FIRST SEACOAST BANCORP, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Seacoast Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Seacoast Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, FSB Service Corporation, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim consolidated financial information, general practices within the banking industry and with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all the information or footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 21, 2025.

Corporate Structure

The Bank offers a full range of banking and investment management services to its customers. The Bank focuses on four core services that center around customer needs. The core services include residential lending, commercial banking, personal banking and wealth management. The Bank offers a full range of commercial and consumer banking services through its network of five full-service branch locations. Investment management services are offered through FSB Wealth Management - a division of First Seacoast Bank. The division currently consists of two financial advisors who are located in Dover, New Hampshire. FSB Wealth Management provides access to non-FDIC insured products that include retirement planning, portfolio management, investment and insurance strategies, business retirement plans and college planning to individuals throughout our primary market area. These investments and services are offered through a third-party registered broker-dealer and investment advisor. FSB Wealth Management receives fees from advisory services and commissions on individual investment and insurance products purchased by clients. The assets held for wealth management customers are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Bank is engaged principally in the business of attracting deposits from the public and investing those funds in various types of loans, including residential and commercial real estate loans, and a variety of commercial and consumer loans. The Bank also invests its deposits and borrowed funds in investment securities. Deposits at the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) for the maximum amount permitted by law.

The Company has one reportable segment, “Banking Services.” All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent and assessed based on how each of the activities of the Company supports the others. For example, lending is dependent upon the ability of the Company to fund itself with deposits and other borrowings and manage interest rate and credit risk. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one segment or unit.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," on January 1, 2024, which provides updated guidance for segment reporting. The Company has determined that all of its banking services meet the aggregation criteria of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, as its current operating model is structured whereby the Bank serves a similar base of customers who utilize a company-wide offering of similar products and services managed through similar processes that are collectively reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).

The CODM regularly assesses performance of the aggregated single operating and reporting segment and decides how to allocate resources based upon net income or loss calculated on the same basis as net income or loss is reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of net loss and other comprehensive (loss) income. The CODM is also regularly provided with the expense information at a level consistent with that disclosed in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss and of other comprehensive (loss) income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet To Be Adopted

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 on a prospective basis. Retrospective application for all periods presented is permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes- Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which will require enhancements and further transparency to various income tax disclosures, most notably the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Retrospective application for all periods presented is permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on our disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, “Codification Improvements,” which amends the Codification to remove references to various concepts statements and impacts a variety of topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance, but in most instances the references removed are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, the amendments in ASU 2024-02 are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. ASU 2024-02 was effective January 1, 2025 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Management evaluates securities available-for-sale in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Consideration is given to (1) the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. At March 31, 2025, the Company had 107 securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position without an allowance for credit losses. Management does not have the intent to sell any of these securities and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2025, management believes that the unrealized losses detailed in the previous table are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in interest rates and other market conditions, and therefore the Company carried no allowance for credit losses on securities available-for-sale as of March 31, 2025.

Proceeds from sales, maturities, principal payments received and gross realized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no holdings of securities of any issuer, other than the SBA, FHLMC, GNMA and FNMA, whose aggregate carrying value exceeded 10% of consolidated stockholders’ equity.

3.Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The Company's lending activities are primarily conducted in and around Dover, New Hampshire, and in the areas surrounding its branches. The Company grants commercial real estate loans, multifamily 5+ dwelling unit loans, commercial and industrial loans, acquisition, development and land loans, 1–4 family residential loans, home equity line of credit loans and consumer loans. Most loans are collateralized by real estate. The ability and willingness of real estate, commercial and construction loan borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the health of the real estate sector in the borrowers’ geographic area and the general economy.

Loans consisted of the following at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

	March 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
	(Dollars in thousands)

The Company elected to include deferred loan origination costs, net and to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans disclosed throughout this footnote. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accrued interest receivable for loans totaled $1.3 million and is included in the “accrued interest receivable” line item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures

The Company estimates its allowance for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures ("ACL") as outlined in ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended ("ASU 2016-13" or “ASC 326”)." Under ASC 326, the ACL at each reporting period serves as a best estimate of projected credit losses over the contractual life of certain assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for expected prepayments, given an expectation of economic conditions and forecasts as of the valuation date. The ACL is the sum of various components including the following: (a) historical loss experience, (b) a reasonable and supportable forecasts, (c) loans evaluated individually, and (d) changes in relevant environmental factors. The historical loss component is segmented by loan type and serves as the core of the ACL adequacy methodology. The Company has selected the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity Model (“WARM”), for the loss calculation of each of its loan pools utilizing a third-party software application. The WARM uses a quarterly loss rate and future expectations of loan balances to calculate an ACL. A loss rate is applied to pool balances over time.

The application of ASC 326 may create volatility in the ACL, increasing or decreasing from period to period based on many factors, including, but not limited to: (i) macroeconomic forecasts and conditions; (ii) forecast period and reversion speed; (iii) prepayment speed assumption; (iv) loan portfolio volumes and changes in mix; (v) credit quality; and (vi) various qualitative factors outlined in ASU 2016-13.

The significant key assumptions used with the ACL calculation at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 using the ASC 326 methodology, included:

•Macroeconomic factors (loss drivers): Monitoring and assessing local and national unemployment, changes in national GDP and other macroeconomic factors which may be the most predictive indicator of losses within the loan portfolio. The macroeconomic factors considered in determining the ACL may change from time to time.

•Forecast Period and Reversion speed: ASU 2016-13 requires a company to use a reasonable and supportable forecast period in developing the ACL, which represents the time period that management believes it can reasonably forecast the identified loss drivers. Generally, the forecast period management believes to be reasonable and supportable will be set annually and validated through an assessment of economic leading indicators. In periods of greater volatility and uncertainty, such as the current interest rate environment, management will likely use a shorter forecast period,

12

whereas when markets, economies, interest rate environment, political matters, and other factors are considered to be more stable and certain, a longer forecast period may be used. Also, in times of greater uncertainty, management may consider a range of possible forecasts and evaluate the probability of each scenario. Generally, the forecasted period is expected to range from one to three years. Once the reasonable and supportable forecast period is determined, ASU 2016-13 requires a company to revert its loss expectations to the long-run historical mean for the remainder of the contract life of the asset, adjusted for prepayments. In determining the length of time over which the reversion will take place (i.e. "reversion speed"), factors such as, historical credit loss experience over previous economic cycles, as well as where the Company believes it is within the current economic cycle, will be considered. The Company has chosen a forecast period of six quarters which will be similar to the historical loss period between January 2014 and December 2016 and then reverting to the long-term average over the following two quarters using the straight-line reversion method. The Company believes this historical forecast period to be representative of potential economic conditions over the next eighteen months.

