Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Earnings Releases And Operating Results.

CLINTON, N.J., April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $8.5 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, a 58.3% increase compared to net income of $5.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share for the prior year’s first quarter, primarily due to revenue generated by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), improved net interest margin and an increase in non-interest income.

James A. Hughes, President and CEO, commented on the financial results: “I am proud to report record results in the first quarter of 2021, resulting from our focused approach of sustaining a robust balance sheet and our commitment towards helping our customers. The hard work and dedication our employees demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic has been extraordinary. In addition to helping our customers with loan deferrals, we were able to provide access to credit through round one and two of the SBA PPP program. Stepping out of the shadows of 2020, we anticipate a strong year for Unity. Our mortgage and SBA lending areas are expected to be strong contributors, and we believe the interest rate environment should provide for a stable margin. I want to sincerely thank our customers for putting their trust in Unity, and our wonderful staff for their tremendous efforts this quarter and throughout the unprecedented past year.”
