Univest Financial Corporation Reports Third Quarter Results

SOUDERTON, Pa., Oct. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Univest Financial Corporation (“Univest” or the "Corporation") (NASDAQ: UVSP), parent company of Univest Bank and Trust Co. and its insurance, investments and equipment financing subsidiaries, announced net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $20.8 million, or $0.71 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $20.9 million, or $0.71 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

One-Time Items
The financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included tax-free bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") death benefit claims of $446 thousand, which represented $0.02 diluted earnings per share for both periods.

Loans
Gross loans and leases, excluding Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans1, increased $190.6 million, or 13.5% (annualized), from June 30, 2022, $568.8 million, or 14.4% (annualized), from December 31, 2021 and $680.6 million, or 13.2%, from September 30, 2021 primarily due to increases in commercial, commercial real estate, construction, residential mortgage loans, and lease financings.

Deposits
Total deposits increased $223.9 million, or 16.1% (annualized), from June 30, 2022, primarily due to increases in public funds deposits partially offset by decreases in commercial deposits. Total deposits decreased $268.1 million, or 5.9% (annualized), from December 31, 2021, primarily due to decreases in commercial and consumer deposits. Total deposits decreased $151.2 million, or 2.5%, from September 30, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in public funds deposits.

Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income of $58.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $6.8 million, or 13.2%, from the three months ended June 30, 2022, and $9.6 million, or 19.6%, from the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 and the prior quarter was largely due to significant loan growth, the rapid increase in interest rates and the asset sensitivity position of the Corporation's balance sheet.

Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.67% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 3.19% for the second quarter of 2022 and 3.11% for the third quarter of 2021. Excess liquidity reduced net interest margin by approximately one basis point for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to 23 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 27 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. PPP loans had no impact on net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to one basis point for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 20 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Excluding the impact of excess liquidity and PPP loans, the net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.68% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to 3.41% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 3.18% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $18.0 million, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 12.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2021.

Net gain on mortgage banking activities decreased $2.4 million, or 74.7%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in loan sales and a contraction of margins. BOLI increased $228 thousand, or 24.6%, for the quarter compared to the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to death benefit claims of $446 thousand in the third quarter of 2022. Investment advisory commission and fee income decreased $597 thousand, or 12.4%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to reduced assets under management, which was driven by market performance.

Other income decreased $758 thousand, or 46.6%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Gains on the sale of Small Business Administration loans decreased $520 thousand for the quarter due to decreased sale activity. Fees on risk participation agreements for interest rate swaps decreased $171 thousand for the quarter driven by a decrease in customer demand due to the current interest rate environment.

Insurance commission and fee income increased $605 thousand, or 15.8%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to incremental revenue attributable to the acquisition of the Paul I. Sheaffer insurance agency in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Other service fee income increased $548 thousand, or 21.3%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Mortgage servicing fees increased $336 thousand for the quarter driven by reduced amortization as a result of a decrease in prepayment speeds.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $46.7 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 7.9%, compared to the third quarter of 2021. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included approximately $1.2 million in expenses related to our digital transformation initiative, a comprehensive digital platform which will blend our core operating systems together and allow Univest to seamlessly sell existing products and services, digitally, across an expanded footprint.

Salaries, benefits and commissions increased $2.8 million, or 10.4%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. This increase reflects the insurance acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2021, our expansion into Maryland and Western PA, and annual merit increases.

Professional fees increased $347 thousand, or 16.0%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to $1.0 million in consultant fees attributable to the previously discussed digital transformation initiative, as compared to our $585 thousand investment in our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program, training initiatives and treasury management product enhancements for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Data processing expenses increased $627 thousand, or 19.2%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to continued investments in technology including $180 thousand in support of the previously discussed digital transformation initiative for the respective period.

Tax Provision
The effective income tax rate was 19.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to an effective income tax rate of 19.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 reflects the benefits of tax-exempt income from investments in municipal securities and loans and leases. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was favorably impacted by discrete tax benefits and proceeds from BOLI death benefits. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate was 20.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
Nonperforming assets were $33.0 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $34.8 million at June 30, 2022 and $37.1 million at September 30, 2021.

Net loan and lease charge-offs were $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to net loan and lease recoveries of $75 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $3.0 million and $456 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

The provision for credit losses was $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to a provision for credit losses of $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2022 and a reversal of provision of $182 thousand for the third quarter of 2021. The provision for credit losses was $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to a reversal of provision for credit losses of $11.5 million for the comparable period in the prior year. 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, 2022 compared to 1.27% at June 30, 2022 and 1.34% at September 30, 2021.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Corporation repurchased 150,000 shares at an average price of $25.41, for an aggregate cost of $3.8 million.
