United Bankshares, Inc. Announces Earnings

for the First Quarter of 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. and CHARLESTON, WV-- United Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBSI) (“United”), today reported earnings for the first quarter of 2025 of $84.3 million, or $0.59 per diluted share. The first quarter of 2025 was highlighted by record net interest income, net interest margin expansion, resumption of share repurchases, and the consummation of the previously announced acquisition of Atlanta-based Piedmont Bancorp, Inc. (“Piedmont”) including completion of the systems conversion. As a result of the acquisition, the first quarter of 2025 was impacted by increased levels of average balances, income, and expense, including $30.0 million, or approximately $0.17 per diluted share, in merger-related noninterest expenses and merger-related provision for credit losses. First quarter of 2025 results produced annualized returns on average assets, average equity, and average tangible equity, a non-GAAP measure, of 1.06%, 6.47%, and 10.61%, respectively.

“This quarter we officially welcomed Piedmont to the United family and we are very excited about entering the Atlanta market,” stated Richard M. Adams, Jr., United’s Chief Executive Officer. “Closing a deal always brings a lot of noise to the quarter, but that shouldn’t overshadow the excellent results we posted when adjusting for the acquisition. UBSI continues to perform at a high level and have success in these challenging and uncertain times.”

Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $94.4 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, and annualized returns on average assets, average equity, and average tangible equity for the fourth quarter of 2024 were 1.25%, 7.48%, and 12.03%, respectively. Earnings for the first quarter of 2024 were $86.8 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, and annualized returns on average assets, average equity, and average tangible equity were 1.19%, 7.25%, and 11.98%, respectively.

First quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024

Earnings for the first quarter of 2025 were $84.3 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, as compared to earnings of $94.4 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 was a record $260.1 million, an increase of $27.5 million, or 12%, from the fourth quarter of 2024. Tax-equivalent net interest income, a non-GAAP measure which adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments, for the first quarter of 2025 increased $27.4 million, or 12%, from the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets largely from the Piedmont acquisition and a lower average rate paid on deposits partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits, also largely from the Piedmont acquisition. Average earning assets increased $1.9 billion, or 7%, from the fourth quarter of 2024 driven by increases in average net loans and loans held for sale of $1.7 billion and average short-term investments of $324.0 million. These increases within average earning assets were partially offset by a decrease in average investment securities of $192.3 million mainly due to sales late in the fourth quarter of 2024. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits decreased 17 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2024 driven by deposit rate repricing. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $1.5 billion, or 8%, from the fourth quarter of 2024. Interest income and tax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 included $6.0 million of acquired loan accretion income as compared to $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The net interest margin of 3.69% for the first quarter of 2025 was an increase of 20 basis points from the net interest margin of 3.49% for the fourth quarter of 2024.

The provision for credit losses was $29.1 million for the first quarter of 2025, which included $18.7 million of provision recorded on purchased non-credit deteriorated (“non-PCD”) loans from Piedmont. The provision for credit losses was $6.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Noninterest income of $29.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 was flat from the fourth quarter of 2024, increasing $236 thousand, or less than 1%. Net gains on investment securities were $521 thousand for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to net losses on investment securities of $688 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2024. Fees from brokerage services increased $667 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2024. Partially offsetting these increases in noninterest income was a decrease in other noninterest income of $1.3 million.

Noninterest expense was $153.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, which included $11.3 million in merger-related expenses while noninterest expense was $134.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, which included $1.3 million in merger-related expenses. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to increases in other noninterest expense of $6.7 million, the expense for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $4.7 million, employee compensation of $2.5 million and smaller increases in several other categories of noninterest expense mainly from the acquisition. The increase in other noninterest expense was driven by $6.0 million in merger-related expenses for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, as well as higher amounts of certain general operating expenses. During the first quarter of 2025, United recorded $4.1 million in merger-related expense for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments related to the Piedmont acquisition. The increase in employee compensation was driven by $1.2 million in merger-related expenses and higher employee headcount for the first quarter of 2025 from the acquisition.

Income tax expense was $22.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $26.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. This decrease in income tax expense was due to lower earnings and a lower effective tax rate driven by the impact of provision to return adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2024. United’s effective tax rate was 21.2% and 22.0% for the first quarter of 2025 and fourth quarter of 2024, respectively.

First quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024

Earnings for the first quarter of 2025 were $84.3 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, as compared to earnings of $86.8 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 increased $37.6 million, or 17%, from the first quarter of 2024. Tax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 increased $37.5 million, or 17%, from the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets, a lower average rate paid on deposits, and a decrease in average long-term borrowings partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits and a lower yield on average short-term investments. Average earning assets increased $2.5 billion, or 10%, from the first quarter of 2024 driven by increases in average net loans and loans held for sale of $1.9 billion and average short-term investments of $1.2 billion partially offset by a decrease in average investment securities of $709.6 million. The increase in average net loans and loans held for sale was largely driven by the Piedmont acquisition. The decrease in average investment securities was driven by sales during 2024. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits decreased 25 basis points from the first quarter of 2024. Average long-term borrowings decreased $945.6 million from the first quarter of 2024. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $2.7 billion from the first quarter of 2024. The yield on average short-term investments decreased 110 basis points from the first quarter of 2024. Interest income and tax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 included $6.0 million of acquired loan accretion income as compared to $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. The net interest margin of 3.69% for the first quarter of 2025 was an increase of 25 basis points from the net interest margin of 3.44% for the first quarter of 2024.

The provision for credit losses was $29.1 million for the first quarter of 2025, which included $18.7 million of provision recorded on non-PCD loans from Piedmont. The provision for credit losses was $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2024.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2025 was $29.6 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 8%, from the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to a decrease in income from mortgage banking activities of $2.8 million. The decrease in income from mortgage banking activities was mainly due to lower mortgage loan origination and sale volume.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2025 was $153.6 million, which included $11.3 million in merger-related expenses while noninterest expense was $140.7 million for the first quarter of 2024. Other noninterest expense increased $7.6 million driven by $6.0 million in merger-related expenses recognized during the first quarter of 2025 and higher amounts of certain general operating expenses. The expense for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments increased $3.5 million driven by $4.1 million in expense recognized during the first quarter of 2025 related to the Piedmont acquisition partially offset by a decrease in loan commitments. Increases in several other categories of noninterest expense mainly from the acquisition were partially offset by a decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance expense. FDIC insurance expense for the first quarter of 2024 included $1.8 million in expense for the FDIC’s special assessment.

For the first quarter of 2025, income tax expense was $22.6 million as compared to $21.4 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase of $1.2 million was due to a higher effective tax rate partially offset by lower earnings. United’s effective tax rate was 21.2% and 19.8% for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cautionary Statements

The Company is required under generally accepted accounting principles to evaluate subsequent events through the filing of its March 31, 2025 consolidated financial statements on Form 10-Q. As a result, the Company will continue to evaluate the impact of any subsequent events on critical accounting assumptions and estimates made as of March 31, 2025 and will adjust amounts preliminarily reported, if necessary.

Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Generally, United has presented these “non-GAAP” financial measures because it believes that these measures provide meaningful additional information to assist in the evaluation of United’s results of operations or financial position. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how United’s management evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the banking industry.

Specifically, this press release contains certain references to financial measures identified as tax-equivalent (FTE) net interest income, average tangible equity, return on average tangible equity, and tangible book value per share. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures to be helpful in understanding United’s results of operations or financial position.

Net interest income is presented in this press release on a tax-equivalent basis. The tax-equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. Although this is a non-GAAP measure, United’s management believes this measure is more widely used within the financial services industry and provides better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. United uses this measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage its balance sheet composition. The tax-equivalent adjustment combines amounts of interest income on federally nontaxable loans and investment securities using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.

Tangible equity is calculated as GAAP total shareholders’ equity minus total intangible assets. Tangible equity can thus be considered the most conservative valuation of the company. Tangible equity is also presented on a per common share basis and considering net income, a return on average tangible equity. Management provides these amounts to facilitate the understanding of as well as to assess the quality and composition of United’s capital structure. By removing the effect of intangible assets that result from merger and acquisition activity, the “permanent” items of equity are presented. These measures, along with others, are used by management to analyze capital adequacy and performance.

Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as reconciliation to that comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the attached financial information tables to this press release. Investors should recognize that United’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and United strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety.
