Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bogota Financial Corp. reported a clear turnaround for 2025, moving to full‑year net income of $2.1 million, or $0.17 per share, from a net loss of $2.2 million, or $(0.17) per share, in 2024. For the fourth quarter of 2025, net income was $680,000 versus a net loss of $930,000 a year earlier.

The improvement was driven mainly by stronger core banking performance. Net interest income for 2025 rose 46.6% to $15.5 million, as the net interest margin expanded to 1.80% from 1.16% and the interest rate spread widened to 1.29%. Lower funding costs on deposits and reduced Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings contributed meaningfully.

The balance sheet intentionally shrank, with total assets down to $904.9 million and net loans down 9.0%, while deposits increased modestly to $652.4 million and borrowings fell 45.8%. Asset quality remained manageable, with non‑performing assets at 1.44% of total assets and no net charge‑offs, though delinquent loans increased. Capital strengthened as stockholders’ equity rose to $140.9 million, helped by earnings and a smaller securities valuation loss, even after repurchasing 123,603 shares.

Positive

  • Return to profitability: Full-year 2025 net income was $2.1 million versus a $2.2 million loss in 2024, with Q4 2025 net income of $680,811 versus a prior-year quarterly loss of $930,001.
  • Stronger core margins: Net interest income rose 46.6% to $15.47 million in 2025 as net interest margin expanded to 1.80% from 1.16% and interest rate spread widened to 1.29% from 0.66%.
  • Reduced wholesale dependence: Federal Home Loan Bank advances declined 45.8% to $93.32 million at December 31, 2025, while deposits increased 1.6% to $652.45 million, supporting a more deposit-funded balance sheet.
  • Capital and equity growth: Stockholders’ equity increased to $140.91 million from $137.29 million, improving the equity-to-assets ratio to 15.18%, even after repurchasing 123,603 shares at a total cost of $1.1 million.

Negative

  • Higher delinquencies: Delinquent loans rose to $27.6 million, or 3.1% of total loans, at December 31, 2025, up $13.3 million year over year, indicating more borrowers are behind on payments.
  • Concentrated nonperforming exposure: Non-performing loans were 2.01% of total loans, with $10.9 million, or 83.2% of non-performing loans, tied to a single construction loan, increasing concentration risk.
  • Efficiency still elevated: Although improved, the 2025 efficiency ratio was 88.29%, down from 122.61% in 2024, indicating operating expenses remain high relative to revenues compared with more efficient peers.

Insights

Bogota Financial posts a profitable 2025 with stronger margins and lower wholesale funding.

Bogota Financial Corp. shifted from a $2.2 million loss in 2024 to $2.1 million net income in 2025. The core driver was a $4.9 million increase in net interest income as the net interest margin improved to 1.80% and rate spread to 1.29%. Lower deposit and borrowing costs, plus better yields on securities, supported this rebound.

The bank also de‑risked its balance sheet. Total assets fell to $904.9 million, net loans declined 9.0%, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances dropped 45.8% to $93.3 million. Equity rose to $140.9 million, aided by earnings and a smaller accumulated other comprehensive loss, despite $1.1 million of share repurchases.

Credit metrics are mixed. Non‑performing assets held at 1.44% of total assets with no net charge‑offs, and the allowance stood at 0.39% of loans. However, delinquent loans increased to $27.6 million, or 3.1% of total loans, and one large construction credit represents most non‑performers. Future filings for periods after December 31, 2025 will show whether these issues remain contained as the bank executes its 2026 growth plans.

Bogota Financial Corp. Reports Results for the
Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2025

 
NEWS PROVIDED BY
Bogota Financial Corp.
 


Teaneck, New Jersey, February 13, 2026  Bogota Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: BSBK) (the “Company”), the holding company for Bogota Savings Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 of $680,000 or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $930,000 or $0.07 per basic and diluted share for the comparable prior year period. The Company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $2.1 million or $0.17 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, for the prior year. 
 
Other Financial Highlights:
 
 
Total assets decreased $66.7 million, or 6.9%, to $904.9 million at December 31, 2025 from $971.5 million at December 31, 2024, largely due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and loans, offset by an increase in securities available for sale.
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $16.6 million, or 31.8%, to $35.6 million at December 31, 2025 from $52.2 million at December 31, 2024, due to cash used to purchase securities available for sale.
 
   
Securities available for sale increased $17.8 million, or 12.7%, to $158.1 million at December 31, 2025 from $140.3 million at December 31, 2024.  Average yields on securities available for sale increased 143 basis points from 3.88% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, to 5.31% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, due to the balance sheet restructuring that took place in December 2024.  
 
