Greene County Bancorp, Inc.
At and for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
(1) Basis of Presentation
Within the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of financial condition, and related notes to the consolidated financial statements, June 30, 2021 data was
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, The Bank of Greene County (the “Bank”) and Greene Risk Management, Inc., and the Bank’s wholly owned
subsidiaries, Greene County Commercial Bank and Greene Property Holdings, Ltd. The consolidated financial statements at and for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. To the extent that information
and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements are contained in or are consistent with the audited financial statements incorporated by reference to Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June
30, 2021, such information and notes have not been duplicated herein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations
and cash flows at and for the periods presented have been included. The Company had no material reclassifications from amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. All material
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The results of operations and other data for the three months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. These consolidated financial statements consider events that occurred through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s critical accounting policies relate to the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s estimation
of an amount that is intended to absorb losses in the existing portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, the
composition of the portfolio, specific impaired loans and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the
estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, management’s estimate of probable credit losses and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for the
allowance of loan losses. However, this evaluation involves a high degree of complexity and requires management to make subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. This critical accounting
policy and its application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
(2) Nature of Operations
Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s primary business is the ownership and operation of its subsidiaries, The Bank of Greene County and Greene Risk Management, Inc. The
Bank of Greene County has 17 full-service offices and an operations center and lending center located in its market area within the
Hudson Valley and Capital District Regions of New York State. The Bank of Greene County is primarily engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public in The Bank of Greene County’s market area, and investing such deposits,
together with other sources of funds, in loans and investment securities. Greene County Commercial Bank’s primary business is to attract deposits from, and provide banking services to, local municipalities. Greene Property Holdings, Ltd. was
formed as a New York corporation that has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be a real estate investment trust. Currently, certain mortgages and loan notes held by The Bank of Greene County are transferred and beneficially owned by Greene
Property Holdings, Ltd. The Bank of Greene County continues to service these loans. Greene Risk Management, Inc. was formed in December 2014 as a pooled captive insurance company subsidiary of Greene County Bancorp, Inc., incorporated in the
State of Nevada. The purpose of this company is to provide additional insurance coverage for the Company and its subsidiaries related to the operations of the Company for which insurance may not be economically feasible.
(3) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the
assessment of other-than-temporary security impairment.
While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses (the “Allowance”) may be necessary, based
on changes in economic conditions, asset quality or other factors. In addition, various regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Allowance. Such authorities may require the Company to
recognize additions to the Allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.
Greene County Bancorp, Inc. makes an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security on which there
is an unrealized loss is impaired on an other-than-temporary basis. The Company considers many factors including the severity and duration of the impairment; the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time
sufficient for a recovery in value; recent events specific to the issuer or industry; and for debt securities, intent to sell the security, whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery, whether loss
is expected, external credit ratings and recent downgrades. Securities on which there is an unrealized loss that is deemed to be other-than-temporary are written down to fair value through earnings.

Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s current policies generally limit securities investments to U.S. Government and securities of government sponsored enterprises, federal
funds sold, municipal bonds, corporate debt obligations, subordinated debt of banks and certain mutual funds. In addition, the Company’s policies permit investments in mortgage-backed securities, including securities issued and guaranteed by
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and GNMA, and collateralized mortgage obligations issued by these entities. At September 30, 2021, all mortgage-backed securities including collateralized mortgage obligations were securities of government sponsored
enterprises, no private-label mortgage-backed securities or collateralized mortgage obligations were held in the securities portfolio. The Company’s investments in state and political subdivisions securities
generally are municipal obligations that are general obligations supported by the general taxing authority of the issuer, and in some cases are insured. The obligations issued by school districts are supported by state aid. Primarily, these
investments are issued by municipalities within New York State.
The Company’s current securities investment strategy utilizes a risk management approach of diversified investing among three categories: short-, intermediate- and long-term. The emphasis of this approach is to increase overall investment securities yields while managing interest rate risk.
The Company will only invest in high quality securities as determined by management’s analysis at the time of purchase. The Company generally does not engage in any derivative or hedging transactions, such as interest rate swaps or caps.

When the fair value of a held-to-maturity or available-for-sale security is less than its amortized cost basis, an assessment is made as to whether
other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is present. The Company considers numerous factors when determining whether a potential OTTI exists and the period over which the debt security is expected to recover. The principal factors considered are
(1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, (2) the financial condition of the issuer (and guarantor, if any) and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry or
geographic area, (3) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, (4) any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and (5) the presence of credit enhancements, if any, including the
guarantee of the federal government or any of its agencies.
For debt securities, OTTI is considered to have occurred if (1) the Company intends to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, (2) it is more
likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (3) if the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. In determining the
present value of expected cash flows, the Company discounts the expected cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition. In estimating cash flows expected to be collected, the Company uses available
information with respect to security prepayment speeds, default rates and severity. In determining whether OTTI has occurred for equity securities, the Company considers the applicable factors described above and the intent and ability of the
Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
For debt securities, credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings while noncredit-related OTTI on securities not expected to be sold is recognized in other
comprehensive income/loss (“OCI”). Credit-related OTTI is measured as the difference between the present value of an impaired security’s expected cash flows and its amortized cost basis. Noncredit-related OTTI is measured as the difference
between the fair value of the security and its amortized cost less any credit-related losses recognized. For securities classified as held-to-maturity, the amount of OTTI recognized in OCI is accreted to the credit-adjusted expected cash flow
amounts of the securities over future periods. For equity securities, the entire amount of OTTI is recognized in earnings. Management evaluated securities considering the factors as outlined above, and based on this evaluation the Company does
not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2021.

The estimated fair values of debt securities at September 30, 2021, by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual
maturities, because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

At September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively, securities with an aggregate fair value of $938.5 million and $892.1 million were pledged as collateral for
deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits for various municipalities placing deposits with Greene County Commercial Bank. At September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, securities with an aggregate fair value of $3.9
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This
stock is restricted in that it can only be sold to the FHLB or to another member institution, and all sales of FHLB stock must be at par. As a result of these restrictions, FHLB stock is carried at cost. FHLB stock is held as a long-term
investment and its value is determined based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. Impairment of this investment is evaluated quarterly and is a matter of judgment that reflects management’s view of the FHLB’s long-term performance,
which includes factors such as the following: its operating performance; the severity and duration of declines in the fair value of its net assets related to its capital stock amount; its commitment to make payments required by law or regulation
and the level of such payments in relation to its operating performance; the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the FHLB, and accordingly, on the members of the FHLB; and its liquidity and funding position. After evaluating these
considerations, Greene County Bancorp, Inc. concluded that the par value of its investment in FHLB stock will be recovered and, therefore, no

