further, the earnings simulation model does not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in product mix, changes in yield curve relationships, and changing product spreads that could alter any potential adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

The behavior of the deposit portfolio in the baseline forecast and in alternate interest rate scenarios set out in the table above is a key assumption in the projected estimates of net interest income. The projected impact on net interest income in the table above assumes no change in deposit portfolio size or mix from the baseline forecast in alternative rate environments. In higher rate scenarios, any customer activity resulting in the replacement of low-cost or non-interest-bearing deposits with higher-yielding deposits or market-based funding would reduce the benefit in those scenarios.

At September 30, 2025, the earnings simulation model indicated that the Bank was in compliance with the Board of Directors approved Interest Rate Risk Policy.

***Economic Value of Equity Model***. While earnings simulation modeling attempts to determine the impact of a changing rate environment to net interest income, the Economic Value of Equity Model ("EVE") measures estimated changes to the economic values of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items as a result of interest rate changes. Economic values are determined by discounting expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items, which establishes a base case EVE. Rates are then shocked as prescribed by the Interest Rate Risk Policy to measure the sensitivity in EVE values for each of those shocked rate scenarios versus the base case. The Interest Rate Risk Policy sets limits for those sensitivities. At September 30, 2025, the EVE modeling calculated the following estimated changes in EVE due to instantaneous upward and downward changes in rates:

(1)Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

(2)EVE is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts.

(3)Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.

(4)EVE Ratio represents EVE divided by the present value of assets.

Although an instantaneous and severe shift in interest rates was used in this analysis to provide an estimate of exposure under these scenarios, management believes that a gradual shift in interest rates would have a more modest impact. Since EVE measures the

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

discounted present value of cash flows over the estimated lives of instruments, the change in EVE does not directly correlate to the degree that earnings would be impacted over a shorter time horizon (i.e., the current year). Further, EVE does not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in product mix, changes in yield curve relationships, and changing product spreads that could alter the adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

At September 30, 2025, the EVE model indicated that the Bank was in compliance with the Board of Directors' approved Interest Rate Risk Policy.

***Most Likely Earnings Simulation Models*.** Management also analyzes a most-likely earnings simulation scenario that projects the expected change in rates based on a forward yield curve adopted by management using expected balance sheet volumes forecasted by management. Separate growth assumptions are developed for loans, investments, deposits, etc. Other interest rate scenarios analyzed by management may include delayed rate shocks, yield curve steepening or flattening, or other variations in rate movements to further analyze or stress the balance sheet under various interest rate scenarios. Each scenario is evaluated by management and weighted to determine the most likely result. These processes assist management to better anticipate financial results and, as a result, management may determine the need to review other operating strategies and tactics which might enhance results or better position the balance sheet to reduce interest rate risk going forward.

Each of the above analyses may not, on its own, be an accurate indicator of how net interest income will be affected by changes in interest rates. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in general market rates. In addition, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features (generally referred to as interest rate caps and floors) which limit changes in interest rates. Prepayment and early withdrawal levels also could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the maturity of certain instruments. The ability of many borrowers to service their debts also may decrease during periods of rising interest rates. The ALCO Committee reviews each of the above interest rate sensitivity analyses along with several different interest rate scenarios as part of its responsibility to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established liquidity, loan, investment, borrowing and capital policies.

Management's model governance, model implementation and model validation processes and controls are subject to review in the Bank's regulatory examinations to ensure they are in compliance with the most recent regulatory guidelines and industry and regulatory practices. Management utilizes a respected, sophisticated third party designed asset liability modeling software to help ensure implementation of management's assumptions into the model are processed as intended in a robust manner. That said, there are numerous assumptions regarding financial instrument behaviors that are integrated into the model. The assumptions are formulated by combining observations gleaned from the Bank's historical studies of financial instruments and the best estimations of how, if at all, these instruments may behave in the future given changes in economic conditions, technology, etc. These assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Additionally, given the large number of assumptions built into Bank's asset liability modeling software, it is difficult, at best, to compare its results to other banks.

