Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation	Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under Delaware law in 1995 for the purpose of acquiring and holding all of the outstanding capital stock of Broadway Federal Savings and Loan Association as part of the bank’s conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings association to a federally chartered stock savings bank. In connection with the conversion, the bank’s name was changed to Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. (“Broadway Federal”). In 1996, the conversion was completed, and Broadway Federal became a wholly‑owned subsidiary of the Company. In 2021, the Company completed its merger with CFBanc Corporation, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity. Immediately following the CFBanc Merger, Broadway Federal merged with and into City First Bank of D.C, National Association with City First Bank of D.C., National Association (the “Bank”) continuing as the surviving entity (combined with Broadway Federal). Concurrently with the Merger, the Bank changed its name to City First Bank, National Association. The Bank’s business is that of a financial intermediary and consists primarily of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to make mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate located in the Bank’s market areas. At December 31, 2025, the Bank operated three retail‑banking offices: Los Angeles and in the nearby city of Inglewood in California, and another in Washington, D.C. The Bank is subject to significant competition from other financial institutions and is also subject to regulation by certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Broadway Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, City First Bank, National Association (together with the Company, “City First Broadway”). Also included in the consolidated financial statements are the following subsidiaries of City First Bank: 1432 U Street LLC, Broadway Service Corporation, City First Real Estate LLC, City First Real Estate II LLC, City First Real Estate III LLC, City First Real Estate IV LLC, and CF New Markets Advisors, LLC (“CFNMA”). In addition, CFNMA also consolidates CFC Fund Manager II, LLC; City First New Markets Fund II, LLC; and City First Capital IX, LLC into its financial results. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on total equity or net income for any period.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ from these estimates. The allowance and provision for credit losses, deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and fair values of investment securities and other financial instruments are particularly subject to change.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash items in the process of collection, amounts due from correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “Federal Reserve Bank”), and interest‑bearing deposits in other banks with initial terms of ninety days or less. The Company may be required to maintain reserve and clearing balances with the Federal Reserve Bank under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, as amended. Effective on March 26, 2020, as a part of Federal Reserve Bank’s tools to promote maximum employment, Federal Reserve Bank Board reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero. The reserve and clearing requirement balance were no longer required at December 31, 2025. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest‑bearing deposits in other banks, notes payable, deferred income taxes and other assets and liabilities. $103 thousand of cash and cash equivalents was restricted as of December 31, 2025.
Investment Securities	Investment Securities Debt securities are classified as held‑to‑maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available‑for‑sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available‑for‑sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level‑yield method without anticipating prepayments. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method. The Company accounts for the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 (“ASC 326”) – Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The ACL on securities is recorded at the time of purchase or acquisition, representing the Company’s best estimate of current expected credit losses (“CECL”) as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition. For available-for-sale investment securities, the Company performs a qualitative evaluation for those securities that are in an unrealized loss position to determine if the decline in fair value is credit related or non-credit related. In determining whether a security’s decline in fair value is credit related, the Company considers a number of factors including, but not limited to: (i) the extent to which the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost; (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (iii) any downgrades in credit ratings; (iv) the payment structure of the security; (v) the ability of the issuer of the security to make scheduled principal and interest payments; and (vi) general market conditions which reflect prospects for the economy as a whole, including interest rates and sector credit spreads. For investment securities where the Company has reason to believe the credit loss exposure is remote, a zero credit loss assumption is applied. Such investment securities typically consist of those guaranteed by the U.S. government or other government enterprises, where there is an explicit or implicit guarantee by the U.S. government, that are highly rated by rating agencies, and historically have had no credit loss experience. If it is determined that the unrealized loss, or a portion thereof, is credit related, the Company records the amount of credit loss through a charge to the provision for credit losses in current period earnings. However, the amount of credit loss recorded in current period earnings is limited to the amount of the total unrealized loss on the security, which is measured as the amount by which the security’s fair value is below its amortized cost. If the Company intends to sell a security that is in an unrealized loss position, or if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position, the total amount of the unrealized loss is recognized in current period earnings through the provision for credit losses. Unrealized losses deemed non-credit related are recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company analyzed available-for-sale investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position and determined the decline in fair value for those securities was not related to credit, but rather related to changes in interest rates and general market conditions. As such, no ACL was recorded for available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Loans Receivable Held for Investment	Loans Receivable Held for Investment Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of allowance for credit losses, deferred loan fees and costs and unamortized premiums and discounts. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs, premiums and discounts are deferred, and recognized in income using the level‑yield method without anticipating prepayments. Interest income on all loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well‑secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non‑accrual or charged‑off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non‑accrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash‑basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Concentrations of credit risk arise when several customers are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company’s lending activities are predominantly in real estate loans that are secured by properties located in Southern California and in Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas, and many of the borrowers reside in those areas. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy and real estate market in the markets in which the Company operates.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans	Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans The Company accounts for credit losses on loans in accordance with ASC 326, which requires the Company to record an estimate of expected lifetime credit losses for loans at the time of origination or acquisition. The ACL is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for expected credit losses in the portfolio as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition. Estimating expected credit losses requires management to use relevant forward-looking information, including the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts. The measurement of the ACL is performed by collectively evaluating loans with similar risk characteristics. The Company measures the ACL for each of its loan segments using the weighted-average remaining maturity (“WARM”) method. The weighted average remaining life, including the effect of estimated prepayments, is calculated for each loan pool on a quarterly basis. The Company then estimates a loss rate for each pool using both its own historical loss experience and the historical losses of a group of peer institutions during the period from 2004 through the most recent quarter. The Company’s ACL model also includes adjustments for qualitative factors, where appropriate. Since historical information (such as historical net losses) may not always, by itself, provide a sufficient basis for determining future expected credit losses, the Company periodically considers the need for qualitative adjustments to the ACL. Qualitative adjustments may include, but are not limited to factors such as: (i) changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collections, charge offs, and recovery practices; (ii) changes in international, national, regional, and local conditions; (iii) changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans; (iv) changes in the experience, depth, and ability of lending management; (v) changes in the volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions; (vi) changes in the quality of the organization’s loan review system; (vii) changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans; (viii) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the levels of such concentrations; and (ix) the effect of other external factors (i.e., competition, legal and regulatory requirements) on the level of estimated credit losses. The Company has a credit portfolio review process designed to detect problem loans. Problem