Chemung Financial Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2025 Net Income of $7.8 million, or $1.62 per share

ELMIRA, N.Y., Oct. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chemung Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) (Nasdaq: CHMG), the parent company of Chemung Canal Trust Company (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $7.8 million, or $1.62 per share, for the third quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $6.5 million, or $1.35 per share, for the second quarter of 2025, and net income of $5.7 million, or $1.19 per share, for the third quarter of 2024. “Third quarter results demonstrate the importance of the Corporation's balance sheet repositioning efforts undertaken over the past two quarters. Net interest income growth of $1.9 million, or approximately 9% compared to the prior quarter, reflects the immediate positive impact these actions have had on earnings by enabling continued investment in quality loan opportunities while simultaneously managing funding costs,” said Anders M. Tomson, President and CEO of Chemung Financial Corporation. “We are encouraged by continued strength in credit quality and the resilience of our core operations,” added Tomson. “These results affirm the strategic direction we've taken and the disciplined execution of our strategy by our team across all of our divisions. With strong pipelines in key markets and a continued focus on relationship banking, the Corporation remains well positioned to deliver long-term value for our clients, communities, and shareholders,” concluded Tomson. Third Quarter Highlights: The Corporation announced a $0.02 per share dividend increase during the third quarter, representing a 6.3% increase over the prior quarter. Year-to-date increases have totaled $0.03 per share, or 9.7% compared to the same period in the prior year. Dividends declared during the third quarter of 2025 were $0.34 per share. Average yield on interest-earning assets increased 32 basis points, to 5.15%, for the third quarter 2025, compared to 4.83% for the second quarter 2025, and cost of funds decreased nine basis points, to 1.85%, for the third quarter 2025, compared to 1.94% for the second quarter 2025.Total year-to-date loan growth approximated 8.4% on an annualized basis, including annualized commercial loan growth of 13.6%. Net interest margin increased 40 basis points, to 3.45%, for the third quarter 2025, compared to 3.05% for the second quarter 2025, largely due to the impact of the Corporation's balance sheet repositioning efforts.1 1 See the GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations. 3rd Quarter 2025 vs 2nd Quarter 2025 Net Interest Income: Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $22.7 million, compared to $20.8 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $1.9 million, or 9.1%, driven by increases of $1.6 million in interest income on loans and $0.3 million in interest income on interest-earning deposits, and a decrease of $0.9 million in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in interest income on taxable securities. Interest income on loans increased primarily due to an increase of $63.1 million in average balances of total loans, as well as an increase of seven basis points in the average yield on total loans, compared to the prior quarter. The increase in average balances of total loans was concentrated in commercial loans, which increased $68.5 million, and was largely concentrated in commercial real estate. Approximately half of the increase in average balances of commercial loans was attributable to the Corporation's Capital Bank division in the Albany market, while remaining growth was relatively evenly split between the Corporation's Canal Bank and Chemung Canal divisions in the Buffalo and Southern Tier markets, respectively. The average yield on commercial loans increased five basis points compared to the prior quarter, largely due to origination yields during the third quarter exceeding the portfolio's overall yield from the prior quarter. Average balances of residential mortgage loans increased $1.3 million compared to the prior quarter, and the average yield on residential mortgage loans increased 25 basis points compared to the prior quarter. The increase in the average yield on residential mortgage loans was primarily due to the recognition of interest income on the payoff of a previous nonaccrual loan and the recognition of deferred fees upon the payoff of several larger loans during the third quarter of 2025. Average balances of consumer loans decreased $6.7 million compared to the prior quarter, while the average yield on consumer loans decreased five basis points compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in average balances of consumer loans was mainly due to a decrease in average balances of indirect auto loans, due to the Corporation's continued prioritization of other types of lending, while the decrease in the average yield was primarily due to advances on promotional home equity lines of credit, which carry a below-market introductory interest rate, as well as normal runoff of higher interest rate indirect auto loans. Interest income on interest-earning deposits increased largely due to an increase of $24.1 million in average balances of interest-earning deposits, primarily comprised of remaining proceeds from the Corporation's sale of available for sale securities and issuance of subordinated notes in the prior quarter, net of proceeds used to pay off wholesale funding liabilities and the funding of commercial loan growth. Proceeds from the above cash-generating transactions were reflected in average balances for only a portion of the prior quarter. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease of nine basis points in the average yield on interest-earning deposits, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to a decrease in the interest rate earned on deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) as a result of a decrease in the Federal Reserve's Federal Funds Target Range Upper Limit of 25 basis points during the third quarter. Interest expense on deposits decreased primarily due to a decrease of $85.7 million in average balances of brokered deposits, compared to the prior quarter. The Corporation paid off $100.0 million in brokered deposits during July 2025 as part of its balance sheet repositioning efforts. Average balances of customer interest-bearing deposits decreased $16.9 million compared to the prior quarter, and were largely offset by an increase of $13.4 million in average balances of non-interest bearing deposits. The decrease in average balances of customer interest-bearing deposits was mainly due to a decrease of $11.6 million in average balances of customer time deposits, largely due to changes in the Corporation's promotional offerings in recent periods. The changes in promotional offerings were also the largest contributing factor in the decrease of four basis points in the average cost of customer time deposits compared to the prior quarter. Additionally, average balances of interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $8.5 million while the average cost of interest-bearing demand deposits increased one basis point, each compared to the prior quarter. Interest income on taxable securities decreased largely due to a decrease of $199.3 million in average balances of taxable securities, partially offset by an increase of seven basis points in the average yield on taxable securities, each compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in average balances was primarily due to the Corporation's sale of available for sale securities in the prior quarter. The increase in the average yield was mainly due to a decrease in amortization expense, largely due to sales of available for sale securities which had higher levels of amortization in the prior quarter. Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased mainly due to a decrease of $38.6 million in average balances of borrowed funds, despite an increase of 243 basis points in the average cost of borrowed funds. The decrease in average balances of borrowed funds was largely due to the payoff of Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) term advances at maturity with a portion of the proceeds from the Corporation's sale of available for sale securities, partially offset by an increase of $33.9 million in average balances of subordinated debt, due to the issuance of subordinated debt in June 2025. The issuance of subordinated debt was the primary driver in the increase in the average cost of borrowed funds compared to the prior quarter. Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.45% for the current quarter, compared to 3.05% for the prior quarter. Average interest-earning assets decreased $132.2 million and average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $141.1 million during the third quarter, compared to the prior quarter. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 32 basis points to 5.15%, while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased six basis points to 2.51%, compared to the prior quarter. Total cost of funds was 1.85% for the current quarter, compared to 1.94% for the prior quarter, a decrease of nine basis points. Provision for Credit Losses: Provision for credit losses was $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, in line with the prior quarter. The provision was largely due to growth in commercial loan balances, a decline in modeled prepayment speeds, and smaller adjustments in other model inputs, partially offset by slight improvements in Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) forecasts used in modeling. A decrease in net charge-offs compared to the prior quarter did not have a significant impact on the change in provision expense for the current quarter. Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $6.1 million, compared to a loss of $10.7 million for the prior quarter. The Corporation recognized a pre-tax loss of $17.5 million on the sale of a portion of its available for sale securities portfolio in the second quarter of 2025. Recurring non-interest income (see Non-GAAP reconciliations) for the current quarter, which excludes the loss on the sale of available for sale securities and a gain on the sale of a previous branch property during the prior quarter, was consistent with the prior quarter. Major line items comprising non-interest income for the current quarter were each consistent with the prior quarter. As previously disclosed, the loss recognized on the sale of available for sale securities was a major component of the Corporation's strategic balance sheet repositioning efforts and included the sale of securities with a total book value of $244.8 million in the prior quarter. Securities sold included all the Corporation's U.S. Treasury and SBA pooled-loan securities, as well as portions of the Corporation's mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds. The pre-tax loss represented 7.1% of the book value of securities sold. The Corporation also recognized a gain of $0.6 million on the sale of its previously disclosed held for sale branch property in Ithaca, New York during the prior quarter, with the operations of the branch having been consolidated into a nearby branch during 2024. Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $17.6 million, compared to $17.8 million for the prior quarter, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 1.1%, driven by decreases across expense line items, including decreases of $0.2 million in professional services and $0.1 million in each of marketing and advertising, FDIC insurance, and other non-interest expense, partially offset by increases of $0.3 million in salaries and wages and $0.2 million in pension and other employee benefits. Professional services decreased largely due to a decrease in tax-related services for the Corporation's Wealth Management Group compared to the prior quarter. Marketing and advertising decreased largely due to a decrease in digital advertising expenses due to the end of certain promotional campaigns which were active throughout the first half of 2025. FDIC insurance decreased compared to the prior quarter as a result of favorable changes in metrics used to determine assessment rates, including favorable changes in credit metrics. The decrease in other non-interest expense was mainly due to recoveries of non-loan charge-offs from prior periods and a higher level of non-loan charge-offs in the prior quarter, compared to the current quarter. Salaries and wages increased due to an increase in performance-based compensation in the current quarter, compared to the prior quarter, and recognition of expense on the accelerated vesting of restricted stock grants for employees retiring during the current quarter. Pension and other employee benefits increased largely due to an increase in employee healthcare-related expenses compared to the prior quarter. Income Tax Expense: Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $2.3 million, compared to a tax benefit of $2.4 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $4.7 million. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to the net loss on the Corporation's sale of available for sale securities in the second quarter of 2025. 3rd Quarter 2025 vs 3rd Quarter 2024 Net Interest Income: Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $22.7 million, compared to $18.4 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $4.3 million, or 23.4%, driven by increases of $2.4 million in interest income on loans and $0.7 million in interest income on interest-earning deposits, and a decrease of $2.8 million in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in interest income on taxable securities. Interest income on loans increased largely due to an increase of $151.4 million in average balances of total loans compared to the same period in the prior year, as well as an increase of three basis points in the average yield on total loans compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in average balances of total loans was concentrated in commercial loans, which increased $183.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year, largely comprised of growth in commercial real estate, particularly in the Corporation's Capital region and Western New York markets. The average yield on commercial loans decreased seven basis points compared to the same period in the prior year, largely due to declines in benchmark interest rates on existing variable rate loans, the lower market interest rate environment for new originations, and $0.2 million in interest income recognized on the payoff of a nonaccrual commercial real estate loan in the third quarter of 2024. Average balances of residential mortgage loans increased $4.3 million and the average yield on residential mortgage loans increased 41 basis points, each compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in average balances of residential mortgage loans was largely due to stronger origination activity year-to-date in 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year, however originations remain below typical historical levels. The increase in the average yield on residential mortgage loans was largely due to the higher interest rate environment resulting in origination yields which exceed the portfolio's average yield, as well as the recognition of interest income on the payoff of a previously nonaccrual loan and deferred fee income on early payoffs during the current period. Average balances of consumer loans decreased $36.2 million, while the average yield on consumer loans increased five basis points compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in average balances was largely due to normal portfolio turnover and lower origination activity in the indirect auto portfolio segment, as the Corporation has continued prioritizing funding other types of lending during the past year, and the increase in the average yield on consumer loans was primarily due to portfolio turnover in the indirect auto portfolio as older, lower-yielding balances were replaced by higher-yielding balances. The increase in average yield on consumer loans was partially offset by lower yields on originations of promotional home equity lines of credit and the impact of declines in benchmark interest rates, such as the Prime rate, over the past year on variable rate home equity loans and lines. Interest income on interest-earning deposits increased largely due to an increase of $64.3 million in average balances of interest-earning deposits, despite a decrease of 50 basis points in the average yield on interest-earning deposits, each compared to the same period in the prior year. Average balances of interest-earning deposits increased primarily due to proceeds from the Corporation's sale of available for sale securities and issuance of subordinated debt in the second quarter of 2025, net of payoffs of wholesale funding sources in the third quarter of 2025 and funding of commercial loan growth. The decrease in the average yield on interest-earning deposits was largely due to a decrease in the Federal Funds Target Range Upper Limit of 125 basis points between the third quarter of 2024 and third quarter of 2025. Deposits held at the FRBNY receive interest at a rate 10 basis points below the Federal Funds Target Range Upper Limit. Interest expense on deposits decreased mainly due to decreases of $58.7 million in average balances of brokered deposits and $47.0 million in average