    المصدر: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 26 أبريل 2023 16:15:01   America/New_York

    SOUDERTON, Pa., April 26, 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 March 31, 2023 was $21.0 million, or $0.71 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $20.3 million, or $0.68 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

    Loans
    Gross loans and leases increased $116.6 million, or 1.9% (7.6% annualized), from December 31, 2022, primarily due to increases in commercial real estate, residential mortgage loans, and lease financings. Gross loans and leases increased $839.0 million, or 15.5%, from March 31, 2022, primarily due to increases in commercial, commercial real estate, construction, residential mortgage loans, and lease financings.

    Deposits and Liquidity
    Total deposits decreased $78.9 million, or 1.3% (5.2% annualized), from December 31, 2022, primarily due to decreases in commercial and consumer deposits partially offset by increases in public funds and brokered deposits. Total deposits decreased $213.3 million, or 3.5%, from March 31, 2022, primarily due to decreases in commercial and consumer deposits partially offset by increases in public funds and brokered deposits. While we experienced certain expected outflows during the quarter, we saw net deposit inflows of $81.1 million during the month of March. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 30.8% of total deposits at March 31, 2023, down from 34.6% at December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, uninsured deposits, adjusted to exclude internal accounts and collateralized trust and public funds deposit accounts, represented 27.2% of total deposits.

    The Corporation and its subsidiaries had committed borrowing capacity of $3.1 billion at March 31, 2023, of which $1.9 billion was available. The Corporation and its subsidiaries also maintained uncommitted funding sources from correspondent banks of $410.0 million at March 31, 2023, of which $320.0 million was available. 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availability under these uncommitted funding sources is subject to the prerogatives of the granting banks and may be withdrawn at will.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 $59.3 million for the first quarter of 2023 increased $12.7 million, or 27.1%, from the first quarter of 2022 and decreased $2.6 million, or 4.2%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 was largely due to significant loan balance growth and an increase in asset yields, offset by increases in the average balance of borrowings and the cost of funds.

    Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.58% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 3.76% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2.89% for the first quarter of 2022. Excess liquidity had no impact on net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Excess liquidity reduced net interest margin by approximately one basis point for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and 33 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Excluding the impact of excess liquidity, the net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.77% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and 3.22% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

    Noninterest Income
    Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $19.7 million, a decrease of $790 thousand, or 3.9%, from the comparable period in the prior year.

    Net gain on mortgage banking activities decreased $1.3 million, or 67.6%, for the quarter primarily due to a decrease in loan sales and a contraction of gain on sale margins due to the higher interest rate environment in 2023. Investment advisory commission and fee income decreased $400 thousand, or 7.8%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by reduced assets under management and supervision due to market volatility.

    Insurance commission and fee income increased $917 thousand, or 16.5%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to increases in premiums for group life and health and commercial lines and an increase in contingent commission income of $651 thousand, which was $1.8 million and $1.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Contingent income is largely recognized in the first quarter of the year.

    Noninterest Expense
    Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $49.5 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 9.1%, from the comparable period in the prior year.

    Salaries, benefits and commissions increased $2.8 million, or 9.8%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This increase reflects our expansion into Maryland and Western Pennsylvania and annual merit increases. Additionally, capitalized compensation decreased by $480 thousand due to reduced loan production.

    Data processing expenses increased $462 thousand, or 13.0%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to our investments in technology in recent years and general price increases incurred in the second half of 2022. Other expense increased $1.0 million, or 16.3%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to increases in retirement plan costs of $407 thousand, which was primarily driven by the current interest rate environment, and Bank Shares tax expense of $110 thousand driven by year over year growth of the Bank's Shareholders' Equity.

    Tax Provision
    The effective income tax rate was 19.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to an effective income tax rate of 19.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which were favorably impacted by 7 and 8 basis points, respectively, of discrete tax benefits resulting from equity compensation awards vesting in the respective quarters. Additionally, the effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 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 $32.4 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $33.5 million at December 31, 2022 and $31.4 million at March 31, 2022.

    Net loan and lease charge-offs were $2.8 million during the first quarter of 2023 compared to $76 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, $2.4 million of charge-offs were recorded against two existing nonaccrual commercial loans to one borrower. As of December 31, 2022, the allowance for credit losses included a $2.1 million specific reserve for this relationship.

    The provision for credit losses was $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to a reversal of provision for credit losses of $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment was 1.28% at March 31, 2023 compared to 1.29% at December 31, 2022 and 1.26% at March 31, 2022.

    Dividend
    On April 26, 2023, Univest declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share to be paid on May 24, 2023 to shareholders of record as of May 10, 2023.