loans are typically those of a substandard or worse internal risk grade, and may consist of loans on nonaccrual status, loans that have recently been modified in response to a borrower’s deteriorating financial condition, loans where the likelihood of foreclosure on underlying collateral has increased, collateral dependent loans, and other loans where concern or doubt over the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due has become elevated. Such loans may, in the opinion of management, be deemed to no longer possess risk characteristics similar to other loans in the loan portfolio, because the specific attributes and risks associated with the loan have likely become unique as the credit quality of the loan deteriorates. As such, these loans may require individual evaluation to determine an appropriate ACL for the loan. When a loan is individually evaluated, the Company typically measures the expected credit loss for the loan based on a discounted cash flow approach, unless the loan has been deemed collateral dependent. Collateral dependent loans are loans where the repayment of the loan is expected to come from the operation of and/or eventual liquidation of the underlying collateral. The ACL for collateral dependent loans is determined using estimates of the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated selling costs. The estimation of the appropriate level of the ACL requires significant judgment by management. Although management uses the best information available to make these estimates, future adjustments to the ACL may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions that may extend beyond the Company’s control. Changes in management’s estimates of forecasted net losses could materially change the level of the ACL. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ACL and credit review process. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the ACL based on judgments different from those of management. The Company has segmented the loan portfolio according to loans that share similar attributes and risk characteristics. Each segment possesses varying degrees of risk based on, among other things, the type of loan, the type of collateral, and the sensitivity of the borrower or industry to changes in external factors such as economic conditions. The Company determines the ACL for loans based on this more detailed loan segmentation and classification. These segments, and the risks associated with each segment, are as follows: Real Estate: Single-Family – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy leading to increased default rate, decreased market values from oversupply in a geographic area and incremental rate increases on adjustable-rate mortgages which may impact the ability of borrowers to maintain payments. Real Estate: Multi‑Family – Subject to adverse various market conditions that cause a decrease in market value or lease rates, changes in personal funding sources for tenants, oversupply of units in a specific region, population shifts and reputational risks. Real Estate: Commercial Real Estate – Subject to adverse conditions in the local economy which may lead to reduced cash flows due to vacancies and reduced rental rates and decreases in the value of underlying collateral. Real Estate: Church – Subject to adverse economic and employment conditions, which may lead to reduced cash flows from members’ donations and offerings, and the stability, quality, and popularity of church leadership. Real Estate: Construction – Subject to adverse conditions in the local economy, which may lead to reduced demand for new commercial, multi‑family, or single-family buildings or reduced lease or sale opportunities once the building is complete. Commercial – Subject to industry and economic conditions including decreases in product demand. Consumer – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to higher default rates. SBA – Subject to Federal legislation that can affect the funding and availability of the program.
Modified Loans to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty	Modified Loans to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty In certain instances, the Company makes modifications to loans in order to alleviate temporary difficulties in the borrower’s financial condition and/or constraints on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and to minimize potential losses to the Company. Modifications include: changes in the amortization terms of the loan, reductions in interest rates, acceptance of interest only payments, and reductions to the outstanding loan balance (or any combination of such changes). Such loans are typically placed on nonaccrual status when there is doubt concerning the full repayment of principal and interest or the loan has been in default for a period of 90 days or more. Such loans may be returned to accrual status when all contractual amounts past due have been brought current, and the borrower’s performance under the modified terms of the loan agreement and the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due under the modified terms is no longer in doubt. The Company typically measures the ACL on these loans on an individual basis as the loans are deemed to no longer have risk characteristics that are similar to other loans in the portfolio. The determination of the ACL for these loans is based on the remaining life approach, unless the loan is deemed collateral dependent, which requires measurement of the ACL based on the estimated expected fair value of the underlying collateral, less selling costs.
Derivatives	Derivatives At the inception of a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as one of three types based on the Company’s intentions and belief as to likely effectiveness as a hedge. These three types are (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment, (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability, or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“non-designated derivative”). The Company has designated its derivatives as non-designated derivatives. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated are currently reported in earnings, as non-interest income. The Company is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its payments under a contract in which the Company is in the net receiving position. The Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements. All of the contracts to which the Company is a party settle monthly. In addition, the Company obtains collateral above certain thresholds of the fair value of its derivatives for each dealer counterparty based upon their credit standing and the Company has netting agreements with the dealers with which it does business.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill is recorded upon completion of a business combination as the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30th, or more often if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate indicate there may be impairment. A goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. An impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. For goodwill considerations the Company is a single reporting unit. A weighted average of both the market and income approaches is used in valuing the reporting unit’s fair value. Weightings are assigned to the approaches regarding fair value and the sensitivity of other weighting scenarios is considered. The market approach incorporates comparable public company information, valuation multiples and consideration of a market control premium along with data related to comparable observed purchase transactions in the financial services industry. The income approach consists of discounting projected future cash flows, which are derived from internal forecasts and economic expectations for the reporting unit. The significant inputs and assumptions for the income approach include projected earnings of the Company in future years for which there is inherent uncertainty and the discount rate. The sensitivity of a range of reasonable discount rates based on the current economic environment is considered. The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to perform its annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2025. Based on the quantitative assessment, the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, resulting in a full impairment of goodwill. On October 15, 2025, management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, concluded that the Company’s goodwill was fully impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $25.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Core deposit intangible assets arising from mergers and acquisitions are amortized on an accelerated basis reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up. The estimated life of the core deposit intangible is approximately 10 years.
Office Properties and Equipment	Office Properties and Equipment Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight‑line method with useful lives ranging from 10 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated using the straight‑line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock	Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock The Bank is a member of the FHLB and FRB systems. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB and FRB stock are carried at cost, classified as restricted securities, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of their par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income when declared.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance	Bank‑Owned Life Insurance The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on key executives and officers. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.
Investment in Affordable Housing Limited Partnership	Investment in Affordable Housing Limited Partnership The Bank owns a less than 5% interest in an affordable housing limited partnership. The investment is recorded using the cost method and is being amortized over the life of the related tax credits. The tax credits are being recognized in income tax expense in the consolidated financial statements to the extent they are utilized on the Company’s income tax returns. The investment is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs that would trigger potential impairment.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments	Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments Financial instruments include off‑balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Variable Interest Entities ("VIE")	Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) An entity is considered to be a VIE when it does not have sufficient equity investment at risk, the equity investors as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or the entity is structured with disproportionate voting rights and substantially all of the entity’s activities are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights. The Company is required to consolidate a VIE when it holds a variable interest in the VIE and is also the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
