Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Critical Accounting Estimates

Our accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. We consider accounting policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or discretion or to make significant assumptions that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL is an estimate of the expected credit losses for loans held for investment and for off-balance sheet exposures. ASC 326, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses," requires an immediate recognition of the credit losses expected to occur over the lifetime of a financial asset whether originated or purchased. Charge-offs are recorded to the ACL when management believes a loan is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL. Management believes the ACL is maintained in accordance with GAAP and in compliance with appropriate regulatory guidelines. The ACL includes quantitative estimates of losses for collectively and individually evaluated loans. The quantitative estimate for collectively evaluated loans (other than investor commercial real estate loans) is determined using the average charge-off method that utilizes historical losses for all Maryland banks with assets less than $1 billion beginning in March 2000. The investor

34

BV FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

commercial real estate portfolio utilizes the national loss history for banks with assets less than $1 billion over the same time period. Investor CRE loans are made nationwide, therefore, management deems it appropriate to utilize national loss rates when evaluating this portfolio. Adjustments are made to the historical loss factors under each scenario for economic conditions, portfolio concentrations, collateral values, the level and trend of delinquent and non-accrual loans and internal changes in staffing, loan policies and monitoring of the portfolio. Loans are selected for individual evaluation primarily based on their payment status and whether the loan has been placed on non-accrual status. Loans on non-accrual status include all loans greater than 90 days delinquent and other loans with weaknesses sufficient for management to place these loans on non-accrual status. The ACL is measured on a collective basis when similar risk factors exist as determined by internal loan coding and assignment to a portfolio segment. The Company utilizes reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions when estimating the ACL on loans. The model's calculation also uses an adjustment for a 12-month forecast period utilizing the most recent 12-month economic forecast from the Federal Reserve Board for national gross domestic product ("GDP") and the national unemployment rate. The model compares the average history of loss rates described above to the forecasted GDP and unemployment to determine the necessity and amount of any forward-looking adjustment. The establishment of the ACL is significantly affected by management's judgment and by economic and other uncertainties, and different amounts may be reported under different conditions or assumptions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Maryland Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the ACL for reasonableness and, as a result of such reviews, we may be required to increase our ACL or recognize loan charge-offs. The calculation of ACL excludes accrued interest receivable balances because these balances are reversed in a timely manner against previously recognized interest income when a loan is placed on non-accrual.

Goodwill

The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets from acquisitions, or goodwill, is evaluated for impairment at least annually and on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates it is likely impairment has occurred. Goodwill impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. In any given year, the Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is in excess of its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, or if the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, a quantitative impairment test is performed. In performing a quantitative test for impairment, the fair value of net assets is estimated based on analyses of the Company’s market value, discounted cash flows, and peer values. The determination of goodwill impairment is sensitive to market conditions and other key assumptions used in determining or allocating fair value. Variability in the market and changes in assumptions or subjective measurements used to estimate fair value are reasonably possible and may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations. Our annual goodwill impairment test is performed each year as of September 30. The Company performed its 2025 goodwill impairment qualitative assessment and determined its goodwill was not considered impaired.

Deferred Income Taxes

At March 31, 2026, we had a net deferred tax asset totaling $7.4 million. In accordance with ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” we use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If currently available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the am

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This discussion and analysis reflects the information contained in our consolidated financial statements and other relevant statistical data, and is intended to enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. The information at and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is derived in part from the audited consolidated financial statements that appear elsewhere in this annual report. You should read the information in this section in conjunction with the other business and financial information contained in this annual report, including the consolidated financial statements and related notes of BV Financial.

Overview

Summary of Financial Condition and Operating Results. At December 31, 2025, we had $912.2 million in consolidated assets, an increase of $392,000, or 0.04%, from $911.8 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was due primarily to a $19.2 million increase in net loans receivable to $748.5 million at December 31, 2025, partially offset by a $14.8 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $4.0 million decrease in securities available for sale. Total liabilities increased $12.1 million, or 1.7%, from $716.3 million at December 31, 2024 to $728.4 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in total deposits of $24.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in borrowings of $14.9 million.

Stockholders’ equity decreased $11.7 million or 6.0%, to $183.8 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to $30.0 million in stock repurchases, offset by $13.5 million of net income and $4.2 million in other adjustments, primarily equity compensation. During the year, the Company repurchased 1,823,997 shares of common stock at an average cost of $16.23.

