Insights

Q3 showed solid earnings growth on loan-driven NII and stable funding costs.

Unity Bancorp delivered stronger profitability, with Q3 $14.4M net income and diluted EPS of $1.41. Loan yields lifted interest income to $44.4M, while total interest expense of $14.5M was roughly flat year over year, expanding net interest income to $29.9M.

Credit costs remained manageable: loans provisioned $1.4M, and securities saw a release, consistent with the year-to-date $2.8M release. Noninterest income of $3.0M benefited from securities gains and loan sale activity; expenses increased on compensation and processing.

Balance sheet growth continued with loans at $2.47B and deposits at $2.27B as of Sept 30, 2025. Actual impact on margins and credit trends will be clearer in subsequent filings, given evolving funding competition and interest-rate dynamics.

Unity Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2025

NOTE 1. Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Unity Bancorp, Inc. (the "Parent Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unity Bank (the "Bank" or when consolidated with the Parent Company, the "Company"). The Bank has multiple subsidiaries used to hold part of its investment, and loan portfolios and which may be used to hold other real estate owned when the Bank takes title to properties securing loans. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation, with no impact on current earnings or shareholders’ equity. The financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and has not been audited. In preparing the financial statements, Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Amounts requiring the use of significant estimates include the allowance for credit losses. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate. While Management uses available information to recognize credit losses, future additions to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, changes in customer-related circumstances, and the general credit quality of the loan portfolio.

The interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and consist of normal recurring adjustments, that in the opinion of Management, are necessary for the fair presentation of interim results. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. As used in this Form 10-Q, “we” and “us” and “our” refer to Unity Bancorp, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiary, Unity Bank, depending on the context. Certain information and financial disclosures required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from interim reporting pursuant to SEC rules. Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company continues to operate as a single reportable segment as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Risks and Uncertainties

Overall, the markets and customers serviced by the Company may be significantly impacted by ongoing macro-economic trends, such as pressures created by a lower interest rate environment, uncertainty surrounding tariffs and the impact of uncertain or changing political conditions or any current or future federal government shutdown and uncertainty regarding the federal government’s debt limit or changes in fiscal, monetary, trade or regulatory policy. Additionally, the Company assesses the impact of inflation on an ongoing basis.

Market conditions and external factors may unpredictably impact the competitive landscape for deposits in the banking industry. Additionally, the current interest rate environment has increased competition for liquidity. The Company believes the sources of liquidity presented in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are sufficient to meet its needs as of the balance sheet date.

An unexpected withdrawal of deposits could adversely impact the Company's ability to rely on organic deposits to primarily fund its operations, potentially requiring greater reliance on secondary sources of liquidity to meet withdrawal demands or to fund continuing operations. These sources may include proceeds from Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, sales of securities and loans, federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks, out-of-market time deposits and other wholesale funding sources.

Such reliance on secondary funding sources could increase the Company's overall cost of funding and thereby reduce net income. While the Company believes its current sources of liquidity are adequate to fund operations, there is no

10

guarantee they will suffice to meet future liquidity demands. This may necessitate slowing or discontinuing loan growth, capital expenditures or other investments, or liquidating assets.

New Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2025

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”, requires public entities to enhance transparency of certain income tax related disclosures, including the rate reconciliation and taxes paid disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 effective January 1, 2025, noting no material impact.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, requires public entities to provide further disclosure surrounding expenses, including but not limited to, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. ASU 2025-01 clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2026. The Company expects ASU 2024-03 to have no material impact to its financials.

NOTE 2. Litigation

The Company may, in the ordinary course of business, become a party to litigation involving collection matters, contract claims and other legal proceedings relating to the conduct of its business. In the best judgment of Management, based upon consultation with counsel, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company will not be affected materially by the final outcome of any pending legal proceedings or other contingent liabilities and commitments.

NOTE 3. Net Income per Share

Basic net income per common share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Common shares include vested and unvested restricted shares.

Diluted net income per common share is computed similarly to that of basic net income per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, principally stock options, were issued during the reporting period utilizing the treasury stock method.

The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted income per share:

NOTE 5. Fair Value

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed as follows:

Level 1 Inputs

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Generally, this includes debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market (i.e. New York Stock Exchange), as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2 Inputs

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (i.e. interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.”
Generally, this includes U.S. Government and sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.

Level 3 Inputs

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

13

Table of Contents

These assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Debt Securities Available for Sale

As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s AFS debt securities portfolio was $82.1 million. Most of the Company’s AFS debt securities were classified as Level 2 assets at September 30, 2025. The valuation of AFS debt securities using Level 2 inputs was primarily determined using the market approach, which uses quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and all other relevant information. It includes third-party model pricing, defined as valuing securities based upon their relationship with other benchmark securities.

Included in the Company’s AFS debt securities are select corporate bonds which are classified as Level 3 assets at September 30, 2025.  The valuation of these corporate bonds is determined using broker quotes, third-party vendor prices, or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow techniques. Market inputs used in the other valuation techniques or underlying third-party vendor prices or broker quotes include benchmark and government bond yield curves, credit spreads and trade execution data. 

Equity Securities

As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s equity securities portfolio was $12.7 million. Most of the Company’s equity marketable securities were classified as Level 1 assets at September 30, 2025.

Included in the Company’s equity securities is restricted stock which is classified as a Level 3 asset at September 30, 2025. The valuation of this restricted stock is determined using broker quotes, third-party vendor prices, or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow techniques. Market inputs used in the other valuation techniques or underlying third-party vendor prices or broker quotes include benchmark and government bond yield curves, credit spreads and trade execution data.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Level 3 securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company’s derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 assets, as the readily observable market inputs to these models are validated to external sources, such as industry pricing services, or are corroborated through recent trades, dealer quotes, yield curves, implied volatility or other market-related data.

