Insights

Greene County Bancorp delivered an impressive 31.2% year-over-year increase in quarterly net income, demonstrating robust fundamental performance amid a challenging rate environment. The bank's strategic management of its balance sheet has yielded positive results, with net interest margin expanding to 2.04% from 1.94% year-over-year.

Several key metrics warrant attention:

  • The bank's asset quality remains exceptional with nonperforming assets at just 0.14% of total assets, significantly better than industry averages
  • Deposit growth of 3.3% was achieved without relying on brokered deposits, indicating strong organic growth and customer relationships
  • The efficiency in managing interest costs is evident, with deposit rate adjustments aligned to Fed policy changes while maintaining competitive positioning

The bank's strategic focus on higher-yielding loans and securities, combined with prudent deposit pricing, has created a sustainable earnings model. The increase in classified loans bears monitoring but appears manageable given that 92% of classified loans are still performing. The tax efficiency is particularly noteworthy, with an effective tax rate of just 7.3%, driven by smart utilization of tax-exempt instruments and solar credits.

The bank's market execution deserves special attention, particularly its ability to grow deposits by $78 million without resorting to brokered deposits - a significant achievement in today's competitive banking landscape. The strategic shift in deposit mix, with NOW accounts growing by 4.3% while reducing exposure to higher-cost money market deposits, reflects astute market positioning.

The expansion in commercial real estate lending, accounting for $46.4 million of the loan growth, indicates strong penetration in the Hudson Valley and Capital Region markets. This geographical focus and community-based approach appears to be yielding tangible results, evidenced by the 12.89% return on average equity.

The bank's asset-liability management strategy shows sophistication, balancing growth with risk management. The increased utilization of FHLB funding demonstrates proactive liquidity management while supporting asset growth. This approach positions the bank well for continued market share gains in its core operating regions.

CATSKILL, N.Y., Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GCBC), the holding company for the Bank of Greene County and its subsidiary Greene County Commercial Bank, today reported net income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, which is the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Net income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 was $7.5 million, or $0.44 per basic and diluted share, and $13.8 million, or $0.81 per basic and diluted share, respectively, as compared to $5.7 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share, and $12.2 million, or $0.72 per basic and diluted share, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Net income increased $1.6 million, or 12.9%, when comparing the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Highlights:

  • Net Income: $13.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024
  • Total Assets: $2.97 billion at December 31, 2024, a new record high
  • Net Loans: $1.53 billion at December 31, 2024, a new record high
  • Total Deposits $2.47 billion at December 31, 2024
  • Return on Average Assets: 0.99% for the six months ended December 31, 2024
  • Return on Average Equity: 12.89% for the six months ended December 31, 2024

“I am pleased to report another excellent quarter of financial performance. Net income was $7.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $1.8 million, or 31.2% as compared to net income of $5.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023,” announced Company President & CEO Donald Gibson. “Second fiscal quarter results reflect solid performance across our key segments. The growth has been driven by our talented employees, who are our most valuable asset.”

Total consolidated assets for the Company were $2.97 billion at December 31, 2024, primarily consisting of $1.5 billion of net loans and $1.1 billion of total securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity. Consolidated deposits totaled $2.5 billion at December 31, 2024, consisting of retail, business, municipal and private banking relationships.

Pre-provision net income was $14.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to pre-provision net income of $12.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $2.1 million, or 16.1%. Pre-provision net income measures the Company’s net income less the provision for credit losses. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure assists investors in comprehending the impact of the provision for credit losses on the Company’s reported results, offering an alternative view of the Company’s performance and the Company’s ability to generate income in excess of its provision for credit losses. The Company strategically managed their balance sheet by focusing on higher-yielding loans and securities, and lowering deposit rates to align with the Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cuts. This resulted in a higher net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023. The Company will continue to monitor the Federal Reserve and interest rates paid on deposits, while maintaining our long-term customer relationships.

Selected highlights for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Net Interest Income and Margin

  • Net interest income increased $1.7 million to $14.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $12.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Net interest income increased $1.4 million to $27.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from $25.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets which increased $204.8 million and $129.8 million when comparing the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and increases in interest rates on interest-earning assets, which increased 26 and 33 basis points when comparing the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in net interest income was offset by increases in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, which increased $202.8 million and $133.5 million when comparing the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and increases in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which increased 16 and 34 basis points when comparing the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

    Average loan balances increased $68.1 million and $64.3 million and the yield on loans increased 22 basis points and 29 basis points when comparing the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The average balance of securities increased $111.8 million and $62.7 million and the yield on such securities increased 19 basis points and 42 basis points when comparing the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Average interest-bearing bank balances and federal funds increased $24.9 million and $2.7 million and the yield on interest-bearing bank balances and federal funds decreased 8 basis points and 2 basis points when comparing the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

