Note 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public entities, such as the Company, to provide enhanced disclosures on the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by type and jurisdiction. Adoption is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. Under ASU No. 2024-03, public business entities, such as the Company, are required to disclose in the notes to their financial statements disaggregated information about certain costs and expenses in both annual and interim filings. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

There were no investment securities HTM at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. At such dates, investment securities AFS with fair value of $95.7 million and $96.0 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral for FHLB borrowings and other credit subject to collateralization, public unit deposits or for other purposes as required or permitted by law. Investment securities AFS pledged as collateral for discount window borrowings at the FRB consisted of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises and Agency MBS with a fair value of $9.7 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities by contractual scheduled maturity as of March 31, 2025 were as follows:


	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Available-for-sale	(Dollars in thousands)
Due in one year or less	$	1,020	$	1,020
Due from one to five years	14,410		13,372
Due from five to ten years	11,403		10,182
Due after ten years	60,243		50,845

Agency mortgage-backed	201,091		172,473
Total debt securities available-for-sale	$	288,167	$	247,892

Actual maturities may differ for certain debt securities that may be called by the issuer prior to the contractual maturity. Actual maturities usually differ from contractual maturities on agency MBS because the mortgages underlying the securities may be prepaid, usually without any penalties. Therefore, these agency MBS are shown separately and are not included in the contractual maturity categories in the above maturity summary.

Information pertaining to all AFS debt securities with gross unrealized losses, for which an ACL has not been recorded, as of the balance sheet dates, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, follows:

AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses at least quarterly. For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, management first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through earnings. For AFS debt securities that do not meet the above criteria, management evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security and the issuer, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, management compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis for the security, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded, limited to the amount that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. For AFS debt securities, any decline in fair value that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes.

No ACL for AFS debt securities was recorded at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $885 thousand and $1.2 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

There were no sales of investment securities AFS for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.

Note 6. Loans

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for any charge-offs, the ACL, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

Loan interest income is accrued daily on outstanding balances. The following accounting policies, related to accrual and nonaccrual loans, apply to all portfolio segments and loan classes, which the Company considers to be the same. The accrual of interest is normally discontinued when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired and/or management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. In general, loans that are 90 days or more past due are placed in nonaccrual, unless there are circumstances that cause management to believe the collection of interest is not doubtful. Generally, any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed against current period interest income. A loan may be restored to accrual status when its financial status has significantly improved and there is no principal or interest past due. A loan may also be restored to accrual status if the borrower makes six consecutive monthly payments or the lump sum equivalent. Income on nonaccrual loans is generally not recognized unless a loan is returned to accrual status or after all principal has been collected. Interest payments received on such loans are generally applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Delinquency status is determined based on contractual terms for all portfolio segments and loan classes. Loans past due 30 days or more are considered delinquent. Loans are considered in process of foreclosure when a judgment of foreclosure has been issued by the court.

Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield using methods that approximate the interest method. The Company generally amortizes these amounts over the estimated average life of the related loans.

The Company evaluates the risk characteristics of its loans based on regulatory call report code with segmentation based on the underlying collateral or purpose for certain loan types.

Qualifying residential first mortgage loans and certain commercial real estate loans with an aggregate carrying value of $401.9 million and $394.5 million were pledged as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB under a blanket lien at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $6.3 million and $5.2 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses described in Note 7.

Note 7. Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures

The level of the ACL on loans represents management's estimate of expected credit losses over the expected life of the loans at the balance sheet date. For all loan segments, loan losses are charged against the ACL on loans when management believes the loan balance is uncollectible or in accordance with federal guidelines. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL on loans.

The ACL on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. The ACL on loans is comprised of reserves measured on a collective (pool) basis based on a lifetime loss-rate model when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis, generally larger non-accruing commercial loans.

The Company uses the DCF method to estimate expected credit losses for all loan pools. For each of the loan segments, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speed, curtailments, time to recovery, and loss rates. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds, curtailment rates, and time to recovery are based on historical benchmark data.

The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime loss rates. This analysis also determines how expected loss rates will react to forecasted levels of the loss drivers. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, management utilizes and forecasts national unemployment as a loss driver.

For all DCF models, management has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over four quarters on a straight-line basis. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period.

The combination of adjustments for credit expectations (default and loss) and timing expectations (prepayment, curtailment, and time to recovery) produces an expected cash flow stream at the instrument level that represents the sum of expected losses to determine the estimated ACL on loans.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 11

The ACL on loans evaluation also considers various qualitative factors, including changes in policy and/or underwriting standards, actual or expected changes in economic trends and conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, changes in credit and lending staff/administration, problem loan trends, credit risk concentrations, loan review results, changes in the value of underlying collateral for loans, and changes in the regulatory and business environment.

Certain loans are individually evaluated for estimated credit losses, including those greater than $500 thousand that are classified as substandard or doubtful and are on nonaccrual or that have other unique characteristics differing from the segment. Specific reserves are established when appropriate for such loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows of the loan or the estimated realizable value of the collateral, if any.

Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

•Residential real estate - Loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied 1-4 family residential real estate, second and vacation homes, 1-4 family investment properties, home equity and second mortgage loans. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

•Construction real estate - Loans in this segment include residential and commercial construction properties, commercial real estate development loans (while in the construction phase of the projects), land and land development loans. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower and/or the underlying cash flows generated by the properties being constructed. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates, housing prices, vacancy rates and material costs, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

•Commercial real estate - Loans in this segment are primarily properties occupied by businesses or income-producing properties. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties may be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by a general slowdown in business or increased vacancy rates which, in turn, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment. Management requests business financial statements at least annually and monitors the cash flows of these loans.

