BayFirst Financial Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results, Announces Restructuring Plan Including Exit From SBA 7(a) Lending
ST. PETERSBURG, FL. — October 30, 2025 — BayFirst Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: BAFN) (“BayFirst” or “Company”), parent company of BayFirst National Bank (“Bank”) today reported a net loss of $18.9 million, or $4.66 per common share and diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.39 per common share and diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2025. The current quarter’s net loss was driven by higher provision expense and $12.4 million in one-time charges, including a restructuring charge of $7.3 million, as a result of the exit from the SBA 7(a) lending business and the definitive agreement to sell SBA 7(a) loans to Banesco USA.
“Our third quarter results reflect a period of significant strategic transformation for the Company,” stated Thomas G. Zernick, Chief Executive Officer. “The quarter included significant one-time items related to our restructuring efforts, all of which represent decisive steps toward a stronger future.
“As we announced earlier this year, Management and the Board initiated a comprehensive strategic review aimed at derisking our balance sheet and positioning the Company for long-term growth and enhanced shareholder value. During the third quarter, we made meaningful progress on this initiative. In September, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell a portion of the Bank's SBA 7(a) loan portfolio to Banesco USA for 97% of the retained loans' balances or a net loss of $5.1 million. In conjunction with this transaction, we will be exiting the SBA 7(a) lending business entirely. We are on track to close this transaction during the fourth quarter, contingent on the federal government reopening to complete the necessary approvals. While this represents a significant shift in our business model, we believe it is the right decision to reduce risk, strengthen our balance sheet, and better focus our resources on our core strategic priorities.
“We anticipate agreeing to additional actions with the OCC during the fourth quarter, focused on credit administration, strategic planning, and capital preservation. We take our regulatory obligations very seriously and are fully committed to meeting the highest operational standards,” Zernick continued. “Management has already taken significant steps to address credit quality issues, and we are dedicating substantial resources to strengthen our credit administration. This is our top priority and our team is committed to addressing the concerns outlined as quickly as possible. With the support of our Board of Directors, we have full confidence in our team to ensure these matters are resolved promptly, positioning BayFirst for improved operating results.
“Our focus remains firmly on what matters most: being the premier community bank in Tampa Bay. That means building real relationships with local individuals, families, and small businesses through reliable checking and savings accounts. These connections give us a solid, stable funding foundation while strengthening our footprint throughout Tampa Bay's dynamic market. In fact, more than 84% of our deposits are insured. This relationship-driven strategy positions us to deliver sustainable growth while maintaining the disciplined risk management and operational efficiency central to our long-term value creation.
“Though profitability has not met expectations, we are building a stronger, more resilient organization. Once restructuring is complete, we expect to return to profitability with a goal of positive return on assets of 40-70 basis points in 2026, with continued improvement in later years. Additionally, we will continue resolving problem loans and improving credit quality.

Third Quarter 2025 Performance Review
•Net interest margin was 3.61% in the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of 45 basis points from 4.06% in the second quarter of 2025 and an increase of 27 basis points from 3.34% in the third quarter of 2024. There was an adjustment of $0.6 million which was the result of a one-time reversal of accrued interest on loans that moved to nonaccrual status combined with the recognition of unamortized premiums of $0.4 million on a single USDA loan which was liquidated during the quarter.
•The Company’s government guaranteed loan team originated $47.0 million in new loans during the third quarter of 2025, a decrease from $106.4 million of loans produced in the previous quarter, and a decrease from $94.4 million of loans produced during the third quarter of 2024. In August 2025, the Company discontinued its Bolt loan program, an SBA 7(a) loan designed to provide small balance loans to small businesses, typically used for working capital. The discontinuance of the Bolt program contributed to the decrease in loan originations. Additionally, on September 29, 2025, the Company announced its plan to exit the SBA 7(a) lending business altogether and its intent to sell a portion of the SBA 7(a) loan portfolio.
•Loans held for investment decreased by $127.1 million, or 11.3%, during the third quarter of 2025 to $998.7 million and decreased $43.8 million, or 4.2%, over the past year. The decrease was primarily the result of the reclassification of $97.0 million of loans to held for sale, which was subsequently marked to the lower of cost or market. Additionally, during the quarter, the Company originated $75.0 million of loans and sold $51.9 million of government guaranteed loan balances.
•Deposits increased $7.7 million, or 0.7%, during the third quarter of 2025 and increased $59.3 million, or 5.3%, over the past year to $1.17 billion. The increase in deposits during the quarter was primarily due to increases in time deposit balances, partially offset by decreases in noninterest-bearing account balances, interest-bearing transaction account balances, and savings and money market account balances.
•Book value and tangible book value at September 30, 2025 were $17.90 per common share, a decrease from $22.30 at June 30, 2025.

The Company had a net loss of $18.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2025 and net income of $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. The change in the third quarter of 2025 from the preceding quarter was primarily the result of a decrease in net interest income of $1.1 million, an increase in provision for credit losses of $3.7 million, a decrease in noninterest income of $11.8 million, and an increase in noninterest expense of $7.7 million. This was partially offset by an increase in income tax benefit of $6.6 million.