balances of customer time deposits, as well as decreases of 104 and 88 basis points in the average cost of brokered deposits and customer time deposits, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. Average balances of brokered deposits decreased due to the Corporation's payoff of all outstanding balances of brokered deposits during July 2025 as part of its balance sheet repositioning efforts. The decrease in the average cost of brokered deposits compared to the same period in the prior year was largely due to the declining interest rate environment, which the Corporation benefited from by largely utilizing brokered deposits with terms of three months or less. Average balances and the average cost of customer time deposits each decreased largely due to changes in the Corporation's promotional CD campaign offerings over the past year, including a shift in strategic focus beginning in 2024 toward shorter-term offerings to take advantage of the declining interest rate environment. Average balances of customer time deposits decreased to 21.7% of total average deposits in the third quarter of 2025 from 23.0% in the third quarter of 2024. Including customer time deposits, average balances of total interest-bearing customer deposits decreased $25.6 million, compared to the same period in the prior year and the average cost of customer interest-bearing deposits decreased 44 basis points, compared to the same period in the prior year. Combined, these changes resulted in a decrease of 52 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits compared to the same period in the prior year, from 2.88% in the third quarter of 2024 to 2.36% in the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, average balances of non-interest bearing deposits increased $17.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The deposit beta on total deposits was 34% between the third quarters of 2024 and 2025. Interest income on taxable securities decreased largely due to a decrease of $271.3 million in average balances of taxable securities, as well as a decrease of four basis points in the average yield on taxable securities, both compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in average balances was mainly attributable to $244.8 million in sales of available for sale securities during the second quarter of 2025 as part of the Corporation's balance sheet repositioning efforts and normal paydown activity between the third quarters of 2024 and 2025. The decrease in the average yield on taxable securities was primarily due to the average yield of securities sold in the second quarter of 2025 being higher than the overall average yield on the portfolio at the time of the sale. Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.45% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 2.72% for the same period in the prior year. Average interest-earning assets decreased $82.3 million, while average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $104.7 million, compared to the same period in the prior year, both primarily due to the net impact of the Corporation's balance sheet repositioning efforts. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 37 basis points to 5.15%, while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 46 basis points to 2.51%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Total cost of funds was 1.85% for the current quarter, compared to 2.24% for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of 39 basis points. Provision for Credit Losses: Provision for credit losses was $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $0.6 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $0.5 million. The increase was mostly due to stronger loan growth in the third quarter of 2025, which totaled $69.9 million, compared to loan growth of $17.5 million for the same period in the prior year, and adjustments to model inputs between the third quarters of 2024 and 2025. Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2025 was $6.1 million, compared to $5.9 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $0.2 million, or 3.4%, driven by increases of $0.1 million in each of other non-interest income and service charges on deposits. Other non-interest income increased mainly due to an increase in interest rate swap fees, reflecting an increase in originations of loans with interest rate swap exposures in the third quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year, as well as an increase in commission income attributable to the Corporation's CFS Group. Service charges on deposit accounts increased largely due to fee schedule increases which were phased in during the fourth quarter of 2024. Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $17.6 million, compared to $16.5 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $1.1 million, or 6.7%, driven by increases of $0.8 million in salaries and wages and $0.7 million in pension and other employee benefits, partially offset by decreases of $0.2 million in FDIC insurance and $0.1 million in each of other non-interest expense and loan expense. Salaries and wages increased largely due to an increase in base salaries, which included staffing in the Corporation's Western New York Canal Bank division, consisting of additional lending, branch, and wealth management personnel. Also contributing to the increase were merit-based salary increases for existing employees. Pension and employee benefits increased largely due to an increase in employee healthcare-related expenses compared to the same period in the prior year. FDIC insurance decreased largely due to favorable changes in metrics used to determine assessment rates. Other non-interest expense decreased due to decreases across a number of expense categories included in the line item. Loan expense decreased largely due to decreases in legal expenses compared