•Prepayment speeds: Prepayment speeds are determined for each loan segment utilizing the Company's historical loan data, as well as consideration of current environmental factors. The prepayment speed assumption is utilized with the WARM method to forecast expected cash flows over the contractual life of the loan, adjusted for expected prepayments. A higher prepayment speed assumption will drive a lower ACL, and vice versa.

•Qualitative factors: ASU 2016-13 requires companies to consider various qualitative factors that may impact expected credit losses. The Company considers qualitative factors in determining and arriving at an ACL at each reporting period such as: (i) actual or expected changes in economic trends and conditions, (ii) changes in the value of underlying collateral for loans, (iii) changes to lending policies, underwriting standards and/or management personnel performing such functions, (iv) delinquency and other credit quality trends, (v) credit risk concentrations, if any, (vi) changes to the nature of the Company's business impacting the loan portfolio, (vii) and other external factors, that may include, but are not limited to, results of internal loan reviews and examinations by bank regulatory agencies.

Certain loans which may not share similar risk characteristics with other loans in the portfolio may be tested individually for estimated credit losses, including (i) loans classified as special mention, substandard or doubtful and are on non-accrual, (ii) a loan modified for a borrower experiencing financial difficulty or (iii) loans that have other unique characteristics. Factors considered in measuring the extent of the expected credit loss for these loans may include payment status, collateral value, borrower's financial condition, guarantor support and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

Changes in the ACL for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, by portfolio segment, are summarized as follows:

There were no loans past due over 90 days still accruing interest at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. There were no loans collateralized by residential real estate property in the process of foreclosure at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

There were no loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification, if applicable. The ACL incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon origination. Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty would already be included in the ACL as a result of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change in the ACL is generally not recorded upon modification.

Credit Quality Information

The Company utilizes a ten-grade internal loan rating system for its commercial real estate, multifamily, commercial and industrial, and acquisition, development, and land loans. Residential real estate, home equity line of credit and consumer loans are considered “pass” rated loans until they become delinquent. Once delinquent, loans can be rated an 8, 9 or 10 as applicable.

Loans rated 1 through 6: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.

14

Loans rated 9: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans rated 10: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted and should be charged off.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on its commercial and industrial, , commercial real estate, multifamily and acquisition, development and land loans. On a periodic basis, the Company engages an independent third party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments and to assess the credit risk management practices of its commercial lending department. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process, adequacy of the ACL on loans and overall credit risk administration.

On a quarterly basis, the Company formally reviews the ratings on its applicable residential real estate and home equity loans if they have become classified as non-accrual. Criteria used to determine ratings consist of loan-to-value ratios and days delinquent.

4.Loan Servicing

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of such loans were $30.8 million and $31.3 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Substantially all of these loans were originated by the Bank and sold to third parties on a non-recourse basis with servicing rights retained. These retained servicing rights are recorded as a servicing asset and are initially recorded at fair value (see Note 14, Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities, for more information). Changes to the balance of mortgage servicing rights are recorded in loan servicing income in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss.

The Company’s mortgage servicing activities include: collecting principal, interest and escrow payments from borrowers; making tax and insurance payments on behalf of borrowers; monitoring delinquencies and executing foreclosure proceedings; and accounting for and remitting principal and interest payments to investors. Loan servicing income, including late and ancillary fees, was $6,000 and $11,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company's residential mortgage investor loan servicing portfolio is primarily comprised of fixed rate loans concentrated in the Company’s market areas.

6.Borrowings

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”)

All borrowings from the FHLB are secured by a blanket security agreement on qualified collateral, principally residential mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans, discounted by a certain percentage, in an aggregate amount greater than or equal to outstanding advances. The Bank’s unused remaining available borrowing capacity at the FHLB was approximately $88.8 million and $94.0 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had sufficient collateral at the FHLB to support its obligations and was in compliance with the FHLB’s collateral pledging program.

18

A summary of borrowings from the FHLB is as follows:

		March 31, 2025
Principal Amounts		Maturity Dates		Interest Rates
		(Dollars in thousands)
$	11,640		2025	4.50% – fixed

$	52,268

Included in the above borrowings from the FHLB at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is a $25.0 million long-term advance, with an interest rate of 4.75%, which is callable by the FHLB on April 29, 2025 and quarterly thereafter. Also, included in the above borrowings from the FHLB at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is a $25.0 million long-term advance, with an interest rate of 4.38%, which is callable by the FHLB on December 8, 2025 and quarterly thereafter. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 borrowings from the FHLB also include $2.3 million of advances through the FHLB’s Jobs for New England program where certain qualifying small business loans that create or preserve jobs, expand woman-, minority- or veteran-owned businesses, or otherwise stimulate the economy in New England communities are offered at an interest rate of 0%. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had an overnight line of credit with the FHLB that may be drawn up to $3.0 million. The entire balance of this credit facility was available at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (“FRB”)

The Bank has a secured credit facility with the FRB – Borrower-In-Custody of Collateral Program (“BIC”). Advances under the BIC would be collateralized by eligible collateral - principally commercial real estate loans. On January 7, 2025, the Bank completed the eligibility process whereby the FHLB agreed to subordinate their interest in commercial real estate loans up to a maximum of $65.0 million allowing these loans to be pledged to the BIC. The Bank subsequently pledged $65.0 million of its commercial real estate loans to the BIC. The Bank’s unused available borrowing capacity at the FRB was $38.5 million and $-0- at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. At March 31, 2025, the Bank was in compliance with the FRB’s collateral pledging program.

