By PR Newswire | July 21, 2025, 8:10 AM

OAKLAND, Md., July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- First United Corporation (the "Corporation", "we", "us", and "our") (NASDAQ: FUNC), a bank holding company and the parent company of First United Bank & Trust (the "Bank"), today announced financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025.  Consolidated net income was $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, or $0.92 per diluted common share, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.75 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2024 and $5.8 million, or $0.89 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2025.  Net income for the first six months of 2025 was $11.8 million, or $1.81 per diluted common share, compared to $8.6 million, or $1.31 per diluted common share, for the same period of 2024.  Annualized Return on Average Assets and Return on Average Equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 were 1.20% and 12.78%, respectively.

According to Carissa Rodeheaver, Chairman, President and CEO, "The second quarter remained strong, driven by our increasing net interest margin. We were successful in controlling funding costs and the higher-than-expected interest rate environment led to favorable interest income in our loan portfolio.  Loan production increased during the quarter and pipelines remain strong. We are excited to have expanded our Morgantown team during the first half of this year and are optimistic about the growth potential of that market.   We will continue to add talent when the opportunity presents itself and to focus on technologies that will improve efficiencies long-term and to enhance our customer experience."

Second Quarter Financial Highlights:

  • Net interest margin, on a non-GAAP, fully tax equivalent ("FTE") basis, was 3.65% for the second quarter of 2025, reflecting increased loan yields and stable funding costs.
  • Strong loan production during the quarter, with $65.1 million in commercial loan originations and $19.2 million in residential mortgage originations.
  • Provision expense was $0.9 million in the second quarter driven by growth in both the loan portfolio and unfunded commitments and uncertainty of current economic conditions, partially offset by stable asset quality and improved qualitative factors.
  • Operating income, including net gains, increased slightly by $0.2 million when compared to the linked quarter.
  • Operating expenses increased by $0.4 million when compared to the linked quarter primarily due to data processing, other real estate owned ("OREO") expenses and professional services expenses.

The $1.1 million increase in quarterly net income when compared to the second quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by a $1.5 million increase in net interest income, a $0.3 million decrease in provision for credit loss, and a $0.2 million increase in non-interest income, partially offset by increases in non-interest expense of $0.6 million and income tax expense of $0.4 million.  Comparing the second quarter of 2025 to the same period of 2024, interest and fees on loans increased by $2.1 million due to from the repricing of adjustable-rate loans and growth in our loan portfolio.  Interest expense increased by $0.3 million when comparing year-over-year quarterly expense as increased funding was offset by reductions in deposit rates and borrowing costs.  Other operating income increased by $0.2 million driven primarily by increases in wealth management income, and other operating expenses increased by $0.6 million driven by a $0.2 million increase in net OREO expenses, a $0.2 million increase in professional services and contract labor expenses,  and a $0.2 million increase in data processing costs.

Compared to the linked quarter, net income increased slightly as net interest income increased by $0.7 million due to interest and fees on loans, and other operating income increased by $0.2 million due  to increases in gains in sales of residential mortgages, trust department income and debit card income.  These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in the provision for credit losses and a $0.4 million increase in other operating expenses driven by increased net OREO expenses and data processing, professional services, and investor relations expenses.  

Net income for the first six months of 2025 was $11.8 million compared to $8.6 million for the same period in 2024.   Net interest income increased by $3.7 million.  Provision for credit losses decreased by $0.6 million related due primarily to a $1.1 million charge-off related to equipment loans of one commercial relationship in 2024.   Other operating income increased by $0.3 million primarily due to increases in gains on sales of residential mortgages and wealth management income.   These increases were partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in other operating expenses that was primarily related to a $0.2 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $0.1 million increase in marketing and professional services expenses, and a $0.2 million increase in net OREO costs.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased by $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the second quarter of 2024.  This increase was driven by an increase of $1.8 million in interest income due to a $2.1 million increase in interest income on loans that resulted from an increase of 26 basis points in  the overall yield on the loan portfolio, upward repricing of adjustable-rate loans, and an increase in average balances of $74.1 million.  Interest income on Federal funds sold decreased by $0.4 million due to a decrease of 129 basis points in average rates and a decrease of $16.0 million in average balances.  Interest expense increased by $0.3 million when compared to the second quarter of 2024.  Interest expense paid on deposits increased by $0.4 million due to a $73.3 million increase in average balances, partially offset by a decrease of 2 basis points on the rate paid.  Interest paid on short-term borrowings decreased by $0.5 million when compared to the same period of 2024 due to the repayment of the $40.0 million from the Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP") late in the third quarter of 2024.  Interest paid on long-term borrowings increased by $0.4 million when compared to the second quarter of 2024 due to a $50.0 million increase in average balances, partially offset by a decrease in 100 basis points on rates paid.