•Commercial - Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by non-real estate assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer or business spending, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

•Consumer - Loans in this segment are made to individuals for personal expenditures, such as automobile purchases, and include unsecured loans. Repayment is primarily dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

•Municipal - Loans in this segment are made to municipalities located within the Company's service area. Repayment is primarily dependent on taxes or other funds collected by the municipalities. Management considers there to be minimal risk surrounding the credit quality of this segment.

Risk and collateral ratings are assigned to loans and are subject to ongoing monitoring by lending and credit personnel, with such ratings updated annually or more frequently if warranted. The following is an overview of the Company's loan rating system:

1-3 Rating - Pass

Risk-rating grades "1" through "3" comprise those loans ranging from those with lower than average credit risk, defined as borrowers with high liquidity, excellent financial condition, strong management, favorable industry trends or loans secured by highly liquid assets, through those with marginal credit risk, defined as borrowers that, while creditworthy, exhibit some characteristics requiring special attention by the account officer.

4-4.5 Rating - Satisfactory/Monitor

Borrowers exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends warranting management's attention. While potentially weak, these borrowers are currently marginally acceptable; no loss of principal or interest is envisioned. When warranted, these credits may be monitored on the watch list.

5-7 Rating - Substandard

Borrowers exhibit well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. The loan may be inadequately protected by the net worth and paying capacity of the obligor and/or the underlying collateral is inadequate.

There were no loans in process of foreclosure at March 31, 2025 and one residential real estate loan totaling $8 thousand in process of foreclosure at December 31, 2024. Aggregate interest on nonaccrual loans not recognized was $416 thousand as of March 31, 2025 and $235 thousand as of December 31, 2024.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans that are individually evaluated and collateral dependent represent loans that the Company has determined foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the loan to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral. For these loans, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the loan at the measurement date.

The following table presents collateral dependent loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by loan class and collateral type as of the balance sheet dates:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024

	(Dollars in thousands)

Commercial construction real estate	$	12,160		$	—
Non-residential commercial real estate	4,187			4,246
Commercial	541			500


Total	$	16,888		$	4,746

Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially by the underlying collateral and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment.

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by providing interest rate reductions, term extensions, payment deferrals or principal forgiveness. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged off against the ACL on loans. There were no loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.

The following table presents the performance of loans as of March 31, 2025 that have been modified in the last twelve months:


March 31, 2025	Current		Past Due 30-89 Days		Past Due 90 Days and Over
	(Dollars in thousands)

Commercial	44		—		—

There were no loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified within the previous twelve months that had subsequently defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Loans are considered defaulted at 90 days past due.

At March 31, 2025, the Company was not committed to lend any additional funds to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for which the Company modified the terms of the loans in the form of principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, or a term extension.

Note 8. Stock Based Compensation

Under the Union Bankshares, Inc. 2024 Equity Plan, a total of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for equity awards of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock and RSUs to eligible officers and (except for awards of incentive stock options) nonemployee directors. Shares available for issuance of awards under the 2024 Equity Plan consist of unissued shares of the Company’s common stock and/or shares held in treasury. The 2024 Equity Plan replaces, and is substantially similar to, the Company’s 2014 Equity Plan.

RSUs. Each outstanding RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock upon satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions. The general terms of the awards are described in the Company's 2024 Annual Report. Prior to vesting, the RSUs do not earn dividends or dividend equivalents, nor do they bear any voting rights.

The following table summarizes the RSUs awarded to Company executives in 2025 under the 2024 Equity Compensation Plan, and the number of such RSUs remaining unvested as of March 31, 2025:


	Number of RSUs Granted	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Unvested RSUs
2025 Award	18,139	$	32.70	18,139
Total	18,139			18,139

The following table summarizes the RSUs awarded to Company executives in 2023 and 2024 under the 2014 Equity Plan, and the number of such RSUs remaining unvested as of March 31, 2025:


	Number of RSUs Granted	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Unvested RSUs
2023 Award	19,282	$	26.90	2,508
2024 Award	19,910	$	28.87	11,280
Total	39,192			13,788

No new grants will be made under the 2014 Equity Plan.

Unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested RSUs under both plans as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $740 thousand and $680 thousand, respectively, and $393 thousand as of December 31, 2024.

On May 15, 2024, the Company's board of directors, as a component of total director compensation, granted an aggregate of 3,736 RSUs to the Company's non-employee directors under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock upon satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions. The RSUs will vest in May 2025, subject to continued board service through the vesting date, other than in the case of the director's death or disability. Prior to vesting, the RSUs do not earn dividends or dividend equivalents, nor do they bear any voting rights. Unrecognized director compensation expense related to the unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2025 was $16 thousand.

Note 9. Subordinated Notes

In August 2021, the Company completed the private placement of $16.5 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031 (the "Notes") to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The Notes initially bear interest, payable semi-annually, at the rate of 3.25% per annum, until September 1, 2026. From and including September 1, 2026, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal amount due will reset quarterly to the then current three-month secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus 263 basis points. At its option, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, beginning with the interest payment date of September 1, 2026 but not generally prior thereto, and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter. The Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital instruments for the Company under bank holding company regulatory capital guidelines.

The Company used the proceeds primarily to provide additional Tier 1 capital to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Bank, to support its growth and for other general corporate purposes.

