Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared to conform with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policy discussed below to be our critical accounting policy. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We consider the following accounting policies to be our critical accounting policies:
Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Management evaluates the appropriateness of the ACL on loans quarterly. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change from period to period.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. A reversion methodology is applied beyond the reasonable and supportable forecasts. Qualitative adjustments are then considered for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics, such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors, that may include, but are not limited to, results of internal loan reviews, examinations by bank regulatory agencies, or other such events such as a natural disaster. The ACL on loans represents our estimated risk of loss within its loan portfolio as of the reporting date. To appropriately measure expected credit losses, management disaggregates the loan portfolio into pools of similar risk characteristics.
Management may also adjust its assumptions to account for differences between expected and actual losses from period-to-period. The variability of management’s assumptions could alter the ACL on loans materially and impact future results of operations and financial condition. The loss estimation models and methods used to determine the ACL are continually refined and enhanced.
Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into commitments to extend credit, including commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded as loans when they are funded. We estimate expected credit losses over the contractual period in which we are exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by us. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through credit loss expense. To appropriately measure expected credit losses, management disaggregates the off-balance sheet credit exposures into similar risk characteristics, identical to those determined for the loan portfolio. An estimated funding rate is then applied to the qualifying unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit using historical information or industry benchmarks provided by a reputable and independent source, to estimate the expected funded amount for each loan segment as of the reporting date. Once the expected funded amount for each loan segment is determined, the loss rate, which is the calculated expected loan loss as a percent of the amortized cost basis for each loan segment, is applied to calculate the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures as of the reporting date.
Securities Valuation and Allowance for Credit Loss. Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and recorded at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as “available for sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. For available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available for sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Changes in the ACL are recorded as credit loss expense (or reversal). Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available for sale debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Management measures expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities on an individual basis by major security types that share similar risk characteristics, which may include, but is not limited to, credit ratings, financial asset type, collateral type, size, effective interest rate, term, geographical location, industry, and vintage. Management classifies the held to maturity portfolio into the following major security types: subordinated debt and corporate bonds. We invest in subordinated debt issued only by financial institutions.
The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Given the rarity of subordinated debt and corporate bond defaults and losses, we utilize external third-party financial analysis models as the sole source of default and loss rates. Management may exercise discretion to make adjustments based on various qualitative factors. Changes in the ACL are recorded as credit loss expense (or reversal). A held to maturity debt security is written-off in the period in which a determination is made that all or a portion of the financial asset is uncollectible. Any previously recorded allowance, if any, is reversed and then the amortized cost basis is written down to the amount deemed to be collectible, if any.
Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability (or balance sheet) method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments may require us to make projections of future taxable income and/or to carryback to taxable income in prior years. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.
Goodwill. Goodwill is recognized when the fair value of consideration transferred in an acquisition is greater than the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is evaluated on at least an annual basis for potential impairment, and more often if circumstances warrant more frequent evaluations. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value. Significant judgment and assumptions are utilized by management in the impairment analysis. Avidia Bank was created by a merger between Hudson Savings Bank and The Westborough Savings Bank in 2007. Goodwill of $11.9 million resulting from the merger is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. Impairment of goodwill is recognized in earnings. As of March 31, 2026, no impairment has been recognized.
Mortgage Servicing Rights. Servicing rights are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through sale of financial assets and recorded at fair value. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Changes in fair value are reported in mortgage banking income.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025
Summary. Total assets were $2.81 billion at March 31, 2026, decreasing during the first quarter of 2026 by $30 million, or 1%, primarily due to the use of lower yielding short term investments to reduce higher cost borrowings.
Total Cash and Cash Equivalents. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $52 million, or 36%, to $93 million during the quarter due primarily to a $56 million decrease in short-term investments to $74 million. This reflected continued utilization of proceeds from the 2025 common stock offering to reduce FHLB borrowings and reinvest into securities and bank owned life insurance.
Total Securities. Total securities increased $27 million, or 9%, to $309 million during the quarter due primarily to a $27 million increase in securities available for sale to $296 million due to continued purchases of mortgage-backed securities and deployment of available cash.
Total Loans. Total loans decreased $14 million, or 1%, to $2.28 billion during the quarter, primarily due to a $9 million decrease in condominium association loans and seasonally lower construction loans, which decreased $10 million. Loan exposure related to non-medical office space at March 31, 2026 was $89 million or 4% of gross loans, including $71 million on non-owner-occupied properties.
Asset Quality. Nonaccruing loans decreased by $6.6 million to $13.6 million during the first quarter of 2026, measuring 0.60% of total loans at period-end due primarily to the successful workout of nonaccruing construction loans. Net loan charge-offs during the quarter were $116 thousand, or 0.02% of total loans.