Comparing the second quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2025, net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased by $0.7 million.  This increase was driven by a $0.8 million increase in interest income that resulted from an increase in interest and fees on loans of $0.5 million as average loan balances increased by $6.3 million and average yield increased by 6 basis points.  Interest expense was stable when comparing the second quarter of 2025 to the linked quarter. 

Comparing the six months ended June 30, 2025 to the six months ended June 30, 2024, net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased by $3.7 million.  Interest income increased by $3.9 million and was driven by an increase of $4.6 million on interest and fees on loans as average loan balances increased by $74.7 million and the overall yield increased by 36 basis points in correlation with upward repricing of adjustable-rate loans.  Interest expense on deposits increased by $0.8 million as the average deposit balances increased by $75.3 million, driven by increases of $4.8 million in demand deposit accounts, $76.6 million in money market balances and $15.9 million in brokered time deposits, partially offset by decreases in savings balances of $16.1 million and $6.1 million in retail time deposits.  Interest expense on short-term borrowings decreased by $0.9 million due to the Bank's utilization of the BTFP program in 2024 and subsequent repayment late in the third quarter of 2024.  The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 3.61% compared to 3.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Non-Interest Income

Other operating income, including net gains, for the second quarter of 2025 increased by $0.2 million when compared to the same period of 2024.  This increase was driven by a $0.1 million increase in wealth management income, reflecting higher market valuations and expanded relationships with both new and existing clients.   Additionally, gains on sales of residential mortgages increased by $0.1 million due to growth in production year-over-year.

On a linked quarter basis, other operating income, including net gains, increased by $0.2 million.  Debit card income increased by $0.1 million, and gains on sales of residential mortgages increased by $0.1 million due to higher production volumes.  Wealth management income was stable when compared to the prior quarter.

Other operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $0.3 million when compared to the same period of 2024.  This was attributable to a $0.2 million increase in wealth management income, driven by improving market conditions, increased annuity sales and growth in new and existing customer relationships.  Gains on sales of residential mortgages increased by $0.1 million.  Service charge and debit card income were both stable when comparing the first six months of 2025 to the same period of 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, non-interest expense increased by $0.3 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.  Salaries and employee  benefits increased by $0.2 million due to normal merit increases effective April 1, 2025, increases in stock compensation expense as a result of to increased stock prices and 401K expenses offset by reduced life and health insurance costs related to reduced claims in 2025.   Net OREO expenses increased by $0.2 million due to a $0.1 million gain on the sale of OREO in 2024 as well as one-time expense associated with an OREO property recorded in the second quarter of 2025, increases of $0.1 million in marketing and professional services and an increase in data processing expenses of $0.9 million.   These increases were partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses related to accelerated depreciation expense recognized in the first quarter of 2024 related to branch closures.

The book value of the Corporation's common stock was $29.43 per share at June 30, 2025 compared to $27.71 per share at December 31, 2024.  At June 30, 2025, there were 6,494,611 basic outstanding shares and 6,506,493 diluted outstanding shares of common stock.  The increase in the book value at June 30, 2025 was due to the undistributed net income of $8.9 million for the first six months of 2025.

Asset Quality

The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was $19.0 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $17.9 million at June 30, 2024 and $18.2 million at December 31, 2024.  The provision for credit losses was $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2025.  The decreased provision expense recorded in the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to $1.1 million in charge-offs related to one non-accrual commercial loan relationship that occurred in 2024. The increase in provision expense compared to the linked quarter was due to an increase of $22.6 in unfunded loan commitments quarter over quarter.  Asset quality remained strong during the second quarter of 2025.  Net charge-offs of $0.2 million were recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to net charge-offs of $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.  The ratio of the ACL to loans outstanding has been consistent at  1.27% at June 30, 2025 compared to1.25% at March 31, 2025 and 1.26% at June 30, 2024.

The ratio of net charge offs to average loans was 0.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 0.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.  The commercial and industrial portfolio had net charge offs of 0.25%  and 0.89% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.  This shift was due primarily to charge offs of equipment loan balances on one non-accrual commercial relationship during 2024.  The acquisition and development portfolio had net recoveries of 0.13% and 0.01% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.  This shift was due primarily to recoveries recognized in 2025 related to one relationship that was previously charged off in 2021.  The decrease in net charge offs in consumer loans in the first six months of 2025 was primarily driven by approximately $0.3 million in charge offs of demand deposit balances during the first quarter of 2024.  Details of the ratios, by loan type, are shown below.  Our special assets team continues to actively collect on charged-off loans, resulting in overall low net charge-off ratios.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)

Reconciliation of as reported (GAAP) and non-GAAP financial measures



























The following tables below provide a reconciliation of certain financial measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") (as reported) and non-GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company's management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a greater understanding of the Company's operating results in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP. While management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance, this information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following non-GAAP financial measures exclude accelerated depreciation expenses related to the branch closures.
