Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

At and for the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

(1)          Basis of Presentation

Within the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition, and related notes to the consolidated financial statements, June 30, 2022 data were 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 (the “Commercial Bank”) and Greene Property Holdings, Ltd. The consolidated financial statements at and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited.

On March 23, 2023, the Company effected a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a stock dividend on its outstanding shares of common stock. All share and per share data throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. The shares of common stock retain a par value of $0.10 per share. Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the increased shares resulting from the stock split was reclassified from “Additional paid-in capital” to “Common stock”.

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, 2022, 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. 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.

(2)          Nature of Operations

The Company’s primary business is the ownership and operation of its subsidiaries. At March 31, 2023, the Bank has 17 full-service banking offices, an operations center, customer call center and lending center located in its market area consisting of the Hudson Valley and Capital District Regions of New York State.  The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public in the Bank’s market area, and investing such deposits, together with other sources of funds, in loans and investment securities. The 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 are transferred and beneficially owned by Greene Property Holdings, Ltd.  The Bank continues to service these loans.  Greene Risk Management, Inc. was formed in December 2014 as a pooled captive insurance company subsidiary of the Company, 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.

8

Index

The Company 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.

The Company’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.  As of March 31, 2023, 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.

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.

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.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, interest rates have increased, causing the unrealized loss on debt securities to increase, which does not indicate OTTI. Management has evaluated securities considering the other factors as outlined above, and based on this evaluation the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2023. Unrealized losses on securities improved as of March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, due to bond yields decreasing, providing a favorable impact to securities valuations as of quarter end.

There were no transfers of securities available-for-sale to held-to-maturity during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and nine months ended March 31, 2022, there were no sales of securities and no gains or losses were recognized. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, a loss of $251,000 was recognized from one sale of an available-for-sale security. The proceeds were used to fund higher-yielding loans. There was no other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

At March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, securities with an aggregate fair value of $920.1 million and $892.9 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral for deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits for various municipalities placing deposits with the Commercial Bank.  At March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, securities with an aggregate fair value of $17.2 million and $17.4 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral for potential borrowings at the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. The Company did not participate in any securities lending programs during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.

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, the Company concluded that the par value of its investment in FHLB stock will be recovered and, therefore, no impairment charge was recorded during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.

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 Company 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 Company 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 Company identifies problem loans as being impaired, it is required to evaluate whether the Company 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 Company 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 Company’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 Company reviews its portfolio quarterly to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

The Company 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 Company will acquire and liquidate the underlying collateral.  By originating the loan at a loan-to-value ratio of 85.0% or less, the Company 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 Company does not hold the first mortgage.  The Company may stand in a secondary position in the event of collateral liquidation resulting in a greater chance of insufficiency to meet all obligations.

Index

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 Company completes inspections during the construction phase prior to any disbursements.  The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

The Company had no loans classified doubtful or loss at March 31, 2023 or June 30, 2022.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company upgraded one commercial loan relationship from special mention to pass, one large relationship from substandard to special mention, and one relationship from substandard to pass due to improvements in borrower cash flows and improving financial performance. There were also loan payoffs during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, comprised of seven commercial real estate loans that were classified as substandard. This was offset by two commercial real estate loan relationships and one commercial loan relationship downgraded to substandard, and two commercial real estate loan relationship downgraded to special mention during the current quarter. At March 31, 2023, these loans were all performing. Management continues to monitor these loan relationships closely.

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. Loans on nonaccrual status totaled $4.7 million at March 31, 2023, of which there were four residential loans totaling $675,000 that were in process of foreclosure. Included in nonaccrual loans were $4.0 million of loans which were less than 90 days past due at March 31, 2023, 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 $6.3 million at June 30, 2022 of which $528,000 were in the process of foreclosure. At June 30, 2022, there were three residential loans in the process of foreclosure totaling $426,000 and one commercial real estate loan for $102,000 in the process of foreclosure. Included in nonaccrual loans were $4.4 million of loans which were less than 90 days past due at June 30, 2022, but have a recent history of delinquency greater than 90 days past due. The decrease in nonperforming loans during the period was primarily due to $1.3 million in loan repayments, $134,000 in loans returning to performing status, and $508,000 in charge-offs or transfers to foreclosed, partially offset by $293,000

      of loans placed into nonperforming status.

