BayFirst Financial Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results;
Highlighted by Improved Operating Efficiencies and Lower Net Charge-Offs
ST. PETERSBURG, FL. — July 25, 2024 — BayFirst Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: BAFN) (“BayFirst” or the “Company”), parent company of BayFirst National Bank (the “Bank”) today reported net income of $0.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 5.1% compared to $0.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2024. Net income increased due to higher net interest income and lower provision for credit losses and compensation expense, partially offset by lower gain on sale of government guaranteed loans resulting from a decrease in balance of loans sold.
“We are pleased with the improvement in credit administration during the second quarter which resulted in a $1.1 million decrease in our provision for credit losses from the previous quarter,” stated Thomas G. Zernick, Chief Executive Officer. "As we stated in the past, the SBA 7(a) working capital loans we offer often provide resources to small businesses struggling with economic factors like high inflation. Similar to other SBA lenders, we expanded our portfolio management efforts in the second quarter to help borrowers who continue to make timely payments by offering loan modification options. These efforts helped reduce net charge-offs during the quarter."
“Our CreditBench team worked hard to produce almost $100 million in new government guaranteed loans during the second quarter. However, this volume was below both the first quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2023. With less loan balances sold in the market, our gains from the sale of government guaranteed loans were below the prior quarter and our expectations. Our team is focused on meeting loan origination targets in line with past performance, while also promoting acceptable credit and profitability metrics.”
“Furthermore, earlier in the year we opened our twelfth banking center, completing our near-term branch expansion plans. At the same time, we have been successful at reducing operating expenses by leveraging technology investments to reduce headcount and related incentive compensation, renegotiating key vendor contracts, and reducing other expenses while successfully growing the franchise. These reductions helped reduce noninterest expense in the second quarter by $1.2 million, and we expect those savings to increase in future quarters. We believe we have both the infrastructure and banking teams in place to efficiently grow and gain market share in our attractive Tampa Bay market.”
“Finally, a highlight of the second quarter was the launch of a strategic focus around Healthcare Banking for BayFirst, under the leadership of Phil Russo. Phil is an industry veteran and native to the Tampa Bay region and will lead a team to develop the Bank’s efforts to meet the lending and deposit needs of healthcare businesses across our Tampa Bay footprint,” concluded Zernick.
Second Quarter 2024 Performance Review

Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income was $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in net income for the second quarter of 2024 from the preceding quarter was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of $0.4 million, a decrease in provision for credit losses of $1.1 million and a decrease in noninterest expense of $1.2 million partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income of $2.6 million. The decrease in net income from the second quarter of 2023 was due to decreases in net interest income of $0.9 million and gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase in other noninterest income of $0.4 million and lower compensation expense of $0.6 million.
In the first six months of 2024, net income was $1.7 million, a decrease from $2.1 million for the first six months of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower net interest income of $1.2 million, higher provision for credit losses of $2.4 million and higher noninterest expense of $2.6 million, partially offset by higher gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $3.2 million and higher government guaranteed loan packaging fees of $1.5 million.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income from continuing operations was $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, an increase from $8.7 million during the first quarter of 2024, and a decrease from $10.1 million during the second quarter of 2023. The net interest margin increased by 1 basis point to 3.43% in the second quarter of 2024, from 3.42% in the first quarter of 2024.
The increase during the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the first quarter of 2024, was mainly due to an increase in loan interest income, including fees, of $1.2 million partially offset by higher interest costs on deposits of $0.2 million and borrowings of $0.6 million.
The decrease during the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the year ago quarter, was mainly due to higher interest expense on deposits of $3.4 million, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $2.6 million.
Net interest income from continuing operations was $17.9 million in the first six months of 2024, a decrease from $19.2 million in the first six months of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to an increase in interest expense on deposits of $8.6 million, partially offset by an increase in loan interest income, including fees, of $8.2 million.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income from continuing operations was $11.7 million for the second quarter of 2024, which was a decrease from $14.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 and an increase from $10.9 million in the second quarter of

2023. The decrease in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the first quarter of 2024, was primarily the result of a decrease in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $2.5 million as a result of selling $48.8 million less in loan balances during the quarter. The increase in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the second quarter of 2023, was the result of increases in fair value gains on government guaranteed loans of $0.3 million, government guaranteed loan packaging fees of $0.2 million, and other noninterest income of $0.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $0.4 million.
Noninterest income from continuing operations was $25.9 million for the first six months of 2024, which was an increase from $20.4 million for the first six months of 2023. The increase was primarily the result of increases in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans of $3.2 million and government guaranteed loan packaging fees of $1.5 million.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense from continuing operations was $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $16.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the prior quarter, was primarily due to decreases in compensation expense of $1.1 million and professional services expense of $0.5 million. The increase in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the second quarter of 2023, was primarily due to higher loan production expenses of $0.7 million, data processing expenses of $0.3 million, and other noninterest expense of $0.2 million, partially offset by lower compensation costs of $0.6 million and marketing and business development expenses of $0.6 million. The overall reduction of noninterest expense compared to the first quarter is attributed to the lower headcount on the Bolt lending team where we are leveraging technology in place of staff, combined with restructured incentive plans, and savings from renegotiated vendor contracts. These changes will provide ongoing expense savings.
Noninterest expense from continuing operations was $34.4 million for the first six months of 2024 compared to $31.8 million for the first six months of 2023. The increase was the result of increases in data processing expense of $0.5 million, loan origination and collection expense of $1.0 million, professional services expenses of $0.5 million, and other noninterest expenses of $0.6 million. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in marketing and business development expenses of $0.6 million.
