(NASDAQ: BVFL), (the “Company”) the holding company for BayVanguard Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $1.1 million or $0.13 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to net income of $2.1 million or $0.21 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Financial Condition Total Assets. Total assets were $910.9 million at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 0.2%, from $912.2 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was due primarily to the decrease of $19.3 million in loans, partially offset by an increase of $18.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $18.9 million, or 33.9%, to $74.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $55.7 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in cash was primarily a result of the pay-downs in loans. Net Loans Receivable. Loans receivable decreased $19.3 million, or 2.6%, to $735.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $754.9 million at December 31, 2025. Real estate loans decreased $11.3 million while consumer and commercial loans decreased $8.0 million. Securities. Securities available for sale decreased by $336,000, or 1.0%, from December 31, 2025 as paydowns and maturities were not fully replaced with new purchases. The held-to-maturity portfolio experienced a slight decrease due to paydowns. Total Liabilities. Total liabilities decreased $1.2 million, or 0.16%, to $727.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $728.4 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was due primarily to the decrease in deposits offset by an increase in other liabilities. Deposits. Total deposits decreased $2.6 million, or 0.38% to $673.5 million at March 31, 2026 from $676.1 million at December 31, 2025. Interest-bearing deposits decreased $3.5 million, or 0.7%, to $534.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $537.7 million at December 31, 2025. Noninterest bearing deposits increased $1.0 million, or 0.7%, to $139.3 million at March 31, 2026 from $138.4 million at December 31, 2025. Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings. The Company had $35 million in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity decreased $167,000, or 0.1%, to $183.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $183.8 million at December 31, 2025 a due to $2.0 million in stock repurchases offset by net income, and the impact of equity compensation plans. Asset Quality. Non-performing loans at March 31, 2026 totaled $2.6 million, compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2025. The Company had no foreclosed real estate at either period. At March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses on loans was $6.4 million, which represented 0.87% of total loans and 282.9% of non-performing loans compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2025, which represented 0.85% of total loans and 284.72% of non-performing loans. Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 Net Income. Net income was $1.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to net income of $2.1 million or $0.21 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the previously-noted executive payout, offset by higher net interest income. Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 4.36% compared to 4.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to the Bank's utilization of lower cost Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings to replace the $35.0 million in subordinated debt that was paid off in December 2025 and higher rates earned on the loan portfolio, offset by lower yields on other interest-earning assets. Provision for Credit Losses. The Company recorded a recovery of credit losses of $11,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a provision of $297,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Noninterest Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, noninterest income totaled approximately $528,000 compared to $530,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Noninterest Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, noninterest expense totaled $7.6 million compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Compensation and benefits expenses increased $1.3 million, or 27.8% primarily due to the executive payout noted above and regular merit salary increases somewhat offset by lower equity compensation costs of $0.5 million. Other expenses increased $141,000 or 39.6%. Income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, income tax expense was $961,000 for an effective tax rate of 46.8%. In the quarter ended March 31, 2025, income tax expense was $599,000 for an effective tax rate of 22.2%. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the non-deductible portion of the executive transition payment.
