Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending June 30, 2025 (Form 10-Q)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of our financial condition at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about our financial condition and results of operations which is not otherwise apparent from our consolidated financial statements and is intended to provide insight into our results of operations and financial condition. The following discussion and analysis should be read along with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I - Item 1 of this Report, "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and the risk factors discussed in our 2024 10-K and the other reports we have filed with the SEC after we filed the 2024 10-K.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our," "us" refer to United on a consolidated basis.
Overview
We offer a wide array of commercial and consumer banking services and investment advisory solutions through a network of 200 banking offices in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida and Alabama. Our equipment finance and SBA/USDA lending businesses operate throughout the United States. At June 30, 2025, we had consolidated total assets of $28.1 billion and 3,050 full-time equivalent employees.
Recent Developments
On May 1, 2025, we completed the acquisition of ANB, which was headquartered in Oakland Park, Florida where it operated one banking location. We acquired $447 million of assets, including goodwill, and assumed $381 million of liabilities in the acquisition, which included $301 million in loans and $374 million in deposits. Our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 include ANB's operating results for the period subsequent to the acquisition date.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. Of note, the 21% corporate tax rate provided by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2025, was made permanent with the passing of this law.
Results of Operations
We reported net income and diluted earnings per common share of $78.7 million and $0.63, respectively, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $66.6 million and $0.54, respectively, for the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported net income of $150 million and $129 million, respectively, and diluted earnings per common share of $1.21 and $1.05, respectively.
Net interest revenue for the second quarter and first half of 2025 was $226 million and $438 million, respectively, compared to $209 million and $408 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2024. The increase in net interest revenue was mostly driven by lower deposit interest expense.
Net interest margin for the second quarter and first half of 2025 increased to 3.50% and 3.43%, respectively, from 3.37% and 3.28%, respectively, for the comparative 2024 periods. The increases in net interest margin were primarily due to the larger decrease in interest rates paid on deposits compared to the decrease in interest rates earned on loans.
We recorded a provision for credit losses of $11.8 million and $27.2 million for the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, which included $2.49 million for the initial ACL for ANB non-PCD loans and unfunded commitments. Provision expense for the comparative periods of 2024 was $12.2 million and $25.1 million.
Noninterest income of $34.7 million and $70.4 million for the second quarter and first half of 2025 decreased by $1.85 million and $5.78 million, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2024. The decrease was mostly driven by negative fair value adjustments to our mortgage servicing asset and a decrease in wealth management fees. The decrease in wealth management fees is reflective of the decrease in assets under management following the sale of FinTrust in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Noninterest expense of $148 million and $289 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 were relatively consistent with the expense reported for the comparative periods of 2024. The three and six months of 2025 included ANB merger-related expense and higher communications and equipment expense, while the comparative periods of 2024 included a $5.10 million goodwill write-down related to the sale of FinTrust.
Results for the second quarter and first six months of 2025 are discussed in further detail throughout the following sections of MD&A.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Our accounting and reporting estimates are in accordance with GAAP and conform to customary practices within the banking industry. Estimates that are susceptible to significant changes include accounting for the ACL and fair value measurements, both of which require significant judgments by management. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Also, different assumptions in the application of these accounting estimates could result in material changes in our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Our critical accounting estimates are discussed in MD&A in our 2024 10-K.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation and Explanation
This Report contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial information includes the following measures: "tangible book value per common share," and "tangible common equity to tangible assets." In addition, management presents non-GAAP operating performance measures, which exclude merger-related and other items that are not part of our ongoing business operations. Operating performance measures include "noninterest income - operating," "noninterest expense - operating," "net income - operating," "diluted income per common share - operating," "tangible book value per common share," "return on common equity - operating," "return on tangible common equity - operating," "return on assets - operating," "efficiency ratio - operating" and "tangible common equity to tangible assets" We have developed internal policies and procedures to accurately capture and account for merger-related and other charges and those charges are reviewed with the Audit Committee of our Board each quarter. We use these non-GAAP measures because we believe they provide useful supplemental information for evaluating our operations and performance over periods of time, as well as in managing and evaluating our business and in discussions about our operations and performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures may also provide users of our financial information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial results and credit trends, as well as a comparison to financial results for prior periods. Nevertheless, non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, measures determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because non-GAAP measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare our non-GAAP measures to similarly titled measures used by other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP are included in Table 1 of MD&A.

