### NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
UNITED BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
#### 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of United Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“United” or “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the instructions for Form
10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.
Accordingly, the financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements presented as of June 30, 2026 and 2025 and for the three-month and
six-month
periods then ended have not been audited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been extracted from the audited financial statements included in United’s 2025 Annual Report to Shareholders. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in United’s 2025 Annual Report on Form
10-K,
which includes descriptions of significant accounting policies, should be read in conjunction with these interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, any adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of United and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Information is presented in these notes to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements with dollars expressed in thousands, except per share or unless otherwise noted.
Operating and Reporting Segments
As of June 30, 2026, United’s business activities are confined to one operating segment, United Bank, and one reportable segment, community banking. As a community banking entity, United, through United Bank, offers a full range of products and services through various delivery channels. Included among the banking products and services offered are the acceptance of deposits in checking, savings, time and money market accounts; the making and servicing of personal, credit card, commercial, and floor plan loans; and the making of construction and real estate loans as well as the origination and sale of residential mortgages in the secondary market. Also offered are trust and brokerage services, safe deposit boxes, and wire transfers. United’s chief operating decision maker regularly reviews the operating results of United Bank in order to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocation.
New Accounting Standards
In May 2026, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2026-02, “Environmental
Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818)”, to establish guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. Under the new standard, an entity will recognize and measure environmental credit assets based on their intended use (e.g., compliance environmental credits, noncompliance environmental credits, voluntary credits) as well as how the credits are obtained (e.g., acquired, internally generated). Environmental credit obligations will be recognized and measured depending on whether an entity holds and expects to use compliance environmental credits to settle that obligation. ASU
2026-02
is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (including interim periods within) and one year later for all other entities, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The adoption of
ASU 2026-02
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations but could change certain disclosures in United’s SEC filings.
11
---
In April 2026, the FASB released ASU
2026-01, “Equity
(Topic 505), Initial measurement of
Paid-in-Kind
Dividends on Equity-Classified Preferred Stock”, to add guidance on how an issuer should measure
paid-in-kind
(PIK) dividends on equity-classified preferred stock. The ASU’s requirements are limited to the measurement of PIK dividends and do not address recognition. ASU
2026-01
is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. An entity may apply the amendments on either a prospective basis or a modified retrospective basis for equity-classified preferred stock instruments that are outstanding as of the initial application date. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. An entity adopting the amendments in an interim period would be required to adopt them as of the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes that interim period. The adoption of
ASU 2026-01
is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations but could change certain disclosures in United’s SEC filings.
In December 2025, the FASB released ASU
2025-11, “Interim
Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements.” ASU
2025-11
is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 270 and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC Topic 270 if it provides “interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP.” The ASU also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, adds lists to ASC Topic 270 of the interim disclosures required by all other Codification topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must “disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity.” ASU
2025-11
is effective for all public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of
ASU 2025-11
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations but could change certain disclosures in United’s SEC filings.
In November 2025, the FASB released ASU
2025-09, “Derivatives
and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements.” ASU
2025-09
amends certain aspects of the hedge accounting guidance in ASC Topic 815. In addition to addressing stakeholder concerns, the amendments are intended to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. ASU
2025-09
is effective for all public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The ASU
2025-09
guidance should be applied prospectively for all hedging relationships as of the date of adoption. Entities must disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, as well as the method of applying the change, in both the interim reporting period and the annual reporting period in which they adopt the ASU. The adoption of
ASU 2025-09
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In November 2025, the FASB released ASU
2025-08, “Financial
Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans.” ASU
2025-08
makes significant changes to the accounting for certain acquired seasoned loans subject to the current expected credit loss model (CECL). No changes were made to the existing models for originated assets, purchased credit deteriorated assets (PCD) or other acquired assets. Under the ASU
2025-08,
the initial allowance for credit losses recorded upon the acquisition of loans in scope is recognized as an adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the loan–similar to the PCD model. For these loans, the
“day-one”
credit loss estimate does not impact earnings immediately but rather is amortized over time as an adjustment to interest income. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in earnings within credit loss expense. ASU
2025-08
is effective for all business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of
ASU 2025-08
may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for subsequent acquisitions.
In September 2025, the FASB released ASU
2025-06, “Goodwill
and
Other—Internal-Use
Software (Subtopic
350-40):
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for
Internal-Use
Software.” ASU
2025-06
modernizes the accounting for
internal-use
software (the existing
internal-use
software guidance does not contemplate more current methods of software development). The amendments in ASU
2025-06
are limited and focused on the key challenge that entities face in applying FASB ASC Subtopic
350-40—applying
that guidance to software that is developed using an incremental and iterative method. The amendments in ASU
2025-06
apply to all entities subject to the
internal-use
software guidance in FASB ASC Subtopic
350-40.
The amendments also apply to all entities that account for website development costs in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic
350-50,
Intangibles— Goodwill and Other—Website Development Costs. ASU
2025-06
is effective for all business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of
ASU 2025-06
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

---
In July 2025, the FASB released ASU
2025-05, “Financial
Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” ASU
2025-05
amends ASC Subtopic
326-20
to provide a practical expedient for all entities and an accounting policy election for all entities, other than public business entities, that elect the practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU
2025-05
addresses concerns from stakeholders that estimating expected credit losses can be costly and complex for such transactions. ASU
2025-05
was effective for all business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of
ASU 2025-05
did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2025, The FASB has released ASU
2025-03, “Business
Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity.” ASU
2025-03
is based on an EITF Issue and revises the guidance in ASC Topic 805 to clarify that, in determining the accounting acquirer in “a business combination that is effected primarily by exchanging equity interests in which a VIE is acquired,” an entity would be required to consider the factors in ASC Subtopic
805-10-55-12
through
55-15.
Previously, the accounting acquirer in such transactions was always the primary beneficiary. ASU
2025-03
is effective for all business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The adoption of
ASU 2025-03
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU
2025-01,
“Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic
220-40).”
ASU
2025-01
revised the effective date of ASU
2024-03
to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities within the ASU’s scope are permitted to early adopt. The adoption of
ASU 2025-01
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations but could change certain disclosures in United’s SEC filings.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU
2024-04,
“Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments.” ASU
2024-04
provides additional guidance on whether induced conversion or extinguishment accounting should be applied to certain settlements of convertible debt instruments that do not occur in accordance with the instruments’ preexisting terms. ASU
2024-04
requires entities to apply a preexisting contract approach. To qualify for induced conversion accounting under this approach, the inducement offer is required to preserve the form of consideration and result in an amount of consideration that is not less than that issuable pursuant to the preexisting conversion privileges. ASU
2024-04
clarifies how entities should assess the form and amount of consideration when applying this approach. ASU
2024-04
is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and can be adopted either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The adoption of
ASU 2024-04
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU
2024-03,
“Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic
220-40):
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU
2024-03
requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU
2024-03
adds ASC Subtopic
220-40
to require a footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring public business entities to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes any of the following natural expenses: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of
oil-
and
gas-producing
activities or other types of depletion expenses. Certain other expenses and gains or losses that must be disclosed under existing U.S. GAAP, and that are recorded in a relevant expense caption, must be presented in the same tabular disclosure. ASU
2024-03
does not change or remove existing expense disclosure requirements; however, it may affect where that information appears in the footnote to the financial statements. ASU
2024-03
is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. However, the effective date was amended by ASU
2025-01
to clarify that all public business entities adopt ASU
2024-03
in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and in interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities are permitted to early adopt the standard and apply retrospectively for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of
ASU 2024-03
did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations but could change certain disclosures in United’s SEC filings.

For the adoption of ASC Topic 326, United made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of
available-for-sale
debt securities and report accrued interest separately in “Accrued interest receivable” in the consolidated balance sheets.
Available-for-sale
debt securities are placed on
non-accrual
status when we no longer expect to receive all contractual amounts due, which is generally at 90 days past due. Accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income when a security is placed on
non-accrual
status. Accordingly, United does not currently recognize an allowance for credit loss against accrued interest receivable on
available-for-sale
debt securities. The table above excludes accrued interest receivable of $13,608 and $12,717 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, that is recorded in “Accrued interest receivable.”
The following is a summary of securities available for sale which were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The following table shows the proceeds from maturities, sales and calls
of
available for sale securities and the gross realized gains and losses on sales and calls of those securities that have been included in earnings as a result of any sales and calls. Gains or losses on sales and calls of available for sale securities were recognized by the specific identification method.
| Line item | Three Months Ended June 30 / 2026 | Three Months Ended June 30 / 2025 | Six Months Ended June 30 / 2026 | Six Months Ended June 30 / 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| Gross realized gains | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Gross realized losses | 9,728 | 0 | 9,728 | 0 |
At June 30, 2026, gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities were $218,489 on 878 securities of a total portfolio of 1,034 available for sale securities. Securities with the most significant gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2026 consisted primarily of agency residential mortgage-backed securities, state and political subdivision securities, agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and other corporate securities.
In determining whether or not a security is impaired, management considered the severity of the loss in conjunction with United’s positive intent and the more likely than not ability to hold these securities to recovery of their cost basis or maturity. Generally, the significant amount of gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities at June 30, 2026 was the result of rising interest rates.
State and political subdivisions
United’s state and political subdivisions portfolio relates to securities issued by various municipalities located throughout the United States. The total amortized cost of available for sale state and political subdivision securities was $564,691 at June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, approximately 46% of the portfolio was supported by the general obligation of the issuing municipality, which allows for the securities to be repaid by any means available to the municipality. The majority of the portfolio was rated AA or higher, and no securities within the portfolio were rated below investment grade as of June 30, 2026. In addition to monitoring the credit ratings of these securities, management also evaluates the financial performance of the underlying issuers on an ongoing basis. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that none of the state and political subdivision securities had credit losses at June 30, 2026.

Mortgage-backed securities
The fair value of
mortgage-backed
securities is affected by changes in interest rates and prepayment speeds. When interest rates decline, prepayment speeds generally accelerate due to homeowners refinancing their mortgages at lower interest rates. This may result in the proceeds being reinvested at lower interest rates. Rising interest rates may decrease the assumed prepayment speed. Slower prepayment speeds may extend the maturity of the security beyond its estimated maturity. Therefore, investors may not be able to invest at current higher market rates due to the extended expected maturity of the security. United had a net unrealized loss of $143,149 on
mortgage-backed
securities at June 30, 2026. Below is a detailed discussion of mortgage-backed securities by type.
United’s agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio relates to securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. The total amortized cost of available for sale agency mortgage-backed securities was $2,242,507 at June 30, 2026. Of the $2,242,507 amount, $327,174 was related to agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and $1,915,333 was related to agency residential mortgage-backed securities. Each of the agency mortgage-backed securities provides a guarantee of full and timely payments of principal and interest by the issuing agency. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that none of the agency mortgage-backed securities had credit losses at June 30, 2026.
United’s
non-agency
residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio relates to securities of various private label issuers. The total amortized cost of available for sale
non-agency
residential mortgage-backed securities was $41,938 at June 30, 2026. Of the $
41,938
, 100% was rated AAA. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that none of the
non-agency
residential mortgage-backed securities had credit losses at June 30, 2026.
Asset-backed securities
As of June 30, 2026, United’s asset-backed securities portfolio had a total amortized cost balance of $175,611. 100% of the portfolio had at least one rating above investment grade as of June 30, 2026. Approximately 77% of the portfolio relates to securities that are backed by Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”) student loan collateral which includes a minimum of a 97% government repayment guaranty, as well as additional credit support and subordination in excess of the government guaranteed portion. Approximately 23% of the portfolio relates to collateralized loan obligation securities that are all AAA rated. Upon reviewing this portfolio as of June 30, 2026, it was determined that none of the asset-backed securities had credit losses.
Single issue trust preferred securities
The majority of United’s single issue trust preferred portfolio consists of obligations from large cap banks (i.e. banks with market capitalization in excess of $10 billion). All single issue trust preferred securities are currently receiving interest payments. The amortized cost of available for sale single issue trust preferred securities as of June 30, 2026 consisted of $7,492 in investment grade bonds and $5,838 in unrated bonds. Management reviews each issuer’s current and projected earnings trends, asset quality, capitalization levels, and other key factors. Upon completing the review for the second quarter of 2026, it was determined that none of the single issue trust preferred securities had credit losses.
Other corporate securities
As of June 30, 2026, United’s other corporate securities portfolio had a total amortized cost balance of $212,504. The majority of the portfolio consisted of debt issuances of corporations representing a variety of industries, including financial institutions. Of the $212,504, 95% had at least one rating above investment grade, 2% were below investment grade rated, and 3% were unrated. For other corporate securities, management has evaluated the near-term prospects of the investment in relation to the severity of any unrealized loss. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that none of the other corporate securities had credit losses at June 30, 2026.

