This represents an increase of 38.28% compared to $5,289,000 or $3.06 earnings per share for the nine months ending in the prior year. When factoring out the life insurance proceeds, net income was $6,761,000 or $3.91 per share, showcasing a 27.83% rise from last year.

Management's Perspective on Progress
CEO Anthony Gabello commented on the substantial performance stating that the bank has yielded solid results for both the third quarter and the year to date 2025. He attributed this success to elevated net interest income levels stemming from loan growth and asset repricing, which have effectively countered the increases in salaries and other operating costs. Gabello further noted that despite the windfall from life insurance gains, there was still a strong improvement in net income, excluding these gains.
Community Engagement and Commitment
Gabello highlighted the successful operation of the recently opened Keyser Village Office, which has outperformed expectations and expanded the bank’s footprint in the community. He reinforced the company’s pledge to deliver exceptional banking services tailored for shareholders, customers, and the local community.