Noncontrolling Interests	Noncontrolling Interests For consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly-owned, the third-party holdings of equity interests are referred to as noncontrolling interests. The portion of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for such subsidiaries is presented as net income applicable to noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, and the portion of the equity of such subsidiaries is presented as noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of financial condition and consolidated statements of changes in equity.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle of this standard requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. Most of our revenue‑generating transactions are not subject to ASC 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans and investment securities, as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within our disclosures. The Company’s revenue stream that is within the scope of Topic 606 is primarily service charges on deposit accounts, which consist of monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transaction based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock‑Based Compensation Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black‑Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight‑line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest related to income tax matters in interest expense and penalties related to tax matters in income tax expense.
Retirement Plans	Retirement Plans Employee 401(k) expense is the amount of matching contributions made by the Company.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)	Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt and accrued interest.
Earnings Per Common Share	Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed pursuant to the two‑class method by dividing net income available to common stockholders less dividends paid on participating securities (unvested shares of restricted common stock) and any undistributed earnings attributable to participating securities by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding includes the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding less the weighted average number of unvested shares of restricted common stock. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per share of common stock includes the dilutive effect of unvested stock awards. It also includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options using the treasury method.
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of the net income from operations and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available‑for‑sale, net of tax, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.
Loss Contingencies	Loss Contingencies Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable, and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe that any such matters existed as of the balance sheet date that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Leases	Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ROU assets represent the Company’s right-of-use of an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the Company’s leases. The ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. To determine the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair values are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 9 “Fair Value.” Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Operating Segments	Operating Segments The Company operates one reportable segment — banking. The Company’s chief executive officer is its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM assesses operating performance and manages the allocation of resources primarily based on the Company’s consolidated operating results and financial condition. The factors considered in making this determination include all of the banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Company, management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, and how information is reviewed by the chief executive officer and other key decision makers. The CODM uses consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors and to monitor budget to actual results. As a result, the Company determined that all services offered relate to banking. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses and payroll provide the significant expenses in the banking operation. See the Company’s operating segment information in the consolidated statements of financial condition and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Transfers and Servicing	Transfers and Servicing To be eligible for sale accounting treatment, an entire financial asset, such as a loan, cannot be divided into components prior to the sale unless all of the components meet the definition of a participating interest. A participating interest has all of the following characteristics: (a) it represents a proportionate ownership interest in the entire financial asset; (b) from the date of transfer, all cash flows received from the entire asset are divided proportionately among the participating interest holders in an amount equal to their ownership percentage; (c) the priority of cash flows must be pari passu and no participating interest holder has any recourse to the other holders; and (d) no party can pledge or exchange the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree. Transfers of financial assets (or participating interests in financial assets) are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. The Company evaluates its loan sales and other financial asset transfers for sales treatment. To the extent the transfer of assets (or participating interests in those assets) qualifies as a sale for accounting purposes, the Company derecognizes the asset and records the gain or loss on the sale date. In the event the Company determines that the transfer of assets does not qualify as a sale (or the portion of the asset sold does not qualify as a participating interest), the transfer is treated as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes until such date that the qualifications for sale accounting treatment are met.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued	Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued In November of 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-08 – Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. The amendments in this ASC expand the population of acquired financial assets subject to the “gross-up” approach in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326. In accordance with this ASC, loans (excluding credit card loans) acquired without evidence of credit deterioration since their origination that are deemed to be “seasoned” (as defined in the Codification) are determined to be “purchased seasoned loans” and are to be accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition. Prior to this ASU, for loans that were not determined to be purchased credit deteriorated loans, GAAP required that an allowance for credit losses be established for purchased loans through a provision for credit losses at the acquisition date. The gross-up approach allows an entity to record the acquisition-date allowance for credit losses for purchased seasoned loans through an offsetting addition to the amortized cost basis of the loan (rather than through the provision for credit losses). The ASU does not impact the accounting for loans that were acquired in periods prior to adoption of the ASU. The amendments in ASU 2025-08 will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2027; early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU will not affect the Company’s accounting for loans in its portfolio on the date of adoption; however, loans acquired after the adoption date will be accounted for in accordance with the provisions of this ASU. In December of 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 – Governments Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. Prior to the issuance of this ASU, GAAP did not provide authoritative guidance about the recognition, measurement, and presentation of a grant received by a business entity from a government. The amendments in this ASU establish the accounting for a government grant received by a business entity, including guidance for (1) a grant related to an asset and (2) a grant related to income. The newly issued guidance requires that a government grant received by a business entity should not be recognized until: (1) it is probable that a business entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and that the grant will be received; and (2) a business entity meets the recognition guidance for a grant related to an asset or a grant related to income. The ASU also prescribes requirements for the subsequent income recognition, presentation matters, and financial statement disclosures related to government grants. The guidance in this ASU will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The requirements in this ASU are similar to the guidance that the Company has been applying for accounting for government grants by analogy to guidance issued by other accounting standard setters and authoritative bodies. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will materially impact its financial condition or results of operations. In December of 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 – Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments in this guidance clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of ASC 270 by providing a comprehensive list of interim period disclosures that are required by GAAP. The updates in ASU 2025-11 also include a disclosure principal that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 will become effective for the Company for interim reporting periods beginning in the first quarter of 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, the required disclosures will be added to the Company’s interim financial statements issued after the effective date.