Correspondent Banks

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had a total of $2.0 million of unsecured Fed Funds borrowing lines of credit with correspondent banks. The entire balance of these credit facilities was available at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

7.Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unadvanced funds on loans and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

19

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but generally includes secured interests in mortgages.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee performance by a customer to a third-party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings will not be material to the consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statements of loss.

Notional amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk are approximately as follows as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

	2025		2024
Unadvanced portions of loans	$	41,041	$	42,883
Commitments to originate loans		6,129		9,333
Standby letters of credit		125		125

The Company records an ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposures that are not unconditionally cancelable through a charge to the provision for credit losses on the Company’s consolidated statements of loss. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposure totaled $169,000 and $199,000, respectively, and was included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The provision (release) for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $(30,000) and $(50,000), respectively.

8.Employee Benefits

401(k) Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan for substantially all employees pursuant to which employees of the Company could elect to make contributions to the plan subject to Internal Revenue Service limits. The Company makes matching and profit-sharing contributions to eligible participants in accordance with plan provisions. The Company’s contributions for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $59,000.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

Salary Continuation Plan

The Company maintains a nonqualified supplemental retirement plan for its current President and its former President. The plan provides supplemental retirement benefits payable in installments over a period of years upon retirement or death. The recorded liability at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 relating to this supplemental retirement plan was $815,000 and $827,000, respectively. The discount rate used to determine the Company’s obligation was 5.00%. On March 5, 2025, the Bank and its current president entered into an amendment that limits the annual benefit to $64,817 if there is a separation from service for other than at or following a change of control. Accordingly, as a result of the amendment, the benefit, outside of a change in control, is now fixed and will no longer increase over time. The expense of this salary retirement plan was $2,000 and $37,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Directors Deferred Supplemental Retirement Plan

The Company has a supplemental retirement plan for eligible directors that provides for monthly benefits based upon years of service to the Company, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the agreements. The present value of these future payments is being accrued over the estimated period of service. The estimated liability at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 relating to this plan was $599,000 and $611,000, respectively. The discount rate used to determine the Company’s obligation was 6.25% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Total supplemental retirement plan expense amounted to $18,000 and $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company enacted a “hard freeze” for this supplemental retirement plan as of January 1, 2022. On February 10, 2022, the Bank and the non-employee members of the board of directors of the Bank entered into amendments to the Supplemental Director Retirement Agreements (the “Agreements”) previously entered into by the Bank and the directors. The amendments eliminate the formula for determining the normal annual retirement benefit (previously “70% of Final Base Fee”) and replaces it with a fixed annual benefit of $20,000. The amendments also eliminate the formula for determining the benefit

20

payable on a change in control (previously tied to the normal annual retirement formula with certain imputed increases in the Base Fee) and replacing it with a fixed amount equal to the present value of $200,000. The effect of the amendments is to eliminate the variable and increasing costs associated with the Agreements. Instead, since the normal annual retirement benefit will be a fixed amount, the future costs associated with the Agreements is now more predictable. It is the intention of the Bank that no new directors of the Bank would enter into similar agreements.

Additionally, the Company has a deferred director’s fee plan, which allows members of the board of directors to defer the receipt of fees that otherwise would be paid to them in cash. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total deferred directors' fees amounted to $927,000 and $917,000, respectively.

9.Stock Based Compensation

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company maintains the First Seacoast Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) to provide eligible employees of the Company the opportunity to own Company stock. The ESOP is a tax-qualified retirement plan for the benefit of Company employees. Contributions are allocated to eligible participants on the basis of compensation, subject to federal limits. The number of shares committed to be released per year through 2047 is 15,354. The Company uses the principal and interest method to determine the release of shares amount.

The ESOP funded its purchase of 423,715 shares through a loan from the Company equal to 100% of the aggregate purchase price of the common stock. The ESOP trustee is repaying the loan principally through the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP over the remaining loan term that matures on December 31, 2047. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the remaining principal balance on the ESOP debt was $4.1 million.

Under applicable accounting requirements, the Company records compensation expense for the ESOP equal to fair market value of shares when they are committed to be released from the suspense account to participants’ accounts under the plan. Total compensation expense recognized in connection with the ESOP for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $40,000 and $32,000, respectively. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total unearned compensation for the ESOP was $3.8 million.

	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Shares held by the ESOP include the following:
Allocated		70,572		55,218
Committed to be allocated		3,839		15,354
Unallocated		349,304		353,143
Total		423,715		423,715

The fair value of unallocated shares was approximately $4.1 million and $3.1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Equity Incentive Plan

Effective May 27, 2021, the Company adopted the First Seacoast Bancorp 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for the granting of incentive and non-statutory stock options to purchase shares of common stock and the granting of shares of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The 2021 Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 348,801 shares of common stock (adjusted for the second step conversion transaction). Of this number, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 249,144 shares (adjusted for the second step conversion transaction), and the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units is 99,657 shares (adjusted for the second step conversion transaction). The exercise price of stock options may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is granted. Further, stock options may not be granted with a term that is longer than 10 years.

On May 25, 2023, 249,144 incentive and non-statutory stock options to purchase shares of common stock were granted under the 2021 Plan to directors for their services on the board of directors and certain members of management. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. Since it was determined that the Company lacked sufficient historical closing stock prices, the expected volatility assumption was based upon a combination of actual historical volatility combined with the historical volatility developed for comparable companies. Also, since the Company lacked the appropriate historical data, the expected term of the option was calculated using the simplified method. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated grant date fair value of each option is expensed as employee benefits expense ratably over the vesting period. The expense

21

recognized for this grant was $55,000 and $62,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which provided a tax benefit of $15,000 and $17,000, respectively. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense for this equity incentive plan was $275,000 and $335,000, respectively, with a 1.2 and 1.4 year weighted average future recognition period, respectively.

Effective May 30, 2024, the Company adopted the First Seacoast Bancorp, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan provides for the granting of incentive and non-statutory stock options to purchase shares of common stock or the granting of shares of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The 2024 Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 392,700 converted shares of common stock. Of this number, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 280,500 shares, and the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units is 112,200 shares.

