    (Loan Growth of 19.6% (annualized) for the second quarter 2022 (excluding PPP loans1))

    SOUDERTON, Pa., July 27, 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, today announced net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $13.2 million, or $0.45 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $20.9 million, or $0.71 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $33.5 million, or $1.13 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $53.5 million, or $1.81 diluted earnings per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

    Loans
    Gross loans and leases, excluding Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans1, increased $265.9 million, or 19.6% (annualized), from March 31, 2022, $378.2 million, or 14.4% (annualized), from December 31, 2021 and $582.0 million, or 11.5%, from June 30, 2021 primarily due to increases in commercial, commercial real estate, construction, residential mortgage loans, and lease financings. As of June 30, 2022, $5.4 million in PPP loans remained outstanding.

    Deposits
    Total deposits decreased $484.9 million, or 32.0% (annualized), from March 31, 2022 and $492.1 million, or 16.2% (annualized), from December 31, 2021 primarily due to a seasonal decrease in public funds deposits as well as decreases in commercial and consumer deposits. Total deposits increased $244.3 million, or 4.6%, from June 30, 2021, primarily due to increases in commercial, consumer and public funds deposits.

    Net Interest Income and Margin
    Net interest income of $51.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $4.8 million, or 10.3%, from the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $4.7 million, or 10.1%, from the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was due to an increase in the average balance of loans and investments, increased asset yields and a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in PPP loan income.

    Net interest income of $98.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $6.0 million, or 6.5%, from the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was due to loan and investment average balance growth outpacing declines in asset yields and a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in PPP loan income.

    Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.19% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 2.89% for the first quarter of 2022 and 3.15% for the second quarter of 2021. Excess liquidity reduced net interest margin by approximately 23 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to 33 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and ten basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, our excess liquidity diminished and we returned to a pre-pandemic liquidity level at the end of the quarter. PPP loans had a favorable impact on net interest margin of one basis point for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to three basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and eleven basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Excluding the impact of excess liquidity and PPP loans, the net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.41% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to 3.19% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 3.14% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

    During the second quarter, the Bank entered into a 4-year $250 million interest rate swap (representing approximately 13% of the Bank's variable rate loans), whereby the Bank receives a fixed rate of 5.99% and pays a variable rate equal to the Prime Rate. During the second quarter of 2022, the swap contributed $707 thousand to net interest income and four basis points to net interest margin.

    Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 3.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Excess liquidity reduced net interest margin by approximately 28 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to ten basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2021. PPP loans had a favorable impact on net interest margin of two basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to seven basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding the impact of excess liquidity and PPP loans, the net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 3.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

    Noninterest Income
    Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $19.0 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 6.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2021.

    Net gain on mortgage banking activities decreased $2.2 million, or 64.5%, for the quarter and $6.2 million, or 66.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the comparable periods in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in loan sales and a contraction of margins. Bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") decreased $915 thousand, or 56.5%, for the quarter and $933 thousand, or 39.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the comparable periods in the prior year, primarily due to a death benefit claim of $893 thousand in the second quarter of 2021.

    Insurance commission and fee income increased $790 thousand, or 20.6%, for the quarter and $1.4 million, or 16.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the comparable periods in the prior year, primarily due to incremental revenue attributable to the insurance agency the Corporation acquired in the fourth quarter of 2021. Investment advisory commission and fee income increased $254 thousand, or 5.6%, for the quarter and $709 thousand, or 7.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the comparable periods in the prior year, 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.

    Other service fee income increased $561 thousand, or 20.4%, for the quarter and $1.1 million, or 22.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the comparable periods in the prior year. Mortgage servicing fees increased $357 thousand for the quarter and $619 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 driven by reduced amortization as a result of a decrease in prepayment speeds. Interchange fee income increased $115 thousand for the quarter and $291 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to increased customer activity.

