FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Orange County Bancorp, Inc. Announces Record Second Quarter Earnings: Net Income increased $3.2 million, or 30.6%, to $13.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, from $10.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, marking record second quarter earnings Net Interest Margin increased 38 basis points, or 9.4%, to 4.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from 4.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 Total Deposits increased $120.8 million, or 5.2%, to $2.4 billion at June 30, 2026, from $2.3 billion at June 30, 2025 Total Loans, including loans held-for-sale, were approximately $2.0 billion at June 30, 2026, from a comparable level at December 31, 2025 and $1.9 billion at June 30, 2025 Earnings per share increased $0.15 per share, or 17.2%, to $1.02 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $0.87 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 Book value per share grew $1.60, or 7.5%, to $22.87 at June 30, 2026, from $21.27 at December 31, 2025 MIDDLETOWN, N.Y., July 28, 2026 – Orange County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” - Nasdaq: OBT), parent company of Orange Bank & Trust Co. (the “Bank”) and Orange Investment Advisors, Inc. (“OIA”), today announced net income of $13.7 million, or $1.02 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2026. This compares with net income of $10.5 million, or $0.87 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in earnings per share, basic and diluted, was due primarily to an increase in net interest income, a one-time reduction in deferred tax valuation allowance, and a reduction in provision for credit losses partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income, resulting from the recognition of a valuation loss related to loans held-for-sale, during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income reached $24.9 million, or $1.87 per basic and diluted share, as compared to $19.2 million, or $1.64 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Book value per share grew $1.60, or 7.5%, from $21.27 at December 31, 2025 to $22.87 at June 30, 2026. Tangible book value per share grew $1.61, or 7.7%, from $20.83 at December 31, 2025 to $22.44 at June 30, 2026 (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation” below for additional detail). These increases were due primarily to earnings growth and included the reclassification of treatment of equity compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as well as reversal of the valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax asset offset by the valuation loss on loans held-for-sale. “I am pleased to announce record second quarter financial results for the Bank led by continued growth of our low-cost deposit base and strength in net interest margin,” said Orange County Bancorp President and CEO Michael Gilfeather. “Our success reflects the unrelenting focus of our organization and ability to navigate challenging financial conditions as we continue to execute our strategic plan.” “For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company earned $13.7 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 30.6%, over the same quarter last year. Our results reflect strong overall performance, but also a meaningful contribution from a $5.3 million valuation allowance reversal related to our deferred tax asset largely offset by a $4.8 million fair value adjustment to loans held-for-sale. Adjusted for these items, the Company’s net income would have been approximately $12.6 million *. Total loans, including those held-for-sale, increased $23.6 million at quarter end, holding our total loan portfolio relatively flat at $2.0 billion versus year-end 2025. The trajectory of our loan growth has been impacted by unanticipated payoffs aggregating $81.1 million during the first half of 2026 as compared to $28.5 million during the same period last year. Our new loan pipeline remains robust, and we would anticipate these returning to more normal growth levels. The average yield on our loan portfolio was 6.03% for the second quarter of 2026, up 3 basis points from the same period last year. Total deposit growth continued its favorable trend and remains a central element of our success - increasing $120.8 million, or 5.2%, to $2.4 billion at June 30, 2026 from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2025. The bulk of this growth came in core deposits, enabling us to nearly eliminate our use of higher cost broker-sourced deposits or borrowings. Success in our strategic efforts to attract low cost, organically – sourced deposits resulted in an average cost of deposits for the current quarter of 0.96%, down 35 basis points, or 26.6% from Q2 2025 and down 9 basis points or 8.2% versus Q1 2026. This is and will remain a key competitive strength of the Bank. Not surprisingly, reduced deposit costs and increased loan yields resulted in a 38-basis point improvement in net interest margin from 4.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to 4.44% for the quarter just ended. Prepayment fees associated with payoffs of existing loans also contributed to the margin expansion. The combination of our core strength, strong client relationships, low-cost deposit base and robust quality loan pipeline – give us confidence in our ability to deliver strong financial results. Our Wealth Management division also appears to be stabilizing following a pullback related to key staff changes earlier this year. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, Wealth Management earned $3.2 million, down $178 thousand, or 5.2% versus the same quarter last year but down only $51 thousand, or 1.56% versus the prior quarter. Earnings for Wealth Management were impacted by a reduction in assets under management (AUM), primarily due to residual effects from last year’s divisional restructuring. We view Wealth Management as a key component of our business strategy and client value proposition. * See Non-GAAP reconciliation table on p.5.

