The results for the fourth quarter of 2025 include unusual items with a net impact of $192 thousand after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share, primarily associated with severance expenses as well as costs incurred related to the discontinuation of a third-party credit card marketing campaign, partially offset by gains recognized on investment security sales.

Form S-1 and uplist costs of $1.1 million pre-tax for the year ended December 31, 2025 consist of the non-recurring legal, professional, and audit fees associated with the preparation of filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the registration of the Company’s shares of common stock and listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.  Severance expenses of $1.3 million pre-tax for the year ended December 31, 2025 include salaries, benefits, and stock compensation expenses tied to the reorganization of senior management. The Bank terminated an early generation third-party non-gaming credit card marketing agreement which resulted in credit card promotion expenses totaling $416 thousand pre-tax during the fourth quarter of 2025, and credit card promotion, fraud and credit expenses of $2.1 million pre-tax for the year ended December 31, 2025. All the transactions associated with this program were non-gaming transactions.

Edward M. Nigro, Chairman and CEO of the Company, stated, “Despite several one-time items, including reductions related to the SBA government shutdown, delays in our VISA Signature credit card growth, and delays in the BoltBetz/Pooled Player Account (PPA™) launch, we delivered strong year-over-year growth. SBA originations increased to a record $576.0 million, up from $501.9 million, while credit card transaction volume grew to $420.5 million from $73.8 million, and BoltBetz/PPA™ is now live. Looking ahead, we believe our ability to drive meaningful growth in 2026 and beyond will be fueled by our Gaming and Fintech investments, along with continued improvements to our core banking platform.”

Financial Results

Income Statement

Net interest income totaled $13.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting an increase of $457 thousand, or 3.5%, compared to $13.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, and an increase of $1.7 million, or 14.1%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

The increase in net interest income when compared to the third quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by higher average balances of interest earning assets partially offset by volume-driven increases in deposit interest expense, as the growth in earning assets was primarily funded by interest bearing demand and certificates of deposit growth. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities continued to trend downward from 4.02% during the third quarter of 2025 to 3.96% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

The increase in net interest income during the fourth quarter of 2025 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily volume driven, as higher interest income from growth in average loan and interest-bearing cash balances more than offset increases in interest expense resulting from higher average balances of interest-bearing deposits.

The yield on investment securities was 4.51% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 4.62% for the third quarter of 2025 and 4.74% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in the yield when compared to the previous quarter and the same quarter of 2024 was the result of a reduction in yield on certain variable rate securities due to lower long-term interest rates.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company sold $52.0 million of investment securities and realized a collective pre-tax gain on the sales of $426 thousand as part of a balance sheet repositioning to address asset-liability management objectives given the recent changes in the interest rate environment. The investment securities sold consisted of (i) available-for-sale securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $13.6 million, and (ii) the entire portfolio of held-to-maturity securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $38.4 million.

The Company’s net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 4.21%, compared to 4.35% for the third quarter of 2025 and 4.53% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in net interest margin during the fourth quarter of 2025 when compared to the previous quarter was attributable to the impact of a 25 basis point decrease in the target federal funds rate on the Company’s variable rate loan portfolio. The year-over-year decline in quarterly net interest margin reflects the impact of a cumulative 75 basis point reduction in the target federal funds rate on the Company’s variable-rate loan portfolio over the preceding twelve months.

The Company recorded a reversal (benefit) for credit losses on loans of $130 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $2.2 million of provision expense recorded during the third quarter of 2025, and $1.3 million of provision expense recorded during the fourth quarter of 2024. The benefit for credit losses on loans recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025 reflects adjustments to model inputs more reflective of historic losses experienced within the Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio.

Non-interest income was $7.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, and $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The $86 thousand increase in non-interest income during the fourth quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to net gains on sales of investment securities totaling $426 thousand as well as an increase in loan servicing income of $201 thousand due to a higher average balance of loans serviced by the Bank. These favorable variances were offset by a $600 thousand decrease in net interchange fees on credit cards due to a decrease in the volume of credit card transactions when compared to the prior quarter. The $1.5 million increase in non-interest income during the fourth quarter of 2025 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was driven by favorable increases in (i) credit card net interchange fees of $859 thousand as credit card transaction volume increased from $51.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 to $99.3 million for the same period in 2025, (ii) net gains on sales of investment securities of $426 thousand recorded during the fourth quarter of 2025, and (iii) a $366 thousand increase in loan servicing income.

Net revenue(1) totaled $20.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing an increase of $543 thousand, or 2.7%, compared to $20.2 million for the third quarter of 2025. Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $3.2 million, or 18.0%, when compared to $17.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Non-interest expense was $11.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $9.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in non-interest expense was due to the previous quarter reflecting higher expenses related to severance and the discontinued credit card program. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 55.3% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 61.1% for the third quarter of 2025 and 55.4% for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Income tax expense was $2.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2025, and $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 19.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and 23.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The fluctuations in the effective tax rate are largely driven by the timing and volume of certain stock-based compensation transactions resulting in tax benefits to the Company, as well as the timing and volume of state tax adjustments.

