MINEOLA, N.Y., July 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 June 30, 2025 and the declaration of a $0.10 per share cash dividend on both common and Series A preferred shares payable on August 13, 2025 to stockholders of record on August 6, 2025. Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2025 The Company reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 of $2.4 million or $0.33 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $0.8 million (after giving effect to an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) on an individually evaluated loan of $2.5 million and a $1.1 million provision resulting from ongoing enhancements to the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) or $0.11 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) in the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Returns on average assets, average stockholders’ equity and average tangible equity were 0.44%, 4.93% and 5.46%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, versus 0.15%, 1.77% and 1.97%, respectively, for the comparable quarter of 2024. The increase in net income recorded in the second quarter of 2025 from the comparable 2024 quarter resulted from an increase in net interest income and a decrease in provision for credit losses. These were partially offset by the increase in non-interest expenses, particularly compensation and benefits, and an increase in income tax expense. The increase in compensation and benefits expense in the second quarter of 2025 versus the comparable 2024 quarter was primarily related to the staffing of the newly opened Port Jefferson branch and additions to the C&I Banking teams, partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense resulting from reduced lending activity and other expense reduction initiatives. The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.8% in the second quarter of 2025 and 27.2% in the comparable 2024 quarter. We expect a normalized run rate of 25.0% for the remainder of the year. Net interest income was $14.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.5 million, or 11.69% from the comparable 2024 quarter. This increase was due to improvement of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.76% in the 2025 quarter from 2.46% in the comparable 2024 quarter. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 3.94% in the 2025 quarter from 4.48% in the comparable 2024 quarter, a decrease of 54 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by a 24 basis point decrease in the yield on interest earning assets to 5.98% in the 2025 quarter from 6.22% in the second quarter of 2024. Net interest income on a linked quarter basis increased $0.2 million or 1.13%, due to an 8 basis point increase in net interest margin resulting from a 7 basis point decrease in cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 3 basis point decrease on yield on interest earning assets. Earnings Summary for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $4.0 million or $0.53 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares), versus $4.9 million or $0.66 per diluted share (including Series A preferred shares) in the comparable 2024 six-month period. The Company recorded adjusted (non-GAAP) net income (excluding core system conversion expenses of $2.6 million, net of tax) of $6.5 million or $0.87 per diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2025, versus net income of $4.9 million or $0.66 per diluted share in the comparable 2024 six-month period (which included no adjustments). Returns on average assets, average stockholders’ equity and average tangible equity were 0.36%, 4.02% and 4.46%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, versus 0.44%, 5.20% and 5.80%, respectively, for the comparable 2024 period. Adjusted (non-GAAP) returns, exclusive of core system conversion expenses on average assets, average stockholders’ equity and average tangible equity were 0.59%, 6.63% and 7.35%, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2025, versus 0.44%, 5.20% and 5.80%, respectively, in the comparable of 2024 period. The decrease in net income recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable 2024 period is due to an increase in non-interest expenses, particularly compensation and benefits and the one-time core system conversion expenses. These were partially offset by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in provision for credit losses. The increase in compensation and benefits expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the comparable 2024 period was primarily related to additional headcount to staff the new Port Jefferson branch and expansion of the C&I lending vertical and 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 23.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 25.3% in the comparable 2024 period. Net interest income was $29.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $3.2 million, or 12.38% from the comparable 2024 period, due to the improvement of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.72% in the 2025 period from 2.43% in the comparable 2024 period. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 3.98% in the 2025 six months period from 4.41% in the comparable 2024 period, a decrease of 43 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by a 13 basis point decrease in the yield on interest earning assets to 5.99% in the 2025 period from 6.12% in the comparable 2024 period. 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: “Our second quarter performance, reflects a number of high notes, including increased Pre-Provision Net Revenue of $5.7 million, strong non-interest bearing deposit growth of $28.1 million, underscoring the success of our C&I and Municipal banking verticals, and continued improvement in our Net Interest Margin. We are extremely pleased with the recent opening of our Port Jefferson branch and will continue to be opportunistic in furthering our expansion into the underserved markets of Eastern Long Island. With our inclusion in the Russell 2000, the continued development of our diversified revenue verticals and liability sensitive balance sheet, we look forward to delivering continued shareholder value and the eventual benefits of a more favorable interest rate environment.” Balance Sheet Highlights Total assets were $2.31 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Total securities available for sale at June 30, 2025 were $102.6 million, an increase of $18.9 million from December 31, 2024, primarily driven by growth in collateralized mortgage obligations, collateralized loan obligations and corporate bonds. Total deposits were $1.95 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Total deposits increased $9.4 million or 0.48% from June 30, 2024. Demand deposits increased $43.8 million or 21.93% from June 30, 2024 and $32.0 million, or 15.12%, from December 31, 2024 underscoring the success of our C&I and Municipal banking verticals. Our loan to deposit ratio improved to 101% at June 30, 2025 from 102% at December 31, 2024. The Company had $517.4 million in total municipal deposits at June 30, 2025, at a weighted average rate of 3.67% versus $509.3 million at a weighted average rate of 3.72% at December 31, 2024 and $452.6 million at a weighted average rate of 4.61% at June 30, 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 June 30, 2025 were $107.8 million, with a weighted average rate and term of 4.11% and 17 months, respectively. At June 30, 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under lines of credit with correspondent banks at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Stockholders’ equity was $198.9 million at June 30, 2025 and compared to $196.6 million at December 31, 2024. Retained earnings increased by $2.5 million due primarily to net income of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was offset by $1.5 million of dividends declared. The accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2025 was 0.62% of total equity and was comprised of a $0.7 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 $23.94 at June 30, 2025 compared to $23.86 at December 31, 2024. Loan Portfolio For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Bank’s loan portfolio decreased $19.1 million to $1.97 billion from December 31, 2024. The decrease resulted primarily from the ongoing management of our commercial real estate and multifamily loan concentrations. On a linked quarter basis, net loans increased $5.8 million. At June 30, 2025, the Company’s residential loan portfolio (including home equity) amounted to $738.8 million, with an average loan balance of $489 thousand and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 57%. Commercial real estate (including construction) and multifamily loans totaled $1.08 billion at June 30, 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 36% of the multifamily portfolio is subject to rent regulation. The Company’s commercial real estate concentration ratio continues to improve, decreasing to 368% of capital at June 30, 2025 from 385% at December 31, 2024 and 403% at June 30, 2024, with loans secured by office space accounting for 2.48% of the total loan portfolio and totaling $48.9 million at June 30, 2025. The Company’s loan pipeline with executed term sheets at June 30, 2025 is approximately $190.2 million, with approximately 81% being niche-residential, conventional C&I, SBA and USDA 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. The Bank originated $62.2 million in residential loans in the quarter ended June 30, 2025. During the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company sold $23.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of residential loans under its flow origination program and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively. During the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company sold approximately $22.3 million and $28.0 million, respectively, in government guaranteed SBA loans and recorded gains on sale of loans held-for-sale of $1.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively. SBA loan originations and gains on sale were lower than expected due to a confluence of factors. One factor is the impact of the “higher-for-longer” interest rate environment that we believe has both worsened the financial condition of and reduced demand among small business borrowers, resulting in a lower volume of creditworthy customers. Another factor is the negative impact of and uncertainty created by tariffs, which we believe have also dampened loan demand among borrowers in certain industries. A third factor is the Bank’s decision to tighten credit over the course of the last year. Although management continues to believe this to be a prudent measure, it has nonetheless resulted in a lower volume of loan approvals, causing the Bank to re-evaluate the number and caliber of its business development officers. Taken together these and other factors have adversely impacted SBA loan originations and closings. With the addition of additional business development officers in the second half of 2025, we anticipate higher volumes of eligible loans as we transition into 2026. The Bank concluded the second quarter of 2025 with C&I loan originations of approximately $29.3 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 $8.2 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 57% with rate resets or maturing in 2027.