On December 2, 2024, 280,500 incentive and non-statutory stock options to purchase shares of common stock were granted under the 2024 Plan to directors for their services on the board of directors and certain members of management. As noted above, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. The expected volatility assumption for this award was based upon the actual historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of the option was calculated using the simplified method since the Company continues to lack the appropriate historical data. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated grant date fair value of each option is expensed as employee benefits expense ratably over the vesting period. The expense recognized for this grant was $91,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which provided a tax benefit of $25,000. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense for this equity incentive plan was $1.0 million with a 2.7 and 2.9 year weighted average future recognition period, respectively.

The Company has a policy of using shares held as treasury stock to satisfy share option exercises. Currently, the Company has a sufficient number of treasury shares to satisfy expected share option exercises.

10.Leases

The Company’s lease arrangements consist of operating and finance leases; however, the majority of the leases have been classified as non-cancellable operating leases and are primarily for real estate and equipment leases with remaining lease terms of up to 15 years. The Company accounts for leases under ASC Topic 842 –Leases (Topic 842) – and recognizes its operating leases on its consolidated balance sheet by recording a net lease liability, representing the Company’s legal obligation to make these lease payments, and a ROU asset, representing the Company’s legal right to use the leased assets. The Company, by policy, does not include renewal options for leases as part of its ROU asset and lease liabilities unless they are deemed reasonably certain to exercise. The Company does not have any sub-lease agreements.

The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease based on whether a contract, or a part of a contract, conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The discount rate is either implicit in the lease or, when such a rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term.

On June 11, 2024, the Bank entered into and closed on an agreement with a single purchaser for the purchase and sale of four properties formerly owned and operated by the Bank, which included four branches (with an adjacent drive thru) and a parking lot, each adjacent to a sold branch, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $7.5 million. Concurrently with the sale-leaseback transaction, the Bank entered into an absolute net lease agreement with the purchaser under which the Bank will lease the properties for an initial term of 15 years with one renewal option of 15 years. The lease agreement includes a 2.5% annual rent escalation during the initial term and during the renewal term, if exercised. The sale-leaseback transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $2.5 million. Additionally, the Company recorded a $1.5 million finance lease liability related to this agreement representing the portion of the gain not eligible for immediate recognition. The Company's obligation under this operating lease expires in June 2039 and has future lease payments of $9.0 million as of March 31, 2025. Total lease expense for this operating lease was $131,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

24

The Company's obligation under an operating lease related to its leased ATMs expires in August 2030 and has future lease payments of $413,000 as of March 31, 2025. Total lease expense under this operating lease was $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company's obligation under an operating lease related to a branch not included in the sale-leaseback transaction expires in August 2027 and has future lease payments of $103,000 as of March 31, 2025. Total lease expense for this obligation was $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. This lease agreement contains clauses calling for escalation of minimum lease payments contingent on increases in LIBOR, or a similar replacement index, and the consumer price index.

12.Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below). As of March 31, 2025, the most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank, as well capitalized under the regulatory framework, for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject, including the capital conservation buffer, at those dates.

The following table presents actual and required capital ratios as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for the Bank under the Basel Committee on Banking Supervisions capital guidelines for U.S. banks (“Basel III Capital Rules”) as fully phased-in on January 1, 2019. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

13.Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. These derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities and are not reported on a net basis.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments or the receipt of fixed rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

On July 12, 2024, the Company entered into a two-year interest rate contract that was designated as fair value hedge utilizing a pay fixed interest rate swap to hedge a portion of its index-based brokered deposits included in savings deposits and its change in fair value attributable to the movement in the one-month SOFR. The carrying amount of the hedged liability located in “savings deposits" includes the savings account balance used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged items are the stated amount of liabilities anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedged period. The carrying amount of the savings deposit used in the hedged relationship was $22.0 million and $22.1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Under the "portfolio layer" approach, the Company designated a $10.0 million notional amount of portfolio liabilities that are not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults and other factors affecting the timing and amount of cash flows of the designated hedged layer. At inception, this fair value hedge had a pay fixed rate of 4.33% and a received rate of 5.32% (4.42% as of March 31, 2025). The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap was reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and was subsequently reclassified into interest expense or income in the period that the hedged transaction affected earnings. The change in fair value for this derivative instrument for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $(21,000). For the three months ended March 31, 2025, $-0- of interest income was reclassified from AOCI into expense.

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain pools of fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. The Company's interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for the Company receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. The hedging strategy effectively converts these fixed-rate assets to SOFR floating rate assets for the term of the swap starting on the effective date. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income.

In June 2023, the Company entered into a three-year $25 million notional amount interest rate contract that was designated as a fair value hedge utilizing a pay fixed interest rate swap to hedge a portion of the residential mortgage loan portfolio's change in fair value attributable to the movement in the one-month SOFR. In November 2023, the Company entered into a second three-year $25 million notional amount interest rate contract that was also designated as a fair value hedge utilizing a pay fixed interest rate swap to hedge a portion of the residential mortgage loan portfolio's change in fair value attributable to the movement in the one-month SOFR. On November 1, 2024, the Company terminated this second pay fixed interest rate swap which resulted in a swap termination fee of $398,000 due to the counterparty. The $398,000 fee was recorded as a residential mortgage loan basis adjustment and included in 1-4 family residential loans as it is amortized over the remaining expected life of the original swap – 24 months. Also, $1.2 million of cash posted to the counterparty as collateral for this interest rate swap contract was returned to the Company. The Company terminated this interest rate swap as it was determined that this derivative was no longer meeting the aims of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy as it was probable that the hedged forecasted transaction – the potential interest rate risk/variability in fair value of the residential loan portfolio attributable to the movement in one-month SOFR – would not occur by the end of the original maturity date of the hedging instrument.

