BCB Bancorp, Inc. Earns $2.8 Million in Second Quarter 2024;

Reports $0.14 EPS and

Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.16 Per Share

BAYONNE, N.J., July 19, 2024 — BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), (NASDAQ: BCBP), the holding company for BCB Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2024, and $8.6 million for the second quarter of 2023. Earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2024 were $0.14, compared to $0.32 in the preceding quarter and $0.50 in the second quarter of 2023.

During the second quarter, the Bank agreed to sell a pool of its commercial real estate and multifamily loans with a total balance of $38.4 million as of June 30, 2024. The Bank expects to consummate the loan sale during the third quarter. As a result, the Bank recorded a pre-tax loss of $4.6 million as the loans were moved to held for sale from the held for investment category. Additionally, during the second quarter, the Bank sold a non-performing loan that resulted in a pre-tax loss of $288 thousand, and recorded unrealized losses of $222 thousand on its equity securities. Without giving effect to the aforementioned transactions and the unrealized losses on equity securities, the Company’s second quarter net income and earnings per diluted share were $6.4 million and $0.35, respectively.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share. The dividend will be payable on August 16, 2024 to common shareholders of record on August 2, 2024.

“At BCB Community Bank, we remain disciplined and committed to executing our Strategic Plan that will continue to strengthen our balance sheet by enhancing our liquidity and capital positions while also delivering consistent and improving profitability. The Bank was able to enter into an agreement to sell a small portfolio of loans at an attractive price that added liquidity without diluting the Bank’s capital ratios. We are prepared and remain well-positioned to navigate through the current economic environment,” stated Michael Shriner, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets decreased by $38.5 million, or 1.0 percent, to $3.794 billion at June 30, 2024, from $3.832 billion at December 31, 2023. The decrease in total assets was mainly related to a decrease in loans, offset, somewhat, by an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $47.3 million, or 16.9 percent, to $326.9 million at June 30, 2024, from $279.5 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily cash flows from loan payoffs/paydowns that were not redeployed.

Loans receivable, net, decreased by $117.8 million, or 3.6 percent, to $3.162 billion at June 30, 2024, from $3.280 billion at December 31, 2023. Total loan decreases during the period included decreases of $93.7 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans and $19. 6 million in construction loans. 1-4 family residential loans also declined $5.6 million for the same period. Offsetting this was an increase in commercial business loans of $3.2 million. The allowance for credit losses increased $1.6 million to $35.2 million, or 108.6 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.10 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2024, as compared to an allowance for credit losses of $33.6 million, or 178.9 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.01 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2023.

Total investment securities decreased by $1.9 million, or 2.0 percent, to $95.0 million at June 30, 2024, from $96.9 million at December 31, 2023, representing unrealized losses, calls, maturities and repayments.

Deposits decreased by $43.8 million, or 1.5 percent, to $2.935 billion at June 30, 2024, from $2.979 billion at December 31, 2023. Interest bearing demand, savings and club accounts, money market accounts and non-interest-bearing accounts declined by $53.0 million, offset by a $9.1 million increase in certificates of deposit.

Debt obligations increased by $275 thousand to $510.7 million at June 30, 2024 from $510.4 million at December 31, 2023. The weighted average interest rate of FHLB advances was 4.21 percent at June 30, 2024 and 4.21 percent at December 31, 2023. The weighted average maturity of FHLB advances as of June 30, 2024 was 1.44 years. The interest rate of the Company’s subordinated debt balances was 8.31 percent at June 30, 2024 and 8.36 percent at December 31, 2023.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $6.7 million, or 2.1 percent, to $320.7 million at June 30, 2024, from $314.1 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was attributable to an increase in the additional paid in capital attributable to its preferred stock of $3.4 million, or 13.4 percent, to $28.4 million at June 30, 2024, and an increase in retained earnings of $2.4 million, or 1.8 percent, to $138.3 million at June 30, 2024 from $135.9 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in its preferred stock paid in capital was due to the issuance of 336 shares of its Series J Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock during the six-month period.

Second Quarter 2024Income Statement Review

Net income was $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $8.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The decline was primarily driven by a $4.9 million loss on the sale of loans in the second quarter of 2024 and lower net interest income, which decreased $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared with the second quarter of 2023. This was offset, somewhat, by a lower tax provision of $2.3 million and a decrease in non-interest expense of $719 thousand.

Net interest income decreased by $3.4 million, or 12.4 percent, to $23.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, from $27.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in net interest income resulted from higher interest expense which was partially offset by higher interest income.

Interest income increased by $2.2 million, or 4.7 percent, to $49.4 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $47.2 million for the second quarter of 2023. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $55.4 million, or 1.5 percent, to $3.639 billion for the second quarter of 2024 from $3.695 billion for the second quarter of 2023, while the average yield increased 32 basis points to 5.43 percent for the second quarter of 2024 from 5.11 percent for the second quarter of 2023.