#### 4. CREDIT QUALITY
Management monitors the credit quality of its loans and leases on an ongoing basis. Measurement of delinquency and past due status are based on the contractual terms of each loan. United considers a loan to be past due when it is 30 days or more past its contractual payment due date.
For all loan classes, past due loans and leases are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify loans and leases for nonaccrual status. Generally, when collection in full of the principal and interest is jeopardized, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. The accrual of interest income on commercial and most consumer loans generally is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 to 120 days past due as to principal or interest. However, regardless of delinquency status, if a loan is fully secured and in the process of collection and resolution of collection is expected in the near term (generally less than 90 days), then the loan will not be placed on nonaccrual status. When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest recognized in income in the current year is reversed, and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged to the allowance for credit losses. United’s method of income recognition for loans and leases that are classified as nonaccrual is to recognize interest income on a cash basis or apply the cash receipt to principal when the ultimate collectability of principal is in doubt. Nonaccrual loans and leases will not normally be returned to accrual status unless all past due principal and interest has been paid and the borrower has evidenced their ability to meet the contractual provisions of the note.
The following table sets forth United’s age analysis of its past due loans and leases, segregated by class of loans and leases:

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were commitments to lend additional funds of $9 and $139, respectively, to debtors owing loan receivables whose terms have been modified.
United’s estimate of future credit losses uses a lifetime methodology, derived from modeled loan performance based on the extensive historical experience of loans with similar risk characteristics, adjusted to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The historical loss experience used in United’s credit loss models includes the impact of loan modifications provided to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, and also includes the impact of projected loss severities as a result of loan defaults.
United closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table presents the performance in the 12 months after a modification made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty presented by class of financing receivable:

No loan or lease modifications completed within the last 12 months to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty had a payment default during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
United elected the practical expedient to measure expected credit losses on collateral dependent loans and leases based on the difference between the loan’s amortized cost and the collateral’s fair value, adjusted for selling costs. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans and leases in which repayment is expected to be derived substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, by class of loans and leases as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

United categorizes loans and leases into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, underlying collateral (if any), public information and current economic trends, among other factors.
United uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
- Pass
- Special Mention
- Substandard
- Doubtful
For United’s loans with a corporate credit exposure, United analyzes loans individually to classify the loans as to credit risk. Review and analysis of criticized (special mention-rated loans in the amount of $1,000 or greater) and classified (substandard-rated and worse in the amount of $500 and greater) loans is completed once per quarter. Review of notes with committed exposure of $4,000 or greater is completed at least annually. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, United internally assigns a grade based upon an individual loan’s delinquency status. United reviews and updates, as necessary, these grades on a quarterly basis.
Special mention loans, with a corporate credit exposure, have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Borrowers may be experiencing adverse operating trends (declining revenues or margins) or an ill proportioned balance sheet (e.g., increasing inventory without an increase in sales, high leverage, tight liquidity). Adverse economic or market conditions, such as interest rate increases or the entry of a new competitor, may also support a special mention rating. Nonfinancial reasons for rating a credit exposure special mention include management problems, pending litigation, an ineffective loan agreement or other material structural weakness, and any other significant deviation from prudent lending practices. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, loans that are past due
30-89
days are generally considered special mention.

A substandard loan with a corporate credit exposure is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt by the borrower. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. They require more intensive supervision by management. Substandard loans are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization. Repayment may depend on collateral or other credit risk mitigants. For some substandard loans, the likelihood of full collection of interest and principal may be in doubt and thus, placed on nonaccrual. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, loans that are 90 days or more past due or that have been placed on nonaccrual are considered substandard.
A loan with corporate credit exposure is classified as doubtful if it has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable. A doubtful loan has a high probability of total or substantial loss, but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the loan, its classification as loss is deferred. Doubtful borrowers are usually in default, lack adequate liquidity or capital, and lack the resources necessary to remain an operating entity. Pending events can include mergers, acquisitions, liquidations, capital injections, the perfection of liens on additional collateral, the valuation of collateral, and refinancing. Generally, there are not any loans with a consumer credit exposure that are classified as doubtful. Usually, they are
charged-off
prior to such a classification.
Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans and leases as well as charge-offs and recoveries by class of loans is as follows. Loans originated in any year may be renewals of existing loans and not necessarily new loans.

At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, other real estate owned (“OREO”) included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $10,212 and $8,857, respectively. OREO consists of real estate acquired in foreclosure or other settlement of loans. Such assets are carried at the lower of the investment in the assets or the fair value of the assets less estimated selling costs. Any adjustment to the fair value at the date of transfer is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent valuation adjustments as well as any costs relating to operating, holding or disposing of the property are recorded in other expense in the period incurred. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the recorded investment of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process was $2,324 and $1,868, respectively.

5. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost to present the net amount expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date. Such allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (contractual term). Assets are charged off when United determines that such financial assets are deemed uncollectible or based on regulatory requirements, whichever is earlier. Charge-offs are recognized as a deduction from the allowance for credit losses. Expected recoveries of amounts previously
charged-off,
not to exceed the aggregate of the amount previously
charged-off,
are included in determining the necessary reserve at the balance sheet date.
United made a policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance separately in its consolidated balance sheets from the amortized cost of a loan. Accrued interest receivable was $85,508 and $95,960 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, related to loans and leases are included separately in “Accrued interest receivable” in the consolidated balance sheets. For all classes of loans and leases receivable, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Interest received on nonaccrual loans and leases, generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal.
The following table represents the accrued interest receivable as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

United estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level or term as well as reasonable and supportable forecast adjustments for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values or other relevant factors. A reversion to historical loss data occurs via a straight-line method during the year following the
one-year
reasonable and supportable forecast period.

United pools its loans and leases based on similar risk characteristics in estimating expected credit losses. United has identified the following portfolio segments and measures the allowance for credit losses using the following methods:
- Method: Probability of Default/Loss Given Default (PD/LGD)
- Commercial Real Estate Owner-Occupied
- Commercial Real Estate Nonowner-Occupied
- Commercial Other
- Method: Cohort
- Residential Real Estate
- Construction & Land Development
- Consumer
- Bankcard
Risk characteristics of commercial real estate owner-occupied loans and commercial other loans and leases are similar in that they are normally dependent upon the borrower’s internal cash flow from operations to service debt. Commercial real estate nonowner-occupied loans differ in that cash flow to service debt is normally dependent on external income from third parties for use of the real estate such as rents, leases and room rates. Residential real estate loans are dependent upon individual borrowers who are affected by changes in general economic conditions, demand for housing and resulting residential real estate valuation. Construction and land development loans are impacted mainly by demand whether for new residential housing or for retail, industrial, office and other types of commercial construction within a given area. Consumer loan pool risk characteristics are influenced by general, regional and local economic conditions.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral but may also include other
non-performing
loans, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. These individually evaluated loans are removed from their respective pools and typically represent collateral dependent loans.
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans and leases, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancelable by United.
At the acquisition date, an initial allowance for expected credit losses for
non-PCD
loans is estimated and recorded as credit loss expense. The subsequent measurement of expected credit losses for all acquired loans is the same as the subsequent measurement of expected credit losses for originated loans. For allowance for credit losses under ASC Topic 326 calculation purposes, United includes its acquired loans and leases in their relevant pool unless they meet the criteria for specific review.
United maintains an allowance for loan losses and a reserve for lending-related commitments such as unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. The reserve for lending-related commitments of $37,222 and $35,075 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, is separately classified on the balance sheet and is included in other liabilities. The combined allowance for loan losses and reserve for lending-related commitments is considered the allowance for credit losses.
United’s allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2026 was relatively flat from December 31, 2025, increasing $1,986 or less than 1%.

The second quarter of 2026 qualitative adjustments include analyses of the following:
- Current conditions – United considered the impact of changes in collateral values for dependent loans; past due, nonaccrual and adversely classified loans and leases; and concentrations of credit.
- Reasonable and supportable forecasts – The forecast is determined on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis by relating the correlation of real GDP, the unemployment rate, commercial real estate price index, mortgage rate, house price index and real disposable personal income to loss rates to forecasts of those variables. The reasonable and supportable forecast selection is subjective in nature and requires more judgment compared to the other components of the allowance. Assumptions for the economic variables were the following:
- The forecast for real GDP declined slightly in the second quarter, from a projection of 2.40% for 2026 as of mid-March 2026 to 2.20% for 2026 as of mid-June with a projection of 2.30% for 2027. The unemployment rate forecast improved slightly in the second quarter with a projection of 4.40% for 2026 as of mid-March 2026 to 4.30% as of mid-June 2026 with projection of 4.30% for 2027. The forecast for the house price index declined in the second quarter with a projection of 0.67% for 2026 and 0.70% for 2027 compared to 1.82% and 2.24% for 2026 and 2027, respectively, in the first quarter. Similarly, the mortgage rate increased to 6.32% for 2026 and 2027 during the second quarter compared to 6.13% in 2026 and 6.22% in 2027 in the first quarter. The real disposable personal income forecast declined for 2026 from 2.03% in the first quarter to 0.87% in the second quarter but improved for 2027 from 2.13% in the first quarter to 2.40% in the second quarter. The outlook for the commercial real estate price index experienced minimal change in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2026.
- Reversion to historical loss data occurs via a straight-line method during the year following the one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period.
A progression of the allowance for loan and lease losses, by portfolio segment, for the periods indicated is summarized as follows:

#### 7. LEASES
United determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. United and certain subsidiaries have entered into various noncancelable-operating leases for branch and loan production offices as well as operating facilities. Operating leases are included in operating lease
right-of-use
(“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Presently, United does not have any finance leases.
United’s operating leases are subject to renewal options under various terms. United’s operating leases have remaining terms of 1 to 15 years, some of which include options to extend leases generally for periods of 5 years. United rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties. Our sublease portfolio generally consists of operating leases to other organizations for former branch offices.
ROU assets represent United’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent United’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of United’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that United will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

8. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, short-term borrowings were as follows:
| Line item | As of June 30, 2026 | As of December 31, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Federal funds purchased | $0 | $0 |
| Securities sold under agreements to repurchase | 166,996 | 198,573 |
| Total short-term borrowings | $166,996 | $198,573 |
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase have not been a significant source of funds for the company. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase were accounted for as collateralized financial transactions. They were recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest.
United has various unused lines of credit available from certain of its correspondent banks in the aggregate amount of $280,000. These lines of credit, which bear interest at prevailing market rates, permit United to borrow funds in the overnight market, and are renewable annually subject to certain conditions.
United has a $20,000 line of credit with an unrelated financial institution to provide for general liquidity needs. The line is an unsecured, revolving line of credit. The line is renewable on a 360 day basis and carries an indexed, floating-rate of interest. The line requires compliance with various financial and nonfinancial covenants. At June 30, 2026, United had no outstanding balance under this credit.
#### 9. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS
United’s subsidiary bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). Membership in the FHLB makes available short-term and long-term borrowings from collateralized advances. All FHLB borrowings are collateralized by a mix of single-family residential mortgage loans, commercial loans and investment securities. At June 30, 2026, United had an unused borrowing amount of approximately $9,253,375 available subject to delivery of collateral after certain trigger points. Advances may be called by the FHLB or redeemed by United based on predefined factors and penalties.
At June 30, 2026, a $250,000 FHLB advance with a weighted-average contractual interest rate of 3.82% and a weighted-average effective interest rate of 0.59% is scheduled to mature in 2026. The weighted-average effective rate considers the effect of any interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges outstanding at June 30, 2026 to manage interest rate risk on its long-term debt.
At June 30, 2026, United had a total of twenty statutory business trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing or participating in pools of trust preferred capital securities (“Capital Securities”) with the proceeds invested in junior subordinated debt securities (“Debentures”) of United. The Debentures, which are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness and certain other financial obligations of United, are the sole assets of the trusts and United’s payment under the Debentures is the sole source of revenue for the trusts. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Debentures was $282,615 and $281,817, respectively, and was included in the category of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets entitled “Other long-term borrowings.” The Capital Securities are not included as a component of shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. United fully and unconditionally guarantees each individual trust’s obligations under the Capital Securities. Under the provisions of the subordinated debt, United has the right to defer payment of interest on the subordinated debt at any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on the subordinated debt are deferred, the dividends on the Capital Securities are also deferred. Interest on the subordinated debt is cumulative.
In accordance with the fully-phased in “Basel III Capital Rules” as published by United’s primary federal regulator, the Federal Reserve, United is unable to consider the Capital Securities or the
fixed-to-floating
rate subordinated notes as Tier 1 capital, but rather the Capital Securities and the
fixed-to-floating
rate subordinated notes are included as a component of United’s Tier 2 capital. United can include the Capital Securities and the
fixed-to-floating
rate subordinated notes in its Tier 2 capital on a permanent basis.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Lending-related Commitments
United 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 and to alter its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and interest rate swap agreements. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements.
United’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for the loan commitments and standby letters of credit is the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. United uses the same policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance
sheet instruments. Collateral may be obtained, if deemed necessary, based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily, and historically do not, represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. United had approximately $6,919,609 and $6,408,827 of loan commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, approximately 33% of which contractually expire within one year.
Commercial and standby letters of credit are agreements used by United’s customers as a means of improving their credit standing in their dealings with others. Under these agreements, United guarantees certain financial commitments of its customers. A commercial letter of credit is issued specifically to facilitate trade or commerce. Typically, under the terms of a commercial letter of credit, a commitment is drawn upon when the underlying transaction is consummated as intended between the customer and a third party. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, United had $125 and $2,762 of commercial letters of credit outstanding. A standby letter of credit is generally contingent upon the failure of a customer to perform according to the terms of an underlying contract with a third party. United has issued standby letters of credit of $170,436 and $166,885 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. In accordance with the Contingencies Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, United has determined that substantially all of its letters of credit are renewed on an annual basis and the fees associated with these letters of credit are immaterial.
Mortgage Banking
Related to its mortgage banking activities, United provides for its estimated exposure to repurchase loans previously sold to investors for which borrowers failed to provide full and accurate information on their loan application or for which appraisals have not been acceptable or where the loan was not underwritten in accordance with the loan program specified by the loan investor, and for other exposure to its investors related to loan sales activities. United evaluates the merits of each claim and estimates its reserve based on actual and expected claims received and considers the historical amounts paid to settle such claims. United’s reserve was immaterial as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
United has derivative counter-party risk that may arise from the possible inability of United’s mortgage banking third party investors to meet the terms of their forward sales contracts. United works with mortgage banking third-party investors that are generally well-capitalized, are investment grade and exhibit strong financial performance to mitigate this risk. United does not expect any third-party investor to fail to meet its obligation.
Legal Proceedings
United and its subsidiaries are currently involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of business. On at least a quarterly basis, United assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with all pending or threatened claims and litigation, utilizing the most recent information available. On a
matter-by-matter
basis, an accrual for loss is established for those matters which United believes it is probable that a loss may be incurred and that the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, each accrual is adjusted as appropriate to reflect any subsequent developments. Accordingly, management’s estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses may be more or less than the current estimate. For matters where a loss is not probable, or the amount of the loss cannot be estimated, no accrual is established.
36
---
Management is vigorously pursuing all its legal and factual defenses and, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that all such litigation will be resolved with no material effect on United’s financial statements.
Regulatory Matters
A variety of consumer products, including mortgage and deposit products, and certain fees and charges related to such products, have come under increased regulatory scrutiny. It is possible that regulatory authorities could bring enforcement actions, including civil money penalties, or take other actions against United in regard to these consumer products. United could also determine of its own accord, or be required by regulators, to refund or otherwise make remediation payments to customers in connection with these products. It is not possible at this time for management to assess the probability of a material adverse outcome or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss related to such matters.
#### 11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
United uses derivative instruments to help aid against adverse price changes or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets or liabilities and on future cash flows. These derivatives may consist of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, collars, futures, forward contracts, written and purchased options. United also executes derivative instruments with its commercial banking customers to facilitate its risk management strategies.
Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
Fair value hedges may be eligible for offset on the consolidated balance sheets because they are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. United has elected not to offset the assets and liabilities subject to such arrangements on the consolidated financial statements.
United holds an interest rate swap derivative with a notional amount of $250,000. The derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge and is intended to hedge the changes in cash flows associated with floating rate FHLB borrowings. As of June 30, 2026, United has determined that no forecasted transactions related to its cash flow hedges resulted in gains or losses pertaining to cash flow hedge reclassification from AOCI to income because the forecasted transactions became probable of not occurring. United estimates that $8,528 will be reclassified from AOCI as a decrease to interest expense over the next
12-months
following June 30, 2026 related to the cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2026, the maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged is f
our
years.
At inception of a hedge relationship, United formally documents the hedged item, the particular risk management objective, the nature of the risk being hedged, the derivative being used, how effectiveness of the hedge will be assessed and how the ineffectiveness of the hedge will be measured. United also assesses hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis using regression analysis. Hedge ineffectiveness is measured by using the change in fair value method. The change in fair value method compares the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative to the change in the fair value of the hedged exposure, attributable to changes in the benchmark rate.
United is subject to the Dodd-Frank Act clearing requirement for eligible derivatives. United has executed and cleared eligible derivatives through the London Clearing House (“LCH”). Variation margin at the LCH is distinguished as
settled-to-market
and settled daily based on the prior day value, rather than
collateralized-to-market.
The daily settlement of the derivative exposure does not change or reset the contractual terms of the instrument. The total notional amount of interest rate swap derivatives designated as cash flow hedges cleared through the LCH include $250,000 for asset derivatives as of June 30, 2026. Balances related to LCH are presented as a single unit of account with the fair value of the designated cash flow interest rate swap asset being reduced by variation margin posted by (with) the applicable counterparty and reported in the following table on a net basis. The related fair value on a net basis approximates zero.

United enters into interest rate lock commitments to finance residential mortgage loans with its customers. These commitments, which contain fixed expiration dates, offer the borrower an interest rate guarantee provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines and closes within the timeframe established by United. Interest rate risk arises on these commitments and subsequently closed loans if interest rates change between the time of the interest rate lock and the delivery of the loan to the investor. Market risk on interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale is managed using corresponding forward mortgage loan sales contracts. United is a party to these forward mortgage loan sales contracts to sell loans with servicing released and short sales of mortgage-backed securities. When the interest rate is locked with the borrower, the rate lock commitment, forward sale agreement, and mortgage-backed security position are undesignated derivatives and marked to fair value through earnings. A detailed discussion to determine the fair value of derivative financial instruments is presented in Note 12 to these unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Income from mortgage banking activities includes the gain recognized for the period presented and associated elements of fair value.

Derivative contracts involve the risk of dealing with both bank customers and institutional derivative counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. United’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional amount of the contract. The Company’s agreements generally contain provisions that limit the unsecured exposure up to an agreed upon threshold. Additionally, the Company attempts to minimize credit risk through certain approval processes established by management.