Additionally, in December 2023, the Company entered into a three-year $10 million notional amount interest rate contract that was designated as fair value hedge utilizing a pay fixed interest rate swap to hedge a portion of the securities available-for-sale municipal bond portfolio's change in fair value attributable to the movement in the one-month SOFR. On December 19, 2024 the Company terminated this pay fixed interest rate swap which resulted in a swap termination fee of $32,000 due to the counterparty. The $32,000 fee was recorded as a municipal bond basis adjustment and included in securities available-for-sale as it is amortized over a period consistent with the amortization of the discounts and premiums associated with the formerly hedged items. Also, $280,000 of cash posted to the counterparty as collateral for this interest rate swap contract was returned to the Company. The Company terminated this interest rate swap as it was determined that this derivative was no longer meeting the aims of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy as it was probable that the hedged forecasted transaction – the potential interest rate risk/variability in fair value of the securities available-for-sale municipal bond portfolio attributable to the movement in one-month SOFR – would not occur by the end of the original maturity date of the hedging instrument.

28

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the following amounts were recorded on the balance sheet related to cumulative basis adjustment for fair value hedges:

Location in Consolidated Balance Sheets	Carrying Amount of Hedged Assets/(Liabilities)				Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment Included in the Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets/(Liabilities)
(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024		March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Total loans	$	25,030	$	24,957	$	30	$	(43	)

The carrying amount of the hedged asset located in “total loans” includes the amortized cost basis of closed portfolios of fixed-rate residential loans used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged items are the stated amount of assets anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedged period. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios of fixed-rate residential loans used in the hedging relationship was in excess of the carrying amount of the hedged asset. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the cumulative basis adjustments associated with this hedging relationship was $30,000 and $(43,000), respectively; and the notional amount of the designated hedged item was $25.0 million. Under the "portfolio layer" approach, the Company designated a notional amount of portfolio assets that are not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults and other factors affecting the timing and amount of cash flows of the designated hedged layer.

The notional amounts of these agreements do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of potential loss exposure. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s fair value hedges had a remaining maturity of 1.17 and 1.42 years, respectively, an average pay fixed rate of 3.99% and an average received rate of 5.07%.

Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Customer Loan Swaps

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain commercial banking customers. On May 19, 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a commercial loan borrower. The Company executes interest rate swaps with customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The interest rate swap contract with the commercial loan borrower allows them to convert floating-rate loan payments based on SOFR to fixed-rate loan payments. This interest rate swap is simultaneously hedged by an offsetting derivative that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivative and the offsetting derivative are recognized directly in earnings.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

By entering into derivative transactions, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the Company’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net positive fair value and accrued interest of all swaps with each counterparty. The Company seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, and other monitoring procedures. Institutional counterparties must have an investment grade credit rating and be approved by the Company’s board of directors. As such, management believes the risk of incurring credit losses on derivative contracts with institutional counterparties is remote. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company posted $784,000 and $781,000, respectively, of cash to the counterparties as collateral on its interest rate swap contracts and customer loan swaps, which was presented within cash and due from banks on the consolidated balance sheets.

Balance Sheet Offsetting

Certain financial instruments may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet and/or subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The Company’s derivative transactions with institutional counterparties are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) master agreements which include “right of set-off” provisions. In such cases there is generally a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. Generally, the Company does not offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.

14.Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

Determination of Fair Value

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from one level to another. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various assets and liabilities. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value of cash flows or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the observability and reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 - Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

For assets and liabilities, fair value is based upon the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and, therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented therein. A more detailed description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value is set forth below. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:

Securities Available-for-Sale: The Company’s investment in U.S. Government-sponsored entities bonds, U.S Government agency small business administration pools guaranteed by the SBA, collateralized mortgage obligations issued by the FHLMC, residential mortgage-backed securities and other municipal bonds is generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include reported trades, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash

32

flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes interest rate, prepayment speed and default rate assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data (see Note 4, Loan Servicing, for more information). These assumptions are inherently sensitive to change as these unobservable inputs are not based on quoted prices in active markets or otherwise observable.

Derivative Instruments and Hedges: The valuation of these instruments is determined using the discounted cash flow method on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.

The following table summarizes financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

(1)Unobservable inputs for mortgage servicing rights were weighted by loan amount.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights are the weighted-average prepayment rate, weighted-average discount rate, weighted average delinquency rate and weighted-average default rate. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Although the prepayment rate and the discount rate are not directly interrelated, they generally move in opposite directions of each other.

The Company estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. Observable and unobservable inputs are entered into this model as prescribed by an independent third party to arrive at an estimated fair value.

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the reported periods may include certain individually evaluated loans reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral. Fair value is measured using appraised values of collateral and adjusted as necessary by management based on unobservable inputs for specific properties. However, the choice of observable data is subject to significant judgment, and there are often adjustments based on judgment in order to make observable data comparable and to consider the impact of time, the condition of properties, interest rates and other market factors on current values. Additionally, commercial real estate appraisals frequently involve discounting of projected cash flows, which relies inherently on unobservable data. Therefore, real estate collateral related nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments have generally been classified as Level 3.

Estimates of fair value used for other collateral supporting commercial loans generally are based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3. Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the reported periods also include loans held for sale. Residential mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and are therefore measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair values for loans held for sale are estimated based on commitments in effect from investors or prevailing market prices for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality and are included in Level 3. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Non-Financial Assets and Non-Financial Liabilities: The Company has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis generally include certain foreclosed assets which, upon initial recognition, were remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses and certain foreclosed assets which, subsequent to their initial recognition, are remeasured at fair value through a write-down included in other non-interest expense. There were no foreclosed assets at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

ASC Topic 825,“Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. ASU 2016-01 requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The exit price notion is a market-based measurement of fair value that is represented by the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) on the measurement date. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, fair values of loans are estimated on an exit price basis incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial condition at March 31, 2025 and consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. It should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report and with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed on March 21, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Overview

Our business consists primarily of taking deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings from the FHLB, in one- to four-family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate and multi-family loans, acquisition, development and land loans, commercial and industrial loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and consumer loans. In recent years, we have increased our focus, consistent with what we believe to be conservative underwriting standards, on originating higher yielding commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans.

We conduct our operations from four full-service banking offices in Strafford County, New Hampshire and one full-service banking office in Rockingham County, New Hampshire. We consider our primary lending market area to be Strafford and Rockingham Counties in New Hampshire and York County in Southern Maine.

