St. Louis Park, MN – Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: BWB) (the Company), the parent company of Bridgewater Bank (the Bank), today announced net income of $8.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $9.6 million for the third quarter of 2023, and $13.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Earnings per diluted common share were $0.28 for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $0.30 for the third quarter of 2023, and $0.45 for the fourth quarter of 2022.

“Bridgewater finished 2023 strong with the continuation of several positive trends as net interest margin continued to stabilize, deposit growth outpaced loan growth, and asset quality remained superb,” said Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jerry Baack. “We also returned capital to shareholders by opportunistically repurchasing shares of common stock during the fourth quarter, while tangible book value per share increased for the 28th consecutive quarter.

“As we enter 2024, we are optimistic about our outlook as our balance sheet is well-positioned to benefit as the yield curve normalizes. In addition, our loan pipeline has begun to grow once again as loan demand has started to increase. By moderating our loan growth and reducing our loan-to-deposit ratio over the past few quarters, we believe we can continue to gain market share by deploying capital into more profitable loan growth as the interest rate environment improves.”

Income Statement

Net Interest Margin and Net Interest Income

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 2.27%, a five basis point decline from 2.32% in the third quarter of 2023 and an 89 basis point decline from 3.16% in the fourth quarter of 2022. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees, and prior to 2023, PPP balances, interest, and fees, was 2.21% for the fourth quarter of 2023, a three basis point decline from 2.24% in the third quarter of 2023, and an 84 basis point decline from 3.05% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

● The linked-quarter and year-over-year declines in the margin were primarily due to higher funding costs, offset partially by higher earning asset yields.

Net interest income was $25.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $107,000 from $25.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $7.6 million from $32.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

● The linked-quarter and year-over year decreases in net interest income were primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits in the rising interest rate environment.

● Average interest earning assets were $4.48 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $64.0 million, or 1.4%, from $4.42 billion for the third quarter of 2023, and an increase of $302.8 million, or 7.2%, from $4.18 billion for the fourth quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to an increase in cash and purchases of investment securities. The year-over-year increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio, purchases of investment securities, and an increase in cash.

Interest income was $58.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $1.7 million from $56.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, and an increase of $9.7 million from $48.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

● The yield on interest earning assets (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) was 5.22% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 5.14% in the third quarter of 2023 and 4.67% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

● The linked-quarter increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the purchase of higher yielding securities and loans repricing at yields accretive to the existing portfolio.

● The year-over-year increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to growth and repricing of the loan and securities portfolios in the rising interest rate environment.

● 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 increased to 5.33% in the fourth quarter of 2023, which was seven basis points higher than 5.26% in the third quarter of 2023, and 46 basis points higher than 4.87% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

● While loan fees have historically maintained a relatively stable contribution to the aggregate loan yield, the recent periods saw fewer loan prepayments, which historically has accelerated the recognition of loan fees. Despite the overall decrease in fee recognition, the Company is encouraged that the core loan yield continues to rise as new loan originations and the existing portfolio reprice in the higher rate environment.

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

	Three Months Ended
	December 31, 2023		September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Interest	5.25	%	5.16	%	5.09	%	4.95	%	4.75	%
Fees	0.08		0.10		0.10		0.11		0.12
Yield on Loans	5.33	%	5.26	%	5.19	%	5.06	%	4.87	%

Interest expense was $33.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $1.9 million from $31.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, and an increase of $17.3 million from $16.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

● The cost of interest bearing liabilities was 3.97% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 3.81% in the third quarter of 2023 and 2.22% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

● The linked-quarter increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits in the rising interest rate environment.

● The year-over-year increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to the rapid increase in market interest rates that occurred between the periods, which impacted all funding sources.

Interest expense on deposits was $29.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.2 million from $27.2 million in the third quarter of 2023, and an increase of $18.7 million from $10.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Page 3 of 17

● The cost of total deposits was 3.19% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 2.99% in the third quarter of 2023 and 1.31% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

● The linked-quarter increase in the cost of total deposits was primarily due to client demands for higher interest rates and increased competition for deposits.