Net income was $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $3.1 million from $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2025, and an increase of $2.2 million from $5.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2024. Diluted earnings per share were $0.51 for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $0.30 for the third quarter of 2025 and $0.37 for the fourth quarter of 2024. Earnings per share and other share-based metrics have been impacted by the shares issued in the previously disclosed private placement of shares of the Company’s common stock completed in October 2024.

The Company had 184 full-time equivalent employees as of December 31, 2025, compared to 187 full-time equivalent employees as of September 30, 2025, and 169 full-time equivalent employees as of December 31, 2024.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased 4.5% to $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2025, from $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2025, and increased 21.1% from $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets from September 30, 2025 was driven by higher loan balances as well as an increase in other assets due to an increase in miscellaneous receivables for both (i) cash in-transit related to certain investment security sales occurring during the quarter totaling $10.2 million, and (ii) an increase in balances due from the SBA related to the workout of certain government guaranteed loans totaling $6.1 million. The increase in total assets from December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by increases in loans, interest bearing deposits with banks, loan servicing assets, and all other assets. Total assets under management, including $1.0 billion of sold loans for which servicing is retained, totaled $2.4 billion as of December 31, 2025.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, were $959.3 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $940.6 million as of September 30, 2025, and $816.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Loans, net of deferred fees and costs increased $18.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to increases in commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and consumer loans, specifically credit cards, and partially offset by decreases in multifamily and residential loans. The increase in loans, net of deferred fees and costs, of $143.3 million from December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by an increase of $125.8 million in commercial real estate loans. Total government guaranteed loans as a percentage of loans(1) were 19.2% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 20.6% as of September 30, 2025, and 24.7% as of December 31, 2024.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses totaled $9.9 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $10.6 million as of September 30, 2025, and $9.1 million as of December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.03% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 1.12% as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans, excluding government guaranteed portions(1), was 1.28% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 1.42% as of September 30, 2025, and 1.48% as of December 31, 2024.

Deposits totaled $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $50.5 million when compared to September 30, 2025, and an increase of $207.6 million from $935.1 million as of December 31, 2024. By deposit type, the increase from the prior quarter was driven by an increase of $49.5 million in certificates of deposit, $7.6 million in savings and money market accounts, and a $7.2 million increase in interest bearing demand deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $214.1 million as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of $13.8 million from $227.9 million as of September 30, 2025, and a decrease of $25.5 million from $239.7 million as of December 31, 2024.

The Company’s ratio of loans to deposits was 83.9% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 86.1% as of September 30, 2025, and 87.3% as of December 31, 2024.

The Company held short-term borrowings of $371 thousand as of December 31, 2025, compared to no short term borrowings held as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $484.5 million in available borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, and through its various fed funds lines of credit with its correspondent banks.

Subordinated notes outstanding totaled $26.2 million as of December 31, 2025 compared to $26.1 million as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Stockholders’ equity was $165.8 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $158.2 million as of September 30, 2025, and $140.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in stockholders’ equity when compared to both the prior quarter and the prior year is attributable to increases in retained earnings resulting from net income earned during each respective period.

The Company’s ratio of common equity to total assets was 12.19% as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, compared to 12.54% as of December 31, 2024. The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 13.4% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 13.7% as of September 30, 2025, and 12.9% as of December 31, 2024. The increase in the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio since December 31, 2024 was impacted by the downstream of $15.0 million in additional capital from the Company to the Bank during the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s book value per share was $11.52 as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 4.1% from $11.07 as of September 30, 2025, and an increase of 16.7% from $9.87 as of December 31, 2024.

Asset Quality

The Company recorded a reversal (benefit) for the provision for credit losses for loans of $130 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $2.2 million of provision expense recorded during the third quarter of 2025 and $1.3 million of provision expense recorded during the fourth quarter of 2024. Net loan charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $557 thousand, or 0.21% of average net loans (annualized), compared to net loan charge-offs of $836 thousand, or 0.35% of average net loans (annualized) in the third quarter of 2025 and $157 thousand of net loan charge-offs, or 0.07% of average net loans (annualized) during the fourth quarter of 2024. Net loan charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2025 were attributable to certain commercial real estate loans and credit card relationships.

Non-performing assets totaled $37.4 million as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of $80 thousand from $37.5 million as of September 30, 2025, and an increase of $23.2 million from $14.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The ratio of total non-performing assets to total assets was 2.75% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 2.88% as of September 30, 2025, and 1.26% as of December 31, 2024.

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, and prior to the filing of this press release, one non-performing loan totaling $3.6 million was paid to zero, effectively reducing the balance of non-performing assets to $33.8 million. Total non-performing assets, including the payoff occurring subsequent to year end, decreased $3.7 million quarter-over-quarter.

