Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, or the PSLRA. Such forward-looking statements, in addition to historical information, involve risk and uncertainties, and are based on the beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our management team. Words such as “expects,” “believes,” “should,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “will,” “potential,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “outlook,” “predict,” “project,” “would,” “estimated,” “assumes,” “likely,” and variation of such similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those that we anticipated in our forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.

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, higher tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, higher inflation levels, current interest rates and general economic and recessionary concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause a reduction in financial transactions and business activities, including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations. Also significant are our ability to manage liquidity and capital in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market and our level of non-performing assets and the costs associated with resolving any problem loans including litigation and other costs. 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:

the global economic trends and geopolitical risks, including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and changes in the rate of investment or economic growth, including as a result of sanctions, tariffs or other measures;

unfavorable economic conditions in the United States generally and particularly in our primary market area and those of our customers;

supply chain disruptions and labor shortages;

the impact of any future pandemics or other natural disasters;

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;

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 but not limited to, increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance rates;

monetary and fiscal policies of the federal and state governments, including changes in government priorities or budgets;

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;

our ability to enter new markets successfully;

our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses;

changes in consumer spending;

our ability to retain key employees;

the effects of any reputational, credit, interest rate, market, operational, legal, liquidity, or regulatory risk;

potential impact of regulatory requirements, matters, litigation, or other legal actions which could adversely affect operating results;

failure to identify and adequately and promptly address cybersecurity risks, including data breaches and cyberattacks;

developments in technology, such as artificial intelligence, and our ability to incorporate innovative technologies in our business and provide products and services that satisfy our customers’ expectations for convenience and security;

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, in Part II, Item 1A of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and our other periodic reports that we file with the SEC.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our expectations only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We do not assume any obligation to revise forward-looking statements except as may be required by law.

Overview

BCB Bancorp, Inc. is a New Jersey corporation, and is the holding company parent of BCB Community Bank, or the Bank. The Company has not engaged in any significant business activity other than owning all of the outstanding common stock of BCB Community Bank. Our executive office is located at 104-110 Avenue C, Bayonne, New Jersey 07002. At March 31, 2026, we had $3.269 billion in consolidated assets, $2.672 billion in deposits and $307.4 million in consolidated stockholders’ equity.

BCB Community Bank opened for business on November 1, 2000 as Bayonne Community Bank, a New Jersey chartered commercial bank. The Bank changed its name from Bayonne Community Bank to BCB Community Bank in April 2007. At March 31, 2026, the Bank operated twenty-three branches in Bayonne, Edison, Jersey City, Hoboken, Fairfield, Holmdel, Lyndhurst, Maplewood, Monroe Township, Newark, Parsippany, Plainsboro, River Edge, Rutherford, South Orange, Union, and Woodbridge, New Jersey, as well as three branches in Hicksville and Staten Island, NY, and through executive offices located at 104-110 Avenue C and an administrative office located at 591-595 Avenue C, Bayonne, New Jersey 07002.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Estimates and assumptions are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and can be susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting estimates are defined as those that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had, or could have, a material impact on the Company’s financial conditions or results of operation. At March 31, 2026, the Company considers the allowance for credit losses to be a critical accounting estimate.

See further discussion of this critical accounting estimate in Notes 2 and 7 of this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the amount paid in a business acquisition that exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net assets. If any changes occur during the measurement period, the company might revise the goodwill balance based on updated assessments of provisional amounts.

‎

‎Goodwill must be tested for impairment at least once a year or when specific events occur that could impact its value. It’s assessed at the reporting unit level. The Company’s policy is to test goodwill every October 31st or earlier if a triggering event takes place. Such events could include poor financial performance, a drop in the Company’s stock price compared to its book value, or broader economic or industry conditions. When a test is triggered, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its book value. If the fair value is lower, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss.

A significant amount of judgment is involved in the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that the Company’s goodwill has become impaired, which would result in recording an impairment loss. Management will continue evaluating the economic conditions at future reporting periods for triggering events.

See Note 10 – Goodwill and Other Intangible assets of this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the Company’s goodwill and intangibles.