The unamortized issuance costs of the Notes were $219 thousand and $227 thousand at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company recorded $8 thousand of issuance costs in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Notes are presented net of unamortized issuance costs in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 10. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accounting principles generally require recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income or loss. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as the after tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on investment securities AFS that have not been recorded through an ACL are not reflected in the consolidated statements of income. The cumulative effect of such items, net of tax effect, is reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets (Accumulated OCI). OCI, along with net income, comprises the Company's total comprehensive income or loss.

As of the balance sheet dates, the components of Accumulated OCI, net of tax, were:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
	(Dollars in thousands)
Net unrealized losses on investment securities AFS	$	(31,434)	$	(33,997)

The following tables disclose the tax effects allocated to each component of OCI for the three months ended March 31:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2025						March 31, 2024
	Before-Tax Amount		Tax Expense		Net-of-Tax Amount		Before-Tax Amount		Tax Benefit		Net-of-Tax Amount
Investment securities AFS:	(Dollars in thousands)
Net unrealized holding gains (losses) arising during the period on investment securities AFS	$	3,294	$	(731)	$	2,563	$	(3,767)	$	828	$	(2,939)







Total other comprehensive income (loss)	$	3,294	$	(731)	$	2,563	$	(3,767)	$	828	$	(2,939)

There were no reclassification adjustments from OCI for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.

Note 11. Fair Value Measurement

The Company utilizes FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, as guidance for accounting for assets and liabilities carried at fair value. This standard defines fair value as the price that would be received, without adjustment for transaction costs, to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is a market based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The guidance in FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

•Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

•Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets that are measured on a recurring basis at estimated fair value:

Investment securities AFS: Certain U.S. Treasury notes have been valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets and therefore have been classified as Level 1. However, the majority of the Company’s AFS securities have been valued utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include market maker bids, quotes and pricing models. Inputs to the pricing models include recent trades, benchmark interest rates, spreads and actual and projected cash flows.

Mutual funds: Mutual funds have been valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets and therefore have been classified as Level 1.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 20

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, segregated by fair value hierarchy level, are summarized below:


	Fair Value Measurements

There were no transfers in or out of Levels 1 and 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024, nor were there any Level 3 assets at any time during these periods. Certain other assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods after initial recognition, such as collateral dependent individually evaluated loans, MSRs and OREO, were not considered material at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The Company has not elected to apply the fair value method to any financial assets or liabilities other than those situations where other accounting pronouncements require fair value measurements.

FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Management’s estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions could dramatically affect the estimated fair values.

Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments may be excluded from disclosure requirements. Thus, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the actual underlying fair value of such instruments of the Company.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

Subsequent events represent events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Financial statements are considered “issued” when they are widely distributed to shareholders and others for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. Events occurring subsequent to March 31, 2025 have been evaluated as to their potential impact to the consolidated financial statements.

On April 16, 2025, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share, payable May 1, 2025, to stockholders of record on April 26, 2025.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The following discussion and analysis focuses on those factors that, in management's view, had a material effect on the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. This discussion is being presented to provide a narrative explanation of the consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and with other financial data appearing elsewhere in this filing and with the Company's 2024 Annual Report. In the opinion of the Company's management, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary to fairly present the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Management is not aware of the occurrence of any events after March 31, 2025 which would materially affect the information presented.

Please refer to Note 1 in the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements at Part I, Item 1 of this Report for definitions of acronyms, abbreviations and capitalized terms used throughout the following discussion and analysis.

CAUTIONARY ADVICE ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company, "we," "us," "our," may from time to time make written or oral statements that are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, estimates of future economic performance or conditions and assumptions relating thereto. The Company may include forward-looking statements in its filings with the SEC, in its reports to stockholders, including this quarterly report, in press releases, other written materials, and in statements made by senior management to analysts, rating agencies, institutional investors, representatives of the media and others.

Forward-looking statements are based on the current assumptions underlying the statements and other information with respect to the beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions of management and the financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business are only expectations of future results. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the Company’s forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in interest rates; competitive pressures from other financial institutions; general economic conditions on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Company operates; downgrades of U.S. government securities; eroding public confidence in the banking system; changes in consumer behavior due to changing political, business and economic conditions, including the impact of inflation, federal tariff and trade policies and legislative or regulatory initiatives; changes in the value of securities and other assets in the Company’s investment portfolio; increases in loan and lease default and charge-off rates; the adequacy of the ACL; decreases in deposit levels that necessitate increases in borrowing to fund loans and investments; operational risks to the Company and our vendors, including, but not limited to, cybersecurity incidents, fraud, natural disasters and future pandemics; changes in regulation, war, terrorism, civil unrest; changes in economic assumptions and adverse economic developments; the risk that goodwill and intangibles recorded in the Company’s financial statements will become impaired; changes in assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements; and the other risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report.

In addition to the uncertainties detailed in the Company's 2024 Annual Report, the banking industry continues to be faced with an inverted yield curve, unrealized securities losses, and higher funding costs.

When evaluating forward-looking statements to make decisions about the Company and our stock, investors and others are cautioned to consider these and other risks and uncertainties, and are reminded not to place undue reliance on such statements. Investors should not consider the foregoing list of factors to be a complete list of risks or uncertainties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them to reflect new or changed information or events, except as may be required by federal securities laws.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Under SEC Regulation G, public companies making disclosures containing financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure. The SEC has exempted from the definition of non-GAAP

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 24

financial measures certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. However, two non-GAAP financial measures commonly used by financial institutions, namely tax-equivalent net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest margin (as presented in the tables in the section labeled Yields Earned and Rates Paid), have not been specifically exempted by the SEC, and may therefore constitute non-GAAP financial measures under Regulation G. We are unable to state with certainty whether the SEC would regard those measures as subject to Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s financial performance and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. However, that information should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company has established various accounting policies which govern the application of GAAP in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management which have a material impact on the reported amount of assets, liabilities, capital, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates on matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, management has identified the accounting policies and judgments most critical to the Company. They include establishing the amount of ACL and valuing our intangible assets. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from estimates and have a material impact on the carrying value of assets, liabilities, or capital, and/or the results of operations of the Company.

