BayFirst Financial Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter 2022 Results;
Highlighted by Strong Conventional Loan Production
ST. PETERSBURG, FL. — January 26, 2023 — BayFirst Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: BAFN) (“BayFirst” or the “Company”), parent company of BayFirst National Bank (the “Bank”) today reported net income of $1.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2021, net income was $2.8 million, or $0.61 per diluted share.  Net income from continuing operations was $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $856 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2021. Quarterly financial results were highlighted by robust loan production in community banking, up 98% year over year, as well as strong SBA 7(a) loan production.
The decrease in earnings from continuing operations during the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the third quarter of 2022, was the result of lower gain on sale of SBA loans of $1.6 million and higher interest expense on deposits of $1.9 million, partially offset by higher loan interest income, including fees, of $1.0 million.
