5 terms

net interest margin financial

"Net interest margin | | | | | | | | | 4.53 | %"

Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.

efficiency ratio financial

"Efficiency ratio** | | | 41.77 | | | 39.52 |"

A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.

allowance for credit losses financial

"Allowance for credit losses | | | 33,354 | | | 32,342 |"

Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.

nonaccrual assets financial

"Nonaccrual assets | | $ | 32,092 | | $ | 31,308 |"

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio financial

"Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio | | | 14.50 |"

A bank’s common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio measures the size of its strongest loss-absorbing capital—mainly common shares and retained earnings—relative to the bank’s assets after adjusting those assets for how risky they are (riskier loans count more). Think of it as the safety cushion compared with the weight of risky business; investors use it to judge a bank’s ability to survive losses, meet rules, and sustain dividends or growth.

Exhibit 99.1

Clinton, NJ -- Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $14.3 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to net income of $15.5 million, or $1.52 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Quarterly Earnings Highlights

●

Net interest income, the primary driver of earnings, was $30.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $0.7 million, as compared to $31.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased 7 basis points to 4.53% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to day count.

●

The provision for credit losses on loans was $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The provision in the current quarter was primarily driven by loan growth, with additional increases in qualitative adjustments.

●

Noninterest income was $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The $1.0 million decrease was primarily due to the $1.5 million unrealized gain associated with Patriot recognized in the prior quarter, partially offset by increased service and loan fee income and gain on sale of SBA and mortgage loans.

●

Noninterest expense was $14.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $13.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased compensation and benefits expenses, partially offset by decreases in furniture and equipment, professional services and other expenses. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compensation and benefits expenses included $0.7 million of one-time accrual reversals.

●

The effective tax rate was 22.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 21.4% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. During the fourth quarter of 2025, Unity purchased $8.0 million of federal tax credits, resulting in $0.5 million of tax savings. Furthermore, during the first quarter of 2026, Unity purchased $5.1 million of tax credits, resulting in $0.4 million of tax savings.

Balance Sheet Highlights

●

Total gross loans increased $56.9 million, or 2.2%, from December 31, 2025, primarily due to increases in the commercial and residential and commercial construction loan categories. Furthermore, gross loans increased $256.5 million, or 10.9% from March 31, 2025.

●

As of March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans was 1.28%.

●

As of March 31, 2026, nonaccrual assets (including OREO) were $32.1 million, compared to $31.3 million as of December 31, 2025. The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans was 1.18% as of March 31, 2026. The ratio of nonaccrual assets to total assets was 1.06% as of March 31, 2026. During the fourth quarter of 2025, one $15.5 million commercial real estate relationship migrated to nonaccrual status. This isolated relationship accounts for nearly half of nonaccrual assets.

●

Total deposits increased $55.1 million, or 2.4%, from December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, uninsured or uncollateralized deposits represented 21.6% of total deposits. The Company’s deposit composition as of March 31, 2026, consisted of 19.0% in noninterest bearing demand deposits, 17.2% in interest-bearing demand deposits, 24.9% in savings deposits and 38.9% in time deposits.

●

Borrowed funds decreased $7.5 million from December 31, 2025. Borrowed funds were entirely comprised of borrowings from the FHLB.

●

Shareholders’ equity was $358.1 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $345.6 million as of December 31, 2025. The $12.5 million increase was primarily driven by 2026 earnings, partially offset by dividend payments and share repurchase activity. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, Unity Bancorp, Inc. repurchased 6,616 shares at a weighted average price of $49.01 per share.

●

Book value per common share was $35.66 as of March 31, 2026, compared to $34.63 as of December 31, 2025. This increase is primarily due to net income partially offset by dividends and share repurchases.

●

Below is a summary of Unity Bancorp’s regulatory capital ratios:

The Leverage Ratio increased 21 basis points to 12.93% at March 31, 2026, compared to 12.72% at December 31, 2025.
