Union Bank Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

by Union Bank / Thursday, 28 April 2022 / Published in Blog Roll, Press Releases

Greenville, NC – (Business Wire) – April 26, 2022 – UB Bancorp (OTCQX: UBNC), (the “Company”) the parent of Union Bank (the “Bank”), is pleased to report its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Highlights for the quarter include:

  • Solid net income of $2.6 million or 44 cents per basic common share for the quarter
  • Pre-tax net loan fee revenue from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was $402k for the first quarter of 2022
  • Pre-tax, pre-provision income (*), excluding PPP net revenue, was $2.9 million for the first three months of 2022 vs. $2.7
    million for the same three month period one year ago
  • Total assets of $1.17 billion as of quarter end, an increase of $12.1 million from year end 2021 and $113.7 million from
    March 31, 2021
  • Core loans (excluding PPP loans) grew $22.8 million or 3.6% during the first quarter of 2022
  • Total deposit growth of $38.6 million or 3.8% during the quarter and year-over-year deposit growth of $175.5 million or
    20.2%, with non-interest-bearing deposits accounting for $77.1 million of the year-over-year growth
  • Sound credit quality metrics with nonperforming assets representing only 0.04% of total assets at quarter end
  • As of March 31, 2022, none of our customers have a COVID-19 related payment deferral
  • Capital at the Bank is well above regulatory thresholds to be considered ‘Well Capitalized’
  • Strong liquidity levels
  • 5,981,446 common shares outstanding with tangible book value per share of $12.68 (*) as of March 31, 2022
  • Year-to-date annualized return on average tangible equity of 12.93% (*)
  • In April of 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.11 per common share, which represents
    a 4.8% annualized increase

Rob Jones, President and CEO, commented “We are pleased to report our solid results for the first quarter of 2022. Despite
recognizing $685,000 less net PPP revenue during the first quarter of this year versus the first quarter of 2021, our ‘core earnings’ (*) (pre-tax, pre-provision income, excluding net PPP revenue), for the first quarter of 2022 exceeded that of the first quarter of 2021 by $245,000 or 9.2%. In addition, loan growth for the quarter was robust.”

Mr. Jones also noted, “This current environment of elevated inflation and the anticipation of higher interest rates going forward is historically positive for the banking industry. As a result, we anticipate an improved net interest margin in future periods. At the same time, we understand that this increased inflationary environment may be challenging for all businesses as well as for the
economy over the long-term. As such, we remain focused on credit underwriting criteria that can withstand future price
adjustments.”

Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $2.64 million, or $0.44 per basic common share, versus $2.98 million, or $0.50 per
basic common share, earned for the same three-month period of 2021. The Company’s return on average assets and average tangible equity (*) for the first quarter of 2022 was 0.93% and 12.93%, respectively. Revenues were positively impacted by strong
growth in our earning asset base coupled with reduced funding costs and recognition of PPP fees. Average earning assets for first
quarter of 2022 were $1.1 billion, an increase of $148.5 million from the same three-month period one year ago. The Company’s cost of funds fell 10 basis points to 0.27% for the first quarter of 2022 versus 0.37% for the same quarter one year ago. This
reduction in funding costs helped offset a 67 basis point decline in earning asset yields between these same time periods. Despite a year-over-year reduction, net PPP revenue recognized during the period has also helped offset margin compression during this low rate environment. Net pre-tax revenue from PPP fees totaled $402,000 during the current quarter of 2022 versus $1.1 million
generated during the first quarter of 2021. While we will continue to have some residual benefits from PPP fee revenue in coming
periods, the level will be well below that recognized in the recent periods as there are very few of these loans that remain on our
books that have yet to receive forgiveness. In addition, given the Company’s level of allowance for loan losses, coupled with its
sound credit metrics, there was no provision expense booked in the first quarter of either 2022 or 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had total assets of $1.2 billion, an increase of $113.7 million or 10.8% from the end of the first
quarter of 2021. Over this same period gross loans have grown $18.9 million or 2.9%, ending the period at $669.3 million. This
loan growth includes the impact of $50.0 million of PPP loans that have paid off with forgiveness during this same 12-month period. Excluding the impact of PPP forgiveness, the Company’s core loans increased $69.6 million or 11.7% on a year-over-year basis. As of the end of the first quarter of 2022 the Bank had $3.4 million of PPP loans remaining on its books. This strong loan demand was funded with growth in our core deposit base. Total deposits on March 31, 2022, were $1.0 billion compared to $867.1 million on March 31, 2021, an increase of $175.5 million or 20.2%. During this same period noninterest bearing deposits increased $77.1 million or 22.9% to $413.2 million. The deposit growth rates experienced by the banking industry since the beginning of the pandemic, including Union Bank, has been highly unusual. Given the all the changes taking place in the economy, we cannot predict how deposit customers will behave in the coming periods. However, we do not anticipate this deposit expansion to continue and expect that at some point in the future, we, as well as our industry as a whole, could experience lower deposit levels as customers find alternative investment options for their excess funds.

Capital levels at our Bank continue to be strong with total risk-based capital of 15.73%, common equity tier 1 to risk-weighted
assets 13.87% and the tier 1 leverage ratio at 8.96% as of March 31, 2022. These regulatory capital ratios exclude the impact of net
unrealized gains and losses within our investment portfolio. During the first quarter of 2022 bond yields increased sharply, creating significant reductions in investment portfolio values. As a result, despite achieving strong earnings through the first three months of 2022, our tangible book value per share (*) fell from $14.50 at year end 2021 to $12.68 as of March 31, 2022. This reduction is not unique to our Company, as it is impacting our industry overall. However, given the sound quality of our investment portfolio, the Company expects to recover these unrealized losses over time either as bond yields reverse course or as these investments approach their maturities.

On April 20, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.11 per share to be paid on June 30, 2022, to
shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2022.