The resiliency of our strategic plan, commitment and professionalism of our employees gives us the tools to manage market challenges, as our second quarter results show. We are proud of our performance and remain optimistic about opportunities ahead. We also remain confident in our ability to respond to evolving market conditions and draw on our experience and expertise to continue to manage risks, support our clients, and pursue compelling business opportunities. I again thank our employees, customers, and shareholders for their continued confidence and support.” Second Quarter and Year to Date 2026 Financial Review Net Income Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $13.7 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 30.6%, from net income of $10.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. The growth in net income represents a combination of increased net interest income and reduced provision for credit losses, partially offset by reduced non-interest income during the quarter, which included a valuation loss of $4.8 million related to loans held-for-sale. The improvement in the provision for credit losses represents the effect of slower loan growth resulting from accelerated loan repayments combined with lower reserve requirements related to the composition and performance of the loan portfolio and the associated impact of the resolution of certain nonperforming credits. The Company also reversed the valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax asset and recognized additional earnings of approximately $5.3 million. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $24.9 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or 30.1%, from net income of $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Net Interest Income For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net interest income rose $3.3 million, or 13.1%, to $28.4 million as compared to $25.1 million during the same period last year reflecting an increase in total interest income of $1.5 million as a result of growth in interest and fees associated with loans and a $2.0 million decrease in total interest expense due to lower interest expense resulting from reduced borrowing costs during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net interest income reached $56.3 million representing an increase of $7.6 million, or 15.5% compared to the same period last year. Total interest income rose $1.3 million, or 4.0%, to $34.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $33.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase reflected 5.4% growth in interest and fees associated with loans coupled with increased interest income associated with fed funds and balances held at correspondent banks offset by a net decrease in interest income associated with investment securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total interest income rose $3.8 million, or 5.9%, to $68.9 million as compared to $65.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Total interest expense decreased $2.0 million during the second quarter of 2026, to $6.1 million, as compared to $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2025. Interest expense associated with savings and NOW accounts totaled $5.3 million during the second quarter of 2026 which was approximately the same as during the second quarter of 2025. Interest expense from FHLB advances and borrowings during the current quarter totaled $134 thousand as compared to $375 thousand during the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower average balances and costs associated with FHLB borrowings. Interest expense associated with time deposits decreased to $256 thousand for the second quarter of 2026 from $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. This decrease represented the impact of lower brokered deposit levels due to increased core deposits over the same time period. Interest expense related to subordinated notes increased and totaled $430 thousand during the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $231 thousand during the second quarter of 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, total interest expense fell $3.7 million, to $12.7 million, as compared to $16.4 million for the same period last year. Provision for Credit Losses Provision for credit losses reflected a net recovery of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to an expense of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The 2026 recovery was due primarily to slower loan growth combined with lower reserves associated with the composition of loans closed during the second quarter of 2026. The allowance for credit losses to loans was 1.38% as of June 30, 2026 versus 1.45% as of December 31, 2025 and 1.48% as of June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the provision for credit losses reflected a recovery of $1.5 million as compared to a provision of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. No additional reserves for investment securities were recorded during the first six months of 2026 or 2025. Non-Interest Income Non-interest income decreased $7.9 million, or 108.3%, to a loss of $607 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This reduction was related primarily to the recognition of a $4.8 million valuation loss associated with loans held-for sale combined with approximately $2.4 million of income associated with BOLI payments related to insurance death benefits in the prior year and a $1.2 million decrease in gains associated with the sale of a branch location. The Company’s other fee income categories remained relatively flat during the quarter and year to date. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, non-interest income decreased $8.1 million, to $3.6 million, as compared to $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense was $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, reflecting an increase of $515 thousand, or 3.1%, as compared to $16.8 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in non-interest expense for the current quarter reflected the Company’s investment in growth. This investment consists primarily of increases in compensation, employee benefits, and professional fees. Our efficiency ratio, which is a non-GAAP measurement, increased to 62.