FIRST UNITED CORPORATION ANNOUNCES

FOURTH QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

OAKLAND, MARYLAND— February 4, 2026: First United Corporation (the “Corporation”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (NASDAQ: FUNC), a bank holding company and the parent company of First United Bank & Trust (the “Bank”), today announced financial results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2025. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) net income was $24.5 million for the year, or $3.77 per diluted share compared to $20.6 million, or $3.15 per diluted share for the same period of 2024. GAAP net income was $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, or $0.89 per diluted share, compared to $6.2 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024 and $6.9 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net income, exclusive of losses on contracted sale of a retail branch office, write-downs of other real estate owned (“OREO”), and net gains on sales of investments, was $25.8 million, or $3.97 per diluted share yielding record core earnings for the year ended December 31, 2025. Non-GAAP net income, exclusive of accelerated depreciation of fixed assets associated with branch closures, was $21.0 million, or $3.21 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2024. Non-GAAP net income was $7.2 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $6.2 million, or $0.95 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024 and $6.9 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025. GAAP Return on Average Assets and Return on Average Equity for the year ended December 31, 2025, were 1.21% and 12.70%, respectively.

 

According to Carissa L. Rodeheaver, Executive Chairman of the Board, “2025 was a truly remarkable year for First United as we celebrated our 125th anniversary—an extraordinary milestone in our history. Throughout the year, we had the privilege of honoring the relationships we’ve built with our clients while highlighting our ongoing commitment to future generations through trust, innovation, and meaningful community impact. In addition to commemorating our legacy, we delivered a record year of core earnings, excluding a non-recurring markdown on a foreclosure property. Our performance was driven by a strong net interest margin, robust loan, deposit and trust production, and our continued disciplined approach to expense management. As we look to the future, I am pleased to recognize Jason B. Rush as First United’s newly appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. We are confident that Jason will continue to advance our mission and uphold our uncommon commitment to exceptional service and comprehensive financial solutions for our clients and communities.”

 

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights:

 

·Net interest margin, on a non-GAAP, fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) basis, was 3.75% for the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting increased loan yields and stable funding costs.

·Strong loan production during the quarter, with $108.0 million in commercial loan originations and $25.3 million in residential mortgage originations, offset by unusually high payoffs in the commercial loan portfolio.

·Provision expense was $0.7 million in the fourth quarter resulting from increased loan growth and increased off-balance sheet loan commitments, partially offset by improved qualitative factors.

·Operating income, including net gains/(losses), for the fourth quarter decreased slightly by $0.1 million when compared to the linked quarter.

·Operating expenses for the fourth quarter increased by $1.9 million when compared to the linked quarter related to a write-down of $1.6 million on a legacy loan participation now residing in other real estate owned (“OREO”).

·A cash dividend of $0.26 per share was declared in the fourth quarter.

 

 

 

 

Income Statement Overview

 

On a GAAP basis, net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $5.8 million, which was inclusive of a $1.2 million, net of tax, write-down on an OREO property and a $0.2 million, net of tax, contracted sale of a retail branch office compared to $6.9 million, which was inclusive of $0.1 million, net of tax, in net gains on sales of investment securities for the third quarter of 2025 and $6.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The write-down was attributable to a legacy participation loan, originated in 2013, that was taken into OREO several years ago. The property is serviced by another lender and, following the cancellation of a previous contract, the Company made the decision, alongside other participants, to entertain a new letter of intent and to mark the property based on the new fair value. Exclusive of these items, net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $7.2 million on a non-GAAP basis.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2024

 

