What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Orange County Bancorp reported Q3 2026 net income of $12.5 million, or $0.93 per share, up from $10.0 million ($0.75) a year earlier. The improvement stemmed from higher net interest income due to deposit growth and lower borrowing costs, with a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by weaker noninterest income from the prior-year BOLI recognition. For the nine months ended Sep 30, 2026, net income was $37.4 million ($2.80 per share), vs. $29.2 million ($2.39) in 2025, underscoring accelerating earnings.
