BV Financial, Inc. (BVFL)

Contact: Michael J. Dee Chief Financial Officer (410) 477- 5000 BV FINANCIAL, INC. ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS Baltimore, Maryland, October 23, 2026– BV Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: BVFL), the holding company for BayVanguard Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $3.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 compared to net income of $3.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 was $8.0 million or $0.97 per diluted share compared to net income of $8.7 million or $0.88 per diluted share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. Operating pre-provision net revenue (OPPNR) is a non-GAAP financial metric used by management to monitor the Company’s financial results. This metric excludes the expense, or reversal of the expense for the provision for credit losses as well as the costs of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, costs associated with out executive transition in the first quarter and the associated changes in the effective tax rate, and other items. Since the adoption of ASC 326 (CECL) in January 2023, the provision line item on the income statement has been extremely volatile, making this metric useful for management in evaluating core earnings capacity before credit costs. OPPNR was $5.3 million or $0.65 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $5.2 million or $0.57 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2025. OPPNR was $15.4 million or $1.87 per diluted share for the nine-months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $14.8 million or $1.50 per diluted share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. For a reconciliation of pre-provision net interest income as reported and non-GAAP OPPNR, see the table at the end of this press release. Financial Highlights • Return on average assets and return on average equity for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were 1.57% and 7.50%, respectively. • Net loans decreased $22.1 million or 2.96% to $726.34 million compared to $748.48 million at December 31, 2025. • Deposits decreased $2.1 million or 0.32% from $676.1 million at December 31, 2025 to $674.0 million at September 30, 2026. • Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta “FHLB” decreased by $30.0 million or 85.7%. • Non-accrual loans increased $0.9 million to $3.2 million at September 30, 2026 from $2.3 million at December 31, 2025. • The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 and a reversal in the provisions for credit losses of $14,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2026. • During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 163,540 shares of its outstanding common stock at an average price of $21.16. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total Assets. Total assets were $877.9 million at September 30, 2026, a decrease of $34.2 million, or 3.76%, from $912.2 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was due primarily to the Company utilizing cash resulting from a decrease in the loan portfolio to repay $30.0 million in borrowings from the FHLB. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.7 million, or 10.2%, to $50.0 million at September 30, 2026 from $55.7 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash was primarily a result of the pay-off of the FHLB borrowings. Loans Receivable. Loans receivable decreased $22.2 million, or 2.9%, to $732.7 million at September 30, 2026 from $754.9 million at December 31, 2025. The largest decreases in the portfolio occurred in the commercial ($11.6) million, construction and land ($9.4 million), and one-to-four family non-owner-occupied loans ($7.1) million. Securities. Securities available for sale decreased by $2.3 million or 7.0% from December 31, 2025 as paydowns and maturities were not entirely replaced with new purchases. The held-to-maturity portfolio decreased due to the pay-off of two holdings of subordinated debentures. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock decreased $1.4 million or 61.3% as a result of the advance pay-off reducing the required ownership amount. Total Liabilities. Total liabilities decreased $34.6 million or 4.7%, to $693.8 million at September 30, 2026 from $728.4 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was due primarily to the decrease in borrowings. Deposits. Total deposits decreased $2.1 million, or 0.32% to $674.0 million at September 30, 2026 from $676.1 million at December 31, 2025. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1.1 million or 0.8% to $139.5 million. Interest bearing deposits decreased $3.2 million, or 0.60%, to $534.5 million at September 30, 2026 from $537.7 million at December 31, 2025. Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $0.4 million, or 0.23%, to $184.2 million at September 30, 2026 from $183.8 million at December 31, 2025 as net income and the impact of earned stock compensation offset the $9.3 million in stock repurchases during the period. RESULTS OF OPERATION Net Income. Net income was $3.4 million or $0.42 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $3.7 million or $0.41 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Net income was $8.0 million or $0.97 per diluted share for the nine- months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $8.7 million or $0.88 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in income for the year-to-date period is due to both the $2.2 million first quarter executive transition expense and the related tax impact as well as changes in the provision for credit losses. Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was 4.46% compared to 4.40% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to the lower average balance of loans outstanding in the period. Net interest income was $27.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $27.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was 4.47% compared to 4.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to the lower borrowing costs in the period due to the pay-off of the subordinated debentures in December 2025. Noninterest Income. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, noninterest income totaled $0.68 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 noninterest income totaled $1.7 million compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended and September 30, 2025. The decrease was due to the write-down of a former branch location prior to its sale. Noninterest Expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, noninterest expense totaled $5.1 million compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Decreases in compensation and benefits of $0.7 million due to lower staffing and lower expenses for the 2024 Equity Plan as well as a decrease in other expense of $0.1 million, primarily due to lower fraud losses, were the primary drivers of the overall decrease. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, noninterest expense totaled $18.1 million as compared to $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Compensation and benefits expense increased $0.1 million due to the $2.2 million cost of the executive transition in the first quarter mostly offset by lower staffing levels and lower costs of the 2024 Equity Plan. Data processing expenses increased $81,000 due to the cost of new product implementation. Asset Quality. Non-performing assets at September 30, 2026 totaled $3.2 million, compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2025, all of which were nonperforming loans. At September 30, 2026, the allowance for credit losses on loans was $6.3 million, which represented 0.86% of total loans and 197.1% of non-performing loans compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2025, which represented 0.85% of total loans and 284.7% of non-performing loans.

The Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain items and provide an alternative view of its performance over time. Non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total stockholders' equity or operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