#### 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
United determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” which also clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect United’s market assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on these two types of inputs are as follows:
Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.
Level 3 - Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.
40
---
When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, United looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities whenever possible and classifies such items in Level 1. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, United looks to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities and classifies such items as Level 2. Nevertheless, certain assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets and United must use alternative valuation techniques using unobservable inputs to determine a fair value and classifies such items as Level 3. For assets and liabilities that are not actively traded, the fair value measurement is based primarily upon estimates that require significant judgment. Therefore, the results may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there are inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values. The level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant in the fair value measurement.
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the following describes the valuation techniques used by United to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.
Securities available for sale and equity securities
: Securities available for sale and equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (“Level 1”). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Using a market approach valuation methodology, third party vendors compile prices based on observable market inputs, which include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, and “To Be Announced” prices (“Level 2”). Management internally reviews the fair values provided by third party vendors on a monthly basis. Management also performs a quarterly price testing analysis at the individual security level which compares the pricing provided by the third party vendors to an independent pricing source’s valuation of the same securities. Variances that are deemed to be material are reviewed by management. Additionally, to further assess the reliability of the information received from third party vendors, management obtains documentation from third party vendors related to the sources, methodologies, and inputs utilized in valuing securities classified as Level 2. Management analyzes this information to ensure the underlying assumptions appear reasonable. Management also obtains an independent service auditor’s report from third party vendors to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate controls are in place over the valuation process. Upon completing its review of the pricing from third party vendors at June 30, 2026, management determined that the prices provided by its third party pricing sources were reasonable and in line with management’s expectations for the market values of these securities. Therefore, prices obtained from third party vendors that did not reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales were not adjusted materially by management at June 30, 2026. Management utilizes a number of factors to determine if a market is inactive, all of which may require a significant level of judgment. Factors that management considers include: a significant widening of the
bid-ask
spread, a considerable decline in the volume and level of trading activity in the instrument, a significant variance in prices among market participants, and a significant reduction in the level of observable inputs. Any securities available for sale not valued based upon quoted market prices or third party pricing models that consider observable market data are considered Level 3. Currently, United does not have any
available-for-sale
securities considered as Level 3.
Loans held for sale
: For residential mortgage loans sold, the loans closed are recorded at fair value using the fair value option which is measured using valuations from investors for loans with similar characteristics (“Level 2”) with some adjusted for the Company’s actual sales experience versus the investor’s indicated pricing (“Level 3”). The unobservable input for Level 3 valuations is the Company’s historical sales prices. For June 30, 2026, the range of historical sales prices increased the investor’s indicated pricing by a range of 0.043% to 0.313% with a weighted average increase of 0.202%.
Derivatives
: United utilizes interest rate swaps to hedge exposure to interest rate risk and variability of cash flows associated to changes in the underlying interest rate of the hedged item. These hedging interest rate swaps are classified as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. United utilizes third-party vendors for derivative valuation purposes. These vendors determine the appropriate fair value based on a net present value calculation of the cash flows related to the interest rate swaps using primarily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves (“Level 2”). Valuation adjustments to derivative fair values for liquidity and credit risk are also taken into consideration, as well as the likelihood of default by United and derivative counterparties, the net counterparty exposure and the remaining maturities of the positions. Values obtained from third party vendors are typically not adjusted by management. Management internally reviews the derivative values provided by third party vendors on a quarterly basis. All derivative values are tested for reasonableness by management utilizing a net present value calculation.
41
---
For a fair value hedge, the fair value of the interest rate swap is recognized on the balance sheet as either a freestanding asset or liability with a corresponding adjustment to the hedged financial instrument. Subsequent adjustments due to changes in the fair value of a derivative that qualifies as a fair value hedge are offset in current period earnings either in interest income or interest expense depending on the nature of the hedged financial instrument. For a cash flow hedge, the fair value of the interest rate swap is recognized on the balance sheet as either a freestanding asset or liability with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity, net of tax. Subsequent adjustments due to changes in the fair value of a derivative that qualifies as a cash flow hedge are offset to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax and reclassified into earnings in the same line associated with the forecasted transaction when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.
The Company records its interest rate lock commitments, forward loan sales commitments and TBA mortgage-backed securities at fair value determined as the amount that would be required to settle each of these derivative financial instruments at the balance sheet date. In the normal course of business, United enters into contractual interest rate lock commitments to extend credit to borrowers with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers
“lock-in”
a specified interest rate within the timeframes established by the mortgage companies. All borrowers are evaluated for credit worthiness prior to the extension of the commitment. Interest rate risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the interest rate lock by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to the investor. To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, United enters into either a forward sales contract to sell loans to investors or a TBA mortgage-backed security. Fair values of TBA mortgage-backed securities are measured using valuations from investors for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics (“Level 2”) adjusted for the Company’s actual sales experience versus the investor’s indicated pricing (“Level 3”). The forward sales contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments. (“Level 2”) adjusted for the Company’s actual sales experience versus the investor’s indicated pricing (“Level 3”). The interest rate lock commitments are recorded at fair value which is measured using valuations from investors for loans with similar characteristics (“Level 2”) adjusted for the Company’s actual sales experience versus the investor’s indicated pricing (“Level 3”). The unobservable input for Level 3 valuations is the Company’s historical sales prices. For June 30, 2026, the range of historical sales prices increased the investor’s indicated pricing by a range
of
0.043
% to
0.313
% with a weighted average increase of
0.202
%.
For derivatives that are not designated in a hedge relationship, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized in income from mortgage banking activities in the same period as the change in the fair value. Unrealized gains and losses due to changes in the fair value of other derivative financial instruments not in hedge relationships are included in noninterest income and noninterest expense, respectively.
The following tables present the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December
31
, 2025, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of
lower-of-cost-or-market
accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
45
---
The following describes the valuation techniques used by United to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.
Individually assessed loans
: In the determination of the allowance for loan losses, loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. Fair value is measured using a market approach based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using comparable property sales (“Level 2”). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (“Level 3”). For individually assessed loans, a specific reserve is established through the allowance for loan losses, if necessary, by estimating the fair value of the underlying collateral on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
OREO
: OREO consists of real estate acquired in foreclosure or other settlement of loans. Such assets are carried on the balance sheet at the lower of the investment in the assets or the fair value of the assets less estimated selling costs. Fair value is determined by one of two market approach methods depending on whether the property has been vacated and an appraisal can be conducted. If the property has yet to be vacated and thus an appraisal cannot be performed, a Brokers Price Opinion (i.e. BPO), is obtained. A BPO represents a best estimate valuation performed by a realtor based on knowledge of current property values and a visual examination of the exterior condition of the property. Once the property is subsequently vacated, a formal appraisal is obtained and the recorded asset value appropriately adjusted. On the other hand, if the OREO property has been vacated and an appraisal can be conducted, the fair value of the property is determined based upon the appraisal using a market approach. An authorized independent appraiser conducts appraisals for United. Appraisals for property other than ongoing construction are ba
sed
on consideration of comparable property sales (“Level 2”). In contrast, valuation of ongoing construction assets requires some degree of professional judgment. In conducting an appraisal for ongoing construction property, the appraiser develops two appraised amounts: an “as is” appraised value and a “completed” value. Based on professional judgment and their knowledge of the particular situation, management determines the appropriate fair value to be utilized for such property (“Level 3”). As a matter of policy, valuations are reviewed at least annually and appraisals are generally updated on a
bi-annual
basis with values lowered as necessary.
Intangible Assets
: For United, intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangibles.
Goodwill
is tested for impairment at least annually or sooner if indicators of impairment exist. United may elect to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is more-likely-than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If United elects to bypass this qualitative analysis, or concludes via qualitative analysis that it is
more-likely-than-not
that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, United may use either a market or income quantitative approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge would be recorded for the difference, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. At each reporting date, the Company considers potential indicators of impairment. United performed its annual goodwill impairment test on the Company’s reporting unit as of September 30, 2025. The goodwill impairment test did not identify any goodwill impairment. In subsequent periods, economic uncertainty, market volatility and the performance of the Company’s stock as well as possible other impairment indicators could cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test which could result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period if the carrying value of goodwill was found to exceed fair value. Core deposit intangibles relate to the estimated value of the deposit base of acquired institutions. Management reviews core deposit intangible assets on an annual basis, or sooner if indicators of impairment exist, and evaluates changes in facts and circumstances that may indicate impairment in the carrying value. Other than those intangible assets recorded in the acquisition of Piedmont in the first six months of 2025, no other fair value measurement of intangible assets was made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by United in estimating its fair value disclosures for other financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.
Securities held to maturity and other securities
: The estimated fair values of securities held to maturity are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data. Any securities held to maturity, not valued based upon the methods above, are valued based on a discounted cash flow methodology using appropriately adjusted discount rates reflecting nonperformance and liquidity risks. Other securities consist mainly of shares of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock as well as investment tax credits that do not have readily determinable fair values and are carried at cost.
Loans and leases
: The fair values of certain mortgage loans (e.g.,
one-to-four
family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values of other loans and leases (e.g., commercial real estate and rental property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans, financial institution loans and agricultural loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans and leases with similar terms to borrowers of similar creditworthiness, which include adjustments for liquidity concerns. For acquired PCD loans, fair value is assumed to equal United’s carrying value, which represents the present value of expected future principal and interest cash flows, as adjusted for any Allowance for Credit Losses recorded for these loans.
Deposits
: The fair values of demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, regular savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values of fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
47
---
Short-term Borrowings:
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and any other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.
Long-term Borrowings:
The fair values of United’s Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and trust preferred securities are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on United’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Summary of Fair Values for All Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values of United’s financial instruments are summarized below:
| June 30, 2026 | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Fair Value Measurements / Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | Fair Value Measurements / Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Fair Value Measurements / Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |

#### 13. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
On May 14, 2025, United’s shareholders approved the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (“2025 EIP”), becoming effective on that date. The 2025 EIP replaced United’s 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2020 LTI Plan”). An award granted under the 2025 EIP may consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance based stock awards, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based or equity-related awards. These awards all relate to the common stock of United. The maximum number of shares of United common stock which may be issued under the 2025 EIP is 3,000,000. The 2025 EIP will be administered by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the
48
---
Board (the “Committee”). Awards are subject to a minimum vesting schedule of at least twelve months following the date of grant of such award, subject to accelerated vesting on certain events, including a change in control, and 5% of the shares available for grant under the 2025 EIP may be granted with a shorter minimum vesting period. Awards under the 2025 EIP will be subject to the terms of the Company’s Compensation Recoupment Policy and any other clawback or recapture policy that the Company may adopt from time to time and, in accordance with such policy, may be subject to the requirement that the awards be repaid to the Company after they have been distributed to the grantee. A Form
S-8
was filed on May 30, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register all the shares available for issuance under the 2025 EIP Plan.
During the first six months of 2026, a total of 155,135 shares of restricted stock and 226,556 of restricted stock units were granted under the 2025 EIP. No stock options were granted under the 2025 EIP during the first six months of 2026. Compensation expense of $3,938 and $7,152 related to the all share-based grants and awards under United’s Long-Term Incentive Plans was incurred for the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, as compared to compensation expense of $3,384 and $6,259 related to the all share-based grants and awards under United’s Long-Term Incentive Plans for the second quarter and first six months of 2025, respectively. Compensation expense was included in employee compensation in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.
Stock Options
During the first six months of 2026, no stock option awards were granted under the 2025 EIP. United does have options outstanding from various plans (the “Prior Plans”) under which stock options were granted; however, no shares of United stock are available for grants under the Prior Plans as these plans have expired. Awards outstanding under the Prior Plans will remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms. The maximum term for options granted under the Prior Plans is ten (10) years.
A summary of activity under United’s stock option plans as of June 30, 2026, and the changes during the first six months of 2026 are presented below:
| Line item | Shares | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | Weighted Average / Remaining Contractual Term (Yrs.) | Weighted Average / Exercise Price |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Outstanding at January 1, 2026 | 909,516 | | | $36.78 |
| Exercised | (86,357) | | | 31.61 |
| Forfeited or expired | (6,351) | | | 36.43 |
| Outstanding at June 30, 2026 | 816,808 | $6,945 | 2.2 | $37.33 |
| Exercisable at June 30, 2026 | 816,808 | $6,945 | 2.2 | $37.33 |
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 86,357 and 10,394 shares, respectively, were issued in connection wi
th
stock option exercises. All shares issued in connection with stock option exercises for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were issued from authorized and unissued stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised under the Plans during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $1,039 and $63, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option awards.
Restricted Stock
During the first six months of 2026, restricted stock awards totaling 155,135 shares were granted under the 2025 EIP. Under the 2025 EIP, recipients of restricted stock will have the right to vote all shares subject to such grant, whether or not the shares have vested, but any dividends paid upon any restricted stock will be retained by the Company during the period of restriction, and will be paid to the relevant grantee (without interest) when the restricted stock vests and will revert back to the Company if for any reason the restricted stock upon which such dividends were paid is forfeited by the grantee prior to vesting. United also has unvested restricted stock awards granted to key employees and
non-employee
directors of the Company under the 2020 LTI Plan. Shares of restricted stock granted under the 2020 LTI Plan to participants were scheduled to vest no sooner than
1/3
per year over the first
three
anniversaries of the award. Recipients of shares of
49
--- restricted stock under the 2020 LTI Plan did not pay any consideration to United for the shares, had the right to vote all shares subject to such grant and received all dividends with respect to such shares, whether or not the shares have vested. Presently, these nonvested participating securities have an immaterial impact on diluted earnings per share. As of June 30, 2026, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards was $10,424 with a weighted-average expense recognition period of 1.3 years.
The following summarizes the changes to United’s nonvested restricted common shares for the period ended June 30, 2026:
| Line item | Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Nonvested at January 1, 2026 | 325,427 | $36.52 |
| Granted | 155,135 | 44.07 |
| Vested | (157,764) | 37.14 |
| Forfeited | (4,329) | 39.12 |
| Nonvested at June 30, 2026 | 318,469 | $39.85 |
Restricted Stock Units
During the first six months of 2026, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) totaling 226,556 were granted to key employees of the Company under the 2025 EIP. These RSUs awarded help align the interests of these employees with the interests of the shareholders of United by providing economic value directly related to the performance of the Company. United also has unvested RSUs granted under the 2020 LTI Plan. RSUs granted under these two plans are time-vested RSUs, performance-vested RSUs, or a combination of both. Currently, time-vested RSUs vest ratably over three years from the date of grant. Performance-vested RSUs cliff-vest after assessment of the Company’s performance over a period of three years. The number of performance-vested RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2026 that will vest in the future is determined by two metrics measured relative to peers: Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (“ROATCE”) and Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”). Based on ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” the ROATCE comparison is considered a performance condition while the TSR comparison is considered a market condition. There will be no payout of the performance-vested awards if the threshold performance is not achieved. United communicates the specific threshold, target, and maximum performance-vested RSU awards and performance targets to the applicable key employees at the beginning of a performance period. Dividend equivalents are accrued but not paid in respect to the awards until the RSUs vest. The holder does not have the right to vote the shares until shares of common stock are delivered in respect of vested RSUs. The value of the time-vested RSUs and the performance-vested, based on the performance condition, RSUs awarded is established as the fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant. The value of the performance-vested, based on the market condition, RSUs awarded is estimated through the use of a Monte Carlo valuation model as of the grant date. The Company recognizes expense on the RSUs in accordance with ASC Topic

