BCB Bancorp, Inc. Earns $4.3 Million in Third Quarter 2025;

Reports $0.22 EPS and

Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.16 Per Share

BAYONNE, N.J., October 27, 2025 -- BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), (NASDAQ: BCBP), the holding company for BCB Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, and net income of $6.7 million for the third quarter of 2024. Earnings per diluted share for the third quarter were $0.22 compared to $0.18 per diluted share in the preceding quarter and $0.36 in the third 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 November 24, 2025, to common shareholders of record on November 10, 2025.

“We are pleased to report another profitable quarter with increasing capital ratios, a strong liquidity position, and continued focus on optimizing both the asset and liability sides of our balance sheet. Our net interest margin continued to expand on a linked quarter basis highlighting our efforts in successfully managing the funding profile of the Bank,” Michael Shriner, President and Chief Executive Officer of BCB Bank, explained.

“As disclosed previously, we continue to proactively address our asset quality and remain disciplined in booking loan loss provisioning expenses and assigning appropriate risk-ratings to support our loan loss reserves for the third quarter. The net charge-offs in the quarter were elevated primarily due to the $12.7 million charge-off of previously established specific reserves for a cannabis-related relationship, as reported in our first quarter press release,” added Mr. Shriner.

Executive Summary

 

   

Total deposits were $2.687 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to $2.662 billion at June 30, 2025.

The total cost of our interest-bearing liabilities decreased 10 basis points to 3.06 percent for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 3.16 percent for the second quarter of 2025, and decreased 56 basis points from 3.62 percent for the third quarter of 2024.

Total loans receivable, net of the allowance for credit losses, of $2.789 billion at September 30, 2025, decreased from $2.996 billion at December 31, 2024.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets decreased by $246.0 million, or 6.8 percent, to $3.353 billion at September 30, 2025, from $3.599 billion at December 31, 2024. This decrease is largely the result of a successful strategic initiative to enhance capital ratios. The decrease in total assets was mainly focused on a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and net loans.

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $67.7 million, or 21.3 percent, to $249.6 million at September 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 $207.3 million, or 6.9 percent, to $2.789 billion at September 30, 2025, from $2.996 billion at December 31, 2024. Total loan decreases during the period included decreases totaling $111.3 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans, $24.6 million in construction loans, $62.8 million in commercial business loans, and $5.9 million in 1-4 family residential loans and home equity loans. The allowance for credit losses increased $3.0 million to $37.8 million, or 40.4 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.34 percent of gross loans, at September 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 $14.1 million, or 12.7 percent, to $125.3 million at September 30, 2025, from $111.2 million at December 31, 2024, representing current year purchases, net of investments called during 2025.

Deposits decreased by $63.5 million, or 2.3 percent, to $2.687 billion at September 30, 2025, from $2.751 billion at December 31, 2024. Brokered deposits and transaction accounts decreased $68.5 million and $59.8 million, respectively, and were offset by increases in money market accounts, certificate of deposit accounts and savings accounts which totaled $64.8 million.

Debt obligations decreased by $174.4 million to $323.9 million at September 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 4.09 percent at September 30, 2025, and 4.35 percent at December 31, 2024. The weighted average maturity of FHLB advances as of September 30, 2025 was 0.61 years. The interest rate of our subordinated debt balances was 9.25 percent at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $5.5 million, or 1.7 percent, to $318.5 million at September 30, 2025, from $323.9 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was attributable to the decrease in retained earnings of $10.2 million, or 7.2 percent, to $131.7 million at September 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 was a decrease in our accumulated other comprehensive loss due to improvements in our investment portfolio, and an increase in our additional paid in capital.

Third Quarter 2025 Income Statement Review

Net income was $4.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and $6.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was due to $1.2 million more in credit loss provisioning and $2.6 million more in non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. This was offset by $1.1 million less in income tax provisioning and $666 thousand more in net interest income for the same period.

Interest income decreased by $5.6 million, or 11.5 percent, to $43.0 million for the third quarter of 2025 from $48.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $313.5 million, or 8.8 percent, to $3.265 billion for the third quarter of 2025 from $3.579 billion for the third quarter of 2024, while the average yield decreased 21 basis points to 5.23 percent for the third quarter of 2025 from 5.44 percent for the third quarter of 2024.

Interest expense decreased by $6.3 million to $19.3 million for the third quarter of 2025 from $25.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease resulted from a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 56 basis points to 3.06 percent for the third quarter of 2025 from 3.62 percent for the third quarter of 2024, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $318.2 million to $2.505 billion for the third quarter of 2025 from $2.823 billion for the third quarter of 2024.

The net interest margin increased to 2.88 percent for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2.58 percent for the third quarter of 2024. The increase in the net interest margin compared to the third 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 third quarter of 2025, the Company recognized $16.9 million in net charge-offs compared to $3.4 million in net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2024. A net charge-off of $12.7 million was recorded in connection with the elimination of previously established specific reserves for a cannabis-related relationship, as disclosed in the first quarter press release. These specific reserves were charged off, and the associated relationship was reclassified under the Other Real Estate Assets category. The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $93.5 million, or 3.31 percent of gross loans, at September 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 $37.8 million, or 1.34 percent of gross loans, at September 30, 2025, and $34.8 million, or 1.15 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2024. The provision for credit losses was $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2024. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses on loans was adequate at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Non-interest income decreased by $382 thousand to $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2025 from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in total non-interest income was mainly related to $782 thousand less in realized gains on equity investments and was partially offset by an increase in BOLI income of $279 thousand.

