BayFirst Financial Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BayFirst Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: BAFN) (“BayFirst” or the “Company”), parent company of BayFirst National Bank (the “Bank”) today reported a net loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.39) per common share and diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million, or $(0.17) per common share and diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2025. “As we announced last quarter, Management and the Board initiated a comprehensive strategic review aimed at derisking unguaranteed SBA 7(a) balances on the balance sheet and positioning the company for long-term growth and enhanced shareholder value,” stated Thomas G. Zernick, Chief Executive Officer. “Much progress is being made, and we expect to have additional information on our plans and the expected results in the coming weeks. In conjunction with the review, BayFirst reported charge offs and fair value write downs on related SBA 7(a) loans with elevated levels of risk. This will provide for a stronger balance sheet to take advantage of community banking opportunities. Furthermore, to offset the impact of these changes, the Board has voted to suspend common and preferred stock dividend payments and board of director fees. We will continue to evaluate strategic alternatives to ensure an optimal path in the best long-term interests of our shareholders, customers, and the communities we serve. “We expanded our net interest margin and kept controllable operating expenses in check during the second quarter as compared to the first quarter, reflecting the continued strength in our community banking operations. Credit challenges extended into the second quarter, with net charge-offs and fair value write-downs on Bolt SBA 7(a) loans increasing compared to the prior quarter. Notably, we recorded some loan production measured at fair value because of production delays experienced with SBA's Standard Operating Procedures update, which increased application processing time and prevented us from executing some loan sales as planned. Although our core SBA and conventional commercial loan portfolio performance remains strong, many of our SBA small business clients continue to struggle in a difficult environment even though many have shown some resilience in the face of inflation and persistent high interest rates. As we monitor the evolving impact of the economy and recent policy changes, we remain committed to strong loan oversight and maintaining close relationships with our borrowers to support their long-term success. “We continue to support our community bank first and foremost, serving individuals, families, and small businesses with a strong emphasis on stable, low-cost checking and savings accounts—products that are less sensitive to rate changes and contribute to a more predictable funding base,” said Zernick. “This focus not only supports relationship-driven banking but also broadens our reach across the vibrant Tampa Bay region, enhancing our franchise and creating more opportunities to offer residential mortgages, consumer loans, and small business financing. During the second quarter, we continued to focus on growing core deposits. This is a key component of our broader strategy to increase recurring revenue through net interest income and reduce our reliance on gains from the sale of government-guaranteed loans. As we continue to expand our conventional commercial and consumer loan portfolios, we are also taking proactive steps to manage credit risk. These efforts include strengthening underwriting standards for SBA 7(a) loans and exploring options such as portfolio sales to reduce exposure to unguaranteed SBA balances. We remain focused on aligning our loan growth with strong risk oversight to support long-term performance. “A key achievement in the second quarter was the continued momentum in loan growth across our community bank operations, fueled by consistent demand across the greater Tampa Bay region,” said Zernick. “Community bank loans rose 3% during the quarter, demonstrating that our balance sheet growth is aligned with our strategic priority of growing the community bank segment. We are seeing the early results of strategic initiatives designed to enhance earnings and reduce our reliance on less predictable income sources. While the broader economic environment remains uncertain, our disciplined focus on local relationship banking and tailored financial solutions positions us well for continued improvement.” Second Quarter 2025 Performance Review Net interest margin was 4.06% in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 29 basis points from 3.77% in the first quarter of 2025 and an increase of 63 basis points from 3.43% in the second quarter of 2024.The Company’s government guaranteed loan team originated $106.4 million in new loans during the second quarter of 2025, a slight increase from $106.3 million of loans produced in the previous quarter, and an increase from $98.7 million of loans produced during the second quarter of 2024. Since the launch in 2022 of the Company's Bolt loan program, an SBA 7(a) loan product designed to expeditiously provide working capital loans of $150 thousand or less, the Company has originated 6,745 Bolt loans totaling $869.9 million, of which 538 Bolt loans totaling $67.9 million were originated during the second quarter.Loans held for investment increased by $41.0 million, or 3.8%, during the second quarter of 2025 to $1.13 billion and increased $117.5 million, or 11.7%, over the past year. During the quarter, the Company originated $157.0 million of loans and sold $66.8 million of government guaranteed loan balances.Deposits increased $35.5 million, or 3.1%, during the second quarter of 2025 and increased $121.4 million, or 11.6%, over the past year to $1.16 billion. The increase in deposits during the quarter was primarily due to increases in noninterest-bearing account balances, savings and money market account balances, and time deposit balances, partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing transaction account balances.Book value and tangible book value at June 30, 2025 were $22.30 per common share, a decrease from $22.77 at March 31, 2025. Results of Operations Net Income (Loss) The Company had a net loss of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 and net income of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2024. The change in the second quarter of 2025 from the preceding quarter was primarily the result of an increase in provision for credit losses of $2.9 million, a decrease in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $1.2 million, and an increase in noninterest expense of $1.7 million. This was partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $1.3 million and an increase in government guaranteed loan fair value gains of $3.2 million. The change from the second quarter of 2024 was due to an increase in provision for credit losses of $4.3 million and an increase in noninterest expense of $0.9 million, partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $3.2 million. In the first six months of 2025, the Company had a net loss of $1.6 million, a decrease from net income of $1.7 million for the first six months of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in provision for credit losses of $4.6 million, a decrease in government guaranteed loan fair value gains of $4.8 million, and a decrease of government guaranteed loan packaging fees of $1.1 million. This was partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $5.4 million and a decrease in noninterest expense of $1.0 million.

The increase in net interest income from continuing operations during the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the first quarter of 2025, was mainly due to an increase in loan interest income, including fees, of $1.7 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense from borrowings of $0.6 million. The increase in net interest income from continuing operations during the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the year ago quarter, was mainly due to an increase in loan interest income, including fees, of $2.0 million and a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $1.2 million. Net interest income from continuing operations was $23.3 million in the first six months of 2025, an increase from $17.9 million in the first six months of 2024. The increase was mainly due to an increase in loan interest income, including fees, of $3.6 million and a decrease in interest expense of $1.8 million. Noninterest Income Noninterest income from continuing operations was $10.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, which was an increase from $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 and a decrease from $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the first quarter of 2025, was primarily the result of an increase in government guaranteed loan fair value gains of $3.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $1.2 million. The decrease in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the second quarter of 2024, was the result of decreases in loan servicing income of $0.3 million, fair value gains on government guaranteed loans of $0.8 million, and government guaranteed loan packaging fees of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $0.5 million. Noninterest income from continuing operations was $19.5 million for the first six months of 2025, which was a decrease from $25.9 million for the first six months of 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in government guaranteed loan fair value gains of $4.8 million and a decrease in government guaranteed loan packaging fees of $1.1 million. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense from continuing operations was $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $15.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the prior quarter, was primarily due to an increase in loan origination and collection expenses of $1.5 million. The increase in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the second quarter of 2024, was primarily due to higher loan origination and collection expenses of $0.6 million, occupancy expense of $0.3 million, and data processing expense of $0.4 million, partially offset by lower compensation expense of $0.1 million and marketing and business development expenses of $0.1 million. Noninterest expense from continuing operations was $33.3 million for the first six months of 2025 compared to $34.4 million for the first six months of 2024. The decrease was the result of lower compensation expense of $1.6 million and professional service expense of $0.7 million, partially offset by higher occupancy and equipment expense of $0.8 million and data processing expense of $0.9 million. Balance Sheet Assets Total assets increased $51.9 million, or 4.0%, during the second quarter of 2025 to $1.34 billion, mainly due to increases in loans held for investment of $41.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $14.1 million. Compared to the end of the second quarter last year, total assets increased $126.0 million, or 10.3%, driven primarily by growth in loans held for investment of $117.5 million. Loans Loans held for investment increased $41.0 million, or 3.8%, during the second quarter of 2025 and $117.5 million, or 11.7%, over the past year to $1.13 billion, due to originations in both conventional community bank loans and government guaranteed loans, partially offset by government guaranteed loan sales.