There were no material changes in the inputs or methodologies used to determine fair value during the period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the periods ended December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

Certain assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Collateral-Dependent Loans

Fair value is determined based on the fair value of the collateral and is measured for impairment based upon a third-party appraisal. When an updated appraisal is received for a nonperforming loan, the value on the appraisal may be discounted. If there is a deficiency in the value after the Company applies these discounts, Management applies a specific reserve and the loan remains in nonaccrual status. The receipt of an updated appraisal would not qualify as a reason to put a loan back into accruing status. The Company removes loans from nonaccrual status generally when the ability to collect is reasonably assured or when the loan is brought current as to principal and interest. Charge-offs are determined based upon the loss that Management believes the Company will incur after evaluating collateral for impairment based upon the valuation methods described above and the ability of the borrower to pay any deficiency.

The allowance for individually evaluated loans is included in the allowance for credit losses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2025, the allowance for individually evaluated loans was $0.7 million, compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2024.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including those financial instruments for which the Company did not elect the fair value option. These estimated fair values as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of alternative market assumptions and estimation methodologies could

16

Table of Contents

have had a material effect on these estimates of fair value. The methodology for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis is discussed above.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Securities

The fair value of securities is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated by using a market approach that includes significant other observable inputs.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan, except for previously discussed loans.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. carrying value). The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates.

Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting the projected future cash flows using current market rates.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the effect of fair value estimates have not been considered in the above estimates.

There was a $2.8 million release for credit losses on securities for the the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a $0.6 million provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Unity converted its remaining debt security issued by Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. into common stock. As of September 30, 2025, Unity held approximately 2.673 million shares of restricted Patriot common stock, internally valued at $0.75 per share. These shares remain restricted pending registration by Patriot (or such other time that an exemption from registration is available permitting the removal of such restrictions) and eligibility for trading on a national securities exchange. Based on the restriction on redemption, management’s assessment of the expected duration of such restriction, and external pricing indications obtained through the redemption notice, the internally developed fair value estimate of $0.75 per share was determined to be reasonable. In connection with the conversion, Unity released $0.8 million from the reserve for credit losses on securities and recognized a one-time unrealized gain of $0.2 million through net securities gains.

The contractual maturities of AFS and HTM debt securities at September 30, 2025 are set forth in the following table. Maturities may differ from contractual maturities in residential mortgage-backed securities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be prepaid without any penalties. Therefore, residential mortgage-backed securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following summary.

Unrealized losses in each of the categories presented in the tables above were primarily driven by market interest rate fluctuations. Residential mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by either Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.

The Company is using the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest receivable from credit loss measurement. At September 30, 2025, there was $1.4 million of accrued interest on securities. At December 31, 2024, there was $1.2 million of accrued interest on securities.

Securities with a carrying value of $79.4 million and $11.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were held at the FHLB or FRB and were pledged for borrowing purposes; however, there were no securities borrowed against at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Realized Gains and Losses on Debt Securities

Net realized gains (losses) on debt securities are included in noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income as net security gains (losses). There were no losses on AFS debt securities during the three months ended

20

Table of Contents

September 30, 2025 and $11 thousand in losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to no realized gains or losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. There were no realized gains or losses on HTM debt securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Equity Securities

Included in this category are Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") investments and the Company’s current other equity holdings of financial institutions. Equity securities are defined to include (a) preferred, common and other ownership interests in entities including partnerships, joint ventures and limited liability companies and (b) rights to acquire or dispose of ownership interests in entities at fixed or determinable prices.

The following is a summary of unrealized and realized gains and losses recognized in net income on equity securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

risk tends to be geographically concentrated in that a majority of the loan customers are located in the markets serviced by the Bank, most notably in New Jersey. Additionally, the New Jersey credit concentration is primarily focused within the counties that the Company operates in. Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type. A description of the Company’s different loan segments follows:

SBA Loans: SBA 7(a) loans, on which the SBA has historically provided guarantees of up to 90 percent of the principal balance, are considered a higher risk loan product for the Company than its other loan products. The guaranteed portion of the Company’s SBA loans is generally sold in the secondary market with the nonguaranteed portion held in the portfolio as a loan held for investment. SBA loans are for the purpose of providing working capital, business acquisitions, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. Loans are guaranteed by the businesses’ major owners. SBA loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.

Loans held for sale includes the guaranteed portion of SBA loans and are reflected at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. When sales of SBA loans do occur, the premium received on the sale and the present value of future cash flows of the servicing assets are recognized in income. All criteria for sale accounting must be met in order for the loan sales to occur.

Servicing assets represent the estimated fair value of retained servicing rights, net of servicing costs, at the time loans are sold. Servicing assets are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on stratifying the underlying financial assets by date of origination and term. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions.

Serviced loans sold to others are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and fees collected for loan servicing are credited to noninterest income when earned, net of amortization on the related servicing assets, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Commercial Loans: Commercial credit is extended primarily to middle market and small business customers. Commercial loans are generally made in the Company’s marketplace for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. The SBA 504 program consists of real estate backed commercial mortgages where the Company has the first mortgage and the SBA has the second mortgage on the property. Loans will generally be guaranteed in full or for a meaningful amount by the businesses’ major owners. Commercial loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.

Residential Mortgage, Consumer and Residential Construction Loans: The Company originates mortgage and consumer loans including principally residential real estate and home equity lines and loans and residential construction lines. The Company originates qualified mortgages which are generally sold in the secondary market and nonqualified mortgages which are generally held for investment. Each loan type is evaluated on debt to income, type of collateral, loan to collateral value, credit history and Company relationship with the borrower.

Loans held for sale includes a portion of residential mortgage loans and are reflected at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. When sales of residential mortgage loans do occur, the premium received on the sale and the present value of future cash flows of the servicing assets are recognized in income. All criteria for sale accounting must be met in order for the loan sales to occur.

Inherent in the lending function is credit risk, which is the possibility a borrower may not perform in accordance with the contractual terms of their loan. A borrower’s inability to pay their obligations according to the contractual terms can create the risk of past due loans and, ultimately, credit losses, especially on collateral deficient loans. The Company minimizes its credit risk by loan diversification and adhering to credit administration policies and procedures. Due diligence on loans begins when the Company initiates contact regarding a loan with a borrower. Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of

22

Table of Contents

the loan, the source of funds for repayment of the loan and other factors, are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. The commercial loan portfolio is then subject to on-going internal reviews for credit quality which in part is derived from ongoing collection and review of borrowers’ financial information, as well as, independent credit reviews performed by an independent external firm.