Financial Condition

Total assets decreased by $10.4 million, or 0.3 percent, to $3.269 billion at March 31, 2026, from $3.280 billion at December 31, 2025. This decrease is the result of fewer net loans, offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $17.2 million, or 6.2 percent, to $293.7 million at March 31, 2026, from $276.6 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in cash was primarily due to loan cash flows.

Loans receivable, net, decreased by $35.1 million, or 1.3 percent, to $2.656 billion at March 31, 2026, from $2.691 billion at December 31, 2025, due to loan payoffs, paydowns and charge-offs. Total loan decreases during the period included decreases of $19.3 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans, $12.1 million in commercial business loans and $4.6 million in 1-4 family residential loans and home equity loans. The allowance for credit losses decreased $1.1 million to $32.6 million, or 54.5 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.21 percent of gross loans, at March 31, 2026, as compared to an allowance for credit losses of $33.7 million, or 53.3 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.24 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2025.

Total investments increased by $7.5 million, or 5.6 percent, to $143.1 million at March 31, 2026, from $135.6 million at December 31, 2025, representing current year purchases, net of maturity and paydowns during 2026.

Deposits decreased by $1.1 million, or 0.04 percent, to $2.672 billion at March 31, 2026, from $2.674 billion at December 31, 2025. Certificates of deposit, non-interest bearing accounts and savings and club accounts decreased $33.7 million, and were offset by increases in money market accounts and interest bearing deposit accounts which totaled $32.6 million.

Debt obligations decreased by $9.9 million to $268.3 million at March 31, 2026, from $278.2 million at December 31, 2025, due to maturities of our FHLB advances. The weighted average interest rate of FHLB advances was 4.70 percent at March 31, 2026, and 4.53 percent

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are those accounting policies that can have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations that require the use of complex and subjective estimates based upon past experiences and management’s judgment. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. Below are those policies applied in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements that management believes are the most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions. For additional accounting policies, see Note 2 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Allowance for Credit losses

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326), which replaced the incurred loss methodology with a current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit. Loans receivable are presented net of an allowance for credit losses and net deferred loan fees. In determining the appropriate level of the allowance, management considers a combination of factors, such as economic and industry trends, real estate market conditions, size and type of loans in portfolio, nature and value of collateral held, borrowers’ financial strength and credit ratings, and prepayment and default history. The calculation of the appropriate allowance for credit losses relies on econometric models to estimate the quantitative reserves and also the use of qualitative factors to supplement the quantitative calculation. The process of establishing allowance for credit losses is complex and requires a substantial amount of judgment regarding the impact of the aforementioned factors, as well as other factors, on the ultimate realization of loans receivable. In addition, our determination of the amount of the allowance for credit losses is subject to review by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the FDIC, as part of their examination process. After a review of the information available, our regulators might require the establishment of an additional allowance. Any increase in the allowance for loan loss required by regulators would have a negative impact on our earnings. Refer to Note 5 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s allowance for credit loss process.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Based on a quantitative assessment, management determined that the Company’s recorded goodwill totaling $5.2 million, is not impaired as of December 31, 2025.

Financial Condition at December 31, 2025 and 2024

Total assets decreased by $319.7 million, or 8.9 percent, to $3.279 billion at December 31, 2025, from $3.599 billion at December 31, 2024. This decrease is largely the result of a successful strategic initiative to enhance our capital ratios. The decrease in total assets was mainly driven by decreases in cash and cash equivalents and net loans.

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $40.7 million, or 12.8 percent, to $276.6 million at December 31, 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 running off higher cost brokered deposits and paying down FHLB advances.

Loans receivable, net, decreased by $305.2 million, or 10.2 percent, to $2.691 billion at December 31, 2025, from $2.996 billion at December 31, 2024, due to payoffs, paydowns and charge-offs. Total loan decreases during the period included decreases totaling $151.0 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans, $90.6 in commercial business loans, $61.5 million in construction loans and $5.6 million in 1-4 family residential loans and home equity loans. The allowance for credit losses decreased $1.1 million to $33.7 million, or 53.3 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.24 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 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 investments increased by $24.4 million, or 21.9 percent, to $135.6 million at December 31, 2025, from $111.2 million at December 31, 2024, representing current year purchases, net of investments called during 2025.

