Results of Operations
Overview
The Company has continued to experience improvement in net income in each quarter of 2013 compared to the same periods of 2012, primarily due to increased levels of net interest income and reduced amounts in the Company’s provision for loan losses, offset in part by increases in noninterest expense. Return on average assets (“ROA”) was 1.09% and 0.97%, respectively, for the fourth quarter and full year of 2013, compared to 0.64% and 0.50%, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2012.
Return on average shareholders’ equity (“ROE”) was 10.96% for the fourth quarter and 9.14% for the full year of 2013, compared to 5.94% and 4.69%, respectively, for the same periods of 2012. United’s pre-tax, pre-provision income as a percent of average assets was 1.59% for the fourth quarter of 2013 and 1.60% for the full year of 2013.
The Company’s combined net interest income and noninterest income was down 1.2% in the fourth quarter of 2013 but increased by 2.4% for the full year of 2013 compared to the same periods of 2012. The diversity in the Company’s revenue stream has resulted in noninterest income that represented 40.4% of combined net interest income and noninterest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, compared to 41.6% for the same period of 2012. At the same time, the makeup of that revenue stream varies from year to year, helping to protect the Company against swings within specific categories of noninterest income.
United’s provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was $0 and $1.9 million, respectively, down from $1.7 million and $8.4 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2012. The provision for loan losses provides for probable incurred credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
For the fourth quarter of 2013, net interest income of $8.5 million was up 14.5% compared to the same period of 2012. Net interest income of $31.6 million for the full year 2013 increased by 4.6% over the same period of 2012. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.91% and 3.69%, respectively, for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2013, compared to 3.45% and 3.59%, respectively, for the same periods of 2012. The improvement in net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2013 was a result of a shifting of asset mix and reduced liquid assets, combined with a continued reduction in cost of funds.
The Company’s mix of assets has evolved over recent quarters. Portfolio loan growth of $59.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 has contributed to this shift in mix, and has helped the Company’s yield on its earning assets. The Company continues to fund its growth primarily with core deposits. As a result of its strong core funding, the Company’s cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.33% for the fourth quarter and 0.40% for the full twelve months of 2013, down from 0.52% and 0.61%, respectively, for the same periods of 2012. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $ 4.0 million on its $10.0 million revolving line of credit to fund, in part, the redemption of all of its remaining outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. While this additional borrowing will marginally increase the Company’s cost of funds in future periods, its impact on the cost of funds in the fourth quarter of 2013 was negligible.

Noninterest Income
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, total noninterest income equaled 40.4% of the Company’s combined net interest income and noninterest income. Noninterest income of $4.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was down 20.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, while noninterest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was only 0.7% lower than the same period of 2012.
The Company had experienced high levels of income from the sale and servicing of loans sold on the secondary market over the past two years. In the third quarter of 2013, that volume began to decline. Income from loan sales and servicing was down by 38.8% in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012. For the full twelve months of 2013, income from loan sales and servicing was 3.1% below the same period of 2012. At the same time, the Company’s diverse income stream has helped to offset some of this decline. Wealth Management fee income improved by 10.1%, and ATM, debit and credit card fee income increased by 6.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the same quarter of 2012.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense was down 1.2% in the fourth quarter but increased 3.1% in the full twelve months of 2013, compared to the same periods of 2012. The largest dollar increases for the full year 2013 were in compensation expense, while a number of categories of noninterest expense declined. Increases in compensation expense reflected, in part, moderate salary increases that were implemented effective April 1, 2013. The largest component of the compensation expense increase in 2013 was the accrual for profit sharing and incentive compensation expense, reflecting the Company’s improved earnings for the year. Prior to 2013, the Company did not pay or accrue any profit sharing, nor did it pay or accrue any cash bonus or other payout to executive officers under our bonus plans since 2008.
Balance Sheet
Total consolidated assets of the Company were $899.0 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $907.7 million at December 31, 2012. Total portfolio loans of $646.3 million increased by $59.6 million in the full twelve months of 2013. The Company generally sells its fixed rate long-term residential mortgages on the secondary market, and retains adjustable rate mortgages in its loan portfolio. Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for others at December 31, 2013 was $978.2 million, and has increased by $124.4 million, or 14.6%, in the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
The Company’s balances in federal funds sold and other short-term investments were $12.5 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $56.8 million at December 31, 2012. Short-term balances declined in part as a result of loan growth in excess of growth in deposits and borrowings during 2013. Securities available for sale of $191.2 million at December 31, 2013 were down $15.0 million from December 31, 2012 levels. The Company does not hold any collateralized debt obligations backed by trust preferred securities in its securities portfolio, nor any other securities that may be considered “Covered Funds” under the final Volker Rule of the Dodd-Frank Act.

