Graphic

Clinton, NJ -- Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $9.5 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income of $9.6 million, or $0.93 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. This represents a 1.4% decrease in net income and no change in net income per diluted share.  For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Unity Bancorp reported net income of $19.0 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, compared to net income of $20.0 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This represents a 4.7% decrease in net income and a 2.6% decrease in net income per diluted share.

Second Quarter Earnings Highlights

Net interest income, the primary driver of earnings, was $23.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.4 million, as compared to $23.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased 8 basis points to 4.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024. 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 on loans was $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.  The provision in the current quarter was primarily driven by increases in the specific reserve.
--- ---
Provision for credit losses on Available For Sale (“AFS”) debt securities was $0.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to no provision for the prior quarter. The impairment was entirely attributable to the same corporate debt security for which a partial provision was taken in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company owns $5 million in par of this position and moved the position into non-accrual status during the three months ending June 30, 2024. The net carrying value of the position was $3.1 million as of June 30, 2024.
--- ---
Noninterest income was $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The $0.3 million increase was primarily due to increased BOLI income, other income and gain on sale of SBA loans. Other income is primarily comprised of interchange & wire fee revenues. The Bank sold $3.9 million of SBA loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $2.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
--- ---
Noninterest expense was $12.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $12.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.  The decrease was primarily driven by lower compensation and benefit expenses, partially offset by increased furniture & equipment expense.
--- ---
The effective tax rate was 24.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to 25.0% for the quarter ending March 31, 2024.
--- ---

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total gross loans decreased $1.5 million, or 0.1%, from December 31, 2023, primarily due to decreases in the residential construction and residential mortgage categories. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the commercial loan category.
As of June 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans was 1.20%.
--- ---
Total deposits increased $86.7 million, or 4.5%, from December 31, 2023.  As of June 30, 2024, 18.3% of total deposits were uninsured or uncollateralized. The Company’s deposit composition as of June 30, 2024, consisted of 21.0% in noninterest bearing demand deposits, 15.0% in interest-bearing demand deposits, 27.5% in savings deposits, and 36.5% in time deposits.
--- ---
As of June 30, 2024, the loan to deposit ratio was 107.9%, representing a continued reduction from 112.9% as of December 31, 2023. Because the Company is in compliance with its 110% threshold, management plans to expand lending initiatives to non-owner occupied borrowers.
--- ---
As of June 30, 2024, investments comprised 5.6% of total assets. Available for sale debt securities (“AFS”) were $99.1 million or 3.8% of total assets. Held to maturity (“HTM”) debt securities were $36.2 million or 1.4% of total assets. As of June 30, 2024, pre-tax net unrealized losses on AFS and HTM were $4.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively. These pre-tax unrealized losses represent approximately 4.2% of the Company’s Tier 1 capital. Equity securities were $9.9 million or 0.4% of total assets as of June 30, 2024.
--- ---
Borrowed funds decreased $81.6 million from December 31, 2023. Borrowed funds were entirely comprised of borrowings from the FHLB.
--- ---
Shareholders’ equity was $273.4 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $261.4 million as of December 31, 2023. The $12.0 million increase was primarily driven by 2024 earnings, partially offset by share repurchases and dividend payments. In the first half of 2024, Unity Bancorp repurchased 218,768 shares for approximately $5.9 million, or a weighted average price of $27.04 per share. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Unity Bancorp repurchased 68,771 shares for approximately $1.8 million, or a weighted average price of $26.77 per share.
--- ---
Book value per common share was $27.41 as of June 30, 2024, compared to $25.98 as of December 31, 2023. This increase primarily reflects earnings offset by dividend payouts and share repurchases.
--- ---
