First Seacoast Bancorp (FSEA) posts Q1 2026 loss with strong capital ratios
First Seacoast Bancorp, Inc. reported a small net loss for the quarter. Net loss was $508,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $603,000 a year earlier, and basic and diluted loss per share were $0.12 versus $0.14.
Total assets were $588.8 million and total loans were $418.4 million, with an allowance for credit losses on loans of $3.4 million.

The company generated positive operating cash flow and strong capital levels; the bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 14.72%, categorized as well capitalized. As of May 11, 2026, common shares outstanding were 4,691,674.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet To Be Adopted
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans.” ASU 2025-08 amends the guidance in ASC 326 on the accounting for certain purchased loans. Under the ASU, entities must account for acquired loans that meet certain criteria at acquisition (“purchased seasoned loans”) by recognizing the loan at its purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses (i.e., the gross-up approach). The ASU’s amendments align the accounting for purchased seasoned loans with the treatment of financial assets purchased with more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination (“PCD assets”). ASU 2025-08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 on a prospective basis. Retrospective application for all periods presented is permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on our disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes- Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which will require enhancements and further transparency to various income tax disclosures, most notably the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Retrospective application for all periods presented is permitted.

Management evaluates securities available-for-sale in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Consideration is given to (1) the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The Company estimates its allowance for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures ("ACL") as outlined in ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended ("ASU 2016-13" or “ASC 326”)." Under ASC 326, the ACL at each reporting period serves as a best estimate of projected credit losses over the contractual life of certain assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for expected prepayments, given an expectation of economic conditions and forecasts as of the valuation date. The ACL is the sum of various components including the following: (a) historical loss experience, (b) a reasonable and supportable forecasts, (c) loans evaluated individually, and (d) changes in relevant environmental factors. The historical loss component is segmented by loan type and serves as the core of the ACL adequacy methodology. The Company has selected the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity Model (“WARM”), for the loss calculation of each of its loan pools utilizing a third-party software application. The WARM uses a quarterly loss rate and future expectations of loan balances to calculate an ACL. A loss rate is applied to pool balances over time.
12
The application of ASC 326 may create volatility in the ACL, increasing or decreasing from period to period based on many factors, including, but not limited to: (i) macroeconomic forecasts and conditions; (ii) forecast period and reversion speed; (iii) prepayment speed assumption; (iv) loan portfolio volumes and changes in mix; (v) credit quality; and (vi) various qualitative factors outlined in ASU 2016-13.
The significant key assumptions used with the ACL calculation at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 using the ASC 326 methodology, included:
•Macroeconomic factors (loss drivers): Monitoring and assessing local and national unemployment, changes in national GDP and other macroeconomic factors which may be the most predictive indicator of losses within the loan portfolio. The macroeconomic factors considered in determining the ACL may change from time to time.
•Forecast Period and Reversion speed: ASU 2016-13 requires a company to use a reasonable and supportable forecast period in developing the ACL, which represents the time period that management believes it can reasonably forecast the identified loss drivers. Generally, the forecast period management believes to be reasonable and supportable will be set annually and validated through an assessment of economic leading indicators. In periods of greater volatility and uncertainty, such as the current interest rate environment, management will likely use a shorter forecast period, whereas when markets, economies, interest rate environment, political matters, and other factors are considered to be more stable and certain, a longer forecast period may be used. Also, in times of greater uncertainty, management may consider a range of possible forecasts and evaluate the probability of each scenario. Generally, the forecasted period is expected to range from one to three years. Once the reasonable and supportable forecast period is determined, ASU 2016-13 requires a company to revert its loss expectations to the long-run historical mean for the remainder of the contract life of the asset, adjusted for prepayments. In determining the length of time over which the reversion will take place (i.e. "reversion speed"), factors such as, historical credit loss experience over previous economic cycles, as well as where the Company believes it is within the current economic cycle, will be considered. The Company has chosen a forecast period of six quarters which will be similar to the historical loss period between January 2014 and December 2016 and then reverting to the long-term average over the following two quarters using the straight-line reversion method. The Company believes this historical forecast period to be representative of potential economic conditions over the next eighteen months.
•Prepayment speeds: Prepayment speeds are determined for each loan segment utilizing the Company's historical loan data, as well as consideration of current environmental factors. The prepayment speed assumption is utilized with the WARM method to forecast expected cash flows over the contractual life of the loan, adjusted for expected prepayments. A higher prepayment speed assumption will drive a lower ACL, and vice versa.
•Qualitative factors: ASU 2016-13 requires companies to consider various qualitative factors that may impact expected credit losses. The Company considers qualitative factors in determining and arriving at an ACL at each reporting period such as: (i) actual or expected changes in economic trends and conditions, (ii) changes in the value of underlying collateral for loans, (iii) changes to lending policies, underwriting standards and/or management personnel performing such functions, (iv) delinquency and other credit quality trends, (v) credit risk concentrations, if any, (vi) changes to the nature of the Company's business impacting the loan portfolio, (vii) and other external factors, that may include, but are not limited to, results of internal loan reviews and examinations by bank regulatory agencies.
Certain loans which may not share similar risk characteristics with other loans in the portfolio may be tested individually for estimated credit losses, including (i) loans classified as special mention, substandard or doubtful and are on non-accrual, (ii) a loan modified for a borrower experiencing financial difficulty or (iii) loans that have other unique characteristics. Factors considered in measuring the extent of the expected credit loss for these loans may include payment status, collateral value, borrower's financial condition, guarantor support and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