The Company had no accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022.  The borrowers have made arrangements with the Bank to bring the loans current within a specified time period and have made a series of payments as agreed.

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 Company 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 $250 thousand and
      all trouble debt restructured loans are reviewed individually and considered impaired if it is probable that the Company 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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. The Company 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 Company evaluates nonaccrual loans that are over $250 thousand and all trouble debt restructured loans individually for impairment, if it is probable that the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

(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 March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 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.

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.

22

Index

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.

The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial condition for total cash and cash equivalents, long term certificates of deposit, 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 values 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 March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, 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 dilutive or anti-dilutive securities or contracts outstanding during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 ASU 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 ASU 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 ASU 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 ASU 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. To date, the Company has implemented a detailed project plan, established a governance structure, selected a software vendor, hired resources to support the CECL modeling, incorporated data requirements and enhancements into our standard processes, selected portfolio segmentations, determined the credit loss methodology for each portfolio, performed parallel calculations for certain elements of the model, selected a model validation firm and have finalized the methodology and reserve processes for the CECL related to HTM investment and the CECL related to off-balance sheet credit exposures. We are in the process of documenting accounting policy elections, processes and controls. 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. The Company will implement this standard for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2023.

Index

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 does not expect the impact of adopting the new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s LIBOR exposure is minimal and limited to a couple of participation loans and risk participation agreements. The Company is working with the lead lenders to execute the required contract modifications.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, amendments related to Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) for all entities after they adopt ASU 2016-13 and amendments related to vintage disclosures that affect public business entities with investments in financing receivables, under Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU eliminates the guidance on TDRs and requires an evaluation on all loan modifications to determine if they result in a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. The ASU also requires that entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination and eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs in Subtopic 310-40. The effective dates for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective dates in ASU 2016-13. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company will implement the Update with the adoption of ASU 2016-13.

(14)        Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business there are various commitments and contingent liabilities outstanding pertaining to the granting of loans and the lines of credit, which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s unfunded loan commitments and unused lines of credit are as follows:

(In thousands) March 31, 2023 June 30, 2022
Unfunded loan commitments $ 96,111 $ 213,420
Unused lines of credit 92,108 85,971
Standby letters of credit 889 189
Total commitments $ 189,108 $ 299,580

Commitments to extend credit in the form of loan commitments and lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral, if any, required upon an extension of credit is based on management’s evaluation of customer credit. Commitments to extend mortgage credit are primarily collateralized by first liens on real estate. Collateral on extensions of commercial lines of credit vary but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income producing commercial property.

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to various legal proceedings arising out of their businesses. Except as noted below, management believes there are no such legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

On April 26, 2022, Andrew Broockmann, a customer of The Bank of Greene County (the “Bank”), filed a putative class action complaint against the Bank in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York. The complaint alleges that the Bank improperly assessed overdraft fees on debit-card transactions that were authorized on a positive account balance but settled on a negative balance. Mr. Broockmann, on behalf of the putative class, seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages, enjoinment of the conduct complained of, and costs and fees. The complaint is similar to complaints filed against other financial institutions pertaining to overdraft fees. The Bank denies that it improperly assessed overdraft fees or breached any agreement with Mr. Broockmann or with members of the putative class. On February 28, 2023, the parties entered into a settlement agreement which contemplates, among other things, that the Bank will (a) pay a cash payment of $1,150,000, (b) forgive, waive, and not collect an additional $64,500 in uncollected overdraft fees, and (c) cease collecting certain types of overdraft fees.  On March 8, 2023, class counsel filed a motion seeking the court’s preliminary approval of the class action settlement. That motion remains pending. The Company had reserved $1.15 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2022 in connection with the matter, which was included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

(15)        Subsequent events

On April 19, 2023, the Board of Directors announced a cash dividend for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 of $0.07 per share on Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s common stock.  The dividend reflects an annual cash dividend rate of $0.28 per share. The dividend rate reflects the 2-for-1 stock split, distributed after the close of trading on March 23, 2023 and is unchanged from the previous quarterly dividend, which was $0.14 on a pre-split adjusted basis. The dividend will be payable to stockholders of record as of May 15, 2023, and is expected to be paid on May 31, 2023.  The Greene County Bancorp, MHC intends to waive its receipt of this dividend.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Overview of the Company’s Activities and Risks

The Company’s results of operations depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on the Company’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 the Company’s provision for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense.  Noninterest income consists primarily of fees and service charges.  The Company’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 the Company.