Please refer to the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more in-depth discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies. There have been no changes to the Company's critical accounting policies since the filing of that report.

OVERVIEW

The current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment is subject to a number of uncertainties, including geopolitical conflicts, tariffs or changes in trade policies, capital markets volatility, and inflation. These and other factors may contribute to slower or negative economic growth and a challenging business environment for our customers. While we remain confident in the resilience and strength of our business and financial model, the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations. For more information about these risks, please see “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Consolidated net income increased $84 thousand, or 3.5%, to $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net income was due to the combined effects of a $1.26 million increase in net interest income and a decrease of $15 thousand in income tax expense, partially offset by increases of $601 thousand in noninterest expenses and $465 thousand in credit loss expense, and a decrease of $127 thousand in noninterest income.

At March 31, 2025, the Company had total consolidated assets of $1.52 billion, including gross loans and loans held for sale (total loans) of $1.17 billion, deposits of $1.18 billion, borrowed funds of $240.7 million, subordinated notes of $16.3 million and stockholders' equity of $70.1 million.

The Company's total capital increased to $70.1 million at March 31, 2025 from $66.5 million at December 31, 2024. This increase primarily reflects an improvement of $2.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to an increase in the fair market value of the Company's AFS investment securities, net income of $2.5 million for the first three months of 2025, partially offset by regular cash dividends declared of $1.6 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income. The largest component of the Company’s operating income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend income received from earning assets and interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by various factors including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, loan and deposit pricing strategies, funding strategies, the volume and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, and the level of nonperforming assets. Net interest margin is calculated as the net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis as a percentage of average earning assets.

Interest earned on average earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $18.3 million compared to $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.7 million, or 17.1%. The average earning asset base increased $104.4 million between periods and the average yield on average earning assets increased 46 bps to 5.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 4.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The average yield on federal funds sold and overnight deposits decreased 188 bps and its related interest income also decreased by $291 thousand between the three month comparison periods due to a decrease in the average balance maintained in Union's master account at the FRB and a decrease in average rate paid on these balances. Interest income on investment securities increased $189 thousand between comparison periods due to an increase in the average yield of 33 bps despite a decrease in the average balance of the portfolio of $12.2 million. The reduction in volume of the portfolio between periods was primarily related to the previously disclosed balance sheet repositioning transaction in the third quarter of 2024, whereby $38.5 million of lower yielding AFS debt securities were sold and proceeds of $26.0 million were reinvested in higher yielding AFS debt securities. Interest income on loans increased $2.7 million between the three month comparison periods due to an increase in the average volume of loans outstanding of $131.5 million and an increase of 40 bps in the average yield.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 26

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $108.0 million between the three month comparison periods primarily due to an increase in borrowed funds, partially offset by decreases in each of the deposit classes. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased 28 bps to 2.65% for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2.37% for the first quarter of 2024. Interest expense increased $1.4 million, to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $1.2 million, or 100.8%, for the comparison periods due to an increase of $125.9 million in the average volume despite a decrease of 7 bps in the average rate paid. Higher rates paid on customer deposit accounts, despite lower balances, resulted in an increase in interest expense of $171 thousand, or 3.26%, between periods.

The net interest spread increased 18 bps to 2.41% for the first quarter of 2025, from 2.23% for the same period last year, reflecting the net effect of the 46 bps increase in the average yield earned on interest earning assets, which was partially offset by the 28 bps increase in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities between periods. The net interest margin increased 20 bps during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year as a result of the changes discussed above.

Credit Loss Expense (Benefit). Credit loss expense or benefit is made up of credit loss expense on loans and credit loss expense on off-balance sheet credit exposures. Credit loss expense on loans results from net charge-offs, changes to the projected loss drivers, prepayment speeds, curtailments and time to recovery that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast periods and changes in the volume and mix of the loan portfolio. Credit loss expense on off-balance sheet credit exposures results from changes in outstanding commitments and changes in funding rates and assumed loss rates period over period. For further details, see FINANCIAL CONDITION - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements below.

Total noninterest income		$	2,440	$	2,567	$	(127)	(4.9)

The significant changes in noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 are described below:

•Wealth management income: Wealth management income increased as managed fiduciary accounts grew between March 31, 2025 and 2024, as did the value of assets within those accounts.

•Net gains on sales of loans held for sale. Residential mortgage loans totaling $25.8 million were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to sales of $21.7 million during the same period in 2024. The increase of $102 thousand in net gains on sales of loans reflects the higher sales volume and higher premiums obtained on sales in 2025.

•Other income. The Company received $117 thousand in prepayment penalties from the early payoff of loans during the first quarter of 2024 that were not received during the same period of 2025.

•Net (losses) gains on other investments. Participants in the 2020 Amended and Restated Nonqualified Excess Plan elect to defer receipt of current compensation from the Company or its subsidiary and select designated reference investments consisting of investment funds. The performance of those funds, over which the Company has no control, resulted in net losses of $35 thousand and net gains of $95 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The significant changes in noninterest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 are described below:

•Salaries and wages. Salaries and wages increased $358 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to annual salary adjustments for the 2025 fiscal year and to an increase of $60 thousand in the accrual related to the annual incentive plan payments to select officers of Union during the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024.

