Earnings for the First Quarter of 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. and CHARLESTON, WV— United Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBSI) (“United”), today announced its earnings for the first quarter of 2020 and that it has exceeded $20 billion in total assets. Earnings for the first quarter of 2020 were $40.2 million as compared to earnings of $63.6 million for the first quarter of 2019. The lower amount of net income was driven primarily by a higher provision for loan losses resulting from an adverse future macroeconomic forecast as a result of the coronavirus(“COVID-19”) pandemic under the new Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) accounting standard. This was an industry-wide issue that affected bank earnings nationwide. Diluted earnings per share were $0.40 for the first quarter of 2020 and $0.62 for the first quarter of 2019.

“Let me first extend our deepest sympathy to those families who have lost loved ones, and our greatest appreciation to those individuals working on the front lines during this coronavirus pandemic,” stated Richard M. Adams, United’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “While our core earnings results for the first quarter of 2020 were good, given the current environment, we continue to focus on the challenges that people and businesses are facing each day.”

Adams added, “Through this pandemic, our employees have been focused on meeting our customers’ needs as most branches have remained open, with heightened safety procedures and precautions. We’ve enabled many of our employees to work remotely, made additional cash payments to employees whose roles require them to come into the office, and we have taken significant actions to help ensure their safety. For commercial and consumer customers, we’ve suspended residential property foreclosures, offered fee waivers, and provided payment deferrals, among other actions. United has been actively involved as a facilitator of the government Paycheck Protection Program. Our team members have worked nights and weekends to meet deadlines for businesses in need. The bottom line is that we are executing our purpose, which is to make a positive difference in the lives of our employees, our customers, our shareholders, and our communities.”

As ofmid-April, United had processed over 3,000 loans totaling over $900 million under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) prior to all of the available funds for the program being exhausted. Since then, President Trump signed into law the “Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act” on April 24, 2020 to provide additional funding for the PPP program. The Small Business Administration (“SBA”) resumed accepting PPP loan applications on April 27, 2020 from approved lenders on behalf of any eligible borrower. United has started processing loans under this “second round” of government funding.

First quarter of 2020 results produced an annualized return on average assets of 0.82%, an annualized return on average equity of 4.82% and an annualized return on average tangible equity of 8.77%. United’s annualized returns on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity were 1.34%, 7.88% and 14.64%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2019.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2020 was $141.5 million, which was a decrease of $2.7 million or 2% from the first quarter of 2019.Tax-equivalent net interest income, which adjusts for thetax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments, for the first quarter of 2020 was $142.3 million, a decrease of $2.9 million or 2% from the first quarter of 2019 due mainly to a decrease of 33 basis points in the average yield on earning assets due primarily to a decline in interest rates as compared to the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in loan accretion on acquired loans. Loan accretion on acquired loans was $9.5 million and $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Partially offsetting the decrease totax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2020 was an increase in average earning assets as compared to the first quarter of 2019. Average earning assets for the first quarter of 2020 increased $372.4 million or 2% from the first quarter of 2019 due mainly to an increase of $302.4 million or 2% in average net loans. In addition, average investment securities for the first quarter of 2020 increased $94.5 million or 4% from the first quarter of 2019. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in average short-term investments of $24.4 million or 3%. In addition, the average cost of funds for the first quarter of 2020 decreased 21 basis points from the first quarter of 2019. The net interest margin of 3.30% for the first quarter of 2020 was a decrease of 16 basis points from the net interest margin of 3.46% for the first quarter of 2019.