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.

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 most significant market risk affecting the Company. It 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.

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company may not be able to satisfy current or future financial commitments or may become unduly reliant on alternate funding sources. The Company’s objective is to fund balance sheet growth while meeting the cash flow requirements of depositors. Management is responsible for liquidity monitoring and has available different sources or uses of liquidity as requirements and demands change. These demands include loan growth and repayments, security purchases and maturities, deposit inflows and outflows, and payments on borrowings.  Management continually monitors trends to identify patterns that might improve the predictability and timing of the Company’s liquidity position.

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.

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, including period-end regulatory capital ratios for itself and its subsidiary banks, in its periodic reports filed with the SEC, and it 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 interest-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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’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.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022

ASSETS

Total assets of the Company were $2.7 billion at March 31, 2023 and $2.6 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of $157.4 million, or 6.1%. Securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity decreased $116.1 million, or 9.9%, to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2023 as compared to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2022. Net loans receivable increased $159.0 million, or 12.9%, to $1.4 billion at March 31, 2023 from $1.2 billion at June 30, 2022.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Total cash and cash equivalents increased $109.3 million to $178.3 million at March 31, 2023 from $69.0 million at June 30, 2022. 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. The Company increased its overall liquidity and cash position in response the current turmoil in the banking sector. As of March 31, 2023 the Company has maintained a strong liquidity position.

SECURITIES

Securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity decreased $116.1 million, or 9.9%, to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2023 as compared to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2022. The decrease was the result of utilizing maturing investments to fund loan growth during the period and due to the increase in unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities of $2.3 million. Securities purchases totaled $146.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and consisted primarily of $144.5 million of state and political subdivision securities. Principal pay-downs and maturities during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 amounted to $256.4 million, primarily consisting of $229.8 million of state and political subdivision securities, and $24.2 million of mortgage-backed securities. At March 31, 2023, 62.3% of our securities portfolio consisted of state and political subdivision securities to take advantage of tax savings and to promote the Company’s participation in the communities in which it operates. Mortgage-backed securities, which represent 28.2% of our securities portfolio at March 31, 2023, do not contain sub-prime loans and are not exposed to the credit risk associated with such lending.

LOANS

Net loans receivable increased $159.0 million, or 12.9%, to $1.4 billion at March 31, 2023 from $1.2 billion at June 30, 2022.  The loan growth experienced during the nine months consisted primarily of $107.1 million in commercial real estate loans, $14.0 million in residential real estate loans, $2.3 million in residential construction and land loans, $3.4 million in multi-family loans, and $25.1 million in commercial construction loans. 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.  The Company 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.

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 an allowance for loan loss.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.  The Company disaggregates its loan portfolio as noted in the below allocation of allowance for loan losses table to evaluate for impairment collectively based on historical loss experience.  The Company evaluates nonaccrual loans that are over $250 thousand and all trouble debt restructured loans individually for impairment, if it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect scheduled payments of principal and interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements.  The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The Company charges loans off against the allowance for loan losses when it becomes evident that a loan cannot be collected within a reasonable amount of time or that it will cost the Company 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.  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.

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.

35

Index

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.

Included in nonaccrual loans were $4.0 million of loans which were less than 90 days past due at March 31, 2023, 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 $6.3 million at June 30, 2022 of which $528,000 were in the process of foreclosure. At June 30, 2022, there were three residential loans in the process of foreclosure totaling $426,000 and one commercial real estate loan totaling $102,000 in the process of foreclosure. Included in nonaccrual loans were $4.4 million of loans which were less than 90 days past due at June 30, 2022, but have a recent history of delinquency greater than 90 days past due.

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.

Residential real estate average balance of impaired loans with a valuation allowance amounted to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $400,000.  The increase in residential real estate impaired loans was primarily the result of two loan relationships moving into impairment status during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Commercial loans average balance of impaired loans with a valuation allowance amounted to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.6 million.  The decrease was primarily the result of one loan paying off during the quarter end December 31, 2022 and one loan moving to foreclosed real estate.

