Union Bankshares Announces Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026
and Declares Quarterly Dividend
Morrisville, VT July 15, 2026 - Union Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ - UNB) today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and declared a regular quarterly cash dividend. Consolidated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $2.9 million, or $0.61 per share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.53 per share, for the same period in 2025, and $5.9 million, or $1.26 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $4.9 million, or $1.08 per share, for the same period in 2025.
President and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey F. Weidley commented on the results:
"Union Bankshares delivered strong second quarter and year-to-date results, reflecting the strength of our balance sheet, disciplined execution, and the dedication of our employees. Growth in net interest income, improved earnings, and continued increases in book value demonstrate the resilience of our community banking model. As we embark on an important leadership transition, I am confident that Union Bank is exceptionally well-positioned for the future, supported by a talented management team, strong asset quality, and a steadfast commitment to serving the individuals, businesses, and communities that have placed their trust in us."
Balance Sheet
Total assets reached $1.56 billion as of June 30, 2026 from $1.48 billion as of June 30, 2025 representing growth of $78.4 million, or 5.3%. The increase was driven by an increases in the securities and loan portfolios. Investment securities increased to $308.0 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $242.4 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $65.6 million, or 27.0%, due to a strategic decision to pre-invest future cash flows from the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2025. Total loan growth was modest during the comparison periods at $14.0 million with outstanding balances of $1.12 billion as of June 30, 2026. Sales of qualifying mortgage loans were $56.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $56.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The allowance for credit losses on loans was $8.4 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $8.3 million as of June 30, 2025. Asset quality remains strong and management continues to assess credit risk exposure and adjusts reserves as needed. Management believes the current credit loss expense is appropriate given the composition and performance of the loan portfolio, and continues to monitor macroeconomic indicators that may impact borrower behavior and repayment capacity.
Total deposits were $1.09 billion as of June 30, 2026 compared to $1.10 billion as of June 30, 2025, and included purchased brokered deposits of $43.8 million as of June 30, 2026 and $65.3 million as of June 30, 2025. Borrowed funds were $337.1 million as of June 30, 2026 and consisted of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $316.1 million and Federal Reserve borrowings of $21.0 million compared to Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $270.7 million as of June 30, 2025.
Stockholders' equity increased to $90.4 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $71.3 million as of June 30, 2025, resulting in an increase in book value per share of 16.7% to $18.28 as of June 30, 2026 compared to $15.66 as of June 30, 2025. These increases are due in part to sales of common stock in accordance with the equity distribution agreement previously announced on May 20, 2025. Through June 30, 2026, 384,066 shares of the Company's stock have been sold resulting in net proceeds, after expenses, of $8.6 million. Accumulated other comprehensive loss as it relates to the fair market value adjustment for investment securities as of June 30, 2026 was $27.0 million compared to $31.2 million as of June 30, 2025 which also contributed to the improvement in book value per share.
Income Statement
Consolidated net income was $2.9million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2025. Results increased $529 thousand for the comparison periods due to increases of $1.2 million net interest income and $484 thousand in noninterest income, and a decrease of $46 thousand in credit loss expense, partially offset by increases of $976 thousand in noninterest expenses and $199 thousand in income tax expense.
Interest income was $20.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.3 million, or 7.1%. The increase is attributable to a larger earning asset base and higher interest rates on those assets. Interest expense increased $162 thousand, or 2.0%, to $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 These changes resulted in improvement in net interest income of $1.2 million, or 11.2%, for the comparison periods.
Credit loss expense of $175 thousand was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to credit loss expense of $221 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The reduction in credit loss expense during the comparison periods was primarily related to the size and mix of the loan portfolio and unfunded commitments at June 30, 2026.
Noninterest income was $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2025. There was a one-time gain of $380 thousand recognized on the sale of a branch property during the second quarter of 2026. Sales of qualifying residential mortgages resulted in net gains of $490 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to net gains of $480 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Noninterest expenses increased $976 thousand, or 9.3%, to $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase during the comparison periods was due to increases of $831 thousand in salaries and wages, $35 thousand in equipment expenses, and $184 thousand in other expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $74 thousand in employee benefits. Income tax expense was $301 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $199 thousand compared to $102 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
