▪Net income for the quarter was $2.27 million, representing a $1.90 million or 45.58% decrease from $4.17 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily the result of a reduction in interest income related to a lower interest rate environment.

During these uncertain times our institution has maintained strong loan and deposit balances seeing increases in both during the period. During the third quarter we successfully expanded our footprint by opening a branch in the city of Mendota. We look forward to continuing to serve our communities during these challenging times."

Results of Operations

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $5,238,000 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease was due to a reduction in interest income, a result of a decrease in yields, and the provision for credit losses recorded during the current year. ROAE for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 7.93%, compared to 14.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. ROAA was 0.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 1.70% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The annualized average cost of deposits was 0.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease from 0.43% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in the cost of deposits is primarily attributed to reductions on deposit rates made in the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020. Average interest-bearing deposits increased 0.01% between the periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2020 from $523,104,000 to $523,136,000.

Net interest income after the provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $21,487,000, a decrease of $6,616,000, or 23.54%, from $28,103,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2019. Net interest income after the provision for credit losses includes a provision for credit losses of $2,138,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a provision of $15,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark rate by 1.50%. As a result, the Prime rate decreased from 4.75% to 3.25%. A majority of the Company's floating rate loans and investments are indexed to the Prime rate. The Company's net interest margin decreased from 4.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 3.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was the result of decreases in yields on overnight fed funds, loans, and investment securities, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense. The yield on loans decreased from 5.98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 4.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The yield on interest bearing liabilities decreased from 0.76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 0.45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Net interest income after the provision for credit losses was $7,464,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, representing a $1,887,000 or 20.18% decrease compared to the same period ended September 30, 2019. The Company's net interest margin decreased from 4.17% to 2.97% between the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2020. The reduction in net interest margin is driven by the reduction in yields on all interest earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on deposits.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $4,706,000, reflecting a decrease of $399,000 from the $5,105,000 in non-interest income reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Customer service fees totaled $2,014,000 and $2,479,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in customer service fees is attributed to lower fees and surcharges related to insufficient funds and electronic transfers recognized during the year. On a year-over-year comparative basis, non-interest income recorded a decrease of $120,000 in the gain on the fair value of junior subordinated debentures (TRUPs) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $1,451,000, compared to a $1,571,000 gain for the same period ended September 30, 2019. The change in the fair value of TRUPs reflected in noninterest income was caused by fluctuations in the LIBOR yield curve. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes a $310,000 gain in proceeds from bank-owned life insurance.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 totaled $911,000, reflecting a decrease of $942,000 from the $1,853,000 in non-interest income reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is attributed to a $171,000 decrease in customer service fees and a $678,000 decrease in the gain on fair value of TRUPs. The change in the fair value of TRUPs reflected in noninterest income was caused by fluctuations in the LIBOR yield curve. The decrease in customer service fees is primarily the result of lower fees and surcharges related to insufficient funds and electronic transfers.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, noninterest expense totaled $16,355,000, an increase of $412,000 compared to $15,943,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. On a year-over-year comparative basis, non-interest expense increased primarily due to a $745,000 increase in expenses related to other real estate owned, which included a write-down of $727,000 on one property. This was partially offset by decreases of $442,000 in professional fees and decreases of $176,000 in salaries and employee benefits. Salary and employee benefits expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes a $231,000 reduction in bonus expense. Also included in net cost on operation and sale of OREO for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is a $113,000 loss on sale. The decrease in professional fees is attributed to a reduction in legal expense.

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 totaled $5,210,000, a decrease of $125,000 as compared to $5,335,000 reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. On a quarter-over-quarter comparative basis, non-interest expense decreased due to a $140,000 decrease in professional fees and a $53,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense, partially offset by increases of $158,000 in regulatory assessments and $58,000 in occupancy expense.

The efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased to 57.73%, compared to 47.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is attributed to a reduction in net interest income as a result of the balance sheet repricing in a lower rate environment, a decrease in customer service fees, and an increase in OREO expense.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $2,800,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $4,989,000 for the same period in 2019. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 28.46%, compared to 28.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $894,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1,696,000 for the same period in 2019. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was 28.25%, compared to 28.90% for the same period ended September 30, 2019.

Provided at the end of this Press Release is a reconciliation of Core Net Income, as a non-GAAP measure, to Net Income. This reconciliation excludes Non-Core items such as the Fair Value Adjustment for TRUPs and gain or loss on sale of other

real estate owned (OREO). Management believes that financial results are more comparative excluding the impact of such non-core items.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets increased $177,028,000, or 18.50%, between September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, due primarily to increases of $64,108,000 in gross loan balances and $11,694,000 in investment securities. Total cash and cash equivalents increased $104,337,000 between December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020. Unfunded loan commitments increased from $197,559,000 at December 31, 2019 to $204,522,000 at September 30, 2020. OREO balances decreased from $6,753,000 at December 31, 2019 to $5,018,000 at September 30, 2020. The reduction is attributed to the sale of one OREO property during the first quarter and a $727,000 write down on OREO in the second quarter.

Total deposits increased $176,421,000, or 21.56%, to $994,783,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was due to an increase of $118,078,000 in noninterest bearing deposits, $45,771,000 in NOW and money market accounts, and $14,390,000 in savings accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $1,818,000 in time deposits. In total, NOW, money market and savings accounts increased 13.64% to $501,173,000 at September 30, 2020, compared to $441,012,000 at December 31, 2019. Noninterest bearing deposits increased 37.85% to $430,028,000 at September 30, 2020, compared to $311,950,000 at December 31, 2019. As a result of the net increase, core deposits, which is made up of the balance of noninterest bearing deposits, NOW, money market, savings, and time deposits accounts less than $250,000, increased $174,692,000.

Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2020 was $118,053,000, an increase of $2,065,000 from shareholders’ equity of $115,988,000 at December 31, 2019. The increase in equity was the result of net earnings for the period, partially offset by cash dividends. At September 30, 2020 there was an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $320,000, as compared to an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $632,000 at December 31, 2019. The change from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 was the result of unrealized gains on available for sale securities, partially offset by losses on junior subordinated debentures (TRUPs) caused by a change in non-LIBOR yields during the period.

The Board of Directors of United Security Bancshares declared a cash dividend on common stock of $0.11 per share on September 22, 2020. The dividend will be payable on October 16, 2020, to shareholders of record as of October 6, 2020. No assurances can be provided that future dividends will be declared and/or as to the timing of such future dividends, if any.

Credit Quality

The Company has recorded a provision for credit losses of $2,138,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a provision of $15,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Net loan charge-offs totaled $1,338,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to net loan charge-offs of $180,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The provision recorded during the year is attributed to growth of the loan portfolio, increases in net charge-offs, and adjustment in qualitative factors related to the economic uncertainties caused by COVID-19. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had executed 23 payment deferrals or modifications on outstanding loan balances of $69,814,000 in connection with the COVID-19 relief provided by the CARES Act and interagency guidance issued in March 2020. These deferrals were generally no more than six months in duration and were not considered troubled debt restructurings. The Company recorded a provision for credit loss of $4,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to a provision of $5,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

The Company's allowance for loan loss totaled 1.32% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2020, compared to 1.33% at December 31, 2019. Excluding the SBA PPP loans, which are fully government guaranteed, the allowance for loan loss totaled 1.37% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2020.

Non-performing assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructures (TDRs), other real estate owned through foreclosure (OREO), and loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest, decreased $3,010,000 between December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020 to $18,215,000. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreased from 2.22% at December 31, 2019 to 1.61% at September 30, 2020. The decrease in nonperforming assets is primarily attributed to the reduction in OREO that occurred during the period. Additionally, restructured loans decreased $616,000 between December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, and nonaccrual loans decreased $162,000 between December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020 to $11,535,000. OREO balances decreased from $6,753,000 at December 31, 2019 to $5,018,000 at September 30, 2020.
