“I am extremely pleased with the record results Orange County Bancorp has achieved for the second quarter”, said Michael Gilfeather, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These earnings are not the result of any single factor, but rather represent contributions from all segments of the organization across our business lines and geographic footprint. Loans and deposits, the bank’s core operations, continue to show significant, but measured growth, without pursuing higher risk loans or higher cost deposits. Our ongoing investments into Rockland and Westchester counties continue to significantly contribute to our profitable growth, and we are pleased to report the exploration of new markets for expansion will remain a key initiative within the Company’s strategy. Our Trust and Asset Management businesses also performed well, leading to a meaningful increase in fee and non-interest related income. And our newest initiative, Private Banking, continues to grow, helping both clients and the Company better leverage the capabilities of our organization.
These results reflect the impact of the strategic plan we put in place several years ago, but would not have been possible had we not identified and built upon Orange’s core competencies. None of those is more important than knowing our clients and delivering the highest quality solutions and services. I thank our clients for their trust, our employees for their hard work, and our shareholders for their continued patience and support.”
