Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blue Foundry Bancorp (the “Company”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Foundry Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, TrackView LLC and Blue Foundry Investment Company (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Blue Foundry Bancorp owns 100% of the common stock of Blue Foundry Bank.
Segment Reporting: The Company operates as a single operating segment for financial reporting purposes.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation: The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain information and note disclosures usually included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the preparation of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and with Regulation S-X. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of income for the periods presented. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some items in the prior year financial statements may be reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The results of operations and other data presented for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for subsequent periods or the full year results. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed on March 27, 2024.
The accounting policies of the Company conform to U.S. GAAP and to general practice within the financial services industry. A discussion of these policies can be found in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except for the below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since December 31, 2023.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted: As an “emerging growth company” as defined in Title 1 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act, the Company elected to use the extended transition period to delay the adoption of new or reissued accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements were made applicable to private companies.

Credit Quality Indicators
Credit ratings are a key measure for estimating the probability of a bond’s default and for monitoring credit quality on an on-going basis. For bonds other than U.S. Treasuries and bonds issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, credit ratings issued by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organization are considered in conjunction with an assessment by the Company’s management. Investment grade reflects a credit quality of BBB- or above. None of the Company’s securities are on non-accrual status, nor are any past due.
The table below indicates the credit profile of the Company’s debt securities held-to-maturity at amortized cost for the periods shown.

Loans receivable, net$1,540,428 $1,546,576 
(1) For more information, see Footnote 4 - Allowance for Credit Losses.
Loans are recorded at amortized cost, which includes principal balance, net deferred fees or costs, premiums and discounts. The Company elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from amortized cost. Accrued interest receivable is reported separately in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $6.2 million and $6.1 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net fee or cost is recognized in interest income as an adjustment of yield. At both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, net deferred loan fees totaled $2.0 million.
The portfolio classes in the above table have unique risk characteristics with respect to credit quality:
•Payment on multifamily and commercial real estate mortgages is driven principally by operating results of the managed properties or underlying business and secondarily by the sale or refinance of such properties. Both primary and secondary sources of repayment and the value of the properties in liquidation, may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general.
•Properties underlying construction loans often do not generate sufficient cash flows to service debt and thus repayment is subject to the ability of the borrower and, if applicable, guarantors, to complete development or construction of the property and carry the project, often for extended periods of time. As a result, the performance of these loans is contingent upon future events whose probability at the time of origination is uncertain.



14
BLUE FOUNDRY BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



•Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans include C&I revolving lines of credit, term loans, SBA 7a loans and to a lesser extent, Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans. Payments on C&I loans are driven principally by the cash flows of the businesses and secondarily by the sale or refinance of any collateral securing the loans. Both the cash flow and value of the collateral in liquidation may be affected by adverse general economic conditions.
•The ability of borrowers to service debt in the residential, junior liens and consumer loan portfolios is generally subject to personal income which may be impacted by general economic conditions, such as increased unemployment levels. These loans are predominately collateralized by first and second liens on single family properties. If a borrower cannot maintain the loan, the Company’s ability to recover against the collateral in sufficient amount and in a timely manner may be significantly influenced by market, legal and regulatory conditions.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the quality and realizable value of collateral, if any, and the ability of borrowers to service their debts 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 by credit risk. This analysis is performed whenever credit is extended, renewed, or modified, or when an observable event occurs indicating a potential decline in credit quality, and no less than annually for large balance loans. The Company used the following definitions for risk ratings for loan classification:
Pass – Loans classified as pass are loans performing under the original contractual terms, do not currently pose any identified risk and can range from the highest to pass/watch quality, depending on the degree of potential risk.
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 Company’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound 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 repayment and liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by a distinct possibility that the Company 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 known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss – Assets classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Securities
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of the allowance of credit losses on securities was $140 thousand and $158 thousand, respectively. The Company recorded a decrease in provision for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities of $18 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and a provision for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities of $17 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the Company recorded an allowance of credit losses on securities of $170 thousand upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. Accrued interest receivable on securities is reported as a component of accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $1.8 million and $1.5 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company made the election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the estimate of credit losses on securities.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Off-Balance-Sheet Exposures
The allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet exposures is reported in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The liability represents an estimate of expected credit losses arising from off-balance-sheet exposures such as letters of credit, guarantees and unfunded loan commitments. The process for measuring lifetime expected credit losses on these exposures is consistent with that for loans as discussed above, but is subject to an additional estimate reflecting the likelihood that funding will occur. No liability is recognized for off-balance-sheet credit exposures that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Adjustments to the liability are reported as a component of provision for credit losses.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of the allowance for credit losses for off-balance-sheet exposures was $182 thousand and $303 thousand, respectively. The Company recorded a recovery of provision for credit loss on off-balance-sheet exposures of $121 thousand and $130 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company also recorded a decrease in the allowance for credit losses for off-balance-sheet exposures of $811 thousand upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023.

