Graphic

Clinton, NJ -- Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $11.6 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to net income of $11.5 million, or $1.13 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. This represents a 0.8% increase in net income.

First Quarter Earnings Highlights

Net interest income, the primary driver of earnings, was $27.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.8 million, as compared to $26.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Net interest margin (“NIM”) increased 9 basis points to 4.46% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreasing, complemented by an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets.
The provision for credit losses on loans was $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.  The provision in the current quarter was primarily driven by loan growth.
--- ---
There was no provision for credit losses on Available For Sale (“AFS”) debt securities for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as compared to a provision of $0.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, Unity entered into a modification agreement with the issuer of the troubled AFS debt security. Prior to the modification, Unity held the $5.0 million par of the original senior debt security. As a component of the modification agreement, $2.1 million par of senior debt was converted to common equity of the issuer. The common equity was held as restricted equity as of March 31, 2025.
--- ---
Noninterest income was $2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The $0.2 million increase was primarily due to increased service & loan fee income. This increase was offset by lower gains on sale of mortgage loans. The Bank sold $1.2 million of SBA loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.4 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, the Bank sold $1.0 million of AFS debt securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and realized an $11 thousand loss.
--- ---
Noninterest expense was $12.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, level with the quarter ended December 31, 2024. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there were one-time expenses of $0.2 million related to the resignation of a Director. The resignation was not in connection with any disagreement with the Company or the Bank. For the quarter ending March 31, 2025, employee benefits recorded in the Salaries and Benefits line item, were $1.2 million, compared to $1.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
--- ---
The effective tax rate was 24.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to 20.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
--- ---

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total gross loans increased $84.5 million, or 3.7%, from December 31, 2024, primarily due to increases in the commercial  and mortgage loan categories. This was partially offset by decreases in the residential construction category.
As of March 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans was 1.18%.
--- ---
Total deposits increased $75.1 million, or 3.6%, from December 31, 2024.  As of March 31, 2025, 20.0% of total deposits were uninsured or uncollateralized.

--- ---
Book value per common share was $30.38 as of March 31, 2025, compared to $29.48 as of December 31, 2024. This increase primarily reflects earnings partially offset by dividend payouts.