•Employee benefits. Employee benefit expense increased $92 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to increases of $113 thousand in premium expense for the Company's medical and dental plans, $37 thousand in payroll taxes and $80 thousand in 401k contributions expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $138 thousand in employee benefit expense related to the Company's deferred compensation plans.

•Occupancy expense, net. The increase in occupancy expense is primarily due to increases in utilities and repair and maintenance expenses as a result of the winter conditions experienced during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2024.

•Equipment expense. Equipment expense increased between the three month comparison periods primarily due to an increase in software license and maintenance costs.

•FDIC insurance assessment. The FDIC insurance assessment increased by $96 thousand between the three month comparison periods due to an increase in the assessment rate as well as overall growth in net assets.

•ATM and debit card expense. During the first quarter of 2025, debit card contract incentive credits were received resulting in a decrease in expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2024.

•Electronic banking expenses. The increase in electronic banking expense related to software initiatives that were implemented to the online banking platform in the fourth quarter of 2024.

•Advertising and public relations. The decrease in advertising and public relations costs is primarily related to advertising campaigns and business development activities during the first quarter of 2024 that did not occur in 2025.

•Legal expense. The $21 thousand increase in legal expense between periods primarily relates to an increase in loan collection legal expenses during the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024.

•Training and development. The cost associated with attending conferences and educational events during 2025 decreased $22 thousand compared to events attended in 2024.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 31

•Donations. Charitable donations are made as part of the Company's on-going commitment to enhancing the economic vitality and social welfare of our communities. Donations decreased $125 thousand between comparison periods primarily due to contributions made during the first quarter of 2024 related to a state tax credit program to assist a local affordable housing project and local non-profit rehabilitation projects that did not recur in 2025.

•Amortization of MSRs, net. Income from MSRs is derived from servicing rights acquired through the sale of loans on which servicing is retained. Capitalized servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value and amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future servicing period of the underlying loans. The amortization of MSRs exceeded new capitalized MSRs during both comparison periods, resulting in net expense of $16 thousand and $40 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company has provided for current and deferred federal income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company's net provision for income taxes was $150 thousand and $165 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company's effective federal corporate income tax rate was 4.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 8.8% for the same period in 2024.

Amortization expense related to limited partnership investments is included as a component of income tax expense and amounted to $452 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $412 thousand for the same period in 2024. These investments provide tax benefits, including tax credits. Low income housing and rehabilitation tax credits with respect to limited partnership investments are also included as a component of income tax expense and amounted to $483 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $450 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Stockholders’ equity increased from $66.5 million at December 31, 2024 to $70.1 million at March 31, 2025, reflecting a decrease of $2.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to an increase in the fair market value of the Company's AFS investment securities, net income of $2.5 million for the first three months of 2025, an increase of $146 thousand in additional paid in capital from the vesting of stock based compensation, and an $18 thousand increase due to the issuance of common stock under the DRIP, partially offset by cash dividends declared of $1.6 million. (See Capital Resources on page 39.)

Loans Held for Sale and Loan Portfolio.

The Company originates and sells qualified residential mortgage loans in various secondary market avenues to mitigate long-term interest rate risk and generate fee income, with a majority of sales made to the FHLMC/Freddie Mac, generally with servicing rights retained. At March 31, 2025, the Company serviced a $1.16 billion residential real estate mortgage portfolio, of which $4.1 million was held for sale and approximately $694.8 million of which was serviced for unaffiliated third parties.

The Company sold $25.8 million of qualified residential real estate loans to the secondary market during the first three months of 2025 compared to sales of $21.7 million during the first three months of 2024. Residential mortgage loan origination activity was strong throughout 2025. Despite low housing inventory and higher interest rates, purchase activity in the Company's markets is stable, with continued construction loan activity.

The Company also originates commercial real estate and commercial loans under various SBA, USDA and State sponsored programs which provide a government agency guaranty for a portion of the loan amount. There was $2.1 million guaranteed under these various programs at March 31, 2025 on an aggregate balance of $2.6 million in subject loans.

The Company serviced $36.4 million of commercial and commercial real estate loans for unaffiliated third parties as of March 31, 2025. This included $35.5 million of commercial or commercial real estate loans the Company originated and participated out to other financial institutions. These loans were participated in the ordinary course of business on a nonrecourse basis, for liquidity or credit concentration management purposes.

The Company capitalizes MSRs for all loans sold with servicing retained. The unamortized balance of MSRs on loans sold with servicing retained was $1.7 million at March 31, 2025, with an estimated market value in excess of the carrying value as of such date. Management periodically evaluates and measures the servicing assets for impairment.

Qualifying residential first lien mortgage loans and certain commercial real estate loans with a combined carrying value of $401.9 million were pledged as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB under a blanket lien at March 31, 2025.

Asset Quality. The Company, like all financial institutions, is exposed to certain credit risks, including those related to the value of the collateral that secures its loans and the ability of borrowers to repay their loans. Consistent application of the Company’s conservative loan policies has helped to mitigate this risk and has been prudent for both the Company and its customers. Management closely monitors the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, OREO and OAO for potential problems and reports to the Company’s and Union’s Board at regularly scheduled meetings. Board approved policies set forth portfolio diversification levels to mitigate concentration risk and the Company participates large credits out to other financial institutions to further mitigate that risk.

