Broadway Financial Corporation Announces Revised Results of Operations for First Quarter 2025

, /PRNewswire/ -- Broadway Financial Corporation ("Broadway", "we", or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BYFC), parent company of City First Bank, National Association (the "Bank", and collectively, with the Company, "City First Broadway"), is announcing revised results of operations for the first quarter of 2025, which correct the results of operations reported in the Company's press release dated April 28, 2025 and are consistent with the financial information reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 24, 2025. The Company reported consolidated net loss before preferred dividends of $1.9 million, or ($0.21) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to consolidated net loss of $164 thousand, or ($0.02) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2025 after deducting preferred dividends of $750 thousand, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $164 thousand for the first quarter of 2024. Diluted loss per common share was ($0.30) for the first quarter of 2025, compared to ($0.02) of loss per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2024. Diluted loss per common share for the first quarter of 2025 reflects preferred dividends of $0.09 per diluted common share. During the first quarter of 2025, net interest income increased by $521 thousand, or 6.9%, to $8.0 million, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase resulted from lower interest expense on borrowings, due to decreases in the average balance and average cost of borrowings, and an increase in interest and fees on loans receivable, primarily due to an increase in rates. These increases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits and decreases in interest income on interest-earning deposits and available-for-sale securities. During the first quarter of 2025, non-interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 30.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to a $1.9 million loss incurred from wire fraud, which will result in a gain if recovered. In addition, compensation and benefits expense increased by $1.0 million, which included $122 thousand of severance expense which negatively impacted diluted loss per share by $0.01, partially offset by a $710 thousand decrease in professional services expense. During the first quarter of 2025, the provision for credit losses increased $429 thousand, from $260 thousand for the first quarter of 2024 to $689 thousand for the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to one new non-accrual loan. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $692 thousand for the first quarter of 2025 and an income tax benefit of $57 thousand for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in tax benefit reflected a decrease of $2.3 million in pre-tax income between the two periods. First Quarter 2025 Highlights: During the first quarter of 2025, net interest income increased by $521 thousand, or 6.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2024 The net interest margin increased by 43 basis points to 2.70% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 2.27% for the first quarter of 2024. This increase was driven largely by growth in the yield on average loan balances and a reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities Total deposits increased by $31.1 million, or 4.2%, during the first quarter of 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 Capital ratios remain strong with a Community Bank Leverage Ratio of 15.24% at March 31, 2025 compared to 13.96% at December 31, 2024 Credit quality remains strong with non-accrual loans to total loans at 0.09% and non-performing loans to total assets at 0.07% Total borrowings were $168.2 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $195.5 million at December 31, 2024, a reduction of $27.3 million, or 14.0% Chief Executive Officer, Brian Argrett commented, "During the first quarter of 2025, deposits grew by 4.2%, or $31.1 million, since the end of last year and 11.7%, or $81.0 million, since March of last year. In addition, we reduced borrowing costs which resulted in lower cost of funds. The net interest margin was 2.70%, which is an improvement of 43 basis points compared to March of last year." "Our results for the first quarter of 2025 were adversely affected by a loss of $1.9 million incurred from wire fraud, which will result in a corresponding gain if recovered. In addition, the provision for credit losses due to one borrower experiencing financial difficulty resulting in the loan changing to a non-accrual status. The increase in the provision is the result of the loss provision for the loan, although we are working with the borrower for a healthier resolution." "Furthermore, our first quarter financial results were negatively impacted by our investments in people over the past twelve months to support our operational capabilities to professionally manage our business, improve our control environment, improve our efficiency, and promote our continued growth." "We are optimistic in our ability to execute our strategic goals and mission objectives, grow and improve profitability while remaining focused on serving low-to-moderate income communities." "During the first quarter of 2025, we executed an ECIP Securities Purchase Option Agreement with the U.S. Treasury that provides the option, upon the achievement of certain conditions, to repurchase the Series C Preferred Stock held by the U.S. Treasury at a favorable price. We look forward to continue working diligently towards meeting the conditions necessary to repurchase the shares in the future." "The Option Agreement is an unusual contract which prompted the engagement of an independent third-party to assist in understanding the proper accounting treatment and disclosure causing a delay in our financial reporting. We now have the appropriate process and framework for calculating the fair value of the option to purchase back the preferred stock at a future date." "I wish to thank our employees, stockholders, and depositors for their continued support to our mission. Your efforts and financial support are fundamental to our ability to expand, serve, and support our communities, customers, and broader stakeholders." Net Interest