- Noninterest bearing (NIB) deposit balances grew by $18 million, an increase of 7% during the first quarter of 2025.
- During Q1, we completed the sale of two portfolios of residential mortgage loans totaling $18.1 million. Proceeds from these sales have been redeployed into higher-yielding Commercial banking loan relationships. These Residential portfolio sales are consistent with our strategy of contracting Residential loans while expanding the Commercial Bank loans and relationships.
Recent Developments
- In April 2025, Matt Tuohey joined CFBank as Market President for the Northeast Ohio region. Matt brings over 30 years of experience in commercial banking and executive leadership within the Northeast Ohio market. His strong connections will be valuable to building and expanding our presence in the market.

- On April 30, 2025, the Company entered into a new $10 million revolving line of credit with the same third-party bank that is the lender on its existing $35 million holding company credit facility. The revolving line of credit provides an additional $10 million of availability that could be drawn on to inject additional Tier 1 capital into the Bank if and when needed.
CEO and Board Chair Commentary
Timothy T. O'Dell, President and CEO, commented:
Q1 Performance Sets Base to Build Upon
"Q1 Net Income of $4.4 million, which included $600k of provision expense, represents a solid start to 2025, and we believe establishes a base to continue building upon. We are particularly pleased with our continuing positive trajectory of growing NIB deposits, which were up 7% during the quarter.
We expect additional opportunities to reduce our Cost Of Funds and Deposit costs moving forward, with expected Fed rate reductions providing further impetus.
Leaning Into Growing the Commercial Bank Franchise
Our Commercial Banking group produced over $50 million of net Loan growth during the first quarter, after overcoming considerable loan payoffs, mostly from successful Commercial Real Estate development Projects, moving to refinance at stabilization into Permanent loans. At this juncture in the new year, our Commercial business and loan pipelines continue to be very strong.
A key element of our business strategy, cited previously, of reducing lower rate Residential Mortgage portfolio loans to help with funding strengthening Commercial lending growth, produced the intended strategic results during Q1.
A more normalized upward sloping Interest rate Yield curve is anticipated to benefit Margins and Lending as we move forward. Our CF Team has done a nice job of implementing interest rate floors into some floating rate loans which may also help to sustain or support Margins.
Adding Top Talent Sets the Stage for Quality Growth
I am highly enthused by the caliber and interest level of experienced Commercial Bankers interested in joining CFBank mostly from Regional Banks. We believe through our conversations with them that they are attracted to our Entrepreneurial business approach along with lack of bureaucratic red tape. This talent influx we believe bodes well for future growth and expansion, along with our business objectives of expanding our Commercial Banking franchise, through increasing market share and added scale.
The previous as well as current successes with recruiting proven Revenue generating Commercial Banker Talent, is expanding appreciably our Commercial Banking Teams & presence in all 5 of the Regional Metro Markets which we serve.
Our Bests are Yet Ahead!"
Robert E. Hoeweler, Chairman of the Board, added: "Our CFBank Leadership and Team continues to demonstrate the ability to compete successfully and win vs. Regional Bank competitors."
Overview of Results
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $4.4 million (or $0.68 per diluted common share) compared to net income of $4.4 million (or $0.68 per diluted common share) for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and net income of $3.1 million (or $0.47 per diluted common share) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Pre-provision, pre-tax net revenue ("PPNR") for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $6.2 million compared to PPNR of $6.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and PPNR of $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income totaled $12.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and increased $376,000, or 3.0%, compared to $12.5 million for the prior quarter, and increased $1.6 million, or 14.4%, compared to $11.3 million for the first quarter of 2024.
The increase in net interest income compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a $1.2 million, or 6.7%, decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a $792,000 decrease in interest income. The decrease in interest expense when compared to the prior quarter was attributed to a 26bps decrease in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with a $14.1 million, or 0.9%, decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributed to a 19bps decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by an $8.0 million, or 0.4%, increase in average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin of 2.64% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 increased 7bps compared to the net interest margin of 2.57% for the prior quarter.
The increase in net interest income compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a $1.5 million, or 8.5%, decrease in interest expense, coupled with a $114,000, or 0.4%, increase in interest income. The decrease in interest expense was attributed to a 37bps decrease in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with a $6.4 million, or 0.4%, decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a $40.3 million, or 2.1%, increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding, partially offset by a 10bps decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets. The net interest margin of 2.64% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 increased 28bps compared to the net interest margin of 2.36% for the first quarter of 2024.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 totaled $1.2 million and decreased $240,000, or 16.6%, compared to $1.4 million for the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a $103,000 loss on the sale of a security, coupled with an $18,000 loss on the sale of commercial loans compared to a $79,000 gain in the prior quarter.
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 increased $301,000, or 33.3%, compared to $905,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $457,000 increase in other noninterest income and a $108,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 totaled $8.0 million and increased $521,000, or 7.0%, compared to $7.4 million for the prior quarter. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $628,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, partially offset by a $136,000 decrease in loan expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was impacted by a $234,000 increase in payroll taxes, which on a percentage basis is higher in the first quarter of the year.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 increased $767,000, or 10.7%, compared to $7.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $675,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $124,000 increase in professional fee expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily driven by higher expense accruals related to staff incentives and deferred compensation incentives in the first quarter of 2025 when compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (effective tax rate of 20.6%), compared to $748,000 for the prior quarter (effective tax rate of 14.5%) and $695,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (effective tax rate of 18.5%).
Loans and Loans Held For Sale
Net loans and leases totaled $1.8 billion at March 31, 2025 and increased $28.1 million, or 1.6%, from December 31, 2024. The increase in loans and leases balances was primarily due to a $47.7 million increase in commercial real estate loan balances, a $6.4 million increase in construction loan balances, and a $2.5 million increase in home equity lines of credit balances, partially offset by a $23.9 million decrease in single-family residential loan balances, and a $4.1 million decrease in commercial and industrial (C&I) loan balances. The decrease in single-family residential loan balances was due primarily to the sale of two portfolios of loans totaling $18.1 million.
