United Bankshares, Inc. Announces Record Earnings for the Second Quarter of 2026
July 23, 2026
United Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBSI) (“United”), today reported record earnings for the second quarter of 2026 of $131.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted share. Second quarter of 2026 results produced annualized returns on average assets, average shareholders’ equity, and average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, of 1.56%, 9.53%, and 15.15%, respectively.
“We delivered record results in the second quarter, and our consistent and disciplined approach to managing our Company’s affairs continues to pay dividends,” stated Richard M. Adams, Jr., United’s Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to continued growth in the second half of the year.”
Earnings for the first quarter of 2026 were $124.2 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, and annualized returns on average assets, average shareholders’ equity, and average tangible common equity were 1.49%, 9.08%, and 14.40%, respectively. Earnings for the second quarter of 2025 were $120.7 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, and annualized returns on average assets, average shareholders’ equity, and average tangible common equity were 1.49%, 9.05%, and 14.67%, respectively.
Second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026
Earnings for the second quarter of 2026 were $131.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, as compared to earnings of $124.2 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026.
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $285.3 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 1%, from the first quarter of 2026. Fully tax-equivalent net interest income, a non-GAAP measure which adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments, also increased $2.8 million, or 1%, from the first quarter of 2026. The net interest margin was 3.81% and 3.80% for the second quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2026, respectively. The interest spread for the second quarter of 2026 increased 1 basis point to 3.07% from the first quarter of 2026 due to a 3 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds partially offset by a 2 basis point decrease in the yield on average earning assets. The decrease in the average cost of funds was primarily due to a 2 basis point decrease in the rate paid on average interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in the yield on average earning assets was driven by a 6 basis point decrease in the yield on average net loans and loans held for sale partially offset by a 19 basis point increase in the yield on average investment securities. Acquired loan accretion income was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $2.5 million from the first quarter of 2026 which contributed to an approximately 4 basis point decrease in the interest spread and in the net interest margin. The increase in the yield on average investment securities reflects United’s strategic purchases of higher yielding investment securities throughout 2026.
The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2026 was $5.0 million as compared to $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2026. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2026 reflected $5.1 million of net charge-offs and a relatively flat allowance for loan & lease losses from the prior quarter-end. The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2026 reflected $5.7 million of net charge-offs and a $2.1 million increase in the allowance for loan & lease losses from the prior quarter-end.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $38.5 million, an increase of $4.4 million, or 13%, from the first quarter of 2026 driven by a $2.7 million increase in other noninterest income and smaller increases in several other categories of noninterest income. The increase in other noninterest income was primarily due to higher market values of underlying investments associated with postretirement benefit plans, which was largely offset by an increase in postretirement benefit costs recorded in noninterest expense as described below. Additionally, net gains on investment securities of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2026 included a $5.9 million gain as a result of the sale of an unaffiliated company in which United held an investment that was recorded within other investment securities, a $5.7 million gain from a VISA share exchange, and $1.0 million in unrealized fair value gains on equity securities. The gain on the VISA share exchange included $1.8 million that was realized through the sale of eligible shares and the remainder of which related to shares held at fair value at quarter-end and which are eligible to be sold in the third quarter of 2026. Partially offsetting these gains on investment securities was a $9.7 million loss on the sale of $81.0 million of available for sale (“AFS”) investment securities. Net gains on investment securities of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2026 were primarily due to gains on sales of equity securities.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $154.7 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 1%, from the first quarter of 2026. The increase in noninterest expense was driven by a $3.1 million increase in employee compensation partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in the expense for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. The increase in employee compensation was primarily due to the timing of annual salary increases, stock-based compensation costs, and employee incentives. The decrease in the expense for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments reflected a smaller increase in outstanding loan commitments during the second quarter of 2026 as compared with the increase during the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, employee benefits were $16.3 million for the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $16.0 million for the first quarter of 2026 as an increase in employee benefits driven by higher postretirement benefit costs and higher health insurance expenses was largely offset by a decrease in Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) costs.
For the second quarter of 2026, income tax expense was $32.8 million as compared to $31.8 million for the first quarter of 2026. This increase in income tax expense was driven by the impact of higher earnings partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. United’s effective tax rate was 20.0% and 20.4% for the second quarter of 2026 and first quarter of 2026, respectively.
Second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025
Earnings for the second quarter of 2026 were $131.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, as compared to earnings of $120.7 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025.
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 increased $10.8 million, or 4%, from the second quarter of 2025. Fully tax-equivalent net interest income also increased $10.8 million, or 4%, from the second quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest income and fully tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily due to a lower rate paid on average interest-bearing deposits and an increase in average net loans and loans held for sale. These increases to net interest income and fully tax-equivalent net interest income were partially offset by a lower yield on average net loans and loans held for sale and an increase in average interest-bearing deposits. The rate paid on average interest-bearing deposits decreased 38 basis points from the second quarter of 2025. Average net loans and loans held for sale increased $970.6 million, or 4%, from the second quarter of 2025. The yield on average net loans and loans held for sale decreased 27 basis points from the second quarter of 2025. Acquired loan accretion income decreased $6.8 million from the second quarter of 2025. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $900.5 million, or 5%, from the second quarter of 2025. The net interest margin was 3.81% for both the second quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025.
