A solid quarter for Unity Bancorp produced net income of $14.5 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, fueled by a 3.6% rise in net interest income and a 3-basis-point expansion in net interest margin to 4.56%. Although results slipped slightly below the year-ago period on lower noninterest income and higher nonaccrual assets, the core franchise remains robust—return on equity hit 15.86% and loan growth stayed healthy. Governance gets a lift from the appointment of two new directors. The market will balance resilient profitability against the uptick in nonaccrual loans, now 1.23% of total loans and concentrated in one large commercial real estate relationship.
