ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BayFirst Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: BAFN) (“BayFirst” or “Company”), parent company of BayFirst National Bank (“Bank”) reported a net loss of $32.7 million, or $8.05 per common share and diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to a restated net loss of $5.9 million, or $1.54 per common share and diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2026. The current quarter’s net loss was driven by expenses related to the Company’s asset resolution plan of $41.5 million.
“This quarter’s results reflect the financial impact of actions taken under our asset resolution plan, a deliberate step we believe strengthens our balance sheet and will position us well for the future,” stated Alfred Rogers, Chief Executive Officer. “Even as we absorbed this impact, we continued to invest in our Community Banking initiatives, including the upcoming opening of our newest branch in South Tampa, reflecting our long-term commitment to the markets we serve regardless of near-term conditions. We are taking a disciplined approach as we work through the issues affecting our performance, with a clear focus on the fundamentals of profitability and serving our local markets.
“We take our obligation to provide accurate and transparent financial reporting seriously. When we identified an understatement of provision expense and an overstatement of gain of sale on government guaranteed loans through our internal review process, we moved quickly to investigate, correct it, and inform our shareholders and regulators. The Bank remains well capitalized and well positioned to continue serving our customers and communities as we work toward improved performance.
“BayFirst’s commitment to the communities we serve has not changed, and I am confident we will keep strengthening our position as the community bank of choice within our Tampa Bay and Sarasota markets.”
Second Quarter 2026 Performance Review
- The capital raise reported on April 28, 2026 was $80 million before transaction fees. Of this total investment, $60 million was invested in the Bank during the second quarter.
- The Company completed and quantified the impact of the asset resolution plan adopted in accordance with the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 28, 2026. The asset resolution plan includes the identification of specific loans within the Company’s government guaranteed loan portfolio, as well as adjustments to the net amount expected to be collected on over 7,000 unguaranteed SBA 7(a) small balance loans. As a result, the Company recorded $41.5 million of provision expense, write-downs on loans measured at fair value, amortization of premiums paid on purchased government guaranteed loans, and impairment on nonmarketable securities during the quarter.
- Net interest margin was 3.48% in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 4 basis points from 3.44% in the first quarter of 2026 and a decrease of 53 basis points from 4.01% in the second quarter of 2025.
- Loans held for investment decreased by $41.4 million, or 4.5%, during the second quarter of 2026 to $882.8 million and decreased $237.7 million, or 21.2%, over the past year. The decrease from the prior year was partially the result of no new SBA 7(a) loan originations and the sale of $97.4 million of government guaranteed loans to a third party as part of the Bank’s discontinuance of SBA 7(a) lending.
- Deposits decreased $97.0 million, or 8.9%, during the second quarter of 2026 and decreased $174.9 million, or 15.0%, over the past year to $988.9 million. The decrease in deposits during the quarter was primarily due to decreases in high-rate promotional interest-bearing transaction account balances, savings and money market account balances, brokered deposits, and time deposit balances, partially offset by an increase in noninterest-bearing account balances.
- At June 30, 2026, book value per common share was $4.83 and tangible book value was $4.82 per common share, a decrease from $14.22 at March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily the result of the net loss in the second quarter 2026.
Results of Operations
Net Loss
The Company had a net loss of $32.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and a net loss of $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. The change in the second quarter of 2026 from the preceding quarter and from the second quarter of 2025 was primarily the result of $41.5 million of expense related to the asset resolution plan.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had a net loss of $38.6 million, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of $41.5 million expense related to the asset resolution plan.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income was $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2026 was relatively unchanged compared to the first quarter of 2026, which is a decrease of $2.7 million from $12.1 million during the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in loan interest income, including fees, was primarily related to the write down of $1.6 million of unamortized premiums on the Company’s portfolio of purchased fully guaranteed USDA loans which are at risk of default or early prepayment. The net interest margin was 3.48% in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 4 basis points from 3.44% in the first quarter of 2026 and a decrease of 53 basis points from 4.01% in the second quarter of 2025. Excluding the write-downs, the net interest margin for the second quarter was 4.07%.
The decrease in net interest income during the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the year ago quarter, was mainly due to a decrease in loan interest income, including fees, of $6.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $2.4 million.
Net interest income was $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease from $22.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in loan interest income, including fees, of $9.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $4.9 million.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was a negative $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to income of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and income of $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. The change from the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the first quarter of 2026, was primarily the result of a decrease in government guaranteed loan fair value gains of $5.9 million of which $6.2 million was related to the asset resolution plan. The decrease was also due to a loss on nonmarketable equity securities of $1.5 million which was related to the impairment of an investment in a firm who was a partner with the Company’s former SBA 7(a) lending business. The decrease in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, was the result of a decrease in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $5.9 million and the loss on nonmarketable equity securities of $1.5 million.