The provision for credit losses was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2025.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2026 increased $7.0 million, or 22%, from the second quarter of 2025 driven by increases in net gains on investment securities of $2.4 million, other noninterest income of $1.9 million, and fees from brokerage services of $1.9 million. Net gains on investment securities for the second quarter of 2026 of $2.8 million included the aforementioned gain as a result of the sale of an unaffiliated company in which United held an investment, the VISA share exchange gain, and unrealized fair value gains on equity securities. Partially offsetting these gains on investment securities was a loss on the sale of AFS investment securities. The increase in other noninterest income was primarily due to higher market values of underlying investments associated with postretirement benefit plans. The increase in fees from brokerage services was primarily due to higher volume driven by growth in the business.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2026 increased $6.7 million, or 5%, from the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in employee compensation and a $2.9 million increase in employee benefits. The increase in employee compensation was primarily due to higher salaries, brokerage commissions, employee incentives, and stock-based compensation costs. The increase in employee benefits was primarily due to higher postretirement benefit costs. Additionally, smaller increases in several other categories of noninterest expense were largely offset by a $1.2 million decrease in other noninterest expense. Other noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 included $961 thousand of merger-related expenses related to the acquisition of Atlanta-based Piedmont Bancorp, Inc. (“Piedmont”), which was completed on January 10, 2025.
For the second quarter of 2026, income tax expense was $32.8 million as compared to $31.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. This increase in income tax expense was driven by the impact of higher earnings partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. United’s effective tax rate was 20.0% and 20.6% for the second quarter of 2026 and second quarter of 2025, respectively.
First half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025
Earnings for the first half of 2026 were $255.6 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, as compared to earnings of $205.0 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, for the first half of 2025.
Net interest income for the first half of 2026 was $567.8 million, an increase of $33.2 million, or 6%, from the first half of 2025. Fully tax-equivalent net interest income also increased $33.2 million, or 6%, from the first half of 2025. The increase in net interest income and fully tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average net loans and loans held for sale and a lower rate paid on average interest-bearing deposits. These increases to net interest income and fully tax-equivalent net interest income were partially offset by a lower yield on average net loans and loans held for sale and an increase in average interest-bearing deposits. Average net loans and loans held for sale increased $1.2 billion, or 5%, from the first half of 2025. The rate paid on average interest-bearing deposits decreased 37 basis points from the first half of 2025. The yield on average net loans and loans held for sale decreased 17 basis points from the first half of 2025. Acquired loan accretion income decreased $5.3 million from the first half of 2025. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $1.1 billion, or 6%, from the first half of 2025. The net interest margin was 3.80% and 3.75% for the first half of 2026 and the first half of 2025, respectively.
The provision for credit losses was $12.7 million for the first half of 2026. The provision for credit losses was $35.0 million for the first half of 2025, which included $18.7 million of provision recorded on purchased non-credit deteriorated (“non-PCD”) loans from Piedmont.
Noninterest income for the first half of 2026 increased $11.6 million, or 19%, from the first half of 2025 driven by increases in net gains on investment securities of $4.1 million, fees from brokerage services of $3.7 million, and other noninterest income of $2.7 million. Net gains on investment securities for the first half of 2026 included the gain as a result of the sale of an unaffiliated company in which United held an investment, the VISA share exchange gain, unrealized fair value gains on equity securities, and a gain on the sale of equity securities. Partially offsetting these gains on investment securities was a loss on the sale of AFS investment securities. The increase in fees from brokerage services was primarily due to higher volume driven by growth in the business. The increase in other noninterest income was primarily due to higher market values of underlying investments associated with postretirement benefit plans.
Noninterest expense for the first half of 2026 was $307.5 million while noninterest expense was $301.6 million for the first half of 2025, which included $12.6 million in merger-related expenses. The increase in noninterest expense was driven by a $6.2 million increase in employee compensation, a $5.6 million increase in employee benefits, a $1.2 million increase in the expense for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, and smaller increases in several other categories of noninterest expense. These increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a $6.4 million decrease in other noninterest expense, a $2.3 million decrease in data processing, and smaller decreases in several other categories of noninterest expense. The increase in employee compensation was primarily due to higher brokerage commissions, employee incentives, salaries, and stock-based compensation costs. Employee compensation for the first half of 2025 included $1.5 million in merger-related expenses. The increase in employee benefits was primarily due to higher postretirement benefit and FICA costs. The expense for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments for the first half of 2026 of $2.1 million was primarily due to an increase in outstanding loan commitments. The expense for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments for the first half of 2025 of $909 thousand included $4.1 million in merger-related expense from the acquisition. Other noninterest expense for the first half of 2025 included $7.0 million of merger-related expenses. The decrease in data processing was primarily due to technology contract renegotiations.
For the first half of 2026, income tax expense was $64.6 million as compared to $54.0 million for the first half of 2025. This increase in income tax expense was driven by the impact of higher earnings partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. United’s effective tax rate was 20.2% and 20.9% for the first half of 2026 and first half of 2025, respectively.

Cautionary Statements
The Company is required under generally accepted accounting principles to evaluate subsequent events through the filing of its June 30, 2026 consolidated financial statements on Form 10-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 June 30, 2026 and will adjust amounts preliminarily reported, if necessary.
Use of non-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 these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how United’s management evaluates its performance internally and these non-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 as fully tax-equivalent (FTE) net interest income, average tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, and tangible book value per share. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures to be helpful in understanding United’s results of operations or financial position.
Net interest income, the yield on earning assets, yield on investment securities, net interest margin, and interest spread are presented in this press release on a fully tax-equivalent basis. The fully tax-equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. Although these are non-GAAP measures, United’s management believes these measures are more widely used within the financial services industry and provide better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources and additional insight into the net interest margin by adjusting for differences in tax treatment of interest income sources. United uses this measure to monitor net interest income performance, net interest margin and yields on earning assets and investment securities and to manage its balance sheet composition. The tax-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 common 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 shareholders’ equity are presented. These measures, along with others, are used by management to analyze capital adequacy and performance.
Where non-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 these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies. These non-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.
