Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2022 Net Income
of $12.9 Million, $0.41 Diluted Earnings Per Common Share

Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: BWB) (the Company), the parent company of Bridgewater Bank (the Bank), today announced net income of $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, a 5.1% increase over net income of $12.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, and a 17.2% increase over net income of $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2021. Earnings per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2022 were $0.41, a 6.8% increase compared to $0.39 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2022, and a 9.2% increase compared to $0.38 per diluted common share for the same period in 2021.

“Bridgewater produced another strong quarter of financial results highlighted by record revenue and continued robust balance sheet growth,” said Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jerry Baack. “During the quarter, we were able to maintain a stable net interest margin with well-controlled expenses, all while providing responsive support and simple solutions to our growing client base. While our asset quality continues to be superb, we remain diligent in how we are managing the business in this uncertain macroeconomic environment. We were also active in repurchasing our common stock during the quarter, demonstrating our continued confidence in the momentum we have established.

“This momentum is a direct result of our unconventional corporate culture. We were once again recognized as a top workplace in 2022 by the Star Tribune and as the best business bank, small business bank and commercial mortgage lender in the Twin Cities by the Finance & Commerce reader rankings. The hard work and dedication of our team members remain primary catalysts for our continued growth.”

Today the Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its 5.875% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A ("Series A Preferred Stock"). The quarterly cash dividend of $36.72 per share, equivalent to $0.3672 per depositary share, each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of the Series A Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: BWBBP), is payable on September 1, 2022 to shareholders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on August 15, 2022.

Income Statement

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $32.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.4 million, or 7.8%, from $30.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $6.2 million, or 23.7%, from $26.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter increase in net interest income was primarily due to growth in average interest earning assets. The year-over-year increase in net interest income was primarily due to growth in average interest earning assets and lower rates paid on deposits, offset partially by declining yields on loans and lower PPP fee recognition. Average interest earning assets were $3.67 billion for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $241.0 million, or 7.0%, from $3.43 billion for the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $652.3 million, or 21.6%, from $3.02 billion for the second quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter and year-over-year increases in average interest earning assets were primarily due to strong organic growth in the loan portfolio and continued purchases of investment securities, offset partially by the forgiveness of PPP loans and the reduction of cash balances.

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the second quarter of 2022 was 3.58%, a modest two basis point decline from 3.60% in the first quarter of 2022, and a six basis point increase from 3.52% in the second quarter of 2021. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees and PPP balances, interest, and fees, for the second quarter of 2022 was 3.34%, which was stable compared to 3.34% in the first quarter of 2022, and a three basis point increase from 3.31% in the second quarter of 2021. The stability in core net interest margin on a linked-quarter basis was primarily due to rising earning asset yields in conjunction with increasing funding costs associated with the higher interest rate environment. With the rapid increase in interest rates in 2022, earning asset yields and funding costs have both reached a bottom. The Company remains focused

Page 4 of 17

on the impact of continued interest rate hikes and the evolving shape of the yield curve throughout 2022.

As the PPP loan portfolio pays down, the recognition of fees associated with the originations has decreased, which impacts comparability between periods. The Company recognized $244,000 of PPP origination fees during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $519,000 during the first quarter of 2022, and $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2021. Remaining PPP origination fees to be recognized as of June 30, 2022 were $135,000.

Interest income was $37.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $3.1 million, or 8.9%, from $34.7 million in the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $6.6 million, or 21.3%, from $31.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. The yield on interest earning assets (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) was 4.16% in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 4.13% in the first quarter of 2022, and 4.17% in the second quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter expansion in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the rapid increase in market interest rates resulting in new loan originations and investment purchases at yields accretive to the existing portfolios. The year-over-year decline in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the lower recognition of PPP origination fees, offset partially by rising yields in the investment securities portfolio.