Repossessed assets, nonaccrual loans, and loans that are 90 days or more past due are considered to be nonperforming assets. The following table details the composition of the Company's nonperforming assets and amounts utilized to calculate certain asset quality ratios monitored by the Company's management as of the balance sheet dates and March 31, 2024:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024		March 31, 2024
	(Dollars in thousands)
Nonaccrual loans	$	14,964	$	1,652	$	1,813
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest	25		241		60



Total nonperforming assets	$	14,989	$	1,893	$	1,873

Total average loans outstanding	$	1,155,014	$	1,077,543	$	1,023,474

The increase in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2025 primarily relates to a commercial construction loan that was placed in nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2025.

The following table shows trends of certain asset quality ratios monitored by the Company's management as of the balance sheet dates and March 31, 2024:

All other loan categories did not have charge-offs or recoveries for any of the periods presented above.

There were no loans in process of foreclosure at March 31, 2025 and one residential real estate loan totaling $8 thousand in process of foreclosure at December 31, 2024. The aggregate interest income not recognized on nonaccrual loans approximated $416 thousand and $235 thousand as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company had loans rated substandard that were on performing status totaling $1.2 million and $768 thousand at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In management's view, substandard loans represent a higher degree of risk of becoming nonperforming loans in the future.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. Some of the Company’s loan customers ultimately do not make all of their contractually scheduled payments, requiring the Company to charge off a portion or all of the remaining principal balance due. The Company maintains an ACL to absorb such losses. The level of the ACL on loans at March 31, 2025 represents

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 34

management's estimate of expected credit losses over the expected life of the loans at the balance sheet date. The Company's policy and methodologies for establishing the ACL on loans, described in the Company's 2024 Annual Report did not change during the first three months of 2025. The Company's ACL on loans was $8.1 million and $7.7 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The following table reflects activity in the ACL on loans for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
	(Dollars in thousands)

The following table (net of loans held for sale) shows the internal breakdown by risk component of the Company's ACL on loans and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans in the respective portfolios at the dates indicated:


	March 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
	Amount		Percent	Amount		Percent

Total	$	8,110	100.0	$	7,680	100.0

Notwithstanding the categories shown in the table above or any specific allocation under the Company's ACL methodology, all funds in the ACL on loans are available to absorb loan losses in the portfolio, regardless of loan category or specific allocation.

Management believes, in its best estimate, that the ACL on loans at March 31, 2025 is appropriate to cover expected credit losses over the expected life of the Company’s loan portfolio as of such date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not sustain losses in future periods which could be greater than the size of the ACL on loans at March 31, 2025. In addition, our banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our ACL. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the ACL based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. A large adjustment to the ACL on loans for losses in future periods could require increased credit loss expense to replenish the ACL on loans, which could negatively affect earnings.

Investment Activities. The Company's investment securities classified as AFS, which are carried at fair value, decreased $2.6 million to $247.9 million, comprising 16.3% of total assets, compared to $250.5 million, or 16.4% of total assets, at December 31, 2024. The decrease between periods is due to returns of principal of $5.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in unrealized losses of $3.3 million.

Net unrealized losses in the Company’s AFS investment securities portfolio were $40.3 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to net unrealized losses of $43.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company’s Accumulated OCI component of stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2025 reflected cumulative net unrealized losses on investment securities of $31.4 million.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 35

There were no securities classified as HTM at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The unrealized losses in the Company's AFS investment securities portfolio are primarily attributable to changes in long term interest rates which are tied to the pricing indexes for the securities. No declines in value were deemed by management to be impairment related to credit losses at March 31, 2025. Deterioration in credit quality and/or imbalances in liquidity that may result from changes in financial market conditions might adversely affect the fair values of the Company’s investment portfolio and the amount of gains or losses ultimately realized on the sale of such securities and may also increase the potential that credit losses may be identified in future periods, resulting in credit loss expense recorded in earnings.

Investment securities AFS with a fair value of $95.7 million and $96.0 million were pledged as collateral for FHLB borrowings and other credit subject to collateralization, public unit deposits or for other purposes as required or permitted by law at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Investment securities AFS pledged as collateral for discount window borrowings at the FRB consisted of U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises and Agency MBS with a fair value of $9.7 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Deposits. The following table shows information concerning the Company's average deposits by account type and weighted average nominal rates at which interest was paid on such deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2025					Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
	Average Amount		Percent of Total Deposits	Average Rate		Average Amount		Percent of Total Deposits	Average Rate
	(Dollars in thousands)
Nontime deposits:
Noninterest bearing deposits	$	223,450	18.8	—		$	227,866	18.8	—
Interest bearing checking accounts	304,632		25.6	1.36	%	312,336		25.8	1.34	%
Money market accounts	259,277		21.8	2.93	%	259,265		21.4	2.54	%
Savings accounts	145,631		12.3	0.04	%	147,126		12.2	0.04	%
Total nontime deposits	932,990		78.5	1.27	%	946,593		78.2	1.14	%



Total time deposits	254,865		21.5	3.98	%	263,665		21.8	3.89	%
Total deposits	$	1,187,855	100.0	1.85	%	$	1,210,258	100.0	1.74	%

During the first three months of 2025, average total deposits decreased by $22.4 million, or 1.9%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The average balance of total nontime deposits decreased $13.6 million between periods primarily due to decreases of $4.4 million in noninterest bearing deposits, $1.5 million in savings accounts, and $7.7 million in interest bearing checking accounts. The decrease in average noninterest bearing deposits is primarily attributable to customers spending down deposit balances, the loss of deposit dollars to competing financial institutions and brokerage firms, and customers shifting monies into time deposits as they continue to seek higher yields. The average balance in total time deposits decreased $8.8 million between periods due to a $48.8 million decrease in average retail brokered deposits, partially offset by an increase of $40.0 million in average customer time deposit accounts as customers took advantage of higher rate paying CDs.