Changes in the ACL for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, by portfolio segment, are summarized as follows:

There were
There were no loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification, if applicable. The ACL incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon origination. Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty would already be included in the ACL as a result of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change in the ACL is generally not recorded upon modification.

Credit Quality Information
The Company utilizes a ten-grade internal loan rating system for its commercial real estate, multifamily, commercial and industrial, and acquisition, development, and land loans. Residential real estate, home equity line of credit and consumer loans are considered “pass” rated loans until they become delinquent. Once delinquent, loans can be rated an 8, 9 or 10 as applicable.
Loans rated 1 through 6: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.
Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.
Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.
Loans rated 9: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans rated 10: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted and should be charged off.
On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on its commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, multifamily and acquisition, development and land loans. On a periodic basis, the Company engages an independent third party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments and to assess the credit risk management practices of its commercial lending department. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process, adequacy of the ACL on loans and overall credit risk administration. Also, to reduce the level of credit administration on small commercial loan relationships, the Company has established a reduced credit administration process for commercial relationships less than $
On a quarterly basis, the Company formally reviews the ratings on its applicable residential real estate and home equity loans if they have become classified as non-accrual. Criteria used to determine ratings consist of loan-to-value ratios and days delinquent.

Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (“FRB”)

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unadvanced funds on loans and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
19
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but generally includes secured interests in mortgages.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee performance by a customer to a third-party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings will not be material to the consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statements of loss.
Notional amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk are approximately as follows as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The Company’s lease arrangements consist of operating and finance leases; however, the majority of the leases have been classified as non-cancellable operating leases and are primarily for real estate and equipment leases with remaining lease terms of up to
The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease based on whether a contract, or a part of a contract, conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The discount rate is either implicit in the lease or, when such a rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below). As of March 31, 2026, the most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank, as well capitalized under the regulatory framework, for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject, including the capital conservation buffer, at those dates.
The following table presents actual and required capital ratios as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 for the Bank under the Basel Committee on Banking Supervisions capital guidelines for U.S. banks (“Basel III Capital Rules”) as fully phased-in on January 1, 2019.

