Insights

Bank accounting analyst

$25.9M non-cash goodwill impairment will hit GAAP earnings.

Broadway Financial plans to record a $25.9 million goodwill impairment in Q3 FY2025 after its Audit Committee determined goodwill was impaired under U.S. GAAP. Goodwill reflects past acquisitions; an impairment signals the accounting value of acquired assets now exceeds estimated fair value.

The charge is non-cash, so liquidity and regulatory capital effects depend on specific capital rules and components, which are not detailed here. The filing states the Company does not expect future cash outflows from this charge.

Investors can expect a GAAP net loss impact for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Actual capital and covenant implications, if any, would be clarified in subsequent periodic reports.