The Company participates in CDARS, which permits it to offer full deposit insurance coverage to its customers by exchanging deposit balances with other CDARS participants. CDARS also provides the Company with an additional source of funding and liquidity through the purchase of deposits. There were no purchased CDARS at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. There were $11.3 million and $13.3 million of time deposits of $250,000 or less on the balance sheet at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which were exchanged with other CDARS participants.

The Company also participates in the ICS program, a service through which it can offer its customers demand or savings deposit products with access to unlimited FDIC insurance, while receiving reciprocal deposits from other FDIC-insured banks. Like the exchange of certificate of deposit accounts through CDARS, exchange of demand or savings deposits through ICS provides a depositor with full deposit insurance coverage of excess balances, thereby helping the Company retain the full amount of the deposit on its balance sheet. As with the CDARS program, in addition to reciprocal deposits, participating banks may also purchase one-way ICS deposits. There were $504 thousand purchased ICS deposits at March 31, 2025 and no purchased ICS deposits at December 31, 2024. There were $202.6 million and $256.5 million in exchanged ICS demand and money market deposits on the balance sheet at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

At March 31, 2025 there were $30.0 million of retail brokered deposits at a weighted average rate of 4.35% issued under a master certificate of deposit program with a deposit broker for a three month and twelve month terms for the purpose of providing a supplemental source of funding and liquidity. There were no retail brokered deposits at December 31, 2024.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 36

Uninsured deposits have been estimated to include deposits with balances greater than the FDIC insurance coverage limit of $250 thousand. This estimate by management is based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting requirements. At March 31, 2025, the Company had total estimated uninsured deposit accounts totaling $462.2 million, or 39.1% of total deposits. Uninsured deposits include $26.2 million of municipal deposits that were collateralized under applicable state regulations by investment securities or letters of credit issued by the FHLB at March 31, 2025, as described below under Borrowings.

The following table provides a maturity distribution of the Company’s time deposits in amounts in excess of the $250 thousand FDIC insurance limit at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
	(Dollars in thousands)
Within 3 months	$	16,011	$	24,544
3 to 6 months	21,206		16,004
6 to 12 months	25,025		20,257
Over 12 months	1,114		918
	$	63,356	$	61,723

Borrowings. Advances from the FHLB are another key source of funds to support earning assets. These funds are also used to manage the Bank's interest rate and liquidity risk exposures. Borrowed funds included FHLB advances of $240.7 million with a weighted average rate of 4.08% at March 31, 2025 and $259.7 million with a weighted average rate of 4.17% at December 31, 2024. Union is required to invest in $100 par value stock of the FHLB in an amount to satisfy unpaid principal balances on qualifying loans, plus an amount to satisfy an activity based requirement. The stock is nonmarketable, and is redeemable by the FHLB at par value. With the decrease in FHLB advances outstanding at March 31, 2025, the investment in FHLB Class B common stock has decreased to $10.8 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $11.2 million at December 31, 2024. Union's investment in FHLB stock is carried at cost in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has the authority, up to its available borrowing capacity with the FHLB, to collateralize public unit deposits with letters of credit issued by the FHLB. FHLB letters of credit in the amount of $42.3 million and $47.3 million were utilized as collateral for these deposits at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company's reimbursement obligations to the FHLB relating to these letters of credit are secured by pledged collateral, which reduces the Company's available borrowing capacity with the FHLB. Total fees paid by the Company in connection with the issuance of these letters of credit were $12 thousand and $11 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In August 2021, the Company completed the private placement of $16.5 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031 to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The Notes initially bear interest, payable semi-annually, at the rate of 3.25% per annum, until September 1, 2026. From and including September 1, 2026, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal amount due will reset quarterly to the then current three-month secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus 263 basis points. The Notes are presented in the consolidated balance sheets net of unamortized issuance costs of $219 thousand and $227 thousand at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements. The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to implement its strategic objectives. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, interest rate caps and floors written on adjustable-rate loans, commitments to participate in or sell loans, commitments to buy or sell securities, certificates of deposit or other investment instruments and risk-sharing commitments or guarantees on certain sold loans. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The contractual or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in a particular class of financial instruments.

The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. For interest rate caps and floors written on adjustable-rate loans, the contractual or notional amounts do not represent the Company’s exposure to credit loss. The Company controls the risk of interest rate cap agreements through credit approvals, borrowing limits, and monitoring procedures. The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 37

The following table details the contractual or notional amount of financial instruments that represented credit risk at the balance sheet dates:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commitments to originate loans	$	31,951	$	47,696
Unused lines of credit	182,167		191,392
Standby and commercial letters of credit	1,544		1,640
Credit card arrangements	123		154
FHLB Mortgage Partnership Finance credit enhancement obligation, net	913		865


Commitment to purchase investment in a real estate limited partnership	2,000		2,000



Total	$	218,698	$	243,747

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Loan commitments generally have a fixed expiration date or other termination clause and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the loan commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and not all credit lines will be utilized, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Lines of credit incur seasonal volume fluctuations due to the nature of some customers' businesses, such as tourism. The decrease in commitments to originate loans at March 31, 2025 from December 31, 2024 is primarily related to a decrease in commercial construction loan commitments of $9.2 million and municipal loan commitments of $6.5 million between periods.

The Company did not hold any derivative or hedging instruments at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

In addition to commitments with credit risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments, in the normal course of business the Company enters into other types of contractual arrangements from time to time that represent off-balance sheet commitments such as contracts for the purchase or lease of property, including real property for its banking premises.