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. These derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities and are not reported on a net basis.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments or the receipt of fixed rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
On July 12, 2024, the Company entered into a two-year interest rate contract that was designated as fair value hedge utilizing a pay fixed interest rate swap to hedge a portion of its index-based brokered deposits included in savings deposits and its change in fair value attributable to the movement in the one-month SOFR. The carrying amount of the hedged liability located in “savings deposits" includes the savings account balance used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged items are the stated amount of liabilities anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedged period. The carrying amount of the savings deposit used in the hedged relationship was $
Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain pools of fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. The Company's interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for the Company receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. The hedging strategy effectively converts these fixed-rate assets to SOFR floating rate assets for the term of the swap starting on the effective date. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income.

In June 2023, the Company entered into a three-year $25 million notional amount interest rate contract that was designated as a fair value hedge utilizing a pay fixed interest rate swap to hedge a portion of the residential mortgage loan portfolio's change in fair value attributable to the movement in the one-month SOFR. On June 6, 2025, the Company terminated this pay fixed interest rate swap which resulted in a swap termination fee of $-

The carrying amount of the hedged asset located in “total loans” includes the amortized cost basis of closed portfolios of fixed-rate residential loans used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged items are the stated amount of assets anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedged period. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios of fixed-rate residential loans used in the hedging relationship was in excess of the carrying amount of the hedged asset. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the cumulative basis adjustments associated with this hedging relationship was $
The notional amounts of these agreements do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of potential loss exposure. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s fair value hedges had a remaining

Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Customer Loan Swaps
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain commercial banking customers. On May 19, 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a commercial loan borrower. The Company executes interest rate swaps with customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The interest rate swap contract with the commercial loan borrower allows them to convert floating-rate loan payments based on SOFR to fixed-rate loan payments. This interest rate swap is simultaneously hedged by an offsetting derivative that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivative and the offsetting derivative are recognized directly in earnings.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
By entering into derivative transactions, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the Company’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net positive fair value and accrued interest of all swaps with each counterparty. The Company seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, and other monitoring procedures. Institutional counterparties must have an investment grade credit rating and be approved by the Company’s board of directors. As such, management believes the risk of incurring credit losses on derivative contracts with institutional counterparties is remote. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company posted

Balance Sheet Offsetting
Certain financial instruments may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet and/or subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The Company’s derivative transactions with institutional counterparties are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) master agreements which include “right of set-off” provisions. In such cases there is generally a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. Generally, the Company does not offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.
The following tables present the information about derivative positions that are eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Determination of Fair Value
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from one level to another. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various assets and liabilities. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value of cash flows or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the observability and reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 - Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
For assets and liabilities, fair value is based upon the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and, therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented therein. A more detailed description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value is set forth below. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:
Securities Available-for-Sale: The Company’s investment in U.S. Government-sponsored entities bonds, U.S Government agency small business administration pools guaranteed by the SBA, collateralized mortgage obligations issued by the FHLMC, residential mortgage-backed securities and other municipal bonds is generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include reported trades, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash
32
flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.
Mortgage Servicing Rights: Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes interest rate, prepayment speed and default rate assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data (see Note 4, Loan Servicing, for more information). These assumptions are inherently sensitive to change as these unobservable inputs are not based on quoted prices in active markets or otherwise observable.
Derivative Instruments and Hedges: The valuation of these instruments is determined using the discounted cash flow method on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.
The following table summarizes financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights are the weighted-average prepayment rate, weighted-average discount rate, weighted average delinquency rate and weighted-average default rate. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Although the prepayment rate and the discount rate are not directly interrelated, they generally move in opposite directions of each other.
The Company estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. Observable and unobservable inputs are entered into this model as prescribed by an independent third party to arrive at an estimated fair value.
34
Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the reported periods may include certain individually evaluated loans reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral. Fair value is measured using appraised values of collateral and adjusted as necessary by management based on unobservable inputs for specific properties. However, the choice of observable data is subject to significant judgment, and there are often adjustments based on judgment in order to make observable data comparable and to consider the impact of time, the condition of properties, interest rates and other market factors on current values. Additionally, commercial real estate appraisals frequently involve discounting of projected cash flows, which relies inherently on unobservable data. Therefore, real estate collateral related nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments have generally been classified as Level 3.
Estimates of fair value used for other collateral supporting commercial loans generally are based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3. Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the reported periods also include loans held for sale. Residential mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and are therefore measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair values for loans held for sale are estimated based on commitments in effect from investors or prevailing market prices for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality and are included in Level 3. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were

