CLINTON, N.J., April 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $11.6 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to net income of $11.5 million, or $1.13 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. This represents a 0.8% increase in net income.

James A. Hughes, President and CEO, commented on the financial results: “We are pleased to announce another strong quarter for Unity Bancorp, Inc. We earned $11.6 million in net income, or $1.13 per diluted share, representing 1.83% ROA and 15.56% ROE.

Our Commercial and Residential lending had strong originations, growing loans by $84.5 million in the first quarter, a 3.74% increase from year-end. Our Retail division also demonstrated their deposit gathering capabilities, with customer deposits (ex-brokered deposits) increasing by $90.7 million, or 4.82%, quarter over quarter. We will continue to diligently manage our balance sheet, and aim to fund future credit growth by growing deposits in tandem. Furthermore, we will continue to maintain disciplined credit-risk management, by underwriting credits to conservative loan-to-value and debt-service-coverage levels, as well as swiftly addressing delinquency and non-performing asset scenarios as they arise.

Despite the recent volatility seen in the capital markets primarily due to the implementation of tariffs, as a community bank we do not see any adverse impacts on prospective loan demand. A portion of our small business customers are poised to benefit from tariffs on foreign goods. Further, to the extent that our customers are negatively impacted, we are on standby and will remain a trusted advisor to help them navigate any potential difficulties. Our balance sheet growth highlights Unity’s commitment to providing financial services that support economic development in our local communities. Our motto “Growing With You” has never been more relevant. The relentless dedication of our employees to delivering best-in-class customer service has driven these impressive financial results.”