The Company’s extension of credit is governed by the Loan Policy which was established to control the quality of the Company’s loans. This policy and the underlying procedures are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

Credit Ratings

The Company places all SBA, commercial and residential construction loans into various credit risk rating categories based on an assessment of the expected ability of the borrowers to properly service their debt. The assessment considers numerous factors including, but not limited to, current financial information on the borrower, historical payment experience, strength of any guarantor, nature of and value of any collateral, acceptability of the loan structure and documentation, relevant public information and current economic trends. The credit risk rating is evaluated at the time of loan approval and subsequently during the annual reviews, in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Loan Policy.

The Company uses the following regulatory definitions for criticized and classified risk ratings:

Pass: Risk ratings of 1 through 6 are used for loans that are performing, as they meet, and are expected to continue to meet, all of the terms and conditions set forth in the original loan documentation, and are generally current on principal and interest payments. These performing loans are termed “Pass”.

Special Mention: These loans have a potential weakness that deserves Management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: These loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as Substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: These loans have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values. Once a borrower is deemed incapable of repayment of unsecured debt, the loan is termed a “Loss” and charged off immediately, subject to government guarantee.

Loss: These loans are considered uncollectible and hold minute value that their continuance as bankable loans is no longer warranted. This classification does not imply zero possible recovery or salvage value; rather, it is neither practical nor desirable to postpone writing off the asset despite some partial recovery occurring later.

For residential mortgage and consumer loans, Management uses performing versus nonperforming as the best indicator of credit quality. Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt. These credit quality indicators are updated on an ongoing basis, as a loan is placed on nonaccrual status as soon as Management believes there is sufficient doubt as to the ultimate ability to collect interest on a loan.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

Nonaccrual loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest as a result of principal or interest being in default, typically for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual

23

Table of Contents

terms is in doubt. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals are discontinued and all past due interest previously recognized as income is reversed and charged against current period earnings. Generally, until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as Management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of a portion of such payments as interest income. Loans may be returned to an accrual status when the ability to collect is reasonably assured and when the loan is brought current as to principal and interest. The risk of loss is difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in collateral values, general economic conditions and other factors. The Company values its collateral through the use of appraisals, broker price opinions and knowledge of its local market.

The following tables set forth an aging analysis of past due and nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Individually Evaluated Loans

The Company has defined individually evaluated loans to be all nonperforming loans. Management individually evaluates a loan when, based on current information and events, it is determined that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan contract.

The following tables provide detail on the Company’s loans individually evaluated in the Company’s Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) evaluation with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Modifications

The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on in-scope assets upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company uses a weighted-average remaining maturity model to determine the allowance for credit losses. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.

Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, the Company modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness on certain of its real estate loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.

In some cases, the Company will modify a certain loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.

The following table shows the amortized cost basis at the end of the reporting period of the loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, disaggregated by class of gross loans and type of concession granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount. Six loans, totaling $2.4 million that were modified during the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 were not in compliance with the modified terms.

NOTE 8. Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. At a minimum, the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is reviewed by Management on a quarterly basis. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by net charge-offs. For purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company has segmented the loans in its portfolio by loan type. Loans are segmented into the following pools: SBA, commercial, residential mortgage, consumer and residential construction loans. Certain portfolio segments are further broken down into classes based on the associated risks within those segments and the type of collateral underlying each loan. Commercial loans are divided into the following four classes: commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction, commercial & industrial and SBA 504. Consumer loans are divided into two classes as follows: home equity and other.

The standardized methodology used to assess the adequacy of the allowance includes the allocation of specific and general reserves. The same standard methodology is used, regardless of loan type. Specific reserves are established for individually evaluated loans. The general reserve is set based upon a representative average historical net charge-off rate adjusted for the following environmental factors: delinquency and impairment trends, charge-off and recovery trends, volume and loan term trends, changes in risk and underwriting policy trends, staffing and experience changes, national and local economic trends, industry conditions and credit concentration changes. These environmental factors include reasonable and supportable forecasts. Within the historical net charge-off rate, the Company weights the data dating back ten years on a straight line basis and projects the losses on a weighted average remaining maturity basis for each segment. All of the environmental factors are ranked and assigned a basis points value based on the following scale: low, low moderate, moderate, high moderate and high risk. Each environmental factor is evaluated separately for each class of loans and risk weighted based on its individual characteristics.

For SBA 7(a) and commercial loans, the estimate of loss based on pools of loans with similar characteristics is made through the use of a standardized loan grading system that is applied on an individual loan level and updated on a continuous basis. The loan grading system incorporates reviews of the financial performance of the borrower, including cash flow, debt-service coverage ratio, earnings power, debt level and equity position, in conjunction with an assessment of the borrower’s industry and future prospects. It also incorporates analysis of the type of collateral and the relative loan to value ratio.
For residential mortgage, consumer and residential construction loans, the estimate of loss is based on pools of loans with similar characteristics. Factors such as delinquency status and type of collateral are evaluated. Factors are updated frequently to capture the recent behavioral characteristics of the subject portfolios, as well as any changes in loss mitigation or credit origination strategies, and adjustments to the reserve factors are made as needed.

According to the Company’s policy, a loss (“charge-off”) is to be recognized and charged to the allowance for credit losses as soon as a loan is recognized as uncollectable. All credits which are 90 days past due must be analyzed for the Company’s ability to collect on the credit. Once a loss is known to exist, the charge-off approval process is immediately expedited. This charge-off policy is followed for all loan types.

Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

In addition to the allowance for credit losses, the Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that Management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, a $0.6 million commitment reserve was reported on the Balance Sheet as “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” and reported on the income statement as “Provision for credit losses, off-balance sheet”.