Loan interest income and loan fees remain the primary contributing factors to the changes in the yield on interest earning assets. The aggregate loan yield, excluding PPP loans, increased to 4.43% in the second quarter of 2022, which was three basis points higher than 4.40% in the first quarter of 2022, and 11 basis points lower than 4.54% in the second quarter of 2021. Given the stability in the core loan yield on a linked-quarter basis, the Company is encouraged that the portfolio yield has bottomed as new loan originations and the existing portfolio continue to reprice in the higher rate environment.

A summary of interest and fees recognized on loans, excluding PPP loans, for the periods indicated is as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2022		March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		September 30, 2021		June 30, 2021
Interest	4.17	%	4.15	%	4.20	%	4.28	%	4.37	%
Fees	0.26		0.25		0.21		0.23		0.17
Yield on Loans, Excluding PPP Loans	4.43	%	4.40	%	4.41	%	4.51	%	4.54	%

Interest expense was $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $738,000, or 16.3%, from $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $393,000, or 8.1%, from $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2021. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased six basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 0.80% in the first quarter of 2022 to 0.86% in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the rapid increase in market interest rates that occurred during the quarter. On a year-over-year basis, the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 10 basis points from 0.96% in the second quarter of 2021 to 0.86% in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the downward repricing of time and brokered deposits over the course of the year.

Interest expense on deposits was $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $298,000, or 9.4%, from $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, and a decrease of $57,000, or 1.6%, from $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. The cost of total deposits increased three basis points on a linked-quarter basis from 0.43% in the first quarter of 2022, to 0.46% in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the rapid increase in the interest rate environment. On a year-over-year basis, the cost of total deposits declined 8 basis points from 0.54% in the second quarter of 2021, to 0.46% in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the downward repricing of time and brokered deposits over the course of the year.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.4 million from $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $1.4 million from $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2021. The provision recorded in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable to the robust growth of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.39% at June 30, 2022, compared to 1.40% at March 31, 2022, and 1.45% at June 30, 2021.

As an emerging growth company, the Company is not subject to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments,“ or CECL, until January 1, 2023.

The following table presents the activity in the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $93,000 from $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $47,000 from $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to an increase in letter of credit fees and other income, offset partially by a decrease in swap fees. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in letter of credit fees, bank-owned life insurance income and other income, offset partially by lower gains on sales of securities.

The following table presents the major components of noninterest income for the periods indicated:

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $13.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $244,000 from $13.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $2.3 million from $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits, offset partially by a decrease in marketing and advertising expenses. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, professional and consulting fees, marketing and advertising, and other expenses.

The Company continues to add key talent across the organization, reaching 236 full-time equivalent employees at June 30, 2022, compared to 229 employees at March 31, 2022, and 214 employees at June 30, 2021.

The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 40.2% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 42.4% for the first quarter of 2022, and 42.0% for the second quarter of 2021. Excluding the impact of certain non-routine income and expenses, the adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 40.0% for the second quarter of 2022, 42.0% for the first quarter of 2022 and 41.5% for the second quarter of 2021.

Income Taxes

The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 26.0%, a slight increase from 25.9% for the first quarter of 2022 and 25.8% for the second quarter of 2021.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at June 30, 2022 were $3.88 billion, a 7.6% increase from $3.61 billion at March 31, 2022, and a 22.8% increase from $3.16 billion at June 30, 2021. The linked-quarter increase in total assets was primarily due to robust organic loan growth and continued purchases of investment securities. The year-over-year increase in total assets was primarily due to strong organic loan growth and purchases of investment securities, offset partially by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Total gross loans at June 30, 2022 were $3.23 billion, an increase of $237.9 million, or 8.0%, over total gross loans of $2.99 billion at March 31, 2022, and an increase of $631.7 million, or 24.4%, over total gross loans of $2.59 billion at June 30, 2021. The increase in the loan portfolio during the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to growth in the commercial, construction and land development, multifamily, and CRE nonowner occupied segments, offset partially by the forgiveness of PPP loans. The Company's continued strong loan growth has been driven by the expansion of its talented lending teams, the strong, growing brand of the Bank in the Twin Cities market and the M&A-related market disruption in the Twin Cities resulting in client and banker acquisition opportunities.

