During the quarter, we also recognized a pre-tax unrealized gain of $1.5 million, related to the continued resolution of Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. Excluding this item, on a core basis, for the quarter, Unity earned $14.4 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, representing a 2.04% ROA and 16.77% ROE.

As we look ahead to 2026, Unity remains focused on delivering exceptional customer experiences, deepening relationships, and attracting new customers to the franchise. These priorities position us well to sustain our momentum and continue creating long-term value for our shareholders.”


Clinton, NJ -- Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $15.5 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $14.4 million, or $1.41 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, Unity Bancorp reported net income of $58.0 million, or $5.67 per diluted share, compared to net income of $41.5 million, or $4.06 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

Fourth Quarter Earnings Highlights

Net interest income, the primary driver of earnings, was $31.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $1.5 million, as compared to $29.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Net interest margin (“NIM”) increased 6 basis points to 4.60% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the declining rate on interest bearing liabilities.
The provision for credit losses on loans was $2.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.  The provision in the current quarter was primarily driven by loan growth, with additional increases in qualitative adjustments due to increased nonaccrual assets.
--- ---
Noninterest income was $3.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $3.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The $0.9 million increase was primarily due to the substantial unrealized gain associated with Patriot. This was partially offset by lower gain on sale of mortgages.
--- ---
o During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Unity converted its debt security issued by Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. into common stock, resulting in ownership of approximately 2.673 million restricted Patriot shares valued at $0.75 per share. These shares remained restricted as of December 31, 2025, pending Patriot’s registration of the shares or the availability of an applicable exemption and their eligibility for trading on a national securities exchange. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Unity marked the security to $1.30 per share, resulting in a $1.5 million unrealized gain on the Patriot position.
--- ---
Noninterest expense was $13.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $13.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower compensation and benefits expenses, partially offset by increases in loan related expenses, professional services and other expenses. Compensation and benefits expenses declined quarter over quarter due to $0.7 million of one-time accrual reversals.
--- ---
The effective tax rate was 21.4% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 23.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. During the fourth quarter of 2025, Unity purchased $8.0 million of federal tax credits for $7.5 million, resulting in $0.5 million of tax savings. The Company intends to evaluate other tax credit opportunities on an ongoing basis, subject to market availability and regulatory considerations.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total gross loans increased $284.1 million, or 12.6%, from December 31, 2024, primarily due to increases in the commercial, residential mortgage, and commercial construction loan categories. Furthermore, gross loans increased $76.2 million, or 3.1% from September 30, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans was 1.27%.

--- ---

--- ---
Shareholders’ equity was $345.6 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $295.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The $50.0 million increase was primarily driven by 2025 earnings, partially offset by dividend payments and share repurchase activity. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Unity Bancorp, Inc. repurchased 66,296 shares at a weighted average price of $46.55 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Unity Bancorp, Inc. repurchased 116,296 shares at a weighted average price of $43.21 per share.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Unity Bancorp, Inc. retired approximately 1.6 million shares of treasury stock, valued at $35.5 million.

--- ---
Book value per common share was $34.63 as of December 31, 2025, compared to $29.48 as of December 31, 2024. This increase primarily reflects retained earnings offset partially by dividends and share repurchases.