In the first nine months of 2025, the Company had a net loss of $20.5 million, a decrease from net income of $2.8 million for the first nine months of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in provision for credit losses of $12.4 million, a decrease in noninterest income of $19.7 million, and an increase in noninterest expense of $7.1 million. This was partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $7.3 million and a decrease in income tax expense of $8.6 million.

The decrease in net interest income from continuing operations during the third quarter of 2025, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, was mainly due to a decrease in loan interest income, including fees, of
$0.6 million which was the result of a one-time reversal of accrued interest on loans that moved to nonaccrual status combined with the recognition of unamortized premium on a single USDA loan which was liquidated during the quarter.
The increase in net interest income from continuing operations during the third quarter of 2025, as compared to the year ago quarter, was mainly due to a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $2.0 million.
Net interest income from continuing operations was $34.6 million in the first nine months of 2025, an increase from $27.4 million in the first nine months of 2024. The increase was mainly due to an increase in loan interest income, including fees, of $3.8 million and a decrease in interest expense of $3.5 million.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income from continuing operations was a negative $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, which was a decrease from $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 and a decrease from $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, was primarily the result of a decrease in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $3.1 million, a decrease in government guaranteed loan fair value gains of $3.3 million, and the unfavorable fair value adjustment on held for sale loans of $5.1 million. The unfavorable fair value adjustment on held for sale loans was the result of the expected sale of a portion of the SBA 7(a) loan portfolio. The decrease in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to the third quarter of 2024, was the result of a decrease in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $3.1 million, a decrease in fair value gains on government guaranteed loans of $4.3 million, the unfavorable fair value adjustment on held for sale loans of $5.1 million, and a decrease in government guaranteed loan packaging fees of $0.5 million.
Noninterest income from continuing operations was $18.5 million for the first nine months of 2025, which was a decrease from $38.2 million for the first nine months of 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $3.3 million, a decrease in government guaranteed loan fair value gains of $9.1 million, the unfavorable fair value adjustment on held for sale loans of $5.1 million, and a decrease in government guaranteed loan packaging fees of $1.7 million.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense from continuing operations was $25.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 and $17.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to the prior quarter, was primarily due to the restructure charges of $7.3 million related to the comprehensive strategic review aimed at reducing expenses and derisking the bank's balance sheet which included the exit of the SBA 7(a) business. The increase in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to the third quarter of 2024, was primarily due to the restructure charges of $7.3 million and higher loan origination and collection expenses of $1.3 million.
Noninterest expense from continuing operations was $58.6 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared to $51.4 million for the first nine months of 2024. The increase was primarily the result of the restructure charges of $7.3 million.
Balance Sheet
Assets
Total assets increased $2.1 million, or 0.2%, during the third quarter of 2025 to $1.35 billion, mainly due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $41.3 million, partially offset by decreases in total loans (held for investment and held for sale) of $33.1 million and an increase in allowance for credit losses on loans of $7.4 million. Compared to the end of the third quarter last year, total assets increased $100.9 million, or 8.1%, driven primarily by growth in loans (held for investment and held for sale) of $49.7 million and cash and cash equivalents of $54.2 million.

Loans
Loans held for investment decreased $127.1 million, or 11.3%, during the third quarter of 2025 and $43.8 million, or 4.2%, over the past year to $998.7 million, primarily due to the transfer of $97.0 million of loans to held for sale, which was subsequently marked to the lower of cost or market, as well as government guaranteed loan sales, partially offset by originations in both conventional community bank loans and government guaranteed loans.
Deposits
Deposits increased $7.7 million, or 0.7%, during the third quarter of 2025 and increased $59.3 million, or 5.3%, from the third quarter of 2024, ending September 30, 2025, at $1.17 billion. During the third quarter, there was an increase in time deposit balances of $53.0 million, partially offset by decreases in noninterest-bearing account balances of $3.8 million, interest-bearing transaction account balances of $27.9 million, and savings and money market account balances of $13.7 million. At September 30, 2025, approximately 84% of total deposits were insured by the FDIC. At times, the Bank has brokered time deposit and non-maturity deposit relationships available to diversify its funding sources. At September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, the Company had $235.9 million, $186.7 million, and $76.9 million, respectively, of brokered deposits.
Asset Quality
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses in the third quarter of $10.9 million, compared to provisions of $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $3.1 million during the third quarter of 2024.

The increase in the ACL was the result of increases in nonperforming loans and continued economic uncertainty.
Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2025 were $3.3 million, which was a decrease from $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2025 and an increase from $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2024.

Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial measures included in this report are not measures of financial condition or performance recognized by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible common shareholders' equity and tangible book value per common share. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of our performance, and we believe that providing this information to financial analysts and investors allows them to evaluate capital adequacy.
The following presents the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures.