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under Delaware law in 1995 for the purpose of acquiring and holding all of the outstanding capital stock of Broadway Federal Savings and Loan Association as part of the bank’s conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings association to a federally chartered stock savings bank. In connection with the conversion, the bank’s name was changed to Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. (“Broadway Federal”). In 1996, the conversion was completed, and Broadway Federal became a wholly‑owned subsidiary of the Company.

In 2021, the Company completed its merger with CFBanc Corporation, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity. Immediately following the CFBanc Merger, Broadway Federal merged with and into City First Bank of D.C, National Association with City First Bank of D.C., National Association (the “Bank”) continuing as the surviving entity (combined with Broadway Federal). Concurrently with the Merger, the Bank changed its name to City First Bank, National Association.

The Bank’s business is that of a financial intermediary and consists primarily of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to make mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate located in the Bank’s market areas. At December 31, 2025, the Bank operated three retail‑banking offices: Los Angeles and in the nearby city of Inglewood in California, and another in Washington, D.C. The Bank is subject to significant competition from other financial institutions and is also subject to regulation by certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Broadway Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, City First Bank, National Association (together with the Company, “City First Broadway”). Also included in the consolidated financial statements are the following subsidiaries of City First Bank: 1432 U Street LLC, Broadway Service Corporation, City First Real Estate LLC, City First Real Estate II LLC, City First Real Estate III LLC, City First Real Estate IV LLC, and CF New Markets Advisors, LLC (“CFNMA”). In addition, CFNMA also consolidates CFC Fund Manager II, LLC; City First New Markets Fund II, LLC; and City First Capital IX, LLC into its financial results. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on total equity or net income for any period.

