United Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBSI) (“United”), today
reported earnings for the second quarter of 2024 of $96.5 million,
or $0.71 per diluted share. Second quarter of 2024 results produced
annualized returns on average assets, average equity and average
tangible equity, a non-GAAP measure, of 1.32%, 7.99% and 13.12%,
respectively.
“UBSI continues to consistently deliver exceptional results,”
stated Richard M. Adams, Jr., United’s Chief Executive Officer. “In
the second quarter we saw increases in profitability, capital,
loans, and deposits, as well as decreases in expenses and
non-performing assets. We anticipate continued success in the
second half of the year, and are excited about our recent
acquisition announcement of Piedmont Bancorp, Inc. in Atlanta.”
United previously announced during the second quarter of 2024
that it entered into a definitive merger agreement with Piedmont
Bancorp, Inc. (“Piedmont”). The combined organization will have
more than $32 billion in assets and a network of over 240 locations
across eight states and Washington, D.C., in some of the most
desirable banking markets in the nation. The merger is expected to
close late in the fourth quarter of 2024 or early in the first
quarter of 2025, subject to satisfaction of customary closing
conditions.
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. Earnings for the second quarter of 2023 were
$92.5 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, and annualized returns
on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity were
1.26%, 7.96% and 13.47%, respectively.
Second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of
2024
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2024 increased
$3.2 million, or 1%, from the first 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 second quarter of 2024 also increased $3.2 million, or 1%,
from the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net interest income
and tax-equivalent net interest income was driven by a higher yield
on average net loans and loans held for sale, organic loan growth
and a decrease in average long-term borrowings partially offset by
higher interest expense driven by the impact of deposit rate
repricing. The net interest spread increased 3 basis points to
2.52% for the second quarter of 2024 driven by an increase in the
yield on average earning assets of 9 basis points partially offset
by an increase in the average cost of funds of 6 basis points. The
yield on average net loans and loans held for sale increased 6
basis points to 6.14% for the second quarter of 2024. The first
quarter of 2024 included a $593 thousand interest reversal due to a
commercial & industrial loan relationship being placed on
nonaccrual whereas the second quarter of 2024 included a $654
thousand interest recovery from a commercial real estate nonaccrual
loan payoff. Average net loans and loans held for sale increased
$127.6 million, or 2% on an annualized basis, from the first
quarter of 2024. Average long-term borrowings decreased $209.8
million, or 14%, from the first quarter of 2024. The yield on
average interest-bearing deposits increased 8 basis points to 3.18%
for the second quarter of 2024. The net interest margin of 3.50%
for the second quarter of 2024 was an increase of 6 basis points
from the net interest margin of 3.44% for the first quarter of
2024.
The provision for credit losses was $5.8 million for the second
quarter of 2024 as compared to $5.7 million for the first quarter
of 2024.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2024 decreased $2.0
million, or 6%, from the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in
noninterest income was primarily due to a decrease in income from
mortgage banking activities of $1.4 million driven by lower
mortgage loan sale volume and a lower margin. During the second
quarter of 2024, United recognized a $6.9 million gain on the VISA
share exchange, of which $4.6 million was realized through the sale
of eligible shares and the remainder of which related to shares
held at fair value at quarter-end and which will be eligible to be
sold in the third quarter of 2024. Additionally, during the second
quarter of 2024, United sold $102.7 million of available for sale
(“AFS”) investment securities at a loss of $6.8 million.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2024 decreased
$6.0 million, or 4%, from the first quarter of 2024. The decrease
in noninterest expense was primarily driven by decreases in
employee benefits of $2.5 million, Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance expense of $1.4 million as well as
smaller decreases in other categories of noninterest expense. The
decrease in employee benefits was primarily driven by lower Federal
Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) and postretirement benefit
costs. The decrease in FDIC insurance expense was primarily due to
the inclusion in the first quarter of 2024 of an incremental $1.8
million of expense related to the FDIC special assessment. Other
noninterest expense was $32.8 million for the second quarter of
2024 compared to $33.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. The
decrease in other noninterest expense was driven by lower amounts
of certain general operating expenses partially offset by $1.3
million in merger-related expenses related to the Piedmont
acquisition.
For the second quarter of 2024, income tax expense was $18.9
million as compared to $21.4 million for the first quarter of 2024.
The decrease of $2.5 million was driven by the impact of discrete
tax benefits recognized in the second quarter of 2024 partially
offset by higher earnings. United’s effective tax rate was 16.4%
and 19.8% for the second quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2024,
respectively.
Second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of
2023
Earnings for the second quarter of 2024 were $96.5 million, or
$0.71 per diluted share, as compared to earnings of $92.5 million,
or $0.68 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023.