Net income increased $1.8 million, or 15.1%, to $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due primarily to an increase of $3.0 million in interest income and an increase in the recovery of provision for credit losses of $2.2 million, offset by a $1.3 million increase in interest expense, a $1.7 million increase in non-interest expense, and a $700,000 increase in income tax expense.

Business Strategy

We have focused primarily on continuing and enhancing our community-oriented retail banking strategy. Highlights of our current business strategy include the following:

37

•
Pursue opportunistic acquisitions and partnerships. We intend to continue to prudently pursue opportunities to acquire banks that offer opportunities for solid financial returns. Our primary focus will be on franchises that enhance our funding profile, product capabilities or geographic density or footprint, while maintaining an acceptable risk profile. We believe in the need to make significant technological investments and the importance of scale in banking.

•
Grow our loan portfolio with an emphasis on commercial real estate and residential mortgage lending. While we intend to continue to focus on the origination of commercial real estate loans, we intend to remain a residential mortgage lender in our market area and maintain a balance between the commercial real estate and residential mortgage portfolios. We originated $52.8 million of commercial real estate and $32.9 million of residential mortgages loans during the year ended December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, $401.4 million, or 53.2%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of commercial real estate loans and $258.5 million, or 34.2%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of residential mortgages.

•
Manage credit risk to maintain a low level of non-performing assets. We believe that maintaining strong asset quality is paramount to our long-term success. We follow conservative underwriting guidelines with sound loan administration, and focus on originating loans secured by real estate. This includes enhanced loan monitoring of higher risk portfolio segments, higher risk individual loans and larger relationships within the portfolio, and frequent loan grade review. Our non-performing assets totaled $2.3 million, or 0.25% of total assets, at December 31, 2025. Our total non-performing loans to total loans ratio was 0.30% at December 31, 2025.

•
Increase core deposits with an emphasis on non-interest-bearing deposits. Deposits are our primary source of funds for lending and investment. Core deposits (which we define as all deposits except for time deposits) were 69.8% of total deposits at December 31, 2025. In particular, non-interest-bearing demand deposits were 20.5% of our total deposits at December 31, 2025. We continue to focus on expanding core deposits by leveraging our business development officers and commercial lending and retail relationships.

We intend to continue to pursue these business strategies, subject to changes necessitated by future market conditions, regulatory restrictions and other factors. While we are committed to the business strategies noted above, we recognize the challenges and uncertainties of the current environment and plan to execute these strategies as market conditions allow.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and 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 U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated 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.

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We have determined to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

The following represent our critical accounting policies:

Allowance for Credit Losses. The determination of our allowance for credit losses is considered a critical accounting estimate by management because of the high degree of judgment involved in determining qualitative loss factors, the subjectivity of the assumptions used, and the potential for changes in the forecasted economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation amount that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on our loan portfolio. The allowance is established through provisions for credit losses charged against income. When available information confirms that specific loans, or portions thereof, are uncollectible, these amounts are charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for credit losses is evaluated on a no less than a quarterly basis by

38

management. In evaluating the level of the allowance for credit losses, management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, management’s ongoing review and grading of loans, facts and issues related to specific loans, historical loan loss and delinquency experience, trends in past due and non-accrual loans, existing risk characteristics of specific loans or loan pools, the fair value of underlying collateral, current economic conditions and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect potential credit losses. See Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of our accounting policies and methodologies for establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Non-accrual, substandard, and other loans as determined by management have risk characteristics different from other loans in their portfolio segment are individually analyzed for potential uncollectable balances. Reserves on individually assessed loans are measured on a loan-by-loan basis using one of three acceptable methods: the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Determinations as to the need for a specific allowance are made after considering all relevant factors regarding the borrower, the collateral and economic conditions. Depending on this assessment, management may establish a specific allowance on the loan.