Use of Estimates

To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ from these estimates. The allowance and provision for credit losses, deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and fair values of investment securities and other financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash items in the process of collection, amounts due from correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “Federal Reserve Bank”), and interest‑bearing deposits in other banks with initial terms of ninety days or less. The Company may be required to maintain reserve and clearing balances with the Federal Reserve Bank under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, as amended. Effective on March 26, 2020, as a part of Federal Reserve Bank’s tools to promote maximum employment, Federal Reserve Bank Board reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero. The reserve and clearing requirement balance were no longer required at December 31, 2025. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest‑bearing deposits in other banks, notes payable, deferred income taxes and other assets and liabilities. $103 thousand of cash and cash equivalents was restricted as of December 31, 2025.

Investment Securities

Debt securities are classified as held‑to‑maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available‑for‑sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available‑for‑sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level‑yield method without anticipating prepayments. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

The Company accounts for the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 (“ASC 326”) – Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The ACL on securities is recorded at the time of purchase or acquisition, representing the Company’s best estimate of current expected credit losses (“CECL”) as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition.

For available-for-sale investment securities, the Company performs a qualitative evaluation for those securities that are in an unrealized loss position to determine if the decline in fair value is credit related or non-credit related. In determining whether a security’s decline in fair value is credit related, the Company considers a number of factors including, but not limited to: (i) the extent to which the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost; (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (iii) any downgrades in credit ratings; (iv) the payment structure of the security; (v) the ability of the issuer of the security to make scheduled principal and interest payments; and (vi) general market conditions which reflect prospects for the economy as a whole, including interest rates and sector credit spreads. For investment securities where the Company has reason to believe the credit loss exposure is remote, a zero credit loss assumption is applied. Such investment securities typically consist of those guaranteed by the U.S. government or other government enterprises, where there is an explicit or implicit guarantee by the U.S. government, that are highly rated by rating agencies, and historically have had no credit loss experience.

If it is determined that the unrealized loss, or a portion thereof, is credit related, the Company records the amount of credit loss through a charge to the provision for credit losses in current period earnings. However, the amount of credit loss recorded in current period earnings is limited to the amount of the total unrealized loss on the security, which is measured as the amount by which the security’s fair value is below its amortized cost. If the Company intends to sell a security that is in an unrealized loss position, or if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position, the total amount of the unrealized loss is recognized in current period earnings through the provision for credit losses. Unrealized losses deemed non-credit related are recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company analyzed available-for-sale investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position and determined the decline in fair value for those securities was not related to credit, but rather related to changes in interest rates and general market conditions. As such, no ACL was recorded for available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Loans Receivable Held for Investment

