The decrease in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in non-interest expense, offset by an increase in net interest income and non-interest income. The Company’s return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.79% and 7.56% for the second quarter of 2026, respectively, as compared to 0.88% and 8.57% for the second quarter of 2025, respectively. The decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in non-interest expense and a decrease in non-interest income, partially offset by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for credit losses. The Company’s return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.75% and 7.03% for the first six months of 2026, respectively, as compared to 0.80% and 8.04% for the first six months of 2025, respectively.

President and Chief Executive Officer Matthew Smith said, “During the second quarter, we continued to make progress in repositioning the franchise for sustainable growth and profitability. Our results reflected increased net interest and non-interest income, continued discipline in managing funding costs, and meaningful improvement in past-due loans. We are also investing in talent, technology, and capabilities that will broaden our growth opportunities and strengthen the organization over time. The successful completion of our second-step conversion following quarter-end represents an important milestone for Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. and significantly strengthens our capital position. We remain focused on deploying that capital prudently as we expand our commercial banking capabilities, advance our retail and digital deposit initiatives, and invest in the infrastructure necessary to support responsible, sustainable growth.”

The increase was primarily due to higher interest-earning asset balances and lower costs on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by lower yields on interest-earning assets and higher interest-bearing liability balances. The net interest margin decreased by 19 basis points to 3.78% and the interest rate spread decreased 13 basis points from 3.33% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to 3.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Year-to-date net interest income increased $297,000, or 1.3%, to $22.8 million from $22.5 million for the prior year six-month period, primarily due to higher interest-earning assets and lower costs on interest bearing liabilities, offset by a decreased yield on interest-earning assets and an increase in the balance of interest-bearing liabilities.

The provision for credit losses increased by $90,000, or 89.1%, from a $101,000 credit for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to an $11,000 credit for the current quarter. Net charge-offs increased $12,000, from $91,000 for the second quarter of 2025 to $103,000 for the second quarter of 2026. The increase was primarily due to increased net charge-offs of $47,000 in indirect automobile loans, substantially offset by decreased net charge-offs of $36,000 in consumer loans.

Year-to-date, the provision for credit losses decreased by $192,000, or 76.2%, from $252,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $60,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Non-interest income totaled $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $141,000, or 8.8%, from the comparable period in 2025, due primarily to an increase of $155,000, or 57.6%, in investment advisory fee income offset by a $69,000 decrease in net gain on sale of loans as we discontinued originating residential mortgage loans directly.

Non-interest income totaled $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $144,000, or 4.3%, from the comparable period in 2025, driven primarily by a decrease of $207,000, or 27.3%, in other non-interest income and a $107,000 decrease in net gain on sales of loans. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in investment advisory income of $122,000.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, non-interest expense totaled $10.0 million, an increase of $301,000, or 3.1%, compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and employee benefits of $296,000, higher professional fees of $144,000, and a rise in data processing costs of $71,000. These increases were partially offset by decreases in other non-interest expenses of $85,000, marketing expenses of $85,000, and FDIC deposit insurance and other insurance of $42,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, non-interest expense totaled $19.7 million, an increase of $531,000, or 2.8%, compared to $19.2 million for the same period in 2025. The variance was primarily driven by a $695,000, or 6.7%, increase in salaries and employee benefits, reflecting increased compensation and medical insurance costs, and higher occupancy and data processing expenses, which rose $164,000 and $155,000, respectively. These operational increases were partially offset by a $260,000 decrease in other expenses, a $140,000 decrease in marketing expenses, and a $120,000 decrease in FDIC deposit insurance costs.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets increased by $168.3 million, or 12.9%, to $1.47 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $1.30 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to a $202.6 million, or 198.6%, increase in cash and cash equivalents reflecting $156.0 million in stock subscriptions awaiting the closing of the stock offering. Available-for-sale securities increased by $9.2 million, or 5.7%, primarily due to $22.4 million in purchases, partially offset by $12.7 million in paydowns, calls, and maturities and a $740,000 increase in unrealized losses. The increase in total assets was partially offset by a decrease in loans receivable of $34.9 million, reflecting a $25.7 million reduction in indirect automobile loans in line with a strategic decision to reduce their concentration in the portfolio and an $11.6 million reduction in commercial real estate loans and a $4.4 million reduction in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by an increase of $6.7 million in residential real estate loans. Other assets decreased by $7.2 million, largely due to a decrease in the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps.

Past due loans decreased $5.0 million, or 34.6%, between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, to $9.5 million, or 1.03% of total loans, from $14.5 million, or 1.52% of total loans at year-end 2025. The decrease was most notable in indirect automobile loans, reflecting the positive impact of more conservative underwriting standards as well as a decrease in these loan balances. The allowance for credit losses was 0.83% of total loans and 227.06% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2026 as compared to 0.87% of total loans and 225.76% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2025. Non-performing assets totaled $3.4 million at June 30, 2026, a decrease of $312,000 from $3.7 million at December 31, 2025.

Total liabilities increased by $165.5 million, or 14.2%, to $1.33 billion at June 30, 2026, primarily driven by a $185.6 million, or 16.9%, increase in deposits which included $156.0 million in stock subscriptions, and a $3.8 million increase in mortgagors’ escrow accounts. The increases were slightly offset by a reduction in borrowings of $20.0 million, or 79.5%. The growth in deposits was attributable to a $170.1 million, or 19.6%, increase in interest-bearing deposits, which included $156.0 million in stock subscription deposits, while non-interest-bearing deposits increased by $15.5 million, or 6.8%. Uninsured deposits were approximately 36.7% and 27.9% of the Bank’s total deposits as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Excluding the $156.0 million of funds collected and held on deposit in a segregated account in connection with the Company's stock offering in the second quarter of 2026, the Company's uninsured deposits to total deposits totaled 28.0% at June 30, 2026.

Stockholders' equity increased $2.8 million, or 2.0%, to $139.6 million at June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to $4.8 million in net income partially offset by a $1.8 million repurchase of common stock and a $733,000 increase in the net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities. The Company's ratio of average equity to average assets was 10.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 10.09% for the year ended December 31, 2025.