● The year-over-year increase in the cost of total deposits was primarily due to upward repricing of the deposit portfolio in the higher interest rate environment.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses on loans was $0 for both the fourth quarter of 2023 and the third quarter of 2023, compared to $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

● No provision for credit losses on loans was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to a more managed pace of loan growth.

● The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 1.36% at both December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, compared to 1.34% at December 31, 2022.

The provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was a negative provision of $250,000 for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to a negative provision of $600,000 for the third quarter of 2023 and zero for the fourth quarter of 2022.

● The negative provision during the quarter was due to a reduction in outstanding unfunded commitments primarily attributable to the migration to funded loans, as well as a moderation in volume of newly originated projects with unfunded commitments.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $317,000 from $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of $329,000 from $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

● The linked-quarter decrease was primarily due to $493,000 of FHLB prepayment income recognized in the previous quarter which did not reoccur, offset partially by higher letter of credit fees and other income.

● The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to lower other income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $15.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $503,000 from $15.2 million for the third quarter of 2023 and an increase of $537,000 from $15.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

● The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, information technology and telecommunications, and marketing and advertising.

● The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to industry-wide increases in the FDIC insurance assessment, higher professional and consulting fees and information technology and telecommunications, offset partially by decreases in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment.

● The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 58.8% for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 56.1% for the third quarter of 2023, and 43.8% for the fourth quarter of 2022.

● The Company had 255 full-time equivalent employees at both December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, compared to 246 employees at December 31, 2022.

Income Taxes

The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 21.0%, a decrease from 23.0% for the third quarter of 2023 and 23.4% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The effective combined federal and state rate for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 23.9% and 25.5%, respectively.

● The linked-quarter decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the delivery of two tax credits that occurred within the fourth quarter.

● The Company early adopted ASU 2023-02 applying the modified retrospective method which reclassified noninterest expense to income tax expense effective January 1, 2023.

Asset Quality

Overall asset quality remained superb due to the Company’s measured risk selection, consistent underwriting standards, active credit oversight, and experienced lending and credit teams.

● Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.01% for both the fourth quarter of 2023 and the third quarter of 2023, and 0.00% for the fourth quarter of 2022.

● At December 31, 2023, the Company’s nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days and still accruing, and foreclosed assets, were $919,000, or 0.02% of total assets, as compared to $749,000, or 0.02%, of total assets at September 30, 2023, and $639,000, or 0.01% of total assets at December 31, 2022.

● Loans with potential weaknesses that warrant a watchlist risk rating at December 31, 2023 totaled $26.5 million, compared to $26.9 million at September 30, 2023, and $32.3 million at December 31, 2022.

● Loans that warranted a substandard risk rating at December 31, 2023 totaled $35.9 million, compared to $35.6 million at September 30, 2023, and $28.0 million at December 31, 2022.

● Loans past due 30-89 days increased quarter over quarter due to the timing of closing on one matured loan. The closing occurred subsequent to year-end and the loan continues to perform as a pass-rated credit.

Capital

Total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2023 was $425.5 million, an increase of $9.6 million, or 2.3%, compared to total shareholders’ equity of $416.0 million at September 30, 2023, and an increase of $31.5 million, or 8.0%, over total shareholders’ equity of $394.1 million at December 31, 2022.

● The linked-quarter increase was due to net income retained and a decrease in unrealized losses in the securities portfolio, offset partially by a decrease in unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio, preferred stock dividends, and stock repurchases.

● The year-over-year increase was due to net income retained and a decrease in unrealized losses in the securities portfolio, offset partially by a decrease in unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio, the adoption of the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) accounting methodology, preferred stock dividends, and stock repurchases.

● The Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 9.16% at December 31, 2023, compared to 9.07% at September 30, 2023 and 8.40% at December 31, 2022.

● Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 7.73% at December 31, 2023, compared to 7.61% at September 30, 2023, and 7.48% at December 31, 2022.

Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $12.84 as of December 31, 2023, an increase of 3.7% from $12.37 as of September 30, 2023, and an increase of 9.8% from $11.69 as of December 31, 2022.

● The Company has increased tangible book value per share each of the past 28 quarters.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the company repurchased 423,749 shares of its common stock. Shares were repurchased at a weighted average price of $10.72 per share for a total of $4.5 million.