The allowance for credit losses increased to $22.8 million at March 31, 2026, from $22.0 million at year-end 2025. The period-end ratio of the allowance to total loans measured 1.00% and the ratio to nonaccrual loans measured 167%.
Total Deposits. Deposits increased by $18 million, or 1%, to $2.15 billion at March 31, 2026, from $2.13 billion at year-end 2025. NOW account balances decreased by $37 million primarily due to fluctuations related to payment processing services and IOLTA accounts. All other deposit account categories increased, growing by 4% in aggregate due to the Company’s business activities during the quarter.
Borrowings. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $55 million, or 21%, to $205 million due primarily to the availability of cash on hand to reduce higher cost borrowings.
Total Shareholders’ Equity. Shareholders’ equity increased by $5 million, or 1%, to $384 million at period-end from $379 million at year-end 2025, primarily due to the benefit of first quarter net income of $6 million. Shareholders' equity to total assets was 13.7% as of March 31, 2026, and the non-GAAP measure of tangible equity to tangible assets was 13.3%.
Average Balances and Yields. The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. Yields on tax-exempt securities have not been computed on a tax-equivalent basis, as the effects are immaterial. Average balances are calculated using daily average balances. Non-accrual loans are included in average balances only. Average yields include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Deferred loan fees are immaterial. Loan balances include loans held for sale.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025
Net Income/Loss. First quarter net income was $6.0 million in 2026 compared to a net loss of $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2025. The 2025 net loss was due to a $17.6 million credit loss expense primarily reflecting a charge-off related to one commercial loan. Excluding credit loss expense, pre-tax income increased year-over-year to $9.3 million from $1.1 million, primarily due to a $4.8 million increase in net interest income and a $2.8 million reduction in non-interest expense. The efficiency ratio improved year-over-year to 67.2% from 95.2%. In the most recent quarter, return on assets measured 0.86%, return on equity was 6.4%, and the non-GAAP measure of return on tangible common equity was 6.6%. Earnings per share in this period totaled $0.32.
Net Interest Income. First quarter net interest income increased year-over-year by $4.8 million, or 25%, to $24.0 million in 2026. Average interest-earning assets increased 5%, with the primary drivers being loans and short-term investments. The net interest margin increased 57 basis points year-over-year to 3.61% from 3.04%. This was primarily due to the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 1.93% from 2.30%, primarily reflecting reductions in higher cost certificates of deposit and borrowings. Funding levels and costs fell due to the $185 million, or 94%, increase in average equity following the initial public offering of stock on July 31, 2025. Stock offering proceeds funded both earning asset growth and reductions in higher cost funding sources. Results also benefited from ongoing business operations, which included an $87 million year-over-year increase in average lower cost transaction account deposits (consisting of NOW deposits and noninterest-bearing demand deposits). Additionally, loan production contributed to a 21 basis point year-over-year increase in the loan yield to 5.37% in the most recent quarter.
Credit Loss Expense. Based on management’s analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, a first quarter credit loss expense of $1.1 million was recorded in 2026 and $17.6 million was recorded in 2025. The expense in 2025 was due to a construction and land loan charge-off, as previously disclosed.
Non-Interest Income. First quarter non-interest income increased year-over-year by $559 thousand, or 15%, to $4.3 million in 2026 due to a $541 thousand securities loss recorded in 2025 related to the Company’s exit from equity investment securities. A $247 thousand increase in mortgage banking income in 2026 was offset by a $283 thousand decrease in payment processing income.
Non-Interest Expense. First quarter non-interest expense decreased year-over-year by $2.8 million, or 13%, to $19.0 million in 2026, with decreases in most expense categories. Salary and employee benefits expense decreased by $1.4 million due primarily to expenses recorded in 2025 related to the termination of the long-term incentive program and adjustments to short-term incentive expense. Data processing expense decreased $488 thousand as online platform development costs were incurred in 2025. Payment processing expense decreased $676 thousand primarily due to the impact of lower activity and the sale of the direct merchant portfolio. Professional fees increased $447 thousand primarily due to the engagement in 2026 of a third-party to help implement a process improvement program.
Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded $2.2 million for income tax expense in the first quarter of 2026, resulting in a 27% effective tax rate. Due to the pre-tax loss in the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a $4.9 million income tax benefit in that period, which measured 30% of the pre-tax loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and proceeds from maturities of securities. The Company also actively utilizes borrowings in managing its liquidity and may access sources of liquidity, including brokered deposits and capital in the financial markets, depending on the Company’s financial condition and market conditions.
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period, and are reported in the statements of cash flows in our consolidated financial statements.