DEPOSITS

Deposits totaled $2.5 billion at March 31, 2023 and $2.2 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of $259.7 million, or 11.7%.

Index

The Bank also pledges securities and certificates of deposit as collateral at the Federal Reserve Bank discount window for overnight borrowings. At March 31, 2023, approximately $17.2 million of collateral was available to be pledged against potential borrowings at the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. There were no balances outstanding with the Federal Reserve Bank at March 31, 2023.

The Bank has established unsecured lines of credit with Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for $15.0 million and two other financial institutions for $50.0 million. The Company has also established an unsecured line of credit with Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for $7.5 million. The lines of credit provide for overnight borrowing and the interest rate is determined at the time of the borrowing. There were no borrowings outstanding with these lines of credit for both the Company and the Bank at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

On September 17, 2020, the Company entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements with 14 qualified institutional investors, issued at 4.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate due September 17, 2030, in the aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million, carried net of issuance costs of $424,000 amortized over a period of 60 months.  These notes are callable on September 15, 2025.  At March 31, 2023, there were $19.8 million of these Subordinated Note Purchases Agreements outstanding, net of issuance costs.

On September 15, 2021, the Company entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements with 18 qualified institutional investors, issued at 3.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate due September 15, 2031, in the aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million, carried net of issuance costs of $499,000 amortized over a period of 60 months.  These notes are callable on September 15, 2026. At March 31, 2023, there were $29.7 million of these Subordinated Note Purchases Agreements outstanding, net of issuance costs.

At March 31, 2023, there were no other long-term borrowings and therefore no scheduled maturities of long-term borrowings.

EQUITY

Shareholders’ equity increased to $178.7 million at March 31, 2023 from $157.7 million at June 30, 2022, resulting primarily from net income of $24.3 million, partially offset by dividends declared and paid of $1.6 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.7 million. Unrealized loss on available for sale securities increased at March 31, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022, but decreased compared to December 31, 2022 as the yields on bonds improved during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Federal Reserve raised their target benchmark interest rate in 2022 and 2023, resulting in subsequent prime lending rate increases of 475 basis points, and a significant increase in market rates between March 2022 and March 2023. If market interest rates continue to rise, the fair value of the fixed income bond portfolio will decrease, resulting in additional unrealized losses, and depending on the extent of the rise in interest rates, the increase in unrealized losses could be significant. The non-credit portion of unrealized losses are recorded to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, a component of Shareholders' Equity. A significant increase in market rates may have a negative impact on book value per share. The Company's bond portfolio is expected to mature at par and therefore the unrealized losses in the portfolio that result from higher market interest rates will decrease as the bonds become closer to maturity. However, if the Company were required to sell investment securities with an unrealized loss for any reason, including liquidity needs, the unrealized loss would become realized and reduce both net income for the reported period and regulatory capital, which as currently reported, excludes unrealized losses on investment securities.

On September 17, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a stock repurchase program. Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 400,000 shares of its common stock. Repurchases will be made at management’s discretion at prices management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders, subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses for capital, and the Company’s financial performance.  For the three and nine months ending March 31, 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares.

GENERAL

Return on average assets and return on average equity are common methods of measuring operating results. Annualized return on average assets increased to 1.25% for the three months and increased to 1.26% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 1.19% for the three months and 1.21% for the nine months ended March 31, 2022.  Annualized return on average equity increased to 18.61% for the three months and increased to 19.51% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 18.10% for the three months and 18.09% for the nine months ended March 31, 2022.  The increase in return on average assets for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and increase in return on average equity for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily the result of net income outpacing growth in the balance sheet. Net income amounted to $8.1 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of $900,000, or 12.6%, and amounted to $24.3 million and $21.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of $3.1 million, or 14.9%.  Average assets increased $176.5 million, or 7.3%, to $2.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $2.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Average equity increased $15.1 million, or 9.5%, to $173.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $158.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Average assets increased $239.0 million, or 10.3%, to $2.6 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $2.3 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. Average equity increased $10.1 million, or 6.5%, to $166.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $156.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income amounted to $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $6.6 million, or 43.3%. Interest income amounted to $61.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $46.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $14.4 million, or 30.8%. The increase in average balances on loans and securities had the greatest impact on interest income. The rates earned on securities also increased during the comparative periods contributing to higher interest income.