ASC Topic 825,“Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. ASU 2016-01 requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The exit price notion is a market-based measurement of fair value that is represented by the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) on the measurement date. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, fair values of loans are estimated on an exit price basis incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors.

Our business consists primarily of taking deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings from the FHLB, in one- to four-family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate and multi-family loans, acquisition, development and land loans, commercial and industrial loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and consumer loans. In recent years, we have increased our focus, consistent with what we believe to be conservative underwriting standards, on originating higher yielding commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans.
We conduct our operations from four full-service banking offices in Strafford County, New Hampshire and one full-service banking office in Rockingham County, New Hampshire. We consider our primary lending market area to be Strafford and Rockingham Counties in New Hampshire and York County in Southern Maine.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.
Our critical accounting policies involve the calculation of the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") and the measurement of the fair value of financial instruments. A detailed description of these critical accounting policies can be found in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2026 (unaudited) and December 31, 2025
Total Assets. Total assets were $588.8 million as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of $10.5 million, or 1.8%, compared to total assets of $599.3 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was due primarily to a $1.1 million decrease in net loans and a $9.7 million decrease in securities available-for-sale.
Cash and Due From Banks. Cash and due from banks decreased $626,000, or 4.7%, to $12.8 million at March 31, 2026 from $13.4 million at December 31, 2025. This decrease primarily resulted from an $11.8 million decrease in total deposits offset by a $1.1 million decrease in net loans and a $9.7 million decrease in securities available-for-sale and a $1.2 million increase in mortgagors' tax escrow during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Available-for-Sale Securities. Available-for-sale securities decreased by $9.7 million, or 6.4%, to $142.7 million at March 31, 2026 from $152.4 million at December 31, 2025. This decrease was due primarily to a $1.0 million increase in net unrealized losses within the portfolio and proceeds from maturities and principal payments totaling $8.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Management believes that the unrealized losses within the portfolio are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in market interest rates and other market conditions, and therefore we recorded no allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities as of March 31, 2026.