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 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America. The preparation of these 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 policies discussed below to be critical accounting policies. 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.

Our critical accounting policies involve the calculation of the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") and the measurement of the fair value of financial instruments. A detailed description of these critical accounting policies can be found in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2025 (unaudited) and December 31, 2024

Total Assets. Total assets were $592.6 million as of March 31, 2025, an increase of $11.9 million, or 2.0%, compared to total assets of $580.8 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was due primarily to a $9.6 million increase in net loans and a $3.3 million increase in securities available-for-sale offset by a $920,000 decrease in cash and due from banks.

Cash and Due From Banks. Cash and due from banks decreased $920,000, or 13.0%, to $6.2 million at March 31, 2025 from $7.1 million at December 31, 2024. This decrease primarily resulted from a $9.6 million increase in net loans and a $3.3 million increase in securities available-for-sale offset by an $11.1 million increase in borrowings and a $1.3 million increase in mortgagors' tax escrow during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Available-for-Sale Securities. Available-for-sale securities increased by $3.3 million, or 2.7%, to $123.5 million at March 31, 2025 from $120.2 million at December 31, 2024. This increase was due primarily to $6.9 million of investment purchases and a $124,000 decrease in net unrealized losses within the portfolio offset by proceeds from principal payments totaling $3.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Management believes that the unrealized losses within the portfolio are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in market interest rates and other market conditions, and therefore we recorded no allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities as of March 31, 2025.

Net Loans. Net loans increased $9.6 million, or 2.2%, to $445.1 million at March 31, 2025 from $435.5 million at December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we originated $7.8 million of loans, net of principal collections, and purchased $1.5 million of participation interests in commercial loans through our membership in a national community bank loan program and $433,000 of consumer loans secured by manufactured housing properties. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the portfolio of purchased loans had outstanding principal balances of $35.7 million and $34.3 million, respectively, and were performing in accordance with their original repayment terms.

One- to four-family residential mortgage loans increased $1.7 million, or 0.6%, to $277.0 million at March 31, 2025 from $275.2 million at December 31, 2024. Commercial real estate mortgage loans increased $3.5 million, or 4.1%, to $89.6 million at March 31, 2025 from $86.0 million at December 31, 2024. Multi-family loans decreased $90,000, or 1.6%, to $5.7 million at March 31, 2025 from $5.8 million at December 31, 2024. Commercial and industrial loans increased $854,000, or 3.6%, to $24.6 million at March 31, 2025 from $23.7 million at December 31, 2024. Acquisition, development, and land loans increased $2.5 million, or 16.5%, to $17.4 million at March 31, 2025 from $14.9 million at December 31, 2024. Home equity loans and lines of credit increased $1.1 million, or 5.2%, to $22.0 million at March 31, 2025 from $20.9 million at December 31, 2024. Consumer loans increased $82,000, or 0.7%, to $12.5 million at March 31, 2025 from $12.4 million at December 31, 2024.

Our strategy to grow the balance sheet continues to be through originations and, to a lesser extent, purchases of commercial loan participations, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and consumer loans secured by manufactured housing properties, while also diversifying into higher yielding commercial real estate mortgage loans and commercial and industrial loans to improve net interest margin and manage interest rate risk. We also continue to sell selected, conforming 15-year and 30-year residential fixed rate mortgage loans to the secondary market on a servicing retained basis as market conditions allow, providing us a recurring source of revenue from loan servicing income and gains on the sale of such loans.

Our ACL on loans was $3.5 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 based upon ASU 2016-13 and its credit impairment standard for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities. The ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an ACL that are expected to occur over the remaining life of the asset, rather than incurred losses. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for loans held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accordingly, the ASU requires the use of forward-looking information to form credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied at prior reporting dates are still permitted, though the inputs to those techniques have changed to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. We have selected the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity Model (“WARM” or "CECL model"), for the loss calculation of each of our loan pools utilizing a third-party software application. The WARM uses a quarterly loss rate and future expectations of loan balances to calculate an ACL. A loss rate is applied to pool balances over time.

39

Deposits. Our deposits are generated primarily from residents within our primary market area. We offer a selection of deposit accounts, including non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts and time deposits, for both individuals and businesses. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of uninsured total deposit balances, which is the portion exceeding the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit, was estimated not to exceed $111.4 million, or 24.5% of total deposits, and $112.2 million, or 24.7% of total deposits, respectively.

For customers requiring full FDIC insurance on certificates of deposit in excess of $250,000, we began offering in late 2023 the CDARS® program, which allows us to place the certificates of deposit with other participating banks to maximize the customers’ FDIC insurance coverage. We receive a like amount of deposits from other participating financial institutions. In addition, we offer the ICS™ program, an insured deposit “sweep” program for demand deposits which is a product offered by IntraFi Network, LLC, which is also the provider of the CDARS® program. Similarly to the certificates of deposit’s discussed above, we receive a like amount of deposits from other financial institutions and all customer deposits are insured by the FDIC. These “reciprocal” CDARS® and ICS deposits are classified as “brokered” deposits in regulatory reports and "core" deposits in our consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2025 our “reciprocal” CDARS® and ICS deposits were $-0- and $5.5 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, our “reciprocal” CDARS® and ICS deposits were $-0- and $6.0 million, respectively.

Deposits decreased $74,000 to $454.1 million at March 31, 2025 from $454.2 million at December 31, 2024 primarily as a result of a $1.8 million decrease in retail deposits offset by a $1.8 million increase in commercial deposits. Core deposits (defined as deposits other than time deposits, including CDARS® and ICS deposits) increased $1.1 million, or 0.4%, to $319.6 million at March 31, 2025 from $318.5 million at December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, savings deposits decreased $840,000, money market deposits increased $351,000, NOW and demand deposits increased $1.6 million and time deposits decreased $1.2 million. There were $62.5 million and $63.1 million of brokered deposits included in time deposits at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Additionally, there were $22.0 million and $22.1 million of brokered deposits included in savings deposits at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Deposits from related parties totaled $11.4 million and $11.6 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Borrowings. Total borrowings from the FHLB increased $11.1 million, or 21.3%, to $63.4 million at March 31, 2025 from $52.3 million at December 31, 2024 in support of our investment and loan growth initiatives.

