Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The condensed consolidated financial statements of SR Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis and include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Somerset Regal Bank (the “Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Somerset Investment Co. (the “Investment Co.”), RB Properties, LLC and Somerset Consumer Service Corp. (“SCS”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated from the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Investment Co. is a special purpose entity subject to the investment company provisions of the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax Act whose activities are limited to holding investment securities and recognizing income and other gains/losses thereon. RB Properties, LLC was formed to own and manage real estate property acquired through foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure in connection with loans. RB Properties, LLC is currently inactive. SCS has had limited activity.

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2024, the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, are unaudited. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2024 was derived from the audited Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of that date.

On July 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326: Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC Topic 326”), which replaces the Company’s Allowance for Loan Losses policy under the incurred loss model, and adoption of ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”) and Vintage Disclosures, which replaces the Company’s TDR accounting model policy, which are both discussed below in Recently Adopted Accounting Standards. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended December 31, 2024.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures which are generally routine and recurring in nature and necessary for a fair statement of interim results have been made. In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change are: the allowance for credit losses; the evaluation of goodwill for impairment; and the valuation of our deferred tax. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period they are deemed necessary. While management uses its best judgment, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions for the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and industry practice have been condensed or omitted from interim reporting pursuant to SEC rules. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year or for any other period. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were available to be issued. Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Conversion, Stock Offering and Merger

The conversion of Somerset Savings Bank, SLA from the mutual to stock form of organization and related stock offering by the Company, the holding company for Somerset Savings Bank, SLA, was completed on September 19, 2023. The Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “SRBK” on September 20, 2023.

The Company sold 9,055,172 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, which included 760,634 shares sold to Somerset Regal Bank’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Additionally, the Company contributed 452,758 shares and $905,517 in cash to the Somerset Regal Charitable Foundation, Inc., a charitable foundation formed in connection with the conversion. Upon the completion of the conversion and offering, 9,507,930 shares of Company common stock were outstanding.

Promptly following the completion of the conversion and related stock offering, Regal Bancorp, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Regal Bancorp”), merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, Regal Bank, a New Jersey chartered commercial bank headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Regal Bancorp, merged with and into Somerset Bank, which had converted into a commercial bank charter, and was renamed Somerset Regal Bank (the “Bank”). In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of Regal Bancorp common stock converted into the right to receive $23.00 in cash. The Merger was completed on September 19, 2023. The accounts and operations of Regal Bancorp and Regal Bank are included in these consolidated financial statements since the Merger on September 19, 2023.

Business

SR Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is the holding company for Somerset Regal Bank. The Bank, which was formed in 1887, serves Essex, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset and Union counties in New Jersey. The Bank is a New Jersey chartered commercial bank subject to the laws and regulations of federal and state agencies. As a locally managed commercial bank, the Bank provides customary retail and commercial banking services to individuals, businesses and local municipalities through its 14 full-service branch locations.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company's lending activity is concentrated in loans secured by real estate located primarily in the State of New Jersey. Credit risk exposure in this area of lending is mitigated by adhering to conservative underwriting practices and policies, and close monitoring of the loan portfolio. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.

Notes 4 discusses the types of investment securities in which the Company invests. Credit risk as it relates to investment activities is mitigated through the monitoring of ratings. The Company's portfolio consists principally of highly-rated government-sponsored agency securities.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

The Company adopted ASC 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)", ASC 326 on July 1, 2023. The transition to the new ASU resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for credit losses of $47,000, an increase in deferred tax assets of $13,000, and a decrease in retained earnings of $34,000 as of the adoption date. The impact of the reserve for unfunded liabilities to the consolidated financial statements was not material. The Company did not record an allowance for held-to-maturity securities on July 1, 2023 as the investment portfolio consisted almost entirely of highly rated government-sponsored agency securities, for which credit risk was deemed negligible. The impact of this ASU could change in the future depending on the composition, characteristics, and credit quality of the securities portfolio as well as the economic conditions at future reporting periods. The following table below presents the impact of ASC 326 on the consolidated balance sheet:

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures". This standard eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors and enhances disclosure requirements for certain loan restructurings when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. For public business entities, these amendments require that an entity disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Gross charge-off information must be included in the vintage disclosures required for public business entities in accordance with paragraph 326-20-50-6, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination. ASU No. 2022-02 was effective for the Company on July 1, 2023.

