Exhibit 99.1

Graphic

Clinton, NJ -- Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $9.7 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to net income of $10.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This represents a 5.7% decrease in net income and a 1.0% decrease in net income per diluted share.  For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Unity reported net income of $20.0 million or $1.91 per diluted share, compared to net income of $18.6 million or $1.74 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This represents a 7.7% increase in net income and a 9.8% increase in net income per diluted share.

Second Quarter Earnings Highlights

Net interest income, our primary driver of earnings, decreased $0.4 million to $23.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $23.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased 15 basis points to 4.04% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing faster than the yield of interest-earning assets.
The provision for credit losses was $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.  The increase was primarily driven by loan growth and increased losses related to certain Consumer and Small Business Administration (“SBA”) credits.
--- ---
Non-interest income was $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The $0.7 million increase was primarily driven by increased realized gains related to the sale of mortgage loans and SBA loans. This was complemented by reduced mark-to-market decreases in the Company’s equity portfolio, which is primarily comprised of bank common and preferred shares.
--- ---
Non-interest expense was $11.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $11.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.  The increase was primarily driven by increased FDIC deposit insurance expense.
--- ---
The effective tax rate was 26.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to 25.4% for the quarter ending March 31, 2023.
--- ---

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total gross loans modestly increased $60.8 million, or 2.9%, from December 31, 2022, primarily due to increases in commercial loans and residential mortgage loans. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the residential construction loan category. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company sold $6.3 million of portfolio residential mortgage loans and $6.0 million of SBA held for sale loans, realizing gains of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans was 1.20%.
--- ---
Total deposits increased $62.0 million, or 3.5%, from December 31, 2022, to $1.85 billion as of June 30, 2023.  As of June 30, 2023, 18.2% of total deposits were uninsured and the average deposit account size was approximately $37 thousand. Further, the Bank’s deposit base was 45.7% retail, 26.3% business, 17.6% municipal, and 10.4% Brokered CDs.
--- ---
As of June 30, 2023, the loan to deposit ratio was approximately 117.2%, which is above the Company’s target threshold of 110%. Consistent with the prior quarter and to bring the ratio in line with the Company’s target, Unity is intentionally reducing commercial investment property CRE lending volumes and continues to execute upon its retail banking deposit gathering strategies.
--- ---
As of June 30, 2023, investments comprised 5.4% of total assets. Available for sale debt securities (“AFS”) were $93.0 million or 3.7% of total assets. Held to maturity (“HTM”) debt securities were $35.9 million or 1.4% of total assets. As of June 30, 2023, pre-tax net unrealized losses on AFS and HTM were $6.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively. These pre-tax unrealized losses represent approximately 5.0% of the Bank’s capital. Equity securities were $8.2 million or 0.3% of total assets as of June 30, 2023.
--- ---
Borrowed funds increased $40.0 million from December 31, 2022. Borrowed funds were entirely comprised of borrowings from the FHLB.
--- ---
Shareholders’ equity was $244.1 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $239.2 million as of December 31, 2022. The $4.9 million increase was primarily driven by 2023 earnings, partially offset by share repurchase and dividend payments. In the second quarter of 2023, Unity Bancorp repurchased 225,000 shares for approximately $5.1 million, or a weighted average price of $22.82 per share.
--- ---
Book value per common share was $24.12 as of June 30, 2023, compared to $22.60 as of December 31, 2022.
--- ---
Below is a summary of the Bancorp’s regulatory capital:
--- ---
o Community Bank Leverage Ratio: 10.49% at June 30, 2023, compared to 10.38% at March 31, 2023 and 10.88% at December 31, 2022.

At June 30, 2023, the Company held $151.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. Further, the Company maintained approximately $450.2 million of funding available from various funding sources, including the FHLB, FRB Discount Window, and other lines of credit. Total available funding plus cash on hand represented 179.0% of uninsured deposits.
--- ---
As of June 30, 2023, nonperforming assets were $16.5 million. As of December 31, 2022, nonperforming assets were $9.1 million. As of June 30, 2023, criticized, classified and nonaccrual assets were $36.8 million. Over 70% of nonperforming loans consisted of residential mortgage loans and residential construction loans, which have historically resulted in lower net charge off levels. The Company diligently reviews nonperforming assets and potential problem credits, taking proactive measures to promptly address and resolve any issues.
