Insights
BCB Bancorp reported a significant Q1 loss driven by credit deterioration, particularly a large cannabis loan reserve, while maintaining dividend despite earnings pressure.
BCB Bancorp's Q1 2025 results reveal a dramatic shift from profitability to a $8.3 million net loss (-$0.51 per share), compared to $5.9 million profit a year ago. The loss stems primarily from credit quality deterioration, with the bank establishing a $13.7 million specific reserve for a $34.2 million cannabis sector loan and an additional $3.1 million reserve for their discontinued Business Express Loan portfolio.
Credit metrics show concerning trends. Non-accrual loans surged to $99.8 million (3.36% of gross loans), compared to $44.7 million last quarter and $22.2 million a year ago. The bank noted that over 60% of non-accrual loans remain current on payments, including the cannabis loan, but were downgraded based on borrowers' deteriorating financial conditions. The allowance coverage ratio fell to 51.6% of non-accrual loans, down from 77.8% last quarter and 155.4% a year ago.
The provision for credit losses jumped to $20.8 million, significantly higher than the $4.2 million in Q4 2024 and $2.1 million in Q1 2024. Net charge-offs increased to $4.2 million from $1.1 million a year ago.
On a more positive note, the net interest margin improved slightly to 2.59% from 2.50% a year ago, and the efficiency ratio of 61.6% showed modest improvement from 62.1% last quarter. The bank reduced its wholesale funding exposure by decreasing brokered deposits by $112.5 million.
Balance sheet trends show strategic deleveraging, with total assets decreasing 3.5% to $3.474 billion, loans decreasing 2.6% to $2.918 billion, and deposits declining 2.3% to $2.687 billion. The bank maintained a $0.16 quarterly dividend despite the loss, signaling management's belief that capital levels remain adequate to absorb these credit issues.
Management noted they've bolstered their credit risk team with new hires and implemented a more conservative risk framework to address these challenges, while affirming the bank remains well-capitalized due to capital actions taken throughout 2024.

“While these credit actions have impacted short-term results, they reflect our disciplined and proactive approach to risk management,” added Mr. Shriner. “Thanks to the positive capital actions taken throughout 2024, we remain well-capitalized, giving us the flexibility to address credit challenges head-on.”
“BCB Bank has bolstered its credit risk team with new hires who we believe bring deep expertise and a rigorous approach to underwriting,” said Mr. Shriner. “These efforts are part of a broader initiative to strengthen our credit quality oversight. Following a comprehensive portfolio review using a conservative risk framework, we’ve adjusted the risk ratings on a number of loans to better reflect current market realities. Importantly, the majority of our customers remain current on their payments, and our team is actively engaging with borrowers to secure updated financials and support improved risk profiles.”

We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of said safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations of the Company, are generally identified by use of words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “strive,” “try,” or future or conditional verbs such as “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effects of our plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from anticipated results.
The most significant factor that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include the ongoing impact of global tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, higher inflation levels, and general economic and recessionary concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause increased loan delinquencies, a reduction in financial transactions and business activities, including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations, our ability to manage liquidity and capital in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market, supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages. Other factors that could cause future results to vary materially from current management expectations as reflected in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the global impact of the military conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East; unfavorable economic conditions in the United States generally and particularly in our primary market area; the Company’s ability to effectively attract and deploy deposits; changes in the Company’s corporate strategies, the composition of its assets, or the way in which it funds those assets; shifts in investor sentiment or behavior in the securities, capital, or other financial markets, including changes in market liquidity or volatility; the effects of declines in real estate values that may adversely impact the collateral underlying our loans; increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth; our level of non-performing assets and the costs associated with resolving any problem loans including litigation and other costs; the impact of changes in interest rates and the credit quality and strength of underlying collateral and the effect of such changes on the market value of our loan and investment securities portfolios; the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio; changes in the quality and composition of the Bank’s loan and investment portfolios; changes in our ability to access cost-effective funding; deposit flows; legislative and regulatory changes, including increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance rates; monetary and fiscal policies of the federal and state governments; changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities; demands for our loan products; demand for financial services; competition; changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets; changes in management’s business strategies; changes in consumer spending; our ability to hire and retain key employees; the effects of any reputational, credit, interest rate, market, operational, legal, liquidity, or regulatory risk; expanding regulatory requirements which could adversely affect operating results; civil unrest in the communities that we serve; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this report, and in other reports we filed with the SEC, including under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our other periodic reports that we file with the SEC.