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". The amendments in this ASU require improved reportable segment information on an annual and interim basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". The amendments in this ASU require improved annual income tax disclosures surrounding rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, and other disclosures. This update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2024-01, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards" ("ASU 2024-01"), clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is within the scope of Topic 718 or is not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. ASU 2024-01 provides an illustrative example with multiple fact patterns and also amends certain language in the "Scope" and "Scope Exceptions" sections of Topic 718 to improve its clarity and operability without changing the guidance. Entities can apply the amendments either retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

or modified on or after the date of adoption. If prospective application is elected, an entity must disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. ASU 2024-01 is effective January 1, 2025, including interim periods, and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2024-02, "Codification Improvements" ("ASU 2024-02"), amends the Codification to remove references to various concept statements and impacts a variety of topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance, but in most instances the references removed are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, the amendments in ASU 2024-02 are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. ASU 2024-02 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2025, and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures" ("ASU 2024-03"), requires additional expense disclosures by public entities in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 outlines the specific costs that are required to be disclosed, which include costs such as: employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, selling costs and depreciation. It also requires qualitative descriptions of the amounts remaining in the relevant income statement captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively in the notes to the financial statements and the entity's definition of selling expenses. The disclosures are required for each interim and annual reporting period. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. In January 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-01, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Clarifying the Effective Date" ("ASU 2025-01"), clarifying the interim reporting date when an entity must adopt ASU 2024-03. According to ASU 2025-01, ASU 2024-03 is effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through February 14, 2025, the date consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

2.Business Combination

On September 19, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Regal Bancorp and Regal Bank, under which Regal Bancorp merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the resulting entity. Immediately following the Merger, Regal Bank merged with and into Somerset Bank, which had converted to a commercial bank charter, with Somerset Bank as the surviving entity, and was renamed Somerset Regal Bank. In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of Regal Bancorp common stock converted into the right to receive $23.00 in cash.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their fair values as of September 19, 2023 based on management’s best estimate using the information available as of the merger date. The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $20.4 million and a core deposit intangible of $9.1 million. Accounting guidance provides that an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period, which ran through September 19, 2024. The acquirer must record in the financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization or other income effects, if any, as a result of the changes to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The following table sets forth assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Regal Bancorp, at their estimated fair values as of the closing date of the transaction:

  • Adjustment for interest rate and credit risk to reduce loans to fair value, to be amortized as an increase to interest income over their remaining term.
  • Elimination of Regal Bank allowance for loan losses.
  • Elimination of pre-existing goodwill.
  • Recording of new intangible asset for the fair value of core deposits, to be amortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated average life of the deposit base.
  • Elimination of pre-existing intangible asset for the fair value of core deposits.
  • Elimination of deferred costs.
  • Recording of the deferred income tax effects of fair value adjustments.
  • Adjustment to reduce time deposits to fair value, to be amortized as an increase to interest expense over their remaining term.
  • Final adjustments of income taxes, other assets and other liabilities.

During the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded one-time merger-related expenses of $3.9 million in the consolidated statements of income (loss), consisting of $2.6 million for change in control payments, $612,000 for investment banking services, $414,000 related to the termination of a data processing contract, $99,000 for legal related expenses, $42,000 for severance payments, $17,000 in other professional services and $30,000 in other miscellaneous expenses. In addition, the Company recorded a $4.2 million provision for estimated credit losses in connection with the acquired loan portfolio.

The fair value of loans acquired from Regal Bank was estimated using cash flow projections based on the remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows were adjusted by estimating future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate

SR Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for similar loans. There was no carryover of Regal Bank’s allowance for credit losses associated with the loans that were acquired. The core deposit intangible asset recognized is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 10 years utilizing the sum-of-the-years digits method. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the Company recognizes amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair value. At June 30, 2024, the Company finalized its review of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and did not record any further adjustments to the carrying value.

The fair value of retail demand and interest-bearing deposit accounts was assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits was estimated by discounting the contractual future cash flows using market rates offered for time deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of borrowings was based on the FHLB calculation to prepay borrowings with associated penalties.

3.Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been calculated in a manner similar to that of basic earnings per share except that weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potential dilutive common shares (such as those resulting from the exercise of stock options and vested restricted stock awards) were issued during the period, computed using the treasury stock method. Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

The following table presents the composition of the weighted average common shares used in the earnings per share calculation:

On a quarterly basis, management evaluates whether there is a credit loss associated with any declines in fair value. Management considers the nature of the collateral, default rates, delinquency rates, credit ratings and interest rate changes, among other factors. However, the Company has determined that highly rated issues and mortgage-backed securities of U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies have a zero expected credit loss.

The Company engages primarily in the lending of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans. Lending activities are targeted to individuals within the Company's geographic footprint. Risks associated with lending activities include economic conditions and changes in interest rates, which can adversely impact both the ability of borrowers to repay their loans and the value of the associated collateral. Credit risk exposure is minimized by the evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower, including debt-to-income ratios, credit scores and conservative underwriting standards with loan-to-value ratios of generally no more than 75% for commercial loans, 80% for multifamily loans and 80% for residential loans. Residential mortgage loans granted in excess of the 80% loan-to-value ratio criterion generally require private mortgage insurance. The real estate home equity portfolio consists of fixed-rate home equity loans and variable-rate home equity lines of credit. Risks associated with second lien loans secured by residential properties are generally lower than commercial loans and include general economic risks, such as the strength of the job market, employment stability and the strength of the housing market.