On a GAAP basis, the $0.4 million decrease in quarterly net income when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by increases in provision expense of $0.2 million and non-interest expense of $2.8 million, offset by a $2.3 million increase in net interest income, primarily attributable to disciplined loan and deposit pricing and repricing of adjustable-rate loans and a $0.2 million increase in non-interest income. Interest and fees on loans increased by $1.9 million primarily due to the repricing of adjustable-rate loans and new production booked at higher rates. Quarterly interest expense increased slightly by $0.1 million on a year-over-year basis despite strong growth in deposits. This minimal increase was a result of our strategic focus on reducing deposit costs along with the rate cuts by the Federal Reserve as well as reduced interest expense of $0.3 million on long-term borrowings due to the repayment of a $25.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advance at its maturity in September 2025. Other operating income increased by $0.2 million primarily driven by a $0.4 million increase in wealth management income offset by a $0.2 million increase in net losses on the contracted sale of a retail branch office. Other operating expenses increased by $2.8 million due to a $0.7 million increase in salaries and benefit expenses, a $0.3 million increase in equipment and occupancy expenses, a $0.2 million increase in professional services, and a $1.8 million increase in OREO expenses primarily driven by the $1.6 million fair value write-down discussed above. These increases were partially offset by reductions in investor relations and other miscellaneous expenses, such as miscellaneous loan fees and employee benefits expenses.

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Compared to Third Quarter 2025

 

Compared to the linked quarter, net income decreased by $1.2 million. Net interest income increased by $0.6 million due to an increase in interest and fees on loans of $0.2 million, an increase in interest on Federal Funds sold of $0.2 million, and a decrease of interest expense on long-term borrowings of $0.2 million. Provision for credit losses increased by $0.2 million due to increased loan growth and an increase in unfunded loan commitment balances quarter over quarter. Other operating income decreased by $0.1 million as a result of increases in wealth management income of $0.2 million and debit card income of $0.2 million, offset by a $0.2 million loss on the contracted sale of a retail branch office in the fourth quarter of 2025 and a decrease in other income of $0.1 million. Non-interest expense increased by $1.9 million when comparing the fourth quarter to the linked quarter and was driven by the $1.6 million write-down and related expenses of the OREO property discussed above, slight increases in occupancy, data processing, marketing and professional services, offset by decreased salaries and benefits. Income tax expense decreased by $0.4 million.

 

Year to Date 2025 Compared to Year to Date 2024

 

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net income increased by $3.9 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Net interest income increased by $8.1 million due to an $8.6 million increase in interest and fees on loans resulting from loans repricing at higher rates and new loan production booked at higher rates. Interest expense increased by only $0.7 million despite strong deposit growth, driven by a $1.7 million increase in interest on deposits related to the strong growth in existing balances and new deposit accounts, primarily our money market product, and the purchase of a $50.0 million brokered certificate of deposit in January 2025. Interest expense on long-term borrowings increased by $0.4 million as a result of new borrowings late in the third quarter of 2024. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in short-term borrowing costs of $1.4 million resulting from the repayment of $40.0 million in Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) balances late in the third quarter of 2024. Provision for credit losses decreased by $0.2 million due primarily to strong credit quality, lower charge-offs, and lower loan growth in 2025 when compared to 2024. Other operating income increased by $0.7 million primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in wealth management income driven by strong production. Net gains were stable year over year, as a $0.2 million increase on gains from the sales of residential mortgages and investment securities was offset by a $0.2 million loss on the sale of a retail branch office. These increases were partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in other operating expenses that was attributable to increases of $1.3 million in salaries and employee benefits related to growth of our sales teams, $0.5 million in data processing expenses related to software agreements, $0.2 million in marketing expenses related to increased awareness of our 125th Anniversary, $0.5 million in professional services expenses from increased audit fees, and $1.9 million in net OREO expenses driven by the fair value write-down of $1.6 million as discussed above. These increases were partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in equipment and occupancy expenses as a result of accelerated depreciation expense related to the closure of four branches early in 2024.