to the same period in the prior year. Income Tax Expense: Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $2.3 million, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $0.8 million. The effective tax rate for the current quarter increased to 22.6%, compared to 20.9% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in pretax income. Asset Quality Non-performing loans totaled $7.8 million as of September 30, 2025, or 0.35% of total loans, compared to $9.0 million, or 0.43% of total loans as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in non-performing loans was largely due to commercial payoff, paydown, and charge-off activity during the first nine months of 2025. There were $2.2 million in paydowns and payoffs of non-performing commercial loans in the first nine months of 2025, including the payoff of a $1.0 million multifamily commercial mortgage and payoffs of three other commercial mortgages with balances at payoff of at least $0.1 million. Additionally, $0.8 million in non-performing commercial and industrial loan balances were charged off in the first nine months of 2025, nearly all of which was charged off in the second quarter. These decreases were partially offset by $0.4 million in commercial loan balances added to non-performing loans in the first nine months of 2025. Retail non-performing loans increased $1.4 million compared to December 31, 2024, with the increase being relatively evenly distributed among residential mortgages, home equity loans and lines, and indirect auto loans. Non-performing assets, which are comprised of non-performing loans, other real estate owned, and repossessed vehicles, were $8.0 million, or 0.30% of total assets as of September 30, 2025, compared to $9.6 million, or 0.35% of total assets as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in non-performing assets was largely due to a decrease in non-performing loans. Other real estate owned decreased to $0.1 million as of September 30, 2025 from $0.4 million as of December 31, 2024, and was comprised of only one property as of September 30, 2025, while repossessed vehicles were $0.2 million as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Total loan delinquencies decreased as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024, consisting of a decrease in commercial loan delinquencies, partially offset by an increase in retail loan delinquencies. Commercial loan delinquencies, inclusive of delinquent nonaccrual loans, decreased to $3.8 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $5.3 million as of December 31, 2024, while retail loan delinquencies increased to $7.3 million as of September 30, 2025 from $6.6 million as of December 31, 2024, largely due to increases in residential mortgage and indirect consumer loan delinquencies. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of total average loans for the third quarter of 2025 were 0.02%, compared to 0.19% for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 17 basis points. Net charge-offs experienced in the third quarter of 2025 were concentrated in the indirect auto segment of the consumer loan portfolio. Annualized consumer net charge-offs were 0.23% of average balances in the third quarter of 2025. Both commercial loans and residential mortgage loans had net recoveries in the third quarter of 2025. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of total average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 0.08%, compared to 0.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of four basis points, largely due to a $0.7 million commercial and industrial loan charge-off in the second quarter of 2025. Annualized commercial net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 0.06% of average balances while annualized consumer net charge-offs were 0.30% of average balances. Residential mortgage loans had net recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $23.6 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $21.4 million as of December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments, a component of other liabilities, was $0.5 million as of September 30, 2025 and $0.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans was primarily attributable to the annual review and update to loss drivers used in the Bank's CECL model, which resulted in higher baseline loss rates for most of the Bank's portfolio segments, as well as year-to-date loan growth, concentrated in commercial real estate. Also contributing to the increase in the allowance were declines in modeled prepayment speeds and deterioration in FOMC forecasted data points for national unemployment and GDP growth, among other adjustments to model inputs. Forecasts for year-end 2025 GDP growth decreased 50 basis points compared to December 31, 2024, while forecasts for year-end 2025 unemployment increased 20 basis points compared to December 31, 2024. 2026 forecasts were increasingly important to the model as of September 30, 2025, compared to the first and second quarters of 2025. Partially offsetting an overall increase in the allowance was a $0.8 million decrease in allowance allocations on individually analyzed loans, largely due to commercial net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2025. The ratio of allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 1.07% as of September 30, 2025 and 1.03% as of December 31, 2024, while the allowance for credit losses on loans was 304.63% of non-performing loans as of September 30, 2025 and 238.87% as of December 31, 2024. Provision for credit losses as a percentage of period-end loan balances was 0.05% for both the second and third quarters of 2025. Balance Sheet Activity Total assets were $2.697 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $2.776 billion as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of $79.5 million, or 2.9%. This decrease was driven by the Corporation's balance sheet repositioning efforts during 2025, which included the sale of a portion of the available for sale securities portfolio, issuance of subordinated debt, and payoff of the entirety of the Corporation's wholesale funding sources. Securities available for sale decreased $250.9 million, while loans, net of deferred origination costs, increased $130.9 million and cash and cash equivalents increased $60.6 million, each compared to December 31, 2024. Securities available for sale decreased primarily due to the Corporation's ongoing strategic balance sheet repositioning, which included the sale of available for sale securities with a market value totaling $227.