We are happy to report on the earnings performance of United Bancorp, Inc. (UBCP) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. For the quarter, our Company achieved solid net income and diluted earnings per share results of $1,911,000 and $0.33, which were respective increases of $39,000, or 2.1%, and $0.01, or 3.1%, over the results achieved for each metric during the first quarter of last year. We are very pleased that our first quarter results are higher than those achieved for the same period of time in 2025 considering that… as we have previously mentioned… our Company is focused on the future and has undertaken several transformative projects that have created additional expense for UBCP and are somewhat dilutive to earnings at present. In addition, even though there has been a tremendous level of uncertainty permeating our economy in recent years… that level has increased in the most recent quarter with a new realm of uncertainty created by geopolitical concerns that escalated over the course of the first quarter of this year. Regardless, we are satisfied with our increasing earnings and content with how our investment in our infrastructure and growth is developing in accordance with our visions and projections. We firmly believe that over the course of the next twelve to twenty-four months, we will see a very nice return on these investments in our Company’s infrastructure, which should lead to higher levels of earnings and help ensure the relevancy of UBCP for many years to come.

Many thought that the economic uncertainty with which our country has been dealing for the past several years was finally going to be in the rear-view mirror in 2026. Even though inflation had stagnated at a level a little bit higher than the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the Federal Reserve Bank liked, it was getting closer to their established target of two percent. In addition, they were mostly satisfied with current employment-related data within our economy. As we entered 2026, forecasts called for solid economic growth as the impact of the tariffs implemented last year was thought to also be behind us and the anticipated increase in tax refund payouts under our new tax policy were anticipated to fuel consumption and growth, driving our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) higher to levels rarely seen. In addition, forecasts for interest rates projected two to three cuts for the fed funds target rate, which would align our country’s monetary policy with a more neutral position. How quickly things can change! With the United States and Israel commencing military action on Iran in late February, the economic uncertainty that we thought was finally behind us heightened to levels even greater than before. Even with all of this concern and uncertainty, our Company was able to achieve growth in its balance sheet in the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Year-over-year, total assets increased by $27.8 million, or 3.6%, to a level of $858.5 million. This increase in total assets is attributed to year-over-year increases in gross loans by $3.5 million to a level of $500.3 million; securities by $6.0 million to a level of $239.9 million; and, bank owned life insurance by $18.3 million to a level of $38.2 million. Overall, the increase in the level of interest earning assets on our balance sheet helped our Company achieve an increase in the total interest income that it generated by $172,000, or 1.8%, over the level achieved in the first quarter of last year. Driving the increase in our Company’s total assets in the first quarter was the growth that we experienced in our total deposits. For the quarter, total deposits grew by $42.6 million, or 6.8%, to a level of $666.7 million. Much of this increase in our total deposits came from growth in our lower-cost funding--- consisting of noninterest bearing demand, interest bearing demand and savings--- with balances increasing by $27.4 million to a level of $474.6 million (which is 71.2% of total deposits). In addition, higher-cost time deposits increased by $15.2 million to a level of $192.0 million (which is 28.8% of total deposits). Remarkably, even with this increase in the total deposits of our Company, total interest expense as of March 31, 2026 decreased by ($93,000), or (2.6%), on a year-over-year basis. This decrease in total interest expense can be attributed to both the continued downward repricing of our core deposits, along with the maturity of a $20.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Ad…

Year-over-year, total assets increased by $30.1 million, or 3.6%, to a level of $878.0 million. This increase in total assets is primarily attributed to year-over-year increases in securities by $13.1 million (to a level of $244.3 million) and, bank owned life insurance by $18.5 million (to a level of $38.5 million). Overall, the increase in the level of interest earning assets on our balance sheet in the first six months of this year--- along with our loans outstanding continuing to reprice at higher rates--- helped our Company achieve an increase in the total interest income that it generated by $293,000, or 1.5%, over the level achieved during the same timeframe last year. Driving the increase in our Company’s total assets as of June 30, 2026 was the growth that we experienced in our total deposits.

Relating to the credit-quality metrics for our Company, our combined delinquency and nonaccrual loan levels have increased somewhat year-over-year from the uncharacteristically and historically low levels that we had maintained for several years… but, they did decline slightly from the levels that we reported at December 31, 2025. At quarter-end, March 31, 2026, our Company’s nonaccrual loans and loans past due thirty-plus days totaled $6.8 million (or, 1.36% of gross loans), which was an increase of $4.0 million year-over-year. On a linked-quarter basis, our level of nonaccrual loans and loans past due thirty-plus days declined by $416,000, or 5.7%, from $7.2 million. Regarding these metrics increasing on a year-over-year basis--- we had one commercial loan relationship with an outstanding balance of approximately $4.2 million go from being current last year to being classified as nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2026. This single relationship, which is presently not impaired, accounts for an overwhelming majority of the year-over-year increase in our nonaccrual loans. On the flip-side, our loans past due thirty plus days decreased by ($560,000) year-over-year to a level of $344,000 or 0.07% of gross loans. Accordingly, we believe that our overall credit quality is extremely sound and this single relationship is not indicative of a systemic increase of risk within our loan portfolio. Further highlighting the overall quality and soundness of our loan portfolio, our Company had net loans charged off (excluding overdrafts) of ($16,000) in the first quarter of this year, which on an annualized basis is (0.01%) of average loans and in-line with both the previous year and peer. In addition, our Company remains very well capitalized by regulatory standards with regulatory capital (stockholders’ equity plus accumulated other comprehensive loss) of $75.3 million or 8.8% of average assets, which is an increase of $2.0 million, or 2.7%, year-over-year.

Relating to other infrastructural investments that we have undertaken within the past year or two, our Company’s Unified Mortgage Division continues to contribute meaningfully to fee income. As we continue to scale this function with the addition of mortgage loan originators and with the positive operating leverage that presently exits within this developing division… we strongly believe that Unified Mortgage will continue to produce increasingly positive results and become more lucrative for our Company. Unified Mortgage is definitely becoming a known entity amongst the realtors within the markets that we serve. We also continue to invest in and develop our Treasury Management capabilities that help our small business customers with cash management, merchant services and payments. This function not only generates fee income for United Bancorp, Inc. (UBCP); but, also is a key driver of low or no cost deposits and strengthens relationship depth with our commercial customers. No doubt, both of these areas contributed to the increasing levels of noninterest income that we generated during the first quarter of this year--- with the latter also contributing to the growth in our low-cost deposits, which helped lead to the increase in deposit totals and decrease in our interest expense level as of March 31, 2026.