Total Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity decreased $824,000, or 1.3%, to $61.2 million at March 31, 2025 from $62.1 million at December 31, 2024. This decrease was due primarily to a net loss of $603,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $574,000 of common stock repurchases, partially offset by the recognition of $233,000 of previously unearned compensation.

Non-performing Assets. Non-performing assets include loans that are 90 or more days past due or on non-accrual status and real estate and other loan collateral acquired through foreclosure and repossession. Management determines that a loan is non-performing when it is probable at least a portion of the loan will not be collected in accordance with the original terms due to a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When a loan is determined to be non-performing, the measurement of the loan in the ACL is based on present value of expected future cash flows, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for non-performance based on the fair value of the collateral. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis.

We generally cease accruing interest on our loans when contractual payments of principal or interest have become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. Interest received on non-accrual loans generally is applied against principal or applied to interest on a cash basis. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for at least six consecutive months and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

Non-performing loans were $-0- at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no foreclosed assets.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024

Net Loss. Net loss was $603,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $549,000, or 47.7%. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in net interest and dividend income after provision (release) for credit losses of $268,000, an increase in total non-interest income of $54,000 and a decrease in income tax expense of $391,000, offset by an increase in total non-interest expense of $164,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

40

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income increased $362,000, or 6.0%, to $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was due to a $64,000 increase in interest and dividend income on investments and a $298,000 increase in interest and fees on loans.

Average interest-earning assets increased $11.9 million, to $571.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $559.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The weighted average annualized yield on interest earning-assets increased to 4.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 4.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to an increase in market interest rates. The weighted average annualized yield for the loan portfolio increased to 4.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 4.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due primarily to an increase in market interest rates. The weighted average annualized yield for all other interest-earning assets increased to 4.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 4.17% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due primarily to an increase in market interest rates.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $74,000, or 2.3%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Interest expense on deposits increased $569,000, or 28.0%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $53.6 million, or 15.8%, to $392.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $338.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily as a result of an increase in the average balances of savings deposits and time deposits offset by a decrease in the average balances of money market deposits. The weighted average annualized rate of interest-bearing deposits increased to 2.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 2.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily as a result of an increase in market interest rates.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $495,000, or 43.1%, to $654,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the use of brokered deposits to fund our investment and loan growth initiatives. The average balance of borrowings decreased $40.4 million, or 41.5%, to $57.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $97.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The weighted average annualized rate of borrowings decreased to 4.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 4.72% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as a result of a decrease in market interest rates.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased $288,000, or 10.0%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was due to an increase of $11.9 million, or 2.1%, in the average balance of interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of an increase in the average balance of interest-earning loans, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 offset by a $13.3 million, or 3.0%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of increases in the average balances of interest-bearing deposits offset by decreases in the average balances of borrowings. Annualized net interest margin increased to 2.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 2.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due primarily to an increase in net interest income and an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets.

Provision (Release) for Credit Losses. Based on management’s analysis of the ACL, a $-0- provision for credit losses was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a $(20,000) release of credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of $-0- for the provision for credit losses on available-for-sale securities, a $30,000 provision for credit losses on loans and a $(30,000) release of credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures. The release of credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of $-0- for the provision for credit losses on available-for-sale securities, a $30,000 for the provision for credit losses on loans and a $(50,000) release of credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $54,000, or 18.2%, to $351,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $297,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in non-interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due primarily to an increase in investment and customer service fees.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $164,000, or 4.1%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $118,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $133,000 increase in occupancy expense and a $53,000 increase in data processing, offset by a $52,000 decrease in professional fees and assessments and a $33,000 decrease in equipment expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due to normal salary increases and an increase in compensation expense associated with incentive and non-statutory stock options granted in December 2024. The increase in occupancy expense was due primarily to the increase in lease expense associated with the sale-leaseback transaction completed on June 11, 2024.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense decreased $391,000 to an income tax benefit of ($29,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from an income tax expense of $362,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The effective tax rate was 4.6% and 45.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Loss before income tax (benefit) expense was $(632,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $(790,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The income tax benefit and effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was less than statutory federal and state

41

rates due primarily to a $120,000 increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The income tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was greater than statutory federal and state rates due primarily to a $645,000 increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net deferred tax assets of $7.0 million and $6.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were reduced by a 100% valuation allowance because management believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. The valuation allowance for these net deferred tax assets may be adjusted in the future if estimates of taxable income during the carryforward period are increased.

42

Average Balance Sheets

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs and certain other information at and for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans are included in the computation of average balances only. The yields set forth below include the effect of net deferred fee income, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Average loan balances exclude loans held for sale, if applicable. The following table includes no out-of-period items or adjustments.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of uninsured total deposit balances, which is the portion exceeding the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit, was an estimated value not exceeding $111.4 million, or 24.5% of total deposits, and $112.2 million, or 24.7% of total deposits, respectively. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from the sale of loans and proceeds from sales and maturities of securities. We also rely on borrowings from the FHLB and FRB as supplemental sources of funds. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $63.4 million and $52.3 million outstanding in advances from the FHLB, respectively, and the ability to borrow an additional $88.8 million and $94.0 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had an overnight line of credit with the FHLB for up to $3.0 million. The Bank has a secured credit facility with the FRB – BIC Program. The Bank’s unused available borrowing capacity at the FRB was $38.5 million and $-0- at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Additionally, at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had a $2.0 million unsecured Fed Funds borrowing line of credit with a correspondent bank. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no outstanding balances under any of these additional credit facilities.

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 cash equivalents and available-for-sale investment securities. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Net cash provided (used) by operating activities was $573,000 and $(70,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash used by investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and purchases of securities available-for-sale offset by principal collections on loans and proceeds from the sale, maturity and principal payments on securities available-for-sale, was $13.3 million and $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances offset by treasury stock purchases, was $11.8 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

44

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position daily. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2025. Our current strategy is to increase core deposits and utilize FHLB advances, as well as brokered deposits, to fund loan growth.

