About this update from Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc.

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 28, 2025 / Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:RBKB), the holding company of Rhinebeck Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income for the third quarter of 2025 of $2.7 million, compared to a net loss of $8.1 million for the third quarter of 2024. Earnings per share were $0.25 for the third quarter of 2025, compared to diluted loss per share of $0.75 for the same quarter of 2024. Net income for the first nine months of 2025 totaled $7.7 million, compared to a net loss of $6.0 million for the same period last year. Earnings per share were $0.70 and diluted loss per share was $0.55 for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflected the sale of securities from a balance sheet restructuring. The restructuring, announced in the third quarter of 2024, resulted in a pre-tax loss of $12.0 million. The restructuring decreased the average life of the securities portfolio, and improved the Company's earnings stream going forward, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024. President and Chief Executive Officer Matthew Smith said, "I am honored to step into the role of CEO at such a pivotal time for our organization. The recent progress we've made-returning to profitability, strengthening our capital position, and enhancing asset quality-speaks to the resilience and dedication of our team. As we look ahead, my focus will be on building sustainable growth, deepening our client relationships, and driving innovation while maintaining strong risk discipline. Together, we will continue to create long-term value for our shareholders, customers, and communities." Income Statement Analysis Net interest income increased $2.4 million, or 24.5%, to $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher yields on interest-earning assets and lower costs on interest-bearing liabilities. A $394,000 recovery on impaired accounts also contributed to the increase. The interest rate spread improved 77 basis points from 2.50% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to 3.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as asset yields increased while liability costs decreased. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, when compared to the same period in 2024, the average yield of interest-earning assets improved by 42 basis points to 5.80% and the average balance of interest-earning assets increased by $30.8 million, or 2.6%, to $1.21 billion. The balance sheet restructuring in the third quarter of 2024 significantly increased the yield on our available-for-sale securities. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $22.0 million, or 2.5%, primarily due to a $58.7 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits (primarily money market accounts and time deposits), partially offset by a $36.9 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 35 basis points to 2.53% due to the lower market interest rate environment and less reliance on higher-costing FHLB advances. The net interest margin increased by 68 basis points to 3.93%. Year-to-date net interest income increased $7.0 million, or 25.6%, to $34.6 million compared to $27.5 million for the prior year nine-month period primarily due to higher yields on interest-earning assets and lower costs on interest- bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread increased by 91 basis points, from 2.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, to 3.25% for the same period in 2025, primarily due to favorable asset and liability pricing. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the average balance of interest-earning assets decreased by $14.7 million, or 1.2%, to $1.19 billion while the average yield improved by 52 basis points to 5.77%, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The balance sheet restructuring in the second half of 2024 significantly increased the yield on our available-for-sale securities. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $23.2 million, or 2.6%, primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances of $48.9 million, partially offset by a $26.5 million increase in the average balance of deposits (primarily money market accounts and time deposits), while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 40 basis points to 2.52% due to the lower interest rate environment and less reliance on higher-costing FHLB advances. The net interest margin increased by 84 basis points to 3.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 3.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The provision for credit losses increased by $15,000, or 1.7%, from $889,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to $904,000 for the current quarter. The increase in the provision was primarily due to higher loan balances and an increase in net charge-offs. Net charge-offs increased by $619,000 from $344,000 for the third quarter of 2024 to $963,000 for the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a charge-off on commercial real estate property of $629,000 in the third quarter of 2025. Year-to-date, the provision for credit losses decreased by $263,000, or 18.5%, from $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in the provision was primarily due to a change in the composition of the loan portfolio as net charge-offs and loan balances decreased on indirect automobile loans and increased on commercial and commercial real-estate loans. Net charge-offs increased $137,000, or 9.6% to $1.6 million for the first nine months of 2025 as compared to $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased net charge-offs on commercial and commercial real-estate loans, partially offset by decreased net charge-offs on indirect automobile loans and other consumer loans. The percentage of overdue account balances to total loans decreased to 1.31% at September 30, 2025 from 1.71% at December 31, 2024, while non-performing assets decreased $389,000, or 9.4%, to $3.7 million at September 30, 2025. Non-interest income totaled $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $10.0 