Reserve for Security Impairment

The Company maintains a reserve for credit losses on AFS debt securities. Adjustments to the reserve are made through the provision for credit losses and applied to the reserve, which is classified in “Debt securities available for sale” on the Balance Sheet. At September 30, 2025, a $50 thousand reserve was reported, compared to a $2.8 million reserve at December 31, 2024. The release of provision for credit losses on AFS debt securities was due to the conversion of the remaining debt security issued by Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. into restricted common stock.

The Company maintains a reserve for credit losses on equity securities which are restricted. Adjustments to the reserve are made through the provision for credit losses and applied to the reserve, which is classified in “Equity securities” on the Balance Sheet. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no reserve for equity securities.

The Company maintains a reserve for credit losses on HTM debt securities at a level that Management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no reserve was reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as these securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Government, are highly rated by major agencies or have a long history of no credit losses.

NOTE 9. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate swap agreements, which derive their value from underlying interest rates. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments and the value of the derivatives are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Such difference, which represents the fair value of the derivative instrument, is reflected on the Company’s Balance Sheet as “Prepaid expenses and other assets” or “Accrued expenses and other liabilities”.

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to any derivative agreement. The Company controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations. The Company deals only with primary dealers.

Derivative instruments are generally either negotiated via over the counter (“OTC”) contracts or standardized contracts executed on a recognized exchange. Negotiated OTC derivative contracts are generally entered into between two counterparties that negotiate specific agreement terms, including the underlying instrument, amount, exercise prices and maturity.

Risk Management Policies – Hedging Instruments

The primary focus of the Company’s asset/liability management program is to monitor the sensitivity of the Company’s net portfolio value and net income under varying interest rate scenarios to take steps to control its risks. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the effectiveness of entering into any derivative agreement by measuring the cost of such an agreement in relation to the reduction in net portfolio value and net income volatility within an assumed range of interest rates.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk Management – Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

The Company has variable rate debt as a source of funds for use in the Company’s lending and investment activities and for other general business purposes. These debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense increases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense decreases. Management believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments and therefore hedges its variable-rate interest payments. To meet this objective, management enters into interest rate swap agreements whereby the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments during the contract period.

A summary of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements used to hedge variable rate debt at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively is as follows:

In the third quarter of 2024, to hedge floating rate liability exposure, the Company entered into a forward starting pay-fix, receive-float interest rate swap which commenced in the first quarter of 2025, maturing in the first quarter of 2028. The interest rate swap, which qualifies for hedge accounting, is tied to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for a notional amount of $20.0 million. The effective fixed rate interest rate obligation to the Company is 2.89%. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the swap was $0.6 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received variable rate SOFR payments from and paid fixed rates in accordance with its interest rate swap agreements. At September 30, 2025, the unrealized gain relating to interest rate swaps was recorded as a derivative asset and is included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets” on the Company’s Balance Sheet. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with long-term debt are reported in other comprehensive income. The following table presents the net gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income and the consolidated financial statements relating to the cash flow derivative instruments at September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

NOTE 10. Regulatory Capital

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific

33

Table of Contents

capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s and consolidated Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

The minimum capital level requirements include: (i) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%; (ii) common equity Tier 1 risk weighted capital ratio of 4.5%; (iii) a Tier 1 risk weighted capital ratio of 6%; and (iv) a total risk weighted capital ratio of 8% for all institutions. The Bank is also required to maintain a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above the regulatory minimum capital ratios which results in the following minimum ratios: (i) a common equity Tier 1 risk weighted capital ratio of 7.0%; (ii) a Tier 1 risk weighted capital ratio of 8.5%; and (iii) a total risk weighted capital ratio of 10.5%. An institution will be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These limitations will establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.

Under a policy of the Federal Reserve applicable to bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $3 billion, the Company is not subject to capital regulations.

ITEM 2          Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the 2024 consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. When necessary, reclassifications have been made to prior period data throughout the following discussion and analysis for purposes of comparability. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which may be identified by the use of such words as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “should”, “planned”, “estimated” and “potential”. Examples of forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Unity Bancorp, Inc. that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include, in addition to those items contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item IA-Risk Factors, as updated by our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following: changes in general, economic and market conditions, including the impact of inflation, tariffs, legislative and regulatory conditions and the development of an interest rate environment that adversely affects Unity Bancorp, Inc.’s interest rate spread or other income anticipated from operations and investments and the impact of health or other emergencies on our employees, operations and customers.

Overview

Unity Bancorp, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) is a bank holding company incorporated in New Jersey and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unity Bank (the “Bank” or, when consolidated with the Parent Company, the “Company”) is chartered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and commenced operations on September 13, 1991. The Bank provides a full range of commercial and retail banking services through online banking platforms and its robust branch network located throughout Bergen, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Morris, Ocean, Somerset, Union and Warren counties in New Jersey and Northampton County in Pennsylvania. These services include the acceptance of demand, savings and time deposits and the extension of consumer, real estate, Small Business Administration ("SBA") and other commercial credits. The Bank has multiple subsidiaries used to hold part of its investment and loan portfolios and to hold other real estate owned if the Bank takes title to property securing loans.

Earnings Summary

Net income totaled $14.4 million, or $1.41 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $10.9 million, or $1.07 per diluted share for the same period in 2024. Return on average assets and return on average common equity for the quarter were 2.11 percent and 17.41 percent, respectively, compared to 1.76 percent and 15.55 percent for the same period in 2024.