First Seacoast Bancorp, Inc. is a separate legal entity from First Seacoast Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations and to fund repurchases of shares of common stock. The Company’s primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company is governed by applicable bank regulations. At March 31, 2025, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $16.5 million.

At March 31, 2025, First Seacoast Bank exceeded all its regulatory capital requirements. See Note 12 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements appearing under Item 1 of this quarterly report. Management is not aware of any conditions or events that would change First Seacoast Bank’s categorization as well-capitalized.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General. Most of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage our exposure to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, the board of directors established a management-level Asset/Liability Management Committee (the “ALCO”), which takes responsibility for overseeing the asset/liability management process and related procedures. The ALCO meets on at least a quarterly basis and reviews asset/liability strategies, liquidity positions, alternative funding sources, interest rate risk measurement reports, capital levels and economic trends at both national and local levels. Our interest rate risk position is also monitored quarterly by the board of directors.

We manage our interest rate risk in an effort to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in market interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: originating loans with adjustable interest rates; promoting core deposit products; selling a portion of fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans; maintaining investments as available-for-sale; diversifying our loan portfolio; utilizing interest rate swaps; and strengthening our capital position. By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to changes in market interest rates.

Net Portfolio Value Simulation. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net portfolio value of equity (“NPV”) model. NPV represents the present value of the expected cash flows from our assets less the present value of the expected cash flows arising from our liabilities adjusted for the value of off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio represents the dollar amount of our NPV divided by the present value of our total assets for a given interest rate scenario. NPV attempts to quantify our economic value using a discounted cash flow methodology, while the NPV ratio reflects that value as a form of capital ratio. We estimate what our NPV would be at a specific date. We then calculate what the NPV would be at the same date throughout a series of interest rate scenarios representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. We currently calculate NPV under the assumptions that interest rates increase 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points from current market rates and that interest rates decrease 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points from current market rates.

The following table presents the estimated changes in our net portfolio value that would result from changes in market interest rates as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

As of March 31, 2025:

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 way actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The above table assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the date indicated remains constant uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the table provides 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 on our NPV and will differ from actual results.

The percent changes to NPV in the +200, +300 and +400 bp changes in interest rates was -20.9%, -31.8% and -43.5%, respectively, at March 31, 2025 versus policy limits of -20.0%, -30.0% and -40.0%, respectively. These percent changes were due primarily to the continued migration of deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from less interest-sensitive products such as NOW and demand deposits to products with greater interest rate sensitivity, i.e., money market and time deposits. The percent changes to NPV in the +200, +300 and +400 bp changes in interest rates was -21.2%, -32.0% and -43.6%, respectively, at December 31, 2024 versus policy limits of -20.0%, -30.0% and -40.0%, respectively. These percent changes were due primarily to the migration of deposits during 2024 from less interest-sensitive products such as NOW and demand deposits to products with greater interest rate sensitivity, i.e., money market and time deposits. We monitor our exposure to movements in interest rates regularly and discuss the implementation of strategies we believe will mitigate the negative impact of such movements.

Economic Value of Equity. Like most financial institutions, our profitability depends to a large extent upon our net interest income, which is the difference between our interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and our interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities adjusted for the value of off-balance sheet contracts, such as deposits and borrowed funds. Accordingly, our results of operations depend largely on movements in market interest rates and our ability to manage our interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities in response to these movements. Factors such as inflation and instability in financial markets, among other factors beyond our control, may affect interest rates.

In a rising interest rate environment, we would expect that the rates on our deposits and borrowings would reprice upwards faster than the rates on our long-term loans and investments, which would be expected to compress our interest rate spread and have a negative effect on our profitability. Furthermore, increases in interest rates may adversely affect the ability of our borrowers to make loan repayments on adjustable-rate loans, as the interest owed on such loans would increase as interest rates increase. Conversely, decreases in interest rates can result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance to reduce their borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk as we may have to redeploy such loan or securities proceeds into lower-yielding assets, which might also negatively impact our income. If interest rates rise, we expect that our economic value of equity would decrease. Economic value of equity represents the present value of the expected cash flows from our assets less the present value of the expected cash flows arising from our liabilities. The Company’s economic value of equity analysis as of March 31, 2025 estimated that, in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Company would experience a 20.9% decrease in economic value of equity which was above the policy limit of 20%. At the same date, our analysis estimated that, in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Company would experience a 9.2% increase in the economic value of equity.

Any substantial, unexpected, prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Changes in the level of interest rates also may negatively affect our ability to originate real estate loans, the value of our assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of our assets, all of which ultimately affect our earnings. Also, our interest rate risk modeling techniques and assumptions likely may not fully predict or capture the impact of actual interest rate changes on our balance sheet or projected operating results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of March 31, 2025, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025 for recording, processing, summarizing and reporting the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

The effectiveness of a system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Due to such inherent limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Periodically, we are involved in claims and lawsuits, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which we hold security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to our business. At March 31, 2025, we were not a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Not applicable, as First Seacoast Bancorp, Inc. is a “smaller reporting company.”

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following table summarizes the Company’s repurchases of its outstanding shares of common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2025:

Total		54,816				54,816

On April 11, 2024, the board of directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to 507,707 shares of common stock, representing approximately 10% of shares then outstanding, which became effective on May 14, 2024. On December 12, 2024, the board of directors of the Company authorized additional stock repurchases, up to 228,858 shares of common stock, under this stock repurchase program. The additional repurchase authorization represents approximately 5% of pro forma outstanding shares assuming the repurchase of the remaining shares subject to the original authorization. The Company conducts repurchases through open market purchases, including by means of a trading plan adopted under SEC Rule 10b5-1, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and other factors. There is no guarantee as to the number of shares that the Company may ultimately repurchase. The program will expire 12 months after the effective date, regardless of whether all shares will have been repurchased. On February 7, 2025, the expiration date of the program was extended to December 3, 2025. The Company may suspend or discontinue the program at any time. The Company holds repurchased shares in its treasury. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has repurchased 458,027 shares under this stock repurchase program.

There were no sales of unregistered securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