At December 31, 2024, commercial loans represented 45.2% of total loans receivable, net, while residential mortgage, consumer and other loans represented 54.8%, nearly all of which is concentrated within our primary market area in New Jersey. The Company holds 96.7% of its commercial loan portfolio in commercial real estate, consisting of multi-family, mixed use and owner occupied loans, with less than 1% secured by office buildings. At December 31, 2024, the Company had no non-accrual commercial loans.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

11.Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

At December 31, 2024, total unfunded loan-related commitments, including lines of credit, amounted to $58.6 million, comprised of $36.5 million for unused equity lines of credit and $22.1 million to originate and purchase loans, expiring within three months.

At June 30, 2024, total unfunded loan-related commitments, including lines of credit, amounted to $72.1 million, comprised of $36.1 million for unused equity lines of credit and $36.0 million to originate and purchase loans, expiring within three months.

Commitments to extend 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 drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

A reserve for unfunded commitments is recognized and included in other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Periodic adjustments to either increase or decrease the reserve are recognized in non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded $37,000 and $0 expense for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The balance for unfunded commitments was $37,000 at December 31, 2024 and $0 at June 30, 2024.

12.Stock-Based Compensation

On November 20, 2024, the Company adopted the SR Bancorp, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan ("2024 Equity Plan”). The 2024 Equity Plan authorizes 1,331,110 shares of common stock for equity-based compensation awards including restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options, and incentive stock options. As of December 31, 2024, there were 998,340 shares available for future grants.

Stock Options

On November 21, 2024, the Company granted 237,695 stock options to non-employee directors with a contractual term of 10 years. The stock options vest in equal annual installments over a five-year period. The fair

  • Expected volatility is based on the standard deviation of the historical volatility of the daily adjusted closing price of a group of peers' shares
  • Expected term represents the period of time that the option is expected to be outstanding, determined using the "Simplified Method"
  • Expected dividend yield is determined based on management's expectations regarding issuing dividends in the foreseeable future.
  • The risk-free rate of return is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for a period equivalent to the expected term of the option

Restricted Stock Awards

On November 21, 2024, the Company granted 95,075 restricted stock awards to non-employee directors. The restricted stock awards vest in equal annual installments over a five-year period. The restricted stock awards are measured based on grant-date fair value, which reflects the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

13.Regulatory Capital

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total capital, Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. A capital conservation buffer of 2.50%, comprised of common equity Tier I capital, is also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements and must be maintained to avoid limitations on capital distributions.

SR Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In 2021, the Bank adopted the new community bank leverage ratio framework. This framework simplifies the regulatory capital requirements by requiring the Bank to meet only the Tier 1 capital to average assets (leverage) ratio. The Bank must only maintain a leverage ratio greater than the 9.0% required minimum to be considered well capitalized under this framework. The Bank can opt out of the new framework and return to the risk-weighting framework at any time.

Market risk, credit risk, operational risk and deposit outflows are some of the factors that can impact the capital adequacy ratio and in turn, adversely affect the performance of the Bank. As of December 31, 2024, management believes that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 2024, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are as follows:

14.Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The Company’s securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A three-level hierarchy has been established for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability.

Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument;

Level 3 - Valuation is derived from model-based and other techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and which may be based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that a market participant would use to value the asset or liability.

The Company's available-for-sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value on a recurring basis, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The securities available-for-sale portfolio consists of U.S. government-sponsored enterprise and mortgage-backed securities. The fair values of these securities were obtained from an independent nationally recognized pricing service. The independent pricing service provided prices categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the securities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used are as follows:

December 31, 2024
Description (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total
(In thousands)
Equity securities 30 — — 30
Total $ 30 $ — $ — $ 30

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Description (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total
(In thousands)
Equity securities 25 — — 25
Total $ 25 $ — $ — $ 25

The classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Other securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets and are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy. The estimated fair values of equity securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized exchanges (Level 1 inputs).

All debt securities are measured at fair value using matrix pricing, 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 and are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

There were no transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The following tables present those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, and additional quantitative information about the valuation techniques and inputs utilized to determine fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments not Carried at Fair Value

The Company discloses fair value information about financial assets, whether or not recognized in the statements of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair value of financial assets that are not measured at fair value in the financial statements were based on the exit price notion. The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, the estimates below are not necessarily indicative of amounts that could be realized in the marketplace. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

For financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 were as follows:

Loans

The fair values of performing loans was estimated by segregating the portfolio into its primary loan categories—owner occupied commercial real estate, other commercial real estate, multi-family, commercial and industrial, residential and consumer. These categories were further disaggregated based upon significant financial characteristics such as type of interest rate (fixed/variable). The Company discounts the contractual cash flows for each loan category using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar quality and incorporates estimates of future loan prepayments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no defined maturities (e.g. demand deposits, interest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts and savings accounts) is the amount payable on demand of the liabilities at the reporting date (i.e. their carrying amounts). This approach to estimating fair value excludes the significant benefit that results from the low -cost funding provided by such deposit liabilities, as compared to alternative sources of funding. Deposits with stated maturities (time deposits) have been valued using the present value of cash flows discounted at rates approximating the current market for similar deposits.

