    ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 25 10 2023 16:15:01   America/New_York

    SOUDERTON, Pa., Oct. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Univest Financial Corporation (“Univest” or the "Corporation") (NASDAQ: UVSP), parent company of Univest Bank and Trust Co. (the "Bank") and its insurance, investments and equipment financing subsidiaries, announced net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $17.0 million, or $0.58 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $20.8 million, or $0.71 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

    Loans
    Gross loans and leases increased $112.7 million, or 1.7% (7.0% annualized), from June 30, 2023, primarily due to increases in commercial, commercial real estate, construction and residential mortgage loans. Gross loans and leases increased $451.7 million, or 7.4% (9.8% annualized), from December 31, 2022, primarily due to increases in commercial real estate, construction, residential mortgage loans and lease financings.

    Deposits and Liquidity
    Total deposits increased $451.8 million, or 7.5% (30.2% annualized), from June 30, 2023 and $525.6 million, or 8.9% (11.9% annualized), from December 31, 2022. The increase from June 30, 2023 was primarily due to seasonal increases in public funds partially offset by decreases in commercial and consumer deposits. The increase from December 31, 2022 was primarily due to increases in brokered deposits and seasonal public funds deposits partially offset by decreases in commercial and consumer deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 22.2% of total deposits at September 30, 2023, down from 26.4% at June 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, unprotected deposits, which excludes insured accounts, internal accounts, and collateralized trust accounts, represented 20.8% of total deposits, down from 23.3% at June 30, 2023.

    As of September 30, 2023, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents totaling $290.3 million. The Corporation and its subsidiaries had committed borrowing capacity of $3.3 billion at September 30, 2023, of which $1.7 billion was available. The Corporation and its subsidiaries also maintained unused uncommitted funding sources from correspondent banks of $369.0 million at September 30, 2023. Future availability under these uncommitted funding sources is subject to the prerogatives of the granting banks and may be withdrawn at will.

    Net Interest Income and Margin
    Net interest income of $53.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $740 thousand, or 1.4%, from the three months ended June 30, 2023, and $4.7 million, or 8.0%, from the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net interest income for both comparison periods was due to increases in the cost of funds and the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase in the yield and average balance of interest-earning assets.

    Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.96% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 3.14% for the second quarter of 2023 and 3.67% for the third quarter of 2022. Excess liquidity reduced net interest margin by approximately four basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and approximately one basis point for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Excess liquidity had no impact on the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

    Noninterest Income
    Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $18.7 million, an increase of $732 thousand, or 4.1%, compared to the third quarter of 2022.

    Investment advisory commission and fee income increased $644 thousand, or 15.3%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to new customer relationships and appreciation of assets under management, as a majority of investment advisory fees are billed based on the prior quarter-end assets under management balance. Insurance commission and fee income increased $410 thousand, or 9.2%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to increased revenue from commercial lines. Net gain on mortgage banking activities increased $399 thousand, or 48.8%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, due to increased volume.

    Bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") decreased $347 thousand, or 30.1%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a death benefit claim of $446 thousand received in the third quarter of 2022. Other income decreased $639 thousand, or 73.7%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a $412 thousand decrease in the gain on sale of Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans.

    Noninterest Expense
    Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $49.0 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 5.0%, compared to the third quarter of 2022.

    Salaries, benefits and commissions increased $578 thousand, or 2.0%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. This increase reflects our expansion into Maryland and Western Pennsylvania and annual merit increases, increases in medical claims expense and decreases in compensation capitalized driven by lower loan production, offset by decreases due to the staff reduction that was announced during the second quarter and a reduction in incentive compensation due to decreased profitability.

    Deposit insurance premiums increased $596 thousand, or 90.0%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by an increased industry-wide assessment rate and an increase in our assessment base.

    Other expense increased $1.5 million, or 26.7%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to increases in retirement plan costs of $527 thousand. Other increases included $324 thousand of loan processing and workout fees. Federal Home Loan Bank letter of credit fees increased by $138 thousand due to increased public fund deposits and related collateral costs.

    Professional fees decreased $758 thousand, or 30.1%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to consultant fees incurred in the third quarter of 2022 related to our digital transformation initiative.

    Tax Provision
    The effective income tax rate was 20.0% for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 reflected the benefits of tax-exempt income from investments in municipal securities and loans and leases.

    Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
    Nonperforming assets were $40.1 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $34.5 million at June 30, 2023 and $33.0 million at September 30, 2022. On October 16, 2023, a $5.8 million loan was sold at par. This loan was classified as nonperforming at September 30, 2023.

    Net loan and lease charge-offs were $969 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $512 thousand and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

    The provision for credit losses was $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $3.4 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment was 1.28% at September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

    Dividend
    On October 25, 2023, Univest declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share to be paid on November 22, 2023 to shareholders of record as of November 8, 2023.