The Bank of Greene County continues working with borrowers through the current pandemic. The Company instituted a loan deferment program in response to the COVID-19
pandemic whereby deferral of principal payments or principal and interest payments have been provided and correspond to the length of the National Emergency as defined under the CARES Act and extended under the Consolidated Appropriations Act
which was signed into law on December 27, 2020.
Under Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), loans less than 30 days past due as of March 31, 2020 will be
considered current for COVID-19 modifications. Provisions under Section 4013 of the CARES Act were extended as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act signed into law on December 27, 2020. A financial institution can suspend the requirements
under GAAP for loan modifications related to COVID-19 that would otherwise be categorized as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), and suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of COVID-19 as being a TDR, including the requirement
to determine impairment for accounting purposes. Financial institutions wishing to utilize this authority must make a policy election, which applies to any COVID-19 modification made between March 1,
2020 and the earlier of either January 1, 2022 or the 60th day after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. Similarly, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has confirmed that short-term modifications made on a good-faith basis in
response to COVID-19 to loan customers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. Lastly, prior to the enactment of the CARES Act, the banking regulatory agencies provided guidance as to how certain short-term modifications would not be
considered TDRs, and have subsequently confirmed that such guidance could be applicable for loans that do not qualify for favorable accounting treatment under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. The Company has worked with customers following the
guidance and standards set forth in the various federal and state laws and regulatory guidance issued in response to the global pandemic.
The CARES Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act also provided over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). An eligible business could apply for a PPP loan
up to the greater of: (1) 2.5 times its average monthly “payroll costs”; or (2) $10.0 million. PPP loans have: (a) an interest rate of 1.0%, (b) a 2-5 year loan term to maturity, and (c) principal and interest payments deferred for six months
from the date of disbursement. The Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”) was signed into law on December 27, 2020. The CAA, extended the life of the PPP, creating a
second round of PPP loans for eligible businesses. The Company participated in the CAA’s second round of PPP lending. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s
PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be reduced by the loan forgiveness amount under the PPP so long as employee and compensation levels of the business are maintained and at least 60% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll
expenses, with the remaining 40%, or less, of the loan proceeds used for other qualifying expenses. The Company had 407 remaining PPP
loans with a total balance of $37.4 million outstanding at September 30, 2021, compared to 835 PPP loans with a total balance of $67.4 million outstanding
at June 30, 2021. The Company received fees from the SBA for originating these loans. These fees have been deferred and will be recognized in income on a level-yield basis as the loans are repaid or forgiven by the SBA. As of the quarter ended
September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $1.5 million and $16,000 in fee income, respectively.
Management closely monitors the quality of the loan portfolio and has established a loan review process designed to help grade the quality and profitability of the
Company’s loan portfolio. The credit quality grade helps management make a consistent assessment of each loan relationship’s credit risk. Consistent with regulatory guidelines, The Bank of Greene County provides for the classification of loans
considered being of lesser quality. Such ratings coincide with the “Substandard,” “Doubtful” and “Loss” classifications used by federal regulators in their examination of financial institutions. Generally, an asset is considered Substandard if
it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured financial institution will
sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in assets classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in
full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable. Assets classified as Loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a full loss
reserve and/or charge-off is not warranted. Assets that do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but otherwise possess weaknesses are designated “Special Mention.”
When The Bank of Greene County
classifies problem assets as either Substandard or Doubtful, it generally establishes a specific valuation allowance or “loss reserve” in an amount deemed prudent by management. General allowances represent loss allowances that have been
established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular loans. When The Bank of Greene County identifies problem loans as being impaired, it is
required to evaluate whether the Bank will be able to collect all amounts due either through repayments or the liquidation of the underlying collateral. If it is determined that impairment exists, the Bank is required either to establish a
specific allowance for losses equal to the amount of impairment of the assets, or to charge-off such amount. The Bank of Greene County’s determination as to the classification of its loans and the amount of its valuation allowance is subject to
review by its regulatory agencies, which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. The Bank of Greene County reviews its portfolio quarterly to determine whether any assets require classification in
accordance with applicable regulations.
The Bank primarily has four segments within its loan
portfolio that it considers when measuring credit quality: residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, consumer loans and commercial loans. The residential real estate portfolio consists of residential, construction, and
multi-family loan classes. Commercial real estate loans consist of commercial real estate and commercial construction loan classes. Consumer loans consist of home equity loan and consumer installment loan classes. The inherent risk within the
loan portfolio varies depending upon each of these loan types.
Residential mortgage loans, including home equity loans, which are collateralized by residences are generally made in amounts up to 85.0 % of the appraised value of the property. In the event of default by the borrower, The Bank of Greene County will acquire and liquidate the
underlying collateral. By originating the loan at a loan-to-value ratio of 85.0 % or less, The Bank of Greene County limits its risk of
loss in the event of default. However, the market values of the collateral may be adversely impacted by declines in the economy. Home equity loans may have an additional inherent risk if The Bank of Greene County does not hold the first
mortgage. The Bank of Greene County may stand in a secondary position in the event of collateral liquidation resulting in a greater chance of insufficiency to meet all obligations.
Construction lending generally involves a greater degree of risk than other residential mortgage lending. The repayment of the construction loan is, to a great
degree, dependent upon the successful and timely completion of the construction of the subject property within specified cost limits. The Bank of Greene County completes inspections during the construction phase prior to any disbursements. The
Bank of Greene County limits its risk during the construction as disbursements are not made until the required work for each advance has been completed. Construction delays may further impair the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.
Loans collateralized by commercial real estate, and multi-family dwellings, such as apartment buildings generally are larger than residential loans and involve a
greater degree of risk. Commercial real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Payments on these loans depend to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the
properties or underlying businesses, and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general. Accordingly, the nature of commercial real estate loans makes them more difficult for
management to monitor and evaluate.
Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans. In addition, consumer loans expand the products and services
offered by The Bank of Greene County to better meet the financial services needs of its customers. Consumer loans generally involve greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans because of the difference in the nature of the underlying
collateral. Repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation in the underlying collateral. The
remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower beyond obtaining a deficiency judgment. In addition, consumer loan collections depend on the borrower’s personal financial stability.
Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans.
Commercial lending generally involves greater risk than residential mortgage lending and involves risks that are different from those associated with residential and
commercial real estate mortgage lending. Real estate lending is generally considered to be collateral-based, with loan amounts based on fixed loan-to-collateral values, and liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral is viewed as the
primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default. Although commercial loans may be collateralized by equipment or other business assets, the liquidation of collateral in the event of a borrower default is often an insufficient source
of repayment because equipment and other business assets may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial loan depends primarily on the creditworthiness of the borrower (and any guarantors), while
liquidation of collateral is a secondary and often insufficient source of repayment. The Bank of Greene County has formed relationships with other community banks within our region to participate in larger commercial loan relationships. These
types of loans are generally considered to be riskier due to the size and complexity of the loan relationship. By entering into a participation agreement with the other bank, The Bank of Greene County can obtain the loan relationship while
limiting its exposure to credit loss. Management completes its due diligence in underwriting these loans and monitors the servicing of these loans.