The ALCO Committee may determine that the Company should over time become more or less asset or liability sensitive depending on the underlying balance sheet circumstances and its conclusions regarding interest rate fluctuations in future periods. The historically low benchmark federal funds interest rate of the last several years implemented in response the turmoil resulting from COVID-19 pandemic has ended. On September 18, 2024, the Federal Reserve announced that the target range for the federal funds rate decreased by 50 basis points to 4.75% to 5.00% effective on September 19, 2024. It marked the first rate cut in over four years and signaled a shift in strategy aimed at bolstering the economy and preventing a rise in unemployment. In November 2024, the Federal Reserve lowered the target range by 25 basis points to 4.50% to 4.75% and in December 2024 another 25 basis points to 4.25% to 4.50%. The Federal Reserve during its July 2025 meeting, reduced its federal funs rate by 50 basis points and a further 25 basis points in September 2025 resulting in the federal funds rate at 4.00% to 4.25%. Our net interest income may be positively impacted if the demand for loans increases due to the lower rates, alone or in tandem with lower inflation.

.

***GAP Analysis***. In addition, management analyzes interest rate sensitivity by monitoring the Bank's interest rate sensitivity "gap." The interest rate sensitivity gap is the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest bearing-liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets maturing or repricing during a period exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing during the same period, and a gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing during a period exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets maturing or repricing during the same period.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net interest income and EVE tables presented assume that the composition of the interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net interest income and EVE tables provide an indication of the interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and EVE and will differ from actual results. Furthermore, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset.

In the event of changes in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the gap table.

Interest rate risk calculations also may not reflect the fair values of financial instruments. For example, decreases in market interest rates can increase the fair values of loans, deposits and borrowings.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Liquidity describes the ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of the Company's customers and to fund current and future planned expenditures.

Although maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The most liquid assets are cash and interest-bearing deposits in banks. The levels of these assets are dependent on operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. The Bank had $521.1 million and $571.1 million of outstanding term advances from FHLBNY at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Bank had no overnight line of credit advance from the FHLBNY at September 30, 2025 and $25.0 million of overnight line of credit advance from the FHLBNY at December 31, 2024.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $20.7 million and ($15.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations, purchase of loans, net purchase and redemption of FHLBNY stock and purchase of equipment offset by principal collections on loans and proceeds from maturities, calls and principal repayments on securities was ($106.0) million and ($226.1) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting of activities in borrowing, deposit accounts and dividends paid on preferred stock, was $92.1 million and $258.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all regulatory capital requirements were met, resulting in the Company and the Bank being categorized as well capitalized. Management is not aware of any conditions or events that would change this categorization.

**Material Cash Requirements**

***Commitments***. As a financial services provider, the Company routinely is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. Although these contractual obligations represent the Company's future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans originated. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans and extend credit of $396.3 million and $411.5 million, respectively.

It is anticipated that the Company will have sufficient funds available to meet its current lending commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in 2025 totaled $285.3 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing time deposits will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits are not retained, the Company may utilize FHLBNY advances, unsecured credit lines with correspondent banks, or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

***Contractual Obligations***. In the ordinary course of its operations, the Company enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities. There have been no material changes in the Company's material cash requirements under its contractual obligations as discussed in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

***Dividend on Preferred Stock***. Pursuant to the terms of its Preferred Stock, the Company is required to pay a quarterly dividend on its Preferred Stock, beginning during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The floor dividend rate is 0.50% and the ceiling dividend rate is 2.00%, based on achievement of certain qualified lending targets. For quarterly dividends through June 15, 2025, the Company is required to pay quarterly dividends on the Preferred Stock at a rate of 0.50%. In June 2024, the Company began paying dividends on its Preferred Stock, which dividends were $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Other Material Cash Requirements.*** In addition to contractual obligations, the Company's material cash requirements also includes compensation and benefits expenses for its employees, which were $23.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company also has material cash requirements for occupancy and equipment expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization of $1.6 million, related to rental expenses, general maintenance and cleaning supplies, guard services, software licenses and other miscellaneous expenses, which were $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

The information required by this item is included in Part I, Item 2 of this report under "Management of Market Risk".

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.
