Exhibit 99.1

 

On January 20, 2022, United Bancshares, Inc. issued the following release:

 

United Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: UBOH – news), a financial holding company headquartered in Columbus Grove, Ohio with consolidated assets of $1.1 billion today announced operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, unaudited.

 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Corporation reported net income of $2,717,000, or $0.83 basic earnings per share. This compares to the fourth quarter of 2020 net income of $1,749,000, or $0.53 basic earnings per share. The increase in operating results for the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $1,750,000 (100.0%), and a decrease in non-interest expenses of $1,218,000 (12.1%), offset by a decrease in non-interest income of $1,785,000 (36.4%), a decrease in net interest income of $191,000 (2.1%) and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $24,000 (8.9%).

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $13,581,000, or $4.14 basic earnings per share, compared to $13,755,000, or $4.21 basic earnings per share for the same period in 2020, a decrease of $174,000 (1.3%). The decrease in operating results for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to a decrease in non-interest income of $9,654,000, offset by an increase in net interest income of $2,693,000, a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $5,900,000, a decrease in non-interest expenses of $459,000, and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $428,000.

 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, non-interest income was $3,117,000, compared to $4,902,000 for the fourth quarter of 2020, a $1,785,000 decrease. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease in gain on sales of loans of $4,896,000 (68.9%), offset by an increase in other non-interest income of $3,121,000. The significant decrease in gain on sale of loans was attributable to a decrease in loan activity by the residential mortgage operations, along with a decrease in the net gain on sale, expressed as a percentage of loan balances sold. During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, there were 276 loans sold totaling $72.5 million, compared to 532 loans sold totaling $141.8 million during the same period of 2020. The net gain on sale was 2.90% for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 4.92% for the same period of 2020. The increase in other non-interest income was primarily related to an increase in income from the Corporation’s loan hedging program of $3,179,000.

 

Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $17,346,000, compared to $27,000,000 for the same period in 2020, a decrease of $9,654,000 (35.8%). The decrease in non-interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease in gain on sales of loans of $10,670,000 (44.2%), and a decrease in gain on sales of securities of $305,000, offset by an increase in other non-interest income of $1,322,000 (51.4%). The decrease in gain on sale of loans was attributable to a decrease in loan activity, coupled with a decrease in the net gain on sale earned. The net gain on sale, expressed as a percentage of loan balances sold, was 3.58% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 4.78% for the same period of 2020.

 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, non-interest expenses were $8,847,000, compared to $10,066,000 for the comparable quarter of 2020, a $1,218,000 (12.1%) decrease.  The significant quarter-over-quarter decreases include salaries and benefits of $960,000 (16.1%), loan fees of $308,000 (56.6%), and information technology expense of $143,000 (67.0%), offset by an increase in depreciation expense of $251,000 (88.5%).

 

Non-interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $36,706,000, compared to $37,165,000 for the same period in 2020, a decrease of $459,000 (1.2%). The decrease in non-interest expenses was primarily attributable to decreases in salaries and benefits of $1,429,000 (6.5%) and loan fees of $444,000 (21.8%), offset by increases in data processing expense of $396,000 (22.0%), equipment service expense of $311,000 (38.6%), depreciation expense of $431,000 (41.9%), advertising and promotional expense of $157,000 (7.6%), and Ohio Financial Institutions Tax of $181,000 (28.5%).

 

Total assets amounted to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2021, compared to $978.5 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $98.0 million (10.0%). The increase in total assets was primarily the result of increases of $18.2 million (31.9%) in cash and cash equivalents, and $113.1 million (58.1%) in securities available-for-sale, offset by a $24.9 million (4.0%) decrease in net loans. Deposits totaled $930.4 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $838.4 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $92.0 million (11.0%).

 

Shareholders’ equity increased from $111.6 million at December 31, 2020 to $119.1 million at December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily the result of net income during the year ended December 31, 2021 of $13,581,000, offset by a decrease in unrealized securities gains, net of tax of $3,362,000, and dividends paid of $2,393,000. The decrease in unrealized securities gains during the year ended December 31, 2021 was attributable to increasing long term treasury yields.  Net unrealized gains and losses on securities are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.
