CEO James Hughes commented: "We are pleased to announce that Unity Bancorp delivered another strong quarter, reflecting the strength of our relationship-based banking model. During the second quarter, we generated net income of $14.5M, or $1.42 per diluted share, producing a 2.01% return on average assets and a 15.86% return on average equity. Strong core operating performance, a 4.56% net interest margin, balanced loan and deposit growth, and robust capital and liquidity levels all contributed to another successful quarter. While the macroeconomic environment continues to present uncertainty, including the ongoing effects of elevated interest rates and changing economic conditions, we remain encouraged by the resilience of the New Jersey economy and housing market. We remain encouraged by the level of customer activity and business development opportunities across our markets. Loan pipelines remain healthy, deposit gathering efforts continue to gain traction, and our investments in technology and talent are enhancing our ability to serve customers more efficiently and effectively. As we look to the second half of 2026, we believe Unity is well positioned to continue delivering profitable growth, maintaining strong asset quality, and creating long-term value for our shareholders."