Noninterest income was a negative $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which was a decrease from income of $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $13.0 million, a decrease in government guaranteed loan fair value gains of $8.7 million, a decrease in government guaranteed loan packaging fees of $1.3 million, and the loss on nonmarketable equity securities of $1.5 million.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $14.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the prior quarter, was primarily due to $1.7 million of expenses related to the asset resolution plan and $2.3 million of one-time expenses to record a change in control payment and write-off vendor contracts related to national lending and digital account opening businesses which are not part of our community banking focus. The increase in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, was primarily due to an increase in loan servicing and origination expense of $0.6 million, an increase in data processing expenses of $0.6 million of which $1.4 million was related to the asset resolution plan, and an increase in other expense of $1.4 million of which $1.7 million was related to the asset resolution plan. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in compensation expense of $2.3 million which included $0.8 million of expense related to the asset resolution plan.
Noninterest expense was $32.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in compensation expense of $5.0 million, partially offset by an increase in loan servicing and origination expense of $3.4 million and an increase in other expense of $1.3 million.
Balance Sheet
Assets
Total assets decreased $54.7 million, or 4.6%, during the second quarter of 2026 to $1.13 billion, primarily the result of a decrease in loans held for investment of $41.4 million, an increase in allowance for credit losses on loans of $24.4 million, and an increase in the deferred tax asset of $11.4 million. Compared to the end of the second quarter last year, total assets decreased $202.5 million, or 15.1%, driven primarily by a decrease in loans held for investment of $237.7 million, and an increase in allowance for credit losses on loans of $28.0 million, partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $61.9 million.
Loans
Loans held for investment decreased $41.4 million, or 4.5%, during the second quarter of 2026 and $237.7 million, or 21.2%, over the past year to $882.8 million. The decrease from prior year was primarily due to loan payoffs and government guaranteed loan sales, which included the sale of the SBA 7(a) loans to a third party in the fourth quarter as part of the Bank’s discontinuance of SBA 7(a) lending. This was partially offset by originations in both conventional community bank loans and USDA government guaranteed loans.
Deposits
Deposits decreased $97.0 million, or 8.9%, during the second quarter of 2026 and decreased $174.9 million, or 15.0%, from the second quarter of 2025, ending June 30, 2026, at $988.9 million. During the second quarter, there were decreases in interest-bearing transaction account balances of $18.2 million, savings and money market account balances of $9.8 million, and time deposit balances of $74.2 million, partially offset by an increase in noninterest-bearing account balances of $5.3 million. The decrease in deposits during the quarter was primarily due to reductions in high-rate promotional deposits held with non-relationship customers and also a decrease in brokered deposits. During the second quarter, the Bank reduced cost of funds by 20 basis points. At June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, the Company had $163.8 million, $183.9 million, and $186.7 million, respectively, of brokered deposits.
Asset Quality
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses in the second quarter of $29.0 million, compared to provisions of $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $7.6 million during the second quarter of 2025. The increase in the provision expense was primarily the result of $30.5 million of expense related to the asset resolution plan.
The ratio of allowance for credit losses (ACL) on loans to total loans held for investment at amortized cost was 5.37% at June 30, 2026, 2.36% as of March 31, 2026, and 1.65% as of June 30, 2025. The ratio of ACL on loans to total loans held for investment at amortized cost, excluding government guaranteed loan balances, was 5.82% at June 30, 2026, 2.55% as of March 31, 2026, and 1.86% as of June 30, 2025. The increase in ACL percentage was the result of provision expense booked during the quarter as determined by the asset resolution plan.
Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2026 were $4.5 million, which was a decrease from $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 and a decrease from $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2025. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans held for investment at amortized cost were 2.08% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 2.14% in the first quarter of 2025 and 2.74% in the second quarter of 2025. Nonperforming assets were 1.75% of total assets as of June 30, 2026, compared to 2.01% as of March 31, 2026, and 1.79% as of June 30, 2025. Nonperforming assets, excluding government guaranteed loan balances, were 1.32% of total assets as of June 30, 2026, compared to 1.39% as of March 31, 2026, and 1.13% as of June 30, 2025.
Capital
The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.30% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 5.89% as of March 31, 2026, and 7.73% as of June 30, 2025. The CET 1 and Tier 1 capital ratios to risk-weighted assets were 11.47% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 7.74% as of March 31, 2026, and 9.51% as of June 30, 2025.

Recent Events

Furthermore, management identified $3.4 million, pretax, of deferred origination costs which should have been netted against gain on sale of guaranteed SBA 7a loans which resulted in a material over statement of gain on sale of government guaranteed loans, during the affected quarterly periods in which the error accumulated in 2024 and 2025.