Net Loans. Net loans decreased $1.1 million, or 0.3%, to $415.0 million at March 31, 2026 from $416.0 million at December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we collected $1.5 million of loan principal payments, net of loan originations, and purchased $297,000 of consumer loans secured by manufactured housing properties. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the portfolio of purchased loans had an outstanding principal balance of $38.3 million and $37.0 million, respectively, and such loans were performing in accordance with their original repayment terms.
One- to four-family residential mortgage loans decreased $2.4 million, or 0.9%, to $262.8 million at March 31, 2026 from $265.2 million at December 31, 2025. Commercial real estate mortgage loans increased $211,000, or 0.3%, to $80.8 million at March 31, 2026 from $80.6 million at December 31, 2025. Multi-family loans decreased $67,000, or 1.4%, to $4.8 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Commercial and industrial loans decreased $1.3 million, or 5.6%, to $21.3 million at March 31, 2026 from $22.5 million at December 31, 2025. Acquisition, development, and land loans increased $1.6 million, or 12.2%, to $14.4 million at March 31, 2026 from $12.9 million at December 31, 2025. Home equity loans and lines of credit increased $1.1 million, or 5.4%, to $21.8 million at March 31, 2026 from $20.7 million at December 31, 2025. Consumer loans decreased $222,000, or 1.7%, to $12.5 million at March 31, 2026 from $12.7 million at December 31, 2025.
Our strategy to grow the balance sheet continues to be through originations and, to a lesser extent, purchases of commercial loan participations, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and consumer loans secured by manufactured housing properties, while also diversifying into higher yielding commercial real estate mortgage loans and commercial and industrial loans, to improve net interest margin and manage interest rate risk. We also continue to sell selected, conforming 15-year and 30-year residential fixed rate mortgage loans to the secondary market on a servicing retained basis as market conditions allow, providing us a recurring source of revenue from loan servicing income and gains on the sale of such loans.
Our ACL on loans was $3.4 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 based upon ASU 2016-13 and its credit impairment standard for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities. The ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an ACL that are expected to occur over the remaining life of the asset, rather than incurred losses. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for loans held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accordingly, the ASU requires the use of forward-looking information to form credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied at prior reporting dates are still permitted, though the inputs to those techniques have changed to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. We have selected the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity Model (“WARM” or "CECL model"), for the loss calculation of each of our loan pools utilizing a third-party software application. The WARM uses a quarterly loss rate and future expectations of loan balances to calculate an ACL. A loss rate is applied to pool balances over time.
Deposits. Our deposits are generated primarily from residents within our primary market area. We offer a selection of deposit accounts, including non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts
39
and time deposits, for both individuals and businesses. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of uninsured total deposit balances, which is the portion exceeding the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit, was estimated not to exceed $110.0 million, or 24.0% of total deposits, and $107.7 million, or 22.9% of total deposits, respectively.
For customers requiring full FDIC insurance on certificates of deposit in excess of $250,000, we offer the CDARS® program, which allows us to place the certificates of deposit with other participating banks to maximize the customers’ FDIC insurance coverage. We receive a like amount of deposits from other participating financial institutions. In addition, we offer the ICS™ program, an insured deposit “sweep” program for demand deposits which is a product offered by IntraFi Network, LLC, which is also the provider of the CDARS® program. Similarly to the certificates of deposit’s discussed above, we receive a like amount of deposits from other financial institutions and all customer deposits are insured by the FDIC. These “reciprocal” CDARS® and ICS deposits are classified as “brokered” deposits in regulatory reports and "core" deposits in our consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2026 our “reciprocal” CDARS® and ICS deposits were $-0- and $11.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 2025, our “reciprocal” CDARS® and ICS deposits were $-0- and $9.1 million, respectively.
Deposits decreased $11.8 million to $459.0 million at March 31, 2026 from $470.8 million at December 31, 2025 primarily as a result of a $16.3 million decrease in retail deposits offset by a $4.5 million increase in commercial deposits. Core deposits (defined as deposits other than time deposits, including CDARS® and ICS deposits) increased $10.3 million, or 3.2%, to $329.1 million at March 31, 2026 from $318.8 million at December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, savings deposits decreased $180,000, money market deposits increased $3.4 million, NOW and demand deposits increased $7.1 million and time deposits decreased $22.0 million. There were $58.7 million and $69.1 million of brokered deposits included in time deposits at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and $21.9 million of brokered deposits included in savings deposits. The purchase of brokered deposits offered a lower cost alternative to advances of similar duration from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Deposits from related parties totaled $11.0 million and $10.9 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Borrowings. Total borrowings from the FHLB was $52.3 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Total Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity decreased $937,000, or 1.5%, to $62.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $63.5 million at December 31, 2025. This decrease was due primarily to a net loss of $508,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $715,000 other comprehensive loss related to net changes in unrealized holding losses in the available-for-sale securities portfolio as a result of decreases in market interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2026, partially offset by the recognition of $286,000 of previously unearned compensation.