Nonaccrual Loans
Management places loans on nonaccrual status once the loans have become 90 days or more delinquent. A nonaccrual loan is defined as a loan in which collectability is
questionable and therefore interest on the loan will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. A loan is not placed back on accrual status until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and willingness to make timely payments on the loan. A
loan does not have to be 90 days delinquent in order to be classified as nonaccrual. Nonaccrual loans consisted primarily of loans secured by real estate at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Loans on nonaccrual status totaled $1.9 million at September 30, 2021 of which $260,000
were in the process of foreclosure. At September 30, 2021, there were two residential loans totaling $158,000 and one commercial real estate
loan for $102,000 in the process of foreclosure. Included in nonaccrual loans were $1.4 million of loans which were less than 90 days past due at September 30, 2021, but have a recent history of delinquency greater than 90 days past due. These loans will be
returned to accrual status once they have demonstrated a history of timely payments. Loans on nonaccrual status totaled $2.3 million at
June 30, 2021 of which $260,000 were in the process of foreclosure. At June 30, 2021, there were two residential loans in the process of foreclosure totaling $158,000 and one commercial real estate loan for $102,000 in the process of foreclosure. Included in nonaccrual loans were $1.2
million of loans which were less than 90 days past due at June 30, 2021, but have a recent history of delinquency greater than 90 days past due. The decrease in nonaccrual loans during the three months ended September 30, 2021, was primarily due
to $304,000 in loan repayments and $97,000
in charge-offs.

Impaired Loan Analysis
The Company identifies impaired loans and measures the impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic “Receivables – Loan Impairment.” Management may consider a loan impaired once it is classified as nonaccrual and when it is probable that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan according to
the original contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is restructured in a troubled debt restructuring. It should be noted that management does not evaluate all loans individually for impairment. Generally, The Bank of Greene County
considers residential mortgages, home equity loans and installment loans as small, homogeneous loans, which are evaluated for impairment collectively based on historical loan experience and other factors. In contrast, large commercial mortgage,
construction, multi-family, business loans and select larger balance residential mortgage loans or nonaccrual loans that are over $100,000
and all trouble debt restructured loans are reviewed individually and considered impaired if it is probable that The Bank of Greene County will not be able to collect scheduled payments of principal and interest when due, according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The majority of The Bank of Greene County loans, including most nonaccrual loans, are small
homogeneous loan types adequately supported by collateral. Management considers the payment status of loans in the process of evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses among other factors. Based on this evaluation, a delinquent
loan’s risk rating may be downgraded to either pass-watch, special mention, or substandard, and the allocation of the allowance for loan loss is based upon the risk associated with such designation.

In order to assist borrowers through the COVID-19 pandemic, The Bank of Greene County has instituted a loan deferment program whereby deferral of payments were
provided. Payment deferrals consisted of either principal deferrals or full payment deferrals. As allowed under the CARES Act, and as amended by Section 541 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, the Company will not report these loans
as delinquent and Trouble Debt Restructuring disclosures. The Company will continue to recognize interest income during the deferral period as long as they are deemed collectible. These loans will be closely monitored to determine collectability
and accrual and delinquency status will be updated as deemed appropriate. The following table details loans that have payments deferred as of September 30, 2021.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, the
composition of the loan portfolio, specific impaired loans and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of certain identified loans on which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other
matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, payment status of the loan, historical loan loss experience and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for the loan loss
allowance. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review The Bank of Greene County’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require The Bank of Greene County to recognize
additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. The Bank of Greene County disaggregates its loan portfolio as noted in the below allowance for loan losses tables to evaluate
for impairment collectively based on historical loss experience. The Bank of Greene County evaluates nonaccrual loans that are over $100
thousand and all trouble debt restructured loans individually for impairment, if it is probable that The Bank of Greene County will not be able to collect scheduled payments of principal and interest when due, according to the contractual terms
of the loan agreements. Loans that are guaranteed, such as SBA loans, are excluded from the homogeneous pool of loans and no allowance is allocated to this segment of the portfolio. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the
fair value of the underlying collateral. The Bank of Greene County charges loans off against the allowance for credit losses when it becomes evident that a loan cannot be collected within a reasonable amount of time or that it will cost the Bank
more than it will receive, and all possible avenues of repayment have been analyzed, including the potential of future cash flow, the value of the underlying collateral, and strength of any guarantors or co-borrowers. Generally, consumer loans
and smaller business loans (not secured by real estate) in excess of 90 60 days. With continued growth in the number of deposit accounts, charge-off activity within this category has also grown, as can be seen from the tables below. For loans
secured by real estate, a charge-off is recorded when it is determined that the collection of all or a portion of a loan may not be collected and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. The allowance for loan losses is increased by a
provision for loan losses (which results in a charge to expense) and recoveries of loans previously charged off and is reduced by charge-offs.
The Bank of Greene County recognizes that depending upon the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the adequacy of strategies in place by local and federal
governments, borrowers may not have the ability to repay their debts which may ultimately result in losses to The Bank of Greene County. Management continues to closely monitor credit relationships, particularly those on payment deferral or
adversely classified.
The following tables set forth the activity and allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan class during and at the periods indicated. The allowance is
allocated to each loan class based on historical loss experience, current economic conditions, and other considerations.