● The Company has $20.5 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorization.

Today, the Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend on its 5.875% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (Series A Preferred Stock).

Use of Non-GAAP financial measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the related GAAP measures, provide meaningful information to investors to help them understand the Company’s operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP disclosures used in this earnings release to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying tables.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. 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: interest rate risk, including the effects of recent and potential additional rate increases by the Federal Reserve; fluctuations in the values of the securities held in our securities portfolio, including as the result of changes in interest rates; business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our market area, including rising rates of inflation and possible recession; the effects of developments and events in the financial services industry, including the large-scale deposit withdrawals over a short period of time at Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank that resulted in the failure of those institutions; loan concentrations in our portfolio; the overall health of the local and national real estate market; our ability to successfully manage credit risk; our ability to maintain an adequate level of allowance for credit losses on loans; new or revised accounting standards; the concentration of large loans to certain borrowers; the concentration of large deposits from certain clients, who have balances above current FDIC insurance limits; our ability to successfully manage liquidity risk, which may increase our dependence on non-core funding sources such as brokered deposits, and negatively impact

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; 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 or our third-party vendors’ information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents, including as a result of sophisticated attacks using artificial intelligence and similar tools; 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 in response to the failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank in 2023; risks related to climate change and the negative impact it may have on our customers and their businesses; the imposition of other governmental policies impacting the value of products produced by our commercial borrowers; severe weather, natural disasters, wide spread disease or pandemics, acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Russian invasion of Ukraine; potential impairment to the goodwill the Company recorded in connection with our past acquisition; changes to U.S. or state tax laws, regulations and guidance, including the new 1% excise tax on stock buybacks by publicly traded companies; potential changes in federal policy and at regulatory agencies as a result of the upcoming 2024 presidential election; and any other risks described in the “Risk Factors” sections of reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Exhibit 99.2

Disclaimer Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, estimates, calculations, forecasts and projections with respect to the anticipated future performance of the Company. These statements are often, but not always, identified by words such as “may”, “might”, “should”, “could”, “predict”, “potential”, “believe”, “expect”, “continue”, “will”, “anticipate”, “seek”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “would”, “annualized”, “target” and “outlook”, or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. 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: interest rate risk, including the effects of recent and potential additional rate increases by the Federal Reserve; fluctuations in the values of the securities held in our securities portfolio, including as the result of changes in interest rates; business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our market area, including rising rates of inflation and possible recession; the effects of recent developments and events in the financial services industry, including the large-scale deposit withdrawals over a short period of time at Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank that resulted in the failure of those institutions; loan concentrations in our portfolio; the overall health of the local and national real estate market; our ability to successfully manage credit risk; our ability to maintain an adequate level of allowance for loan losses; new or revised accounting standards; the concentration of large loans to certain borrowers; the concentration of large deposits from certain clients, who have balances above current FDIC insurance limits; our ability to successfully manage liquidity risk, which may increase our dependence on non-core funding sources such as brokered deposits, and negatively impact 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; 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 or our third-party vendors’ information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents, including as a result of sophisticated attacks using artificial intelligence and similar tools; 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 in response to the recent failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank in 2023; risks related to climate change and the negative impact it may have on our customers and their businesses; the imposition of other governmental policies impacting the value of products produced by our commercial borrowers; severe weather, natural disasters, wide spread disease or pandemics, acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Russian invasion of Ukraine; potential impairment to the goodwill the Company recorded in connection with our past acquisition; changes to U.S. or state tax laws, regulations and guidance, including the new 1% excise tax on stock buybacks by publicly traded companies; potential changes in federal policy and at regular agencies as a result of the upcoming 2024 presidential election; and any other risks described in the “Risk Factors” sections of reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. Certain of the information contained in this presentation is derived from information provided by industry sources. Although the Company believe that such information is accurate and that the sources from which it has been obtained are reliable, the Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of, and have not independently verified, such information. Use of Non-GAAP financial measures In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. General Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the related GAAP measures, provide meaningful information to investors to help them understand the Company’s operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP disclosures to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in this presentation. 2