    Noninterest Expense

    Salaries, benefits and commissions increased $3.7 million, or 14.7%, for the quarter and $7.2 million, or 14.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the comparable periods in the prior year. These increases reflect our continued investment in revenue producing staff across all business lines, including the acquisition of the Paul I. Schaeffer insurance agency, and annual merit increases. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred $353 thousand and $740 thousand, respectively, of short-term incremental guaranties related to the hiring of new producers in our mortgage banking line of business.

    Professional fees increased $829 thousand, or 41.1%, for the quarter and $1.2 million, or 32.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the comparable periods in the prior year. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to $1.2 million of consultant fees spent related to the previously discussed digital transformation initiative, as compared to our $230 thousand investment in our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training initiatives for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to $1.9 million of consultant fees spent related to the previously discussed digital transformation initiative, as compared to our $506 thousand investment in our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training initiatives for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Deposit insurance premiums increased $199 thousand, or 32.5%, for the quarter and $456 thousand, or 36.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the comparable periods in the prior year, driven by an increased assessment base.

    Data processing expenses increased $644 thousand, or 21.0%, for the quarter and $1.2 million, or 19.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the comparable periods in the prior year, primarily due to continued investments in our end-to-end loan origination solution for loans below $1.0 million, customer relationship management software, internal infrastructure improvements, outsourced data processing solutions, and $155 thousand and $258 thousand in support of the previously discussed digital transformation initiative for the respective periods.

    Other expense increased $676 thousand, or 11.7%, for the quarter and $1.7 million, or 15.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the comparable periods in the prior year. Recruiting costs increased $138 thousand and $420 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, due to increased hiring activity, including the entry into our two new expansions markets.

    Tax Provision
    The effective income tax rate was 19.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to an effective income tax rate of 19.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The effective income tax rate was 19.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to an effective income tax rate of 19.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 reflects 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 $34.8 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $31.5 million at March 31, 2022 and $38.5 million at June 30, 2021. During the quarter, a nonaccrual commercial real estate loan was transferred to other real estate owned ("OREO") with a carrying value of $18.3 million.

    Net loan and lease charge-offs were $1.7 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $243 thousand and $531 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. During the second quarter of 2022, a $1.7 million charge-off was recorded against an existing nonaccrual commercial real estate loan.

    The provision for credit losses was $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2022 primarily driven by a $5.5 million increase (after-tax charge of $4.3 million), or $0.15 diluted earnings per share, in reserves due to loan growth, a specific reserve of $1.1 million related to a commercial real estate loan that was placed on nonaccrual status during the second quarter and an incremental provision of $736 thousand related to the previously mentioned $1.7 million charge-off. The reversal of provision for credit losses was $59 thousand for the second quarter of 2021 driven by a $2.7 million increase (after-tax charge of $2.1 million), or $0.07 diluted earnings per share, in reserves due to loan growth outpaced by favorable changes in economic-related assumptions within the Corporation’s CECL model.

    The provision for credit losses was $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily driven by a $6.8 million increase (after-tax charge of $5.4 million), or $0.18 diluted earnings per share, in reserves due to loan growth and specific reserves of $2.8 million on two nonaccrual commercial real estate properties. These increases were partially offset by $7.3 million (after-tax benefit of $5.8 million), or $0.19 diluted earnings per share, of changes in economic-related assumptions within the Corporation’s CECL model. Additionally, reserves on unfunded commitments and investment securities increased $990 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The reversal of provision for credit losses was $11.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year, of which $15.8 million (after-tax benefit of $12.5 million), or $0.42 diluted earnings per share, was attributable to favorable changes in economic-related assumptions within the Corporation’s CECL model, partially offset by a reserve increase attributable to loan growth.

    The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment was 1.27% at June 30, 2022, compared to 1.26% at March 31, 2022, and 1.34% at June 30, 2021. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment, excluding PPP loans1, was 1.27% at June 30, 2022 compared to 1.27% at March 31, 2022 and 1.41% at June 30, 2021.