The current balance for these loans is recast at 6% with a 30-year amortization. The chart below reflects the impact of these adjustments on the portfolio. The projected loan to value (“LTV”) assumption resets all loans using a 6% cap rate and the last reported property net operating income (“NOI”) to determine an implied property valuation and based on the current loan balance the resultant LTV.

Additionally, approximately 97% or 89 loans totaling $178 million would possess DSCR’s greater than 1x while maintaining a projected weighted average LTV well within our policy guidelines. We believe the overall demand for multifamily housing in our market will allow our borrowers to address any adverse impact proactively, as evidenced by the maturities and rate resets in the previous 12 months which have been successfully refinanced with other institutions at market rates similar to those used in the above analysis. Rental breakdown of Multi-Family portfolio The table below segments our portfolio of loans secured by Multi-Family properties based on rental terms and location. As shown below, 64% of the combined portfolio is secured by properties subject to free market rental terms, which is the dominant tenant type. Both the Market Rent and Stabilized Rent segments of our portfolio present very similar average borrower profiles. The portfolio is primarily located in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens.

Loans secured by office space accounted for 2.48% of the total loan portfolio with a total balance of $48.9 million, of which less than 1% is located in Manhattan. The pool has a 2.48x weighted average DSCR, a 53% weighted average LTV and less than $350,000 of exposure in Manhattan. Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses The Bank’s asset quality metrics remain solid. At June 30, 2025, the Bank reported $12.7 million in non-performing loans compared to $16.4 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $3.7 million. This decrease resulted primarily from the proactive sale of non-performing loans, satisfactions and the charge-off of a specific reserve established in June 2024 on an individually evaluated commercial loan. At June 30, 2025 non-performing loans were 0.64% of total loans outstanding versus 0.82% at December 31, 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses expense of $2.4 million (including $187 thousand provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments). Net charge-offs of $3.5 million were incurred during the quarter, of which $2.5 million is attributable to the aforementioned charge-off of a specific reserve on an individually evaluated commercial loan. The June 30, 2025 allowance for credit losses was $21.6 million versus $22.8 million at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.10% at June 30, 2025 and 1.15% at December 31, 2024. Net Interest Margin The Bank’s net interest margin increased to 2.76% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to 2.68% in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and 2.46% in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 due to the continuing effects of the late 2024 reductions in the Federal Funds effective rate and the liability sensitive nature of the Bank’s balance sheet.
