Quarterly Report
September 30, 2025
Shareholders, Clients, and Team Members:
I am pleased to report that your Company continued to see strong results for 2025, reporting $8.9 million in net income ($3.00/share) and 16.29% return on average tangible shareholders' equity. The Company also reported $37.9 million in loan growth (6.58% annualized) and $11.5 million (1.6% annualized) in core deposit growth (excluding the deposit fluctuations from the Ohio Treasurer's Ohio Homebuyer's matching deposits). As a result of a $6.5 million increase (28.2%) in net interest income as compared to the first nine months of 2024, net interest margin improved to 3.69% from 3.09% from the same period in 2024.
Trading of shares (UBOH) on OTCQX during the third quarter was noticeably elevated as compared to the previous quarter (167% increase). The average share price close during the quarter was $31.58, (18% increase) with a high close of $37.35 and a low close of $27.00. We continue to believe that selectively repurchasing our shares at attractive pricing creates long-term value for our shareholders. From 2022 through September 2025, the Company has repurchased 374,121 shares at an average price of $21.53.
As a result of these successes, the Board of Directors declared a $0.23 per share quarterly dividend, payable on December 15th for shareholders of record on November 28th. The dividend is 22.8% of the reported net income for the third quarter of 2025.
I am also pleased to report implementation of an all-new digital platform for our clients continues with an expected rollout in the first quarter of 2026, increased usage of our 7am-7pm live teller access at all our locations, and the addition of incredible new team members with significant experience and compatible cultural approaches in our commercial, retail and operational areas. We continue to be blessed by the countless people who have chosen to serve or be served by The Union Bank Company.
The continued accomplishments of your Company are the result of ongoing efforts of the Company's resolute team members and Board of Directors in applying our strong corporate values of respect for and accountability to our shareholders, clients, colleagues, and communities. As always, your ongoing support and the trust you have placed in us is appreciated.
Respectfully,
Brian D. Young
President & CEO