Borrowed Funds

The fair value of federal funds purchased is equal to the amount borrowed. The fair value of FRB or FHLB advances represents contractual repayments discounted using interest rates currently available for borrowings with similar characteristics and remaining maturities. The discount rates used are representative of approximate rates currently offered on borrowings with similar characteristics and maturities.

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

The following management discussion and analysis of the Company’s consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2024 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements, including notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the other information therein. The Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2024, the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, are unaudited. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2024 was derived from the audited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition that was included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024. The consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of such data. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Bank” and “the Company” refer to SR Bancorp, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise noted.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “target” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

  • statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
  • statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
  • statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
  • estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this report.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

  • general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected, including potential recessionary conditions;

  • inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins and yields, the fair value of financial instruments or our level of loan originations, or increase the level of defaults, losses and prepayments on loans we have made and make;

  • our ability to integrate the operations of Regal Bank into Somerset Regal Bank in a timely and cost efficient manner;

  • our inability to successfully integrate acquired employees or operations or achieve the expected level of synergies or cost savings;

  • changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of and the methodology calculating the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses;

  • our ability to access cost-effective funding;

  • changes in liquidity, including the size and composition of our deposit portfolio and the percentage of uninsured deposits in the portfolio;

  • fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions;

  • demand for loans and deposits in our market area;

  • our ability to implement and change our business strategy;

  • competition among depository and other financial institutions;

  • adverse changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets;

  • changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees, capital requirements and insurance premiums or changes in the fiscal or monetary policies of the U.S. Treasury or Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System;

  • the imposition of tariffs or other domestic or international governmental policies;

  • changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios;

  • technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected;

  • the inability of third-party providers to perform as expected;

  • a failure or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, including cyberattacks;

  • our ability to manage market risk, credit risk and operational risk;

  • changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

  • changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

  • the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, terrorism or other geopolitical event;

  • our ability to retain key employees;

  • our compensation expense associated with equity allocated or awarded to our employees; and

  • changes in the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own.

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operation, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances that could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document.

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we plan to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

Management believes our most critical accounting policies, which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments, are as follows: the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the assessment of the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and the valuation of our deferred tax assets.

Allowance for Credit Losses: The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”), calculated in accordance with ASC 326, is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans. The ACL represents an amount that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb the lifetime expected credit losses that may be experienced on outstanding loans at the balance sheet date based on the evaluation of the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions and prepayment experience. The allowance for credit losses is measured and recorded upon the initial recognition of a financial asset. Determination of the adequacy of the allowance is inherently complex and requires the use of significant and highly subjective estimates. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when deemed uncollectible by management. Adjustments to the allowance are reported in our income statement as a component of the provision for credit losses.

In calculating the allowance for credit losses, loans are segmented into pools based upon similar characteristics and risk profiles. Common characteristics and risk profiles include the type of loan, underlying collateral, geographical similarity and historical or expected credit loss patterns. The Company applies two methodologies to estimate the allowance on its pooled portfolio segments: a cohort method based on common characteristics and the weighted average remaining life method. The models related to these methodologies utilize the Company’s historical default and loss experience adjusted for future economic forecasts. The reasonable and supportable forecast period represents a one-year economic outlook for the applicable economic variables.

In some cases, management may determine that an individual loan exhibits unique risk characteristics that differentiate the loan from other loans within our loan pools. In such cases, the loans are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. Specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses are determined by analyzing, among other things, the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk rating of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower.

Management qualitatively adjusts model results for risk factors that are not considered within our modeling processes but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within our loan pools. These qualitative factor adjustments may increase or decrease management’s estimate of expected credit losses by a calculated percentage or amount based upon the estimated level of risk. The various risks that may be considered in making qualitative factor adjustments include, among other things: the impact of changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and practices for collections, write-offs, and recoveries; actual and expected changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the loan pools; changes in the composition and size of the loan portfolio and in the terms of the underlying loans; changes in the experience, ability, and depth of our lending management and staff; changes in volume and severity of past due and nonaccrual assets; changes to the quality of our internal loan review system; the existence, growth, and effect of any concentrations of credit; and regulatory, legal and environmental events. Management believes it uses relevant information available to make determinations about the allowance and that it has established the existing allowance in accordance with GAAP. However, the determination of the allowance requires significant judgment, and estimates of expected lifetime losses in the loan portfolio can vary significantly from the amounts actually observed. While management uses available information to recognize expected losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in the loans comprising the portfolio, changes in the current and forecasted economic conditions, changes to the interest rate environment and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Our intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill and core deposit intangibles. The initial recording of goodwill and other intangible assets requires subjective judgments concerning estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual tests for impairment, or more often if events or circumstances indicate it may be impaired. We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment as a part of the annual impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or if we elect not to perform a qualitative assessment, then we would be required to perform a quantitative test for goodwill impairment. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit less than the carrying value, goodwill is impaired and is written down to its estimated fair value.