Non-performing Assets. Non-performing assets include loans that are 90 or more days past due or on non-accrual status and real estate and other loan collateral acquired through foreclosure and repossession. Management determines that a loan is non-performing when it is probable at least a portion of the loan will not be collected in accordance with the original terms due to a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When a loan is determined to be non-performing, the measurement of the loan in the ACL is based on present value of expected future cash flows, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for non-performance based on the fair value of the collateral. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis.
We generally cease accruing interest on our loans when contractual payments of principal or interest have become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. Interest received on non-accrual loans generally is applied against principal or applied to interest on a cash basis. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for at least six consecutive months and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
Non-performing loans were $412,000 and $478,000 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026, non-performing loans consist of a residential mortgage loan and a consumer loan secured by a manufactured housing property. The non-performing residential mortgage loan with an outstanding balance of $295,000 was destroyed by a fire. Our outstanding residential mortgage loan balance is expected to be paid with insurance proceeds. The non-performing consumer loan secured by a manufactured housing property with an outstanding balance of $117,000 and an estimated market value of $140,000 is with a deceased borrower. The property is expected to be sold and outstanding balances paid. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no foreclosed assets.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025
Net Loss. Net loss was $508,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $603,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $95,000, or 15.8%. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in net interest and dividend income after release of credit losses of $343,000 and an increase in total non-interest income of $61,000 offset by an increase in income tax expense of $302,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
40
Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income increased $35,000, or 0.5%, to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was due to a $199,000 increase in interest and dividend income on investments offset by a $164,000 decrease in interest and fees on loans.
Average interest-earning assets increased $3.7 million, to $574.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $571.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The weighted average annualized yield on interest earning-assets decreased to 4.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 4.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The weighted average annualized yield for the loan portfolio increased to 4.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 4.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due primarily to an increase in market loan interest rates. The weighted average annualized yield for all other interest-earning assets decreased to 4.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 4.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due primarily to a decrease in market investment interest rates.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $300,000, or 9.2%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Interest expense on deposits decreased $255,000, or 9.8%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $992,000, or 0.3%, to $391.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $392.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily as a result of a decrease in the average balances of money market deposits, savings deposits and time deposits offset by an increase in the average balances of NOW and demand deposits. The weighted average annualized rate of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 2.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 2.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily as a result of a decrease in market interest rates.
Interest expense on borrowings decreased $45,000, or 6.9%, to $609,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $654,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average balance of borrowings decreased $3.2 million, or 5.6%, to $53.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $57.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The weighted average annualized rate of borrowings decreased to 4.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 4.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of a decrease in market interest rates.
Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased $335,000, or 10.5%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was due to an increase of $3.7 million, or 0.6%, in the average balance of interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of an increase in the average balance of taxable debt securities offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning loans, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and a $4.1 million, or 0.9%, decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of decreases in the average balances of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. Annualized net interest margin increased to 2.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 2.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due primarily to an increase in net interest income.
Release of Credit Losses. Based on management’s analysis of the ACL, an $(8,000) release of credit losses was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a $-0- release of credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The release of credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 consisted of $-0- provision for credit losses on loans and an $(8,000) release of credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures. The release of credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of $30,000 provision for credit losses on loans and a $(30,000) release of credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $61,000, or 17.4%, to $412,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $351,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in non-interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was due primarily to an increase in customer service fees.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $7,000, or 0.2%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $73,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $57,000 increase in occupancy expense offset by a $19,000 decrease in director compensation, a $28,000 decrease in employee travel and education expenses and a $55,000 decrease in professional fees and assessment. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due to normal salary increases.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $302,000 to an income tax expense of $273,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from an income tax benefit of $(29,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate was (116.2)% and 4.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Loss before income tax expense (benefit) was $(235,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $(632,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The income tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was greater than statutory federal and state rates due primarily to a $392,000 increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The income tax benefit and effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was less than statutory federal and state rates due primarily to a $120,000 increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net deferred tax assets of $7.1 million and $7.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, were reduced by a 100% valuation allowance because management believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit of these
