EXHIBIT INDEX


Exhibit 99.1			Union Bankshares, Inc. Third Quarter 2025 Report to Shareholders distributed November 6, 2025.

Exhibit 99.1

November 6, 2025

I am pleased to present Union Bankshares Inc.’s financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Our net interest margin continues to strengthen quarter over quarter, driven by the increase in higher-yielding assets and the runoff of lower-yielding ones. This, coupled with a focus on growing core deposits to replace wholesale funding, is helping our financial performance. We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of bankers executing our game plan and the trust of our growing customer base.

Consolidated net income reached $3.4 million for the third quarter and $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.3 million and $5.8 million for the same periods in 2024. Last year’s results were impacted by the strategic balance sheet repositioning which included the sale of $38.8 million in lower-yielding debt securities for a pre-tax realized loss of $1.3 million.

Total assets grew to $1.57 billion, up from $1.52 billion a year ago. Loan growth was a key driver, with loans increasing 5.1% to $1.18 billion. Investment securities rose 6.4% to $262.4 million, while federal funds sold and overnight deposits declined 28.6%, reflecting strategic liquidity management.

Asset quality remains strong. The allowance for credit losses on loans increased 14.0% over the comparison period, driven by loan growth and proactive risk management. Management continues to monitor macroeconomic indicators and adjust reserves as needed.

We originated and sold $46.0 million in qualifying residential loans to the secondary market this quarter, and $102.8 million year-to-date, compared to $35.2 million and $76.1 million for the same periods last year.

Total deposits were $1.19 billion, including purchased brokered deposits of $65.3 million. Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $270.8 million, up from $230.7 million last year.

Shareholders equity strengthened, with book value per share rising 6.1% to $16.95 and retained earnings increasing 5.3% to $95.1 million.

Net interest income was $11.2 million, up 18.3% from last year. Interest income increased 11.7% to $19.2 million, while interest expense rose 3.7% to $8.1 million. Noninterest income was $3.4 million, and noninterest expenses increased 9.9% to $10.3 million

As autumn transitions to winter in northern Vermont and New Hampshire, our region continues to benefit from robust tourism, with local businesses, inns, and restaurants seeing excellent traffic. While locals may consider this year’s foliage viewing average, it has done little to dampen the enthusiasm of visitors from near and far.

This coupled with a beautiful sunshine filled autumn has led to a banner Fall Foliage tourism season. The nearly constant sunny days from midsummer through fall have caused a localized drought worrying residents about their water wells and springs. This has also greatly impacted local agriculture, particularly those involved in the dairy industry. As always, we are dependent on weather in so many ways. Generally, despite some economic uncertainty, our region’s economy remains sound and our asset quality is evidence of this.

We are pleased to inform you that your Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.36 per share, payable November 6, 2025, to shareholders of record as of October 25, 2025.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Sincerely,