 

 

 

 

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2024

 

Net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased by $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was driven by an increase of $2.4 million in interest income due primarily to a $1.9 million increase in interest and fees on loans that resulted from an increase of 26 basis points in the overall yield on the loan portfolio. This increase in yield was attributable to upward repricing of adjustable-rate loans and an increase in average balances of $57.3 million. Interest income on investment securities increased by $0.2 million due to an increase in average balances of $9.9 million and an increase in yield of 17 basis points. The increase in the investment portfolio resulted from management’s strategic decision to reinvest cashflows in the higher rate environment to increase the yield on the portfolio. Interest income from Federal funds sold increased by $0.3 million due to an increase of $31.3 million in average balances, partially offset by a decrease of 30 basis points in average rates. Interest expense increased by $0.1 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Interest expense paid on deposits increased by $0.5 million related to a $107.3 million increase in average balances driven by growth in money market accounts and the purchase of a $50.0 million brokered certificate of deposit in January 2025, partially offset by a decrease of 6 basis points on the rate paid. Interest paid on long-term borrowings decreased by $0.3 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 due to a $25.0 million decrease in average balances related to the repayment of a $25.0 million FHLB advance at its maturity in the third quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 4 basis points on rates paid.

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Compared to Third Quarter 2025

 

Comparing the fourth quarter of 2025 to the third quarter of 2025, net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased by $0.6 million. This increase was driven by a $0.4 million increase in interest income as a result of an increase in interest and fees on loans of $0.2 million, as average loan balances increased by $7.8 million and average yield increased by 1 basis point. Interest income from Federal funds sold increased by $0.2 million due to an increase of $17.1 million in average balances and an increase of 21 basis points in average rates. Cash balances increased during the quarter due to repayment of loans late in the year and loan closings that were anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025 but were delayed until the first quarter of 2026. Interest expense decreased by $0.2 million when compared to the third quarter of 2025. Interest expense paid on deposits was stable as a $38.1 million increase in average balances was partially offset by a decrease of 6 basis points on the rate paid. Interest paid on long-term borrowings decreased by $0.2 million when compared to the third quarter of 2025 due to a $21.7 million decrease in average balances related to the repayment of a $25.0 million FHLB advance at its maturity late in the third quarter, partially offset by an increase of 8 basis points on rates paid.

 

Year to Date 2025 Compared to Year to Date 2024

 

Comparing the year ended December 31, 2025, to the year ended December 31, 2024, net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased by $8.1 million. Interest income increased by $8.8 million driven by an increase of $8.6 million on interest and fees on loans, as average loan balances increased by $68.8 million and the overall yield increased by 31 basis points in correlation with upward repricing of adjustable-rate loans. Interest income on the investment portfolio increased by $0.5 million as a result of reinvesting the cashflow back into the portfolio in an effort to increase the overall yield in the current rate environment. The overall yield on the investment portfolio increased 17 basis points. Interest expense increased by $0.7 million as a result of a $1.7 million increase in interest on deposits, as the average deposit balances increased by $90.0 million, driven by a $70.9 million increase in retail money market average balances and $30.9 million increase in average brokered time deposits, partially offset by decreases in average savings balances of $14.8 million. The overall rate paid on deposits decreased 3 basis points. Interest expense on short-term borrowings decreased by $1.4 million due to the Bank’s utilization of the BTFP program in 2024 and subsequent repayment of the balances due under that program late in the third quarter of 2024. Long-term borrowing costs increased by $0.4 million as a result of an increase of $21.6 million in FHLB average balances due to borrowings obtained in the third quarter of 2024 and subsequent repayment of a $25.0 million advance at its maturity in September 2025, partially offset by a decrease in rate paid of 60 basis points. The net interest margin was 3.67% and 3.38% for the years ending December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Management continues to place a strong focus on margin management as we move into 2026. Higher cash levels at December 31, 2025, should allow us to repay outstanding debt and brokered deposits at their maturities. In January 2026, a $25.0 million brokered certificate of deposit was repaid at its maturity.

 

 

 

 

Non-Interest Income

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2024

 

Other operating income, including net gains, for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased by $0.2 million when compared to the same period of 2024. This increase was driven by a $0.4 million increase in wealth management income, reflecting higher market valuations and expanded relationships with both new and existing clients. This was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in net losses related to the sale of a retail branch office due to the relocation to a more convenient site in Morgantown, WV, to better serve our customers.