On a linked-quarter basis, net interest income for the first quarter of 2020 was relatively flat from the fourth quarter of 2019, increasing $235 thousand or less than 1%. United’stax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2020 was also relatively flat from the fourth quarter of 2019, increasing $166 thousand or less than 1% due mainly to a decrease of 13 basis points in the average cost of funds and a change in the mix of average earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Average earning assets were flat, increasing $130.7 million or less than 1%. Specifically, average short-term investments increased $118.6 million or 20% while average investment securities decreased $41.1 million or 2%. Average net loans were relatively flat for the quarter, increasing $53.2 million or less than 1%. Virtually offsetting the increases was a decline of 7 basis points in the average yield on earning assets. Loan accretion on acquired loans increased $905 thousand. Loan accretion on acquired loans was $9.5 million and $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively. The net interest margin of 3.30% for the first quarter of 2020 was relatively stable from the fourth quarter of 2019, increasing one basis point from the net interest margin of 3.29% for the fourth quarter of 2019.

For the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the provision for credit losses was $27.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively. This increase was due mainly to the reasonable and supportable forecasts for future macroeconomic scenarios used in the estimation of expected credit losses adversely impacted by theCOVID-19 pandemic under the new CECL accounting standard adopted by United on January 1, 2020. Net charge-offs were $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2020 as compared to net charge-offs of $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2019. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.20% for the first quarter of 2020. On a linked-quarter basis, the provision for loans losses increased $21.3 million due mainly to the adoption of CECL and the adverse impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic while net charge-offs increased $780 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2019.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2020 was $36.8 million, which was an increase of $5.6 million or 18% from the first quarter of 2019. The increase was due mainly to an increase of $4.0 million in income from mortgage banking activities due to increased production and sales of mortgage loans in the secondary market by United’s mortgage banking subsidiary, George Mason Mortgage, LLC (“George Mason”). Also, income from bank-owned life insurance policies (“BOLI”) increased $561 thousand from the first quarter of 2019 due to the recognition of death benefits of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to death benefits of $600 thousand for the first quarter of 2019.

On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest income for the first quarter of 2020 decreased $436 thousand or 1% from the fourth quarter of 2019 due mainly to decreases in fees from deposit services and income from BOLI. Fees from deposit services declined $592 thousand from seasonality while income from BOLI decreased $518 thousand due to a decline in death benefits. Mostly offsetting these decreases were increases of $448 thousand in fees from brokerage services due to increased volume and $388 thousand in other income. Income from mortgage banking activities was flat from the fourth quarter of 2019, increasing $84 thousand or less than 1%. On a linked quarter-basis, an increase in net gains on the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market by George Mason were virtually offset by losses on mortgage loan derivatives due to a market disruption as a result of theCOVID-19 pandemic.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2020 was $101.1 million, an increase of $11.7 million or 13% from the first quarter of 2019. In particular, employee compensation increased $5.6 million due mainly to an increase in commissions expense related to the increase in production and sales of mortgage loans at George Mason. In addition, employee benefits expense increased $1.4 million due mainly to higher pension costs, equipment expense increased $530 thousand due to higher maintenance costs, and other expense increased $5.2 million. Within other expense, merger-related expenses associated with the announced Carolina Financial Corporation (“Carolina Financial”) acquisition were $1.6 million, amortization of income tax credits increased $1.3 million which reduces the effective tax rate, and the expense for the reserve for unfunded commitments increased $897 thousand. Partially offsetting the increases to noninterest expense were decreases of $900 thousand in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance expense due to lower premiums and $510 thousand in other real estate owned (“OREO”) expense due to fewer declines in fair value of OREO properties.

On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2020 increased $4.2 million or 4% from the fourth quarter of 2019. This increase was due mainly to an increase of $1.7 million in employee benefits expense due to a combination of higher pension, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) and health care insurance costs. In addition, FDIC expense increased $1.4 million due to a Small Bank Assessment Credit in 2019 and other expense increased $1.3 million. Within other expense, increases of $1.0 million in the expense for the reserve for unfunded commitments, $971 thousand in merger-related expenses from the announced merger with Carolina Financial Corporation and $720 thousand for the amortization of income tax credits were partially offset by a decline in donations of $1.2 million. One million dollars was donated by United to West Virginia University Children’s Medicine in the fourth quarter of 2019. Partially offsetting these increases in noninterest expense was a decrease in OREO expense of $544 thousand due to fewer declines in fair value of OREO properties.