The following table summarizes the status of United’s nonvested RSUs during the first six months of 2026:
| Line item | Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Nonvested at January 1, 2026 | 595,485 | $35.28 |
| Granted | 226,556 | 47.83 |
| Vested | (157,695) | 38.24 |
| Forfeited or expired | (28,880) | 39.89 |
| Nonvested at June 30, 2026 | 635,466 | $38.81 |
As of June 30, 2026, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock units was $16,111 with a weighted-average expense recognition period of 1.5 years.

14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
United has a defined benefit retirement plan covering qualified employees hired prior to October 1, 2007. Pension benefits are based on years of service and the average of the employee’s highest five consecutive plan years of basic compensation paid during the ten plan years preceding the date of determination. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future. No discretionary contributions were made during the first six months of 2026 and 2025.
Included in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2025 are unrecognized actuarial losses of $10,725 that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost.
Net periodic pension costs, except for service cost, are recognized in employee benefits on the consolidated statements of income. Service cost is recognized in employee compensation.
Net periodic pension cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 included the following components:

#### 15. INCOME TAXES
United records a liability for uncertain income tax positions based on a recognition threshold of
more-likely-than-not,
and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements.
As of June 30, 2026, no interest was accrued related to uncertain tax positions as compared to $704 as of June 30, 2025. United accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes.
United is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 and certain State Taxing authorities for the years ended December 31, 2022 through 2024.
United’s effective tax rate was 19.96% and 20.16% for the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, and 20.62% and 20.85% for the second quarter and first six months of 2025. United’s effective tax rate was 20.38% for the first quarter of 2026.

#### 18. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are entities that either have a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest (i.e., ability to make significant decisions, through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, and obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity). VIEs can be structured as corporations, trusts, partnerships, or other legal entities. United’s business practices include relationships with certain VIEs. For United, the business purpose of these relationships primarily consists of funding activities in the form of issuing trust preferred securities.
United currently sponsors twenty statutory business trusts that were created for the purpose of raising funds that originally qualified for Tier I regulatory capital. As previously discussed, these trusts now are considered Tier II regulatory capital. These trusts, of which several were acquired through bank acquisitions, issued or participated in pools of trust preferred capital securities to third-party investors with the proceeds invested in junior subordinated debt securities of United. The Company, through a small capital contribution, owns 100% of the voting equity shares of each trust. The assets, liabilities, operations, and cash flows of each trust are solely related to the issuance, administration, and repayment of the preferred equity securities held by third-party investors. United fully and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of each trust and is obligated to redeem the junior subordinated debentures upon maturity.
53
---
As defined in applicable accounting standards, VIEs are entities that lack one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when an enterprise has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The enterprise with a controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, consolidates the VIE. United’s wholly owned and indirect wholly owned statutory trust subsidiaries are VIEs for which United is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, its accounts are not included in United’s consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, United’s investment (maximum exposure to loss) in these trusts were $12,873 and $12,686, respectively.

United, through its banking subsidiary, also makes limited partner equity investments in various low income housing and community development partnerships sponsored by independent third-parties. United invests in these partnerships to either realize tax credits on its consolidated federal income tax return or for purposes of earning a return on its investment. These partnerships are considered VIEs as the limited partners lack a controlling financial interest in the entities through their inability to make decisions that have a significant effect on the operations and success of the partnerships. These partnerships are not consolidated as United is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, United’s investment (maximum exposure to loss) in these low income housing and community development partnerships were $134,631 and $129,861, respectively, while related unfunded commitments were $92,147 and $103,184 respectively. The total amount of these unfunded commitments in low income housing, community development and other partnerships at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 includes $5,000 to a related interest of a director of the Company. As of June 30, 2026, United expects to recover its remaining investments through the use of the tax credits that are generated by the investments.

19. SEGMENT INFORMATION
United operates in one reportable segment, community banking. Through its community banking segment, United offers a full range of products and services through various delivery channels. Included among the banking products and services offered are the acceptance of deposits in checking, savings, time and money market accounts; the making and servicing of personal, credit card, commercial, and floor plan loans; and the making of construction and real estate loans as well as the origination and sale of residential mortgages in the secondary market. Also offered are trust and brokerage services, safe deposit boxes, and wire transfers. The community banking segment derives revenues mainly from interest income on loans to customers, investment securities held and other short-term investments in addition to fees and income derived related to the services listed above.
The accounting policies of the community banking segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. United’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer who maintains responsibility for the
day-to-day
management of the Company including regularly reviewing the operating results of the community banking segment in order to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocation based on net income that also is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of community banking segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets.
The CODM uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the community banking segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results as well as comparing to prior year’s results. The comparative analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment.

## Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
### FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 to encourage corporations to provide investors with information about the company’s anticipated future financial performance, goals, and strategies. The act provides a safe haven for such disclosure; in other words, protection from unwarranted litigation if actual results are not the same as management expectations.
United desires to provide its shareholders with sound information about past performance and future trends. Consequently, any forward-looking statements contained in this report, in a report incorporated by reference to this report, or made by management of United in this report, in any other reports and filings, in press releases and in oral statements, involve numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words “expect,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” and other words of similar meaning. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and estimates, which although believed to be reasonable, may turn out to be incorrect. Therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon these estimates and statements. United cannot assure that any of these statements, estimates, or beliefs will be realized and actual results may differ from those contemplated in these “forward-looking statements.” The following factors, among others, could cause the actual results of United’s operations to differ materially from its expectations: (1) the effects of and changes in trade and monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve and the trade and tariff policies; (2) general competitive, economic, political and market conditions and other factors that may affect future results of United, including changes in asset quality and credit risk; the economic impact of oil and gas prices; the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; changes in interest rates and capital markets; inflation; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; capital management activities; and other actions of the Federal Reserve Board and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; (3) deposit attrition, client loss or revenue loss following completed mergers or acquisitions that may be greater than anticipated; (4) regulatory change risk resulting from new laws, rules, regulations, or accounting principles, including, without limitation, the possibility that regulatory agencies may require higher levels of capital above the current regulatory-mandated minimums and the possibility of changes in accounting standards, policies, principles and practices; (5) the cost and effects of cyber incidents or other failures, interruptions, or security breaches of United’s systems and those of our customers or third-party providers; (6) competitive pressures on product pricing and services; (7) success, impact, and timing of United’s business strategies, including market acceptance of any new products or services; (8) volatility and disruptions in global capital and credit markets; (9) operational, technological, cultural, regulatory, legal, credit and other risks associated with the exploration, consummation and integration of potential future acquisitions; (10) catastrophic events such as hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, floods or other natural or human disasters, including public health crises and infectious disease outbreaks, as well as any government actions in response to such events; (11) geopolitical risk from terrorist activities and armed conflicts that may result in economic and supply disruptions, and loss of market and consumer confidence; (12) the risks of fluctuations in market prices for United common stock that may or may not reflect economic condition or performance of United; (13) the nature, extent, timing, and results of governmental actions, examinations, reviews, reforms, regulations, and interpretations; and any other risks described in the “Risk Factors” sections of this and other reports filed by United with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
United undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

### ACQUISITION

### USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This discussion and analysis contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under GAAP. 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.
Generally, United has presented a non-GAAP financial measure because it believes that this measure provides meaningful additional information to assist in the evaluation of United’s results of operations or financial position. Presentation of a non-GAAP financial measure is consistent with how United’s management evaluates its performance internally and this non-GAAP financial measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the banking industry. Specifically, this discussion contains certain references to financial measures identified as fully tax-equivalent net interest income and return on average tangible common equity. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures to be helpful in understanding United’s results of operations or financial position.
Net interest income, the yield on earning assets, yield on investment securities, net interest margin, and interest spread are presented in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on a fully tax-equivalent basis. The fully tax-equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. Although these are non-GAAP measures, United’s management believes these measures are more widely used within the financial services industry and provide better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources and additional insight into the net interest margin by adjusting for differences in tax treatment of interest income sources. United uses this measure to monitor net interest income performance, net interest margin and yields on earning assets and investment securities and to manage its balance sheet composition.
Average tangible common equity is calculated as GAAP total shareholders’ equity minus total intangible assets. Tangible common equity can thus be considered a more conservative valuation of the company. When considering net income, a return on average tangible common equity can be calculated. Management provides a return on average equity to facilitate the understanding of as well as to assess the quality and composition of United’s capital structure. This measure, along with others, is used by management to analyze capital adequacy and performance.
However, this non-GAAP information should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Where the non-GAAP financial measure is used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as reconciliation to that comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure, can be found within this discussion and analysis. Investors should recognize that United’s presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure might not be comparable to a similarly titled measure at other companies.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of United conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments, which are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses, the calculation of the income tax provision, and the use of fair value measurements to account for certain financial instruments to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.
United’s critical accounting policies involving the significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2026 were unchanged from the policies disclosed in United’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 within the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
### FINANCIAL CONDITION
United’s total assets as of June 30, 2026 were $33.75 billion, remaining steady from December 31, 2025. Investment securities increased $258.63 million or 7.61%, portfolio loans increased $285.40 million or 1.16%, bank-owned life insurance policies increased $10.91 million or 1.99%, operating lease right-of-use assets increased $3.46 million or 3.87%, and loans held for sale increased $3.95 million or 12.62%. Partially offsetting these increases in assets, cash and cash equivalents decreased $460.95 million or 18.13% and interest receivable decreased $9.57 million or 8.76%. Total liabilities remained flat, increasing $77.00 million or less than 1% from year-end 2025. This increase in total liabilities was due mainly to an increase of $109.81 million or less than 1% in deposits, an increase of $4.37 million or 4.58% in operating lease right-of-use liabilities, and an increase of $2.15 million or 6.12% in the allowance for lending-related commitments. Partially offsetting these increases in liabilities was a $31.58 million or 15.90% decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and an $8.54 million or 3.52% decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities. Shareholders’ equity was relatively flat from year-end 2025, increasing $14.55 million or less than 1%.
The following discussion explains in more detail the changes in financial condition by major category.
### Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2026 decreased $460.95 million or 18.13% from year-end 2025.

