Orange County Bancorp, Inc. serves businesses, individuals and local governments mainly in New York’s Lower Hudson Valley and metropolitan area. Its Orange Bank & Trust Company attracts customer deposits through banking relationships and cash-management services, then uses those funds to make loans and hold interest-earning investments. Banking generates most of its revenue. Most loans are secured by commercial real estate in its local markets, so repayment depends heavily on borrowers’ business and property income. The business also depends on retaining deposits at costs that leave a margin over the interest it earns.
The bank’s trust department and Orange Investment Advisors, Inc. (OIA) provide a smaller revenue stream by managing clients’ investments and trusts. Clients pay fees generally based on the market value of assets managed, linking this income to client assets and market levels.
Bank capital requirements constrain distributions, and legal and regulatory limits restrict how much cash Orange Bank & Trust Company can pass to the parent company as dividends.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
Center Bancorp Inc is included for ConnectOne Bank’s competition with Orange Bank for business loans and deposits in the Hudson Valley and wider New York metropolitan area. ConnectOne lends to small and mid-sized businesses and uses deposits to fund lending, so its progress winning those customers is worth watching for pressure on Orange Bank.
Tompkins Financial Corporation competes with Orange Bank for Hudson Valley businesses’ borrowing and deposits, as well as clients seeking wealth management. Watch its local business lending, deposit gathering and wealth-management relationships for signs of competitive pressure on Orange Bank.
Hanover Bancorp, Inc., through Hanover Community Bank, competes with Orange Bank to lend to businesses and attract business and municipal deposits across the New York metropolitan market. Watch its municipal banking relationships: local-government deposits accounted for 10.1% of Orange County Bancorp’s total deposits at December 31, 2025.
NBT Bancorp Inc’s regional banking results offer a useful comparison for Orange Bank because both take deposits and make loans in New York and nearby northeastern markets. Watch NBT Bank’s loan credit quality and competition for deposits for clues to the regional lending conditions and funding pressure Orange Bank faces.
Center Bancorp Inc earningsCNOB
ConnectOne competes with Orange County Bancorp for small-business loans and deposits in the New York metro area and Hudson Valley, and its report will show how strongly it is winning those customers.
Look at whether ConnectOne's loans and deposits are both growing, and at what it pays for deposits. Growth in both suggests it is actively pursuing business customers Orange County Bancorp also serves; rising deposit costs would suggest banks are paying more to hold on to funding. Slower growth without higher funding costs points to less competitive pressure, but does not tell us how Orange County Bancorp itself performed.
NBT Bancorp Inc earningsNBTB
NBT Bancorp takes deposits and makes loans in New York and nearby markets, so its report offers a comparison for the regional credit and funding pressures Orange County Bancorp faces.
Read changes in NBT's loan delinquencies or credit-loss provisions alongside its deposit costs. Stable credit quality and contained costs would show no clear sign of heightened strain at this regional bank; rising delinquencies or provisions together with higher deposit costs would point to mounting borrower and funding pressure. NBT's loan mix is not the same as Orange County Bancorp's commercial-real-estate-heavy portfolio, so its results are a signal about the setting, not a substitute for Orange County Bancorp's own credit data.
Orange County Bancorp, Inc. earningsThis company
The spread between loan income and deposit costs is Orange County Bancorp's main source of revenue, and this report will show whether that income is holding up against funding costs and loan risk.
Read net interest income alongside deposit costs: steady or rising income with contained deposit costs means the bank is still turning lending into earnings; rising deposit costs with weaker income means funding pressure is eating into that income. Then check loan delinquencies and credit-loss provisions. For a bank with a large commercial real estate portfolio, increases would show borrower stress becoming a cost. Stability on both fronts would show the lending business is holding up against funding and credit pressure.
Hanover Bancorp, Inc. earningsHNVR
Hanover competes with Orange County Bancorp for municipal and business deposits in the New York metro area, and its report can show the pressure banks face in attracting and retaining those funds.
Watch for any discussion of Hanover's municipal-deposit retention, alongside its deposit balances and funding costs. Stable municipal deposits and contained costs would suggest no clear sign of increased pressure at this New York metro-area bank; runoff or higher costs would indicate banks may have to pay more to keep funding. Municipal deposits were 10.1% of Orange County Bancorp's total deposits at December 31, 2025, making this pressure relevant, though Hanover's results cannot establish that Orange County Bancorp's municipal deposits changed in the same way.

If it comes in above expectations
Higher rates may lift yields on loans that reprice and new lending, but can also raise the interest Orange Bank & Trust pays to retain deposits; the net effect on its interest income depends on how those changes compare.
If it comes in below expectations
Lower rates may reduce yields on loans that reprice and new lending, while easing the interest Orange Bank & Trust pays for deposits; the net effect depends on how quickly each side adjusts.