For the first quarter of 2020, income tax expense was $9.9 million, a decrease of $7.4 million from the first quarter of 2019 mainly due to a decrease in earnings and a lower effective tax rate. On a linked-quarter basis, income tax expense for the first quarter of 2020 decreased $2.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2019 due to a decline in earnings partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. United’s effective tax rate was approximately 19.8% for the first quarter of 2020 and 21.4% and 16.5% for the first and fourth quarters of 2019, respectively.

United’s asset quality continues to be sound relative to the current economic environment. At March 31, 2020, nonperforming loans were $132.6 million, or 0.96% of loans, net of unearned income, which was very comparable to nonperforming loans of $131.1 million, or 0.96% of loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, the allowance for loan losses was $154.9 million or 1.12% of loans, net of unearned income, as compared to $77.1 million or 0.56% of loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2019. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was due to the adoption of CECL and the impact ofCOVID-19 related to the new methodology. Total nonperforming assets of $148.4 million, including OREO of $15.8 million at March 31, 2020, represented 0.73% of total assets as compared to nonperforming assets of $146.6 million or 0.75% at December 31, 2019.

United continues to be well-capitalized based upon regulatory guidelines. United’s estimated risk-based capital ratio is 14.5% at March 31, 2020 while its estimated Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratios are 12.3%, 12.3% and 10.4%, respectively. The March 31, 2020 ratios reflects United’s election of a five-year transition provision, allowed by the Federal Reserve Board and other federal banking agencies in response to theCOVID-19 pandemic, to delay for two years the full impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period. The regulatory requirements for a well-capitalized financial institution are a risk-based capital ratio of 10.0%, a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.0% and a leverage ratio of 5.0%.

As of March 31, 2020, United had consolidated assets of approximately $20.4 billion. United is the parent company of United Bank, the largest community bank headquartered in the D.C. Metro region. United Bank, which comprises 138 full-service banking offices and 14 George Mason Mortgage, LLC locations, is located throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. United’s stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the quotation symbol “UBSI”.

Cautionary Statements

The Company is required under generally accepted accounting principles to evaluate subsequent events through the filing of its March 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements on Form10-Q. As a result, the Company will continue to evaluate the impact of any subsequent events on critical accounting assumptions and estimates made as of March 31, 2020 and will adjust amounts preliminarily reported, if necessary.

Use ofnon-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Generally, United has presented these“non-GAAP” financial measures because it believes that these measures provide meaningful additional information to assist in the evaluation of United’s results of operations or financial position. Presentation of thesenon-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how United’s management evaluates its performance internally and thesenon-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the banking industry.

Specifically, this press release contains certain references to financial measures identified astax-equivalent (FTE) net interest income, tangible equity and tangible book value per share. Management believes thesenon-GAAP financial measures to be helpful in understanding United’s results of operations or financial position.

Net interest income is presented in this press release on atax-equivalent basis. Thetax-equivalent basis adjusts for thetax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. Although this is anon-GAAP measure, United’s management believes this measure is more widely used within the financial services industry and provides better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable andtax-exempt sources. United uses this measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage its balance sheet composition. Thetax-equivalent adjustment combines amounts of interest income on federally nontaxable loans and investment securities using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.

Tangible common equity is calculated as GAAP total shareholders’ equity minus total intangible assets. Tangible common equity can thus be considered the most conservative valuation of the company. Tangible common equity is also presented on a per common share basis and considering net income, a return on average tangible equity. Management provides these amounts to facilitate the understanding of as well as to assess the quality and composition of United’s capital structure. By removing the effect of intangible assets that result from merger and acquisition activity, the “permanent” items of common equity are presented. These measures, along with others, are used by management to analyze capital adequacy and performance.

Wherenon-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as reconciliation to that comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the attached financial information tables to this press release. Investors should recognize that United’s presentation of thesenon-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies. Thesenon-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and United strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety.