During the year ended June 30, 2024, we performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill. Based on that assessment, we determined that it was more likely than not that the reporting unit's fair value was not less than its carrying amount. We concluded that our goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, no triggering events were identified and therefore, we did not perform an interim impairment evaluation.

Core deposit intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis using an estimated life of ten years. The core deposit intangibles are evaluated annually for impairment in accordance with GAAP. An impairment loss will be recognized if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The carrying amount of the intangible asset is not considered recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset.

Deferred Tax Assets: Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced by a valuation allowance for the amount of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

We recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in other operating expenses.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024

Total Assets. Total assets increased $43.7 million, or 4.3%, to $1.06 billion at December 31, 2024 from $1.02 billion at June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by new loan originations, resulting in a net increase of $43.9 million in loans receivable and a $7.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $7.5 million, or 16.4%, to $53.4 million at December 31, 2024 from $45.9 million at June 30, 2024, due to the maturity of securities.

Securities. Securities held-to-maturity decreased $7.3 million, or 4.7%, to $148.8 million at December 31, 2024 from $156.1 million at June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to principal repayments and maturities.

Loans. Loans receivable, net, increased $43.9 million, or 6.0%, to $775.8 million at December 31, 2024 from $731.9 million at June 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in residential mortgage loans of $19.7 million and an increase in commercial loans of $23.4 million. Commercial loans (consisting of multi-family and commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans) accounted for 45.2% of loans at December 31, 2024. For further information about our loans, see "Lending Activities" below.

Bank Owned Life Insurance. Bank owned life insurance increased $524,000, or 1.4%, to $37.6 million at December 31, 2024 from $37.1 million at June 30, 2024.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill and the core deposit intangible asset recognized from the Merger totaled $27.4 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $28.1 million at June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to the amortization of the core deposit intangible.

Total Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $45.0 million, or 5.5%, to $866.4 million at December 31, 2024 from $821.4 million at June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $30.0 million advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and a $17.0 million increase in deposits.

Deposits. Deposits increased $17.0 million, or 2.1%, to $824.1 million at December 31, 2024 from $807.1 million at June 30, 2024 due primarily to increases in interest-bearing checking accounts that were offset by decreases in non-maturity savings accounts due in part to the Bank having raised rates on certain interest-bearing deposit products in an effort to remain competitive in the market area. At December 31, 2024, $95.0 million, or 11.5%, of total deposits consisted of noninterest-bearing deposits. At December 31, 2024, $128.3 million, or 15.6%, of total deposits were uninsured.

Borrowings. During the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Bank borrowed $30.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York to provide additional liquidity to fund new loans. Such borrowings remained outstanding at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings.

Total Equity. Total equity decreased $1.3 million, or 0.7%, to $198.1 million at December 31, 2024 from $199.5 million at June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of 347,057 shares of common stock at a cost of $3.9 million, partially offset by net earnings of $2.4 million.

Lending Activities

We offer a variety of loans, including residential, commercial real estate, multi-family, commercial and industrial and consumer loans. Historically, a significant portion of our loan portfolio was concentrated in residential loans. The Merger greatly expanded our commercial loan portfolio and commercial lending capabilities. At December 31, 2024, residential mortgage loans comprised 53.2% of our total loan portfolio and commercial loans comprised 45.2%, which largely consisted of multi-family loans.

In the future, we intend to continue to concentrate on ways to compete for a greater share of commercial loan originations in our primary market area.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets

When a loan is 15 days past due, we send the borrower a late charge notice. If the loan delinquency is not corrected, other forms of collections are implemented, including telephone calls and collection letters. We attempt personal, direct contact with the borrower to determine the reason for the delinquency, to ensure that the borrower understands the terms of the loan and to emphasize the importance of making timely payments. If necessary, subsequent late charges and delinquency notices are issued and the account will be monitored on a regular basis thereafter. By the 90th day of delinquency, we will send the borrower a final demand for payment, after which we may refer the loan to legal counsel to commence foreclosure proceedings. Any of our loan officers can shorten these time frames in consultation with the senior lending officer.

Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status when payment of principal or interest is 90 days or more delinquent unless the loan is considered well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans are also placed on non-accrual status if collection of principal or interest in full is in doubt. When loans are placed on a non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received. The loan may be returned to accrual status if both principal and interest payments are brought current and factors indicating doubtful collection no longer exist, including performance by the borrower under the loan terms for a six-month period. Our Senior Mortgage Lending Officer reports monitored loans, including all loans rated special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss, to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. In addition, management presents a quarterly credit loss allowance analysis to our Board of Directors.

The following table sets forth our loan delinquencies by type and amount at the dates indicated.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Our allowance for credit losses ("ACL") is maintained at a level necessary to absorb credit losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Management, in determining the allowance for credit losses, considers the losses in our loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan activities, along with the general economic and real estate market conditions. A description of our methodology in establishing our allowance for credit losses is set forth in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of SR Bancorp—Critical Accounting Policies-Allowance for Credit Losses” in our Form 10-K as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 were maintained at levels that represent management’s best estimate of current expected losses in the loan portfolio. However, this analysis process is inherently subjective, as it requires us to make estimates that are susceptible to revisions as more information becomes available. Although we believe that we have established the allowance at levels to absorb current expected losses, future additions may be necessary if economic or other conditions in the future differ from the current environment.

In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance have authority to periodically review our allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require that we recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

The following table sets forth activity in our allowance for credit losses for the years indicated.

Investment Activities

General. The goals of our investment policy are to maximize portfolio yield over the long term in a manner that is consistent with minimizing risk, and to meet liquidity needs, pledging requirements, and asset/liability management and interest rate risk strategies. We monitor the balance of our investment securities portfolio based on loan demand, our interest rate risk analysis and our liquidity needs.

At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, our investment portfolio consisted of securities held-to-maturity, primarily of securities and obligations issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, subordinated debentures issued by financial institutions in the Mid-Atlantic region, collateralized mortgage obligations and foreign government bonds.

The amortized cost and approximate fair values of securities held-to-maturity at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 are as follows:

Deposit Accounts. Deposits are primarily attracted from within our market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments, including noninterest-bearing demand deposits (such as checking accounts), interest-bearing demand accounts (such as NOW accounts), savings accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, we held $30.0 million and $22.2 million, respectively, of accounts from a variety of local municipal relationships. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, we had no brokered deposits.

We also offer a variety of deposit accounts designed for the businesses operating in our market area. Our business banking deposit products include a business checking account designed for small businesses, savings and money market accounts. We offer bill payment services through our online banking system.

Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the terms of our deposit accounts, we consider the rates offered by our competition, the rates on borrowings, our liquidity needs, profitability to us, and customer preferences and concerns. We generally review our deposit mix and pricing weekly. Our deposit pricing strategy has generally been to offer competitive rates on all types of deposit products, and to periodically offer special rates to attract deposits of a specific type or term.

The following table sets forth the distribution of total deposits by account type at the dates indicated.

As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of uninsured deposits (deposits in amounts greater than $250,000, which is the maximum amount for federal deposit insurance), was $128.3 million and $109.7 million, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of all our uninsured certificates of deposit was $25.4 million and $21.9 million, respectively. We have no deposits that are uninsured for any reason other than being in excess of the maximum amount for federal deposit insurance.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

General. Net income decreased $586,000 to $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from net income of $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2024 included $791,000 of net accretion income related to fair value adjustments resulting from the Merger. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2023 included $32,000 of merger-related costs, offset by $1.4 million of net accretion income related to fair value adjustments.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $741,000, or 6.0%, to $11.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $12.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 due to a 26 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets and a $7.3 million decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The decrease resulted from a $727,000, or 58.3%, decrease in interest income on interest bearing deposits at other banks due to lower average yields and balances and a $266,000 decrease in interest income on securities, partially offset by a $252,000 increase in interest on loans driven by an increase in volume, offset by a decrease in the average yield. The decrease in interest income on securities was due to a $48.2 million decrease in the average balance of securities resulting primarily from the sale of $35.4 million of lower-yielding securities in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 as part of a balance sheet repositioning and a 16 basis point decrease in the yield.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.0 million or 31.8%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 due to a $984,000 increase in interest expense on deposits, and a $55,000 increase in interest expense on borrowings. Interest expense on interest-bearing demand deposits increased $908,000 due to an increase of $89.3 million, or 46.0%, in the average balance and an increase of 106 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.75% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from 0.69% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 as the Bank raised rates on certain interest-bearing deposit products in an effort to remain competitive in the market area. Interest expense on certificates of deposit increased $96,000 as the average rate on certificates of deposit increased 10 basis points to 3.96% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from 3.86% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 due to the highly competitive interest rate environment in our market area. The average balance of certificates of deposit also increased $2.9 million, or 1.1%, to $277.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $274.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $1.8 million, or 19.7%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $9.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Net interest rate spread decreased 81 basis points to 2.27% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from 3.08% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Net interest margin decreased 68 basis points to 2.88% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from 3.56% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Net interest-earning assets decreased $9.9 million, or 3.6%, to $265.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $275.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in the Bank’s net interest rate spread and net

interest margin were primarily a result of the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing while the yield on interest-earning assets decreased.