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Compared to Third Quarter 2025

 

On a linked quarter basis, other operating income, including net gains, decreased by $0.1 million. A $0.2 million loss on the sale of the retail branch office was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025, and net gains on sales of investment securities decreased by $0.1 million due to a gain on sales of available-for-sale securities recognized in the third quarter of 2025. Wealth management income increased by $0.2 million and debit card income increased by $0.2 million due primarily to the receipt of an annual VISA cash incentive in the fourth quarter of 2025.

 

Year to Date 2025 Compared to Year to Date 2024

 

Other operating income for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $0.7 million when compared to the same period of 2024. This increase was attributable to a $0.7 million increase in wealth management income, driven by improving market conditions, increased annuity sales, and growth in new and existing customer relationships. Net gains were stable year over year, as a $0.2 million increase in gains from the sales of residential mortgages and investment securities was offset by a $0.2 million loss on the sale of a retail office. Service charge and debit card income were both stable when comparing the year ended December 31, 2025 to the same period of 2024.

 

 

 

 

Non-Interest Expense

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2024

 

Operating expenses increased by $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Net OREO expenses increased by $1.8 million as a result of the $1.6 million fair value write-down discussed above and an additional expense of $0.2 million associated with the same OREO property in 2025. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $0.6 million due to a $0.4 million increase in salary expense related to normal merit increases effective April 1, 2025 and increased staffing levels, as we enhanced our sales presence in Morgantown, WV, and a $0.1 million increase in incentive expense, partially offset by decreases in employee life and health insurance expense due to decreased claims. Additionally, occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $0.3 million and professional services increased by $0.2 million.

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Compared to Third Quarter 2025

 

Compared to the linked quarter, operating expenses increased by $1.9 million. Net OREO expenses increased by $1.8 million related to the $1.6 million fair value write-down and an additional expense of $0.2 million associated with the same OREO property in the fourth quarter. Equipment and occupancy expense increased by $0.2 million. These increases were partially offset by a $0.5 reduction in salaries and employee benefits due primarily to reduced incentive expense and reduced health insurance costs on account of decreased claims.

 

Year to Date 2025 Compared to Year to Date 2024

 

For the year ended December 31, 2025, non-interest expense increased by $3.8 million when compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $1.3 million related to normal merit increases effective April 1, 2025, increased salary expense as a result of increased staffing levels as we enhanced our sales presence in Morgantown, WV, increases in incentives, and 401(k) expenses, offset by reduced life and health insurance costs related to reduced claims in 2025. Net OREO expenses increased by $2.0 million due to the previously mentioned fair value write-down and expenses recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025. Data processing expenses increased by $0.5 million due primarily to increased software agreements, and professional services expenses increased by $0.5 million driven by increased audit fees. These increases were partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses related to accelerated depreciation expense related to branch closures that were recognized in the first quarter of 2024.

 

The effective income tax rates as a percentage of income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 remained stable at 24.6% and 24.5%, respectively.

 

Balance Sheet Overview

 

Total assets at December 31, 2025 were $2.1 billion, representing a $114.4 million increase since December 31, 2024. During the year, the investment portfolio increased by $9.5 million as bonds were purchased to lock in yield in anticipation of potential declines in long-term rates. Gross loans increased by $40.9 million as new production during the year was mitigated by amortization and unusually high payoffs in the commercial portfolio. These payoffs were a result of sales of businesses of approximately $10.5 million and approximately $33.5 million related to refinancings and balance sheet restructurings. Other assets, including deferred taxes, premises and equipment, bank owned life insurance, pension assets, accrued trust income receivable, and accrued interest receivable, increased by $13.6 million.

 

Total liabilities at December 31, 2025 were $1.9 billion, representing a $90.1 million increase since December 31, 2024. Total deposits increased by $160.3 million when compared to December 31, 2024. Brokered time deposits increased by $50.0 million as new brokered time deposits were obtained in January 2025 to fund the repayment of the $50.0 million in overnight borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2024. In addition, savings and money market accounts increased by $70.2 million, retail time deposits increased by $7.8 million, and non-interest-bearing deposits increased by $26.3 million. Interest-bearing demand deposits, primarily our IntraFi Cash Service product, increased by $6.0 million due primarily to seasonal fluctuations in municipal deposit accounts. Short-term borrowings decreased by $47.7 million due to the purchase of the brokered time deposit mentioned above, which was partially offset by increases in the overnight investment sweep product. Long-term borrowings decreased by $25.0 million due to the full repayment of a matured $25.0 million FHLB borrowing in September 2025.