 
Net loans decreased $64.1 million, or 9.0%, to $647.6 million at December 31, 2025 from $711.7 million at December 31, 2024 due to decreases in residential, multi-family, commercial and industrial and construction loans, offset by an increase in commercial real estate loans. Average yields on net loans increased 19 basis points from 4.69% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, to 4.88% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 due to a higher proportion of commercial real estate loans.
 
 
Total deposits at December 31, 2025 were $652.4 million, increasing $10.3 million, or 1.6%, as compared to $642.2 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to a $14.8 million increase in interest-bearing deposits offset by a $4.5 million decrease in non-interest bearing checking accounts. The average rate paid on deposits decreased 43 basis points to 3.30% for 2025 from 3.73% for 2024 due to lower market interest rates and an increase in NOW accounts, which increased $10.5 million, or 19.0%, to $65.5 million at December 31, 2025 from $55.0 million at December 31, 2024. The cost of such accounts also increased 23 basis points to 2.76% for 2025 from 2.53% for 2024.
 
 
Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $78.9 million, or 45.8% to $93.3 million at December 31, 2025 from $172.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
 
 
As of December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 76,673 shares of its common stock at a cost of $656,000, pursuant to its current program, which allows for the repurchase of up to 237,950 shares. 
 
   
Kevin Pace, President and Chief Executive Officer, said “This year’s results reflect the strength of our strategy and the disciplined execution of our team. After navigating a challenging period, we made significant strides returning to profitability with 2025 net income of $2.1 million compared to a loss of $2.2 million the prior year.  With a more resilient balance sheet and a clear focus on responsible growth, we are well positioned to deliver long-term value for our shareholders and a meaningful impact across our communities. As we look ahead, we remain focused on investing in our customers, expanding our capabilities, and delivering consistent long-term value.  Our 2026 growth plan includes a new branch location in Central/Southern New Jersey, with an anticipated opening in early summer.  We continue to work through our sixth stock buyback program with a commitment to adding shareholder value.”

Income Statement Analysis
 
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024
 
Net income increased by $1.6 million to net income of $681,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from a net loss of $930,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024.  This increase was primarily due to an increase of $359,000 in interest income, a $1.5 million decrease in interest expense and a decrease of $460,000 in income tax expense, offset by a $229,000 increase in non-interest expense and a $193,000 decrease in non-interest income.
 
Interest income increased $359,000, or 3.4%, from $10.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to $11.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 due to higher yields on interest-earning assets offset by lower average balances. 
 
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents increased $167,000, or 87.4%, to $358,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $191,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 due to a $12.7 million increase in the average balance to $26.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $13.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, reflecting the increase of liquidity due to lower loan originations. Due to rate cuts enacted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the third and fourth quarters of the year, the yield on cash and cash equivalents decreased 20 basis points from 5.61% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to 5.41% for the three months ended December 31, 2025.
 
Interest income on loans decreased $110,000, or 1.3%, to $8.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to a $55.4 million decrease in the average balance to $662.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $717.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, offset by a 31 basis point increase in the average yield from 4.73% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to 5.04% for the three months ended December 31, 2025.
 
Interest income on securities increased $409,000, or 24.7%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to a 146 basis point increase in the average yield from 3.77% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to 5.23% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as a result of the balance sheet restructuring that took place in December 2025 offset by a $17.7 million decrease in the average balance to $157.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $175.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Interest expense decreased $1.4 million, or 17.7%, from $8.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to $6.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 due to lower costs on interest-bearing liabilities and a $72.1 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from $805.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to $733.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the use of cash flow hedges reduced interest expense by $76,000, compared to $280,000 in the same period of 2024.
 
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $657,000, or 14.5%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $6.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to a 51 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits to 3.51% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from 4.02% for the three months ended December 31, 2024.  The average balances of certificates of deposit decreased slightly to $501.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $501.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 while NOW and money market accounts and savings accounts increased $5.1 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024.
 
Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings decreased $774,000, or 40.8%, from $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $84.3 million to $107.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $192.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, which was partially offset by an increase in the average cost of 20 basis points to 4.12% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from 3.92% for the three months ended December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2025, cash flow hedges used to manage interest rate risk had a notional value of $85.0 million, while fair value hedges totaled $60.0 million in notional value. 
 
