Magyar Bancorp, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Financial Results

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Magyar Bancorp MGYR (the "Company"), parent company of Magyar Bank, reported today the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company reported net income of $509,000, or $0.09 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net income of $726,000, or $0.12 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.4 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.37 per share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2019.

"The Coronavirus pandemic is arguably the most challenging time period Magyar has faced in its near 100 year history, and, as we have done in prior times of crisis, Magyar Bank has been at the forefront in assisting our customers and the community in navigating these unchartered waters," stated John Fitzgerald, President and CEO.

Mr. Fitzgerald continued, "The Bank provided over 300 businesses with loans through the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program, and, since the start of the crisis, we have offered loan deferrals to borrowers who are facing financial difficulty due to the pandemic. While economic headwinds weighed on our net income for the quarter, specifically, an increase in loan loss provisions to account for the uncertainty in our economy, we have been able to navigate the crisis well having been in a position of strength when it started. With a strong liquidity position and prudent management of our balance sheet, Magyar is prepared to adapt to the changeable conditions that we expect through the rest of our fiscal and calendar years."