The Company records an ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures through a charge or credit to Credit loss expense (benefit) on the consolidated statements of income to account for the change in the ACL on off-balance sheet exposures between reporting periods. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures totaled $877 thousand and $1.1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and was included in Accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. There was $194 thousand and $308 thousand of credit loss benefit for off-balance sheet credit exposures recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Liquidity. Liquidity is a measurement of the Company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to fund deposit withdrawals, repay borrowings, fund investment and lending activities, purchase and lease commitments, and for other general business purposes. The primary objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds to meet our cash flow needs in the most economical and expedient manner. The Company’s principal sources of funds are deposits; whole-sale funding options including purchased deposits, amortization, prepayment and maturity of loans, investment securities, interest bearing deposits and other short-term investments; sales of securities and loans AFS; earnings; and funds provided from operations. Contractual principal repayments on loans have been a relatively predictable source of funds. Deposit flows and loan and investment prepayments are less predictable and can be significantly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competitors. Managing liquidity risk is essential to maintaining both depositor confidence and earnings stability.

As of March 31, 2025, Union, as a member of FHLB, had access to unused lines of credit up to $42.8 million over and above the $285.3 million in combined outstanding FHLB borrowings and other credit, subject to collateralization and to the purchase of required FHLB Class B common stock and evaluation by the FHLB of the underlying collateral available. This line of credit can be used for either short-term or long-term liquidity or other funding needs.

Union also maintains an IDEAL Way Line of Credit with the FHLB. The total line available was $551 thousand at March 31, 2025. There were no borrowings against this line of credit as of such date. Interest on this line is chargeable at a rate determined by the FHLB and payable monthly. Should Union utilize this line of credit, qualified portions of the loan and investment portfolios would collateralize these borrowings.

In addition to its borrowing arrangements with the FHLB, Union maintains a pre-approved federal funds line of credit totaling $15.0 million with an upstream correspondent bank, a master brokered deposit agreement with a brokerage firm, and one-way buy options with CDARS and ICS. At March 31, 2025, there were $30.0 million in retail brokered deposits issued under a master certificate of deposit program with a broker, $504 thousand in purchased ICS deposits, no purchased CDARS deposits and no outstanding advances on the correspondent line.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 38

Union's investment and residential loan portfolios also provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales of those portfolios. Additional contingent liquidity sources are available with further access to the brokered deposit market and through the discount window at the FRB. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity plan. Management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonable borrower, depositor, and creditor needs in the present economic environment. However, any projections of future cash needs and flows are subject to substantial uncertainty, including factors outside the Company's control.

Capital Resources. Capital management is designed to maintain an optimum level of capital in a cost-effective structure that meets target regulatory ratios, supports management’s internal assessment of economic capital, funds the Company’s business strategies and builds long-term stockholder value. Dividends are generally in line with long-term trends in earnings per share and conservative earnings projections, while sufficient profits are retained to support anticipated business growth, fund strategic investments, maintain required regulatory capital levels and provide continued support for deposits. The Company continues to evaluate growth opportunities both through internal growth or potential acquisitions.

In August 2021, the Company completed the private placement of $16.5 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031 to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The Notes are structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company under regulatory capital guidelines for bank holding companies. Proceeds from the sale of the Notes were utilized primarily to provide additional Tier 1 capital to Union to support its growth and for other general corporate purposes.

Stockholders’ equity increased from $66.5 million at December 31, 2024 to $70.1 million at March 31, 2025, reflecting a decrease of $2.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to an increase in the fair market value of the Company's AFS investment securities, net income of $2.5 million for the first three months of 2025, an increase of $146 thousand in additional paid in capital from the vesting of stock-based compensation, and an $18 thousand increase due to the issuance of common stock under the DRIP. These increases were partially offset by cash dividends declared of $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The components of other comprehensive loss are illustrated in Note 10 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The Company has 7,500,000 shares of $2.00 par value common stock authorized. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had 5,012,084 shares issued, of which 4,538,598 were outstanding and 473,486 were held in treasury.

In December 2024, the Company's Board reauthorized for 2025 and 2026 a limited stock repurchase plan that was initially established in May of 2010. The limited stock repurchase plan allows the repurchase of up to a fixed number of shares of the Company's common stock each calendar quarter in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, as management deems advisable and as market conditions may warrant. The repurchase authorization for a calendar quarter (currently 2,500 shares) expires at the end of that quarter to the extent it has not been exercised, and is not carried forward into future quarters. The quarterly repurchase authorization expires on December 31, 2026, unless reauthorized. The Company had no repurchases under this program during the first three months of 2025.

The Company maintains a DRIP whereby registered stockholders may elect to reinvest cash dividends and make optional cash contributions to purchase additional shares of the Company's common stock. The Company has reserved 200,000 shares of its common stock for issuance and sale under the DRIP. As of March 31, 2025, 13,763 shares of stock had been issued from treasury stock under the DRIP.

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and Union are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and Union's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Union must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and Union's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Under the standard regulatory capital guidelines, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% in order to be "adequately capitalized." In addition to these requirements, banking organizations must maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer consisting of common Tier I equity, increasing the minimum required total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based and common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets they must maintain to avoid limits on capital distributions and certain bonus payments to executive officers and similar employees.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 39

As shown in the table below, as of March 31, 2025, both the Company and Union met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and Union exceeded the requirements for a "well capitalized" bank under the FDIC's Prompt Corrective Action framework. There were no conditions or events between March 31, 2025 and the date of this report that management believes have changed either company’s regulatory capital category.