NOTE 7 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Company maintains an ESOP, a tax-qualified plan designed to invest primarily in the Company’s common stock. The ESOP provides employees with the opportunity to receive a funded retirement benefit from the Bank, based primarily on the value of the Company’s common stock.
The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company to purchase 2,281,800 shares of stock at $10 per share. The loan is secured by the shares purchased, which are held until allocated to participants. Shares are released for allocation to participants as loan payments are made. Loan payments are principally funded by discretionary cash contributions by the Bank, as well as dividends, if any, paid to the ESOP on unallocated shares. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants at the end of the plan year (December 31) based on relative compensation, subject to federal tax law limits. Participants receive the allocated vested shares at the end of employment. Dividends on allocated shares, if any, increase participants accounts.
At March 31, 2024, the principal balance on the ESOP loan was $20.6 million. There were no contributions to the ESOP during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as loan payments are made annually during the fourth quarter of each year. ESOP shares are committed to be released from unallocated and compensation expense is recognized over the service period. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 2,007,984 unallocated shares and 273,816 shares allocated to participants. The fair value of unallocated shares at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $18.8 million and $19.4 million, respectively, computed using the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on each date.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, ESOP compensation expense for the shares committed to be released from unallocated was $214 thousand and $262 thousand respectively. Shares committed to be released from unallocated total 22,818 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
Equity Incentive Plan
At the annual meeting held on August 25, 2022, shareholders of the Company approved the Blue Foundry Bancorp 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Plan”) which provides for the granting of up to 3,993,150 shares (1,140,900 restricted stock awards and 2,852,250 stock options) of the Company’s common stock.
Restricted shares granted under the Equity Plan generally vest in equal installments, over a service period between five and seven years beginning one year from the date of grant. Additionally, certain restricted shares awarded can be performance vesting awards, which may or may not vest depending upon the attainment of certain corporate financial targets. The vesting of the awards accelerate upon death, disability or an involuntary termination at or following a change in control. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date closing market price of the Company’s common stock determine the fair value of restricted shares under the Equity Plan. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Stock options granted under the Equity Plan generally vest in equal installments, over a service period between five and seven years beginning one year from the date of grant. The vesting of the options accelerate upon death, disability or an involuntary termination at or following a change in control. Stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date based on the closing market price and have an expiration period of ten years.
There were 48,133 stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The fair value of stock options granted during the first quarter of 2024 were estimated utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model: an expected life of 6.50 years, risk-free rate of 3.94%, volatility of 32.26% and a dividend yield of 0.84%. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Due to the limited historical information of the Company’s stock, management considered the weighted historical volatility of the Company and similar entities for an appropriate period in determining the volatility rate used in the estimation of fair value. The expected life of the stock option was estimated using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of these awards, which have straight-line vesting, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Upon exercise of vested options, management expects to draw on treasury stock as the source for shares.

Of these grants, 2,900 vest one year from the date of grant, 19,255 and 162,470 vest in equal installments over five and six years, respectively, beginning one year from the date of grant. The Company also issued 193,070 performance-based restricted stock awards to its officers with a total grant date fair value of $1.8 million. Vesting of the performance-based restricted stock units will be based on achievement of certain levels of loan growth, deposit growth and net interest margin and will convert to a four-year time vest after the three-year measurement period ending December 31, 2026. At the end of the performance period, the number of actual shares to be awarded may vary between 0% and 100% of target amounts.
During the first quarter of 2024, 347,640 of performance-based restricted stock awards were forfeited when none of the performance target metrics were met.

The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.
The Company had interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $254.0 million and $259.0 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, they were designated as cash flow hedges of certain Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and brokered deposits. They were determined to be highly effective during all periods presented. The Company expects the hedges to remain highly effective during the remaining terms of the swaps.
Summary information about the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of period-end is as follows:

At March 31, 2024, the Company held $10.8 million as cash collateral pledged from the counterparty for these interest-rate swaps and had no securities pledged to the counterparty. At December 31, 2023, the Company held $8.1 million as cash collateral pledged from the counterparty and had no securities pledged to the counterparty.
Interest income or expense recorded on these swap transactions is reported as a component of interest expense on FHLB advances or brokered deposits. Interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 totaled $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. At March 31, 2024, the Company expected $4.5 million of the unrealized gain to be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense during the remainder of 2024.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
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:
Securities: For securities available-for-sale and equity securities, fair value was estimated using a market approach. The majority of the Company’s securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets. Prices for these instruments are obtained through third party data service providers or dealer market participants with which the Company has historically transacted both purchases and sales of securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing, a Level 2 input as defined by ASC 820, is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain securities to benchmark or comparable securities. The Company evaluates the quality of Level 2 matrix pricing through comparison to similar assets with greater liquidity and evaluation of projected cash flows. The Company also holds debt instruments issued by the U.S. government and U.S. government sponsored agencies that are traded in active markets with readily accessible quoted market prices that are considered Level 1 inputs.


29
BLUE FOUNDRY BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Derivatives: The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). The Company’s derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services.
Impaired loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses 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. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Other real estate owned (OREO): Property acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is carried at fair value less estimated disposal costs of the acquired property. Fair value of OREO is based on the appraised value of the collateral using discount rates similar to those used in impaired loan valuation.

Other Fair Value Disclosures
Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions for the Company’s financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are set forth below.
Securities held-to-maturity: The Company’s securities held-to-maturity portfolio is carried at amortized cost less allowance for credit losses. The fair values of debt securities held-to-maturity are provided by a third-party pricing service. The pricing service may use quoted market prices of comparable instruments or a variety of other forms of analysis, incorporating inputs that are currently observable in the markets for similar securities. Inputs that are often used in the valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, credit spreads, default rates, prepayment speeds and non-binding broker quotes.
Loans, net: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as residential mortgage and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and non-performing categories. Estimated fair value of loans is determined using a discounted cash flow model that employs an exit discount rate that reflects the current market pricing for loans with similar characteristics and remaining maturity, adjusted for estimated credit losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date.
Time deposits: The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using rates for currently offered deposits of similar remaining maturities.


31
BLUE FOUNDRY BANCORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Federal Home Loan Bank advances: The fair value of borrowings is based on securities dealers’ estimated fair values, when available, or estimated using discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rates used approximate the rates offered for similar borrowings of similar remaining terms.
The following tables present the book value, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments not recorded at fair values in their entirety on a recurring basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The fair value measurements presented are consistent with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, in which fair value represents exit price.
These tables exclude financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. Financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value include cash and cash equivalents, other investments, non-maturity deposits, overnight borrowings and accrued interest, which are excluded from the table below.

NOTE 12 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares (such as unexercised stock options and unvested restricted stock) were exercised or converted into additional common shares that would then share in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus the effect of potential dilutive common share equivalents.
Shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) that have not been allocated to employees in accordance with the terms of the ESOP, referred to as “unallocated ESOP shares,” are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, anti-dilutive equity awards totaling 909,804 were excluded from the earnings per share calculation. Due to the Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units had an antidilutive effect on diluted earnings per share.
NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As defined in FASB ASC 855, “Subsequent Events,” subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Financial statements are considered issued when they are widely distributed to stockholders and other financial statement users for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with U.S. GAAP. The Company performed an evaluation and determined that there are no subsequent events to report.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section is intended to assist in the understanding of the financial performance of the Company and its subsidiary through a discussion of our financial condition as of March 31, 2024, and our results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. This section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and


