CF BANKSHARES INC., PARENT OF CFBANK NA, REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE 1st QUARTER 2026.

Columbus, Ohio – May 5, 2026 – CF Bankshares Inc. (NASDAQ: CFBK) (the “Company”), the parent of CFBank, National Association (“CFBank”), today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

• Net income was $5.0 million ($0.77 per diluted common share) for Q1 2026, which represents a 13% increase over Q1 2025.

• Pre-provision, pre-tax net revenue (PPNR) for Q1 2026 was $6.5 million, which represents a 5.4%increase over Q1 2025.

• Return on Average Equity (ROE) was 10.74% for Q1 2026, while Return on Average Assets (ROA) was 0.97%.

• Net Interest Margin (NIM) increased 5bps for Q1 2026 when compared to Q1 2025.

• Noninterest income increased $281,000, or 23% when compared to Q1 2025. This was driven by a $172,000 (26%) increase in Customer Fees, including Treasury Management products and services.

• Core Commercial Net Loan Growth totaled $45 million in Q1, which was net of $100 million of payoffs and amortization. This represents an annualized growth rate of 15%.

CEO and Board Chair Commentary

Timothy T. O’Dell, President and CEO, commented “Our Q1 earnings totaled $5.0 million. Earnings for the first quarter of 2026 were impacted by the timing of commercial loan fundings and loan payoffs. Net core commercial loan growth for the first quarter totaled $45 million, representing an annualized core commercial loan growth rate of 15%.

Commercial loan payoffs occurred early in, and steadily throughout, the quarter, while heavier loan fundings and net loan growth were concentrated in the final ten days of Q1. This timing dynamic of loan fundings, combined with elevated loan payoffs, impacted average loans outstanding during the quarter and resulted in lower interest income. We expect to see the interest income benefit of Q1 net loan growth beginning in the second quarter.

Commercial loan and deposit pipelines remain strong, underscoring our expectations for continued solid growth within the Commercial Bank. Scaling the Commercial Bank remains a top strategic objective. Recent loan fundings also include adding new full C&I banking relationships. Another key strategic objective is improving overall loan mix and diversification.

Our expanded CF Commercial Banking teams continue to demonstrate our ability to compete effectively with regional banks and other larger competitors to win high-quality banking relationships.

In addition to our focus on commercial loan and deposit growth, initiatives are underway to increase fee based (non‑interest) income. Q1 results reflected a 23% increase in overall non-interest income when compared to Q1 2025. These initiatives include expanding

residential mortgage salable loan volumes, increasing treasury management service fees, and utilizing interest rate swaps to grow non‑interest fee income. Going forward, we expect to see increasing earnings lift from our focused investment from these fee‑generating business activities.

NIM expanded modestly when compared to Q1 2025, while overcoming pressures from large Deposit Clients to receive greater Interest Income.

Overall business opportunities and pipelines remain robust. Our investment in increasing the depth of our regional market teams across Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis is paying off. We are attracting additional proven Business developers and proven Rainmakers.

With loan payoffs expected to decline in subsequent quarters, coupled with expected increases in deal flow driven by expanded production capacity from our deepened regional teams, we believe the table is set to add greater size and scale moving forward.”

Robert E. Hoeweler, Chairman of the Board, added “We believe our Bank is particularly well positioned to leverage the strength of our Commercial Banking Team & Franchise to achieve scalable growth.”

Overview of Results

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $5.0 million (or $0.77 per diluted common share) compared to net income of $5.7 million (or $0.88 per dilut