41
deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. The valuation allowance for these net deferred tax assets may be adjusted in the future if estimates of taxable income during the carryforward period are increased.
42
Average Balance Sheets
The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs and certain other information at and for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans are included in the computation of average balances only. The yields set forth below include the effect of net deferred fee income, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Average loan balances exclude loans held for sale, if applicable. The following table includes no out-of-period items or adjustments.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. 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 total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of uninsured total deposit balances, which is the portion exceeding the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit, was an estimated value not exceeding $110.0 million, or 24.0% of total deposits, and $107.7 million, or 22.9% of total deposits, respectively. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from the sale of loans and proceeds from sales and maturities of securities. We also rely on borrowings from the FHLB and FRB as supplemental sources of funds. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $52.3 million outstanding in advances from the FHLB and the ability to borrow an additional $94.4 million and $96.6 million, respectively.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank had an overnight line of credit with the FHLB for up to $3.0 million. The Bank has a secured credit facility with the FRB – BIC Program. The Bank’s unused available borrowing capacity at the FRB was $37.3 million and $34.1 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Additionally, at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank had a $2.0 million unsecured Fed Funds borrowing line of credit with a correspondent bank. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding balances under any of these additional credit facilities.
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investment securities. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.
Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $547,000 and $573,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net cash provided (used) by investing activities, which consists primarily of loan principal collections, net of disbursements for loan originations, and proceeds from the sale, maturity and principal payments on securities available-for-sale, net of securities available-for-sale purchases, was $9.4 million and $(13.3) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net cash (used) provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances offset by treasury stock purchases, was $(10.6) million and $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position daily. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2026. Our current strategy is to increase core deposits and utilize FHLB advances, as well as brokered deposits, to fund loan growth.
First Seacoast Bancorp, Inc. is a separate legal entity from First Seacoast Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations and to fund repurchases of shares of common stock. The Company’s primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company is governed by applicable bank regulations. At March 31, 2026, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $16.5 million.
At March 31, 2026, First Seacoast Bank exceeded all its regulatory capital requirements. See Note 12 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements appearing under Item 1 of this quarterly report. Management is not aware of any conditions or events that would change First Seacoast Bank’s categorization as well-capitalized.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
General. Most of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage our exposure to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, the board of directors established a management-level Asset/Liability Management Committee (the “ALCO”), which takes responsibility for overseeing the asset/liability management process and related procedures. The ALCO meets on at least a quarterly basis and reviews asset/liability strategies, liquidity positions, alternative funding sources, interest rate risk measurement reports, capital levels and economic trends at both national and local levels. Our interest rate risk position is also monitored quarterly by the board of directors.
We manage our interest rate risk in an effort to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in market interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: originating loans with adjustable interest rates; promoting core deposit products; selling a portion of fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans; maintaining investments as available-for-sale; diversifying our loan portfolio; utilizing interest rate swaps; and strengthening our capital position. By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to changes in market interest rates.
Net Portfolio Value Simulation. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net portfolio value of equity (“NPV”) model. NPV represents the present value of the expected cash flows from our assets less the present value of the expected cash flows arising from our liabilities adjusted for the value of off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio represents the dollar amount of our NPV divided by the present value of our total assets for a given interest rate scenario. NPV attempts to quantify our economic value using a discounted cash flow methodology, while the NPV ratio reflects that value as a form of capital ratio. We estimate what our NPV would be at a specific date. We then calculate what the NPV would be at the same date throughout a series of interest rate scenarios representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. We currently calculate NPV under the assumptions that interest rates increase 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points from current market rates and that interest rates decrease 100, 200 and 300 basis points from current market rates. Note that as a standard, we discontinue sensitivity analysis for any environment that will cause Fed Funds to fall below 0%. These shock scenarios will be reinstituted at such time when the Fed Funds rate exceeds appropriate levels.
