Pathfinder Bancorp reports Q2 EPS 32c vs. 32c last year

“Our outlook remains positive, bolstered by the recent acquisition of the East Syracuse branch completed last week, strategically strengthening Pathfinder’s presence in Central New York. This region is positioned for outstanding economic growth through significant public and private investments in the semiconductor industry and its supporting infrastructure. With $186 million in deposits and $30 million in loans, the branch acquisition is designed to improve our liquidity profile and earnings, while enhancing our ability to serve the community in this dynamic market,” said President and Chief Executive Officer James A. Dowd. “We are also pleased with the improvement in net interest margin, which has modestly expanded for two consecutive quarters in what continues to be an unprecedented interest rate environment.”
