ORANGE COUNTY BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited consolidated financial statements include Orange County Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware bank holding company (“Orange County Bancorp”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Orange Bank & Trust Company, a New York trust company (the “Bank”) and Hudson Valley Investment Advisors (“HVIA”), a Registered Investment Advisor, together referred to as the “Company.” Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company provides commercial and consumer banking services to individuals, small businesses and local municipal governments as well as trust and investment services through the Bank and HVIA. The Company is headquartered in Middletown, New York, with eight locations in Orange County, New York, seven in Westchester County, New York, two in Rockland County, New York, and one in Bronx County, New York. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are commercial real estate, commercial and residential mortgage loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the areas in which they operate.

Assets held by the Company in an agency or fiduciary capacity for its customers are excluded from the consolidated financial statements since they do not constitute assets of the Company. Assets held by the Company in an agency or fiduciary capacity for its customers amounted to $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2022 for Orange County Bancorp, Inc. contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2023. In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2023, the results of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and cash flow statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or for any future period. Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements to conform with prior period presentations.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In December 2022, the financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The amendments in this ASU defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The ASU is effective upon issuance. The FASB had previously issued 2020-04 - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and related amendments in 2020 to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 were elective and applied to all entities that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Inter-bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The Company does not expect such adoption of the new ASU to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial instruments.

Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are presented under Accounting Standards Codification 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, while prior period amounts continue to be reported with previously applicable GAAP and have not been restated. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company recorded a $1.9 million increase in allowance for credit losses on loans that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology (previously allowance for loan losses), an adjustment of $1.4 million recording reserves related to loans, and a $520 thousand increase related to allowance for off balance sheet credit exposures included in other liabilities section of the consolidated statements of financial condition, which resulted in a total cumulative effect adjustment of $1.6 million, net of tax, and a decrease to retained earnings, a component of the stockholders’ equity. Further information regarding the impact of CECL can be found in Note 3 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses.

The Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”) prospectively effective January 1, 2023. The amendments in ASU 2022-02 eliminated the recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructurings and enhanced disclosures for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company did not have any loans that were both experiencing financial difficulties and modified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan and lease receivables and held-to-maturity securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments). In addition, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities which management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell.

The allowance for credit losses represents the estimated amount considered necessary to cover lifetime expected credit losses inherent in financial assets at the balance sheet date. The measurement of expected credit losses is applicable to loans receivable and securities measured at amortized cost. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures such as loan commitments and unused lines of credit. The allowance is established through a provision for credit losses that is charged against income. The methodology for determining the allowance for credit losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management because of the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions used, and the potential for changes in the forecasted economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is reported separately as a contra-asset on the consolidated statement of financial condition. The expected credit loss for unfunded lending commitments and unfunded loan commitments is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition in other liabilities and is recorded within the provision for credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans Receivable

The allowance for credit losses on loans is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the loan to present the net amount expected to be collected. Expected losses are evaluated and calculated on a collective, or pooled, basis for those loans which share similar risk characteristics. If the loan does not share risk characteristics with other loans, the Company will evaluate the loan on an individual basis. Individually evaluated loans are primarily non-accrual and collateral dependent loans. Furthermore, the Company evaluates the pooling methodology at least annually to ensure that loans with similar risk characteristics are pooled appropriately. Loans are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when the Company believes the balances to be uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off or expected to be charged off. The Company does not estimate expected losses on accrued interest receivable on loans, as accrued interest receivable is reversed or written off when the full collection of the accrued interest receivable related to a loan becomes doubtful.

The Company has chosen to segment its portfolio consistent with the manner in which it manages credit risk. The Company calculates estimated credit losses for these loan segments using quantitative models and qualitative factors. Further information on loan segmentation and the credit loss estimation is included in Note 3 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses.

Individually Evaluated Loans

On a case-by-case basis, the Company may conclude that a loan should be evaluated on an individual basis based on its disparate risk characteristics. When the Company determines that a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other loans in the portfolio, the allowance will be determined on an individual basis using the present value of expected cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral as of the reporting date, less estimated selling costs, as applicable. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan, the Company will charge off the difference between the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell at the reporting date and the amortized cost basis of the loan.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

The Company is required to include unfunded commitments that are expected to be funded in the future within the allowance calculation, other than those that are unconditionally cancelable. To arrive at that reserve, the reserve percentage for each applicable segment is applied to the unused portion of the expected commitment balance and is multiplied by the expected funding rate. As noted above, the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is included in other liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial condition and the related credit expense is recorded as provisions for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available for Sale Securities

For available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more than likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For securities available for sale that do not meet the above criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost and adverse conditions related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for, or reversal of, credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available for sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. The Company does not estimate expected losses on accrued interest receivable on investments, as accrued interest receivable is reversed or written off when the full collection of the accrued interest receivable related to an investment becomes doubtful.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s securities portfolio consisted of 276 securities, 251 of which were in an unrealized loss position. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s securities portfolio consisted of 296 securities, 264 of which were in an unrealized loss position. Unrealized losses are primarily related to the Company’s mortgage backed securities, U.S. government agency securities, and investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions as discussed below.