Income Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $8.0 million, representing an increase of $521 thousand, or 6.9%, from net interest income before provision for credit losses of $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase resulted from a $2.3 million decrease in interest expense on borrowings, due to decreases in the average balance and average cost of borrowings. The Company reduced borrowings to improve the net interest margin and to support capacity for future loan growth. The decrease in interest expense was complemented by a $1.6 million increase in interest and fees on loans receivable, primarily due to an increase in rates. These increases were partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in interest expense on deposits, due to increases in rates and the average balance of deposits, a $1.1 million decrease in interest income on interest-earning deposits due to decreases in rates and the average balance of interest-earning deposits, and an $867 thousand decrease in interest income on available-for-sale securities due to decreases in rates and the average balance of available-for-sale securities. The net interest margin increased to 2.70% for the first quarter of 2025 from 2.27% for the first quarter of 2024, due to an increase in the average rate earned on interest-earnings assets, which increased to 4.82% for the first quarter of 2025 from 4.45% for the first quarter of 2024, and a decrease in the cost of funds, which decreased to 2.97% for the first quarter of 2025 from 3.02% for the first quarter of 2024. Provision for Credit Losses For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $689 thousand, compared to a provision for credit losses of $260 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to one new non-accrual loan. No loan charge-offs were recorded during the quarters ended March 31, 2025 or 2024. The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") increased to $8.8 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $8.1 million as of December 31, 2024. The Bank had three non-accrual loans at March 31, 2025 with an unpaid principal balance of $860 thousand. Credit quality remains strong with non-accrual loans as a percentage of total loans at 0.09% and non-performing assets to total assets of 0.07% despite the addition of non-accrual loans. Non-interest Expense Total non-interest expense was $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2024, representing an increase of $2.4 million, or 30.6%. The increase was primarily due to a $1.9 million loss incurred from wire fraud, which will result in a gain if recovered. In addition, compensation and benefits expense increased $1.0 million, which included $122 thousand in severance expense, partially offset by a $710 thousand decrease in professional services expense. The increase in compensation and benefits expense was primarily attributable to the addition of full-time employees during 2024 in various production and administrative positions as part of the Bank's efforts to expand its operational capabilities to grow its balance sheet. The decrease in professional services was primarily due to a third-party firm reviewing certain general ledger account reconciliations, as well as other professional services, during the first quarter of 2024. Income Taxes The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $692 thousand for the first quarter of 2025 and income tax benefit of $57 thousand for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in tax benefit reflected a decrease of $2.3 million in pre-tax income between the two periods. The effective tax rate was 27.11% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 23.75% for the first quarter of 2024. Balance Sheet Summary Total assets decreased by $65.7 million at March 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, reflecting decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $45.6 million, securities available-for-sale of $17.9 million and FHLB stock of $5.0 million, partially offset by an increase in net loans of $2.4 million. Loans held for investment, net of the ACL, increased by $2.4 million to $971.2 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $968.9 million at December 31, 2024. Deposits increased by $31.1 million, or 4.2%, to $776.5 million at March 31, 2025, from $745.4 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in deposits was attributable to an increase of $53.4 million in certificates of deposit accounts, partially offset by decreases of $9.6 million in Insured Cash Sweep ("ICS") deposits (ICS deposits are the Bank's money market deposit accounts in excess of FDIC insured limits whereby the Bank makes reciprocal arrangements for insurance with other banks), $6.5 million in liquid deposits (demand, interest checking, and money market accounts), $3.8 million in Certificate of Deposit Registry Service ("CDARS") deposits (CDARS deposits are similar to ICS deposits, but involve certificates of deposit, instead of money market accounts), and $2.4 million in savings deposits. As of March 31, 2025, our uninsured deposits, including deposits from City First Bank and other affiliates, represented 34% of our total deposits, compared to 32% as of December 31, 2024. We leverage our long-standing partnership with IntraFi Deposit Solutions to offer deposit insurance for accounts exceeding the FDIC deposit insurance limit of $250,000. Total borrowings decreased by $93.9 million to $168.2 million at March 31, 2025, from $262.1 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to a $117.5 million decrease in FHLB advances, partially offset by a $14.1 million increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and a $9.4 million increase in secured borrowings associated with participation loan transactions. Capital Stockholders' equity was $284.6 million, or 23.0% of the Company's total assets, at March 31, 2025, compared to $285.2 million, or 21.9% of the Company's total assets, at December 31, 2024. Stockholders' equity decreased primarily due to a $2.6 million decrease in retained earnings, partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. Book value per share was $14.58 at March 31, 2025, compared to $14.82 at December 31, 2024. Capital ratios remain strong with a Community Bank Leverage Ratio of 15.24% at March 31, 2025 compared to 13.96% at December 31,2024.