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sale of securities included the Corporation's entire portfolio of U.S. Treasury and SBA pooled-loan securities, as well as portions of the mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds portfolios. Also contributing to the decrease were year-to-date net paydowns and maturities on available for sale securities totaling $39.9 million, largely on mortgage-backed and SBA pooled-loan securities. Partially offsetting the overall decrease in the available for sale securities portfolio was an increase of $17.6 million in the fair value of securities, mainly due to favorable changes in interest rates compared to December 31, 2024. Loans, net of deferred origination fees and costs increased mainly due to growth in commercial loan balances. Total commercial loan balances increased $154.7 million, or 10.2%, compared to prior year-end, comprised of increases of $145.0 million in commercial real estate balances and of $9.7 million in commercial and industrial balances. Approximately half of year-to-date commercial loan growth was attributable to the Corporation's Capital Bank division in the Albany market, while remaining growth was split between the Corporation's Canal Bank and Chemung Canal divisions in the Buffalo and Southern Tier markets, respectively. The Corporation continues to experience strong demand for commercial lending products. Residential mortgages increased $2.8 million, or 1.0%, compared to prior year-end, with overall year-to-date origination activity through September 30, 2025 increasing compared to the same period in the prior year. Consumer loans decreased $26.5 million, or 9.5%, compared to prior year-end, largely due to lower levels of indirect auto loan origination activity, and a relatively fast turnover rate in the portfolio. Indirect origination activity increased during the third quarter of 2025, compared to the first two quarters of 2025, as a result of a decrease in interest rates offered in the indirect lending program for certain higher credit tiers. The overall decrease in consumer loan balances was partially offset by an increase of $9.9 million in balances of home equity loans and lines, partially due to the Corporation's promotional efforts during 2025. Cash and cash equivalents increased largely due to proceeds of $227.3 million from the Corporation's sale of available for sale securities in the second quarter of 2025. Additionally, proceeds from the Corporation's issuance of subordinated debt in the second quarter of 2025 also contributed to the increase in cash and cash equivalents balances. The Corporation utilized a portion of these proceeds to pay off wholesale funding which matured early in the third quarter of 2025 and fund loan growth totaling 8.4% on an annualized basis, which served as the primary offsets to the increase in total cash and cash equivalents compared to prior year-end. Total liabilities were $2.451 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $2.561 billion as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of $109.5 million, or 4.3%. Similar to the decrease in total assets, this decrease was driven by the Corporation's balance sheet repositioning efforts during 2025. Advances and other debt decreased $109.4 million and total deposits decreased $38.4 million, while subordinated debt, net of deferred issuance costs, increased $44.0 million, each compared to December 31, 2024. Advances and other debt decreased primarily due to the payoff of all the Corporation's wholesale funding obligations during the third quarter of 2025, which included FHLBNY term advances. Additionally, prior to their payoff, the Corporation shifted its wholesale funding mix toward short-term brokered deposits, decreasing total advances and other debt. Advances and other debt as of September 30, 2025 was comprised exclusively of finance lease liabilities totaling $3.5 million, while the composition of advances and other debt as of prior year-end was largely comprised of FHLBNY overnight advances. Total deposits decreased $38.4 million, or 1.6%, compared to the prior year-end, largely due to a decrease in brokered deposits of $92.2 million, partially offset by an increase of $53.8 million in total customer deposits, each compared to prior year-end. The decrease in brokered deposits represents the payoff of all outstanding brokered deposits at maturity in the third quarter of 2025 using proceeds from the Corporation's sale of available for sale securities and issuance of subordinated debt. The increase in total customer deposits was attributable to increases of $57.2 million in money market deposits, $49.7 million in interest-bearing demand deposits, and $7.5 million in non-interest bearing demand deposits, partially offset by decreases of $46.9 million in customer time deposits and $13.6 million in savings deposits. Both the increases in money market deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits were mainly attributable to seasonal inflows of municipal deposits, as well as net inflows of commercial client deposits compared to prior year-end. The increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits was primarily due to net inflows from both individuals and commercial clients compared to prior year-end. Non interest-bearing deposits comprised 26.8% and 26.1% of total deposits as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, largely the result of a decrease in brokered deposits compared to prior year-end. The decrease in customer time deposits was largely due to maturities of previous CD campaign offerings which were not renewed. In 2025, the Corporation has focused on shorter-duration CD campaigns and has reduced interest rates on campaign offerings since prior year-end. The Corporation's reliance on growth in time deposit balances to fund asset growth declined year-to-date during 2025 as a result of strengthened liquidity from the net proceeds of the Corporation's balance sheet repositioning, as well as increases in other deposit account types. Subordinated debt, net of deferred issuance costs, increased due to the issuance of $45.0 million in 7.75% fixed-to-floating rate notes in June 2025 in a private offering. There were $1.0 million in deferred issuance costs associated with the offering. The subordinated debt qualifies as tier 2 capital at the holding company and tier 1 capital at the Bank. Of the $45.0 million in subordinated debt issued, $37.0 million was downstreamed to the Bank, qualifying as tier 1 capital. The notes carry an original term of ten years and are redeemable by the Corporation beginning in June 2030, and beginning in June 2030 will float based on the then current Three-Month Term SOFR, plus 415 basis points. Further details regarding the offering can be found in the Corporation's Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2025. Total shareholders’ equity was $245.3 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $215.3 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $30.0 million, or 13.9%, driven by a decrease of $26.0 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss and an increase of $2.7 million in retained earnings. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was largely due to the reclassification of a portion of losses attributable to the available for sale securities portfolio into current period earnings, due to the Corporation's sale of available for sale securities in the second quarter of 2025, as well as an increase in the fair value of securities available for sale, primarily due to favorable changes in market interest rates. The increase in retained earnings was mainly due to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, totaling $7.4 million, which is inclusive of a $13.2 million loss on the sale of available for sale securities in the second quarter of 2025, net of tax impacts, partially offset by dividends declared of $4.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The total equity to total assets ratio was 9.10% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 7.76% as of December 31, 2024, and the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.36% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 7.02% as of December 31, 2024.1 Book value per share and tangible book value per share increased to $50.98 and $46.44, respectively, as of September 30, 2025, from $45.13 and $40.55, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.1 The Corporation's sale of securities available for sale did not impact book value per share or tangible book value per share. As of September 30, 2025, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those required to be considered well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. 1 See the GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations Liquidity The Corporation uses a variety of resources to manage its liquidity, and management believes it has the necessary liquidity to allow for flexibility in meeting its various operational and strategic needs. These include short-term investments, cash flow from lending and investing activities, core-deposit growth, and non-core funding sources, such as time deposits of $250,000 or greater, brokered deposits, FHLBNY overnight and term advances, and FRB advances. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis for liquidity purposes or on a long-term basis to fund asset growth. As of September 30, 2025, the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents balance was $107.6 million, largely consisting of remaining proceeds from the Corporation's sale of a portion of its available for sale securities portfolio and subordinated debt issuance in the second quarter of 2025. The Corporation continues to maintain an investment portfolio of securities available for sale, consisting of government-sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, and corporate bonds. Although this portfolio generates interest income for the Corporation, it also serves as an available source of liquidity and capital if needed. As of September 30, 2025, the Corporation's investment in securities available for sale was $280.5 million, $68.4 million of which was not pledged as collateral. Additionally, as of September 30, 2025, the Bank's total advance line capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York was $169.7 million, all of which was available as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, uninsured deposits totaled $740.4 million, or 31.4% of total deposits, including $204.9 million of municipal deposits collateralized by pledged assets, when required. As of December 31, 2024, uninsured deposits totaled $652.3 million, or 27.2% of total deposits, including $145.6 million of municipal deposits collateralized by pledged assets, when required. Due to their fluidity, the Corporation closely monitors uninsured deposit levels when considering liquidity management strategies. The Corporation had no outstanding brokered deposits as of September 30, 2025, following the maturity of $100.0 