Available for sale securities are evaluated to determine if a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. An impairment related to credit factors would be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is limited to the amount by which the security’s amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value. An impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses shall be recorded through other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Investment securities will be written down to fair value through the Consolidated Statements of Income when management intends to sell, or may be required to sell, the securities before they recover in value. Primarily all of the investment securities are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S government-sponsored entities, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given the lack of historical credit losses and governmental backing. Management believes that the unrealized losses on these securities are a function of changes in market interest rates and credit spreads, not changes in credit quality.

The Company’s available for sale debt securities portfolio includes corporate bonds and revenue bonds, among other securities. These types of securities may pose a higher risk of future impairment charges as a result of the changes in market interest rates, unpredictable nature of the U.S. economy and their potential negative effect on the future performance of the security issuers. Available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses on a quarterly basis. Based on a comparison of the present value of expected cash flows to the amortized cost as well as a potential market for sale, the Company determined that there was no value to its corporate bond issued by Signature Bank due to its failure. Accordingly, the Company wrote off the amount of the corporate bond totaling $5.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The amount of the writedown was previously recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The Company also evaluated available for sale debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2023 included in the table above and has determined that the declines in fair value are mainly attributable to interest rates, credit spreads, market volatility and liquidity conditions, not credit quality or other factors. There was no impairment recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Accrued interest on investments, which is excluded from the amortized cost of available for sale debt securities, totaled $2.3 million and $2.5 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is presented within total accrued interest receivable on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The Company does not intend to sell any of its available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any of its securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company engaged a third-party vendor to assist in the CECL calculation and internal governance framework to oversee the quarterly estimation process for the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). The ACL calculation methodology relies on regression-based discounted cash flow (“DCF”) models that correlate relationships between certain financial metrics and external market and macroeconomic variables. The Company uses Proability of Default (“PD”) and Loss Given Default (“LGD”) with quantitative factors and qualitative considerations in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses for collectively evaluated loans. The Company uses a reasonable and supportable period of one year, at which point loss assumptions revert back to historical loss information by means of a one-year reversion period. Following are some of the key factors and assumptions that are used in the Company’s CECL calculations:

• methods based on probability of default and loss given default which are modeled based on macroeconomic scenarios;

• a reasonable and supportable forecast period determined based on management’s current review of macroeconomic environment;

• a reversion period after the reasonable and supportable forecast period;

• estimated prepayment rates based on the Company’s historical experience and future macroeconomic environment;

• estimated credit utilization rates based on the Company’s historical experience and future macroeconomic environment; and

• incorporation of qualitative factors not captured within the modeled results. The qualitative factors include but are not limited to

changes in lending policies, business conditions, changes in the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, and

external factors such as competition.

Allowance for Credit Losses are aggregated for the major loan segments, with similar risk characteristics, summarized below. However, for the purposes of calculating the reserves, these segments may be further broken down into loan classes by risk characteristics that include but are not limited to regulatory call codes, industry type, geographic location, and collateral type.

Residential real estate loans involve certain risks such as interest rate risk and risk of non-repayment. Adjustable-rate residential real estate loans decrease the interest rate risk to the Bank that is associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying properties may be adversely affected by

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

higher interest rates. Repayment risk may be affected by a number of factors including, but not necessarily limited to, job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy of the borrower.

Commercial and multi-family real estate lending entails additional risks as compared with residential family property lending. Such loans typically involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. The payment experience on such loans is typically dependent on the successful operation of the real estate project. The success of such projects is sensitive to changes in supply and demand conditions in the market for commercial real estate as well as general economic conditions.

Construction lending is generally considered to involve a high risk due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of the general economic conditions on developers and builders. Moreover, a construction loan can involve additional risks because of the inherent difficulty in estimating both a property’s value at completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project. The nature of these loans is such that they are generally difficult to evaluate and monitor. In addition, speculative construction loans to a builder are not necessarily pre-sold and thus pose a greater potential risk to the Bank than construction loans to individuals on their personal residence.

Commercial and industrial lending, including lines of credit, is generally considered higher risk due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general economic conditions on the business. Commercial business loans are primarily secured by inventories and other business assets. In many cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted commercial business loans will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance.

Home equity lending entails certain risks such as interest rate risk and risk of non-repayment. The marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates, decreasing the collateral value securing the loan. Repayment risk can be affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy of the borrower. Home equity line of credit lending entails securing an equity interest in the borrower’s home. In many cases, the Bank’s position in these loans is as a junior lien holder to another institution’s superior lien. This type of lending is often priced on an adjustable rate basis with the rate set at or above a predefined index. Adjustable-rate loans decrease the interest rate risk to the Bank that is associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default.

Consumer loans generally have more credit risk because of the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than other lending. In addition, consumer lending collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy. In many cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company held $5.4 million in non-accrual balances and a related ACL for approximately $655. Within the non-accrual balances, $4.4 million of these loans had no ACL associated to them.

The Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”) effective January 1, 2023. The amendments in ASU 2022-02 eliminated the recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructurings and enhanced disclosures for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company did not have any loans that were both experiencing financial difficulties and modified during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2023.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, loans in the process of foreclosure were $2,624 and $2,016 respectively, of which $1,167 and $578 were secured by residential real estate.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $350 thousand and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well- defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.

