Bogota Financial Corp. Reports Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026

Kevin Pace, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bogota Financial Corp.

“We are excited to mark another important milestone in Bogota Savings Bank’s continued growth with the opening of our newest location in Point Pleasant, New Jersey as part of our strategic expansion into the southern New Jersey market. This allows us to serve our already extensive customer base in the Central and South Jersey markets and reflects our confidence and commitment in the opportunities within that market. We are particularly encouraged by our financial performance through the first nine months of 2026. Net income increased 36% to $1.9 million compared to the same period last year, while net interest income grew 13.9% to $12.7 million. We also achieved meaningful improvements in our net interest margin and net interest rate spread, reflecting continued progress in managing our funding costs and strengthening our core earnings performance. These results demonstrate the benefits of our ongoing focus on operational discipline, balance sheet management, and long-term financial performance. We recognize that the banking industry continues to navigate a challenging and evolving environment, characterized by interest rate uncertainty, heightened competition for deposits, changing customer expectations, and broader economic pressures. Against this backdrop, we remain focused on maintaining a strong financial foundation, managing risk prudently, and pursuing opportunities that support sustainable growth.”