Goodwill. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets from acquisitions, or goodwill, is evaluated for impairment at least annually and on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates it is likely impairment has occurred. Goodwill impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. BV Financial may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is in excess of its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, or if BV Financial elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, a quantitative impairment test is performed. In performing a quantitative test for impairment, the fair value of net assets is estimated based on analyses of BV Financial’s market value, discounted cash flows, and peer values. The determination of goodwill impairment is sensitive to market-based economics and other key assumptions used in determining or allocating fair value. Variability in the market and changes in assumptions or subjective measurements used to estimate fair value are reasonably possible and may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

Our annual goodwill impairment test is performed each year as of September 30. BV Financial performed its 2025 annual goodwill impairment qualitative assessment and determined BV Financial’s goodwill was not considered impaired. We monitor our performance and evaluate our goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently as needed.

Deferred Income Taxes. At December 31, 2025, we had a net deferred tax asset totaling $7.6 million. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” we use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If currently available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established if it is not more likely than not realizable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets are inherently subjective and are reviewed on a regular basis as regulatory or business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance that results in additional income tax expense in the period in which it is recognized would negatively affect income. Management believes, based upon current facts, that it is more likely than not that there will be sufficient taxable income in future years to realize its federal and state deferred tax asset.

For more information on our critical accounting policies, see Note 1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024

Total Assets.

Total assets were $912.2 million at December 31, 2025, an increase of $392,000, or 0.04%, from $911.8 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was due primarily to a $19.2 million increase in net loans receivable to $748.5 million at December 31, 2025, offset by a $14.8 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, and a $4.0 million decrease in securities available for sale.

Cash and Cash Equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $14.8 million, or 21.0%, to $55.7 million at December 31, 2025 from $70.5 million at December 31, 2024 as excess cash was used to fund loans and repay the Company's subordinated debt.

Securities.

Securities available for sale (“AFS”) decreased $4.0 million, or 10.8%, to $33.2 million at December 31, 2025 from $37.3 million at December 31, 2024. Securities held to maturity ("HTM") decreased $243,000 or 4.1% to $5.7 million at December 31, 2025. The decreases were due to pay-downs and maturities.

Management monitors and manages the investment portfolio on a monthly basis and believes the risks inherent in the portfolio are acceptable. AFS securities are reviewed each quarter to determine whether a decline in the fair value of the securities is a result of a deterioration in credit quality. No reserve for credit losses has been recorded on AFS securities.

Gross unrealized losses on AFS securities at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The unrealized losses are the result of changes in interest rates since the securities were issued. The Company intends to, and has the ability to, hold investment securities with unrealized losses until they mature, at which time the Company expects to receive pay-offs in full for the security.

The AFS portfolio holds 91%, or $31.7 million, of its portfolio in securities issued by Government Sponsored Enterprises ("GSE") backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. The remainder of the portfolio consists of bonds issued by bank holding companies.

The HTM portfolio consists of $2.5 million in securities issued by GSEs and $3.2 million in securities issued by bank holding companies. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the securities in the HTM portfolio not issued by a GSE had an allowance for credit loss of $2,000 and $4,000, respectively.

No individual security in either the AFS or HTM portfolios issued by a non-GSE has a book value greater than $750,000.

Net Loans Receivable.

Net loans receivable increased $19.2 million, or 2.6%, to $748.5 million at December 31, 2025 from $729.2 million at December 31, 2024. Increases in 1-4 family owner occupied, construction loans and commercial loans offset decreases in owner occupied commercial real estate loans, commercial investor loans, non-owner occupied one- to four- family loans, farm loans, consumer loans and loans guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

Total Liabilities.

Total liabilities increased $12.1 million, or 1.7%, to $728.4 million at December 31, 2025 from $716.3 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in deposits of $24.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in borrowings of $14.9 million.

Deposits.

Total deposits increased $24.6 million, or 3.8%, to $676.1 million at December 31, 2025 from $651.5 million at December 31, 2024. Interest-bearing deposits increased $16.0 million, or 3.1%, to $537.7 million at December 31, 2025 from $521.8 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to the $14.0 million increase in certificates of deposit. Noninterest bearing deposits increased $8.6 million, or 6.7%, to $138.4 million at December 31, 2025 from $129.7 million at December 31, 2024.

41

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings.

The Company had $35.0 million of FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2025 compared to $15.0 million in FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2024. The increased borrowings from the FHLB replaced the $35.0 million in subordinated debt issued in 2020 and paid off in 2025.

Stockholders’ Equity.