Net interest income increased $1.8 million, or 71.6%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.  The increase reflected a 90 basis point increase in our net interest rate spread to 1.51% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from 0.61% for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Our net interest margin increased 91 basis points to 2.00% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from 1.09% for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
 
We recorded a $218,000 recovery for credit losses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to no provision for credit losses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025.  The recovery in the fourth quarter of 2024 and no provisions in the fourth quarter of 2025 reflects the decrease in the loan portfolio and no charge-offs. 
 
Non-interest income decreased bthe193,000, or 46.1%, to $226,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $419,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024.  Gain on sale of loans decreased $20,000, or 100.0%, due to no sales during 2025 and gain on sale of assets in 2024 was higher by $68,000 as proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction exceeded the loss on securities. Other income decreased $96,000 due to a net loss on the investment in a limited partnership.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, non-interest expense increased $229,000, or 6.3%, over the comparable December 31, 2024 period. Occupancy and equipment increased $380,000, or 109.0%, due to higher lease expense associated with the sale leaseback transaction that took place in December 2024. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $10,000, or 0.4%, due to lower headcount. Professional fees increased $15,000, or 13.6%, due to higher legal costs in 2025. FDIC insurance premiums decreased $16,000, or 14.0%, due to a lower assessment rate in 2025. Data processing expense decreased $33,000, or 11.9%, due to lower processing costs. Director fees decreased $104,000, or 66.7%, due to lower pension expense. The decrease in advertising expense of $20,000, or 32.4%, was due to reduced promotions for branch locations and less promotions on deposit and loan products. Other expense increased $15,000, or 7.1%, due to higher miscellaneous expenses.
 
Income tax expense decreased $460,000, or 102.3%, to a benefit of $11,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from an expense of $450,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to tax reserves on uncertain deferred tax assets that were required in 2024.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024
 
Net income increased by $4.3 million, or 196.3%, to net income of $2.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from net loss of $2.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $4.9 million in net interest income, an increase of $420,000 in non-interest income offset by an increase of $707,000 in non-interest expense and an increase of $353,000 in income tax.
 
Interest income increased $1.3 million, or 3.0%, from $41.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to $43.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 due to higher yields on interest-earning assets offset by lower average balances.
 
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents increased $302,000, or 49.8%, to $908,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from $606,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024due to a 72 basis point decrease in the average yield from 5.94% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to 5.22% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 due to the lower interest rate environment for most of 2025, offset by a $7.2 million increase in the average balance to $17.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from $10.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 
 
Interest income on loans increased $110,000, or 0.3%, to $33.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $33.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to a 19 basis point increase in the average yield from 4.69% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to 4.88% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 offset by a $26.3 million decrease in the average balance to $686.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from $713.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

Interest expense decreased $3.7 million, or 11.7%, from $31.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to $27.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 due to lower costs on interest-bearing liabilities. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the use of cash flow hedges reduced the interest expense on the Federal Home Loan Bank advances by $644,000, compared to $1.5 million for 2024.
 
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $2.1 million, or 8.7%, to $22.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from $24.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to a 32 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 3.65% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from 3.97% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and a $3.9 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was due to the lower interest rate environment and a change in the composition of the deposit portfolio. The average balances of certificates of deposit decreased $15.6 million to $492.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from $508.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 while NOW and money market accounts and savings accounts increased $6.4 million and $5.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
 
Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings decreased $1.5 million, or 23.1%, from $6.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to $5.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $48.1 million to $127.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from $176.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.  The decrease was offset by an increase in the average cost of 22 basis points to 3.97% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from 3.76% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 due to maturity of low cost borrowings.  At December 31, 2025, cash flow hedges used to manage interest rate risk had a notional value of $85.0 million, while fair value hedges totaled $60.0 million in notional value.

Net interest income increased $4.9 million, or 46.6%, to $15.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from $10.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.  The increase reflected a 63 basis point increase in our net interest rate spread to 1.29% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from 0.66% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Our net interest margin increased 64 basis points to 1.80% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from 1.16% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
 
We recorded a $130,000 recovery of credit losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to a $148,000 recovery for credit losses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024 which reflected a decrease in the loan portfolio, as well as no charge-offs during the years. This recovery was inclusive of the effect due to the transfer of certain securities from the held to maturity portfolio to the available for sale portfolio, which resulted in a $108,000 recovery for credit losses for the 2024 period.
 
Non-interest income increased by $420,000, or 31.1%, primarily due to an increase in bank owned life insurance of $564,000, or 64.7%, due to collection of death proceeds in 2025 offset by a decrease of $96,000 in other income due to a net loss on the investment in a limited partnership.
 