Average loan balances increased $245.3 million and $231.9 million and the yield on loans increased 59 and 13 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in yield on loans for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was partially offset due to the fee income recognized on Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. Excluding the PPP loan fees, loan yields increased 46 basis points when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Average securities decreased $15.1 million and increased $73.1 million and the yield on such securities increased 24 and 55 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  Average interest-bearing bank balances and federal funds decreased $66.0 million and $80.2 million and the yield increased 509 and 381 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense amounted to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $5.5 million, or 450.7%. Interest expense amounted to $14.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $3.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $10.3 million or 272.5%. The increase in average cost of NOW deposits and certificates of deposit had the greatest impact on interest expense during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

The cost of NOW deposits increased 111 and 69 basis points, the cost of certificates of deposit increased 132 and 94 basis points, and the cost of savings and money market deposits increased 6 and 1 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was also due to growth in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $180.9 million and $237.6 million, most notably due to an increase in NOW deposits of $129.6 million and $139.1 million, an increase in average borrowings of $53.3 million and $50.7 million, and an increase in average certificates of deposits of $16.5 million and $26.4 million, when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Yields on interest-earning assets and costs of interest-bearing deposits increased for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, as the Federal Reserve Board raised interest rates throughout the calendar year 2022 and in the first quarter of calendar year 2023.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $1.1 million to $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net interest income increased $4.1 million to $47.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 from $42.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net interest income was the result of growth in the average balance of interest-earning assets, which increased $166.8 million and $227.0 million when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and increases in interest rates on interest-earning assets, which increased 89 and 52 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in net interest income was offset by increases in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, which increased $180.9 million and $237.6 million when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and increases in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which increased 96 and 60 basis points when comparing the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net interest rate spread and margin both decreased when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Net interest rate spread decreased 7 and 8 basis points to 2.31% and 2.43% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 2.38% and 2.51% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. Net interest margin increased 2 basis points to 2.43%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 2.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net interest margin decreased 1 basis point to 2.53% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 2.54% for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease during the current quarter was due to the higher interest rate environment, which resulted in higher rates paid on deposits, resulting in higher interest expense. This was partially offset by increases in interest income on loans and securities, as they reprice at higher yields and the interest rates earned on new balances were higher than the historic low levels.

43

Index

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 2.66% and 2.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and was 2.73% and 2.69% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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.  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 Board has taken a number of measures in an attempt to slow inflation. The Federal Reserve Board changed its Monetary Policy to raise rates in recent quarters. The rise in the federal funds rate has and is expected to continue to have a positive impact to the Company’s interest spread and margin as the rates on new loans and securities purchased are at higher rates than in the prior year, however given how quickly the rate rise has been, it has not allowed the Company to reprice assets as quickly as deposits.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

Provision for loan losses amounted to a benefit of $944,000 and a charge of $163,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and amounted to a benefit of $1.2 million and a charge of $2.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The benefit for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was due to a decrease in the balance and reserve percentage on loans adversely classified, as loans were upgraded due to improvements in credit quality and loans were paid off during the quarter. This was partially offset by the growth in gross loans and increases in qualitative factors in the current quarter related to the economic environment as inflation continues to be high and the impact that higher interest rates have on borrowers. Loans classified as substandard or special mention totaled $36.6 million at March 31, 2023 and $52.1 million at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $15.5 million.  Reserves on loans classified as substandard or special mention totaled $4.8 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $9.6 million at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $4.8 million. There were no loans classified as doubtful or loss at March 31, 2023 or June 30, 2022. Allowance for loan losses to total loans receivable was 1.50% at March 31, 2023 compared to 1.82% at June 30, 2022.