    The cost of NOW deposits increased 5 basis points and 29 basis points, the cost of certificates of deposit increased 37 basis points and 40 basis points, and the cost of savings and money market deposits increased 11 basis points and 15 basis points when comparing the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was partially due to growth in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities of $202.8 million and $133.5 million when comparing the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The growth in interest-bearing liabilities was due to an increase in average NOW deposits of $136.7 million and $92.2 million, an increase in average certificates of deposits of $86.2 million and $58.6 million, an increase in average borrowings of $1.7 million and $13.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in average savings and money market deposits of $21.8 million and $30.5 million when comparing the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Yields on interest-earning assets and costs of interest-bearing deposits increased when comparing the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, as the Company continued to reprice assets and deposits into the higher interest rate environment. During the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Company implemented a strategic reduction in deposit rates that aligns with the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts, while providing competitive financial solutions to the Company’s customers that reflect the prevailing economic conditions, while growing new relationships.
  • Net interest rate spread increased 10 basis points to 1.80% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to 1.70% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Net interest rate spread decreased one basis point to 1.78% for the six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 1.79% for the six months ended December 31, 2023.
  • Net interest margin increased 10 basis points to 2.04% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 1.94% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Net interest margin increased one basis point to 2.04% for the six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 2.03% for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in net interest rate spread and margin during the three months ended December 31, 2024, was due to increases in interest income on loans and securities, as they continue to reprice at higher yields and the interest rates earned on new balances were higher than the historic low levels from the prior periods. This was partially offset by the increase in rates paid on deposits as compared to the prior period.
  • 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 2.31% and 2.19% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was 2.30% and 2.28% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Credit Quality and Provision for Credit Losses on Loans

  • Provision for credit losses on loans amounted to $505,000 and $183,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.2 million and $645,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The loan provision for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to the increase in loan volume and updated economic forecasts used in the quantitative modeling as of December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans receivable was 1.30% at December 31, 2024 compared to 1.28% at June 30, 2024.

  • Loans classified as substandard and special mention totaled $54.2 million at December 31, 2024 and $48.6 million at June 30, 2024, an increase of $5.6 million. The increase in loans classified during the period ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a downgrade of one commercial loan relationship that was considered to be performing and paying in accordance with the terms of their loan agreements. Of the loans classified as substandard or special mention, $49.8 million were performing at December 31, 2024. There were no loans classified as doubtful or loss at December 31, 2024 or June 30, 2024.

  • Net charge-offs on loans amounted to $95,000 and $123,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $28,000. Net charge-offs totaled $209,000 and $216,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were no material charge-offs in any loan segment during the three and six months ended December 31, 2024.

  • Nonperforming loans amounted to $4.1 million at December 31, 2024 and $3.7 million at June 30, 2024. The activity in nonperforming loans during the period included $723,000 in loan repayments, $30,000 in charge-offs or transfers to foreclosure, and $1.2 million of loans placed into nonperforming status. At December 31, 2024, nonperforming assets were 0.14% of total assets compared to 0.13% at June 30, 2024. At December 31, 2024, nonperforming loans were 0.26% of net loans compared to 0.25% at June 30, 2024.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

  • Noninterest income increased $397,000, or 11.4%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase during the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in fee income earned on customer interest rate swap contracts of $153,000 and loan fees of $115,000. Noninterest income increased $835,000, or 12.3%, to $7.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $6.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase during the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in fee income earned on customer interest rate swap contracts of $211,000, loan fees of $174,000 and income from bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) of $349,000. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company restructured $23.0 million of BOLI contracts, by surrendering and simultaneously purchasing new higher-yielding policies.

  • Noninterest expense increased $60,000, or 0.6%, to $9.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Noninterest expense increased $765,000 or 4.2%, to $18.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to $18.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase during the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase of $386,000 in salaries and employee benefit costs, as new positions were created during the period to support the Company’s continued growth, an increase of $335,000 in service and data processing fees and an increase of $392,000 in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments, due to the Company’s increased contractual obligations to extend credit. This was partially offset by a decrease of $223,000 in computer software and support fees due to vendor price negotiations, and a decrease of $191,000 in legal expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2024.

Income Taxes

  • Provision for income taxes reflects the expected tax associated with the pre-tax income generated for the given period and certain regulatory requirements. The effective tax rate was 7.3% and 6.9% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, and 10.4% and 11.8% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, 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, and income received on the bank owned life insurance, to arrive at the effective tax rate. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 primarily reflects a higher mix of tax-exempt income from municipal bonds, tax advantage loans, and bank owned life insurance in proportion to pre-tax income, and solar investment tax credits earned.