Average Balances and Yields

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following tables present the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of these tables, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume. There were no out-of-period items or adjustments required to be excluded from the tables below.

Provision for Credit Losses. We establish provisions for credit losses, which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level necessary to absorb credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for credit losses, we consider, among other things, loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current and reasonably supportable economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of delinquent loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or conditions change. We assess the allowance for credit losses and make provisions for credit losses on a monthly basis.

The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $12,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to a recovery of $107,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The Bank had no charge-offs for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and no non-performing loans at December 31, 2024 compared to no charge-offs for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and $145,000 of non-performing loans at December 31, 2023. The Bank’s allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.65% at December 31, 2024 compared to 0.74% at December 31, 2023.

Other expenses 782 991 (209 ) (21.1 )%
Total noninterest expense $ 6,509 $ 7,476 $ (967 ) (12.9 )%

Noninterest expense decreased $967,000, or 12.9%, to $6.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $7.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of a $509,000, or 13.1%, decrease in salaries and employee benefits and a $173,000, or 27.3%, decrease in data processing expense.

Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes was $324,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to an expense of $408,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The Bank’s effective tax rate was 24.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to 20.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

General. Net income increased $11.3 million, or 126.9%, to $2.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from a net loss of $8.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2024 included $1.8 million of net accretion income related to fair value adjustments resulting from the Merger. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2023 included a $5.4 million charitable contribution and $3.9 million of merger-related costs, offset by $1.6 million of net accretion income related to fair value adjustments.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $5.2 million, or 29.1%, to $23.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from $17.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 due to a $144.9 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a 43 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets. The increase resulted from a $6.8 million, or 48.7%, increase in interest income on loans due to the increased size of the loan portfolio as a result of the Merger as well as a higher average yield on the loan portfolio due to higher market rates and increased proportion of higher-yielding commercial real estate loans. The increase in interest on loans was offset by a $463,000 decrease in interest income on securities, and a $1.1 million decrease in interest income from other interest-earning assets due to a lower average yield and lower average balance. The decrease in interest income on securities was primarily due to a $48.5 million decrease in the average balance of securities resulting primarily from the sale of $35.4 million of lower-yielding securities in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 as part of a balance sheet repositioning.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $3.5 million, or 75.3%, to $8.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from $4.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to a $3.5 million increase in interest expense on deposits. Interest expense on interest-bearing demand deposits increased $1.8 million due to an increase of $111.1 million in the average balance and an increase of 110 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.56% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from 0.46% for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Interest expense on certificates of deposit increased $1.8 million as the average rate on certificates of deposit increased 66 basis points to 3.97% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from 3.31% for the six months ended December 31, 2023 due to the highly competitive interest rate environment in our market area. The average balance of certificates of deposit also increased $51.5 million, or 22.8%, to $277.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from $225.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.7 million, or 12.7%, to $14.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from $13.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Net interest rate spread decreased 30 basis points to 2.39% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from 2.69% for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Net interest margin decreased 12 basis points to 2.98% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from 3.10% for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Net interest-earning assets increased $35.9 million, or 15.7%, to $263.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from $228.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The decreases in the Bank’s net interest rate spread and net interest margin were primarily a result of the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing at a higher rate than the yield on interest-earning assets.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following tables present the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of these tables, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume. There were no out-of-period items or adjustments required to be excluded from the tables below.

Provision for Credit Losses. The Bank recorded a recovery for credit losses of $142,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to a provision for credit losses of $4.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The recovery reflects updates made to model assumptions in the calculation of the Bank's allowance for credit losses. The Bank had no charge-offs during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and no non-performing loans at December 31, 2024 compared to no charge-offs for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and $145,000 of non-performing loans at December 31, 2023. The Bank’s allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.65% at December 31, 2024 compared to 0.74% at December 31, 2023.

Noninterest expense decreased $7.2 million, or 35.4%, to $13.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from $20.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of a $5.4 million decrease in other expenses due to the $5.4 million charitable contribution made during the six months ended December 31, 2023, a $1.8 million, or 21.5%, decrease in salaries and employee benefits resulting from one-time change in control payments incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2023 and a $352,000 decrease in data processing expense due to a $414,000 early termination fee incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2023, all related to the Merger.

Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes was $687,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to a benefit of $1.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The Bank’s effective tax rate was 22.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 compared to 14.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2023.

Market Risk

General. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Our ALCO/Investment Committee, which consists of members of management, is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by our Board of Directors. We currently utilize a third-party modeling program, prepared on a quarterly basis, to evaluate our sensitivity to changing interest rates.