Total deposits of $790.5 million at December 31, 2013 were up $5.9 million from $784.6 million at December 31, 2012. The majority of the Company’s deposits derive from core client sources, relating to long-term relationships with local individual, business and public fund clients. Public fund clients include local government and municipal bodies, hospitals, universities and other educational institutions.
Asset Quality
The Company continued to achieve significant improvement in its credit quality measures. Total nonperforming loans declined by $8.6 million, or 51.7%, since December 31, 2012. The decrease in nonperforming loans during the fourth quarter of 2013 totaled $5.2 million and included the resolution of non-accrual loans for four separate commercial borrowers. Total nonperforming loans as a percent of total portfolio loans were 1.25% at December 31, 2013, down from 2.86% at December 31, 2012. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans improved from 134.6% at December 31, 2012 to 252.6% at December 31, 2013. The Company’s ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 3.16% at December 31, 2013, compared with annualized net charge-offs of 0.64% of average loans for 2013. Nonperforming assets were 1.11% of total assets at December 31, 2013, representing the lowest level since the fourth quarter of 2006. Loan workout and collection efforts continue with all delinquent clients, in an effort to bring them back to performing status.
Capital Planning and Redemption of Preferred Stock
On December 27, 2013, the Company completed the redemption of all of the remaining 10,300 shares of its outstanding Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A ("Preferred Stock") that were originally issued to the United States Department of the Treasury ("U.S. Treasury") under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program. U.S. Treasury sold all 20,600 shares of Preferred Stock to private investors in June 2012. The Company had previously redeemed 10,300 shares of Preferred Stock on September 30, 2013.
The redemption price for the shares of Preferred Stock was the stated liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to but excluding December 27, 2013. The total cost of the redemption of shares of Preferred Stock was approximately $10.4 million, which was funded with a combination of excess cash at the holding company, a dividend to the holding company of retained earnings at the Bank, and the borrowing of $4.0 million under the Company’s $10.0 million revolving line of credit.The redemption of shares of Preferred Stock will result in estimated annual savings of $810,000, or $0.06 per common share, due to the elimination of payment of dividends on the redeemed shares.
Following completion of the redemption of shares of Preferred Stock, the capital ratios of the Company and the Bank continue to exceed regulatory standards to be categorized as well-capitalized.The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.77% at December 31, 2013, after payment of a $4.0 million dividend to the Company in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Management’s determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, the appropriate carrying value of intangible assets (including mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets) and other real estate owned and the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other-than-temporary and the amount of any impairment) involves judgments that are inherently forward-looking. There can be no assurance that future loan losses will be limited to the amounts estimated or that other real estate owned can be sold at its carrying value or at all. Our ability to successfully implement new programs and initiatives, increase efficiencies, utilize our deferred tax asset, address regulatory issues, respond to declines in collateral values and credit quality, maintain sufficient regulatory capital levels and improve profitability is not entirely within our control and is not assured. The future effect of changes in the financial and credit markets and the national and regional economy on the banking industry, generally, and on United Bancorp, Inc., specifically, are also inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (“risk factors”) that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. United Bancorp, Inc. undertakes no obligation to update, clarify or revise forward-looking statements to reflect developments that occur or information obtained after the date of this report.
In addition, expected cost savings, synergies and other financial benefits from the proposed merger with Old National Bancorp might not be realized within the expected time frame and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters might be greater than expected.

| (1) | In an attempt to evaluate the trends of net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense, the Company's management focuses on pre-tax, pre-provision income as useful and consistent measures of the Company's earnings capacity. This calculation adjusts net income by the amount of the Company's federal income tax (benefit) and provision for loan losses. While this information is not consistent with, or intended to replace, presentation under generally accepted accounting principles, it is presented here for comparison. |
| (2) | Market value per share is based on the last reported transaction on OTCQB before period end. |