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of allowance for credit losses, deferred loan fees and costs and unamortized premiums and discounts. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs, premiums and discounts are deferred, and recognized in income using the level‑yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on all loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well‑secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non‑accrual or charged‑off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non‑accrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash‑basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when several customers are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company’s lending activities are predominantly in real estate loans that are secured by properties located in Southern California and in Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas, and many of the borrowers reside in those areas. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy and real estate market in the markets in which the Company operates.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The Company accounts for credit losses on loans in accordance with ASC 326, which requires the Company to record an estimate of expected lifetime credit losses for loans at the time of origination or acquisition. The ACL is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for expected credit losses in the portfolio as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition. Estimating expected credit losses requires management to use relevant forward-looking information, including the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts. The measurement of the ACL is performed by collectively evaluating loans with similar risk characteristics. The Company measures the ACL for each of its loan segments using the weighted-average remaining maturity (“WARM”) method. The weighted average remaining life, including the effect of estimated prepayments, is calculated for each loan pool on a quarterly basis. The Company then estimates a loss rate for each pool using both its own historical loss experience and the historical losses of a group of peer institutions during the period from 2004 through the most recent quarter.

The Company’s ACL model also includes adjustments for qualitative factors, where appropriate. Since historical information (such as historical net losses) may not always, by itself, provide a sufficient basis for determining future expected credit losses, the Company periodically considers the need for qualitative adjustments to the ACL. Qualitative adjustments may include, but are not limited to factors such as: (i) changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collections, charge offs, and recovery practices; (ii) changes in international, national, regional, and local conditions; (iii) changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans; (iv) changes in the experience, depth, and ability of lending management; (v) changes in the volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions; (vi) changes in the quality of the organization’s loan review system; (vii) changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans; (viii) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the levels of such concentrations; and (ix) the effect of other external factors (i.e., competition, legal and regulatory requirements) on the level of estimated credit losses.

The Company has a credit portfolio review process designed to detect problem loans. Problem loans are typically those of a substandard or worse internal risk grade, and may consist of loans on nonaccrual status, loans that have recently been modified in response to a borrower’s deteriorating financial condition, loans where the likelihood of foreclosure on underlying collateral has increased, collateral dependent loans, and other loans where concern or doubt over the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due has become elevated. Such loans may, in the opinion of management, be deemed to no longer possess risk characteristics similar to other loans in the loan portfolio, because the specific attributes and risks associated with the loan have likely become unique as the credit quality of the loan deteriorates. As such, these loans may require individual evaluation to determine an appropriate ACL for the loan. When a loan is individually evaluated, the Company typically measures the expected credit loss for the loan based on a discounted cash flow approach, unless the loan has been deemed collateral dependent. Collateral dependent loans are loans where the repayment of the loan is expected to come from the operation of and/or eventual liquidation of the underlying collateral. The ACL for collateral dependent loans is determined using estimates of the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated selling costs.

The estimation of the appropriate level of the ACL requires significant judgment by management. Although management uses the best information available to make these estimates, future adjustments to the ACL may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions that may extend beyond the Company’s control. Changes in management’s estimates of forecasted net losses could materially change the level of the ACL. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ACL and credit review process. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the ACL based on judgments different from those of management.

The Company has segmented the loan portfolio according to loans that share similar attributes and risk characteristics. Each segment possesses varying degrees of risk based on, among other things, the type of loan, the type of collateral, and the sensitivity of the borrower or industry to changes in external factors such as economic conditions. The Company determines the ACL for loans based on this more detailed loan segmentation and classification. These segments, and the risks associated with each segment, are as follows:

Real Estate: Single-Family – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy leading to increased default rate, decreased market values from oversupply in a geographic area and incremental rate increases on adjustable-rate mortgages which may impact the ability of borrowers to maintain payments.

Real Estate: Multi‑Family – Subject to adverse various market conditions that cause a decrease in market value or lease rates, changes in personal funding sources for tenants, oversupply of units in a specific region, population shifts and reputational risks.

Real Estate: Commercial Real Estate – Subject to adverse conditions in the local economy which may lead to reduced cash flows due to vacancies and reduced rental rates and decreases in the value of underlying collateral.

Real Estate: Church – Subject to adverse economic and employment conditions, which may lead to reduced cash flows from members’ donations and offerings, and the stability, quality, and popularity of church leadership.

Real Estate: Construction – Subject to adverse conditions in the local economy, which may lead to reduced demand for new commercial, multi‑family, or single-family buildings or reduced lease or sale opportunities once the building is complete.