34


Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which are based on certain current assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “potential,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “target” and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. 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 and yields, the fair value of financial instruments or our level of loan originations, or increase the level of defaults, losses and prepayments on loans we have made and make; adverse changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets; changes in monetary or fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; 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; 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; changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees, capital requirements and insurance premiums; changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios; technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected; a failure or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, including cyber-attacks; the inability of third party providers to perform as expected; our ability to manage market risk, credit risk and operational risk in the current economic environment; our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; 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 there to; 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; our ability to retain key employees; the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, terrorism or other geopolitical events; the ability of the U.S. Government to manage federal debt limits; and changes in the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own.
Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we do not undertake, and we specifically disclaim any obligation, to release publicly the results of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
General. The Company recorded a net loss of $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $2.0 million, or 10.7%, to $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by increases in rates earned on most categories of interest-earning assets and an increase in the average balances of cash and cash equivalents and loans of $5.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 43 basis points to 4.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from 3.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $4.5 million driven by increases in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and an increase in the average balance of FHLB advances. Average balances of FHLB advances and time deposits increased $14.4 million and $203.0 million, respectively, while the average balances of interest-bearing core deposits decreased $189.2 million when compared to the first quarter of 2023. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 109 basis points to 2.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from 1.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Net Interest Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net interest income was $9.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively. Net interest spread decreased 66 basis points to 1.39% and net interest margin decreased 50 basis points to 1.92%.
Provision for Credit Losses. The Company recorded a $535 thousand release of provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a $23 thousand release of provision for credit losses for the same period of 2023. For March 31, 2024, the release of provision on loans of $396 thousand and the release of provision on commitments and letters of credit of $121 thousand driven by forecasted improvements to economic drivers used to model credit losses, coupled with a decline in portfolio balances and unused lines. In addition, the release of provision included a $18 thousand release on securities. As of March 31, 2024, the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) on loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.88%.
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $33 thousand, or 6.8%, to $451 thousand for the first quarter of 2024 from $484 thousand for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in non-interest income from the prior year period was primarily related to a decline in the gain on sale of loans partially offset by an increase in loan fees.
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $415 thousand to $13.2 million for the first quarter of 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by decreases of $298 thousand in compensation and benefits expenses, $250 thousand decrease in professional fees and $214 thousand in data processing expense, partially offset by an increase of $210 thousand in occupancy and equipment expense.
Income Tax Expense. The Company’s current tax position reflects the previously established full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. At March 31, 2024, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was $23.5 million. The Company did not record a tax benefit for the loss incurred during the current or previous year quarter due to the full valuation allowance required on its deferred tax assets.

This represents a decrease of $5.0 million from December 31, 2023, when we had $259.0 million in interest rate hedges with a weighted average duration of 3.2 years and a weighted average rate of 2.58%. See Note 8, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 1- Financial Statements.”
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Qualitative Analysis. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our balance sheet and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Our ALCO/Investment Committee, which consists of members of management, is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by our board of directors. We currently utilize a modeling program, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate our sensitivity to changing interest rates, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: growing target deposit accounts, such as small business accounts; utilizing our investment securities portfolio and interest rate swaps as part of our balance sheet asset and liability and interest rate risk management strategy to reduce the impact of movements in interest rates on net interest income and economic value of equity, which can create temporary valuation adjustments to equity in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income; continuing the diversification of our loan portfolio by adding more commercial loans, which typically have shorter maturities and/or balloon payments.


39


By following these strategies, we believe that we are positioned to react to increases and decreases in market interest rates.
Other than cash flow hedging on interest expense, we generally do not engage in hedging activities such as engaging in futures or options, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage-backed securities.
The Company has entered into derivative financial instruments to reduce risk associated with interest rate volatility by matching asset maturities and liability maturities. These derivatives had an aggregate notional amount of $254.0 million as of March 31, 2024.
Quantitative Analysis. We compute amounts by which the net present value of our cash flow from assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet items would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The economic value of equity (“EVE”) analysis estimates the change in the net present value (“NPV”) of assets and liabilities and off-balance-sheet contracts over a range of immediate rate shock interest rate scenarios. This model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. The model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance-sheet contract under the assumption that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously by 100 to 200 basis points in 100 basis point increments. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100-basis point increase in the “Basis Point Change in Interest Rates” column below.
The following table sets forth, at March 31, 2024, the calculation of the estimated changes to the Bank’s net interest income, at the Bank level, that would result from the specified immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve. For purposes of this table, 100 basis points equals 1%.

The tables above indicates that at March 31, 2024, in the event of an instantaneous 100 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 24% decrease in EVE. In the event of an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 25% increase in EVE.

Certain short comings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The above tables assume that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the date indicated remains constant uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, the data does not reflect any actions we may take in response to changes in interest rates. In addition, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our NPV and will differ from actual results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, maturity of securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and, to a lesser extent, proceeds from the sale of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds and prepayments on loans are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (4) the objectives of our interest-rate risk and investment policies.
At March 31, 2024, we had $7.6 million in commitments to originate loans and unused lines of credit totaled $84.1 million. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current loan origination and lines of credit commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from March 31, 2024 totaled $622.4 million. Management expects, based on historical experience, that a deposit relationship will be retained with a substantial portion of certificate holders. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense. Available borrowing capacity at March 31, 2024 was $379.7 million with Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, a $30.0 million line of credit with a correspondent bank and a $3.2 million line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Total available borrowing capacity is 3.1 times total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits to third-party customers. The estimated fair market value of unencumbered securities totaled $280.6 million or 95.5% of the portfolio at March 31, 2024.
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 originate loans, unused lines of credit and standby letters of 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 that we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Management believes that our current sources of liquidity are more than sufficient to fulfill our obligations as of March 31, 2024 pursuant to off-balance-sheet arrangements and contractual obligations.
