DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, CUSTOMERS, PARTNERS AND FRIENDS,

Though 2021 posed its own unique set of challenges, we closed out the 

year hopeful for what lies ahead. Encouraged by the resilience of our 

community, and inspired by the success of our customers, we look  

forward to the bright banking future that awaits all who partner with us. 

With the continued COVID-19 restrictions placed on our region, we are incredibly proud of 

our team and their dedication to the delivery of outstanding benefits and support to our 
shareholders, customers and communities. Together, we have been there to offer expert financial 
services despite the shifting landscapes of our world and the obstacles and opportunities that have 
emerged in their wake. For more than 130 years, Lake Shore Savings has worked to make banking the 
best it can be for Western New York. As the success of the last year made clear, it’s a commitment  
we always keep front and center. Our 2021 operating highlights include:

•  The outstanding success of the commercial team in originating a record volume of loans, managing 
loan forgiveness for existing Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans and processing a new round 
of PPP loans during 2021, to help our commercial borrowers navigate unprecedented circumstances. 

•  The retail lending team had a robust, record-breaking year for loan originations as a result of the low 
interest rate environment, which provided opportunities for customers to purchase their first home, 
renovate their existing home, refinance their mortgage or move to a new home, contributing to 
growth and stability in the communities that we serve.   

• 

In further support of our market areas, Lake Shore Savings supported non-profits, sponsored 
important causes and set local businesses up for success with small business grants through the 
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY).

•  A smooth transition to a new and innovative core processing platform for handling deposit and 
loan transactions, which increased operational efficiencies and resulted in improved services to 
our customers including advanced digital and mobile banking, improved security features for debit 
cards and account transactions, new bank-to-bank funds transfer features, direct integration with 
accounting software and updated personal financial management solutions.   

•  The board of directors’ dedication and wisdom to support the Company’s initiatives, including the core 
conversion, and provide strategic guidance, thereby enhancing the value of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc.

Along with every other business, our Company had to face the challenges presented by the ongoing 
COVID-19 pandemic, from reduced staffing caused by illness to customer concerns over meeting 
face-to-face to handle banking needs. We navigated these challenges smoothly by staying flexible 
and receptive to the needs of our customers and employees. Today, we continue to evolve to provide 
unmatched service to meet the changing needs of our customers.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

We are pleased to report significant growth in both total assets and net income with the closing of 2021, achieving 

consistent growth and improved financial performance for our shareholders. In 2021, we grew assets and deposits, 

reported record earnings and increased dividends. The Company exceeded the $714 million asset mark during the year, 
growing total assets by 4.0% from the prior year end. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $24.6 million primarily due 
to a 5.9% increase in deposits and cash received from loan payoffs, partially offset by the use of funds to originate loans, 
pay off long term borrowings, and purchase investment securities. We experienced remarkable growth in loan originations 
during 2021 with $89.6 million in commercial loan originations (including PPP loans) and $74.4 million in residential and 
consumer loan originations. Loans receivable, net decreased $6.9 million, or 1.3%, primarily due to commercial real estate 
and commercial business loan pay-downs, which included PPP loan forgiveness, that was partially offset by new loan 
originations. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported unaudited net income of $6.2 million, or  
$1.05 per diluted share, as compared to $4.6 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Net income growth was positively impacted by a 12 basis 
point increase in net interest margin as a result of lower 
market rates on the cost of funds. Net income was also 
impacted by a $1.0 million decrease in provision for loan 
losses. In 2020, the Company’s provision for loan losses was 
primarily due to an adjustment of certain qualitative factors 
to take into account the uncertain impact of the COVID-19 
pandemic on economic conditions and borrowers’ 
ability to repay loans. As the economy improved in 2021 
with businesses reopening, vaccine rollout and federal 
government stimulus support, it was not necessary  
to set aside additional reserves due to the pandemic.    

SHAREHOLDER VALUE

The Company’s shareholders received a 10% increase 
in dividend payments during 2021 to $0.54 per share. 
Furthermore, the Company repurchased 150,542 shares 
of its outstanding stock at an average cost of $14.98 per 
share during 2021 to improve shareholder value. The book 
value per share improved to $15.45 at December 31, 2021 
as compared to $14.75 book value per share at the end of 
2020. As we look to the future, we intend to retain our focus 
on shareholder value as part of our overall strategic plan to 
grow the Company in a measured and profitable manner. 
Our capital ratio remains above 11% providing us with the 
strength needed to proceed with our growth initiatives.   

PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST

Our Company has been in existence for more than 130 
years, and it has been sustained by building relationships one 
person or one business at a time. We are driven by seeing our 
customers excel, via the joy of home ownership, expansion

many organizations we supported during 2021 was the 
Roswell Park Herd of Hope to further the critical cancer 
research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, 
headquartered in Buffalo, NY, in memory and support of 
our employees and customers who have been impacted by 
cancer. In conjunction with organizations and corporations 
throughout Western New York, we are proud to be part 
of the unified effort to find a cure for cancer. In the fight 
against cancer, there’s strength in numbers.

Supporting the  
sweet success of a  
craft cider startup.

Combining their affinity for the outdoors with 
their love for finely crafted beverages, Michael 
Robb, Bryan LeFauve and Larry Robb launched 
Clarksburg Cider in 2021. Thanks in part to 
the financial insights and guidance offered by 
Jeff Werdein, EVP, Commercial Division for 
Lake Shore Savings, the cider trio has taken 
advantage of every juicy opportunity.

 
 
Today, their beverages are stocked in 

over 300 stores, restaurants and bars.

address their clients’ concerns.

But through all the success, the company

two years have not changed that feeling.” 

“ To support local community, redefine what 

a true craft cider can be and never get too big  

for our britches.”

