DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, CUSTOMERS,   
PARTNERS AND FRIENDS,

In banking and in life, the importance of Putting People First™ cannot be stressed 

enough. At Lake Shore Savings, we have been demonstrating this for years, but 

the events of the last year have proven it without a doubt. While 2020 may have 

tested our community, we have been there for our customers with the services 

and products they need to overcome challenges in the present and plan for 

opportunities in the future. A future we believe will be brighter with Lake Shore 

Savings’ truly individualized approach to banking. 

GENERATIONS AT THE HELM   
OF COMMUNITY BANKING

Lake Shore Savings has been meeting the banking needs of the Western New York community for  
130 years. Our team has been by our community’s side to guide them to their financial goals, whether 
they are growing their business or starting a family. In the wake of the pandemic and the ever-changing 
financial landscape, many in Western New York have been forced to shift their financial plans and priorities 
to adapt. However, with Lake Shore Savings in their corner, innovative products and support have 
accompanied every decision—and secured every step.  

WEATHERING THE STORM  
TO PERFORM EXCEPTIONALLY

The Bank’s management team quickly responded and adapted to the rapidly changing environment 
brought about by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. From initially allowing lobby visits by 
appointment and enhanced drive-thru service to implementing strict COVID-19 safety protocols, we 
have kept the health and well-being of our customers, employees, and community our top priority. Our 
focus throughout the past year has been to help minimize the financial impact of the pandemic on our 
customers. Our commercial loan officers and branch team members helped customers navigate through 
the CARES Act and waived fees when necessary. We have also worked tirelessly to originate Paycheck 
Protection Program (“PPP”) loans and Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) grants for our 
small business clients. 

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

We are pleased to report that with the closing of a year rife with challenges, we achieved consistent 
growth and improved financial performance for our customers and shareholders. In 2020, we grew loans 
and deposits, reported record earnings and maintained solid asset quality metrics. The company exceeded 
the $686 million asset mark during the year, growing total assets by 12.3% from the 2019 year end. 
Asset growth was primarily driven by a $53.3 million increase in loans receivable, net. We experienced 
remarkable growth in loan originations during 2020 with $104 million in commercial loan originations 
(including PPP loans) and $65 million in residential and consumer loan originations.

NET INCOME

NON-INTEREST INCOME 

We reported net income of $4.6 million for the year, 
compared to $4.1 million in 2019. On a per share basis, 
we earned $0.77 for the year, an increase of $0.09, or 
13.2%, compared to 2019. Operating revenue, the sum of 
net interest income and non-interest income, grew 6.3% 
during the year to $22.9 million. 

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 
2020 was $19.9 million, an increase of $862,000, or 4.5%, 
compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest 
income was $24.3 million for the years ended December 
31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  2020 interest income was 
positively impacted by an $84.6 million, or 15.9%, increase 
in the average balance of interest-earning assets, partially 
offset by a 61 basis points decrease in the average yield 
earned on assets due to the decrease in market interest 
rates during the year. Interest expense for the year ended 
December 31, 2020 was $4.4 million, a decrease of 15.3% 
compared to the prior year. The average interest rate paid 
on deposit accounts decreased by 32 basis points in 2020, 
which was partially offset by a $56.4 million, or 14.2%, 
increase in average interest-bearing deposits. Net interest 
margin for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 3.23%, 
a 35 basis points decrease from prior years, primarily 
resulting from the Federal Reserve’s implementation of a 
150 basis points decrease in short term market rates to 
combat the impact of the pandemic on the economy.  

Non-interest income was $3.0 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2020, an increase of $500,000, or 20.1%, 
as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The 
increase was primarily driven by a $777,000 increase in 
gains on the sale of loans. We sold a portion of low-rate, 
long term residential mortgage loans originated in 2020 
to the secondary market to manage interest rate risk. The 
increase was partially offset by a $247,000 decrease in 
service charges and fees due to waivers of certain fees for 
our customers during the initial phase of the COVID-19 
pandemic.