Commercial – Subject to industry and economic conditions including decreases in product demand.

Consumer – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to higher default rates.

SBA – Subject to Federal legislation that can affect the funding and availability of the program.

Modified Loans to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

In certain instances, the Company makes modifications to loans in order to alleviate temporary difficulties in the borrower’s financial condition and/or constraints on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and to minimize potential losses to the Company. Modifications include: changes in the amortization terms of the loan, reductions in interest rates, acceptance of interest only payments, and reductions to the outstanding loan balance (or any combination of such changes). Such loans are typically placed on nonaccrual status when there is doubt concerning the full repayment of principal and interest or the loan has been in default for a period of 90 days or more. Such loans may be returned to accrual status when all contractual amounts past due have been brought current, and the borrower’s performance under the modified terms of the loan agreement and the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due under the modified terms is no longer in doubt. The Company typically measures the ACL on these loans on an individual basis as the loans are deemed to no longer have risk characteristics that are similar to other loans in the portfolio. The determination of the ACL for these loans is based on the remaining life approach, unless the loan is deemed collateral dependent, which requires measurement of the ACL based on the estimated expected fair value of the underlying collateral, less selling costs.

Derivatives

At the inception of a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as one of three types based on the Company’s intentions and belief as to likely effectiveness as a hedge. These three types are (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment, (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability, or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“non-designated derivative”). The Company has designated its derivatives as non-designated derivatives. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated are currently reported in earnings, as non-interest income.

The Company is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its payments under a contract in which the Company is in the net receiving position. The Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements. All of the contracts to which the Company is a party settle monthly. In addition, the Company obtains collateral above certain thresholds of the fair value of its derivatives for each dealer counterparty based upon their credit standing and the Company has netting agreements with the dealers with which it does business.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is recorded upon completion of a business combination as the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30th, or more often if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate indicate there may be impairment. A goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. An impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. For goodwill considerations the Company is a single reporting unit. A weighted average of both the market and income approaches is used in valuing the reporting unit’s fair value. Weightings are assigned to the approaches regarding fair value and the sensitivity of other weighting scenarios is considered. The market approach incorporates comparable public company information, valuation multiples and consideration of a market control premium along with data related to comparable observed purchase transactions in the financial services industry. The income approach consists of discounting projected future cash flows, which are derived from internal forecasts and economic expectations for the reporting unit. The significant inputs and assumptions for the income approach include projected earnings of the Company in future years for which there is inherent uncertainty and the discount rate. The sensitivity of a range of reasonable discount rates based on the current economic environment is considered.

The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to perform its annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2025. Based on the quantitative assessment, the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, resulting in a full impairment of goodwill. On October 15, 2025, management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, concluded that the Company’s goodwill was fully impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $25.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Core deposit intangible assets arising from mergers and acquisitions are amortized on an accelerated basis reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up. The estimated life of the core deposit intangible is approximately 10 years.

Office Properties and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight‑line method with useful lives ranging from 10 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated using the straight‑line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock

The Bank is a member of the FHLB and FRB systems. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB and FRB stock are carried at cost, classified as restricted securities, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of their par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income when declared.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

Bank‑Owned Life Insurance

The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on key executives and officers. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Investment in Affordable Housing Limited Partnership

The Bank owns a less than 5% interest in an affordable housing limited partnership. The investment is recorded using the cost method and is being amortized over the life of the related tax credits. The tax credits are being recognized in income tax expense in the consolidated financial statements to the extent they are utilized on the Company’s income tax returns. The investment is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs that would trigger potential impairment.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include off‑balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Variable Interest Entities ("VIE")

Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)

An entity is considered to be a VIE when it does not have sufficient equity investment at risk, the equity investors as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or the entity is structured with disproportionate voting rights and substantially all of the entity’s activities are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights. The Company is required to consolidate a VIE when it holds a variable interest in the VIE and is also the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

Noncontrolling Interests

For consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly-owned, the third-party holdings of equity interests are referred to as noncontrolling interests. The portion of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for such subsidiaries is presented as net income applicable to noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, and the portion of the equity of such subsidiaries is presented as noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of financial condition and consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Revenue Recognition

ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle of this standard requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. Most of our revenue‑generating transactions are not subject to ASC 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans and investment securities, as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within our disclosures. The Company’s revenue stream that is within the scope of Topic 606 is primarily service charges on deposit accounts, which consist of monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transaction based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock‑Based Compensation

Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black‑Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards.

Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight‑line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest related to income tax matters in interest expense and penalties related to tax matters in income tax expense.

