The Company will selectively explore Commercial Real Estate opportunities with an emphasis on relationship based Commercial Real Estate lending.Asset Quality: At March 31, 2025, the Bank’s asset quality improved with non-performing loans decreasing 28.5% to $11.7 million, representing 0.60% of the total loan portfolio, while the allowance for credit losses increased to 1.17% of total loans.Tangible Book Value Per Share: Tangible book value per share (including Series A preferred shares) was $23.62 at March 31, 2025 (inclusive of one-time core system conversion expenses of $2.6 million, net of tax, or $0.34 per share) compared to $23.86 at December 31, 2024.Technology & Rebranding: The Company completed its core processing system conversion to FIS Horizon in February 2025.

MINEOLA, N.Y., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hanover Bancorp, Inc. (“Hanover” or “the Company” – NASDAQ: HNVR), the holding company for Hanover Community Bank (“the Bank”), today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the declaration of a $0.10 per share cash dividend on both common and Series A preferred shares payable on May 14, 2025 to stockholders of record on May 7, 2025. Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 The Company reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 of $1.5 million or $0.20 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) in the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The Company recorded adjusted (non-GAAP) net income (excluding core system conversion expenses of $2.6 million, net of tax) of $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, versus net income of $4.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share in the comparable 2024 quarter (which included no adjustments). Returns on average assets, average stockholders’ equity and average tangible equity were 0.27%, 3.11% and 3.45%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, versus 0.74%, 8.70% and 9.71%, respectively, for the comparable quarter of 2024. Adjusted (non-GAAP) returns, exclusive of core system conversion expenses on average assets, average stockholders’ equity and average tangible equity were 0.73%, 8.36% and 9.27%, respectively, in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, versus 0.74%, 8.70% and 9.71%, respectively, in the comparable quarter of 2024. While net interest income and non-interest income increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, these were partially offset by increases in provision for credit losses and non-interest expenses, particularly compensation and benefits and the one-time core system conversion expenses. The increase in compensation and benefits expense in the first quarter of 2025 versus the comparable 2024 quarter was primarily related to lower deferred loan origination costs partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense resulting from reduced lending activity. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 13.8% in the first quarter of 2025 from 24.9% both in the linked quarter and the comparable 2024 quarter due to the tax impact of the windfall benefit from expiring stock options that were exercised and vested restricted stock. We expect a normalized run rate of 25.0% for the remainder of the year. Net interest income was $14.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $1.7 million, or 13.10% from the comparable 2024 quarter due to improvement of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.68% in the 2025 quarter from 2.41% in the comparable 2024 quarter. The yield on interest earning assets decreased to 6.01% in the 2025 quarter from 6.03% in the comparable 2024 quarter, a decrease of 2 basis points that was partially offset by a 32 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 4.01% in 2025 from 4.33% in the first quarter of 2024. Net interest income on a linked quarter basis increased $0.8 million or 5.95%, due to a 15 basis point increase in net interest margin resulting from a 23 basis point decrease in cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 5 basis point decrease on yield on interest earning assets. The increase in the net interest margin was a result of the late 2024 reductions in the Fed Funds effective rate and the liability sensitive nature of the Bank’s balance sheet. Michael P. Puorro, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Company’s quarterly results: “We are pleased with our first quarter performance which reflected sizable improvements in Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin that drove stronger adjusted ROTE and ROA for the period. Specifically, NII increased from $13.8 million to $14.6 million and NIM from 2.53% to 2.68%, resulting in adjusted ROTE of 9.27% and ROA of 0.73%, confirming a trend away from the restrictive environment of the last couple of years. Building on this positive momentum were improved credit metrics and the completion of our core banking system conversion, a significant achievement that is expected to deliver tangible operational efficiencies and customer benefits while enhancing our commitment to digital banking. In addition to the core banking system conversion, we recently announced our new logo which is representative of our focus on innovation and a digital forward strategy. Moving forward, we remain committed to disciplined development of our core business verticals which include niche residential, SBA and C&I lending. Further, we look forward to a more favorable banking environment and the upcoming potential qualification for the Russell 2000, which should increase institutional ownership and enhance the liquidity of our stock.” Balance Sheet Highlights Total assets at March 31, 2025 were $2.29 billion versus $2.31 billion at December 31, 2024. Total securities available for sale at March 31, 2025 were $93.2 million, an increase of $9.4 million from December 31, 2024, primarily driven by growth in collateralized mortgage obligations, collateralized loan obligations and corporate bonds. Total deposits at March 31, 2025 were $1.94 billion, a decrease of $17.8 million or 0.91%, compared to $1.95 billion at December 31, 2024. Total deposits increased $19.2 million or 1.00% from March 31, 2024. Demand deposits increased $12.6 million or 6.23% from March 31, 2024. Our loan to deposit ratio improved to 101% at March 31, 2025 from 102% at December 31, 2024. The Company had $517.1 million in total municipal deposits at March 31, 2025, at a weighted average rate of 3.71% versus $509.3 million at a weighted average rate of 3.72% at December 31, 2024 and $576.3 million at a weighted average rate of 4.65% at March 31, 2024. The Company’s municipal deposit program is built on long-standing relationships developed in the local marketplace. This core deposit business will continue to provide a stable source of funding for the Company’s lending products at costs lower than those of consumer deposits and market-based borrowings. The Company continues to broaden its municipal deposit base and currently services 40 customer relationships. Total borrowings at March 31, 2025 were $107.8 million, with a weighted average rate and term of 4.11% and 20 months, respectively. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $107.8 million of term FHLB advances outstanding. The Company had no FHLB overnight borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under lines of credit with correspondent banks at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Stockholders’ equity was $196.6 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Retained earnings increased by $0.8 million due primarily to net income of $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which was offset by $0.7 million of dividends declared. The accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2025 was 0.71% of total equity and was comprised of a $0.9 million after tax net unrealized loss on the investment portfolio and a $0.5 million after tax net unrealized loss on derivatives. Tangible book value per share (including Series A preferred shares) was $23.62 at March 31, 2025 (inclusive of one-time core system conversion expenses of $2.6 million, net of tax, or $0.34 per share) compared to $23.86 at December 31, 2024. Loan Portfolio For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Bank’s loan portfolio decreased $24.9 million to $1.96 billion from December 31, 2024. The decrease resulted primarily from the ongoing management of our commercial real estate and multifamily loan concentrations. At March 31, 2025, the Company’s residential loan portfolio (including home equity) amounted to $733.6 million, with an average loan balance of $486 thousand and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 57%. Commercial real estate (including construction) and multifamily loans totaled $1.06 billion at March 31, 2025, with an average loan balance of $1.5 million and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 59%. As will be discussed below, approximately 37% of the multifamily portfolio is subject to rent regulation. The Company’s commercial real estate concentration ratio continues to improve, decreasing to 369% of capital at March 31, 2025 from 385% at December 31, 2024 and 416% at March 31, 2024, with loans secured by office space accounting for 2.23% of the total loan portfolio and totaling $43.8 million at March 31, 2025. The Company’s loan pipeline with executed term sheets at March 31, 2025 is approximately $255.0 million, with approximately 92% being niche-residential, conventional C&I and SBA lending opportunities. The Bank remains focused on expanding its core verticals and continues to originate loans for its portfolio and for sale in the secondary market under its residential flow origination program. Of the $48.8 million in closed residential loans originated in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, $27.6 million were originated for the Bank’s portfolio and reflected a weighted average yield of 6.64% before origination and other fees, which average 50-100 bps per loan, and a weighted average LTV of 58%. The remaining $21.2 million of closed loans were originated for sale in the secondary market. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold $18.3 million of residential loans under its flow origination program and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $0.4 million with a premium of 2.38%. During the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company sold approximately $23.4 million and $26.7 million, respectively, in government guaranteed SBA loans and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. SBA loan originations and gains on sale were lower due to a combination of factors, including: lower than expected loan sale premiums due, we believe, to first quarter market turmoil; delays in loan closings resulting from the impact of administrative changes to SBA Standard Operating Procedures; and the inability of certain loans to close because of delays by state regulatory agencies in issuing permit approvals to certain borrowers. As we enter the second quarter of 2025, we expect to navigate these factors and to increase the volume of origination and loan sale activity throughout the year. The Bank concluded the first quarter of 2025 with C&I loan originations of approximately $16.8 million. Based on its existing pipeline, the Bank expects C&I lending and deposit activity to grow as the year progresses. Commercial Real Estate Statistics A significant portion of the Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio consists of loans secured by Multi-Family and CRE-Investor owned real estate that are predominantly subject to fixed interest rates for an initial period of 5 years. The Bank’s exposure to Land/Construction loans is minor at $8.0 million, all at floating interest rates. As shown below, 31% of the loan balances in these combined portfolios will either have a rate reset or mature in 2025 and 2026, with another 56% with rate resets or maturing in 2027.

The pool has a 2.32x weighted average DSCR, a 53% weighted average LTV and less than $353,000 of exposure in Manhattan. Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses At March 31, 2025, the Bank’s asset quality metrics improved with non-performing loans totaling $11.7 million compared to non-performing loans of $16.4 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $4.7 million. This decrease resulted primarily from the contracted sale of non-performing loans totaling $5.0 million, net of a $0.3 million charge-off, during the quarter. At March 31, 2025 non-performing loans were 0.60% of total loans outstanding versus 0.82% at December 31, 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses expense of $0.6 million. The March 31, 2025 allowance for credit losses was $22.9 million versus $22.8 million at December 31, 2024.

Net Interest Margin The Bank’s net interest margin increased to 2.68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2.53% in the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and 2.41% in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 due to the recent reductions in the Fed Funds effective rate and the liability sensitive nature of the Bank’s balance sheet.