ASSET QUALITY

As of December 31, 2020, non-performing loans as a 
percent of total net loans improved to 0.59% as compared 
to 0.75% at December 31, 2019. Allowance for loan losses 
as a percent of total net loans was 1.12% at December 31, 
2020 as compared to 0.91% at December 31, 2019. 

We have worked closely with those customers that have 
experienced financial difficulties due to the onset of the 
COVID-19 pandemic by granting loan payment deferrals 
and halting foreclosures, in accordance with regulatory 
guidelines. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 14 
loans had payment deferrals, representing loan balances 
of $23.8 million, or 4.5%, of the total loan portfolio.  
When compared to 2019, our provision for loan losses 
during 2020 increased by $725,000, or 80.6% as we set 
aside additional reserves to adjust for the impact of the 
pandemic and related economic conditions on borrowers’ 
ability to repay loans.   

SETTING OUR SAILS   
FOR FUTURE SUCCESS

With Lake Shore Savings, our customers and shareholders have a trusted partner and a reliable financial adviser. Though 
2020 had its difficulties, we have continued to deliver community banking by Putting People First™ and it shows. Our 
community banking model allows our customers to rely on the bank for assistance in times of adversity. The investment 
our shareholders have made in the Bank has been secure. Our shareholders have benefited from our success in serving 
the needs of our customers and communities via improved shareholder value. Our community has enjoyed the many 
benefits of a local bank focused on providing the very best. Going into the new year, Lake Shore Savings has set its sights 
on navigating post-pandemic challenges with reliable, effective performance.

CHANGES TO OUR BOARD

Our board of directors remains focused on providing consistent and quality oversight and governance of 
our organization. In May 2020, Kevin M. Sanvidge stepped into the role of Chairman of our board, as a 
result of the former Chairman’s retirement. Mr. Sanvidge has significant experience as a former executive 
for a local IDA and for a private food manufacturing company, and his appointment ensures continuity 
of strong leadership at the helm of our organization. In August 2020, Susan C. Ballard stepped down 
as director to accept the position of Executive Vice President of Retail, Sales and Marketing with the 
Company, providing increased leadership and focus on the Bank’s customer experience. During January 
2021, former New York State Senator Catharine M. Young joined our board, bringing unique skills in 
leadership with a focus on strategic planning, legislation and economic development. Lastly, our long-time 
director and former President and CEO, David C. Mancuso, will retire from the board in May 2021 due to 
his attainment of the retirement age. We extend to Mr. Mancuso our sincere gratitude and appreciation  
for his more than 55 years of service, guidance and leadership to the Company and the Bank.  

DRAWING STRENGTH  
FROM OUR DIFFERENCES

We believe a large part of our success is tied to the values we view  
as essential to fostering a positive, healthy and successful workplace; 
specifically, our focus on diversity, inclusion and mutual respect. 
We are proud that at Lake Shore Savings, our organization is more 
than 80% female. We consistently work with community groups 
to ensure we understand the needs of all those we serve. As we 
continue to grow, our focus on people continues to pay dividends  
for our employees, customers and shareholders. From our board  
of directors to each of our local branches, we are always working  
to be more inclusive, so we can all move forward together.

Our strong capital levels, 
enterprise risk management 
and customer focus will 
propel us forward as 
we navigate continued 
challenges presented  
by the pandemic and  
current economic 
environment.

FUTURE FOCUS

As we celebrate our 130th anniversary in 2021, we find that we are well-positioned to meet the 
challenges ahead. Our strong capital levels, enterprise risk management and customer focus will 
propel us forward as we navigate continued challenges presented by the pandemic and current 
economic environment. In 2021, we plan to convert to a new core processing system to enhance  
both in-person and digital services for our customer base, as well as improve operational 
efficiencies. Our partnership with COCC, a state-of-the-art core processing platform provider for 
the banking industry, will allow us to continue to offer even greater innovative services that exceed 
those offered by our competitors. We will continue to serve the Western New York region for years to 
come, with services that will be delivered by our team of experts who share our common vision and desire 
to help our customers achieve their financial goals. Banking with your best interest at heart—it is how we 
are Putting People First™.

GENERATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY 

Gold Wynn

Where larger banks layer on unnecessary 

complexity, Lake Shore Savings offers 

simplicity. If you ask Ben Friedland, VP of 

Operations at Gold Wynn, Lake Shore Savings’ 

streamlined, personal approach has made all 

the difference. As a family-owned real estate 

company that prides itself on investing in 

properties and people, Gold Wynn has made 

monumental contributions to the Western 

New York community with a trusted financial 

partner at their side.

6

“  When they say they will  
deliver, they deliver.”

“They find solutions  
as things come up.”  

Gold Wynn began working with Lake Shore Savings three 
years ago when they chose to invest in 69 Delaware, 
known famously throughout Buffalo as The Athletic 
Club building. In true Gold Wynn fashion, the company 
completely transformed the property into a masterpiece 
of architectural styles. Visitors can eat, exercise and get a 
classic haircut, or if they prefer, stroll around and delight 
in the natural splendor and stunning architecture of the 
restored space. 

“I really like the back-to-basics 
banking. Strong relationships. 
Direct contact with decision-makers. 
Getting stuff done.”

More recently, Gold Wynn worked with Lake Shore 
Savings to purchase 49 Johnson Park, contributing to 
the neighborhood’s continued revitalization. Sporting a 
painted mural of Gold Wynn’s signature art deco stamp, 
the property joins the park and the property values in the 
area’s economic upswing. The building and the surrounding 
community have a bright future ahead.  

Although the pandemic has placed new challenges on 
industries, Gold Wynn has held their own, achieving 25% 
growth for the year. With the rapid-fire changes around the 
world last year, Mr. Friedland greatly appreciated that Lake 
Shore Savings stayed consistent and did not complicate 
their services in response to the pandemic. 

“Everything is simpler. That’s  
what you’re looking for.” 

Mr. Friedland feels that going into 2021, Gold Wynn is 
well-positioned to continue transforming properties 
throughout Western New York and beyond, with what he 
says is an extremely strong and dynamic team. Lake Shore 
Savings is positioned well, too—right at their side. 

“More nimble, thoughtful, helpful 
with lending and everything else—
even through COVID times.”

LAKE SHORE BANCORP, INC.   |   2020 ANNUAL REPORT      7

GENERATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY 

Cortese 
Construction 
Services 

It was more than 11 years ago that Cortese Construction 

Services—one of the largest home remodeling companies  

in Buffalo and the surrounding Western New York area— 

first started banking with Lake Shore Savings. 

8

“ Our relationship is extremely strong 
and vital. We not only bank there, 
but we also send all our clients 
to Lake Shore for financing their 
renovation projects.”

“ It feels good to do business with 
people who are like-minded.”

At the time, Lake Shore Savings had been a sponsor of Mr. 
Cortese’s home improvement radio show—Hammertime 
RadioTM—for several years. 

Before making the switch, Domenic Cortese says his 
company primarily did business with a large multinational 
bank in the area. Around 2010, Cortese Construction 
Services was looking to expand a new product line, so Mr. 
Cortese called his branch manager at the bank to see if he 
could expand his business line of credit. After multiple calls 
with no response, Mr. Cortese finally went down to the 
bank in person, where he felt completely invisible. After 
learning his prior contact had been replaced, Mr. Cortese 
met with the new branch manager and discussed his plans. 
Days later, the new branch manager reached out to inform 
him that not only would they be unable to expand his 
line of credit—they would be canceling his line of credit 
altogether. 

“ They put me right against the wall.  
I needed to make a change, and 
that’s when the lightbulb went off.”

Mr. Cortese was astonished. Not only was the complete 
lack of communication and personal service appalling, 
the bank had put his business in a very difficult position. 
It didn’t matter that, at the time, Cortese Construction 
Services had been doing business with the bank for over  
40 years. They were closing branches, restructuring 
services, and not thinking about people. It was time  
for a change. 

“The connection was already there.”

Cortese Construction Services switched to Lake Shore 
Savings, and the two have worked remarkably together 
ever since. 

“Hands down, it’s the personalized, 
concierge, one-on-one attention 
that’s paid to not only our clients,  
but ourselves as a customer.”