Net Interest Revenue
For the quarter:
FTE net interest revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $227 million, an increase of $16.8 million from the same period in 2024. Net interest-rate spread and net interest margin were 2.62% and 3.50%, respectively, which were up 30 basis points and 13 basis points, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2024. The interest rate changes during the past year included cuts of 100 basis points in the federal funds rate, which drove decreases in funding costs, and to a lesser extent, loan yields.
For the six months ended:
FTE net interest revenue for the first six months of 2025 and 2024 was $440 million and $410 million, respectively. During the first six months of 2025, our net interest spread increased 31 basis points and our net interest margin increased by 15 basis points compared to the same period of 2024. Changes in net interest revenue and related metrics for the six months ended 2025 were a result of the same factors affecting the quarter.

The decrease in mortgage loan gains and related fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024 was primarily a result of negative fair value adjustments to our mortgage servicing asset which were less favorable by $1.40 million and $2.98 million, respectively, compared to the fair value adjustments for the comparable periods of 2024. This decrease was partially offset by higher gains on mortgage sales and rate lock volume. The following table provides additional mortgage metrics for the periods indicated.

Total $ 285,030 $ 214,851 33 $ 472,262 $ 385,836 22
The decrease in wealth management fees reflects the decrease in assets under management and advisement as a result of the FinTrust sale in the fourth quarter of 2024. Assets under management and advisement totaled $3.29 billion and $5.30 billion at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Customer derivative fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were up due to stronger loan growth and increased product demand, attributable to the lower rates compared to the same periods of 2024.
The decrease in other investment income was primarily driven by weaker market conditions for the 2025 reporting periods, particularly related to our mutual fund and fintech investments.
The increase in other noninterest income was largely driven by a positive change in collateral charges related to derivative positions.
Provision for Credit Losses
We recorded a provision for credit losses of $11.8 million and $27.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $12.2 million and $25.1 million for the same periods of 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the provision for credit losses included the initial provision for ANB's non-PCD loans and unfunded commitments of $2.49 million. Additional discussion on credit quality and the ACL is included in the "Asset Quality and Risk Elements" section of MD&A in this Report.

Communications and equipment expense for the second quarter and first half of 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024 increased primarily due to new software contracts and incremental software contract costs on existing contracts, including volume based increases.
The increase in outside services - electronic banking reflects both volume-based cost increases and enhancements to our digital banking solutions.
FDIC assessments and other regulatory charges decreased for the first six months of 2025 as the comparative period of 2024 included $1.74 million of FDIC special assessment accrued expense.
The decrease in amortization of intangibles was primarily driven by the natural decline in amortization expense of our core deposit intangibles over time. This decrease was partially offset by ANB core deposit intangible amortization expense starting in May 2025.
The increase in merger-related and other charges for the second quarter and first half of 2025 was primarily driven by ANB merger-related costs.
Other noninterest expense for the three and six months ended 2025 was down compared to the same periods of last year as 2024 included a goodwill write-down of $5.10 million related to the sale of FinTrust.