Total deposits at June 30, 2022 were $3.20 billion, an increase of $166.3 million, or 5.5%, over total deposits of $3.04 billion at March 31, 2022, and an increase of $481.0 million, or 17.7%, over total deposits of $2.72 billion at June 30, 2021. Deposit growth in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in noninterest bearing transaction deposits, savings and money market deposits, and brokered deposits, offset partially by declines in interest bearing transaction deposits and time deposits. On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest bearing transaction deposits increased $126.5 million, or 15.1%, compared to March 31, 2022. Similar to the loan portfolio, the growth in core deposits has been a result of successful new client and banker acquisition initiatives, expansion of commercial client relationships, and the strong, growing brand of the Bank in the Twin Cities market. Given the rapid rise in interest rates and the prospect for more, management believes deposits could experience fluctuations in future periods.

The following table presents the dollar composition of the Company’s deposit portfolio, by category, at the dates indicated:

Capital

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2022 was $374.9 million, a decrease of $4.6 million compared to total shareholders’ equity of $379.4 million at March 31, 2022, and an increase of $84.1 million, or 28.9%, over total shareholders’ equity of $290.8 million at June 30, 2021. The linked-quarter decrease was due to an increase unrealized losses in the securities portfolio and stock repurchases made under the Company’s stock repurchase program, offset by net income retained and unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio. The year-over-year increase was due to net income retained, the issuance of preferred stock, and unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio, offset partially by an increase in stock repurchases made under the Company’s stock repurchase program and an increase in unrealized losses in the securities portfolio.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 492,417 shares of its common stock. Shares were repurchased at a weighted average price of $16.16 per share for a total of $8.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $3.2 million remaining under the current stock repurchase program. The Company remains committed to maintaining strong capital levels while enhancing shareholder value as it strategically executes its stock repurchase program based on various factors including valuation, capital levels and other uses of capital.

The linked-quarter increase occurred despite the market value depreciation of the securities portfolio driven by the rising interest rate environment, which continues to negatively impact

Loans that warranted a substandard risk rating at June 30, 2022 totaled $27.0 million, compared to $18.6 million at March 31, 2022, and $7.2 million at June 30, 2021. The linked-quarter increase was due to the migration of one relationship from watch to a substandard risk rating.

Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: the negative effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including its effects on the economic environment, our clients and our operations, including due to supply chain disruptions, as well as any changes to federal, state or local government laws, regulations or orders in connection with the pandemic; loan concentrations in our portfolio; the overall health of the local and national real estate market; our ability to successfully manage credit risk; business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our market area, including rising rates of inflation; our ability to maintain an adequate level of allowance for loan losses; new or revised accounting standards, including as a result of the future implementation of the Current Expected Credit Loss standard; the concentration of large loans to certain borrowers; the concentration of large deposits from certain clients; our ability to successfully manage liquidity risk, especially in light of recent excess liquidity at the Bank; our dependence on non-core funding sources and our cost of funds; our ability to raise additional capital to implement our business plan; our ability to implement our growth strategy and manage costs effectively; developments and uncertainty related to the future use and availability of some reference rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate, as well as other alternative reference rates; the composition of our senior leadership team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel; talent and labor shortages and high rates of employee turnover; the occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches or failures of our information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents; interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications systems or third-party servicers; competition in the financial services industry, including from nonbank competitors such as credit unions and “fintech” companies; the effectiveness of our risk management framework; the commencement and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings and regulatory actions against us; the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, including changes to federal and state corporate tax rates; interest rate risk, including the effects of recent and anticipated rate increases by the Federal Reserve; fluctuations in the values of the securities held in our securities portfolio; the imposition of tariffs or other governmental policies impacting the value of products produced by our commercial borrowers; severe weather, natural disasters, wide spread disease or pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events including the Russian invasion of Ukraine; potential impairment to the goodwill we recorded in connection with our past acquisition; changes to U.S. or state tax laws, regulations and guidance, including recent proposals to increase the federal corporate tax rate; and any other risks described in the “Risk Factors” sections of reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
