James A. Hughes, President and CEO, commented on the financial results: “Unity’s operating performance remains strong during this challenging economic environment. For the quarter, we achieved $9.9 million of net income, or $0.97 per diluted share. This represents 1.61% ROA and 15.84% ROE, which is among the highest in the community banking space.
Although our 3.96% net interest margin has modestly declined over the past few quarters due to increased interest rates and a shift in funding mix, our interest rate risk management remains sound, enabling us to consistently deliver top-tier operating results.
This quarter we opened a branch in Parsippany, New Jersey, marking our first branch in Morris County. We now have 21 retail locations, and we intend on continuing our expansion.
Looking ahead, we remain well-positioned for the future. Our strong capital base, conservative liquidity levels, and stable asset quality position provide us with the necessary foundation to continue delivering best-in-class service to the communities we serve. Furthermore, our results are a testament to the strength of our talented employee base and their unwavering commitment to excellence.”
