Arizona Tribune - BV Financial, Inc. Announces Financial Results

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial metric, was $3.9 million or $0.47 per diluted share and $3.7 or $0.37 per diluted share million for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and $7.1 million or $0.86 per diluted share and $6.7 million or $0.67 per diluted share for the year to date periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For a reconciliation of net income as reported and Non-GAAP adjusted net income, see the table below.

Additionally, management refers to another non-GAAP metric called Operating Pre-Provision Net revenue (OPPNR) to monitor the Company's financial results. This metric excludes the expense, or reversal of the expense for the provision for credit losses as well as changes in the effective tax rate. Since the adoption of ASC 326 (CECL) in January 2023, the provision line item on the income statement has been extremely volatile, making this metric more meaningful. OPPNR was $5.2 million or $0.63 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $5.4 million or $0.54 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2025. OPPNR was $10.1 million or $1.22 per diluted share in the six-months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $9.6 million or $0.97 per diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2025. For a reconciliation of net income as reported and Non-GAAP OPPNR, see the table below.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the Unites States ("GAAP"), this earnings release contains a non-GAAP financial measure, Non-GAAP adjusted net income. The Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain items and provide an alternative view of its performance over time. Non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total stockholders' equity or operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