Our non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 2.75% as of December 31, 2025, however, this ratio includes government guaranteed balances in the balance of non-performing assets (numerator). Excluding the government guaranteed portion of non-performing assets, the ratio reflects a very manageable 0.92%(1) of total assets, further reduced to 0.86% of assets when considering the payoff occurring subsequent to year-end.

The Company continuously monitors its non-performing asset portfolio and believes the financial risk is related to these assets is well contained. In making this assessment, it is important to consider the process we undertake when a collateralized SBA non-performing asset requires collection efforts. We repurchase the sold portion of the government guaranteed loan to affect the foreclosure and resale of the property. This process immediately increases the non-performing asset balance on our balance sheet to include the government guaranteed portion – thus the importance of always adjusting for the government guaranteed portion of the non-performing assets as well as considering our “off balance sheet” assets consisting of the sold portion of USDA and SBA guaranteed loans of $1.0 billion that increase our total assets under management to $2.4 billion.

Other Financial and Operational Highlights

SBA Lending and Commercial Banking

SBA loan originations, and the subsequent sale of the government guaranteed portion of these loans, require SBA approval which could not be obtained during the federal government shut down in effect from October 1, 2025 to November 15, 2025.  Our originators advised that not only were SBA loan approvals paused, but due to many unknowns, a general business slow down occurred. Despite these challenges, our SBA lending and commercial banking teams worked diligently to originate loans totaling $126.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the record amount of loans originated during the third quarter of 2025 of $242.1 million. Notably, notwithstanding the government shutdown, fourth quarter 2025 loan originations exceeded fourth quarter 2024 loan originations of $120.0 million by $6.4 million.

While the fourth quarter has historically seen our largest loan sales of any quarter, such as last year, when fourth quarter 2024 loan sales increased 38% over third quarter 2024 activity, loan sale volume decreased 16.7% to $92.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $110.8 million for the third quarter of 2025, and $98.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, with the decrease largely driven by the federal government shutdown.

It is also important to note that our efforts to manage loan spreads to improve our pretax gain on sale of loans margin have begun to impact results. The average pretax gain on sale of loans margin was 3.93% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 3.24% for the third quarter of 2025. This improvement in pricing quarter-over-quarter more than offset the volume decrease in loan sales, resulting in a 0.9% increase in gain on sale of loans when compared to the third quarter of 2025. We anticipate a 4% average pretax gain on sale of loan margin going forward.

Gaming/Fintech

Credit Card

While we previously completed our new credit card application platform to improve applicant use, we further expanded and optimized integrations with Plaid, Experian, Neuro ID and Precise ID to better detect and mitigate customer application fraud. We are extremely pleased with the results as we have had zero fraud applications in last seventy-five days.We further determined that we must control full credit card and PPA™ payments at GBank as the originating depository financial institution or ODFI. This transition process has commenced and, upon completion, will provide the control and scalability to engage the large payment programs anticipated through our Gaming/Fintech agreements, particularly BoltBetz funding.

Following the sudden announcement by DraftKings that it was no longer accepting credit cards, our daily transactions initially declined then gradually recovered as card holders switched to apps that accept credit cards. Our card holders currently use over twenty sports apps. Further, our credit card is now being used as a funding method for the BoltBetz App. We are launching our targeted marketing approach for new credit card customers during the first quarter of 2026.

Other Gaming

The BoltBetz Prepaid Access/Slot program for Distill Taverns was approved by the Nevada Gaming Control Board on November 21, 2025. The approval acknowledged that GBank shall be holding and settling all player and Gaming Operator funds, and as such the Gaming Operator shall not be required to maintain certain regulatory reserves – a landmark event that concluded months of gaming agency evaluations. BoltBetz is live at the first Distill Tavern with eight more to follow. Further, preparations are underway to launch Terrible Gaming’s slot program early in the second quarter of 2026.

Subsequent Events

On January 14, 2026, the Company completed a private placement of $11.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2036 (the “2026 Notes”). The Company intends to utilize the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including refinancing existing indebtedness. The 2026 Notes were structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for GBank for regulatory capital purposes. The 2026 Notes initially bear a fixed interest rate of 7.25% until January 15, 2031, after which time and until maturity on January 15, 2036, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an annual floating rate equal to the Three-Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 382 basis points. The 2026 Notes are redeemable by the Company at its option, in whole or in part, on or after January 15, 2031. Any redemption will be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

On January 15, 2026, utilizing the proceeds from the 2026 Notes, the Company redeemed $6.5 million of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes originally issued December 30, 2020 (“the 2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes had a maturity date of January 15, 2031 and carried a fixed interest rate of 4.50% for the first five years through January 14, 2026. Thereafter, the 2020 Notes would have had a quarterly adjustable rate equal to the then-current three-month term SOFR as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus four hundred twenty-three (423) basis points.

Any forward-looking statements presented herein are made only as of the date of this press release, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in assumptions, new information, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.  All forward-looking statements, express or implied, included in the press release are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