million in early July 2025. As part of its strategic balance sheet repositioning, the Corporation did not replace the brokered deposits, reflecting its efforts to reduce reliance on higher cost wholesale funding sources. The Corporation may use brokered deposits in the future either as a secondary source in funding asset growth or as an additional source of liquidity in supporting ongoing operations. Other Items The market value of total assets under management or administration in our Wealth Management Group was $2.393 billion as of September 30, 2025, including $335.2 million of assets under management or administration for the Corporation, compared to $2.212 billion as of December 31, 2024, including $301.9 million of assets under management or administration for the Corporation, an increase of $180.6 million, or 8.1%. Excluding assets under management or administration for the Corporation, total market value of Wealth Management Group assets increased $147.3 million, or 7.9%, largely due to improvements in financial markets during 2025. As previously announced on January 8, 2021, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. Under the repurchase program, the Corporation may repurchase up to 250,000 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of its then outstanding shares. The repurchase program permits shares to be repurchased in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of September 30, 2025, a total of 49,184 shares of common stock at a total cost of $2.0 million were repurchased by the Corporation under its share repurchase program. No shares were repurchased in the third quarter of 2025. The weighted average cost was $40.42 per share repurchased. Remaining buyback authority under the share repurchase program was 200,816 shares as of September 30, 2025.

Chemung Financial Corporation GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations (Unaudited) The Corporation prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. See the Corporation’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets and statements of income contained within this press release. That presentation provides the reader with an understanding of the Corporation’s results that can be tracked consistently from period-to-period and enables a comparison of the Corporation’s performance with other companies’ GAAP financial statements. In addition to analyzing the Corporation’s results on a reported basis, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, because it believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors about the underlying operational performance and trends of the Corporation and, therefore, facilitate a comparison of the Corporation with the performance of other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The SEC has adopted Regulation G, which applies to all public disclosures, including earnings releases, made by registered companies that contain “non-GAAP financial measures.” Under Regulation G, companies making public disclosures containing non-GAAP financial measures must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure and a statement of the Corporation’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure as part of its financial disclosures. The SEC has exempted from the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. When these exempted measures are included in public disclosures, supplemental information is not required. The following measures used in this Report, which are commonly utilized by financial institutions, have not been specifically exempted by the SEC and may constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of the SEC's rules, although we are unable to state with certainty that the SEC would so regard them. Fully Taxable Equivalent Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Net interest income is commonly presented on a tax-equivalent basis. That is, to the extent that some component of the institution's net interest income, which is presented on a before-tax basis, is exempt from taxation (e.g., is received by the institution as a result of its holdings of state or municipal obligations), an amount equal to the tax benefit derived from that component is added to the actual before-tax net interest income total. This adjustment is considered helpful in comparing one financial institution's net interest income to that of other institutions or in analyzing any institution’s net interest income trend line over time, to correct any analytical distortion that might otherwise arise from the fact that financial institutions vary widely in the proportions of their portfolios that are invested in tax-exempt securities, and that even a single institution may significantly alter over time the proportion of its own portfolio that is invested in tax-exempt obligations. Moreover, net interest income is itself a component of a second financial measure commonly used by financial institutions, net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. For purposes of this measure as well, fully taxable equivalent net interest income is generally used by financial institutions, as opposed to actual net interest income, again to provide a better basis of comparison from institution to institution and to better demonstrate a single institution’s performance over time. The Corporation follows these practices.

The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure which represents the Corporation’s ability to turn resources into revenue and is calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue (fully taxable equivalent net interest income and non-interest income), adjusted for one-time occurrences and amortization. This measure is meaningful to the Corporation, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Corporation’s productivity measured by the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.