Retirement Plans

Employee 401(k) expense is the amount of matching contributions made by the Company.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt and accrued interest.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed pursuant to the two‑class method by dividing net income available to common stockholders less dividends paid on participating securities (unvested shares of restricted common stock) and any undistributed earnings attributable to participating securities by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding includes the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding less the weighted average number of unvested shares of restricted common stock. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per share of common stock includes the dilutive effect of unvested stock awards. It also includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options using the treasury method.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of the net income from operations and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available‑for‑sale, net of tax, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable, and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe that any such matters existed as of the balance sheet date that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ROU assets represent the Company’s right-of-use of an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the Company’s leases. The ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. To determine the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Fair values are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 9 “Fair Value.” Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments

The Company operates one reportable segment — banking. The Company’s chief executive officer is its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM assesses operating performance and manages the allocation of resources primarily based on the Company’s consolidated operating results and financial condition. The factors considered in making this determination include all of the banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Company, management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, and how information is reviewed by the chief executive officer and other key decision makers. The CODM uses consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors and to monitor budget to actual results. As a result, the Company determined that all services offered relate to banking. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses and payroll provide the significant expenses in the banking operation. See the Company’s operating segment information in the consolidated statements of financial condition and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Transfers and Servicing

To be eligible for sale accounting treatment, an entire financial asset, such as a loan, cannot be divided into components prior to the sale unless all of the components meet the definition of a participating interest. A participating interest has all of the following characteristics: (a) it represents a proportionate ownership interest in the entire financial asset; (b) from the date of transfer, all cash flows received from the entire asset are divided proportionately among the participating interest holders in an amount equal to their ownership percentage; (c) the priority of cash flows must be pari passu and no participating interest holder has any recourse to the other holders; and (d) no party can pledge or exchange the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree.

Transfers of financial assets (or participating interests in financial assets) are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. The Company evaluates its loan sales and other financial asset transfers for sales treatment.

To the extent the transfer of assets (or participating interests in those assets) qualifies as a sale for accounting purposes, the Company derecognizes the asset and records the gain or loss on the sale date. In the event the Company determines that the transfer of assets does not qualify as a sale (or the portion of the asset sold does not qualify as a participating interest), the transfer is treated as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes until such date that the qualifications for sale accounting treatment are met.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued

In November of 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-08 – Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. The amendments in this ASC expand the population of acquired financial assets subject to the “gross-up” approach in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326. In accordance with this ASC, loans (excluding credit card loans) acquired without evidence of credit deterioration since their origination that are deemed to be “seasoned” (as defined in the Codification) are determined to be “purchased seasoned loans” and are to be accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition. Prior to this ASU, for loans that were not determined to be purchased credit deteriorated loans, GAAP required that an allowance for credit losses be established for purchased loans through a provision for credit losses at the acquisition date. The gross-up approach allows an entity to record the acquisition-date allowance for credit losses for purchased seasoned loans through an offsetting addition to the amortized cost basis of the loan (rather than through the provision for credit losses). The ASU does not impact the accounting for loans that were acquired in periods prior to adoption of the ASU. The amendments in ASU 2025-08 will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2027; early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU will not affect the Company’s accounting for loans in its portfolio on the date of adoption; however, loans acquired after the adoption date will be accounted for in accordance with the provisions of this ASU.

In December of 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 – Governments Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. Prior to the issuance of this ASU, GAAP did not provide authoritative guidance about the recognition, measurement, and presentation of a grant received by a business entity from a government. The amendments in this ASU establish the accounting for a government grant received by a business entity, including guidance for (1) a grant related to an asset and (2) a grant related to income. The newly issued guidance requires that a government grant received by a business entity should not be recognized until: (1) it is probable that a business entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and that the grant will be received; and (2) a business entity meets the recognition guidance for a grant related to an asset or a grant related to income. The ASU also prescribes requirements for the subsequent income recognition, presentation matters, and financial statement disclosures related to government grants. The guidance in this ASU will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The requirements in this ASU are similar to the guidance that the Company has been applying for accounting for government grants by analogy to guidance issued by other accounting standard setters and authoritative bodies. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will materially impact its financial condition or results of operations.

In December of 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 – Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments in this guidance clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of ASC 270 by providing a comprehensive list of interim period disclosures that are required by GAAP. The updates in ASU 2025-11 also include a disclosure principal that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 will become effective for the Company for interim reporting periods beginning in the first quarter of 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, the required disclosures will be added to the Company’s interim financial statements issued after the effective date.