BCBP Reports First Quarter 2024 Earnings

Page 3

Interest expense increased by $5.6 million to $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $20.2 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 76 basis points to 3.56 percent for the second quarter of 2024 from 2.80 percent for the second quarter of 2023, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $6.03 million to $2.897 billion for the second quarter of 2024 from $2.891 billion for the second quarter of 2023.

The net interest margin was 2.60 percent for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2.92 percent for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in the net interest margin compared to the second quarter of 2023 was the result of the increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities partially offset by the increase in the yield on interest-earning assets.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recognized $1.8 million in net charge-offs compared to $27 thousand in net charge offs for the second quarter of 2023. The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $32.4 million, or 1.01 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2024 as compared to $18.8 million, or 0.57 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $35.2 million, or 1.10 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2024, and $33.6 million, or 1.01 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2023. The provision for credit losses was $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses on loans was adequate at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Non-interest income decreased by $4.4 million to a net loss of $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2024 from a net gain of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in total non-interest income was mainly related to the aforementioned $4.9 million loss on the sale of loans.

Non-interest expense decreased by $719 thousand, or 4.9 percent, to $14.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $14.7 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in these expenses for the second quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by a lesser amount of salaries and employee benefits expense, which declined $719 thousand.

The income tax provision decreased by $2.3 million, or 66.3 percent, to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. The consolidated effective tax rate was 29.2 percent for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 28.6 percent for the second quarter of 2023.

Year-to-Date Income Statement Review

Net income decreased by $8.0 million, or 48.0 percent, to $8.7 million for the first six months of 2024 from $16.7 million for the first six months of 2023. The decrease in net income was driven, primarily, by lower net interest income of $7.7 million, or 14.1 percent.

Net interest income decreased by $7.7 million, or 14.1 percent, to $46.8 million for the first six months of 2024 from $54.5 million for the first six months of 2023. The decrease in net interest income resulted from an increase in interest expense of $16.8 million, partly offset by an increase in interest income of $9.1 million.

Interest income increased by $9.1 million, or 10.2 percent, to $98.7 million for the first six months of 2024, from $89.6 million for the first six months of 2023. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $79.7 million, or 2.2 percent, to $3.669 billion for the first six months of 2024, from $3.590 billion for the first six months of 2023, while the average yield increased 39 basis points to 5.38 percent from 4.99 percent for the same comparable period. The increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets mainly related to an increase in the Company’s level of average interest- bearing bank balances and loans receivable for the first six months of 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.

Interest expense increased by $16.8 million, or 47.9 percent, to $51.9 million for 2024, from $35.1 million for 2023. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 102 basis points to 3.55 percent for the first six months of 2024, from 2.53 percent for the first six months of 2023, and an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $150.6 million, or 5.4 percent, to $2.927 billion from $2.777 billion over the same period. The increase in the average cost of funds primarily resulted from the higher interest rate environment in the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

BCBP Reports First Quarter 2024 Earnings

July 19, 2024

Page 4

Net interest margin was 2.55 percent for the first six months of 2024, compared to 3.03 percent for the first six months of 2023. The decrease in the net interest margin compared to the prior period was the result of an increase in the cost of the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities.

During the first six months of 2024, the Company experienced $2.9 million in net charge offs compared to $25 thousand in net recoveries for the same period in 2023. The provision for credit losses was $4.5 million for the first six months of 2024 compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2023.

Non-interest income decreased by $579 thousand to a loss of $1.1 million for the first six months of 2024 from a loss of $546 thousand for the first six months of 2023. Losses on sale of loans increased $4.8 million which was offset by an increase in realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities of $3.8 million, and an increase in BOLI income of $658 thousand. The realized and unrealized gains or losses on equity investments are based on market conditions.

Non-interest expense increased by $265 thousand, or 0.9 percent, to $28.8 million for the first six months of 2024 from $28.6 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in operating expenses for 2024 was driven primarily by increases in the off-balance sheet reserves of $921 thousand and $763 thousand in regulatory assessments. This was offset by the Bank recording $1.4 million less in salaries and employee benefits.

The income tax provision decreased by $3.0 million or 45.7 percent, to $3.6 million for the first six months of 2024 from $6.7 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in the income tax provision was a result of the lower taxable income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The consolidated effective tax rate was 29.4 percent for the first six months of 2024 compared to 28.5 percent for the first six months of 2023.

Asset Quality

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recognized $1.8 million in net charge offs, compared to $27 thousand in net charge offs for the second quarter of 2023.

The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $32.4 million, or 1.01 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2024, as compared to $5.7 million, or 0.17 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses was $35.2 million, or 1.10 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2024, and $30.2 million, or 0.90 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses was 108.6 percent of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2024, and 530.3 percent of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2023.