Asset Quality and Risk Elements
We manage asset quality and control credit risk through review and oversight of the loan portfolio as well as adherence to policies designed to promote sound underwriting and loan monitoring practices. Our credit risk management function is responsible for monitoring asset quality and Board approved portfolio concentration limits, establishing credit policies and procedures and enforcing the consistent application of these policies and procedures.
The ACL reflects our assessment of the life of loan expected credit losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded loan commitments. This assessment involves uncertainty and judgment and is subject to change in future periods. See the Critical Accounting Estimatessection of MD&A in our 2024 10-K for additional information on the ACL.
The ACL for loans at June 30, 2025 totaled $217 million compared to $207 million at December 31, 2024. The ACL for loans as a percentage of total loans remained flat at 1.14%. The increase in the ACL was primarily attributable to loan growth and the initial allowance established for ANB, partially offset by a reduction in the Hurricane Helene related allowance based on our latest assessment of potential storm related-loan losses. The initial ACL for ANB loans totaled $3.65 million, $1.25 million of which was reclassified from the fair value of PCD loans with no impact to earnings. The Hurricane Helene related reserve totaled $4.42 million and $9.80 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our ACL for unfunded commitments, which totaled $11.5 million, increased $1.15 million compared to December 31, 2024 mostly due to an increase in our construction commitments.

We completed the sale of substantially all of our manufactured housing loan portfolio in the third quarter of 2024. For the second quarter and first six months of 2025, the average balance and net charge-offs related to the remaining manufactured housing loans are reflected in consumer loans. Equipment finance charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased compared to the same period in 2024 due to lower long-haul trucking related losses.
Nonperforming Assets
The table below summarizes NPAs for the periods indicated. NPAs include nonaccrual loans, OREO and repossessed assets. The decrease in NPAs since December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by $49.6 million in payoffs and paydowns of nonaccrual loans. Notably, we had two payoffs of senior care loans (included in income producing CRE) totaling $14.6 million and significant paydowns and payoffs for three larger relationships totaling $17.8 million included in commercial and industrial and owner occupied CRE loans.

Investment Securities
The composition of the investment securities portfolio reflects our investment strategy of maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity while providing a relatively stable source of revenue. The investment securities portfolio also provides a balance to interest rate risk and credit risk in other categories of the balance sheet while providing a vehicle for the investment of available funds, furnishing liquidity, and supplying securities to pledge as required collateral for certain deposits and borrowings. The table below summarizes the carrying value of our securities portfolio and other relevant portfolio metrics including weighted-average life and effective duration as of the dates presented. Effective duration represents the expected change in the price of a security when rates change by 100 basis points.

We utilize fair value hedges on a portion of our AFS securities portfolio in order to mitigate the impact of potential future unrealized losses on our tangible common equity. Gains and losses related to the hedge and hedged item are reflected in investment securities interest income. The changes in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item substantially offset each other. See Note 6 to the financial statements for further detail.
At June 30, 2025, HTM debt securities had a fair value of $1.94 billion, indicating net unrealized losses of $371 million (pre-tax). Additional unrealized losses on HTM debt securities of $55.5 million (pre-tax) were included in AOCI as a result of the transfer of AFS debt securities to HTM in 2022. Unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates.
See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for additional detail.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, goodwill and other intangibles totaled $974 million and $957 million, respectively. In connection with the acquisition of ANB in the second quarter of 2025, we recorded goodwill and a core deposit intangible of $18.0 million and $6.29 million, respectively. See Notes 3 and 7 to the financial statements for further information.
Deposits
Customer deposits are the primary source of funds for the continued growth of our earning assets. We believe our high level of service, as evidenced by our strong customer satisfaction scores, is instrumental in attracting and retaining customer deposit accounts, which has continued to contribute to our organic deposit growth. Since December 31, 2024, customer deposits increased $514 million, which includes deposits of $374 million acquired in the ANB transaction as of the acquisition date. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $9.64 billion of uninsured deposits, of which $2.81 billion was collateralized by investment securities.