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from 51.6% for the same period in 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our efficiency ratio increased to 58.8% from 55.0% for the same period in 2025. Adjusted for the impact of the valuation loss on loans held-for-sale, the efficiency ratios for the three months ended and the six months ended June 30, 2026 would have been 53.0% and 54.4%, respectively. Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 reached $35.2 million, reflecting a $1.9 million increase over non-interest expense of $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Income Tax Expense Provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2026 reflected a net credit of $2.1 million, representing a net decrease of $5.2 million as compared to provision expense of $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the provision for income tax was directly related to the Company’s reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance. The reversal was based on the financial strength of the company and sustained history of profitability which demonstrates the likelihood of realizing the benefits of the deferred tax asset. Accordingly, the reversal increased net income for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the provision for income taxes was $1.2 million as compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Our effective tax rate for the three month period ended June 30, 2026 was (18.2%), as compared to 23.0% for the same period in 2025. Our effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2026 was 4.6%, as compared to 23.0% for the same period in 2025. Financial Condition Total consolidated assets increased by $141.0 million, or 5.3%, reaching $2.8 billion at June 30, 2026 from $2.7 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase reflects an increase in cash and loans (including loans held-for-sale) offset by repayments and maturities of securities during the current six month period. Total cash and due from banks increased from $204.2 million at December 31, 2025, to $334.9 million at June 30, 2026, an increase of approximately $130.7 million, or 64.0%. This increase resulted mainly from higher levels of deposit balances and paydowns and maturities of securities as well as payoffs of loans which elevated cash levels at quarter end. Total investment securities decreased $23.5 million, or 5.6%, from $419.4 million at December 31, 2025 to $395.9 million at June 30, 2026. The decrease continues to be driven primarily by investment repayments and maturities during the first six months of 2026. Total loans, including loans held-for-sale, increased $28.3 million, or 1.5%, to $2.0 billion at June 30, 2026 from December 31, 2025. The loan portfolio experienced growth in commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction, and consumer loans offset by decreases in commercial and industrial loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company transferred loans with an aggregate principal balance of $68.4 million from the loan portfolio to loans held-for-sale. At the date of transfer, the loans were recorded as held-for-sale at $63.6 million, net of a valuation allowance of $4.8 million. As of June 30, 2026, the loans held-for-sale portfolio consisted of approximately $44.0 million of residential real estate loans and approximately $19.6 million of home equity loans. The six months ended June 30, 2026, also included $81.1 million of loan prepayments compared to $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Total deposits increased $120.8 million, to $2.4 billion at June 30, 2026 from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase was due primarily to $104.4 million, or 10.4%, of growth in savings and money market accounts which totaled approximately $1.1 billion at June 30, 2026 as compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2025. Interest bearing demand deposits increased $71.1 million, or 17.0% to $490.7 million at June 30, 2026 from $419.6 million at December 31, 2025. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $68.3 million, or 9.4% to $793.9 million at June 30, 2026 from $725.7 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in deposits was partially offset by certificates of deposit which represented a $123.0 million decrease as the increased deposit levels of transaction accounts provided for run-off of maturing brokered deposits during the period. Deposit composition at June 30, 2026 included 52.8% in demand deposit accounts (including NOW accounts) as a percentage of total deposits. Uninsured deposits, net of fully collateralized municipal relationships, remain stable and represented approximately 52% at June 30, 2026 and 46% at December 31, 2025. FHLBNY long-term borrowings remained at $10.0 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The stability and low level in borrowings represents the effect of deposit growth outpacing loan growth during the quarter, allowing for low borrowing levels and higher cash levels at June 30, 2026. Stockholders’ equity increased $22.2 million, or 7.8%, to $306.6 million at June 30, 2026 from $284.4 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was due to the effect of $24.9 million in net income as well as a liability-to-equity reclassification of equity awards in the amount of $2.3 million offset by dividends of $4.8 million and a $1.4 million increase in unrealized losses on the market value of investment securities in the Company’s equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), net of taxes during the first six months of 2026. At June 30, 2026, the Bank maintained capital ratios in excess of regulatory standards for well capitalized institutions. The Bank’s Tier 1 capital-to- average-assets ratio was 13.15%, both common equity and Tier 1 capital-to-risk-weighted-assets were 17.95%, and total-capital-to-risk-weighted-assets was 19.20%.