Throughout 2020, Lake Shore Savings has helped Cortese 
Construction Services and their clients weather what Mr. 
Cortese says has been a perfect storm for the industry. 
Despite being closed for three months, a first in its 70-
year history, Cortese Construction Services has managed 
to achieve a record year. Most recently, they have been 
working with Lake Shore Savings on the financing of their 
new corporate headquarters. 

“We actually managed, in spite of the 
pandemic, to have a record year.”

Today, Mr. Cortese still endorses Lake Shore Savings on his 
WBEN radio show, and his HammertimeTVTM show, in-
between providing his listeners with tips, tricks and insights 
for transforming their homes. Cortese Construction 
Services continues to offer its customers exceptional home 
remodeling. Lake Shore Savings continues to be there for 
Mr. Cortese, his business and his clients.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Brooks-TLC 
Hospital  
System 

For more than 20 years, the hospital has 

relied on Lake Shore Savings for all of their 

banking needs. As their trusted financial 

partner, Lake Shore also assists with the 

financing of critical equipment that the 

hospital uses to provide exceptional care to 

its community. To Mary LaRowe, President 

and CEO of Brooks-TLC, the value of a 

community bank to a community hospital  

is clear.

“There’s nothing better than walking 
into your local bank and knowing 
the folks there. They know your 
story. You’re not starting over.” 

Brooks-TLC, like most other hospitals, relies on patient 
revenue to maintain operations and to obtain crucial 
upgrades and equipment. When the COVID-19 pandemic 
hit, and in-patient revenue went down, the hospital needed 
to look into the Paycheck Protection Program to ensure 
they could pay their employees and maintain their high 
standard of care. 

10

“We reached out to Lake Shore Savings, 
who walked us through the whole 
process, supported us through it, 
answered all of our questions, and were 
able to turn around our application in  
a very reasonable amount of time.”

Lake Shore Savings was successful in obtaining a PPP loan 
for the hospital, which offered them the stability to continue 
caring for their community through the year’s hardships.  

“Even though many other hospitals were 
trying to do the same thing at the same 
time, we were successful in obtaining 
the payroll protection loan.” 

Ms. LaRowe is very optimistic for the future of the hospital 
and the community it serves. In her mind, the pandemic has 
shown the true strength and resilience of her colleagues.  

“The pandemic has truly demonstrated 
that we have leaders throughout the 
organization. Not that people aren’t 
tired, but we have a lot of strength 
internally.” 

Like the rest of us, Ms. LaRowe can’t wait for the pandemic 
to be under control, or better yet—over. She and her staff 
continue to fight every day for their community’s health and 
safety despite the quickly changing healthcare landscape and 
the ever-evolving needs of patients. And Lake Shore Savings 
continues to provide exceptional local banking to  
an exceptional local hospital.

“The bank really listens to what your 
needs are and tries to find solutions. 
That listening piece is so critical.”

Over half a  
century of  
service.

DAVID C. MANCUSO

Dave Mancuso started at Lake Shore Savings 
as a teller in 1965. At the time, the bank’s 
total assets were less than $8 million 
and there was but a single branch. After 
succeeding in a variety of roles at the bank, 
he became President and CEO 
in 1993, when assets 
were in excess of 
$115 million and 
the bank had 
expanded to 
two branches. 
As President 
and CEO, 
Dave opened 
eight additional 
branches, entered the 
Erie County marketplace, 
and led the company through its transition 
from a mutual savings bank charter to the 
mutual holding company structure and a 
federal savings bank charter. This resulted 
in an initial public offering of our stock 
in 2006 and our listing on the NASDAQ 
stock exchange. When Dave retired as 
President and CEO in 2011, the bank had 
assets in excess of $475 million. After 
retiring, Dave remained a member of the 
Board of Directors. During his time on 
the board, he has helped guide the bank 
through continued growth to our current 
level of total assets at $686 million and an 
additional branch purchase. We are sincerely 
grateful for Dave’s service, guidance and 
dedication to the Bank and the Company 
over the last 55 years.
