Exhibit 99.1

Graphic

Clinton, NJ -- Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $10.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to net income of $10.0 million, or $0.93 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. This represents a 3.0% increase in net income and a 3.2% increase in net income per diluted share.

First Quarter Earnings Highlights

Net interest income, our primary driver of earnings, decreased $0.8 million to $23.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $24.7 million for the prior quarter. Net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased 28 basis points to 4.19% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing faster than the yield of interest-earning assets.
The provision for loan losses for loans was $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.  The decrease was largely due to lower loan growth.  Refer to the Balance Sheet Highlights section for further considerations regarding the adoption of the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) accounting standard.
--- ---
Non-interest income was $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The $0.5 million decrease was primarily driven by mark-to-market decreases on the Company’s equity portfolio, which is primarily comprised of bank stocks. The decrease was complemented by lower servicing and loan fee income resulting from less prepayment penalties. The decrease was partially offset by increased realized gains on the sale of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans.
--- ---
Non-interest expense was $11.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The quarter ended March 31, 2023 included $0.5 million of one-time expenses due to the resignation of the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer.
--- ---
The effective tax rate was 25.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to 27.0% for the quarter ending December 31, 2022.
--- ---

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total gross loans modestly increased $24.4 million, or 1.2%, from December 31, 2022 primarily due to increases in commercial loans and residential mortgage loans. In Q1 2023, the Company sold $7.1 million of portfolio residential mortgage loans and $3.5 million of SBA held for sale loans, realizing gains of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
The Company adopted the CECL accounting standard effective January 1, 2023. As a result, the adoption increased the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) by $0.8 million, as well as increased the reserve for unfunded credit commitments by $0.1 million. Further associated with CECL adoption, there was a decrease to retained earnings of $0.6 million, net of tax.  As of March 31, 2023, the ACL as a percentage of gross loans was 1.23%.
--- ---
Total deposits increased $36.4 million, or 2.0%, from December 31, 2022 to $1.8 billion as of March 31, 2023.  As of March 31, 2023, 18% of total deposits were uninsured and the average deposit account size was approximately $38,000. Further, the Bank’s deposit base was 44.8% retail, 27.1 % business, 17.3% municipal, and 10.8% Brokered CDs.
--- ---
As of March 31, 2023, the loan to deposit ratio was approximately 116.8%, which is above the Company’s target threshold of 110%. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Bank opened a new branch in Fort Lee, New Jersey to expand its footprint in Bergen County, New Jersey. Additionally, Unity plans to open its first Morris County, New Jersey location in the summer of 2023.  Further, the Company is reducing transactional-based lending and focusing on lending to owner-occupied businesses that will result in full banking relationships including primary deposit accounts.
--- ---
As of March 31, 2023, investments comprised 5.6% of total assets. Available for sale debt securities (“AFS”) were $94.1 million or 3.8% of total assets. Held to maturity (“HTM”) debt securities were $35.8 million or 1.4% of total assets. As of March 31, 2023, pre-tax adjusted net unrealized losses on AFS and HTM were $4.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively. These pre-tax unrealized losses represent approximately 4.4% of the Bank’s capital. Equity securities were $8.3 million or 0.3% of total assets as of March 31, 2023.
--- ---
Borrowed funds decreased $9.0 million from year-end 2022 due to net deposit inflows during the quarter. Borrowed funds were entirely comprised of borrowings from the FHLB.
--- ---
Shareholders’ equity was $240.5 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $239.2 million at year-end 2022. The $1.3 million increase was primarily driven by first quarter 2023 earnings and equity-based compensation share issuance, partially offset by share repurchase activities in the first quarter of 2023. Throughout the first quarter of 2023, Unity Bancorp repurchased 337,945 shares for approximately $8.2 million, or a weighted average price of $24.29 per share.
--- ---
Book value per common share was $23.34 as of March 31, 2023, compared to $22.60 as of December 31, 2022.
--- ---
At March 31, 2023, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio was 10.38%, compared to 10.88% at December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by share repurchases, as well as, a higher average asset base for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
--- ---
At March 31, 2023, the Company held $127.1 million of cash on hand. Further, the Company maintained approximately $316.9 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 132.6% of uninsured deposits.
--- ---
As of March 31, 2023, nonperforming assets were $14.7 million gross, and $11.1 million net, of the guarantee by the SBA, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, nonperforming assets were $9.1 million gross and net of the SBA guarantee. As of March 31, 2023, criticized, classified and nonaccrual assets were $35.4 million gross, and $31.7 million net, of the SBA guarantee, respectively. The Company diligently oversees nonperforming assets and potential problem credits, taking proactive measures to promptly address and resolve any issues.