But of course, the responsiveness and timeliness of 
solutions remain exceedingly important to the partners  
of Clarksburg Cider. Like most industries, time is money  
in the cider business. 

Like any business just starting out, Clarksburg Cider 
needed capital and a bank that could see their vision—and 
help make it a reality. At Lake Shore Savings, they found 
that and more. 

“ Someone like Jeff Werdein isn’t just our 

banker, he is our advisor and now, friend. We 

have been a customer of Lake Shore Savings 

“ When we have a problem, they work to get it

solved, and fast.”  

Today, Clarksburg Cider continues to craft delicious hard 
cider and delight countless thirsty enthusiasts with the 
backing of a financial partner they can trust. Together 
with Lake Shore Savings Bank, the partners of Clarksburg 
Cider are sipping something especially exquisite: success.

We get a level of service and access that you

The bank guided Clarksburg Cider through obtaining a PPP 
loan so they could continue to grow and operate despite 
the pandemic, while providing counsel and insights that 
allowed the craft cider company to fully utilize  
the financing options available to them. 

“Lake Shore Savings has been more than just

a financing option. They have been a true  

partner.” 

Even through the challenges of the past few years, partner 
Bryan LeFauve has appreciated Lake Shore Savings’ 
willingness to find tailored solutions, versus institutions

JON PALMERI,
Owner

J O N N Y   T H E   B A R B E R

Building a blossoming relationship 
with a beloved local barber.

8

 
 
A hardworking “Kenmore-Tonawanda 

kid.” A lot of hard work (and little bit 

of luck). And a “hair empire” that’s evolved 

from humble roots in his parents’ garage 

to, today, three locations around Western 

New York. That’s the journey Jon Palmeri 

(aka Jonny the Barber) has been on—and 

Lake Shore Savings Bank has helped him 

on his way.

“ Lake Shore was simply amazing. They were

very fair with rates and terms for us.” 

As a barber, Jon Palmeri knows the magic that 
interpersonal connections can bring to a business 
or interaction. So when he received a glowing 
recommendation from a friend to bank at Lake Shore 
with Dylan Rubadeaux, VP, Commercial Loan Officer, he 
felt good about the ease and depth of relationship that 
developed from there.  

“ Any questions [are] answered with a text 

or quick call. I finally feel like I have the 

relationship with a local bank which I’ve been 

searching for…[that] can help me grow my 

business to whatever I can imagine.”

In particular, Jon Palmeri credits the fair rates and terms 
provided by Lake Shore as having paved the way for 
his expanding business, growing from a single small 

barbershop to today’s network of locations on Delaware 
Avenue in the Town of Tonawanda, downtown Buffalo 
and, coming soon, a salon in Williamsville. He feels he’s 
found his kindred banking spirits in the “people helping 
people” attitude he’s experienced at every step of the way. 
Even through potentially complicated deals, the seamless 
nature of the transactions has allowed his business to 
continue to grow.  

“ As a customer, you can tell the Lake Shore 

Savings Bank team members are truly masters 

of their field and know how to get the deals 

done. Well done.”

Personal care. Straightforward interactions. A friend you 
can trust in the business. It seems it’s no coincidence that 
the level of service Jon Palmeri provides as a barber is 
mirrored in the bank he chooses to call his financial home. 
And today, we’re proud that he recommends Lake Shore 
to “anyone looking for a bank” that will help them grow 
their business.

The Green Organization is a full-service real estate group that  

specializes in multifamily real estate acquisitions and ground-up 

construction. Their established management team has been successfully 

acquiring and operating multifamily properties for over 30 years. For 

father-son team Brian and Matt Green, having a financial partner that 

understands them has made all the difference. With Dylan Rubadeaux, 

VP, Commercial Loan Officer at Lake Shore Savings, the Greens have 

had the benefit of commited financial counsel and expert advice.

“Working with Lake Shore Savings has been key

because they understand our business. What 

impresses us is that they have the vision to see  

the opportunity. They add valuable insight into  

the repositioning or construction of a project.” 

Lake Shore Savings helped The Green Organization finance the 
modern and elegant Forest Green Apartments, which became 
a highly profitable investment for the company. The Green 
Organization has valued having a financial partner that  
believes in their vision and their ability to execute on it. 

“Working with Lake Shore Savings has allowed 

us to grow faster with the flexibility that the  

bank offers.” 

But what Brian and Matt Green have valued most is Lake Shore 
Savings’ ability to work through nuanced challenges that call 
for customized strategies. 

“They look at a project from multiple angles.

Finding the best and most cost-effective path  

has always been their priority.” 

The expertise and experience the company has in value-add 
acquisitions, new construction, property management and 
maintenance, and leasing serve The Green Organization well 
to this day. With the backing of Lake Shore Savings, Brian and 
Matt Green of The Green Organization continue to lead their 
company from one profitable venture to the next, adding over 
$80 million in new assets to their multifamily portfolio over 
the last five years.

“Lake Shore Savings Bank has always worked 

to create a valuable working relationship along  

with competitive deal terms.”

Retirement

In 1995, Nancy Yocum joined the 

Company’s Board of Directors as our first 
woman board member and has served with 
dedication for 27 years. Mrs. Yocum has been 
an integral part of the Bank’s growth from 
three branches in Chautauqua County to 11 
branches, including expansion into the Erie 
County market area.  When she 
joined the Board, total 
assets were less 
than $130 million.

2006, after the 
Company’s transition

financial reporting. Throughout her tenure, 
Mrs. Yocum has demonstrated an enduring 
desire to learn and grow. Her tireless work 
ethic and one-of-a-kind personality will 
be missed by all who worked with her. We 
extend to Mrs. Yocum our sincere gratitude 
and appreciation for the service and 
leadership she has provided to the  
Company and the Bank.