Current quarter highlights include:

Net interest income increased 20.1 percent compared to the prior year’s quarter, primarily due to the increased yield and volume on loans and decreased cost on deposits, partially offset by increased volume of deposits.
Net interest margin equaled 4.54 percent this quarter compared to 4.16 percent in the prior year’s quarter. The increase was primarily due to the yield on interest-earning assets, complemented by a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
The provision for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet items was $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.1 million in provision for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet items for the prior year’s quarter. The increase was primarily due to loan growth.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Unity converted its debt security issued by Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. into restricted common stock. As of September 30, 2025, Unity held approximately 2.673 million shares of restricted Patriot common stock, valued at $0.75 per share. These shares remain restricted pending registration by Patriot (or such other time that an exemption from registration is available permitting the removal of such restrictions) and eligibility for trading on a national securities exchange. In connection with the

36

Table of Contents

conversion, Unity released $0.8 million from the reserve for credit losses on securities and recognized a one-time unrealized gain of $0.2 million through net securities gains.
Noninterest income increased 5.9 percent compared to the prior year’s quarter, primarily due to increased gains on sale of SBA loans, partially offset by decreased service and loan fee income.
Noninterest expense increased 11.7 percent compared to the prior year’s quarter, primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits and processing and communication categories.
The effective tax rate was 23.7 percent compared to 25.1 percent in the prior year’s quarter.

Net Interest Income

The primary source of the Company’s operating income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividends earned on interest-earning assets and fees earned on loans and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets include loans to individuals and businesses, investment securities and interest-earning deposits. Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing demand, savings, brokered and time deposits, FHLB advances and other borrowings.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, tax-equivalent net interest income amounted to $29.9 million, an increase of $5.0 million or 20.1 percent when compared to the same period in 2024. The net interest margin increased 38 basis points to 4.54 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 4.16 percent for the same period in 2024.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, tax-equivalent interest income was $44.4 million, an increase of $4.8 million or 12.2 percent when compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was mainly driven by increases in the average balance of loans and the yield of loans.

Of the $4.8 million increase in interest income on a tax-equivalent basis, $1.7 million was due to an increase in yields on earning assets and $3.1 million due to the increased average volume of interest-earning assets.
The average volume of interest-earning assets increased $234.6 million to $2.6 billion for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $2.4 billion in 2024. This was due primarily to a $249.4 million increase in average loans. The increase was offset by a $8.2 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits and $6.6 million decrease in investments.
The yield on total interest-earning assets increased 12 basis points to 6.74 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2025, when compared to the same period in 2024. The yield on the loan portfolio increased 16 basis points to 6.78 percent.

37

Table of Contents

Total interest expense was $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.2 million or 1.3 percent compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was driven by the lower rate paid on interest bearing deposits, which was partially offset by an increase in the volume of time deposits.

The $0.2 million decrease in interest expense resulted from a $1.5 million decrease in rate on average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million in volume and a shift in the mix of liability categories.
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 29 basis points to 3.05 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 32 basis points from the prior year’s period.
Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $1.9 billion during the three months ended September 30 2025, an increase of $139.3 million, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to an increase in time deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits and brokered deposits, partially offset by a decrease in savings deposits and borrowed funds.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, tax-equivalent interest income was $127.8 million, an increase of $12.3 million or 10.6 percent when compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was mainly driven by the increase in the volumes and rates on loans, partially offset by lower rates on securities, FHLB stock and interest-bearing deposits.

Of the $12.3 million net increase in interest income on a tax-equivalent basis, $8.6 million was due to an increase in volume and $3.7 million is due to an increase in yields on average earning assets.
The average volume of interest-earning assets increased $190.1 million to $2.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $2.4 billion for the same period in 2024. This was due to a $190.8 million increase in average loans and $1.0 million increase in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in FHLB stock and a $0.4 million decrease in average investment securities.
The yield on total interest-earning assets increased 16 basis points to 6.71 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024. The yield on the loan portfolio increased 22 basis points to 6.75 percent.

Total interest expense was $42.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.3 million or 2.9 percent compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease reflects decreased rates on interest-bearing deposits along with a reduced reliance on borrowed funds, partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits.

Of the $1.3 million decrease in interest expense, $4.3 million was due to the decreased rate of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by $3.1 million due to increased volumes of interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $1.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $107.8 million or 6.2 percent compared to the prior year’s period.
The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 29 basis points to 3.04 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 26 basis points to 3.00 percent and the cost of borrowed funds and subordinated debentures decreased 27 basis points to 3.66 percent.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for loans was $1.4 and $4.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the same periods in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increases in the general reserve calculation due to loan growth.

The provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures had a release of $80 thousand and a provision of $16 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to a provision $51 and $66 thousand for the same periods in 2024, respectively.

There was a $0.8 million and $2.8 million release in provision for credit losses on securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, compared to no provision and a $0.6 million provision for the same periods in 2024, respectively.

Each period’s credit loss provision is the result of Management’s analysis of the loan portfolio and reflects changes in the size and composition of the portfolio, the level of net charge-offs, delinquencies, current and expected economic conditions and other internal and external factors impacting the risk within the loan portfolio. Additional information may be found under the captions “Financial Condition - Asset Quality” and “Financial Condition - Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments.” The current provision is considered appropriate under Management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.

Income Tax Expense

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported income tax expense of $4.5 million for an effective tax rate of 23.7 percent, compared to income tax expense of $3.7 million and an effective tax rate of 25.1 percent for the prior year’s quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported income tax expense of $13.3 million for an effective tax rate of 23.9 percent, compared to an income tax expense of $10.0 million and an effective tax rate of 25.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Financial Condition at September 30, 2025

Total assets increased $222.3 million or 8.4 percent, to $2.9 billion at September 30, 2025, when compared to year end 2024. This increase was primarily due to increases of $207.9 million in gross loans, $23.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $6.2 million in prepaid expenses and other assets and $0.9 million in deferred tax assets, partially offset by a decrease of $13.8 million in securities.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $38.4 million, when compared to year end 2024, primarily due to earnings and an increase in common stock, partially offset by dividends paid on common stock and the repurchase of shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

These fluctuations are discussed in further detail in the paragraphs that follow.

Securities Portfolio

The Company’s securities portfolio consists of AFS debt securities, HTM debt securities and equity investments. Management determines the appropriate security classification of AFS and HTM at the time of purchase. The investment securities portfolio is maintained for asset-liability management purposes, as well as for liquidity and earnings purposes.

AFS debt securities are investments carried at fair value that may be sold in response to changing market and interest rate conditions or for other business purposes. Activity in this portfolio is undertaken primarily to manage liquidity and interest rate risk, to take advantage of market conditions that create economically attractive returns and as an additional source of earnings. AFS debt securities consist primarily of obligations of U.S. Government, state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and corporate and other securities.

AFS debt securities totaled $82.1 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $11.8 million or 12.6 percent, compared to $93.9 million at December 31, 2024. This net decrease was the result of:

$21.9 million in principal payments, calls and maturities;
$1.0 million in proceeds from sales;
$2.0 million transfer of senior debt security modification to equity (net of valuation allowance);
Partially offset by $11.5 million in purchases; and
$1.6 million in appreciation in the market value of the portfolio. At September 30, 2025, the portfolio had a net unrealized loss of $1.9 million compared to a net unrealized loss of $3.5 million at December 31, 2024. These net unrealized losses are reflected net of tax in shareholder’s equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The weighted average life of AFS debt securities, adjusted for prepayments, amounted to 4.8 years and 4.9 years at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The effective duration of AFS debt securities amounted to 1.7 and 1.4 years at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

HTM debt securities, which are carried at amortized cost, are investments for which there is the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. The portfolio is primarily comprised of obligations of U.S. Government, state and political subdivisions and mortgage-backed securities.

43

Table of Contents

HTM debt securities were $36.5 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $4.8 million or 11.6 percent, compared to $41.3 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to:

$4.8 million in principal payments

The weighted average life of HTM securities, adjusted for prepayments, amounted to 15.1 years and 14.3 years at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of HTM securities was $30.0 million and $33.8 million, respectively. The effective duration of HTM securities amounted to 10.5 years and 9.0 years at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Equity securities are investments carried at fair value that may be sold in response to changing market and interest rate conditions or for other business purposes. Activity in this portfolio is undertaken primarily to manage liquidity and to take advantage of market conditions that create economically attractive returns and as an additional source of earnings. Equity securities consist of Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") mutual fund investments and the equity holdings of other financial institutions.

Equity securities totaled $12.7 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of $2.8 million or 28.8 percent, compared to $9.9 million at December 31, 2024. This net increase was the result of:

$3.5 million in realized gains on sales;
$2.8 million in release of provision for credit losses on securities;
$2.0 million transfer of senior debt security modification to equity (net of valuation allowance);
$0.5 million in unrealized gains; and
$0.5 million in purchases;
Partially offset by $6.5 million in sales.

Securities with a carrying value of $79.4 million and $11.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were held at the FHLB or FRB and were pledged for borrowing purposes; however, there were no securities borrowed against at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Approximately 60 percent of the total debt security investment portfolio had a fixed rate of interest at September 30, 2025.

See Note 6 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding Securities.

Loan Portfolio

The loan portfolio, which represents the Company’s largest asset group, is a significant source of both interest and fee income. The portfolio consists of SBA, commercial, residential mortgage, consumer and residential construction loans. Each of these segments is subject to differing levels of credit and interest rate risk.

Total loans increased $207.9 million or 9.2 percent to $2.5 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to year end 2024. Commercial, residential mortgage, consumer and loans held for sale increased by $171.0 million, $45.9 million, $6.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively. This was offset by decreases of $17.7 million and $0.8 million in residential construction and SBA loans, respectively.

Average loans increased $190.8 million or 8.8 percent to $2.4 billion the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $2.2 billion for the same period in 2024. The increase in average loans was due to increases in average commercial, residential mortgages and consumer loans, partially offset by decreases in average residential construction and SBA loans. The yield on the overall loan portfolio increased 22 basis points to 6.75 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

SBA 7(a) loans, on which the SBA historically has provided guarantees of up to 90 percent of the principal balance, are considered a higher risk loan product for the Company than its other loan products. These loans are made for the purposes of providing working capital or financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate. Generally, an SBA 7(a) loan has a deficiency in its credit profile that would not allow the borrower to qualify for a traditional commercial loan, which is why the SBA provides the guarantee. The deficiency may be a higher loan to value (“LTV”) ratio, lower debt service coverage (“DSC”) ratio or weak personal financial guarantees. In addition, many SBA 7(a) loans are for startup businesses where there is no history or financial information. Finally, many SBA borrowers do not have an ongoing and continuous banking relationship with the Bank, but merely work with the Bank on a single transaction. The guaranteed portion of the Company’s SBA loans may be sold in the secondary market.

SBA loans held for sale, carried at the lower of cost or market, amounted to $8.3 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $3.9 million from $12.2 million at December 31, 2024. SBA 7(a) loans held for investment amounted to $37.5 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.8 million from $38.3 million at December 31, 2024. The yield on SBA loans, which are generally floating and adjust quarterly to the Prime rate, was 7.55 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 8.71 percent for the same period in the prior year. The Company sold $7.7 million of SBA loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The guarantee rates on SBA 7(a) loans range from 50 percent to 90 percent, with the majority of the portfolio having a guarantee rate of 75 percent at origination. The guarantee rates are determined by the SBA and can vary from year to year depending on government funding and the goals of the SBA program. Approximately $51.5 million and $72.6 million in SBA loans were sold but serviced by the Bank at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are not included on the Company’s Balance Sheet. There is no relationship or correlation between the guarantee percentages and the level of charge-offs and recoveries on the Company’s SBA 7(a) loans. Charge-offs taken on SBA 7(a) loans effect the unguaranteed portion of the loan. SBA loans are underwritten to the same credit standards irrespective of the guarantee percentage.

Commercial loans are generally made in the Company’s marketplace for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. These loans amounted to $1.6 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $171.0 million from year end 2024. The yield on commercial loans was 6.79 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 6.49 percent for the same period in 2024. In most cases, these loans are secured by underlying real estate collateral. SBA 504 program loans, which consist of real estate backed commercial mortgages where the Company has the first mortgage and the SBA has the second mortgage on the property, are included in the Commercial loan portfolio. At September 30, 2025, Commercial Mortgage – Owner Occupied, Commercial Mortgage – Nonowner Occupied and Commercial Construction represent 26.0 percent, 21.3 percent and 4.7 percent of the Company’s loan portfolio, respectively. The Company will

Table of Contents

generally not exceed a combined loan-to-value ratio of 75 percent at origination. Unity continually evaluates and monitors its credit risk policies and procedures. Further, Unity continuously monitors loan portfolio concentrations across key credit characteristics (e.g., state and local geographies, industries, etc.). Loans are subject to periodic loan review procedures in accordance with the Company’s Loan Policy. A portion of the loan reviews are performed by an independent and external loan review function.

Residential mortgage loans consist of loans secured by 1 to 4 family residential properties. These loans amounted to $676.9 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of $45.9 million from year end 2024. Sales of conforming mortgage loans totaled $50.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to sales of $48.7 million in the prior year period. The yield on residential mortgages was 6.30 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 6.00 percent for the same period in 2024. Residential mortgage loans maintained in portfolio are generally to individuals that do not qualify for conventional financing. In extending credit to this category of borrowers, the Bank considers other mitigating factors such as credit history, equity and liquid reserves of the borrower. As a result, the residential mortgage loan portfolio of the Bank includes adjustable rate mortgages with rates that exceed the rates on conventional fixed-rate mortgage loan products but which are not considered high priced mortgages.

Consumer loans consist of home equity loans and loans for the purpose of financing the purchase of consumer goods, home improvements and other personal needs, and are generally secured by 1 to 4 family residences. These loans amounted to $82.9 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of $6.1 million from year end 2024. The yield on consumer loans was 7.09 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 7.90 percent for the same period in 2024.

Residential construction loans consist of short-term loans for the purpose of funding the costs of building a home. These loans amounted to $73.2 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $17.7 million from year end 2024. The yield on residential construction loans was 9.49 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 8.38 percent for the same period in 2024.

There are no concentrations of loans to any borrowers or group of borrowers exceeding 10 percent of the total loan portfolio.

In the normal course of business, the Company may originate loan products whose terms could give rise to additional credit risk. Interest-only loans, loans with high LTV, construction loans with payments made from interest reserves and multiple loans supported by the same collateral (e.g. home equity loans) are examples of such products. However, these products are not material to the Company’s financial position and are closely managed via credit controls designed to mitigate their additional inherent risk. Management does not believe that these products create a concentration of credit risk in the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company does not have any option adjustable rate mortgage loans.

The majority of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate. Declines in the market values of real estate in the Company’s trade area impact the value of the collateral securing its loans. This could lead to greater losses in the event of defaults on loans secured by real estate. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately 96 percent of the Company’s loan portfolio was secured by real estate.

Asset Quality

Nonaccrual loans were $20.5 million at September 30, 2025, a $7.4 million increase from $13.1 million at December 31, 2024 and a $7.5 million increase from $13.0 million at September 30, 2024, respectively. Since year end 2024, nonaccrual loans in the residential mortgage, commercial, consumer and SBA segments increased, offset by a decrease in nonaccrual loans in the residential construction segment. In addition, there was $0.4 million in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at September 30, 2025, compared to $0.8 million at December 31, 2024 and none at September 30, 2024.

The Company also monitors potential problem loans. Potential problem loans are those loans where information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes Management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms. These loans are categorized by their non-passing risk rating and performing loan status.

47

Table of Contents

Potential problem loans totaled $20.7 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of $6.1 million from $14.6 million at December 31, 2024.

See Note 7 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding Asset Quality.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $30.2 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $26.8 million at December 31, 2024 and $27.0 million at September 30, 2024, with a resulting allowance to total loan ratio of 1.23 percent at September 30, 2025, compared to 1.18 percent at December 31, 2024 and 1.22 percent at September 30, 2024. Net charge-offs amounted to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $0.8 million for the same period in 2024.

The Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that Management believes is adequate to absorb estimated expected losses. Adjustments to the reserve are made through provision for credit losses and applied to the reserve which is classified in Other liabilities. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the commitment reserve totaled $0.6 million.

See Note 8 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments.

Deposits

Deposits, which include noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits and time deposits, are the primary source of the Company’s funds. The Company offers a variety of products designed to attract and retain customers, with primary focus on building and expanding relationships. The Company continues to focus on establishing a comprehensive relationship with business borrowers, seeking deposits as well as lending relationships.

Total deposits increased $167.2 million to $2.3 billion at September 30, 2025 from year end 2024. This increase was due to increases of $58.2 million in time deposits, $44.4 million in savings deposits, $40.7 million in interest-bearing demand deposits, $17.2 million in brokered deposits and $6.7 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. The change in the composition of the portfolio from December 31, 2024 reflects a 12.6 percent increase in interest-bearing demand deposits, a 9.3 percent increase in time deposits, a 9.0 percent increase in savings deposits, a 7.9 percent increase in brokered deposits and a 1.5 percent increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.

As of September 30, 2025, 21.6 percent of total deposits were uninsured or uncollateralized. The Company’s deposit composition as of September, 2025, consisted of 19.7 percent in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, 17.4 percent in interest-bearing demand deposits, 23.7 percent in savings deposits and 39.2 percent in time deposits.

Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debentures

As part of the Company’s overall funding and liquidity management program, from time to time the Company borrows from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. Residential mortgages, commercial loans and debt securities collateralize these borrowings.

Borrowed funds and subordinated debentures totaled $242.0 million and $230.8 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are broken down in the following table:

In September 2025, the FHLB issued a $230.0 million municipal deposit letter of credit in the name of Unity Bank naming the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance as beneficiary, to secure municipal deposits as required under New Jersey law. The FHLB issued an additional $33.0 million municipal deposit letter of credit in the name of Unity Bank naming certain townships in Pennsylvania as beneficiary, to secure municipal deposits as required under Pennsylvania law.

At September 30, 2025, the Company had $317.2 million of additional credit available at the FHLB, $211.0 million of additional credit available at the FRB and $20.0 million of additional credit available from other sources. Pledging additional collateral in the form of 1 to 4 family residential mortgages, commercial loans and investment securities can increase the lines with the FHLB and FRB.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, average FHLB Borrowings were $108.2 million with a weighted average cost of 3.49%.

Subordinated Debentures

On July 24, 2006, Unity (NJ) Statutory Trust II, a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of Unity Bancorp, Inc., issued $10.0 million of floating rate capital trust pass through securities to investors due on July 24, 2036. The subordinated debentures are redeemable in whole or part. The floating interest rate on the subordinated debentures is the daily compounded SOFR rate with a 0.262 percent spread. The floating interest rate was 5.864 percent at September 30, 2025 and 6.189 percent at December 31, 2024.

Market Risk

Market risk for the Company is primarily limited to interest rate risk, which is the impact that changes in interest rates would have on future earnings. The Company’s Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) manages this risk. The principal objectives of ALCO are to establish prudent risk management guidelines, evaluate and control the level of interest rate risk in balance sheet accounts, determine the level of appropriate risk given the business focus, operating environment and capital and liquidity requirements and actively manage risk within Board-approved guidelines. ALCO reviews the maturities and repricing of loans, investments, deposits and borrowings, cash flow needs, current market conditions and interest rate levels.

The following table presents the Company’s Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) and Net Interest Income (“NII”) sensitivity exposure related to an instantaneous and sustained parallel shift in market interest rate of 100, 200 and 300 bps, which were all in compliance with Board approved tolerances at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These transactions may involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.

Standby letters of credit represent guarantees of payment issued by the Bank on behalf of a client that is used as “payments of last resort” should the client fail to fulfill a contractual commitment with a third party. Standby letters of credit are typically short-term in duration, maturing in one year or less.

Time deposits have stated maturity dates and include brokered time deposits.

Table of Contents

Borrowed funds and subordinated debentures include fixed and adjustable rate borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and subordinated debentures. The borrowings have defined terms and under certain circumstances are callable at the option of the lender.

Liquidity

Liquidity measures the ability to satisfy current and future cash flow needs as they become due. A bank’s liquidity reflects its ability to meet loan demand, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to take advantage of interest rate opportunities in the marketplace. Our liquidity is monitored by Management and the Board of Directors, which reviews historical funding requirements, our current liquidity position, sources and stability of funding, marketability of assets, options for attracting additional funds, and anticipated future funding needs, including the level of unfunded commitments. Our goal is to maintain sufficient asset-based liquidity to cover potential funding requirements in order to minimize our dependence on volatile and potentially unstable funding markets.

The principal sources of funds at the Bank are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of investment and loan principal, sales and maturities of investment securities, additional borrowings and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows provides detail on the Company’s sources and uses of cash, as well as an indication of the Company’s ability to maintain an adequate level of liquidity. At September 30, 2025, the balance of cash and cash equivalents was $203.5 million, an increase of $23.0 million from December 31, 2024. A discussion of on- and off-balance sheet liquidity follows.

Securities. The Company’s available for sale investment portfolio amounted to $82.1 million and $93.9 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Loans. Loans held for sale portfolio amounted to $15.4 million and $12.2 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Sales of these loans provide an additional source of liquidity for the Company.
Commitments. The Company was committed to advance approximately $426.0 million to its borrowers as of September 30, 2025, compared to $322.3 million at December 31, 2024. At September 30, 2025, $195.2 million of these commitments expire within one year, compared to $167.1 million at December 31, 2024. The Company had $5.3 million and $5.5 million in standby letters of credit at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which are included in the commitments amount noted above. The estimated fair value of these guarantees is not significant. The Company believes it has the necessary liquidity to honor all commitments. Many of these commitments will expire and never be funded.
Deposits. As of September 30, 2025, deposits included $443.8 million of government deposits, as compared to $400.6 million at year end 2024.  These deposits are generally short in duration and are very sensitive to price competition. The Company believes that the current level of these types of deposits is appropriate. Within this portfolio the average deposit size was $7.9 million as of September 30, 2025.
Borrowed Funds. Total FHLB borrowings amounted to $231.7 million and $220.5 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, the Company can borrow additional funds based on the market value of collateral pledged. At September 30, 2025, pledging provided an additional $317.2 million in borrowing potential from the FHLB, $211.0 million from the FRB and $20.0 million from other sources. In addition, the Company can pledge additional collateral in the form of 1 to 4 family residential mortgages, commercial loans or investment securities to increase these lines with the FHLB and FRB. As of September 30, 2025, total available funding plus cash on hand represented 153.5% of uninsured or uncollateralized deposits.

Regulatory Capital

Consistent with our goal to operate as a sound and profitable financial organization, Unity Bancorp, Inc. and Unity Bank actively seek to maintain our well capitalized status in accordance with regulatory standards. As of September 30, 2025, Unity Bank exceeded all capital requirements of the federal banking regulators and was considered well capitalized.

Table of Contents

See Note 10 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding Regulatory Capital.

Shareholders’ Equity

Repurchase Plan

On August 1, 2024, the Board authorized a repurchase plan permitting the repurchase of up to 500 thousand shares, or approximately 5.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, in addition to the previously approved repurchase plan authorizing the repurchase of up to 500 thousand shares of common stock. No shares were repurchased during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, leaving 635 thousand shares available for repurchase. For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, a total of 10,334 shares were repurchased at a weighted average price of $27.27. The timing and amount of additional purchases, if any, will depend upon several factors including the Company’s capital needs, the Company’s liquidity position, the performance of its loan portfolio, the need for additional provisions for credit losses and the market price of the Company’s stock.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

ITEM 3         Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s assessment of market risk as reported in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. (See Interest Rate Sensitivity in Management’s Discussion and Analysis herein.)

ITEM 4         Controls and Procedures

a)The Company’s Management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for recording, processing, summarizing and reporting the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
b)No significant change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting has occurred during the quarterly period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s controls over financial reporting.

PART II          OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1            Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company currently is not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or the results of the operation of the Company.