Borrowing Activities
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had long-term debt outstanding of $155 million and $254 million, respectively, which includes senior debentures, subordinated debentures, and trust preferred securities. During the second quarter of 2025, we redeemed our $100 million 2030 senior debentures. At June 30, 2025 there were no short-term borrowings outstanding. At December 31, 2024, there were $195 million in short-term borrowings outstanding. The need to utilize wholesale funding sources has decreased because our liquidity needs have been met by our deposit and cash balances.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have not been any material changes to our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements since December 31, 2024.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Management
Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of the portfolio of assets and liabilities. Repricing characteristics are the time frames within which the interest rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are subject to change either at replacement, repricing or maturity.
Management uses an asset/liability simulation model to measure the potential change in net interest revenue over time using multiple interest rate scenarios. Our modeling is based on the 12-month impact on net interest revenue simulations with various interest rate shocks and ramps, which are compared to a base scenario that assumes rates remain unchanged. In the shock scenarios, rates immediately change the full amount at the scenario onset. In the ramp scenarios, rates change by 25 basis points per month until they reach the predetermined levels.
The following table presents our interest sensitivity position at the dates indicated. The scenario results presented assume parallel movements in the yield curve, which may differ from actual future curve behavior. Other than an assumption for the runoff of estimated surge deposits, which is assumed to be replaced with higher cost wholesale funding, this presentation generally assumes no change in deposit portfolio size or composition.

Increase (Decrease) in Net Interest Revenue from Base Scenario at
June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Change in Rates Shock Ramp Shock Ramp
200 basis point increase 3.59 % 1.62 % 2.01 % 0.92 %
100 basis point increase 1.97 1.18 1.19 0.66
100 basis point decrease (3.02) (1.94) (2.27) (1.46)
200 basis point decrease (7.22) (3.08) (6.00) (2.38)
The change in results from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 reflects more floating interest rate loans and a slight shortening of asset duration to address rising interest rate risk concerns. In addition, the balance sheet became slightly more asset sensitive at June 30, 2025 due to higher cash balances on hand at quarter-end.
Liquidity Management
The Bank's main source of liquidity is customer interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts. Liquidity is also available from wholesale funding sources consisting primarily of repurchase agreements, Federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and brokered deposits. These sources of liquidity are generally short-term in nature and are used as necessary to fund asset growth and meet other short-term liquidity needs. As part of our liquidity management, we focus on maximizing the amount of securities and loans available as collateral for contingent liquidity sources and calibrating our assumptions in our liquidity stress test on an ongoing basis, particularly as it relates to deposit duration. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had sufficient liquid funds and qualifying collateral to support additional borrowings, which are detailed in the table below.

In addition, because the Holding Company is a separate entity and apart from the Bank, it must provide for its own liquidity. The Holding Company is responsible for the payment of dividends declared for its common and preferred shareholders, and interest and principal on any outstanding debt or trust preferred securities. The Holding Company currently has sufficient liquid assets to meet these obligations. Holding Company liquidity is maintained at a level of at least 125% of the next 12 months of forecasted cash obligations.
In the opinion of management, our liquidity position at June 30, 2025 was sufficient to meet our expected cash flow requirements for the foreseeable future. See the consolidated statement of cash flows for further detail.
Capital Resources and Dividends
Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2025 was $3.61 billion, an increase of $181 million from December 31, 2024 primarily due to year-to-date earnings, other comprehensive income and the issuance of stock for the ANB acquisition, partially offset by dividends declared on common and preferred stock.
The following table shows capital ratios, as calculated under applicable regulatory guidelines, at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, capital levels remained characterized as "well-capitalized" under regulatory requirements in effect at the time. Additional information related to capital ratios is provided in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
A bank's asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an industrial firm in that primarily all assets and liabilities of a bank are monetary in nature with relatively little investment in fixed assets or inventories. Management believes the effect of inflation on financial results depends on our ability to react to changes in interest rates, and by such reaction, reduce the inflationary effect on performance. We have an asset/liability management program to manage interest rate sensitivity. In addition, periodic reviews of banking services and products are conducted to adjust pricing in view of current and expected costs.
