The information furnished in this item of this Form 8-K, and the related exhibits, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01           Other Events.

On July 23, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company extended the expiration date of the Company’s previously announced stock repurchase program (the “2022 Stock Repurchase Program”) from August 16, 2024 to August 20, 2025. As of July 23, 2024, the Stock Repurchase Program had $15.3 million remaining under its stock repurchase authorization.

Under the 2022 Stock Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. Any open market repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other applicable legal requirements. Repurchases may also be made pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, and other relevant considerations, as determined by the Company. The Company may, in its discretion, begin, suspend or terminate repurchases at any time prior to the 2022 Stock Repurchase Program’s expiration, without any prior notice.

On July 24, 2024, in its 2024 second quarter earnings release, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly cash dividend on its 5.875% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (“Series A Preferred Stock”).

St. Louis Park, MN – Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: BWB) (the Company), the parent company of Bridgewater Bank (the Bank), today announced net income of $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2024, and $9.8 million for the second quarter of 2023. Earnings per diluted common share were $0.26 for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.24 for the first quarter of 2024, and $0.31 for the second quarter of 2023.

“Bridgewater saw positive profitability momentum during the second quarter as total revenue and net interest income both increased for the first time since the third quarter of 2022,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jerry Baack. “We were pleased to see net interest margin hold steady as loan portfolio repricing increased. Meanwhile, the pace of balance sheet growth year-to-date remained on track with expectations, despite more moderated growth in the second quarter.

“Asset quality was superb once again as our Twin Cities-focused commercial real estate and multifamily portfolios continued to perform well despite a challenging environment. In addition, our unique corporate culture and responsive service model continued to shine as Bridgewater was recognized as a top workplace by the Star Tribune. Our ongoing focus on executing on our business model, serving our clients, and driving shareholder value over time, have now resulted in 30 consecutive quarters of tangible book value per share growth.”

Income Statement

Net Interest Margin and Net Interest Income

Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the second quarter of 2024 was 2.24%, stable with 2.24% in the first quarter of 2024, and a 16 basis point decline from 2.40% in the second quarter of 2023. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees, was 2.17% for the second quarter of 2024, a one basis point decline from 2.18% in the first quarter of 2024, and a 14 basis point decline from 2.31% in the second quarter of 2023.

● The linked-quarter margin remained stable.

● The year-over-year decline in the margin was primarily due to higher funding costs, offset partially by higher earning asset yields.

Net interest income was $25.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $365,000 from $24.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, and a decrease of $876,000 from $25.9 million in the second quarter of 2023.

● The linked-quarter increase in net interest income was primarily due to growth and higher yields in the loan and securities portfolios.

● The year-over year decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and growth in the rising interest rate environment, which outpaced the repricing of the loan and securities portfolios.

Interest income was $60.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $2.2 million from $58.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, and an increase of $5.9 million from $55.0 million in the second quarter of 2023.

● The yield on interest earning assets (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) was 5.41% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 5.28% in the first quarter of 2024 and 5.06% in the second quarter of 2023.

● The linked-quarter increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to growth and repricing of the loan portfolio at yields accretive to the existing portfolio.

● The year-over-year increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the purchase of higher yielding securities and the 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 5.50% in the second quarter of 2024, 12 basis points higher than 5.38% in the first quarter of 2024, and 31 basis points higher than 5.19% in the second quarter of 2023.

● 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
	June 30, 2024		March 30, 2024		December 31, 2023		September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023
Interest	5.42	%	5.31	%	5.25	%	5.16	%	5.09	%
Fees	0.08		0.07		0.08		0.10		0.10
Yield on Loans	5.50	%	5.38	%	5.33	%	5.26	%	5.19	%

Interest expense was $35.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $1.8 million from $34.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, and an increase of $6.8 million from $29.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.

● The cost of interest bearing liabilities was 4.19% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 4.03% in the first quarter of 2024 and 3.59% in the second quarter of 2023.

● The linked-quarter increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and an increase in the utilization of overnight borrowings.

● The year-over-year increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to continued deposit repricing in the higher rate environment.

Page 3 of 17

Interest expense on deposits was $31.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $1.4 million from $30.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, and an increase of $8.6 million from $23.0 million in the second quarter of 2023.

● The cost of total deposits was 3.46% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 3.32% in the first quarter of 2024 and 2.66% in the second quarter of 2023.

● The linked-quarter increase in the cost of total deposits was primarily due to continued client demand for higher interest rates, increased competition, and changes in the mix of 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 $600,000 for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $850,000 for the first quarter of 2024 and $550,000 for the second quarter of 2023.

● The provision for credit losses on loans recorded in the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to changes in the mix of the loan portfolio.

● The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 1.37% at June 30, 2024, compared to 1.36% at both March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

There was no provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures for the second quarter of 2024, compared to a negative provision of $100,000 for the first quarter of 2024 and a negative provision of $500,000 for the second quarter of 2023.

● No provision was recorded during the second quarter of 2024 due to unfunded commitments remaining stable as the migration to funded loans was offset by the volume of newly originated loans with unfunded commitments.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $213,000 from $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2024 and an increase of $348,000 from $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2023.

● The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to a net gain on sale of securities and higher letter of credit fees, offset partially by a decrease in other income.

● The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a net gain on sale of securities and an increase in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $350,000 from $15.2 million for the first quarter of 2024 and an increase of $1.3 million from $14.3 million for the second quarter of 2023.

● The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and other expense, offset partially by a decrease in the FDIC insurance assessment.

● The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, higher derivative collateral fees and information technology and telecommunications, offset partially by a decrease in the FDIC insurance assessment.

● The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 58.7% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 58.2% for the first quarter of 2024, and 52.3% for the second quarter of 2023.

● The Company had 258 full-time equivalent employees at June 30, 2024, compared to 255 employees at March 31, 2024, and 253 employees at June 30, 2023.

Income Taxes

The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 23.6%, a slight increase from 23.5% for the first quarter of 2024 and an increase from 24.3% for the second quarter of 2023.

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 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 sustained high interest rates; 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 high 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 that resulted in recent bank failures; 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

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 sustained high interest rates; 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 high 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 that resulted in recent bank failures; 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; 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 bank failures; 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 ongoing 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; 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