### Securities
Total investment securities at June 30, 2026 increased $258.63 million or 7.61%. Securities available for sale increased $260.30 million or 8.51%. This change in securities available for sale reflects $807.30 million in sales, maturities and calls of securities, $1.07 billion in purchases, and a decrease of $6.56 million in market value. Equity securities were $30.11 million at June 30, 2026, a decrease of $4.65 million or 13.39% due mainly to the sale of equity securities totaling $27.82 million partially offset by the purchase of $18.35 million in equity securities during the first six months of 2026. Other investment securities were flat, increasing $2.98 million or less than 1% from year-end 2025.

#####
During the second quarter of 2026, United did not recognize any credit losses on its available for sale investment securities. Management does not believe that any individual security with an unrealized loss as of June 30, 2026 is impaired. United believes the decline in value resulted from changes in market interest rates, credit spreads and liquidity, not a deterioration of credit. Based on a review of each of the securities in the available for sale investment portfolio, management concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that it would be able to realize the cost basis investment and appropriate interest payments on such securities. United has the intent and the ability to hold these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature. As of June 30, 2026, there was no allowance for credit losses related to the Company’s available for sale securities. However, United acknowledges that any securities in an unrealized loss position may be sold in future periods in response to significant, unanticipated changes in asset/liability management decisions, unanticipated future market movements or business plan changes.
Further information regarding the amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities, including remaining maturities as well as a more detailed discussion of management’s impairment analysis, is presented in Note 2 to the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Time deposits under $100,000 increased $1.93 million or less than 1% from year-end 2025.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 increased $10.78 million, or 3.92% from the second quarter of 2025. The increase of $10.78 million in net interest income occurred because total interest income decreased $3.00 million while total interest expense decreased $13.77 million from the second quarter of 2025. Net interest income for the first half of 2026 increased $33.24 million or 6.22% from the first half of 2025. The increase of $33.24 million in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased $9.28 million while total interest expense decreased $23.95 million from the first half of 2025. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was relatively flat from the first quarter of 2026, increasing $2.80 million, or less than 1%. The slight increase of $2.80 million in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased $2.27 million while total interest expense decreased $529 thousand from the first quarter of 2026.
The provision for credit losses was $4.96 million and $12.74 million for the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, while the provision for credit losses was $5.89 million and $34.99 million for the second quarter and first half of 2025. The provision for credit losses was $7.78 million for the first quarter of 2026. The decrease in the provision for credit losses for the first half of 2026 was mainly due to the previously mentioned $18.73 million of provision recorded on purchased non-PCD loans from Piedmont.
For the second quarter of 2026, noninterest income increased $7.05 million or 22.40% from the second quarter of 2025 while noninterest income for the first six months of 2026 increased $11.56 million or 18.94% from the first six months of 2025. These increases were primarily due to increased fees from brokerage services, net gains on investment securities and other noninterest income. Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2026 increased $4.44 million, or 13.04%, from the first quarter of 2026.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2026 increased $6.70 million or 4.52% from the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to increases in employee compensation and employee benefits. For the first six months of 2026, noninterest expense increased $5.94 million or 1.97% from the first six months of 2025 driven by increases in employee compensation, employee benefits, and equipment expense partially reduced by merger-related expenses from the Piedmont acquisition in the first six months of 2025. Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2026 increased $1.90 million, or 1.24%, from the first quarter of 2026.
Income taxes for the second quarter of 2026 were $32.77 million as compared to $31.37 million for the second quarter of 2025. For the first six months of 2026 and 2025 income tax expense was $64.55 million and $53.99 million, respectively. These increases in income tax expense for the 2026 time periods above were primarily due to higher earnings partially offset by lower effective tax rates. Income tax expense increased $977 thousand from the first quarter of 2026 due mainly to increased earnings partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. For the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, United’s effective tax rate was 19.96% and 20.62%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2026 and 2025 was 20.16% and 20.85%, respectively. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, United’s effective tax rate was 20.38%.
The following discussion explains in more detail the consolidated results of operations by major category.
### Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the primary component of United’s earnings. It is the difference between interest income from earning assets and interest expense incurred to fund these assets. Net interest income is impacted by changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in market interest rates. Such changes, and their impact on net interest income in 2026 and 2025, are presented below.
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $285.31 million, which was an increase of $10.78 million or 3.92% from the second quarter of 2025. The $10.78 million increase in net interest income occurred because total interest income decreased $3.00 million while total interest expense decreased $13.77 million from the second quarter of 2025. Net interest income for the first half of 2026 was $567.83 million, which was an increase of $33.24 million or 6.22% from the first half of 2025. The $33.24 million increase in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased $9.28 million while total interest expense decreased $23.95 million from the first half of 2025. On a linked-quarter basis, net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was relatively flat from the first quarter of 2026, increasing $2.80 million or less than 1%. The $2.80 million slight increase in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased $2.27 million while total interest expense decreased $529 thousand from the first quarter of 2026.

For the purpose of this remaining discussion, net interest income is presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis to provide a comparison among all types of interest earning assets. The fully 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.
Fully tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $286.10 million, an increase of $10.77 million or 3.91% from the second quarter of 2025. The increase in fully tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily due to a lower rate paid on average interest-bearing deposits and an increase in average net loans partially offset by a lower yield on average net loans and an increase in average interest-bearing deposits. The rate paid on average interest-bearing deposits decreased 38 basis points from the second quarter of 2025. Average net loans increased $970.63 million, or 4.10%, from the second quarter of 2025. The yield on average net loans decreased 27 basis points from the second quarter of 2025. Acquired loan accretion income decreased $6.76 million from the second quarter of 2025. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $900.48 million, or 4.59%, from the second quarter of 2025. The net interest margin was 3.81% for both the second quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025.
Fully tax-equivalent net interest income for the first half of 2026 increased $33.23 million, or 6.20%, from the first half of 2025. The increase in fully tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average net loans and a lower rate paid on average interest-bearing deposits. These increases to fully tax-equivalent net interest income were partially offset by a lower yield on average net loans and an increase in average interest-bearing deposits. Average net loans increased $1.18 billion, or 5.02%, from the first half of 2025. The rate paid on average interest-bearing deposits decreased 37 basis points from the first half of 2025. The yield on average net loans decreased 17 basis points from the first half of 2025. Acquired loan accretion income decreased $5.27 million from the first half of 2025. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $1.07 billion, or 5.51%, from the first half of 2025. The net interest margin was 3.80% and 3.75% for the first half of 2026 and the first half of 2025, respectively.
On a linked-quarter basis, fully tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was relatively flat from the first quarter of 2026, increasing $2.80 million, or less than 1%. The net interest margin was 3.81% and 3.80% for second quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2026, respectively. The interest spread for the second quarter of 2026 increased a basis point to 3.07% from the first quarter of 2026 due to a 3 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds partially offset by a 2 basis point decrease in the yield on average earning assets. The decrease in the average cost of funds was primarily due to a 2 basis point decrease in the rate paid on average interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in the yield on average earning assets was driven by a 6 basis point decrease in the yield on average net loans partially offset by a 19 basis point increase in the yield on average investment securities. Acquired loan accretion income was $5.00 million for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $2.47 million from the first quarter of 2026 which contributed to an approximately 4 basis point decrease in the interest spread and in the net interest margin. The increase in the yield on average investment securities reflects United’s strategic purchases of higher yielding investment securities throughout 2026.
United’s fully tax-equivalent net interest income also includes the impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments. The following table provides the discount/premium and net accretion impact to fully tax-equivalent net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2026 and the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025:

The provision for credit losses was $4.96 million and $12.74 million for the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, as compared to a provision for credit losses of $5.89 million and $34.99 million for the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively. On a linked-quarter basis, the provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2026 was $7.78 million. The provision for credit losses for the first quarter and first half of 2025 included provision expense of $18.73 million recorded for purchased non-PCD loans from Piedmont. United’s provision for credit losses relates to its portfolio of loans and leases, available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the provision for loan and lease losses was $4.96 million as compared to a provision for loan and lease losses of $5.89 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The provision for loan and lease losses for the first six months of 2026 was $12.74 million as compared to a provision for loan and lease losses of $34.99 million for the first six months of 2025. The higher amount of provision expense for the first half of 2025 was mainly due to the previously mentioned provision expense of $18.73 million recorded for purchased non-PCD loans from Piedmont. Net charge-offs for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 were $5.06 million and $10.75 million, respectively, as compared to net charge-offs of $8.35 million and $16.39 million, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of 2025. The lower amount of net charge-offs for 2026 as compared to 2025 was primarily due to decreased charge-offs within the consumer and other commercial real estate nonowner-occupied loan segments. On a linked-quarter basis, the provision for loan and lease losses was $7.78 million for the first quarter of 2026. Net charge-offs were $5.70 million for the first quarter of 2026.
Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans and leases, net of unearned income for the second quarter and first half of 2026 was 0.08% and 0.09%, respectively, as compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.14% for both time periods in 2025. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans and leases, net of unearned income for the first quarter of 2026 was 0.09%.
The following table shows a summary of United’s nonperforming assets including nonperforming loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”) at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| (In thousands) | June 302026 | December 312025 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Nonaccrual loans | $99,301 | $96,492 |
| Loans past due 90 days or more | 11,346 | 4,974 |
| Total nonperforming loans | $110,647 | $101,466 |
| Other real estate owned | 10,212 | 8,857 |
| Total nonperforming assets | $120,859 | $110,323 |
United maintains an allowance for loan and lease losses and a reserve for lending-related commitments. The combined allowance for loan losses and reserve for lending-related commitments is considered the allowance for credit losses. At June 30, 2026, the allowance for credit losses was $336.73 million as compared to $332.59 million at December 31, 2025.
At June 30, 2026, the allowance for loan and lease losses was $299.50 million as compared to $297.52 million at December 31, 2025. The allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2026 saw the largest increase in the reserves for the commercial real estate nonowner-occupied loan segment from year-end 2025 due to increased outstanding loan balances and an increase in the allowance for individually evaluated loans. The largest decrease in reserves at June 30, 2026 was for the real estate construction and development loan segment due to an improvement in the historical loss rate and decreased outstanding loan balances. As a percentage of loans and leases, net of unearned income, the allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.20% for both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans and leases or coverage ratio was 270.68% and 293.22% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The slight decrease in this ratio was due mainly to a larger increase in nonperforming loans as compared to the increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses.

