BCB Bancorp Inc. has announced a material impairment related to an isolated cannabis-related real estate owned property, resulting in a pre-tax writedown of $15.1 million. This follows a previously disclosed $12.7 million charge-off on the same property after it was transferred to the REO category in the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, the company will record $16.4 million in net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily tied to its commercial and industrial loan portfolio, including a $6.4 million C&I loan and $1.4 million in "Business Express" loans. The company states that its financial position remains strong enough to absorb these losses without affecting operations and will release full fourth-quarter results on January 30, 2026.
