Exhibit 99.1

Clinton, NJ -- Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $9.9 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to net income of $9.7 million, or $0.95 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. This represents a 2.6% increase in net income and a 2.1% increase in net income per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Unity reported net income of $29.9 million or $2.88 per diluted share, compared to net income of $28.5 million or $2.67 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This represents a 5.0% increase in net income and a 7.9% increase in net income per diluted share.

Third Quarter Earnings Highlights

●	Net interest income, our primary driver of earnings, was $23.5 million for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023. Net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased 8 basis points to 3.96% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 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 $0.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by slower loan growth for the comparative periods.
---	---
●	Non interest income was $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The $0.1 million decrease was primarily due to no gains on SBA loan sales and lower service and loan fee income. The decrease was partially offset by increased BOLI income, which was largely driven by $0.6 million in non-taxable realized gains associated with two separate claims.
---	---
●	Non interest expense was $12.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $11.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher compensation and other expenses and was partially offset by normalized FDIC insurance cost.
---	---
●	The effective tax rate was 23.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to 26.0% for the quarter ending June 30, 2023. The reduction in the current quarter is primarily due to the aforementioned BOLI payouts. Further, Unity Bancorp maintains a captive insurance subsidiary, Unity Risk Management Inc. Treasury recently issued proposed regulations which, if adopted in their current form, may adversely impact the ability of the Company to achieve tax benefits under this arrangement. Management is closely monitoring these developments and is anticipating regulatory resolution in Q4 2023. The captive insurance subsidiary currently saves between an estimated $0.3 million to $0.4 million of federal tax expenses per year.
---	---

Balance Sheet Highlights

●	Total gross loans modestly increased $66.6 million, or 3.2%, 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.
●	As of September 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans was 1.19%.
---	---
●	Total deposits increased $97.4 million, or 5.4%, from December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, 17.3% of total deposits were uninsured or uncollateralized. Further, the Company’s deposit base was 45.4% retail, 26.1% business, 18.0% municipal, and 10.5% Brokered CDs. The Company’s deposit composition as of September 30, 2023, consisted of 29.1% in savings deposits, 22.6% in noninterest bearing demand deposits, 32.5% time deposits and 15.8% in interest-bearing demand deposits.
---	---
●	As of September 30, 2023, the loan to deposit ratio was approximately 115.3%, 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 non-owner occupied CRE lending volumes and continues to execute upon its retail banking deposit gathering strategies.
---	---
●	As of September 30, 2023, investments comprised 5.3% of total assets. Available for sale debt securities (“AFS”) were $92.1 million or 3.6% of total assets. Held to maturity (“HTM”) debt securities were $36.0 million or 1.4% of total assets. As of September 30, 2023, pre-tax net unrealized losses on AFS and HTM were $6.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively. These pre-tax unrealized losses represent approximately 5.8% of the Bancorp’s Tier 1 capital. Equity securities were $8.0 million or 0.3% of total assets as of September 30, 2023.
---	---
●	Borrowed funds increased $5.6 million from December 31, 2022. Borrowed funds were entirely comprised of borrowings from the FHLB.
---	---
●	Shareholders’ equity was $252.4 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $239.2 million as of December 31, 2022. The $13.2 million increase was primarily driven by 2023 earnings, partially offset by share repurchase and dividend payments. In the third quarter of 2023, Unity Bancorp repurchased 43,384 shares for approximately $1.0 million, or a weighted average price of $23.85 per share.
---	---
●	Book value per common share was $24.95 as of September 30, 2023, compared to $22.60 as of December 31, 2022.
---	---

●	Below is a summary of the Company’s regulatory capital ratios:
o	Community Bank Leverage Ratio: 10.76% at September 30, 2023, compared to 10.49% at June 30, 2023 and 10.88% at December 31, 2022.
---	---
o	Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio: 12.16% at September 30, 2023.

---	---
o	Total Capital Ratio: 13.88% at September 30, 2023.
---	---
●	At September 30, 2023, the Company held $161.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. Further, the Company maintained approximately $548.5 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 217.8% of uninsured or uncollateralized deposits.
---	---
●	As of September 30, 2023, nonperforming assets were $18.2 million, compared to $9.1 million of nonperforming assets as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, over 70% of nonperforming loans consisted of residential mortgage loans and residential construction loans, which are well reserved. The Company diligently reviews nonperforming assets and potential problem credits, taking proactive measures to promptly address and resolve any issues.