Note 4 — Fair Value

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

Individually Evaluated, or Collateral Dependent Loans and Other Real Estate Owned: The fair value of collateral dependent loans that are individually evaluated for impairment is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach and resulted in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Collateral dependent loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted in accordance with the allowance policy.

Appraisals are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by a third-party appraisal management company that the Company has engaged in accordance with internal vendor management policies and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. Once received, the appraisal review function is conducted by the appraisal management company and consists of a review of the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Through this review, the appraisal management company evaluates the validity of the appraised value and the strength of the conclusions; which are subsequently confirmed by a member of the Credit Department. Discounts to the appraised value are then applied to recognize the carrying costs incurred until disposition, realtor fees, deterioration in the quality of the asset, and the age of the appraisal. The net effect of these adjustments were included in the charge-off to the allowance upon acquisition of the foreclosed property and/or upon partial charge-off of the collateral dependent loan. The most recent analysis of property appraisals including the appropriate discount rates are incorporated into the allowance methodology for the respective loan portfolio segments.

The Company earns wealth management fees, which includes trust income and investment advisory income, from its contracts with trust and brokerage customers to manage assets for investment, and/or to transact on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted services and are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of the assets under management at month-end or quarter-end.

Note 9 — Segment Information

The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered by the Company, primarily distinguished between banking and wealth management. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation, and trust fees and investment management fees provide the revenues in wealth management. All operations are domestic.

ORANGE COUNTY BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Note 10 — Regulatory Capital Matters

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by regulators. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks, (Basel III rules), became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. Under the Basel III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The regulations limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a “capital conservation buffer.” The capital conservation buffer is 2.5%. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion and capital restoration plans are required. Capital levels at June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022 exceeded the regulatory minimum levels for the Bank to be considered well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.

Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for the Bank.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and are based on certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable but may prove to be inaccurate. Certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected results discussed in the forward-looking statements appearing in this discussion and analysis. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “expect,” “attribute,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “goal,” “target,” “outlook,” “aim,” “would,” “annualized” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. 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 not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

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:

inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;
general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;
changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses;
our ability to access cost-effective funding;
recent events involving the failure of financial institutions may adversely affect our business, and the market price of our common stock;
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 strategies;
competition among depository and other financial institutions;
the rate of delinquencies and amounts of loans charged-off;
fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions;
adverse changes in the securities markets;
fluctuations in the stock market may have a significant adverse effect on transaction fees, client activity and client investment portfolio gains and losses related to our trust and wealth management business;

Table of Contents

changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;
our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
our ability to capitalize on strategic opportunities;
our ability to successfully introduce new products and services;
our ability to successfully integrate into our operations any assets, liabilities, customers, systems and management personnel we may acquire and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames, and any goodwill charges related thereto;
our ability to retain our existing customers;
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;
changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans;
changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios;
a breach in security of our information systems, including the occurrence of a cyber incident or a deficiency in cyber security;
political instability or civil unrest;
acts of war or terrorism;
competition and innovation with respect to financial products and services by banks, financial institutions and non-traditional providers, including retail businesses and technology companies;
the failure to attract and retain skilled people;
any future FDIC insurance premium increases, or special assessment may adversely affect our earnings;
the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies; and
other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and operational factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with other cautionary statements that are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a bank holding company headquartered in Middletown, New York and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act. Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Orange Bank & Trust Company and Hudson Valley Investment Advisors, Inc., we offer full-service commercial and consumer banking products and services and trust and wealth management services to small businesses, middle-market enterprises, local municipal governments and affluent individuals in the Lower Hudson Valley region, the New York metropolitan area and nearby markets in Connecticut and New Jersey. By combining the high-touch service and relationship-based focus of a community bank with the extensive suite of financial products and services offered by our larger competitors, we believe we can capitalize on the substantial growth opportunities available in our market areas. We also offer a variety of deposit accounts to businesses and consumers, including checking accounts and a full line of municipal banking accounts through our business banking platform. These activities, together with our 15 offices and one loan production office, generate a stable source of low- cost core deposits and a diverse loan portfolio with attractive risk-adjusted yields. We also offer private banking services through Orange Bank & Trust Private Banking, a division of Orange Bank & Trust Company, and provide trust and wealth management services through Orange Bank & Trust Company’s trust services department and HVIA, which combined had $1.4 billion in assets under management at June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, our assets, loans, deposits and stockholders’ equity totaled $2.5 billion, $1.7 billion, $2.1 billion and $148.2 million, respectively.

Key Factors Affecting Our Business

Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the most significant contributor to our net income and is the difference between the interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is primarily a function of the average balances and yields/rates of these interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. These factors are influenced by internal considerations such as product mix and risk appetite as well as external influences such as economic conditions, competition for loans and deposits and market interest rates.

The cost of our deposits and short-term borrowings is primarily based on short-term interest rates, which are largely driven by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s (the “FRB”) actions and market competition. The yields generated by our loans and securities are typically affected by short-term and long-term interest rates, which are driven by market competition and market rates often impacted by the FRB’s actions. The level of net interest income is influenced by movements in such interest rates and the pace at which such movements occur.

We anticipate that interest rates will continue to increase over the next several quarters. Based on our asset sensitivity, a steepened yield curve and higher interest rates generally could have a beneficial impact on our net interest income. Conversely, a flat yield curve at lower rates would be expected to have an adverse impact on our net interest income.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income is also a contributor to our net income. Noninterest income consists primarily of our investment advisory income, trust income generated by HVIA and our trust department, as well as income generated by our BOLI investment earnings. In addition, noninterest income is also impacted by net gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities, service charges on deposit accounts, and other fee income consisting primarily of debit card fee income, checkbook fees and rebates and safe deposit box rental income.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense includes salaries, employee benefits, occupancy, furniture and equipment expense, professional fees, directors’ fees and expenses, computer software expense, Federal deposit insurance assessment, advertising expenses, advisor expenses related to trust income and other expenses. In evaluating our level of noninterest expense, we closely monitor our efficiency ratio. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense to net interest income plus noninterest income. We continue to seek to identify ways to streamline our business and operate more efficiently.

Credit Quality. We have well established loan policies and underwriting practices that have resulted in low levels of charge-offs and nonperforming assets in recent periods. We strive to originate quality loans that will maintain the credit quality of our loan portfolio. However, credit trends in the markets in which we operate are largely impacted by economic conditions beyond our control and can adversely impact our financial condition.

Competition. The industry and businesses in which we operate are highly competitive. We may see increased competition in different areas including interest rates, underwriting standards and product offerings and structure. While we seek to maintain an appropriate return on our investments, we anticipate that we will experience continued pressure on our net interest margins as we operate in this competitive environment.

Economic Conditions. Our business and financial performance are affected by economic conditions generally in the United States and more directly in the market of the Lower Hudson Valley region, the New York metropolitan area and nearby markets in Connecticut and New Jersey where we primarily operate. The significant economic factors that are most relevant to our business and our financial performance include, but are not limited to, real estate values, interest rates and unemployment rates.

Regulatory Trends. We operate in a highly regulated environment and nearly all of our operations are subject to extensive regulation and supervision. Bank or securities regulators, Congress, the State of New York, the FRB and the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “NYSDFS”) may revise the laws and regulations applicable to us, may impose new laws and regulations, increase the level of scrutiny of our business in the supervisory process, and pursue additional enforcement actions against financial institutions. Future legislative and regulatory changes such as these may increase our costs and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The legislative and regulatory trends that will affect us in the future are impossible to predict with any certainty.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income under different assumptions or conditions. These critical estimates, policies and their application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the board of directors. Management believes that the most critical accounting estimates, which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments, are as follows:

Allowance for Credit Losses. Management believes that the determination of the allowance for credit losses involves a high degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could materially impact the results of operations for Orange County Bancorp.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326), which replaced the incurred loss methodology with CECL for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance for management’s estimate of expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. The process to determine expected credit losses utilizes analytic tools and judgement and is reviewed on a quarterly basis. When management is reasonably certain that a loan balance is not fully collectable, an analysis is completed and a specific reserve may be established or a full or partial charge off could be recorded against the allowance. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance via a quantitative analysis which considers available information from internal and external sources related to past loan loss and prepayment experience and current conditions, as well as the incorporation of reasonable and supportable forecasts. Management evaluates a variety of factors including available published economic information in arriving at its forecast. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. Also included in the allowance for credit losses are qualitative reserves that are expected, but, in management’s assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative analysis or the forecasts described above. Factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, size and composition of the portfolio, experience and depth of management and the effect of external factors such as competition, legal and regulatory requirements, among others. The allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for credit losses remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions for credit losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the Bank’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New York. Accordingly, the collectability of a substantial portion of the carrying value of the Bank’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in local market conditions and any adverse economic conditions. Future adjustments to the provision for credit losses and allowance for credit losses may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Company’s control.

Assets. Our total assets were $2.5 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $206.6 million, or 9.0%, from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in net loans of $140.7 million, or 9.1%. The increase in assets also included an increase in cash and due from banks of $92.5 million, or 107.5%.

Cash and due from banks. Cash and due from banks increased $92.5 million, or 107.5%, to $178.6 million at June 30, 2023, from $86.1 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was driven mainly by a continued strategy to increase cash balances, even through borrowings in order to maintain greater on-hand cash levels during a period of industry liquidity concerns.

Net loans increased $140.7 million, or 9.1%, to $1.7 billion at June 30, 2023 from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2022 primarily due to increases in commercial real estate and commercial real estate construction loan categories during the first six months of 2023. Commercial real estate loans increased $115.1 million, or 10.5%, to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2023 from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2022. Commercial real estate construction loans experienced an increase of $7.3 million, or 6.7%, to $116.9 million at June 30, 2023 from $109.6 million at December 31, 2022. The commercial real estate related growth was primarily the result of continued increase in loan originations to new and existing customers during the first six months of 2023 as well as our continued strategic focus on geographic expansion in our market area.

Non-performing Assets

Management determines that a loan is individually evaluated or non-performing when it is probable at least a portion of the loan will not be collected in accordance with the original terms due to a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When a loan is determined to be non-performing, the measurement of the loan in the allowance for credit losses is based on the fair value of the collateral for all collateral-dependent loans. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. All loans that become 90 days or more delinquent are placed on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received on a cash basis or cost recovery method.

When we acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as real estate owned. The real estate owned is recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Soon after acquisition, we order a new appraisal to determine the current market value of the property. Any excess of the recorded value of the loan satisfied over the market value of the property is charged against the allowance for credit losses, or, if the existing allowance is inadequate, charged to expense of the current period. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Management will consider a modification of loan terms, such as a reduction of the interest rate to below market terms, capitalizing past due interest or extending the maturity date and possibly a partial forgiveness of the principal amount due, when it is deemed appropriate based on individual borrower conditions. Interest income on restructured loans is accrued after the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the restructured terms through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six consecutive months.

The following table sets forth information regarding our non-performing assets. Non-performing loans aggregated approximately $5.4 million at June 30, 2023 as compared to $8.5 million at December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no PPP loans considered as non-performing.

Non-performing loans at June 30, 2023 totaled $5.4 million and consisted primarily of $3.5 million of commercial real estate loans, $1.2 million of residential real estate loans, $641 thousand of commercial and industrial loans, and $47 thousand of home equity loans. The decrease in non-performing loans represents the effect of continued collection efforts and the resolution of certain commercial syndicated loans during the current six month period. We had no other real estate owned at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Non-performing assets decreased $3.1 million, or 36.1%, to $5.4 million, or 0.22% of total assets, at June 30, 2023 from $8.5 million, or 0.37% of total assets, at December 31, 2022. The decrease in non-performing assets at June 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022 was primarily due to a decrease of $1.9 million related to accruing commercial and industrial loans as well as a combined decrease of $435 in consumer loans and $362 thousand in non-accruing commercial and industrial loans driven mainly by the workout of a specific commercial syndicated loan relationship.

From time to time, as part of our loss mitigation strategy, we may renegotiate loan terms based on the economic and legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. There were no loans modified due to financial difficulties during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide that loans and other assets of lesser quality should be classified as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that we will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. We designate an asset as “special mention” if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants management’s close attention.

The following table summarizes classified assets of all portfolio types at the dates indicated:

On the basis of management’s review of our assets, we have classified $17.4 million of our assets at June 30, 2023 as substandard compared to $18.4 million at December 31, 2022, due to certain loan charge-offs recorded during the current six month period. There were no doubtful assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We designated $8.2 million of our assets at June 30, 2023 as special mention compared to $8.0 million designated as special mention at December 31, 2022, as a result of certain loan migration into the category.

Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326), which replaced the incurred loss methodology with CECL for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance for management’s estimate of expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. The process to determine expected credit losses utilizes analytic tools and judgement and is reviewed on a quarterly basis. When management is reasonably certain that a loan balance is not fully collectable, an analysis is completed and a specific reserve may be established or a full or partial charge off could be recorded against the allowance. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance via a quantitative analysis which considers available information from internal and external sources related to past loan loss and prepayment experience and current conditions, as well as the incorporation of reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Table of Contents

Management evaluates a variety of factors including available published economic information in arriving at its forecast. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. Also included in the allowance for credit losses are qualitative reserves that are expected, but, in management’s assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative analysis or the forecasts described above. Factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, size and composition of the portfolio, experience and depth of management and the effect of external factors such as competition, legal and regulatory requirements, among others. The allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for credit losses remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions for credit losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the Bank’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New York. Accordingly, the collectability of a substantial portion of the carrying value of the Bank’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in local market conditions and any adverse economic conditions. Future adjustments to the provision for credit losses and allowance for credit losses may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Company’s control.

The allowance for credit losses increased by $3.0 million, or 13.8%, to $24.9 million, or 1.45% of total loans at June 30, 2023, from $21.8 million, or 1.39% of total loans at December 31, 2022. The increase in the allowance was primarily due to increased provision resulting from the growth in our commercial real estate loan portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as well as the cumulative effect of the CECL adjustment recorded during the period.

Available for sale securities decreased $30.2 million, or 5.7%, to $503.2 million at June 30, 2023 from $533.4 million at December 31, 2022, due primarily to the sale of certain investments during a period of limited purchases as all investment categories experienced declines due to normal amortization and cash flow during the current six month period as well as the effect of the write-off related to Signature Bank subordinated debt recorded during the second quarter of 2023.

We did not have held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a credit loss associated with a corporate bond issued by Signature Bank resulting in a provision for credit losses totaling $5.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. This loss represents the direct result of the failure of that bank during the first quarter of 2023. The investment was written-off during the second quarter of 2023.

Total deposits increased $163.9 million, or 8.3%, to $2.1 billion at June 30, 2023 from December 31, 2022. Certificates of deposit increased by $66.5 million, or 71.5%, mainly from increased brokered deposits during the six month period ended June 30, 2023 which represented a continued strategic focus on increasing liquidity during the first half of 2023 as a result of the liquidity volatility within the industry. Interest bearing demand deposits experienced a $72.8 million, or 25.6%, increase. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $7.6 million, while money market deposits increased $31.9 million, and savings deposits remained relatively level during the first six months of 2023 primarily related to our strategic focus on business account activity as well as the impact of liquidity pressure within the banking industry. At June 30, 2023, our core deposits (which includes all deposits except for certificates of deposit) totaled $2.0 billion, or 92.5% of our total deposits. We held approximately $117.9 million of brokered deposits (excluding reciprocal deposits obtained through the Certificate Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) and Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) networks) at June 30, 2023. This increase was driven by a strategic focus to increase liquidity during the current period. Our reciprocal deposits obtained through the CDARS and ICS networks totaled $9.7 million and $98.4 million, respectively, at June 30, 2023 and the CDARS and ICS networks totaled $12.5 million and $40.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022. Uninsured deposits, net of fully collateralized municipal relationships, remain stable and represent approximately 38% of total deposits at June 30, 2023 as compared to 43% of total deposits at December 31, 2022.

Borrowings

Our borrowings consist of both short-term and long-term borrowings and provide us with one of our sources of funding. Maintaining available borrowing capacity provides us with a contingent source of liquidity.

Total borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York were $166.5 million at June 30, 2023 and $131.5 million at December 31, 2022. We have the capacity to borrow an additional $340.6 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York as of June 30, 2023.

In September 2020, we issued $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed to floating subordinated notes (the “2020 Notes”) to certain institutional investors. The 2020 Notes are non-callable for five years, have a stated maturity of September 30, 2030, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% per year until September 30, 2025. From September 30, 2025 to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to a level equal to the then current three-month SOFR plus 413 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity experienced an increase of approximately $10.0 million, to $148.2 million, at June 30, 2023 from $138.2 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was due mainly to an increase of $8.2 million in retained earnings coupled with a $1.7 million decrease in unrealized losses on the market value of investment securities recognized within the Company’s equity as accumulated other comprehensive income(loss) (“AOCI”), net of taxes as a direct result of market interest rates. The Bank recognized an increase in retained earnings of approximately $8.2 million associated with earnings during the first six months of 2023, net of dividends paid. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s stockholders’ equity also included the effect of a cumulative adjustment of approximately $1.6 million, net of taxes, associated with the initial adjustment related to CECL implementation.

Average Balance Sheets and Related Yields and Rates

The following tables present average balance sheet information, interest income, interest expense and the corresponding average yields earned and rates paid for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. No tax equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. The average balances are daily averages for loans, as presented. Interest income on loans includes the effects of discount accretion and net deferred loan origination costs accounted for as yield adjustments. Net deferred loan fees totaled $1.2 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net deferred loan fees totaled $2.7 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

General. Net income increased $7.0 million, or 330.6%, to $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was driven by an increase of $5.1 million in net interest income as well as a decrease in the provision for credit losses of $5.3 million during the current quarter as compared to the same quarter in 2022. The decrease in the provision for credit losses during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 was mainly associated with the recognition of a $5.1 million provision related to certain syndicated loan relationships in 2022 which were deemed impaired at that time. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $12.3 million, as compared to $7.4

Table of Contents

million for the same period in 2022. The overall increase was driven primarily by increased net interest income of $9.9 million during the six month period end June 30, 2023 as compared to the same prior year period.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $11.3 million, or 60.9%, to $29.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, which increased by $145.9 million, or 6.5%, to $2.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, the average yield of interest-earning assets increased by 169 basis points from 3.32% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 5.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of the continued rising interest rate environment.

Interest income increased $20.4 million, or 56.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 reaching $56.1 million from $35.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was driven by a $131.1 million increase in the balance of average interest-earning assets between the two periods. Within the average balance of interest-earning assets, the average balance of loans receivable (net of PPP loans) grew $329.7 million, or 24.9%, between the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022. In addition, the average yield of interest-earning assets increased by 158 basis points from 3.29% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to 4.87% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of the continued rising interest rate environment.

Interest income on loans increased by $8.7 million, or 57.1%, to $23.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $15.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of loans (net of PPP loans). The average balance of these loans increased by $306.3 million, or 22.2%, to $1.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average yield on loans, excluding PPP loans, increased by 133 basis points to 5.67% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 4.34% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the average balance of loans was due to our continued success in growing our commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction, and commercial and industrial loans. The increase in the average yield on loans was the direct result of loans that closed during the first quarter of 2023 that included the impact of the FRB's increase to its benchmark rate during 2022 and the first half of 2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, interest income on loans increased by $15.5 million, or 51.3%, reaching $45.7 million as compared to $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest income on loans represents the impact of growth in average loan balances (net of PPP loans) from $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in average loans outstanding was due mainly to continued growth of commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction, and commercial and industrial loans. This increase in production was also coupled with an increase in average yield on loans, excluding PPP loans, for the six month periods from 4.47% in 2022 to 5.57% in 2023. The increase in the average yield on loans was driven by the level of interest rate increases during 2022 and the first half of 2023 and the impact on the portfolio during the period.

Interest income on securities increased by $784 thousand, or 28.4%, to $3.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest income on securities was driven primarily by an increase in the average yield on securities during the period. The average yield on investment securities increased by 62 basis points overall from 2.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 2.75% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the average yield on securities resulted primarily from the deployment of excess cash into higher-yielding securities during 2022 as well as the result of increasing market rates during 2022 and the first half of 2023. The average balance of securities decreased by $2.3 million, or 0.45%, to $515.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $518.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in the average balance was mainly the result of the Signature Bank subordinated debt write-off as well as lower balances due to certain maturities during the quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, interest income on securities increased by $2.3 million, or 46.7%, to $7.1 million during the period from $4.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest income on securities was due to an increase in the average balance of securities as well as an increase in the average yield on securities during the period. The average balance of securities increased by $26.5 million, or 5.3%, to $523.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $496.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the average balance of securities was primarily due to purchases of mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities with our excess liquidity during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The average yield on investment securities increased by 77 basis points overall from 1.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to

47

Table of Contents

2.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the average yield on securities resulted primarily from the deployment of excess cash into higher-yielding securities as a result of increasing market rates during 2022.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $6.2 million, or 632.1%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $975 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increased interest expense was primarily the result of the increasing interest rate environment and the impact on deposit costs during the quarter. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased 150 basis points to 1.78% during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 0.28% for the three month period ended June 30, 2022. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $33.5 million, or 2.4%, to $1.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest expense increased $10.5 million, or 548.6%, to $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest expense reflects the increasing interest rate environment and the effect on deposits during the period. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased 92 basis points to 1.13% during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 0.21% for the six month period ended June 30, 2022. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $8.5 million, or 0.64%, to $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits increased by $3.9 million to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $702 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was due mainly to an increase in the average cost of deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 112 basis points to 1.32% during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 0.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased due to the impact of the rising interest rate environment on deposit accounts.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, interest expense on interest-bearing deposits increased by $6.2 million, or 452.5%, to $7.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits for the six month periods represents the primary impact of the increasing interest rate environment on the average cost of deposits, including competition in the market place. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 92 basis points to 1.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 0.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

We also expensed a relatively level amount of approximately $231 thousand in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 related to the issuance in September 2020 of $20.0 million in outstanding subordinated notes, which carries an interest rate of 4.25%. These flat interest costs represent the debt service required as part of the 2020 subordinated notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we expensed $461 thousand in interest expense as compared to the $462 thousand recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These relatively flat interest costs represent the debt service required as part of the 2020 subordinated notes.

Additionally, the second quarter 2023 included FHLB average borrowings of $175.2 million compared to virtually no borrowings in the same quarter of 2022. The interest expense related to the 2023 borrowings reached approximately $2.3 million in cost and reflected an average rate of 5.23%. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, FHLB average borrowings of $176.6 million compared to almost no borrowings for the same period in 2022. The interest expense related to FHLB borrowing for the first six months of 2023 reached approximately $4.4 million as compared to none for the first six months of 2022. These increased borrowings represent the strategic focus to increase cash balances in response to the liquidity pressure experienced by the banking industry during the first quarter of 2023.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $5.1 million, or 29.1%, to $22.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to an increase in net interest margin for the current period. Average total interest-earning assets increased by $145.9 million to $2.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net interest rate spread increased by 19 basis points to 3.23% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting a 169 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a 150 basis points increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin increased 67 basis points to 3.81% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.14% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to the increases in overall interest rates as well as deployment of funds into higher yielding loans and investments.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income increased $9.9 million, or 29.2%, to $43.7 million from $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due primarily to an increase in net interest margin for the current period. Average total interest-earning assets increased by $131.1 million to $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Net interest rate spread increased by 24 basis points to 3.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The net interest margin increased 69 basis points to 3.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was mainly created by an increase in average loans during the period at higher yields of 110 basis points as compared to the same period in 2022.

Provision for Credit Losses. The Company recognized a provision for credit losses of $214 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses totaled $6.6 million as compared to $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2023 also reflected the recognition of credit losses associated with the write off of the Signature Bank corporate security in the amount of $5.0 million as well as the additional provision related to the growth of the Company’s loan portfolio. The decreased provision for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 reflected the recognition of impairments of two relationships totaling $14.2 million within the syndicated loan portfolio during 2022. Syndicated loans represent approximately 4.5% of total loans at June 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.45% as of June 30, 2023, an increase of 6 basis points, or 4.3%, versus 1.39% as of December 31, 2022.

Non-interest expense was $14.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, reflecting an increase of approximately $2.0 million, or 15.9%, as compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in non-interest expense for the current three-month period was due to continued investment in overall Company growth, including increases in salaries and benefit costs, occupancy costs, information technology, and deposit insurance. Our efficiency ratio was 56.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 61.0% for the same period in 2022.

Non-interest expense was $28.5 million for the first half of 2023, reflecting an increase of approximately $4.2 million, or 17.2%, as compared to $24.3 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in non-interest expense for the six month period was also due to continued investment in overall Company growth, including increases in salaries and benefit costs, occupancy costs, and information technology. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our efficiency ratio was 56.7% as compared to 61.0% for the same period in 2022.

Provision for Income Tax. Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $2.1 million, compared to approximately $400 thousand for the same period in 2022. The increase for the current period was due to an increase in income before income taxes during the quarter. Our effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 was 19.1%, as compared to 15.9% for the same period in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our provision for income taxes was $2.8 million, as compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase for the current period was also due to the increase in income before income taxes during the current six month period. Our effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was 18.7%, as compared to 18.3% for the same period in 2022. The growth of the effective tax rates on the 2023 second quarter and six month period was due to the increase in proportion pre-tax income compared with non-taxable revenue (tax-exempt interest income and earnings on bank owned life insurance) during 2023 as compared to 2022.

Financial Position and Results of Operations of our Wealth Management Business Segment

We conduct our business through two business segments: (1) our banking business segment, which involves the delivery of loan and deposit products to our customers through Orange Bank & Trust Company; and (2) our wealth management business segment, which includes asset management and trust services to individuals and institutions through HVIA and Orange Bank & Trust Company that provides trust and investment management fee income.

The market value of assets under management and/or administration at June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. This includes assets held at both Orange Bank & Trust Company and HVIA at June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

Our expenses related to our wealth management business segment, which we record as noninterest expense, increased $348 thousand, or 18.9%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in expenses was primarily due to continued growth of the business unit and investment in technology during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our expenses related to our wealth management business segment increased $272 thousand or 7.3%, to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the growth of the business unit and its related operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities and sales of securities. 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.

51

Table of Contents

Our most liquid assets are cash and due from banks. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, cash and due from banks totaled $165.3 million and $86.1 million, respectively. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $503.2 million at June 30, 2023 and $533.5 million at December 31, 2022.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2023 totaled $138.4 million, or 86.7% of total certificates of deposit. At June 30, 2023, total certificates of deposit were $159.6 million, or 7.5% of total deposits. The largest concentration of deposits represented brokered deposits in the amount of approximately $140.2 million and were increased strategically due to the liquidity pressures within the banking industry during the first quarter of 2023. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2022 totaled $80.7 million, or 86.8% of total certificates of deposit. At December 31, 2022, total certificates of deposit were $93.0 million, or 4.7% of total deposits.

We participate in IntraFi Network, allowing us to provide access to multi-million-dollar FDIC deposit insurance protection on deposits for customers, businesses and public entities. We can elect to sell or repurchase this funding as reciprocal deposits from other IntraFi Network banks depending on our funding needs. At June 30, 2023, we had a total of $108.1 million of IntraFi Network deposits, all of which were repurchased as reciprocal deposits from the IntraFi Network.

Although customer deposits remain our preferred source of funds, maintaining back up sources of liquidity is part of our prudent liquidity risk management practices. We have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRB”) as well as other correspondent banks. At June 30, 2023, we had a total capacity of $605.1 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, of which $108.0 million was used to collateralize municipal deposits, and $156.5 million was utilized for overnight advances. At June 30, 2023, we also had a $2.6 million collateralized line of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with no outstanding balance. Additionally, we had a total of $25.0 million of discretionary lines of credit at June 30, 2023 with no outstanding balance. We also have a borrowing agreement with Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) to provide short-term borrowings of $5.0 million at June 30, 2023. There were no outstanding borrowings with ACBB at June 30, 2023. Additional funding was available to the Bank through the Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”). We currently have $106.4 million of collateral pledged to the FRB under the BTFP and available for borrowing. As of June 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings with the FRB.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.6 million and $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from the sale of securities and proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on securities, was $121.0 million and $331.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting of activity in deposit accounts and borrowings, was $196.0 million and $286.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position daily. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience, current pricing strategy and regulatory restrictions, we have the ability to retain and increase a substantial portion of maturing time deposits, and we can supplement our funding with borrowings in the event that we allow these deposits to run off at maturity.

Capital Resources. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the NYSDFS. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See Note 10 to the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for actual and required capital amounts and ratios at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

52

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2023, we had $492.0 million in loan commitments outstanding. We also had $17.3 million in standby letters of credit at June 30, 2023.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information related to this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023 the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations are operating in an effective manner.

Internal control over financial reporting. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the CECL accounting guidance under ASU 2016-13 and ASC 326. The Company designed new controls and modified existing controls as part of this adoption to ensure compliance with the revised accounting and disclosure requirements. These additional controls over financial reporting included controls over model creation and design, model governance, assumptions, and expanded controls over loan level data. Other than as described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As of June 30, 2023, the Company is not currently a named party in a legal proceeding, the outcome of which would have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following risk factor represents a material update and addition to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, to the extent that any of the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitutes forward-looking statements, the risk factor set forth below also is a cautionary statement identifying important

53

Table of Contents

factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.

Recent events involving the failure of financial institutions may adversely affect our business, and the market price of our common stock.

Recent developments and events in the financial services industry, including the large-scale deposit withdrawals over a short period of time at Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank that resulted in the failure of those institutions have resulted in decreased confidence in banks among depositors, other counterparties and investors, as well as significant disruption, volatility and reduced valuations of equity and other securities of banks in the capital markets. These events have occurred against the backdrop of a rapidly rising interest rate environment which, among other things, has resulted in unrealized losses in longer duration securities and loans held by banks, more competition for bank deposits and may increase the risk of a potential recession. These events and developments could materially and adversely impact our business or financial condition, including through potential liquidity pressures, reduced net interest margins, and potential increased credit losses. These recent events and developments have, and could continue to, adversely impact the market price and volatility of our common stock. These recent events may also result in changes to laws or regulations governing banks and bank holding companies or result in the impositions of restrictions through supervisory or enforcement activities, including higher capital requirements, which could have a material impact on our businesses. The cost of resolving the recent failures may prompt the FDIC to increase its premiums above the recently increased levels or to issue additional special assessments.
