Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“Our first quarter results reflect the continued strength and momentum of our business model. Driven by disciplined balance sheet management and continued growth across our core client base, we delivered diluted earnings per share of $2.92, strong core margin expansion, and solid returns on equity. Net interest income increased more than 28% year over year, reflecting disciplined loan pricing, funding mix optimization, and consistent execution in a dynamic interest-rate environment.

Loan and deposit growth was robust during the quarter, highlighting the durability of our franchise and the deepened relationships we continue to build with our clients. Total loans increased to $7.0 billion, while deposits grew to $7.7 billion, demonstrating our ability to grow prudently with core funding while maintaining strong credit discipline.

We also strengthened our capital position with the successful completion of our follow-on public equity offering. Our robust capital position provides us with the ability to support significant future growth while enhancing the strength of our balance sheet. In addition, the Board’s decision to increase the quarterly dividend underscores our confidence in the Company’s earnings power and long-term outlook.

We enter the remainder of 2026 well positioned, with strong capital levels, a proven operating model, and a clear strategic focus on delivering sustainable growth and long-term value for our shareholders.”