Non-interest expense increased by $2.6 million, or 19.0 percent, to $16.6 million for the third quarter of 2025 when compared to non-interest expense of $13.9 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase in these expenses for the third quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by salaries and employee benefits, data processing and communication costs and regulatory assessment fees which increased $1.2 million, $366 thousand and $318 thousand, respectively.

The income tax provision decreased by $1.1 million, to $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2025 from $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2024. The consolidated effective tax rate was 26.6 percent for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 28.7 percent for the third quarter of 2024.

Year-to-Date Income Statement Review

Net income decreased by $15.8 million to a loss of $498 thousand for the first nine months of 2025 from earnings of $15.4 million for the first nine months of 2024. The decrease in net income was driven, primarily, by provisioning for loan loss expense being $22.4 million higher, non-interest expense being $3.7 million higher and net interest income being $1.0 million lower. This was partly offset by the income tax provision being lower by $6.7 million and non-interest income being higher by $4.6 million.

Net interest income was $1.0 million lower as interest income decreased by $16.9 million, or 11.5 percent, to $130.4 million for the first nine months of 2025, from $147.4 million for the first nine months of 2024. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $301.0 million, or 8.3 percent, to $3.338 billion for the first nine months of 2025, from $3.639 billion for the first nine months of 2024, while the average yield decreased 18 basis points to 5.22 percent from 5.40 percent for the comparable period. The decrease in interest earning assets was primarily a result of loans and interest-bearing bank balances declining $299.4 million and $34.0 million, respectively. This was offset by an increase in investment securities

of $32.4 million. Offsetting the increase in interest income, interest expense decreased by $15.9 million, or 20.5 percent, to $61.6 million for 2025, from $77.5 million for 2024. This decrease resulted primarily from interest on deposits which decreased $13.4 million. Interest on borrowed money declined $2.5 million for the same period. Average deposits declined $208.0 million and the average rate paid on deposits declined 49 basis points to 2.87 percent from 3.36 percent. Average borrowed funds decreased $100.1 million for the same period. The average rate paid on borrowings increased by 30 basis points to 4.86 percent.

Net interest margin increased to 2.76 percent for the first nine months of 2025, compared to 2.56 percent for the first nine 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 39 basis points to 3.19 percent. Offsetting that, somewhat, was a decrease in the rate earned on earning assets, which decreased 18 basis points to 5.22 percent.

During the first nine months of 2025, the Company experienced $26.8 million in net charge offs compared to $6.3 million in net charge offs for the same period in 2024. The provision for credit losses increased from $7.4 million during the first nine months of 2024 to $29.8 million for the first nine 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. During the third quarter of 2025, this loan was charged off and the underlying collateral is now reported on the balance sheet as other real estate owned. The Company’s cannabis loan portfolio had a balance of $69.1 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2025. 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 $4.6 million to $6.6 million for the first nine months of 2025 from $2.0 million for the first nine months of 2024. In 2024, the Bank recorded a loss on sale of loans of $4.8 million. BOLI and fees and service charges also increased $327 thousand and $259 thousand in 2025. Offsetting this was a decrease in 2025 on realized/unrealized income on equity investments of $913 thousand.

Non-interest expense increased by $3.7 million, or 8.8 percent, to $46.5 million for the first nine months of 2025 from $42.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in operating expenses for 2025 was driven primarily by salaries and employee benefits which increased $2.3 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Data processing costs and professional fees also increased by $731 thousand and $442 thousand, respectively.

The income tax provision decreased by $6.7 million to an income tax benefit of $386 thousand for the first nine months of 2025 when compared to a $6.3 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Asset Quality

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company recognized $16.9 million in net charge offs, compared to $3.4 million in net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2024.

The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $93.5 million, or 3.31 percent of gross loans, at September 30, 2025, as compared to $35.3 million, or 1.13 percent of gross loans, at September 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses was $37.8 million, or 1.34 percent of gross loans, at September 30, 2025, and $34.7 million, or 1.11 percent of gross loans, at September 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses was 40.4 percent of non-accrual loans at September 30, 2025, and 98.2 percent of non-accrual loans at September 30, 2024.

We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of said safe harbor provisions.

Our ability to predict results or the actual effects of our plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from anticipated results.

The most significant factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include the ongoing impact of the Federal budget stalemate in Congress, global tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, higher inflation levels, and general economic and recessionary concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause increased loan delinquencies, a reduction in financial transactions and business activities, including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations. Other factors that could cause future results to vary materially from current management expectations as reflected in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to manage liquidity and capital in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, the global impact of the military conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East; unfavorable economic conditions in the United States generally and particularly in our primary market area; the Company’s ability to effectively attract and deploy deposits; changes in the Company’s corporate strategies, the composition of its assets, or the way in which it funds those assets; shifts in investor sentiment or behavior in the securities, capital, or other financial markets, including changes in market liquidity or volatility; the effects of declines in real estate values that may adversely impact the collateral underlying our loans; increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth; our level of non-performing assets and the costs associated with resolving any problem loans including litigation and other costs; the impact of changes in interest rates and the credit quality and strength of underlying collateral and the effect of such changes on the market value of our loan and investment securities portfolios; the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio; changes in the quality and composition of the Bank’s loan and investment portfolios; changes in our ability to access cost-effective funding; deposit flows; legislative and regulatory changes, including increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance rates; monetary and fiscal policies of the federal and state governments; changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities; demands for our loan products; demand for financial services; competition; changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets; changes in management’s business strategies; changes in consumer spending; our ability to hire and retain key employees; the effects of any reputational, credit, interest rate, market, operational, legal, liquidity, or regulatory risk; expanding regulatory requirements which could adversely affect operating results; civil unrest in the communities that we serve; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this report, and in other reports we filed with the SEC, including under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2024, and our other periodic reports that we file with the SEC.