Net charge-offs amounted to $190,000 and $108,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of $82,000. Net charge-offs totaled $407,000 and $360,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were no significant charge offs in any loan segment during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Nonperforming loans amounted to $4.7 million and $6.3 million at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease in nonperforming loans during the period was primarily due to $1.3 million in loan repayments, $134,000 in loans returning to performing status, and $508,000 in charge-offs or transfers to foreclosed, partially offset by $293,000 of loans placed into nonperforming status. At March 31, 2023 nonperforming assets were 0.19% of total assets compared to 0.25% at June 30, 2022. Nonperforming loans were 0.34% and 0.51% of net loans at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Noninterest income increased $154,000, or 5.3%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Noninterest income decreased $20,000, or 0.2%, to $9.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $9.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease for the nine month period was primarily due to a decrease in investment service income and a net loss on sale of available for sale securities. This was partially offset by an increase in debit card fees and service charges on deposit accounts resulting from continued growth in the number of checking accounts with debit cards and the number of deposit accounts, and the income from bank owned life insurance.

Noninterest expense increased $1.5 million, or 18.5%, to $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Noninterest expense increased $4.0 million, or 16.2%, to $28.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $24.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits expense due to new positions created during the period to support the Company’s growth. Other noninterest expense increased for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 due to the Bank of Greene County donating $300,000 to the Bank of Greene County Charitable Foundation during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was also due to a non-recurring litigation reserve expense of $1.2 million.

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 13.7% and 15.0% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, and 15.6% and 15.2% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, 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 decrease in the current quarter’s effective tax rate was the result of an increase in tax-exempt income proportional to total income.

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. The Company’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk since the majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates.  The Company’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, Atlantic Central Bankers Bank and two other financial institutions, 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. At March 31, 2023, the Company had $178.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, representing 6.5% of total assets, and had $281.8 million available in unused lines of credit.

On March 12, 2023, in response to liquidity concerns in the banking system, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Reserve and U.S. Department of Treasury, collaboratively approved certain actions with a stated intention to reduce stress across the financial system, support financial stability and minimize any impact on business, households, taxpayers, and the broader economy. Among other actions, the Federal Reserve Board has created a new Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) to make additional funding available to eligible depository institutions to help assure institutions can meet the needs of their depositors. Eligible institutions may obtain liquidity against a wide range of collateral. BTFP advances can be requested through at least March 11, 2024. The Company has not requested funding through the BTFP as of March 31, 2023, but has an established relationship with the Federal Reserve to take advantage of this program.

In efforts to enhance strong levels of liquidity and to fund strong loan demand, the Bank and Commercial Bank (the “Banks”) accept brokered certificates of deposits, generally in denominations of less than $250 thousand, from national brokerage networks, including IntraFi. Additionally, the Banks participate in the CDARS and the ICS products, which provides for reciprocal (“two-way”) transactions among banks facilitated by IntraFi for the purpose of maximizing FDIC insurance. The Banks are also able to obtain (“one-way”) CDARS and ICS brokered deposits. The Bank and Commercial Bank had no outstanding one-way or two-way, ICS or CDARS transactions with IntraFi as of March 31, 2023.

Index

The Bank and Commercial Bank can place and obtain brokered deposits from a national brokerage network and IntraFi up to 10% of total deposits form each broker based on policy. The Bank has available funds from a national brokerage network in the amount of $247.2 million, which there was $74.6 million outstanding at March 31, 2023. The Banks also have available funds from the IntraFi one-way CDARS and ICS deposits in the amount of $247.2 million, which there was zero outstanding at March 31, 2023. The brokered deposits increased the Company’s overall liquidity and cash position in response to the current turmoil in the banking sector.

At March 31, 2023, liquidity measures were as follows:

Cash equivalents/(deposits plus short term borrowings) 7.21 %
(Cash equivalents plus unpledged securities)/(deposits plus short term borrowings) 9.10 %
(Cash equivalents plus unpledged securities plus additional borrowing capacity)/(deposits plus short term borrowings) 20.51 %

The Company’s unfunded loan commitments and unused lines of credit are as follows at March 31, 2023:

(In thousands)
Unfunded loan commitments $ 96,111
Unused lines of credit 92,108
Standby letters of credit 889
Total commitments $ 189,108

The Company 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 Company also anticipates it will have sufficient liquidity to support the seasonal decline in deposits, typically experienced at the Commercial Bank, through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and into the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

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 in which 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 March 31, 2023 or June 30, 2022.  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. There was no credit exposure associated with risk participations-in as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 due to the recent rise in interest rate. The RPAs participations-ins are spread out over four financial institution counterparties and terms range between 5 to 14 years.

Item 4. 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.
