Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: BWB) (the Company), the parent company of Bridgewater Bank (the Bank), today announced net income of $9.8 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2023, and $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2022. Earnings per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2023 were $0.31, compared to $0.37 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2023, and $0.41 per diluted common share for the same period in 2022.

“Bridgewater’s second quarter results were highlighted by several improving financial trends as we continue to manage the business through a challenging banking environment,” said Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jerry Baack. “The overall composition of our balance sheet improved with a strong inflow of deposits, including growth in core deposits, and a reduction in overall borrowings. While our net interest margin remained under pressure, we saw the pace of compression slow noticeably on a month-to-month basis during the quarter. In addition, noninterest expense was again well controlled and asset quality remained superb.”

“During the quarter, our teams maintained their focus on supporting and growing our client base, both by proactively engaging with our existing clients and cultivating new relationships across the Twin Cities market. In July, we also relocated our downtown Minneapolis branch to an enhanced location with more space to better serve our clients. We believe our proven ability to develop strong client relationships, combined with encouraging financial trends, will continue to drive success moving forward.”
