[{"type":"text","content":"POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. (the \"Company\") (NASDAQ: RBKB), the holding company of Rhinebeck Bank (the \"Bank\"), reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $2.0 million ($0.19 per basic and $0.18 per diluted share), which was $536,000, or 20.9%, less than the comparable prior year period. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $4.1 million ($0.38 per basic and $0.37 per diluted share), was $1.8 million, or 30.6%, less than the same period last year. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nThe decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in the provision for loan losses of $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company recorded a credit to the provision for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to an expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. For both 2022 periods, an increase in net interest income was partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense. The Company's return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.63% and 7.06%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 0.86% and 8.54%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2021.

Our continuing challenge will be to maintain or improve this level of growth while finding ways to manage the continuing impacts of inflation on our operations.\"\nIncome Statement Analysis\nNet interest income increased $1.7 million, or 19.0%, to $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