United continues to evaluate risks which may impact its loan and lease portfolios. Reserves are initially determined based on losses identified from the PD/LGD and Cohort models which utilize the Company’s historical information. Then, any qualitative adjustments are applied to account for the Company’s view of the future and other factors. If current conditions underlying any qualitative adjustment factor were deemed to be materially different than historical conditions, an adjustment was made for that factor.
The second quarter of 2026 qualitative adjustments include analyses of the following:
-
Current conditions – United considered the impact of changes in economic and business conditions; collateral values for dependent loans; past due, nonaccrual and adversely classified loans and leases; and concentrations of credit.
-
Reasonable and supportable forecasts – The forecast is determined on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis by relating the correlation of real GDP, the unemployment rate, commercial real estate price index, mortgage rate, house price index and real disposable personal income to loss rates to forecasts of those variables. The reasonable and supportable forecast selection is subjective in nature and requires more judgment compared to the other components of the allowance. Assumptions for the economic variables were the following:
-
The forecast for real GDP declined slightly in the second quarter, from a projection of 2.40% for 2026 as of mid-March 2026 to 2.20% for 2026 as of mid-June with a projection of 2.30% for 2027. The unemployment rate forecast improved slightly in the second quarter with a projection of 4.40% for 2026 as of mid-March 2026 to 4.30% as of mid-June 2026 with projection of 4.30% for 2027. The forecast for the house price index declined in the second quarter with a projection of 0.67% for 2026 and 0.70% for 2027 compared to 1.82% and 2.24% for 2026 and 2027, respectively, in the first quarter. Similarly, the mortgage rate increased to 6.32% for 2026 and 2027 during the second quarter compared to 6.13% in 2026 and 6.22% in 2027 in the first quarter. The real disposable personal income forecast declined for 2026 from 2.03% in the first quarter to 0.87% in the second quarter but improved for 2027 from 2.13% in the first quarter to 2.40% in the second quarter. The outlook for the commercial real estate price index experienced minimal change in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2026.
-
Reversion to historical loss data occurs via a straight-line method during the year following the one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period.
United’s review of the allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2026 produced increased reserves in two of the four loan categories as compared to December 31, 2025. The allowance related to the commercial, financial & agricultural loan pool, consisting of the owner and nonowner-occupied commercial real estate and other commercial loan segments, increased $8.02 million due to increased outstanding loan balances. The consumer loan segment reserve increased $988 thousand primarily due to an increase in the quarterly maximum loss experience utilized within the reasonable and supportable forecast adjustment as well as increased outstanding loan balances. The real estate construction and development loan segment reserve decreased $6.65 million due to decreased outstanding loan balances as well as improvement in the reasonable and supportable adjustment. The residential real estate loan segment reserve decreased $377 thousand due to an improvement in historical loss rates.
An allowance is established for estimated lifetime losses for loans that are individually assessed. Nonperforming commercial loans and leases are regularly reviewed to identify expected credit losses. A loan is individually assessed for expected credit losses when the loan does not share similar characteristics with other loans in the portfolio. Measuring expected credit losses of a loan requires judgment and estimates, and the eventual outcomes may differ from those estimates. Expected credit losses are measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows from the loan discounted at the loan’s effective rate or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When the selected measure is less than the recorded investment in the loan, an expected credit loss has occurred. The allowance for loans and leases that were individually assessed was $17.68 million at June 30, 2026 and $8.04 million at December 31, 2025. In comparison to year-end, this element of the allowance increased $9.64 million due to collateral weaknesses identified in several relationships which necessitated individually assessed reserves and increases to reserves previously identified.

#####
Management believes that the allowance for credit losses of $336.73 million at June 30, 2026 is appropriate to provide for expected losses on existing loans and lending-related commitments based on information currently available. United’s loan administration policies are focused on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio in terms of loan approval and credit quality. The commercial loan portfolio is monitored for possible concentrations of credit in one or more industries. Management has lending limits as a percentage of capital per type of credit concentration in an effort to ensure adequate diversification within the portfolio. Most of United’s commercial loans are secured by real estate located in United’s footprint. It is the opinion of management that these commercial loans do not pose any unusual risks and that adequate consideration has been given to these loans in establishing the allowance for credit losses.
The provision for credit losses related to held to maturity securities for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025 was immaterial. The allowance for credit losses related to held to maturity securities was $14 thousand and $16 thousand, respectively, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. There was no provision for credit losses recorded on available for sale investment securities for the first half of 2026 and 2025 and no allowance for credit losses on available for sale investment securities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Management is not aware of any potential problem loans or leases, trends or uncertainties, which it reasonably expects, will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources which have not been disclosed. Additionally, management has disclosed all known material credits, which cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment schedules.
### Other Income
Other income consists of all revenues, which are not included in interest and fee income related to earning assets. Noninterest income has been and will continue to be an important factor for improving United’s profitability. Recognizing the importance, management continues to evaluate areas where noninterest income can be enhanced.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $38.51 million, an increase of $7.05 million or 22.40% from the second quarter of 2025. Noninterest income for the first half of 2026 was $72.57 million, an increase of $11.56 million or 18.94% from the first half of 2025. These increases were driven primarily by increases in fees from brokerage services and net gains on investment securities.
Fees from brokerage services for the second quarter and first half of 2026 increased $1.90 million or 39.12% and $3.66 million or 34.83%, respectively, from the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to higher volume driven by growth in the business.
Net gains on investment securities were $2.79 million for the second quarter of 2026 as compared to net gains on investment securities of $425 thousand for the second quarter of 2025. The net gains on investment securities for the second quarter of 2026 included a gain of $5.86 million as a result of the sale of an unaffiliated company in which United held an investment, a $5.66 million gain from a VISA share exchange, and a $1.00 million unrealized fair value net gain on equity securities. Partially offsetting these gains on investment securities was a loss of $9.73 million on the sale of available for sale investment securities. For the first six months of 2026, net gains on investment securities were $5.05 million as compared to net gains on investment securities of $946 thousand for the first six months of 2025. Net gains on investment securities for the first half of 2026 included the aforementioned gain as a result of the sale of an unaffiliated company in which United held an investment, the VISA share exchange gain and unrealized fair value net gain on equity securities as well as a net gain of $2.29 million on the sale of equity securities in the first quarter of 2026. Partially offsetting these gains on investment securities was the aforementioned loss on the sale of available for sale investment securities.
Other noninterest income for the second quarter and first half of 2026 increased $1.95 million or 92.72% and $2.67 million or 98.05% from the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively. These increases in other noninterest income were primarily due to higher market values of underlying investments associated with postretirement benefit plans, which was largely offset by an increase in postretirement benefit costs recorded in noninterest expense as described in the “Other Expenses” section of this MD&A.

#####
Income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) for the first half of 2026 decreased $860 thousand or 12.31% from the first half of 2025 due primarily to death proceeds of $1.07 million in the first half of 2025 partially offset by income on BOLI policies added from the Piedmont acquisition and an increase in the cash surrender value of insurance policies.
On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest income for the second quarter of 2026 increased of $4.44 million, or 13.04%, from the first quarter of 2026 driven by a $2.71 million increase in other noninterest income and smaller increases in several other categories of noninterest income. The increase in other noninterest income was primarily due to higher market values of underlying investments associated with postretirement benefit plans, which was largely offset by an increase in postretirement benefit costs recorded in noninterest expense.
### Other Expenses
Just as management continues to evaluate areas where noninterest income can be enhanced, it strives to improve the efficiency of its operations to reduce costs. Other expenses include all items of expense other than interest expense, the provision for credit losses, and income taxes. Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $154.72 million, which was an increase of $6.70 million or 4.52% from the second quarter of 2025. For the first half of 2026, noninterest expense was $307.53 million, which was an increase of $5.94 million or 1.97% from the first half of 2025. The second quarter and first six months of 2025 included $1.32 million and $12.63 million, respectively, of merger-related expenses from the Piedmont acquisition.
Employee compensation for the second quarter and first half of 2026 increased $3.62 million or 5.75% and $6.25 million or 5.05%, respectively, from the second quarter and first half of 2025. The increase in employee compensation was primarily due to higher salaries, brokerage commissions, employee incentives, and stock-based compensation costs. Included in employee compensation for the second quarter and first half of 2025 were $310 thousand and $1.46 million, respectively, in merger-related expenses.
Employee benefits expense for the second quarter of 2026 increased $2.86 million or 21.30% from the second quarter of 2025. This increase in employee benefits was primarily due to higher postretirement benefit costs. Employee benefits expense for the first half of 2026 increased $5.55 million or 20.77%, from the first half of 2025. This increase in employee benefits was primarily due to higher post-retirement benefit and Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) costs.
Net occupancy for the first half of 2026 increased $995 thousand or 3.96% from the first half of 2025. This increase was due mainly to increased building maintenance, real property taxes and utilities costs.
Equipment expense for the second quarter and first half of 2026 increased $884 thousand or 10.34% and $1.04 million or 6.08%, respectively, from the second quarter and first half of 2025. These increases were due to higher equipment maintenance expense.
Data processing expense for the second quarter and first half of 2026 decreased $804 thousand or 10.11% and $2.26 million or 13.76%, respectively, from the second quarter and first half of 2025. The decrease in data processing was primarily due to technology contract renegotiations.
Other expense for the second quarter of 2026 decreased $812 thousand or 2.18% from the second quarter of 2025. Within other expense for the second quarter of 2026, consulting fees declined $1.98 million and merger-related expenses decreased $961 thousand from the second quarter of 2025. These decreases within other expense were partially offset by increases of $1.32 million in the amortization of investment tax credits and $923 thousand in the expense for the reserve for unfunded commitments. Other expense for the first half of 2026 decreased $6.24 million or 7.64% from the first half of 2025. Within other expense, merger-related expenses decreased $6.96 million and the amortization of core deposit intangibles declined $1.01 million. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in the expense for the reserve for unfunded commitments of $1.24 million due to an increase in outstanding loan commitments. The expense for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments for the first half of 2025 included $4.06 million in merger-related expense.

#####
On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2026 increased $1.90 million or 1.24% from the first quarter of 2026 due primarily to an increase in employee compensation of $3.06 million. The increase in employee compensation was primarily due to the timing of annual salary increases, stock-based compensation costs, and employee incentives. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease of $2.57 million in other noninterest expense. Within other expense, the expense for the reserve for unfunded commitments decreased $1.80 million which reflected a smaller increase in outstanding loan commitments during the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the increase during the first quarter of 2026.
### Income Taxes
For the second quarter of 2026, income tax expense was $32.77 million as compared to $31.37 million in the second quarter of 2025. For the first half of 2026, income tax expense was $64.55 million as compared to $53.99 million in the first half of 2025. On a linked-quarter basis, income tax expense increased $977 thousand or 3.07% from the first quarter of 2026. All of these increases in income tax expense were primarily due to higher earnings partially offset by lower effective tax rates. United’s effective tax rate was 19.96% for the second quarter of 2026, 20.62% for the second quarter of 2025 and 20.38% for the first quarter of 2026. For the first half of 2026 and 2025, United’s effective tax rate was 20.16% and 20.85%, respectively.
### Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the opinion of management, United maintains liquidity that is sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and the credit needs of its customers. Like all banks, United depends upon its ability to renew maturing deposits and other liabilities on a daily basis and to acquire new funds in a variety of markets. A significant source of funds available to United is “core deposits”. Core deposits include certain demand deposits, statement and special savings and NOW accounts. These deposits are relatively stable, and they are the lowest cost source of funds available to United. Short-term borrowings have also been a significant source of funds. These include federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase as well as advances from the FHLB. Repurchase agreements represent funds which are obtained as the result of a competitive bidding process.
Liquid assets are cash and those items readily convertible to cash. All banks must maintain sufficient balances of cash and near-cash items to meet the day-to-day demands of customers and United’s cash needs. Other than cash and due from banks, the available for sale securities portfolio and maturing loans are the primary sources of liquidity.
The goal of liquidity management is to ensure the ability to access funding which enables United to efficiently satisfy the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers and meet United’s cash needs. Liquidity is managed by monitoring funds’ availability from a number of primary sources. Substantial funding is available from cash and cash equivalents, unused short-term borrowing and a geographically dispersed network of branches providing access to a diversified and substantial retail deposit market.
Short-term needs can be met through a wide array of outside sources such as correspondent and downstream correspondent federal funds and utilization of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Other sources of liquidity available to United to provide long-term as well as short-term funding alternatives, in addition to FHLB advances, are long-term certificates of deposit, lines of credit, borrowings that are secured by bank premises or stock of United’s subsidiaries and issuances of trust preferred securities. In the normal course of business, United through its Asset Liability Committee evaluates these as well as other alternative funding strategies that may be utilized to meet short-term and long-term funding needs.
During the first half of 2026, United decreased its interest-bearing deposit balance at the FRB by $517.17 million to $1.72 billion. The change in the balance at the FRB was mostly the result of growth in loans of $286.87 million, net purchases of $267.87 million in investment securities and a net repayment of $31.58 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase partially offset by a growth in total deposits of $109.82 million.