Stockholders’ equity decreased $11.7 million or 6.0%, to $183.8 million at December 31, 2025 primarily due to $30.0 million in stock repurchases, offset by $13.5 million of net income and $4.2 million in other adjustments, primarily equity compensation. During the year, the Company repurchased 1,823,997 shares of common stock at an average cost of $16.23.

Average Balance Sheets

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the years 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 were included in the computation of average balances. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Net deferred loan fees totaled $2.2 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the years 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. There were no out-of-period items or adjustments required to be excluded from the table below.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024

General.

The Company reported net income of $13.5 million or $1.43 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to net income of $11.7 million or $1.09 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Interest Income.

Total interest income increased 3.0 million, or 6.48% for the year ended December 31, 2025 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Interest income on loans increased by $4.6 million or 11.2%. Higher yields on loans contributed $2.0 million to the increase while an increase in the average balance outstanding contributed $2.6 million to the increase.

Interest income on investment securities available-for-sale increased by $7,000 or 0.5% as the increase in yields on new purchases were offset by a decline in the average balance of AFS investments.

Interest income on investment securities held-to-maturity decreased $129,000 or 41.1%, primarily due to lower average balances in these securities.

Other interest income primarily consists of interest earned on overnight cash investments. Interest income in this category decreased by $1.4 million, or 35.7%, primarily due to lower average balances.

43

Interest Expense.

Total interest expense increased by $1.3 million or 11.4% to $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Both the increase in the average balance of deposits and borrowings and the cost of interest-bearing deposits drove the increase in total interest expense.

Interest paid on interest-bearing deposits increased by $1.7 million or 18.4% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Higher rates paid on deposits were influenced by, among other factors, intense competition for deposits in the Bank's market area, and a greater percentage of deposits consisting of higher-yielding certificates of deposit. Non-interest bearing deposits decreased in the year as customers took advantage of higher market interest rates to redeploy their excess cash into interest-bearing products.

Interest expense on advances from the FHLB increased by $277,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025 as the Bank utilized FHLB borrowings to replace the $35.0 million in subordinated debt issued in 2020.

Interest expense on subordinated debt decreased by $628,000, or 25.6%, during the year. The decrease was due primarily to the pay-off of $3.0 million in junior subordinated debt which included the write-off (increase in interest expense) of the remaining purchase accounting fair market value adjustment of $566,000 during 2024.

Net Interest Income.

Net interest income before the provision for credit losses was $36.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $35.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. The net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 4.35% compared to 4.27% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Provision for Credit Losses.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a credit of $2.4 million compared to a credit of $203,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the fourth quarter, based on a recommendation from a third-party validation report on the CECL model and methodology, the Company expanded the number of independent variables used in the forecast economic adjustment. The Company added the Federal Reserve’s forecast of the unemployment rate to the regression analysis that had previously used only the Federal Reserve’s forecast of GDP. This change resulted in a decrease in the required ACL-Loans in the fourth quarter of $945,000. The remaining decrease in the calculated required ACL-loans was primarily due to formula-driven qualitative factor adjustments for loan segment growth and asset quality.

The $2.4 million credit to the provision for credit losses consisted of a $2.2 million credit to the allowance for credit losses - loans, and a $2,000 credit to the allowance for credit losses - HTM securities and a $259,000 credit to the allowance for off balance sheet commitments. In the year ended December 31, 2025, net recoveries of previously charged-off loans totaled $83,000. These recoveries directly reduced the required amount of the allowance for credit losses-loans.

For the year ended December 31, 2025 noninterest expense totaled $23.2 million compared to $21.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Compensation and benefits increased by 15.9% due to a full year of costs of the equity awards granted after the stockholders approved the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan compared to four months of costs of the plan in 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025 expense related to this plan was $3.9 million as compared to $1.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Other operating expenses decreased by $507,000 or (20.7%) due to decreases in outside service fees, IT repairs and maintenance and miscellaneous loan expenses.

Income Tax Expense.

Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $5.4 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.5%. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $4.7 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.5%.

Management of Market Risk

General. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal goal of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee, which consists of members of senior management, is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by our board of directors. We currently utilize a third-party modeling program, prepared on a quarterly basis, to evaluate our sensitivity to changing interest rates, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.

We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:

1.
growing core deposit accounts;

2.
holding higher levels of cash and cash equivalents;

3.
continuing the diversification of our loan portfolio by adding more commercial-related loans, which typically have variable rates and shorter maturities; and

4.
purchasing short-term and adjustable rate securities.

