Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On January 29, 2026, Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release and reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. Subsequent to the January 29, 2026 earnings press release, the Company recorded an additional income tax benefit of $1.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. As a result, the income tax benefit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was revised to $3.0 million, and the income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was revised to $2.2 million.

The Company previously reported a net loss of $7.0 million, or $(1.11) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025. After recording the additional income tax benefit, the net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 has been revised to $5.6 million, or $(0.88) per diluted share. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company previously reported a net loss of $3.4 million, or $(0.54) per diluted share. After recording the additional income tax benefit, the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, has been revised to $1.9 million, or $(0.31) per diluted share.

The income tax adjustment reflects an updated analysis of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025. Deferred tax asset balances are measured based on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The adjustment to these balances resulted in an increase to the Company’s deferred tax assets and a corresponding increase in income tax benefit for the fourth quarter of 2025.

The $1.5 million adjustment for income tax benefit is non-cash in nature and does not affect the Company’s cash taxes payable or operational cash flows.

The corrected financial statements will be reflected in the Company’s forthcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The information in Item 2.02 to this Form 8-K shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as shall be expressly set forth in such filing.
