President and Chief Executive Officer’s Comments
Carlos P. Naudon, Ponce Financial Group, Inc.’s President and CEO, stated “In these uncertain times, we continue to execute on our long-term strategy of increasing margin through yield improvement and controlled cost of funds and operating expenses. We are very pleased with the results. We note our incremental profitability year-on-year and the consistency of our earnings. Our diluted earnings per share of $0.77 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, more than doubled from the same period last year, driven by incremental net interest and non-interest income, achieved while keeping non-interest expenses almost flat. Our net interest margin this quarter increased by 3 basis points compared to the prior quarter, reflecting our decreasing funding costs. We were also busy working on the future and opened a new branch in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan and modernized our charter, becoming both a financial holding company and a bank holding company while Ponce Bank converted to a national bank. These developments should enhance our funding sources and level our playing fields.”
Executive Chairman’s Comment
Steven A. Tsavaris, Ponce Financial Group’s Executive Chairman added “We continue to make progress towards our commitments under the U.S. Treasury’s Emergency Capital Investment Program. Our strong level of loan originations from April 2025 to September 2025 ensures that our dividend yield will continue at the 0.50% level in the next dividend period starting in 2026. Also, we’re mindful of our percentage of deep impact lending, as we need to be at 60% or above for 16 quarters cumulatively, as a condition to buy the preferred stock back. After 13 quarters, including the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we are at 81% deep impact lending.”