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, non-interest expense increased $707,000, or 8.8%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Occupancy and equipment increased $1.2 million, or 82.7%, due to higher lease expense associated with the sale leaseback transaction that took place in December 2024. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $251,000, or 2.9%, due to a lower employee count when compared to 2024. Professional fees increased $265,000 or 33.5%, due to higher legal expense.  Data processing decreased $47,000, or 3.9%, due to lower processing costs. Other expense decreased $168,000, or 17.5%, due to lower miscellaneous expenses.
 
Income tax expense increased $353,000, to a benefit of $18,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from a benefit of $372,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in expense was due to $4.1 million, or 118.0%, of higher taxable income. The effective tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were (0.88%) and (14.62%), respectively.

 Balance Sheet Analysis
 
Total assets were $904.9 million at December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of $66.7 million, or 6.9%, from December 31, 2024.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $16.6 million during the period primarily due to purchases of securities available for sale. Net loans decreased $64.1 million, or 9.0%, due to $105.1 million in repayments, partially offset by new production of $41.0 million. This resulted in a $28.9 million decrease in the balance of residential loans, a $21.1 million decrease in construction loans, a $3.0 decrease in commercial and industrial loans and a decrease of $15.2 million in multi-family loans. These decreases were offset by a $4.0 million increase in commercial real estate loans.  Due to the interest rate environment, we have seen a decrease in demand for residential and construction loans, which have been primary drivers of our loan growth in recent periods.  Securities available for sale increased $17.8 million or 12.7%, due to the purchases of mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds. The Company also made a $2.5 million equity investment as part of a $10 million commitment to fund a limited partnership that invests in sale leaseback transactions. 
 
Delinquent loans increased $13.3 million to $27.6 million, or 3.1% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. The increase was mostly due to three commercial real estate loans with a balance of $13.7 million with no specific reserves needed. During the same timeframe, non-performing assets decreased to $13.1 million and were 1.5% of total assets at December 31, 2025No loans were charged-off during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.  The Company’s allowance for credit losses was 0.39% of total loans and 18.7% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2025 compared to 0.37% of total loans and 18.8% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2024.  At December 31, 2025, $10.9 million, or 83.2%, of the total non-performing loans consisted of one construction loan with a loan -to-value of 45%, which required no specific reserve. The Bank has limited exposure to commercial real estate loans secured by office space. 
 
Total liabilities decreased $70.3 million, or 8.4%, to $764.0 million mainly due to a $78.9 million decrease in borrowings offset by a $10.3 million increase in deposits.  Total deposits increased $10.3 million, or 1.6%, to $652.4 million at December 31, 2025 from $642.2 million at December 31, 2024.  The increase in deposits reflected an increase in certificate of deposit accounts, which increased by $11.0 million to $493.9 million from $482.9 million at December 31, 2024, an increase in NOW deposits of $10.5 million to $65.5 million at December 31, 2025 from $55.0 million at December 31, 2024 and an increase in savings accounts which increased by $7.6 million from $47.0 million at December 31, 2024 to $54.6 million at December 31, 2025. These increases were offset by a decrease in money market deposit accounts, which decreased by $14.3 million to $10.2 million from $24.6 million at December 31, 2024 and by a decrease in noninterest bearing demand accounts, which decreased by $4.5 million from $32.7 million at December 31, 2024 to $28.2 million at December 31, 2025.  At December 31, 2025, brokered deposits were $109.7 million or 16.8% of deposits and municipal deposits were $45.1 million or 6.9% of deposits.  At December 31, 2025, uninsured deposits represented 6.9% of the Bank’s total deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $78.9 million, or 45.8% due to the increase in deposits and the decrease in assets. Total borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank is $232.9 million, of which $93.3 million is advanced.
 
Total stockholders’ equity increased $3.6 million to $140.9 million at December 31, 2025, from $137.3 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was due to a reduction in the accumulated other comprehensive loss on the securities portfolio of $1.6 million and net income of $2.1 million, offset by the repurchase of 123,603 shares of stock at a total cost of $1.1 million. At December 31, 2025, the Company’s ratio of average stockholders’ equity-to-average total assets was 15.13%, compared to 14.10% at December 31, 2024.

Average Balance Sheets and Related Yields and Rates
 
The following tables present information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting annualized average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances have been calculated using daily balances. Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances only. Loan fees are included in interest income on loans and are not material.

Rate/Volume Analysis
 
The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. Changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.