We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:

  • growing transaction deposit accounts;

  • rebalancing our loan portfolio to include higher-yielding, shorter-term commercial real estate loans;

  • utilizing our investment securities portfolio as part of our balance sheet asset and liability and interest rate risk management strategy to reduce the impact of movements in interest rates on net interest income and economic value of equity; and

  • continuing to price our one-to-four family residential real estate loan products in a way that encourages borrowers to select our adjustable-rate loans as opposed to longer-term, fixed-rate loans.

By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to changes in market interest rates.

We generally do not engage in hedging activities, such as engaging in futures or options, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage-backed securities.

Economic Value of Equity. We compute amounts by which the net present value of our cash flow from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (economic value of equity “EVE”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. We measure potential change in our EVE through the use of a financial model. This model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100-basis point increase in the “Basis Point Change in Interest Rates” column below.

The table below sets forth, as of December 31, 2024, the calculation of the estimated changes in our EVE that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

At December 31, 2024
Change in Interest Rates Estimated Increase (Decrease) in EVE
(basis points)(1) Estimated EVE(2) Amount Percent
(In thousands)
+200 $ 153,595 $ (38,639 ) (20.10 )%
+100 177,248 (14,986 ) (7.80 )%
— 192,234 — —
-100 202,714 10,480 5.45 %
-200 208,914 16,680 8.68 %
-300 211,559 19,325 10.05 %
-400 211,353 19,119 9.95 %
  • Assumes an immediate uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.
  • EVE is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts.

The table above indicates that at December 31, 2024, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 20.10% decrease in EVE, and in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 8.68% increase in EVE.

Change in Net Interest Income. The following table sets forth, at December 31, 2024, the calculation of the estimated changes in our net interest income (“NII”) that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

At December 31, 2024
Change in Interest<br>Rates (basis<br>points)(1) Net Interest<br>Income Year 1<br>Forecast Year 1<br>Change<br>From Level Net Interest<br>Income Year 2<br>Forecast Year 2<br>Change<br>From Level
(In thousands)
+200 $ 28,987 $ (2,537 ) $ 34,011 $ (1,080 )
+100 31,857 333 36,386 1,294
— 31,524 — 35,091 —
-100 30,413 (1,112 ) 32,148 (2,944 )
-200 29,050 (2,474 ) 28,662 (6,430 )
-300 27,375 (4,149 ) 24,619 (10,472 )
-400 25,366 (6,158 ) 20,034 (15,058 )

The table above indicates that at December 31, 2024, we would have experienced an 8.05% decrease in NII in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in market interest rates and an 7.85% decrease in NII in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The above table assumes that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the date indicated remains constant uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our NPV and will differ from actual results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to fund assets and meet obligations as they come due. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, and repayments from investment securities. In addition, we have the ability to borrow in the wholesale markets or from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We seek to maintain a ratio of liquid assets (including cash and federal funds sold) as a percentage of total deposits ranging between 4% and 30%. At December 31, 2024, this ratio was 6.5% We believe that we have sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of December 31, 2024.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of:

  • expected loan demand;
  • expected deposit flows;
  • yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and
  • the objectives of our asset/liability management program.

Excess cash is invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $53.4 million.

At December 31, 2024, we had $58.6 million in outstanding loan commitments and $36.5 million of unused lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2024 totaled $250.3 million, or 30.4%, of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan sales, other deposit products, including replacement certificates of deposit, brokered deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) or advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and other borrowing sources. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or after December 31, 2025. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our primary investing activities are originating and purchasing loans and purchasing mortgage-backed securities. During the six months ended December 31, 2024, we originated $61.3 million of loans and purchased $25.2 million. We had no purchases of securities classified as held-to-maturity during the six months ended December 31, 2024.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts, borrowings and repurchases of common stock. Deposits increased $17.0 million, or 2.1%, to $824.1 million at December 31, 2024 from $807.1 million at June 30, 2024 due primarily to increases in interest-bearing checking accounts that were offset by decreases in non-maturity savings accounts due in part to the Bank having raised rates on certain interest-bearing deposit products in an effort to remain competitive in the market area.

We had outstanding borrowings of $30.0 million as of December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings. We repurchased $3.9 million of our common stock in the six-month period ended December 31, 2024.

Somerset Regal Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At December 31, 2024, Somerset Regal Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Somerset Regal Bank is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See Note 13 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The net proceeds from the offering significantly increased our capital resources. Our financial condition and results of operations were enhanced by the net proceeds from the offering, resulting in increased net interest-earning assets and net interest income. However, due to the increase in equity resulting from the net proceeds raised in the offering, our return on equity was adversely affected following the offering until such excess funds can be deployed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike

industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than the effects of inflation.

For information regarding material risk, see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Market Risk.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is responsible for the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be so disclosed by an issuer is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits against us, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which we hold security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to our business. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes in risk factors applicable to the Company from those disclosed in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