 

Outstanding loans of $1.5 billion at December 31, 2025 reflected a $40.9 million increase since December 31, 2024.

At December 31, 2025, there were 6,499,476 basic outstanding shares of common stock and 6,511,358 diluted outstanding shares of common stock. The increase in the book value at December 31, 2025 was primarily due to the undistributed net income of $18.3 million. The Board of Directors of the Corporation increased the quarterly dividend to $0.26 per share in the third quarter of 2025.

 

 

 

 

Asset Quality

 

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $19.5 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $18.2 million at December 31, 2024. The provision for credit losses was $0.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to $0.5 million for both of the quarters ended December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025. Provision for credit losses was $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decreased provision expense in 2025 was primarily related to charge-offs in our commercial and consumer loan portfolios during 2024, partially offset by growth in our loan portfolio and an increase of $18.7 million in unfunded loan commitments during 2025. Asset quality remained strong during the fourth quarter of 2025. The ratio of the ACL to loans outstanding remained stable at 1.28% at both December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 and 1.23% at December 31, 2024.

 

The ratio of net charge offs to average loans was 0.07% for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 0.16% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The commercial and industrial portfolio had net charge offs of 0.33% and 0.50% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due primarily to charge offs on one non-accrual commercial relationship. The acquisition and development portfolio had net recoveries of 0.33% and 0.06% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This shift was due primarily to recoveries recognized in 2025 related to one relationship previously charged off in 2016 as additional collateral was brought into OREO in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in net charge offs in consumer loans in 2025 was primarily driven by approximately $0.3 million in charge offs of demand deposit balances during the first quarter of 2024. Details of the ratios, by loan type, are shown below. Our special assets team continues to actively collect on charged-off loans, resulting in overall low net charge-off ratios.

 

Ratio of Net (Charge Offs)/Recoveries to Average Loans

   12/31/2025   12/31/2024 
Loan Type  (Charge Off) / Recovery   (Charge Off) / Recovery 
Commercial Real Estate   0.00%   0.02%
Acquisition & Development   0.33%   0.06%
Commercial & Industrial   (0.33)%   (0.50)%
Residential Mortgage   0.00%   0.01%
Consumer   (0.88)%   (1.76)%
Total Net (Charge Offs)/Recoveries   (0.07)%   (0.16)%

 

Non-accrual loans totaled $4.2 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in non-accrual balances at December 31, 2025 was due to principal paydowns and the charge-off of $0.6 million related to a non-accrual commercial and industrial relationship that was recorded during the second half of 2025.

 

Non-accrual loans that have been subject to partial charge-offs totaled $0.2 million and $0.7 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.  Loans secured by 1-4 family residential real estate properties in the process of foreclosure totaled $0.5 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As a percentage of the loan portfolio, accruing loans past due 30 days or more were 0.32% at both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)

Reconciliation of as reported (GAAP) and non-GAAP financial measures

 

The following tables below provide a reconciliation of certain financial measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) (as reported) and non-GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company’s management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a greater understanding of the Company’s operating results in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP. While management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance, this information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

The following non-GAAP financial measures exclude net gains on sale of investment securities, losses on disposal of fixed assets and write-downs of other real estate owned (“OREO”) in 2025 and accelerated depreciation expenses related to the branch closures in 2024.

38 This presentation includes certain non - GAAP financial measures, including pre - provision net revenue, net income, earnings per share (basic and diluted), return on average assets, return on average tangible common equity, tangible common equity, tangible assets, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible book value per share, net interest margin, and efficiency ratio . These non - GAAP financial measures and any other non - GAAP financial measures that are discussed in this presentation should not be considered in isolation, and should be considered as additions to, and not substitutes for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP . There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non - GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents .
