BCB Bancorp, Inc. Earns $3.6 Million in Second Quarter 2025;

Reports $0.18 EPS and

Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.16 Per Share

BAYONNE, N.J., July 28, 2025 — BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), (NASDAQ: BCBP), the holding company for BCB Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, and net income of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. Earnings per diluted share for the second quarter was $0.18 compared to a loss of ($0.51) per diluted share in the preceding quarter and $0.14 in the second quarter of 2024.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share. The dividend will be payable on August 25, 2025 to common shareholders of record on August 11, 2025.

“We are pleased with the quarterly results that demonstrate that the core profitability of our Company continues to trend in a positive direction. The quarter was characterized by meaningful net interest margin expansion that was driven by the continued optimization of our balance sheet profile,” Michael Shriner, President and Chief Executive Officer of BCB Bank, explained.

“As disclosed previously, we are aggressively addressing our asset quality challenges and remained disciplined in booking loan loss provisioning expenses that supported our loan loss reserves for the second quarter. While credit actions during this year have depressed our short-term profitability, the medium to long-term outlook for the Bank remains positive,” added Mr. Shriner.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets decreased by $218.7 million, or 6.1 percent, to $3.380 billion at June 30, 2025, from $3.599 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease in total assets was mainly related to a decrease in net loans and cash and cash equivalents.

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $110.4 million, or 34.8 percent, to $206.9 million at June 30, 2025, from $317.3 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash was primarily due to the reduction of the Bank’s exposure to wholesale funding by paying down high cost brokered deposits and FHLB advances.

Loans receivable, net, decreased by $135.8 million, or 4.5 percent, to $2.860 billion at June 30, 2025, from $2.996 billion at December 31, 2024. Total loan decreases during the period included decreases totaling $125.0 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans, construction loans, commercial business, business express and 1-4 family residential loans. The allowance for credit losses increased $15.9 million to $50.7 million, or 49.8 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.74 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2025, as compared to an allowance for credit losses of $34.8 million, or 77.8 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.15 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2024.

Total investment securities increased by $28.8 million, or 25.9 percent, to $140.0 million at June 30, 2025, from $111.2 million at December 31, 2024, representing current year purchases.

Deposits decreased by $89.3 million, or 3.2 percent, to $2.662 billion at June 30, 2025, from $2.751 billion at December 31, 2024. Brokered deposits and transaction accounts decreased $119.4 million and $29.6 million, respectively, and were offset by increases in money market accounts, certificate of deposit accounts and savings accounts which totaled $61.7 million.

Debt obligations decreased by $119.6 million to $378.7 million at June 30, 2025 from $498.3 million at December 31, 2024, due to maturities and paydowns of our FHLB advances. The weighted average interest rate of FHLB advances was 4.18 percent at June 30, 2025 and 4.35 percent at December 31, 2024. The weighted average maturity of FHLB advances as of June 30, 2025 was 0.79 years. The interest rate of our subordinated debt balances was 9.25 percent at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $8.2 million, or 2.5 percent, to $315.7 million at June 30, 2025, from $323.9 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was attributable to the decrease in retained earnings of $11.2 million, or 7.9 percent, to $130.6 million at June 30, 2025 from $141.9 million at December 31, 2024 caused largely by the $8.3 million loss in the first quarter of 2025, due to additions to the allowance for credit losses. Offsetting this were increases totaling $3.0 million consisting of a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to rate improvements and additional paid in capital on stock purchased during the quarter. 

Second Quarter 2025 Income Statement Review

Net income was $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This increase was, primarily, driven by a $4.9 million loss on sale of loans that depressed the earnings in the second quarter of 2024. This was offset, somewhat, by the Bank recording $2.5 million more in loan loss provisioning, $1.3 million more in non-interest expense and $537 thousand less in net interest income in the second quarter of 2025 as compared with the second quarter of 2024.

Interest income decreased by $6.3 million, or 12.7 percent, to $43.2 million for the second quarter of 2025 from $49.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $332.4 million, or 9.1 percent, to $3.307 billion for the second quarter of 2025 from $3.639 billion for the second quarter of 2024, while the average yield decreased 19 basis points to 5.24 percent for the second quarter of 2025 from 5.43 percent for the second quarter of 2024.

Interest expense decreased by $5.7 million to $20.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 from $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease resulted from a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 40 basis points to 3.16 percent for the second quarter of 2025 from 3.56 percent for the second quarter of 2024, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $348.5 million to $2.549 billion for the second quarter of 2025 from $2.897 billion for the second quarter of 2024.

The net interest margin was 2.80 percent for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2.60 percent for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in the net interest margin compared to the second quarter of 2024 was the result of a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, offset by a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company recognized $5.7 million in net charge-offs compared to $1.8 million in net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2024. The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $101.8 million, or 3.50 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2025 as compared to $44.7 million, or 1.48 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $50.7 million, or 1.74 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2025, and $34.8 million, or 1.15 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2024. The provision for credit losses was $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses on loans was adequate at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Non-interest income increased by $5.3 million to $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 from a loss of $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in total non-interest income was mainly related to a $4.9 million loss on the sale of loans in the second quarter of 2024 and increases in fee and service charge income, BOLI income, and gains on equity securities of $186 thousand, $115 thousand, and $114 thousand, respectively.

Non-interest expense increased by $1.3 million, or 9.2 percent, to $15.3 million for the second quarter of 2025 when compared to non-interest expense of $14.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in these expenses for the second quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by salaries and employee benefits and data processing and communication costs which increased $721 thousand and $374 thousand, respectively.

The income tax provision increased by $292 thousand, to an income tax provision of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 when compared to a $1.2 million provision for the second quarter of 2024. The consolidated effective tax rate was 29.0 percent for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 29.2 percent for the second quarter of 2024.

Year-to-Date Income Statement Review

Net income decreased by $13.4 million, or 154.8 percent, to a loss of $4.8 million for the first six months of 2025 from earnings of $8.7 million for the first six months of 2024. The decrease in net income was driven, primarily, by provisioning for loan loss expense being $21.2 million higher, net interest income being $1.7 million lower, and non-interest expense being $1.1 million higher. This was partly offset by the income tax provision being lower by $5.6 million and non-interest income being higher by $5.0 million.

Net interest income was $1.7 million lower as interest income decreased by $11.4 million, or 11.5 percent, to $87.4 million for the first six months of 2025, from $98.7 million for the first six months of 2024, and interest expense decreased $9.7 million for the same period. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $294.5 million, or 8.0 percent, to $3.375 billion for the first six months of 2025, from $3.669 billion for the first six months of 2024, while the average yield decreased 16 basis points to 5.22 percent from 5.38 percent for the comparable period. The decrease in interest earning assets was primarily a result of loans and interest-bearing bank balances declining $309.2 million and $15.2 million, respectively. This was offset by an increase in investment securities of $29.9 million. Interest expense decreased by $9.7 million, or 18.6 percent, to $42.3 million for 2025, from $51.9 million for 2024. This decrease resulted primarily from interest on deposits which decreased $9.2 million. Interest on borrowed money declined $506 thousand for the same period. Average deposits declined $247.2 million and the average rate paid on deposits declined 44 basis points to 2.91 percent. Average borrowings decreased $55.5 million for the same period. The average rate paid on borrowings increased by 37 basis points to 4.86 percent.

Net interest margin was 2.70 percent for the first six months of 2025, compared to 2.55 percent for the first six months of 2024. The increase in the net interest margin compared to the prior period was the result of a decrease in the cost of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities, by 30 basis points to 3.25 percent. Offsetting that, somewhat, was a decrease in the rate earned on earning assets, which decreased 16 basis points to 5.22 percent.

During the first six months of 2025, the Company experienced $9.9 million in net charge offs compared to $2.9 million in net charge offs for the same period in 2024. The provision for credit losses increased from $4.5 million during the first six months of 2024 to $25.7 million for the first six months of 2025, primarily driven by a previously reported $13.7 million specific reserve tied to a $34.2 million loan in the cannabis sector. The Company’s cannabis loan portfolio had a balance of $103.0 million as of the end of the second quarter. The cannabis industry is facing operating challenges and the Bank’s cannabis loan portfolio, largely secured by real estate, poses an increased amount of credit risk. The portfolio has some larger relationships that could require material reserves in future periods if the operating headwinds persist.

Non-interest income increased by $5.0 million for the first six months of 2025 from a loss of $1.1 million for the first six months of 2024. In 2024, the Bank recorded a loss on sale of loans of $4.8 million. Fees and service charges and income on BOLI also increased $144 thousand and $48 thousand for the same period.

Non-interest expense increased by $1.1 million, or 3.8 percent, to $29.9 million for the first six months of 2025 from $28.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in operating expenses for 2025 was driven primarily by salaries and employee benefits which increased $1.1 million for the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Data processing costs and professional fees also increased, by $365 thousand and $260 thousand, respectively. Offsetting this was a decrease in regulatory fees and assessments of $582 thousand.

The income tax provision decreased by $5.6 million or 153.3 percent, to an income tax credit of $1.9 million for the first six months of 2025 when compared to a $3.6 million provision for the same period in 2024. The decrease in the income tax provision was a result of the lower taxable income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The consolidated effective tax rate was 28.9 percent for the first six months of 2025 compared to 29.4 percent for the first six months of 2024.

Asset Quality

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company recognized $5.7 million in net charge offs, compared to $1.8 million in net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2024.

The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $101.8 million, or 3.50 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2025, as compared to $32.4 million, or 1.01 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2024. More than 60 percent of the non-accrual loans are current with all payments of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, including the previously mentioned loan that has been allocated a specific reserve. However, even though the normal standard for non-accrual is a 90-day delinquency, logic and transparency dictates that this population of loans possess certain weaknesses that are beyond payment status and therefore, even though they are current, they should be placed on non-accrual. Although our borrowers have made payment of their loan obligations to BCB a priority, our evaluation of their financial condition causes some concern about their continued ability to do so. The allowance for credit losses was $50.7 million, or 1.74 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2025, and $35.2 million, or 1.10 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses was 49.8 percent of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2025, and 108.6 percent of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2024.