The Company prioritizes deposits as a primary funding source and maintains a variety of available liquidity sources, including FHLB advances and Federal Reserve borrowing capacity. When profitable lending and investment opportunities exist, the Company may access its liquidity sources to grow the balance sheet. The amount and type of assets the Company has available to pledge affects the Company’s FHLB and Federal Reserve borrowing capacity. For example, a prime one-to-four family residential loan may provide 75 cents of borrowing capacity for every $1.00 pledged, whereas a commercial loan may increase borrowing capacity in a lower amount. The Company’s lending decisions, therefore, can also affect its liquidity position.
The table below shows current and unused liquidity capacity from various sources at the dates indicated:
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Dollars in thousands) | Outstanding | Borrowing Capacity | Outstanding | Borrowing Capacity |

Avidia Bancorp, Inc. is a separate legal entity from Avidia Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations. Its primary source of income is dividends received from Avidia Bank. The amount of dividends that Avidia Bank may declare and pay to the Company is subject to regulation. At March 31, 2026, Avidia Bancorp, Inc. had liquid assets of $74.6 million on a stand-alone, unconsolidated basis.
Capital Resources. At March 31, 2026, Avidia Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements and was categorized as well-capitalized at that date. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification of well-capitalized status that would change this categorization. For additional information, including tabular financial information regarding Avidia Bank’s capital levels relative to the requirements for well-capitalized status, see Note 11 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. For additional information, see Note 10 to notes to consolidated financial statements.
Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into certain contractual obligations, including operating leases for premises and equipment, among others.
Management of Market Risk
General. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in market interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset Liability Committee is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk according to the policy and guidelines approved by our board of directors. The Asset Liability Committee meets at least quarterly, is comprised of executive officers and certain senior management, and reports to the board risk committee on at least a quarterly basis. We currently utilize a third-party modeling program, prepared on a quarterly basis, to evaluate our sensitivity to changing interest rates, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.
We seek to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:
maintaining capital levels that exceed the thresholds for well-capitalized status under applicable regulations;
maintaining a prudent level of liquidity;
growing our volume of low-cost core deposit accounts;
using our investment securities portfolio and interest rate derivatives as part of our balance sheet asset and liability and interest rate risk management strategy to reduce the impact of market interest rate movements on net interest income and economic value of equity;
using wholesale funding, in the form of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and brokered deposits in a prudent manner;
continuing to diversify our loan portfolio by seeking to grow commercial-related loans, which typically have shorter maturities; and
continuing to sell long term, fixed-rate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans in the secondary market while retaining adjustable-rate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans in our loan portfolio.
Shortening the average term of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term assets, as well as originating loans with variable interest rates, helps to match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities better, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates.
Interest Rate Derivatives. We employ various financial risk methodologies that limit, or “hedge,” the adverse effects of increasing or decreasing market interest rates on our investment or loan portfolio and short-term liabilities, such as Federal Home Loan Bank advances. At March 31, 2026, we had interest rate swaps related to Federal Home Loan Bank advances with a notional amount of $75 million and interest rate swaps related to investments of a notional amount of $35 million. We also engage in hedging strategies with respect to arrangements where our commercial banking customers swap floating interest rate obligations for fixed interest rate obligations, or vice versa. At March 31, 2026, we had interest rate swaps related to customer loans of a notional amount of $105 million. Our hedging activity varies based on the level and volatility of interest rates and other changing market conditions. For additional information regarding these activities, see Note 6 in notes to consolidated financial statements.
Change in Net Interest Income. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net interest income model. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings.
The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 2026, the calculation of the estimated changes in our net interest income that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve. The changes indicated in the following table are within policy guidelines adopted by Avidia Bank’s board of directors.

(1) Assumes an immediate uniform change in interest rates at all maturities. One hundred basis points equals 1.00%.
The table above indicates that at March 31, 2026, we would have experienced a 5.6% decrease in net interest income in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in market interest rates and a 1.4% increase in net interest income in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates.
The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2025, the calculation of the estimated changes in our net interest income that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

(1) Assumes an immediate uniform change in interest rates at all maturities. One hundred basis points equals 1.00%.
The table above indicates that at December 31, 2025, we would have experienced a 5.4 % decrease in net interest income in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in market interest rates and a 0.6% increase in net interest income in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates.
Economic Value of Equity. We also compute amounts by which the net present value of our assets and liabilities (economic value of equity or “EVE”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. This model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. The model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract under the assumptions that the United States Treasury yield curve increases instantaneously by 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point increments or decreases instantaneously by 100. 200 or 300 basis point increments, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve.
The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 2026, the calculation of the estimated changes in our EVE that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The net interest income and net economic value tables presented assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates, and actual results may differ.
Interest rate risk calculations also may not reflect the fair values of financial instruments. For example, decreases in market interest rates can increase the fair values of our loans, mortgage servicing rights, deposits and borrowings.