Wealth Management At June 30, 2026, our Wealth Management Division, which includes trust and investment advisory, held $1.7 billion in assets under management or advisory, as compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2025, an 11.4% decrease. Trust and investment advisory income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $3.2 million, representing a decrease of $178 thousand, or 5.2%, as compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The breakdown of trust and investment advisory assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, is as follows: At June 30, 2026 At December 31, 2025 Amount Percent Amount Percent (In thousands) Investment Assets Under Management & Advisory $ 941,351 56.26% $ 1,184,317 62.73% Trust Asset Under Administration & Management 731,866 43.74% 703,544 37.27% Total $ 1,673,217 100.00% $ 1,887,861 100.00% Loan Quality At June 30, 2026, the Bank had total non-performing loans of $22.2 million, or 1.16% of total loans. Total non-accrual loans represented $18.8 million of loans as of June 30, 2026, compared to $11.1 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in non-accrual loans was related primarily to a commercial real estate participation loan that experienced payment disruption during the first quarter of 2026 due to bankruptcy at the parent company, offset partially by settlement of a previously reported participation loan for an office complex. The settlement reduced non-performing loans by approximately $6.0 million during the second quarter of 2026. Total accruing loans 90 days or more past due represented $3.3 million of loans as of June 30, 2026, compared to $18 thousand at December 31, 2025. The increase in accruing loans 90 days or more past due was related primarily to a commercial real estate participation loan that experienced an administrative delay in the processing of an extension/modification during the second quarter of 2026 due to divorce proceedings and remains a performing loan and in accrual status at quarter-end. Liquidity Management believes the Bank has the necessary liquidity to meet normal business needs. The Bank uses a variety of resources to manage its liquidity position. These include short term investments, cash from lending and investing activities, core-deposit growth, and non-core funding sources, such as time deposits exceeding $250,000, brokered deposits, FHLBNY advances, and other borrowings. As of June 30, 2026, the Bank’s cash and due from banks totaled $334.9 million. The Bank maintains an investment portfolio of securities available for sale, comprised mainly of US Government agency and treasury securities, Small Business Administration loan pools, mortgage-backed securities, and municipal bonds. Although the portfolio generates interest income for the Bank, it also serves as an available source of liquidity and funding. As of June 30, 2026, the Bank’s investment in securities available for sale was $395.9 million, of which $78.6 million was not pledged as collateral or specifically designated to any borrowings. Additionally, as of June 30, 2026, the Bank’s overnight advance line capacity at the FHLBNY was $679.4 million, of which $72.4 million was used to collateralize municipal deposits and $10.0 million was utilized for long term advances. As of June 30, 2026, the Bank’s unused borrowing capacity at the FHLBNY was $597.0 million. The Bank also maintains additional borrowing capacity of $20 million with other correspondent banks. Additional funding is available to the Bank through the discount window at the Federal Reserve. The total amount of loans pledged to the Federal Reserve, between the Discount Window and the Borrower- In-Custody (“BIC”) program, was approximately $214.9 million at June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026, the Bank was not utilizing any available funding from the Federal Reserve. The Bank also considers brokered deposits an element of its overall deposit strategy. As of June 30, 2026, the Bank did not have any brokered deposit arrangements with various terms under 30 days.
