Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-K, including information incorporated by reference herein, contains, and future filings by Security Federal Corporation ("Company") on Form 10-Q, and Form 8-K, and future oral and written statements by the Company and its management may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or business. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact, are based on certain assumptions and are generally identified by use of the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "targets," "potentially," "probably," "projects," "outlook" or similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "may," "will," "should," "would" and "could." Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, assumptions and statements about, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which we operate, projections of future performance and operations or financial condition, perceived opportunities in the market, potential future credit experience, and statements regarding our mission and vision. These forward-looking statements are based upon current management's expectations and may, therefore, involve risk and uncertainties. Our actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide variety or range of factors, including, but not limited to:
| • | adverse economic conditions in our market areas or other areas where we have lending relationships, due to factors like employment levels, labor shortages, inflation, potential recession or slowed economic growth; |
| • | changes in the interest rate environment, including increases or decreases in the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) benchmark rate, which could adversely affect our revenues, expenses, asset values, cost of capital and liquidity; |
| • | the impact of inflation and the Federal Reserve monetary policies; |
| • | the effects of any federal government shutdown; |
| • | the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in loan delinquencies, write-offs and the allowance for credit losses; |
| • | fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes, land and real estate values in our market areas; |
| • | secondary market conditions for loans and our ability to sell loans in the secondary market; |
| • | the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks and related negative publicity about the banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment; |
| • | results of examinations of the Federal Reserve and the Bank by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions, or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for credit losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or impose additional requirements or restrictions on us, any of which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; |
| • | legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in banking, securities and tax laws, and in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules; |
| • | our ability to attract and retain deposits; |
| • | our ability to control operating costs and expenses; |
| • | our ability to implement our business strategies, including expectations regarding key growth initiatives and strategic priorities; |
| • | the use of estimates in determining the fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation; |
| • | difficulties in reducing risks associated with the loans on our balance sheet; |
| • | staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our workforce and potential associated charges; |
| • | disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems or critical third-party vendors; |
| • | our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team; |
| • | costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; |
| • | increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; |
| • | changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; |
| • | the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; |
| • | our ability to pay dividends on our common or preferred stock; |
| • | the quality and composition of our securities portfolio and the impact of any adverse changes in the securities markets; |
| • | inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations; |
| • | the potential imposition of new tariffs or changes to existing trade policies that could affect economic activity or specific industry sectors; |
| • | changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues; |
| • | environmental, social, and governance goals; |
| • | effects of climate change, severe weather events, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics and other public health crises, acts of war or terrorism, civil unrest and other external events on our business; |
| • | other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services; and |
| • | other risks described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("2025 Form 10-K") and in the Company's other reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). |
Any of the forward-looking statements that we make may turn out to be inaccurate as a result of our beliefs and assumptions we make in connection with the factors set forth above or because of other unidentified and unpredictable factors. Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements and you should not rely on such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publish revised forward- looking statements to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances after the date hereof. These risks could cause our actual results for 2026 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by or on behalf of us, and could negatively affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations, liquidity and stock price performance.
As used throughout this report, the terms "we," "our," or "us" refer to Security Federal Corporation and our consolidated subsidiary, Security Federal Bank.
