CEO and Board Chair Commentary
Timothy T. O'Dell, President and CEO, commented "Our Q4 Results, with Net Income of $5.7 million, underscores our Core Earnings run rate expectations. During 2025 we overcame significantly elevated Loan Payoffs, through strong generation of quality New loans and loan customers. Expanding and deepening our Commercial & Regional Banking Teams in our Four (4) primary Metro Markets is expected to provide increasing business opportunities going forward, as these newer Business Generators achieve greater traction. We enter 2026 with a substantially deeper and stronger Team of Bankers.
Additionally, we are making good progress with both lowering our Cost of funds, coupled with expanding NIM. These are the results of having maintained strong Pricing disciplines, including the use of Loan floor rates.
Also, we made progress reducing the number of Lower Rate Residential Mortgage Loans, while modestly also increasing the overall Portfolio yield on Residential Mortgage loans. Our Residential Mortgage Loan Portfolio is funded predominantly through Municipal Deposits.
Our Efficiency Ratio remains within our target of <50%, driven by solid Productivity and our Branch Lite Business Model.
We expect to operate in a more stabilized Interest rate environment during 2026. Fed Rate reductions provide a Net Positive bias to Earnings.
Deposits of all types remain highly competitive as Banks seek to fund improving Loan growth. We believe that CFBank is well positioned to compete effectively for all Deposit categories, particularly given our strong Efficiency and Branch Lite Business Model.
Based upon our Pipelines and the addition of proven high performing Bankers, plus the anticipated decline in Commercial Loan Payoffs during 2026, we anticipate stronger Commercial Growth rates as we pursue our objective of adding scale to our Commercial Bank.
Our Bests are yet Ahead!"
Robert E. Hoeweler, Chairman of the Board, added "Solid Q4 Results evidence Management's diligence in remaining nimble and managing through both a challenging interest rate environment and economic backdrop."

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $17.5 million (or $2.69 per diluted common share) compared to net income of $13.4 million (or $2.06 per diluted common share) for the year ended December 31, 2024. Pre-provision, pre-tax net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $29.8 million compared to PPNR of $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income totaled $14.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and increased $533,000, or 3.9%, compared to $13.8 million for the prior quarter, and increased $1.8 million, or 14.3%, compared to $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
The increase in net interest income compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a $835,000, or 5.0%, decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a $302,000 decrease in interest income. The decrease in interest expense when compared to the prior quarter was attributed to a 21bps decrease in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributed to a 10bps decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a $10.8 million, or .1%, increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding. The net interest margin of 2.85% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 increased 9bps compared to the net interest margin of 2.76% for the prior quarter.
The increase in net interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a $1.7 million, or 9.8%, decrease in interest expense, coupled with a $75,000, or 0.3%, increase in interest income. The decrease in interest expense was attributed to a 49bps decrease in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $22.5 million, or 1.4%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a $62.8 million, or 3.2%, increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding, partially offset by an 18bps decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets. The net interest margin of 2.85% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 increased 28bps compared to the net interest margin of 2.57% for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 totaled $1.4 million and decreased $295,000, or 17.2%, compared to $1.7 million for the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a $228,000 decrease in Swap fee income.
Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased $23,000, or 1.6%, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Asset Quality
Nonaccrual loans were $15.3 million, or 0.87% of total loans at December 31, 2025, an increase of $5.3 million from $10.0 million at September 30, 2025, and an increase of $610,000 from $14.5 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in nonperforming loans during Q4 2025 included the addition of one commercial real estate loan for $4.5 million, which was on our watch list, and one C&I loan for $263,000. These two loans have a 75% guarantee from the Small Business Administration (SBA), which totals $3.6 million. Of the $15.3 million of nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2025, $5.1 million was guaranteed by the SBA.
Loans 30 days or more past due totaled $12.9 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $5.6 million at September 30, 2025 and $12.5 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in loans 30 days or more past due during Q4 2025 included the impact of the two aforementioned loans totaling $4.8 million that have a $3.6 million guarantee from the SBA.
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $17.7 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $16.8 million at September 30, 2025 and $17.5 million at December 31, 2024. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases to total loans and leases was 1.01% at December 31, 2025 compared to 0.97% at September 30, 2025 and 1.00% at December 31, 2024.
There was $1.2 million in provision for credit losses expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in provision expense when compared to the previous quarter was driven by the full charge-off in the third quarter of 2025 of a non-core loan, which resulted in a $3.7 million increase to provision expense. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 totaled $131,000, compared to net charge-offs of $7.1 million for the prior quarter and net charge-offs of $95,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in net charge-offs when compared to the previous quarter was driven by the previously mentioned full charge-off of a non-core loan in the third quarter of 2025, which totaled $7.0 million.
Deposits
Deposits totaled $1.78 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of $2.1 million, or 0.1%, when compared to $1.78 billion at September 30, 2025, and an increase of $24.9 million, or 1.4%, when compared to $1.76 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase when compared to September 30, 2025 was primarily due to a $7.9 million increase in noninterest-bearing account balances, partially offset by a $5.8 million decrease in interest-bearing accounts balances. The increase when compared to December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a $13.0 million increase in interest-bearing account balances, coupled with an $11.9 million increase in noninterest-bearing accounts balances.
At December 31, 2025, approximately 29.5% of our deposit balances exceeded the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000, as compared to approximately 29.7% at September 30, 2025 and approximately 29.8% at December 31, 2024.
Borrowings
FHLB advances and other debt totaled $101.0 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $101.0 million at September 30, 2025 and $92.7 million at December 31, 2024. The increase when compared to December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a $10.0 million increase in the outstanding balance on the holding company credit facility.
Capital
Stockholders' equity totaled $184.4 million at December 31, 2025, an increase of $5.1 million, or 2.9%, when compared to $179.3 million at September 30, 2025, and an increase of $16.0 million, or 9.5%, from $168.4 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in total stockholders' equity during the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributed to net income, partially offset by $519,000 in dividend payments. The increase in stockholders' equity during the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributed to net income, partially offset by $1.9 million in dividend payments.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This earnings release contains financial information and performance measures determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release include Pre-Provision, Pre-Tax Net Revenue (PPNR). PPNR is defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, minus total non-interest expense. This measure is a non- GAAP financial measure because it excludes the provision for (recovery of) credit losses and all gains and losses included in net income. Management uses this "non-GAAP" financial measure in its analysis of the Company's performance and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods and peers.
Disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included at the end of this earnings release under the heading "GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION."