By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to increases and decreases in market interest rates.

We have not engaged in hedging activities, such as engaging in futures or options, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage-backed securities.

Change in Net Interest Income. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net interest income model. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans

45

and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We estimate what our net interest income would be for a 12-month period. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under the assumptions that the United States Treasury yield curve increases instantaneously by up to 400 basis points or decreases instantaneously by up to 400 basis points, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below.

The table below sets forth, as of December 31, 2025, the calculation of the estimated changes in our net interest income that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

1.
Assumes an immediate uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

The tables above indicate that at December 31, 2025, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 4.12% increase in net interest income. In the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 8.66% decrease in net interest income.

The table above also illustrates that BV Financial’s net interest income is subject to significant decreases if interest rates were to decrease instantaneously by the amounts presented. This is due to a number of factors including:

1.
Short-term assets such as cash and cash equivalents will reprice immediately based on the Fed Funds target rate.

2.
The floating-rate securities in the available-for-sale portfolio will reprice lower with a short (quarterly) lag.

3.
Loans with variable interest rates will begin to reprice at rates lower than the current note rates.

4.
New assets (loans and investment securities) will be placed on the balance sheet at the lower current market interest rates.

5.
Our non-maturing deposits remain at historical low rates and with the level of rate decreases presented, the rates paid on these deposits could not be lowered by a similar amount.

6.
Our certificate of deposit liabilities will take time to reprice to lower market rates.

The increase in net interest income in the rising rate scenarios is less than the decrease in the falling rate scenario primarily due to the largest category of interest-earning assets, the loan portfolio, takes longer to reprice to the higher market rates than other assets and liabilities. A high level of new loan growth at higher market rates would be required to help offset the delay in the repricing of the current loan portfolio. The model also assumes that the non-maturing deposit portfolio will quickly reprice to a calculated percentage of the increase in market rates.

Economic Value of Equity. We also compute amounts by which the net present value of our assets and liabilities (economic value of equity or “EVE”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. This model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. The model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract under the assumptions that the United States Treasury yield curve increases instantaneously by 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point increments or a decrease instantaneously by 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. EVE as a measurement tool for interest rate risk measures the changes in the values of assets and liabilities based on the structure of the individual instrument (maturity, interest rate, re-pricing characteristic) when different levels of market interest rates are assumed.

The table below sets forth, as of December 31, 2025, the calculation of the estimated changes in our EVE that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

Assumes an immediate uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

The table above indicates that at December 31, 2025, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 5.41% increase in EVE, and in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience an 14.15% decrease in EVE. As indicated in the table above, our EVE falls considerably in the instantaneous down scenarios due to the value of the low or zero rate non-maturing deposit portfolio declining as the theoretical spread between the cost of these deposits and new assets declines. In the up scenarios, the value of these instruments increases less as the model assumes a significant lag before these rates increase.

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 manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net interest income and net economic value tables presented assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the tables provide 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, and actual results may differ. Furthermore, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In the event of changes in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables.

Interest rate risk calculations also may not reflect the fair values of financial instruments. For example, decreases in market interest rates can increase the fair values of our loans, deposits and borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. 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. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities and proceeds from maturities of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB of Atlanta. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $171.6 million and $157.5 million available under a line of credit with the FHLB of Atlanta, and had $35.0 million and $15 million outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, with the FHLB of Atlanta. In addition, at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had $29.0 million and $23.0 million in unfunded letters of credit used to secure municipal deposits outstanding against the line of credit with the FHLB of Atlanta.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including interest-bearing demand deposits. 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 $19.0 million and $16.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of investments in loans and securities, was $13.3 million and $32.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash provided by used in financing activities, consisting primarily of changes in deposits and advances and the repayment of advances to the FHLB, was $20.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to net cash provided of $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Time deposits that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from December 31, 2025 totaled $79.9 million. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize FHLB advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

Capital Resources. At December 31, 2025, BayVanguard Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements, and was categorized as well capitalized. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. At December 31, 2025, we had outstanding commitments to extend credit of $45.9 million and $832,000 of letters of credit. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of BV Financial for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 included with this document for a description of recent accounting pronouncements that may affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates, generally, have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than does inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