The following table presents the estimated changes in our net portfolio value that would result from changes in market interest rates as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the way actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The above table assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the date indicated remains constant uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our NPV and will differ from actual results.
The percent changes to NPV in the +200, +300 and +400 bp changes in interest rates was -20.5%, -31.5% and -42.3%, respectively, at March 31, 2026 versus policy limits of -20.0%, -30.0% and -40.0%, respectively. These percent changes were due primarily to the continued migration of deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2026 from less interest-sensitive products such as NOW and demand deposits to products with greater interest rate sensitivity, i.e., money market and time deposits. The percent changes to NPV in the +100, +200, +300 and +400 bp changes in interest rates was -10.2%, -22.8%, -34.9% and -46.6%, respectively, at December 31, 2025 versus policy limits of -10.0%, -20.0%, -30.0% and -40.0%, respectively. These percent changes were due primarily to the migration of deposits during 2025 and 2024 from less interest-sensitive products such as NOW and interest-bearing demand deposits to products with greater interest rate sensitivity, i.e., money market deposits and time deposits. We monitor our exposure to movements in interest rates regularly and discuss the implementation of strategies we believe will mitigate the negative impact of such movements.
Economic Value of Equity. Like most financial institutions, our profitability depends to a large extent upon our net interest income, which is the difference between our interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and our interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities adjusted for the value of off-balance sheet contracts, such as deposits and borrowed funds. Accordingly, our results of operations depend largely on movements in market interest rates and our ability to manage our interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities in response to these movements. Factors such as inflation and instability in financial markets, among other factors beyond our control, may affect interest rates.
In a rising interest rate environment, we would expect that the rates on our deposits and borrowings would reprice upwards faster than the rates on our long-term loans and investments, which would be expected to compress our interest rate spread and have a negative effect on our profitability. Furthermore, increases in interest rates may adversely affect the ability of our borrowers to make loan repayments on adjustable-rate loans, as the interest owed on such loans would increase as interest rates increase. Conversely, decreases in interest rates can result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance to reduce their borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk as we may have to redeploy such loan or securities proceeds into lower-yielding assets, which might also negatively impact our income. If interest rates rise, we expect that our economic value of equity will decrease. Economic value of equity represents the present value of the expected cash flows from our assets less the present value of the expected cash flows arising from our liabilities. The Company’s economic value of equity analysis as of March 31, 2026 estimated that, in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Company would experience a 20.5% decrease in economic value of equity which was above the policy limit of 20%. At the same date, our analysis estimated that, in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Company would experience a 9.9% increase in the economic value of equity.
Any substantial, unexpected, prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Changes in the level of interest rates also may negatively affect our ability to originate real estate loans, the value of our assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of our assets, all of which ultimately affect our earnings. Also, our interest rate risk modeling techniques and assumptions likely may not fully predict or capture the impact of actual interest rate changes on our balance sheet or projected operating results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of March 31, 2026, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026 for recording, processing, summarizing and reporting the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
The effectiveness of a system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Due to such inherent limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Periodically, we are involved in claims and lawsuits, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which we hold security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to our business. At March 31, 2026, we were not a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There were no repurchases of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2026. On April 11, 2024, the board of directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to 507,707 shares of common stock, representing approximately 10% of shares then outstanding, which became effective on May 14, 2024. On December 12, 2024, the board of directors of the Company authorized additional stock repurchases, up to 228,858 shares of common stock, under this stock repurchase program. The additional repurchase authorization represents approximately 5% of pro forma outstanding shares assuming the repurchase of the remaining shares subject to the original authorization. The Company conducts repurchases through open market purchases, including by means of a trading plan adopted under SEC Rule 10b5-1, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and other factors. There is no guarantee as to the number of shares that the Company may ultimately repurchase. The program will expire 12 months after the effective date, regardless of whether all shares will have been repurchased. On February 7, 2025, the expiration date of the program was extended to December 3, 2025. On September 19, 2025, the expiration date of the program was extended to June 3, 2026. The Company discontinued the program on April 22, 2026. The Company holds repurchased shares in its treasury. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has repurchased 494,379 shares under this stock repurchase program.