#####
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash of $266.02 million was provided by operating activities due mainly to net income of $255.58 million. Net cash of $564.99 million was used in investing activities which was primarily due to the aforementioned loan growth of $286.87 million and net purchases of investment securities of $267.87 million. During the first six months of 2026, net cash of $161.97 million was used in financing activities due primarily to net acquisition of $136.25 million in treasury stock, cash dividends paid of $106.69 million and the net repayment of securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $31.58 million partially offset by growth in deposits of $109.82 million. The net effect of the cash flow activities was a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $460.95 million for the first half of 2026.
At June 30, 2026, United had an unused borrowing amount at the FHLB of approximately $9.25 billion subject to delivery of collateral after certain trigger points and $5.03 billion without the delivery of additional collateral. United has various unused lines of credit available from certain of its correspondent banks in the aggregate amount of $280 million and a $20 million unsecured, revolving line of credit with an unrelated financial institution to provide for general liquidity needs, all of which was available at June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026, United’s borrowing capacity for the FRB Discount Window was $4.42 billion. United did not have any borrowings from the FRB’s Discount Window during the first half of 2026.
United anticipates it can meet its obligations over the next 12 months and has no material commitments for capital expenditures. United also has lines of credit available. See Notes 8 and 9 to the accompanying unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more details regarding the amounts available to United under lines of credit.
The Asset Liability Committee monitors liquidity to ascertain that a liquidity position within certain prescribed parameters is maintained. No changes are anticipated in the policies of United’s Asset Liability Committee.
United’s capital position is financially sound. United seeks to maintain a proper relationship between capital and total assets to support growth and sustain earnings. United has historically generated attractive returns on shareholders’ equity. United is well-capitalized based upon regulatory guidelines. United’s risk-based capital ratio is 15.57% at June 30, 2026 while its Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratios are 13.30%, 13.30% and 11.29%, respectively. 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%.
Total shareholders’ equity was $5.51 billion at June 30, 2026, which was relatively flat from December 31, 2025, increasing $14.55 million or less than 1%. This slight increase was primarily due to an increase of $149.80 million in retained earnings as a result of net earnings (net income less dividends declared) during the first half of 2026 partially offset by an increase of $137.64 million in treasury stock. During the first half of 2026, United repurchased 3,241,721 shares of its common stock at an average price of $41.78 per share.
United’s shareholders’ equity to assets ratio was 16.33% at June 30, 2026 as compared to 16.33% at December 31, 2025. The primary capital ratio, capital and reserves to total assets and reserves, was 17.15% at both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. United’s average equity to average asset ratio was 16.38% for the second quarter of 2026 as compared to 16.42% the second quarter of 2025. United’s average equity to average asset ratio was 16.42% for both the first half of 2026 and the first half of 2025. All of these financial measurements reflect a financially sound position.
During the second quarter of 2026, United’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.38 per share. Cash dividends were $0.76 per common share for the first six months of 2026. Total cash dividends declared were $52.61 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $105.78 million for the first six months of 2026 as compared to $52.75 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $106.08 million for the first six months of 2025, respectively.
## Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The objective of United’s Asset Liability Management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within United’s policy guidelines. This objective is accomplished through the management of balance sheet liquidity and interest rate risk exposures due to changes in economic conditions, interest rate levels and customer preferences.

Interest Rate Risk
Management considers interest rate risk to be United’s most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in United’s net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. United’s earnings are largely dependent on the effective management of interest rate risk.
Management of interest rate risk focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income within Board-approved policy limits. United’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which includes senior management representatives and reports to the Board of Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk to maintain an acceptable level of change to net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Policy established for interest rate risk is stated in terms of the change in net interest income over a one-year and two-year horizon given an immediate and sustained increase or decrease in interest rates. The current limits approved by the Board of Directors are structured on a staged basis with each stage requiring specific actions.
United employs a variety of measurement techniques to identify and manage its exposure to changing interest rates. One such technique utilizes an earnings simulation model to analyze the sensitivity of net interest income to movements in interest rates. The model is based on actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for on and off-balance sheet instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates on the prepayment rate of certain assets and liabilities. The model also includes executive management projections for activity levels in product lines offered by United. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model. Rate scenarios could involve parallel or nonparallel shifts in the yield curve, depending on historical, current, and expected conditions, as well as the need to capture any material effects of explicit or embedded options. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management’s strategies.
Interest sensitive assets and liabilities are defined as those assets or liabilities that mature or are repriced within a designated time frame. The principal function of managing interest rate risk is to maintain an appropriate relationship between those assets and liabilities that are sensitive to changing market interest rates. The difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities for specified periods of time is known as the “GAP.” Earnings-simulation analysis captures not only the potential of these interest sensitive assets and liabilities to mature or reprice, but also the probability that they will do so. Moreover, earnings-simulation analysis considers the relative sensitivities of these balance sheet items and projects their behavior over an extended period of time. United closely monitors the sensitivity of its assets and liabilities on an on-going basis and projects the effect of various interest rate changes on its net interest margin.
The following table shows United’s estimated earnings sensitivity profile as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| Change in Interest Rates (basis points) | Percentage Change in Net Interest Income / June 30, 2026 | Percentage Change in Net Interest Income / December 31, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| +200 | 3.98% | 3.85% |
| +100 | 2.34% | 2.31% |
| -100 | (0.01%) | 0.20% |
| -200 | 1.49% | 1.58% |
At June 30, 2026, given an immediate, sustained 100 basis point upward shock to the yield curve used in the simulation model, net interest income for United is estimated to increase by 2.34% over one year as compared to an increase by 2.31% at December 31, 2025. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained upward shock in the yield curve would increase net interest income by an estimated 3.98% over one year as of June 30, 2026, as compared to an increase of 3.85% as of December 31, 2025. A 100 basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 0.01% over one year as of June 30, 2026 as compared to an increase of 0.20% over one year as of December 31, 2025. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would increase net interest income by an estimated 1.49% over one year as of June 30, 2026 as compared to an increase of 1.58% over one year as of December 31, 2025.

In addition to the one year earnings sensitivity analysis, a two-year analysis is also performed. Compared to the one year analysis, United is projected to show improved performance in year two within the upward rate shock scenarios. Given an immediate, sustained 100 basis point upward shock to the yield curve used in the simulation model, net interest income for United is estimated to increase by 4.21% in year two as of June 30, 2026. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained upward shock in the yield curve would increase net interest income by an estimated 7.40% in year two as of June 30, 2026. A 100 basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 2.59% in year two as of June 30, 2026. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 4.50% in year two as of June 30, 2026.
While it is unlikely market rates would immediately move 100 or 200 basis points upward or downward on a sustained basis, this is another tool used by management and the Board to gauge interest rate risk. All of these estimated changes in net interest income are and were within the policy guidelines established by the Board.
To further aid in interest rate management, United’s subsidiary bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). The use of FHLB advances provides United with a low risk means of matching maturities of earning assets and interest-bearing funds to achieve a desired interest rate spread over the life of the earning assets. In addition, United uses credit with large regional banks and trust preferred securities to provide funding.
As part of its interest rate risk management strategy, United may use derivative instruments to protect against adverse price or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets or liabilities and on future cash flows. These derivatives commonly consist of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, collars, futures, forward contracts, written and purchased options. Interest rate swaps obligate two parties to exchange one or more payments generally calculated with reference to a fixed or variable rate of interest applied to the notional amount. United accounts for its derivative activities in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815.
### Extension Risk
A key feature of most mortgage loans is the ability of the borrower to repay principal earlier than scheduled. This is called a prepayment. Prepayments arise primarily due to sale of the underlying property, refinancing, or foreclosure. In general, declining interest rates tend to increase prepayments, and rising interest rates tend to slow prepayments. Like other fixed-income securities, when interest rates rise, the value of mortgage-related securities generally declines. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of mortgage-related securities and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. If interest rates rise, United’s holdings of mortgage-related securities may experience reduced returns if the borrowers of the underlying mortgages pay off their mortgages later than anticipated. This is generally referred to as extension risk.
At June 30, 2026, United’s mortgage-related securities portfolio had an amortized cost of $2.3 billion, of which approximately $1.5 billion or 66% were fixed rate collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). These fixed rate CMOs consisted primarily of planned amortization class (“PACs”), sequential-pay and accretion directed (“VADMs”) bonds having an average life of approximately 4.6 years and a weighted average yield of 3.81%, under current projected prepayment assumptions. These securities are expected to have moderate extension risk in a rising rate environment. Current models show that given an immediate, sustained upward shock of 300 basis points, the average life of these securities would only extend to 6.2 years. The projected price decline of the fixed rate CMO portfolio in rates up 300 basis points would be 14.5%, or less than the price decline of a 7-year treasury note. By comparison, the price decline of a 30-year 5.5% current coupon mortgage-backed security (“MBS”) in rates higher by 300 basis points would be approximately 19.6%.
United had approximately $251.4 million in fixed rate commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) with a projected yield of 2.17% and a projected average life of 3.6 years on June 30, 2026. This portfolio consisted primarily of Freddie Mac Multifamily K securities and Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS”) securities with a weighted average maturity (“WAM”) of 8 years.

#####
United had approximately $18.1 million in 15-year mortgage backed securities with a projected yield of 3.94% and a projected average life of 3.7 years as of June 30, 2026. This portfolio consisted of seasoned 15-year mortgage paper with a weighted average loan age (“WALA”) of 6.3 years and a WAM of 8.9 years.
United had approximately $281.2 million in 20-year mortgage backed securities with a projected yield of 2.14% and a projected average life of 5.7 years on June 30, 2026. This portfolio consisted of seasoned 20-year mortgage paper with a WALA of 5.3 years and a WAM of 14.4 years.
United had approximately $199.7 million in 30-year mortgage backed securities with a projected yield of 3.87% and a projected average life of 7.4 years on June 30, 2026. This portfolio consisted of seasoned 30-year mortgage paper with a WALA of 6.7 years and a WAM of 21.9 years.
The remaining 1% of the mortgage related securities portfolio on June 30, 2026, included floating rate CMO, CMBS and mortgage backed securities.
## Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
### Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2026, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of United’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of United’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, United’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that United’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026 were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period required by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
### Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
United’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that United’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and fraud. While United’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.
### Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in United’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, or in other factors that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect United’s internal control over financial reporting.