million for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of $11.9 million. The prior-year period included a $12.0 million loss on the sale of investment securities related to the Company's balance sheet restructuring. Excluding this loss, non-interest income would have decreased $65,000 from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $1.9 million for the current period. This decrease was primarily due to a $412,000 decrease in income related to life insurance proceeds recognized during the third quarter of 2024. This decrease was substantially offset by a $245,000 increase in other non-interest income, primarily due to higher swap income; a $92,000, or 24.5%, increase in investment advisory income, and a $39,000 increase in gain on sale of loans. Non-interest income totaled $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $6.8 million for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of $12.1 million. The net loss in the prior-year period was primarily attributable to a $12.0 million loss on the sale of investment securities in connection with the Company's 2024 balance sheet restructuring. Excluding this loss, non-interest income would have increased by $92,000, from $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in non-interest income reflects a $484,000, or 67.1%, increase in other non-interest income, primarily due to higher swap income, and a $65,000 increase in gain on sales of loans. These increases were largely offset by a $412,000 decrease in income related to life insurance proceeds recognized during the third quarter of 2024 and a $62,000 decrease in investment advisory income. For the third quarter of 2025, non-interest expense rose to $9.7 million, reflecting a $646,000, or 7.1%, increase compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits which rose $427,000, or 8.5%, primarily due to increased incentive compensation and production commissions. Other non-interest expense grew by $158,000, or 10.2%, driven primarily by higher retail banking costs. Occupancy expense increased by $47,000, or 4.5%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, non-interest expense totaled $28.9 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 7.6%, compared to $26.9 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher compensation and operating costs across multiple categories. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $899,000, or 6.0%, primarily due to higher incentive-based compensation, production commissions and annual merit increases aimed at retaining and attracting talent. Other non-interest expense rose by $605,000, or 12.9%, largely due to increased retail banking and administrative costs. Marketing expense increased by $209,000, or 57.3%. Occupancy expense increased by $118,000, or 3.7%, due to higher facilities-related costs. Professional fees increased by $88,000, or 6.4%. FDIC deposit insurance and other insurance increased by $63,000, or 7.8%, and data processing expense rose by $62,000, or 4.1%. Balance Sheet Analysis Total assets increased by $60.2 million, or 4.8%, to $1.32 billion as of September 30, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents rose by $66.0 million, or 176.0%, driven by higher interest-bearing deposits and proceeds from the decrease in available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities decreased by $11.0 million, or 6.9%, primarily due to $38.7 million in paydowns, calls, and maturities, partially offset by $23.3 million in purchases and a $4.5 million reduction in unrealized losses. Loans receivable increased by $5.9 million, or 0.6%, to $977.6 million, primarily reflecting a $57.8 million increase in commercial real estate loans and a $12.5 million increase in residential real estate loans, largely offset by a strategic decrease of $61.6 million in indirect automobile loans, in line with our decision to reduce their share of the portfolio. Past due loans decreased $3.8 million, or 22.9%, to $12.9 million, or 1.31% of total loans at September 30, 2025, down from $16.7 million, or 1.71% of total loans at December 31, 2024. The decrease was most notable in indirect automobile loans, reflecting the positive impact of more conservative underwriting standards. The allowance for credit losses was 0.83% of total loans and 218.85% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2025 as compared to 0.88% of total loans and 206.56% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2024. Non-performing assets totaled $3.7 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $389,000, or 9.4%, from $4.1 million at December 31, 2024. Total liabilities increased by $49.1 million, or 4.3%, to $1.18 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $95.0 million, or 9.3%, increase in deposits. The growth in deposits was mostly attributable to an $80.5 million, or 10.3%, increase in interest-bearing deposits, while non-interest-bearing deposits increased by $14.6 million, or 6.1%. Uninsured deposits were approximately 28.5% and 26.9% of the Bank's total deposits as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in deposits was partially offset by a $43.2 million, or 61.9%, reduction in borrowings as deposit growth outpaced loan growth, allowing excess cash to be used to pay down debt. Stockholders' equity increased $11.2 million, or 9.2%, to $133.0 million at September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to net income of $7.7 million and a $3.4 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to the balance sheet restructuring and the decreased interest rate environment. The Company's ratio of average equity to average assets was 10.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 9.23% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, measures determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP are included below. Loss on available-for-sale securities is excluded from the following calculations as management believes that this presentation provides further comparability of net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share and the efficiency ratio and is consistent with industry practice.
