Exhibit 99.1

On April 21, 2021, United Bancshares, Inc. issued the following release:

United Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: UBOH – news), a financial holding company headquartered in Columbus Grove, Ohio with consolidated assets of $1.0 billion today announced operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, unaudited.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation reported net income of $4,117,000, or $1.26 basic earnings per share. This compares to the first quarter of 2020 net income of $1,088,000, or $0.33 basic earnings per share. The increase in operating results for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $1,531,000 (21.5%), an increase in non-interest income of $2,907,000 (102.6%), and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $250,000 (45.5%), offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of $896,000 (10.9%), and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $763,000. The increase in net interest income resulted from Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, including fees of $870,000, as well as a decrease in interest expense of $1,273,000 resulting from lower rates on deposits and a decrease of $51.0 million in borrowings year over year.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, non-interest income was $5,741,000, compared to $2,834,000 for the first quarter of 2020, a $2,907,000 increase. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to increases in gain on sales of loans of $1,993,000 (77.2%), and an increase in other non-interest income of $919,000, offset by a loss on securities of $5,000. The significant increase in gain on sale of loans was attributable to an increase in loan activity by the residential mortgage operations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, there were 460 loans sold totaling $117.6 million, compared to 268 loans sold totaling $63.1 million during the same period of 2020. The increase in other non-interest income was primarily related to a $583,000 increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, and fluctuations in income from the Corporation’s loan hedging program of $284,000. The increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights resulted from a decrease in prepayment speeds.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, non-interest expenses were $9,106,000, compared to $8,210,000 for the first quarter of 2020, an $896,000 (10.9%) increase.  The significant quarter-over-quarter increases include salaries and benefits expense of $384,000 (8.0%), loan fees of $181,000 (57.6%), equipment service expense of $123,000, depreciation expense of $64,000 (26.8%), examination and auditing expense of $56,000 (41.2%).

Total assets amounted to $1.0 billion at March 31, 2021, compared to $978.5 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $48.4 million (4.9%). The increase in total assets was primarily the result of increases of $40.9 million (71.6%) in cash and cash equivalents, $5.9 million (3.0%) in securities available-for-sale, and $2.0 million in net loans. Deposits during this same period increased $50.2 million (6.0%). Deposit balances have been positively impacted by the Corporation’s participation in the Paycheck Protection Loan Program.

Shareholders’ equity increased from $111.6 million at December 31, 2020 to $112.1 million at March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily the result of net income during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 of $4,117,000, offset by a decrease in unrealized securities gains, net of tax of $3,265,000, and dividends paid of $525,000. The decrease in unrealized securities gains during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was attributable to increasing long term treasury yields.  Net unrealized gains and losses on securities are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.

United Bancshares, Inc. is the holding company of The Union Bank Company which serves Allen, Delaware, Franklin, Hancock, Marion, Paulding, Putnam, Sandusky, Van Wert and Wood Counties in Ohio, with office locations in Bowling Green, Columbus Grove, Delaware, Delphos, Findlay, Gahanna, Gibsonburg, Kalida, Leipsic, Lima, Marion, Ottawa, Paulding, Pemberville, Plymouth and Westerville Ohio.

This release may contain certain forward-looking statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance.  However, such performance involves risk and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the strength of the local economies in which operations are conducted, the effects of and changes in policies and laws of regulatory agencies, inflation, and interest rates.  For further discussion of certain factors that may cause such forward-looking statements to differ materially from actual results, refer to the 2020 Form 10-K.

Exhibit 99.2

United Bancshares, Inc.

Quarterly Report

March 31, 2021

Shareholders, Clients and Team Members:

I am pleased to inform you that your Company is off to a solid start in 2021. Despite the current unparalleled operating environment, your Company recorded pre-tax income of $5.0 million for the first three months of 2021, compared to $1.2 million for the same period of 2020. In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $0.17 per common share dividend, which was a 6.25% increase from last quarter and amounted to approximately 13.5% of net income for the first quarter.

During the first quarter, team members were once again focused on delivering funds to those in our communities through the third round of Paycheck Protection Program funding. Those efforts provided $48.4 million in funding to more than 1,200 organizations generating $3.8 million in loan fees to the Company. The Company realized $870,000 in loan fees during the first quarter, which increased interest income. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $3.4 million in unrealized loan fees remaining from this program.

The Company’s first quarter earnings were also positively impacted by continued strength in our residential mortgage originations. The Company sold $117.6 million in residential mortgage loans, which generated $4.6 million in gain on sale of loans, an increase of $2.0 million (77.2%) from the same period in 2020. Additionally, other non-interest income was increased by a $583,000 increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights as the result of a decrease in prepayment speeds at the end of the quarter.

The aforementioned results and the Company’s continued successes are only possible because of the ongoing dedication of the Company’s committed team members and Board of Directors in implementing our Strategic Plan. Their efforts and our strong corporate values of respect for and accountability to our shareholders, clients, colleagues, and communities are the foundation for the continued success of your Company.

As always, we greatly appreciate your continued support and the trust you have placed in us.

Respectfully,

Brian D. Young

President and CEO

* Some of the financial measures included in this press release are not measures of financial performance recognized by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible book value, return on average tangible equity, net interest margin (tax-equivalent), and the efficiency ratio. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of its performance, and believes financial analysts and investors frequently use these measures, and other similar measures, to evaluate capital adequacy. Reconciliations of non-GAAP disclosures used in this press release to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying table. Management, as well as regulators, financial analysts and other investors may use these measures in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, which typically stem from the use of the purchase accounting method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total shareholders’ equity, total assets, book value per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