(6) Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation
technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair
value amounts have been measured as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these
financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period-end.
The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a
limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not
be meaningful.
The FASB ASC Topic on “Fair Value Measurement” established a fair value hierarchy that prioritized the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements
are not adjusted for transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy exists within GAAP that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are
observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used are as follows:

Certain investments that are actively traded and have quoted market prices have been classified as Level 1 valuations. Other available-for-sale investment
securities have been valued by reference to prices for similar securities or through model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable and, therefore, such valuations have been classified as Level 2.
In addition to disclosures of the fair value of assets on a recurring basis, FASB ASC Topic on “Fair Value Measurement”
requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired assets, in the period in which a re-measurement at fair value is performed. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a
recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also
include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated as required by the “Receivables –Loan Impairment” subtopic of the FASB ASC when establishing the allowance for credit losses.
Impaired loans are those loans in which the Company has measured impairment based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral or the discounted value of expected future cash flows. Fair value is generally determined based upon market value
evaluations by third parties of the properties and/or estimates by management of working capital collateral or discounted cash flows based upon expected proceeds. These appraisals may include up to three approaches to value: the sales comparison approach, the income approach (for income-producing property), and the cost approach. Management modifies the appraised
values, if needed, to take into account recent developments in the market or other factors, such as, changes in absorption rates or market conditions from the time of valuation and anticipated sales values considering management’s plans for
disposition. Such modifications to the appraised values could result in lower valuations of such collateral. Estimated costs to sell are based on current amounts of disposal costs for similar assets. These measurements are classified as Level 3
within the valuation hierarchy. Impaired loans are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustment upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such
loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance.
Fair values for foreclosed real estate are initially recorded based on market value evaluations by third parties, less costs to sell (“initial cost basis”). Any
write-downs required when the related loan receivable is exchanged for the underlying real estate collateral at the time of transfer to foreclosed real estate are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Values are derived from appraisals,
similar to impaired loans, of underlying collateral or discounted cash flow analysis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically and assets are marked to current fair value, not to exceed the initial cost basis. In the
determination of fair value subsequent to foreclosure, management also considers other factors or recent developments, such as, changes in absorption rates and market conditions from the time of valuation and anticipated sales values considering
management’s plans for disposition. Either change could result in adjustment to lower the property value estimates indicated in the appraisals. These measurements are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

No other financial
assets or liabilities were re-measured during the year on a nonrecurring basis.
The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents, long term certificate of deposits, accrued interest receivable
and accrued interest payable approximate their fair values. Fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices (Level 1), where available, or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique, used widely in the industry to
value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank stock
approximates fair value due to its restricted nature. The fair values for loans are measured using the “exit price” notion which is a reasonable estimate of what another party might pay in an orderly transaction. Fair values for variable rate
loans that reprice frequently, with no significant credit risk, are based on carrying value. Fair value for fixed rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flows and interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to
borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values disclosed for demand and savings deposits are equal to carrying amounts at the reporting date. The carrying amounts for variable rate money market deposits approximate fair values at the reporting
date. Fair values for long term certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flows and interest rates currently being offered in the market on similar certificates. Fair value for Federal Home Loan Bank long term borrowings are
estimated using discounted cash flows and interest rates currently being offered on similar borrowings. The carrying value of short-term Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings approximates its fair value. Fair value for subordinated notes payable is
estimated based on a discounted cash flow methodology or observations of recent highly-similar transactions.
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated based on an analysis of the interest rates and fees currently charged to enter into similar transactions,
considering the remaining terms of the commitments and the credit-worthiness of the potential borrowers. At September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the estimated fair values of these off-balance sheet financial instruments were immaterial, and are
therefore excluded from the table below.

(7) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
share is computed in a manner similar to that of basic earnings per share except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of incremental common shares that would have been outstanding under
the treasury stock method if all potentially dilutive common shares (such as stock options) issued became vested during the period. There were no

(9) Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Recently
Adopted
In October 2020, the FASB issued an Update
(ASU 2020-08), Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. The amendments affect the guidance in ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium
Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in that Update shortened the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium by requiring that entities amortize the premium associated with
those callable debt securities within the scope of paragraph 310-20-25-33 to the earliest call date. The Board noted in paragraph BC21 of Update 2017-08 that if the security contained additional future call dates, an entity should consider
whether the amortized cost basis exceeded the amount repayable by the issuer at the next call date. If so, the excess should be amortized to the next call date. The amendments in ASU 2020-08 clarified the Board’s intent that an entity should
reevaluate whether a callable debt security that has multiple call dates is within the scope of paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Accounting Pronouncements to be adopted
in future periods
In June 2016, the FASB issued an Update
(ASU 2016-13) to its guidance on “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. ASU 2016-13 requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other
instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model). Under this model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering
estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications unless reasonable expectation of a troubled debt restructuring exists) from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. The ASU also replaces the current accounting model
for purchased credit impaired loans and debt securities. The allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“PCD assets”), should be determined in a
similar manner to other financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis. However, upon initial recognition, the allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price (“gross up approach”) to determine the initial amortized cost basis.
The subsequent accounting for PCD financial assets is the same expected loss model described above. Further, the ASU made certain targeted amendments to the existing impairment model for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities. For an AFS debt
security for which there is neither the intent nor a more-likely-than-not requirement to sell, an entity will record credit losses as an allowance rather than a write-down of the amortized cost basis. An entity will apply the amendments in this
Update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19,
Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which aligns the implementation date for nonpublic entities’ annual financial statements with the implementation date for their interim financial statements and
clarifies the scope of the guidance in the amendments in ASU 2016-13. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825,
Financial Instruments. The amendments to Topic 326 and other topics in ASU 2019-04 include items related to the amendments in Update 2016-13 discussed at the June 2018 and November 2018 Credit Losses TRG meetings. The amendments clarify or
address stakeholders’ specific issues about certain aspects of the amendments in Update 2016-13 on a number of different topics, including the following: accrued interest, transfers between classifications or categories for loans and debt
securities, recoveries, consideration of prepayments in determining the effective interest rate, consideration of estimated costs to sell when foreclosure is probable, vintage disclosures— line-of-credit arrangements converted to term loans, and
contractual extensions and renewals. The effective dates and transition requirements for the amendments related to this Update are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in Update 2016-13. In November 2019, the FASB issued
ASU 2019-11 Codification Improvements to Topic 326 Financial Instruments Credit Losses provides additional clarification to specific issues about certain aspects of the amendments in Update 2016-13 related to measuring the allowance for loan
losses under the new guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. The initial adjustment will not be reported in earnings and therefore will not have any
material impact on our consolidated results of operations, but it is expected that it will have an impact on our consolidated financial position at the date of adoption. At this time, we have not calculated the estimated impact that this Update
will have on our allowance for credit losses, however, we anticipate it will have a significant impact on the methodology process we utilize to calculate the allowance. A vendor has been selected and alternative methodologies are currently being
considered. Data requirements and integrity are being reviewed and enhancements incorporated into standard processes. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, excluding small reporting companies
such as the Company, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit
Losses which amends the implementation effective date for small reporting companies, such as the Company, and non-public business entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. All entities may adopt the amendments in this Update
earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
In March 2020, the FASB issued an Update
(ASU 2020-04), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). On January 7, 2021, the FASB issued (ASU 2021-01), which refines the scope of ASC 848 and clarifies some of its guidance. The ASU and related amendments provide temporary optional expedients and
exceptions to the existing guidance for applying GAAP to affected contract modifications and hedge accounting relationships in the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other interbank offered rate on financial
reporting. The guidance also allows a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify to AFS or trading HTM debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective March 12, 2020
through December 31, 2022 and permits relief solely for reference rate reform actions and permits different elections over the effective date for legacy and new activity. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to
contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are
retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The Company’s initial evaluation of LIBOR exposure appears to be minimal and limited to a couple of participation loans or risk participation agreements. The Company is working with the other
lead lenders to determine if any potential contract modifications are needed.

Overview of the Company’s Activities and Risks
Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s results of operations depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s loan and securities portfolios and
its cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s provision for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income
consists primarily of fees and service charges. Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s noninterest expense consists principally of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment and data processing, and other operating expenses. Results of
operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, changes in interest rates, as well as government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Additionally, future changes in applicable law,
regulations or government policies may materially affect Greene County Bancorp, Inc.
To operate successfully, the Company must manage various types of risk, including but not limited to, market or interest rate risk, credit risk, transaction risk, liquidity risk, security risk, strategic risk,
reputation risk and compliance risk. While all of these risks are important, the risks of greatest significance to the Company relate to market or interest rate risk and credit risk.
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and/or interest rates. Since net interest income (the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits
and borrowings) is the Company’s primary source of revenue, interest rate risk is the most significant non-credit related market risk to which the Company is exposed. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates as well as
fluctuations in the level and duration of the Company’s assets and liabilities.
Interest rate risk is the exposure of the Company’s net interest income to adverse movements in interest rates. In addition to directly impacting net interest income, changes in interest rates can also affect the
amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers and debt issuers to repay loans and debt securities, the volume of loan repayments and refinancing, and the flow and mix of deposits.
Credit risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings and shareholders’ equity that results from customers, to whom loans have been made and to the issuers of debt securities in which the Company has invested, failing
to repay their obligations. The magnitude of risk depends on the capacity and willingness of borrowers and debt issuers to repay and the sufficiency of the value of collateral obtained to secure the loans made or investments purchased.
Operational risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, the misconduct or errors of people, and adverse external events.
Operational losses result from internal fraud; external fraud; employment practices and workplace safety, clients, products, and business practices; damage to physical assets; business disruption and system failures; and execution, delivery, and
process management.
COVID-19 is expected to continue to impact the economy and the Company’s financial results as well as demand for services and products during the remainder for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. The Company has
implemented various plans, strategies, and protocols to protect its employees, customers and other stakeholders in response to the pandemic. The Company imposed business travel restrictions, implemented quarantine and remote work from home
protocols, and at times during the pandemic, the Company implemented drive-thru only or by appointment protocols for branches and other operational areas which may be reinstated if needed. Enhanced cleaning, sanitation processes and social
distancing measurers were also implemented. The Company also enhanced communications with critical vendors to ensure operational functioning of mission-critical activities. The long-term implications of the COVID-19 crisis, and related
government monetary and fiscal stimulus measures on the Company’s future operations, revenues, earnings, allowance for loan losses, capital and liquidity are difficult to assess and remain uncertain at this time.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. Greene County Bancorp, Inc. desires to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is
including this statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protections of the safe harbor with respect to all such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are included in this Management’s Discussion
and Analysis and elsewhere in this quarterly report, describe future plans or strategies and include Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s expectations of future financial results. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements. Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies or qualitative or quantitative changes based on market risk exposure is inherently uncertain.
Factors that could affect actual results include but are not limited to:
| (a) |
changes in general market interest rates,
|

| (c) |
economic or policy changes related to the COVID-19 pandemic,
|
| (d) |
legislative and regulatory changes,
|
| (e) |
monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve,
|
| (f) |
changes in the quality or composition of Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s loan and investment portfolios,
|
| (g) |
deposit flows,
|
| (h) |
competition, and
|
| (i) |
demand for financial services in Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s market area.
|
These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements, since results in future periods may differ materially from those
currently expected because of various risks and uncertainties.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Regulation G, a rule adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), applies to certain SEC filings, including earnings releases, made by registered companies that contain “non-GAAP financial measures.”
GAAP is generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. 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 (if a comparable GAAP measure exists) and a statement of the Company’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. Financial institutions like the Company and its subsidiary banks are subject to an array of bank regulatory capital measures that are financial in nature but are not based
on GAAP and are not easily reconcilable to the closest comparable GAAP financial measures, even in those cases where a comparable measure exists. The Company follows industry practice in disclosing its financial condition under these various
regulatory capital measures in its periodic reports filed with the SEC, including period-end regulatory capital ratios for itself and its subsidiary banks, and does so without compliance with Regulation G, on the widely-shared assumption that the
SEC regards such non-GAAP measures to be exempt from Regulation G. The Company uses in this Report additional non-GAAP financial measures that are commonly utilized by financial institutions and have not been specifically exempted by the SEC from
Regulation G. The Company provides, as supplemental information, such non-GAAP measures included in this Report as described immediately below.
Tax-Equivalent Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin: Net interest income, as a component of the tabular presentation by financial institutions of Selected Financial Information regarding their recently completed operations, as well as disclosures based on that tabular presentation, 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 another institution 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 earning assets. For purposes of
this measure as well, tax-equivalent net interest income is generally used by financial institutions, again to provide a better basis of comparison from institution to institution and to better demonstrate a single institution’s performance
over time. While we present net interest income and net interest margin utilizing GAAP measures (no tax-equivalent adjustments) as a component of the tabular presentation within our disclosures, we do provide as supplemental information net
interest income and net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis.
Allowance for loan losses to total loans receivable: The allowance for loan losses to total loans receivable ratio is calculated by dividing the balance in the allowance for loan losses by the gross loans outstanding at the end of the period. This ratio is utilized to show the historical
relationship between the allowance for loan losses and the balances of loans at the end each period presented in conjunction with other financial information related to asset quality such as nonperforming loans, charge-offs, and classified
assets to indicate the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The Company has adjusted the calculation of the allowance for loan losses to total loans receivable to exclude loans that are 100% guaranteed by the Small Business
Administration as these present no credit risk to the Company. With a significant balance in SBA loans at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, this adjusted calculation is used to provide a better basis of comparison with other periods
presented within the financial statements presented.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021
ASSETS
Total assets of the Company were $2.3 billion at September 30, 2021 and $2.2 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $82.5 million, or 3.8%. Securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity increased $100.5
million, or 11.3%, to $988.3 million at September 30, 2021 as compared to $887.8 million at June 30, 2021. Net loans receivable increased $10.9 million, or 1.0%, to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2021 from $1.1 billion at June 30, 2021.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $36.5 million to $113.3 million at September 30, 2021 from $149.8 million at June 30, 2021. The level of cash and cash equivalents is a function of the daily account
clearing needs and deposit levels as well as activities associated with securities transactions and loan funding. All of these items can cause cash levels to fluctuate significantly on a daily basis.
SECURITIES
Securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity increased $100.5 million, or 11.3%, to $988.3 million at September 30, 2021 as compared to $887.8 million at June 30, 2021. This increase was the result of
utilizing excess cash on hand due to an increase in deposits. Securities purchases totaled $198.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and consisted of $142.3 million of state and political subdivision securities, $33.5
million of mortgage-backed securities, $2.5 million of corporate securities, and $19.9 million of other securities. Principal pay-downs and maturities during the three months amounted to $95.0 million, primarily consisting of $11.1 million of
mortgage-backed securities, $81.3 million of state and political subdivision securities, $867,000 of collateralized mortgage obligations, and $1.7 million of other securities. At September 30, 2021, 61.0% of our securities portfolio consisted of
state and political subdivision securities to take advantage of tax savings and to promote Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s participation in the communities in which it operates. Mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities held within the
portfolio do not contain sub-prime loans and are not exposed to the credit risk associated with such lending.

LOANS
Net loans receivable increased $10.9 million, or 1.0%, to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2021 from $1.1 billion at June 30, 2021. Net loans receivable at September 30, 2021 included $37.4 million in SBA Paycheck
Protection Program loans. The loan growth experienced during the three months consisted primarily of $38.2 million in commercial real estate loans, $1.1 million in residential real estate loans, $2.5 million in residential construction, $1.6
million in multi-family loans, and a $1.3 million net decrease in deferred fees due to the forgiveness of SBA PPP loans. This growth was partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in commercial construction loans, $32.3 million decrease in
commercial loans and an $825,000 increase in allowance for loan losses. SBA PPP loans decreased $30.0 million to $37.4 million at September 30, 2021 from $67.4 million at June 30, 2021, due to the receipt of forgiveness proceeds. The Company
continues to experience loan growth as a result of continued growth in its customer base and its relationships with other financial institutions in originating loan participations. We believe that customer satisfaction continued to grow through
our participation in the PPP loan program and our quick response to customer needs during the pandemic, which has enhanced loan growth. The Bank of Greene County continues to use a conservative underwriting policy in regard to all loan
originations, and does not engage in sub-prime lending or other exotic loan products. Updated appraisals are obtained on loans when there is a reason to believe that there has been a change in the borrower’s ability to repay the loan principal
and interest, generally, when a loan is in a delinquent status. Additionally, if an existing loan is to be modified or refinanced, generally, an appraisal is ordered to ensure continued collateral adequacy.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and provides over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by
the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). An eligible business could apply for a PPP
loan up to the greater of: (1) 2.5 times its average monthly “payroll costs”; or (2) $10.0 million. PPP loans have: (a) an interest rate of 1.0%, (b) a 2-5 year loan term to maturity, and (c) principal and interest payments deferred for six
months from the date of disbursement. The Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”) was signed into law on December 27, 2020. The CAA, extended the life of the PPP, creating a second round of PPP loans for eligible
businesses. The Company participated in the CAA’s second round of PPP lending. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s PPP loan, including any accrued interest,
is eligible to be reduced by the loan forgiveness amount under the PPP so long as employee and compensation levels of the business are maintained and at least 60% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll expenses, with the remaining 40%, or
less, of the loan proceeds used for other qualifying expenses. The Company had 407 remaining PPP loans with a total balance of $37.4 million outstanding at September 30, 2021, compared to 835 PPP loans with a total balance of $67.4 million
outstanding at June 30, 2021.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, the composition of the loan portfolio, specific impaired
loans and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of certain identified loans on which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair
value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, payment status of the loan, historical loan loss experience and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for the loan loss allowance. In addition, various regulatory agencies,
as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review The Bank of Greene County’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require The Bank of Greene County to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment
about information available to them at the time of their examination. The Bank of Greene County disaggregates its loan portfolio as noted in the below allowance for loan losses tables to evaluate for impairment collectively based on historical
loss experience. The Bank of Greene County evaluates nonaccrual loans that are over $100 thousand and all trouble debt restructured loans individually for impairment, if it is probable that The Bank of Greene County will not be able to collect
scheduled payments of principal and interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements. Loans that are guaranteed, such as SBA loans, are excluded from the homogeneous pool of loans and no allowance is allocated to this
segment of the portfolio. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The Bank of Greene County charges loans off against the allowance for credit losses when it becomes evident that a
loan cannot be collected within a reasonable amount of time or that it will cost the Bank more than it will receive, and all possible avenues of repayment have been analyzed, including the potential of future cash flow, the value of the
underlying collateral, and strength of any guarantors or co-borrowers. Generally, consumer loans and smaller business loans (not secured by real estate) in excess of 90 days are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses, unless equitable
arrangements are made. Included within consumer installment loan charge-offs and recoveries are deposit accounts that have been overdrawn in excess of 60 days. With continued growth in the number of deposit accounts, charge-off activity within
this category has also grown, as can be seen from the tables below. For loans secured by real estate, a charge-off is recorded when it is determined that the collection of all or a portion of a loan may not be collected and the amount of that
loss can be reasonably estimated. The allowance for loan losses is increased by a provision for loan losses (which results in a charge to expense) and recoveries of loans previously charged off and is reduced by charge-offs.
The Bank of Greene County recognizes that depending upon the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the adequacy of strategies in place by local and federal governments, borrowers may not have the ability to repay
their debts which may ultimately result in losses to The Bank of Greene County. Management continues to closely monitor credit relationships, particularly those on payment deferral or adversely classified.

Nonaccrual Loans and Nonperforming Assets
Loans are reviewed on a regular basis to assess collectability of all principal and interest payments due. Management determines that a loan is impaired or nonperforming when it is probable at least a portion of
the principal or interest will not be collected in accordance with contractual terms of the note. When a loan is determined to be impaired, the measurement of the loan is based on present value of estimated future cash flows, except that all
collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.
Generally, management places loans on nonaccrual status once the loans have become 90 days or more delinquent or sooner if there is a significant reason for management to believe the collectability is questionable
and, therefore, interest on the loan will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. The Company identifies impaired loans and measures the impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic “Receivables – Loan
Impairment.” Management may consider a loan impaired once it is classified as nonaccrual and when it is probable that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement or the
loan is restructured in a troubled debt restructuring. A loan does not have to be 90 days delinquent in order to be classified as nonperforming. Foreclosed real estate is considered to be a nonperforming asset. For further discussion and detail
regarding impaired loans please refer to Part I, Financial Statements (unaudited), Note 5 Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses of this Report.

Nonperforming assets amounted to $2.0 million and $2.4 million at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Nonaccrual loans consisted primarily of loans secured by real estate at September 30, 2021 and

one commercial real estate loan for $102,000 in the process of foreclosure. Included in nonaccrual loans were $1.4 million of loans which were less than 90 days past due at September 30, 2021, but have a recent history of delinquency greater than
90 days past due. These loans will be returned to accrual status once they have demonstrated a history of timely payments. Loans on nonaccrual status totaled $2.3 million at June 30, 2021 of which $260,000 were in the process of foreclosure. At
June 30, 2021, there were two residential loans in the process of foreclosure totaling $158,000 and one commercial real estate loan totaling $102,000 in the process of foreclosure. Included in nonaccrual loans were $1.2 million of loans which

In order to assist borrowers through the COVID-19 pandemic, The Bank of Greene County has instituted a loan deferment program whereby deferral of payments were provided. Payment deferrals consisted of either
principal deferrals or full payment deferrals. As allowed under the CARES Act, and as amended by Section 541 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, the Company will not report these loans as delinquent and Trouble Debt Restructuring
disclosures. The Company will continue to recognize interest income during the deferral period as long as they are deemed collectible. These loans will be closely monitored to determine collectability and accrual and delinquency status will be
updated as deemed appropriate. The following table details loans that have payments deferred as of September 30, 2021. For further detail regarding loans that have payments deferred as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021 please refer to
Part I, Financial Statements (unaudited), Note 5 Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses of this Report.
Impaired Loans
The Company identifies impaired loans and measures the impairment in accordance with FASB ASC subtopic “Receivables – Loan Impairment.” A loan is considered impaired when it
is probable that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is restructured in a troubled debt restructuring.

1 The dividend payout ratio has been calculated based on the dividends
declared per share divided by basic earnings per share. No adjustments have been made for dividends waived by Greene County Bancorp, MHC (“MHC”), the owner of 54.1% of the Company’s shares outstanding.
2 Dividends declared divided by net income. The MHC waived its right to receive dividends declared during the
three months ended March 31, 2020; June 30, 2020; September 30, 2020; December 31, 2020; June 30, 2021; and September 30, 2021. Dividends declared during the three months ended December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2021 were paid to the MHC. The MHC’s
ability to waive the receipt of dividends is dependent upon annual approval of its members as well as receiving the non-objection of the Federal Reserve Board.

GENERAL
Return on average assets and return on average equity are common methods of measuring operating results. Annualized return on average assets increased to 1.28% from 1.14% for the three months ended September 30,
2021 and 2020, respectively. Annualized return on average equity increased to 18.60% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 14.89% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in return on average assets and
average equity was primarily the result of net income growth outpacing balance sheet growth, offset by decreases in interest yields on interest earning assets. Net income amounted to $7.1 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Average assets increased $506.8 million, or 29.5%, to $2.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $1.7 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Average
equity increased $22.0 million, or 16.8%, to $153.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $131.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income amounted to $15.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $13.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $2.3 million, or 17.1%. The
increase in average balances on loans and securities as well as the recognition of PPP fee income due to the forgiveness of SBA PPP loans had the greatest impact on interest income, offset by the decrease in rates on securities. Average loan
balances increased $74.8 million and the yield on loans increased 41 basis points when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Included in interest-earning assets at September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $37.4
million and $100.5 million of SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, respectively, at a rate of 1.00%. The Bank received $1.5 million and $16,000 in SBA PPP fee income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively,
which was realized through a deferred origination fee and recognized within interest income. Average securities balances increased $304.6 million and the yield on securities decreased 47 basis points when comparing the three months ended
September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense amounted to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $308,000, or 20.2%. As illustrated
in the rate/volume table, interest expense decreased $308,000 when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 due to the decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Decreases in the rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities was offset by an increase in interest expense of $397,000 when comparing these same periods due to the increased average balances.
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 17 basis points to 0.26% for the 2021 quarter from 0.43% for the 2020 quarter. The cost of NOW deposits decreased 23 basis points, the cost of savings and
money market deposits decreased 14 basis points, and the cost of certificates of deposit decreased 33 basis points when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The decrease in cost of interest-bearing
liabilities was offset by growth in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $446.9 million, most notably due to an increase in NOW deposits of $370.7 million, an increase in average savings and money market deposits of $69.2
million, and an increase in borrowings of $7.6 million when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The cost of borrowings increased 265 basis points when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2021 and
2020. The increase in cost of borrowings was due to the Company entering into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements in September 2021. Yields on interest-earning assets and costs of interest-bearing deposits continue to remain low as a result
of the low interest rate environment brought on by Federal Reserve Board interest rate decreases during fiscal 2020 and its stance to continue the low interest rate environment to support an economic recovery as the pandemic continues.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income increased $2.6 million to $14.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest income was
primarily the result of the growth in the average balance of interest-earning assets, which increased $460.5 million when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, offset by a decrease in the average interest rate on
interest-earning assets, which decreased 25 basis points when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Net interest rate spread and margin both decreased when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Net interest rate spread decreased eight basis points to 2.64% for the three months ended
September 30, 2021 compared to 2.72% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Net interest margin decreased 12 basis points to 2.67% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2.79% for the three months ended September 30,
2020. Decreases in net interest rate spread and net interest margin resulted primarily from lower-yielding securities and loans offset by lower rates on deposits as well as growth in loan and securities balances.
Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if the Company’s investment in tax-exempt securities and loans had been subject to
federal and New York State income taxes yielding the same after-tax income. Tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.81% and 2.98% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Due to the large portion of fixed-rate residential mortgages in the Company’s portfolio, the Company closely monitors its interest rate risk, and the Company will continue to monitor and adjust the asset and
liability mix as much as possible to take advantage of the benefits and reduce the risks or potential negative effects of changes in interest rates, including in a rising rate environment. Management attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk
through balance sheet composition. Several strategies are used to help manage interest rate risk such as maintaining a high level of liquid assets such as short-term federal funds sold and various investment securities and maintaining a high
concentration of less interest-rate sensitive and lower-costing core deposits.
The Federal Reserve Bank has taken a number of measures in an attempt to mitigate the impact of the Coronavirus on the economy. The Federal Reserve Bank has maintained interest rates near 0.00%-0.25% which has had
an impact to the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2021. It is anticipated that the low interest rate environment will continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s interest spread and margin during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2022. The Company continually monitors its interest rate risk and the impact to net interest income and capital from the interest rate decrease is well within established limits.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Provision for loan losses amounted to $988,000 and $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and
2020 was due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as growth in gross loans and an increase in loans adversely classified. The Company instituted a loan deferral program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic whereby deferral of principal
and/or interest payments have been provided and correspond to the length of the National Emergency as defined under the CARES Act and extended under the Consolidated Appropriations Act which was signed into law on December 27, 2020. At
September 30, 2021, the Company had $7.1 million, consisting of six loans, on payment deferral as a result of the pandemic, which is a decrease from $8.0 million, consisting of eight loans, at June 30, 2021. Management continues to monitor these
loans, and it remains uncertain whether all of these loans will continue to perform as agreed once they reach the end of the deferral period. Loans classified as substandard or special mention totaled $47.6 million at September 30, 2021, compared
to $49.7 million at June 30, 2021, a decrease of $2.1 million, and compared to $38.9 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of $8.7 million. Loans classified as substandard or special mention decreased slightly as compared to June 30, 2021
but remained elevated as compared to September 30, 2020, due to insufficient cash flows and revenues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Reserves on loans classified as substandard or special mention totaled $8.0 million at September 30, 2021
compared to $7.8 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of $200,000. No loans were classified as doubtful or loss at September 30, 2021 or June 30, 2021. Allowance for loan losses to total loans receivable was 1.83% at September 30, 2021 compared
to 1.77% at June 30, 2021. Total loans receivable included $37.4 million and $67.4 million of SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Excluding these SBA guaranteed loans, the allowance
for loan losses to total loans receivable would have been 1.90% and 1.89% at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
Net charge-offs amounted to $163,000 and $38,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $125,000. The primary net charge off activity was in the consumer loans and one
commercial loan charge off that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Nonperforming loans amounted to $1.9 million and $2.3 million at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease in nonperforming loans during the period was primarily due to $304,000 in loan
repayments, and $97,000 in charge-offs. At September 30, 2021 nonperforming assets were 0.09% of total assets compared to 0.11% at June 30, 2021. Nonperforming loans were 0.17% and 0.21% of net loans at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021,
respectively. Nonperforming assets to total assets were 0.24% and nonperforming loans to net loans were 0.42% at September 30, 2020. The Company has not been an originator of “no documentation” mortgage loans, and the loan portfolio does not
include any mortgage loans that the Company classifies as sub-prime.

Noninterest income increased $851,000, or 41.0%, and totaled $2.9 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in
debit card fees resulting from continued growth in the number of checking accounts with debit cards, increases in service charges on deposit accounts and the income from bank owned life insurance, which was purchased in quarter ended March 31,
2021. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Bank purchased $7.0 million in additional bank owned life insurance.

Noninterest expense increased $828,000, or 11.6%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in noninterest
expense during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense resulting from creating 13 new positions during the previous fiscal year. The new positions were required to
support growth in the bank’s lending department, customer service center and finance department. There was also an increase in other non-interest expense as the bank made a charitable donation to The Bank of Greene County Charitable Foundation
during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
INCOME TAXES
Provision for income taxes reflects the expected tax associated with the pre-tax income generated for the given year and certain regulatory requirements. The effective tax rate was 15.1% for the three months ended
September 30, 2021 and 11.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The statutory tax rate is impacted by the benefits derived from tax-exempt bond and loan income, the Company’s real estate investment trust subsidiary
income, income received on the bank owned life insurance, as well as the tax benefits derived from premiums paid to the Company’s pooled captive insurance subsidiary to arrive at the effective tax rate. The increase in the current quarter was
attributable to the increase in the New York State tax rate and the increase in income before taxes for September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. Greene
County Bancorp, Inc.’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk since the majority of Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s primary
sources of funds are deposits and proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed securities and debt securities, with lines of credit available through the Federal Home Loan Bank and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank as
needed. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows, mortgage prepayments, and lending activities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and
competition. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has added to the uncertainty regarding the Company’s liquidity needs, with reductions in interest and principal payments from loans and changes in deposit activity, estimating cash flow has become
more challenging. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $113.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, representing 5.0% of total assets, and had $594.9 million available in unused lines of credit.
At September 30, 2021, liquidity measures were as follows:

Risk Participation Agreements
Risk participation agreements (“RPAs”) are guarantees issued by the Company to other parties for a fee, whereby the Company agrees to participate in the credit risk of a derivative customer of the other party.
Under the terms of these agreements, the “participating bank” receives a fee from the “lead bank” in exchange for the guarantee of reimbursement if the customer defaults on an interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is transacted such that any
and all exchanges of interest payments (favorable and unfavorable) are made between the lead bank and the customer. In the event that an early termination of the swap occurs and the customer is unable to make a required close out payment, the
participating bank assumes that obligation and is required to make this payment.
RPAs where the Company acts as the lead bank are referred to as “participations-out,” in reference to the credit risk associated with the customer derivatives being transferred out of the Company.
Participations-out generally occur concurrently with the sale of new customer derivatives. The Company had no participations-out at September 30, 2021 or June 30, 2020. RPAs where the Company acts as the participating bank are referred to as
“participations-in,” in reference to the credit risk associated with the counterparty’s derivatives being assumed by the Company. The Company’s maximum credit exposure is based on its proportionate share of the settlement amount of the referenced
interest rate swap. Settlement amounts are generally calculated based on the fair value of the swap plus outstanding accrued interest receivables from the customer. The Company’s estimate of the credit exposure associated with its risk
participations-in was $1.7 million and $2.1 million at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The current amount of credit exposure is spread out over three counterparties, and terms range between four to fifteen years.
Greene County Bancorp, Inc. anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments based on the level of cash and cash equivalents as well as the available-for-sale investment
portfolio and borrowing capacity.
The Bank of Greene County and Greene County Commercial Bank met all applicable regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

Controls and Procedures
|
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation
of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and in timely altering them to material information relating to the Company (or its
consolidated subsidiaries) required to be filed in its periodic SEC filings.
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in connection with the quarterly evaluation that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

|
| 2. |
Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were

| 4. |
The registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting

information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
c) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure
controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of
directors:
|
a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely
affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
