BayFirst Financial restates 2024-2025 results after finding prior-period misstatements
  • BayFirst disclosed material misstatements tied to legacy SBA 7(a) loans, triggering restatements for 2024, 2025, and the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
  • Errors included USD 2.8 million of deferred origination costs and USD 2.1 million of accrued interest tied to loans previously in default or nonaccrual.
  • Later review found another USD 3.4 million of deferred origination costs that should have reduced net gain on sale of government-guaranteed loans in 2024-2025.
  • Amended 10-K and 10-Q filings were submitted this week; management cited ongoing remediation to strengthen internal controls.
  • Company said exiting the SBA 7(a) lending business should prevent a recurrence of the errors.