Deposits decreased by $77.3 million, or 2.8 percent, to $2.674 billion at December 31, 2025, from $2.751 billion at December 31, 2024. Brokered deposits, transaction accounts and savings accounts decreased $97.1 million, $41.8 million and $8.8 million, respectively, and were offset by increases in money market accounts and certificate of deposit accounts which totaled $70.7 million.

Debt obligations decreased by $220.1 million to $278.2 million at December 31, 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 4.53 percent at December 31, 2025, and 4.35 percent at December 31, 2024. The weighted average maturity of FHLB advances as of December 31, 2025 was 0.46 years. The interest rate of our subordinated debt balances was 9.25 percent at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $19.6 million, or 6.1 percent, to $304.3 million at December 31, 2025, from $323.9 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was attributable to the decrease in retained earnings of $25.4 million, or 17.9 percent, to $116.4 million at December 31, 2025, from $141.9 million at December 31, 2024, caused largely by the $12.5 million net loss in 2025, due to additions to the allowance for credit losses and the $15.1 million (pre-tax) write down of the cannabis-related OREO property. Offsetting this was a decrease in our accumulated other comprehensive loss and an increase in our additional paid in capital.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

Net income decreased by $31.2 million to a net loss of $12.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, from earnings of $18.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in net income was driven primarily by provisioning for loan loss expense being $30.4 million higher and non-interest expense being $20.8 million higher. This was offset by the tax provision being $13.4 million lower, non-interest income being $5.6 million higher, and the net interest income being $1.0 million higher.

Net interest income was $1.0 million higher as interest expense decreased by $22.1 million, or 21.6 percent, to $79.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, from $102.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Offsetting the decrease in interest expense, interest income decreased by $21.1 million, or 10.9 percent, to $173.0 million for 2025, from $194.0 million for 2024. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $308.5 million, or 8.6 percent, to $3.296 billion at December 31, 2025, from $3.605 billion at December 31, 2024. The average yield decreased 13 basis points to 5.25 percent from 5.38 percent when comparing the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, with the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in interest earning assets was primarily a result of loans and interest-bearing bank balances declining, on average, $298.6 million and $38.8 million, respectively. This was offset by an increase in average investment securities of $28.9 million.

Net interest margin increased to 2.82 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to 2.55 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 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 43 basis points to 3.14 percent. Offsetting that, somewhat, was a decrease in the rate earned on earning assets, which decreased 13 basis points to 5.25 percent.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company experienced $43.1 million in net charge-offs compared to $10.4 million in net charge-offs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The elevated net charge-offs were partly driven by the $12.7 million of net charge-off recorded in connection with the elimination of specific reserves for a cannabis-related relationship. Additionally, the Bank recorded higher net charge-offs in the C&I portfolio of $29.2 million of which $9.8 million were related to the Bank’s Business Express loans. The provision for credit losses increased from $11.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, to $42.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

BOLI income and fees and service charges also increased $692 thousand and $245 thousand, respectively, in 2025.

The increase in operating expenses for 2025 was driven primarily by the Bank recording a one-time $15.1 million expense on the previously disclosed cannabis-related OREO property in the fourth quarter of 2025 and salaries and employee benefits increasing $3.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

The results of operations comparison of 2024 compared to 2023 can be found in the Company’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2024 under Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”- Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 on pages 29 and 30.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The overall objective of our liquidity management practices is to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to meet financial commitments and to take advantage of lending and investment opportunities. The Company manages liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings and other obligations as they mature, and to fund loan and investment portfolio opportunities as they arise.

The Company’s primary sources of funds to satisfy its objectives are net growth in deposits (primarily retail), principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, proceeds from the sale of originated loans and FHLB and other borrowings. The scheduled amortization of loans is a predictable source of funds. Deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including unsecured overnight lines of credit and other collateralized borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window, the FHLB and other correspondent banks. Our Asset / Liability Management Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no overnight borrowings outstanding with the FHLB, respectively. The Company utilizes overnight borrowings from time to time to fund short-term liquidity needs. The Company had total outstanding borrowings of $278.2 million at December 31, 2025 as compared to $498.3 million at December 31, 2024.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had the ability to obtain additional funding from the FHLB of $382.4 million and $198.7 million from the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window, utilizing unencumbered loan collateral. The Company expects to have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments in the normal course of business through typical sources of liquidity. Time deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $954.1 million at December 31, 2025. Based upon historical experience data, management estimates that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Company.