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2024 of $225.7
million slightly decreased by $1.7 million, or less than 1%, from
the second quarter of 2023. Tax-equivalent net interest income for
the second quarter of 2024 of $226.6 million slightly decreased by
$2.0 million, or less than 1%, from the second quarter of 2023. The
slight decrease in net interest income and tax-equivalent net
interest income was primarily due to higher interest expense driven
by deposit rate repricing, an increase in average interest-bearing
deposits and a decrease in acquired loan accretion income. The
decrease was largely offset by the impact of rising market interest
rates on earning assets, organic loan growth and a decrease in
average long-term borrowings. The yield on average interest-bearing
deposits increased 81 basis points from the second quarter of 2023.
Average interest-bearing deposits increased $1.2 billion from the
second quarter of 2023. Acquired loan accretion income for the
second quarter of 2024 decreased $671 thousand from the second
quarter of 2023. The yield on average earning assets increased 46
basis points from the second quarter of 2023 to 5.79% driven by an
increase in the yield on average net loans and loans held for sale
of 36 basis points. Average net loans and loans held for sale
increased $912.0 million from the second quarter of 2023. Average
long-term borrowings decreased $1.0 billion from the second quarter
of 2023. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2024 and
2023 was 3.50% and 3.51%, respectively.
The provision for credit losses was $5.8 million for the second
quarter of 2024 as compared to $11.4 million for the second quarter
of 2023.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2024 was $30.2
million, which was a decrease of $5.0 million, or 14%, from the
second quarter of 2023. Mortgage loan servicing income decreased
$9.1 million driven by an $8.1 million gain on the sale of mortgage
servicing rights (“MSRs”) in the second quarter of 2023. Income
from mortgage banking activities decreased $4.0 million from the
second quarter of 2023 mainly due to lower mortgage loan
origination and sale volume and a lower quarter-end valuation of
mortgage derivatives. Net losses on investment securities were $218
thousand for the second quarter of 2024 which included a $6.9
million gain on the VISA share exchange partially offset by a $6.8
million loss on the sale of AFS investment securities. Net losses
on investment securities for the second quarter of 2023 were $7.3
million driven by a $7.2 million loss on the sale of AFS investment
securities. Fees from brokerage services increased $1.0 million
from the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher volume.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2024 was flat from
the second quarter of 2023, decreasing $514 thousand, or less than
1%. Several categories of noninterest expense decreased which were
largely offset by increases in other categories, none of which were
significant. Within other noninterest expense, lower amounts of
certain general operating expenses were partially offset by $1.3
million in merger-related expenses and a $1.0 million increase in
tax credit amortization.
For the second quarter of 2024, income tax expense was $18.9
million as compared to $23.5 million for the second quarter of
2023. The decrease of $4.6 million was driven by the impact of
discrete tax benefits recognized in the second quarter of 2024.
United’s effective tax rate was 16.4% and 20.2% for the second
quarter of 2024 and second quarter of 2023, respectively.
First half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023
Earnings for the first six months of 2024 were $183.3 million,
or $1.35 per diluted share, as compared to earnings of $190.8
million, or $1.41 per diluted share, for the first six months of
2023.
Net interest income for the first half of 2024 decreased $13.6
million, or 3%, from the first half of 2023. Tax-equivalent net
interest income for the first half of 2024 decreased $14.1 million,
or 3%, from the first half of 2023. The decrease in net interest
income and tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily due to
higher interest expense driven by deposit rate repricing, an
increase in average interest-bearing deposits and a decrease in
acquired loan accretion income. These decreases were partially
offset by the impact of rising market interest rates on earning
assets, organic loan growth and a decrease in average long-term
borrowings. The yield on average interest-bearing deposits
increased 104 basis points from the first half of 2023. Average
interest-bearing deposits increased $1.3 billion from the first
half of 2023. Acquired loan accretion income for the first half of
2024 of $4.9 million was a decrease of $1.3 million from the first
half of 2023. The yield on average earning assets increased 53
basis points from the first half of 2023 to 5.74% driven by an
increase in the yield on average net loans and loans held for sale
of 44 basis points. Average net loans and loans held for sale
increased $856.2 million from the first half of 2023. Average
long-term borrowings decreased $967.1 million from the first half
of 2023. The net interest margin for the first half of 2024 and
2023 was 3.47% and 3.57%, respectively.
The provision for credit losses was $11.5 million for the first
six months 2024 as compared to $18.3 million for the first six
months of 2023.
Noninterest income for the first six months of 2024 was $62.4
million, which was a decrease of $5.5 million, or 8%, from the
first six months of 2023. Mortgage loan servicing income decreased
$10.5 million from the first half of 2023 driven by the
aforementioned sale of MSRs. Income from mortgage banking
activities decreased $5.1 million from the first half of 2023
mainly due to lower mortgage loan origination and sale volume and a
lower quarter-end valuation of mortgage derivatives and mortgage
loans held for sale. Net losses on investment securities were $317
thousand for the first half of 2024 which included a $6.9 million
gain on the VISA share exchange partially offset by a $6.8 million
loss on the sale of AFS investment securities. Net losses on
investment securities for the first six months of 2023 were $7.7
million driven by a $7.2 million loss on the sale of AFS investment
securities. Fees from brokerage services increased $2.1 million
from the first half of 2023 primarily due to higher volume.
Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2024 was $275.5
million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 1%, from the first six
months of 2023 driven by increases in employee compensation of $3.9
million, other noninterest expense of $2.9 million and FDIC
insurance expense of $2.4 million partially offset by decreases in
the expense for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $4.5
million and mortgage loan servicing expense of $1.6 million. The
increase in employee compensation was driven by higher employee
incentives, base salaries and employee severance associated with
the previously announced mortgage delivery channel consolidation.
The increase in other noninterest expense was primarily driven by a
$2.0 million increase in tax credit amortization, $1.3 million in
merger-related expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2024 and
higher amounts of certain general operating expenses. The increase
in FDIC insurance expense was driven by $1.8 million of expense
recognized in the first quarter of 2024 for the FDIC special
assessment. The decrease in the expense for the reserve for
unfunded loan commitments was driven by a decrease in the
outstanding balance of loan commitments. The decrease in mortgage
loan servicing expense was driven by the sale of MSRs.
For the first six months of 2024, income tax expense was $40.3
million as compared to $47.9 million for the first six months of
2023 primarily due to the impact of discrete tax benefits
recognized in the second quarter of 2024 and lower earnings.
United’s effective tax rate was 18.0% for the first six months of
2024 and 20.1% for the first six months of 2023.
Credit Quality
United’s asset quality continues to be sound. At June 30, 2024,
non-performing loans were $65.3 million, or 0.30% of loans &
leases, net of unearned income. Total non-performing assets were
$67.5 million, including other real estate owned (“OREO”) of $2.2
million, or 0.23% of total assets at June 30, 2024. At December 31,
2023, non-performing loans were $45.5 million, or 0.21% of loans
& leases, net of unearned income. Total non-performing assets
were $48.1 million, including OREO of $2.6 million, or 0.16% of
total assets at December 31, 2023. As previously disclosed in the
first quarter of 2024, the increase in non-performing loans and
non-performing assets from year-end was driven by one commercial
& industrial loan relationship. Non-performing loans decreased
$9.1 million from March 31, 2024 primarily due to a partial paydown
of the aforementioned commercial & industrial loan
relationship.
As of June 30, 2024, the allowance for loan & lease losses
was $267.4 million, or 1.24% of loans & leases, net of unearned
income, as compared to $259.2 million, or 1.21% of loans &
leases, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2023. Net
charge-offs were $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2024
compared to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2023. Annualized
net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans & leases, net
of unearned income were 0.02% for both the second quarter of 2024
and 2023. Net charge-offs were $3.3 million for the first half of
2024 compared to $2.4 million for the first half of 2023.
Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans &
leases, net of unearned income were 0.03% and 0.02% for the first
half of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net charge-offs were $2.1
million for the first quarter of 2024.
Capital
United continues to be well-capitalized based upon regulatory
guidelines. United’s estimated risk-based capital ratio is 15.8% at
June 30, 2024, while estimated Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1
capital and leverage ratios are 13.5%, 13.5% and 11.6%,
respectively. The June 30, 2024 ratios reflect United’s election of
a five-year transition provision, allowed by the Federal Reserve
Board and other federal banking agencies in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, to delay for two years the full impact of CECL
on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period.
The regulatory requirements for a well-capitalized financial
institution are a risk-based capital ratio of 10.0%, a Common
Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.0%
and a leverage ratio of 5.0%. United did not repurchase any shares
of its common stock during 2024 or 2023.

Cautionary Statements
The Company is required under generally accepted accounting
principles to evaluate subsequent events through the filing of its
June 30, 2024 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 June 30, 2024 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.

and credit markets, interest rate, securities market and monetary
supply fluctuations; increasing rates of inflation and slower
growth rates; the nature, extent, timing, and results of
governmental actions, examinations, reviews, reforms, regulations,
and interpretations, including those involving the Federal Reserve,
FDIC, and CFPB; the effect of changes in the level of checking or
savings account deposits on United’s funding costs and net interest
margin; future provisions for credit losses on loans and debt
securities; changes in nonperforming assets; risks relating to the
merger with Piedmont, including the successful integration of
operations of Piedmont; competition; changes in legislation or
regulatory requirements; and the impact of natural disasters,
extreme weather events, military conflict (including the
Russia/Ukraine conflict, the conflict in Israel and surrounding
areas, the possible expansion of such conflicts and potential
geopolitical consequences), terrorism or other geopolitical events.
