Exhibit 99.1

February 5, 2026

As we open 2026 with a great beginning to the winter season across our communities, I’m pleased to share results that reflect the resilience of our bank and the discipline of our team. Our performance in 2025 demonstrates that we are executing against our long-term strategy while serving customers and neighbors with consistency and care.

For the full year 2025, Union Bankshares delivered consolidated net income of $11.1 million, or $2.43 per share, up from $8.8 million, or $1.94 per share, in 2024—a year that included a strategic bond sale resulting in a pre-tax loss of $1.3 million to reposition the balance sheet for future earnings. Fourth quarter 2025 net income was $2.7 million versus $3.0 million in the same period of 2024, reflecting higher noninterest expenses partially offset by stronger net interest income, higher noninterest income, and lower credit loss expense.

Top-line momentum remained healthy. Interest income rose to $75.8 million in 2025 from $68.0 million in 2024, driven by a larger earning asset base and higher yields, while interest expense increased to $32.8 million from $29.6 million. Together, these shifts produced a $4.7 million, or 12.1%, improvement in net

interest income year over year. Credit loss expense declined to $774 thousand from $930 thousand, consistent with portfolio mix and performance. Noninterest income reached $11.5 million, supported by mortgage banking gains of $2.1 million, compared

to $1.7 million in 2024, alongside continued strength in core fee categories. As we invested in talent and capabilities, noninterest expenses rose to $41.7 million from $38.0 million, reflecting higher salaries and benefits as well as occupancy and equipment costs.

Our balance sheet remains a source of strength. Total assets ended the year at $1.62 billion, up 5.8% from $1.52 billion in 2024. We prudently increased investment securities to $328.3 million from $252.3 million, pre-investing expected cash flows late in the year. Loans grew modestly to $1.2 billion, tempered

by robust secondary-market sales of qualifying mortgages totaling $143.5 million, up from $113.5 million in 2024. Asset quality remains solid; the allowance for credit losses increased to $8.4 million from $7.7 million as we continually calibrate for risk. Total deposits were $1.21 billion, including $10.2 million of brokered deposits, and we utilized $286.5 million in FHLB advances to effectively manage funding and liquidity.

Stockholders’ equity strengthened meaningfully. Book value per share increased 19.7% to $17.53 from $14.65, aided by retained earnings of $96.2 million, growth in additional paid-in capital to $4.6 million following sales of 56,260 shares (net proceeds of $1.2 million), and an improved accumulated other comprehensive loss position of $25.9 million versus $34.0 million in 2024. Reflecting our continued commitment to returning capital, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share, payable February 5, 2026 to shareholders of record as of January 31, 2026.

The early winter has brought a welcome lift to many local businesses and households, and we are encouraged by the constructive tone we’re seeing in our markets. While we will navigate the same uncertainties as our industry peers, our strong credit culture, careful balance-sheet positioning, and deep community relationships give us confidence that the positive trends we saw in 2025 can continue.

Thank you for your continued trust and investment in Union Bankshares. We enter the new year with momentum, a clear strategy, and a shared commitment to delivering long-term value—for our customers, communities, employees, and you, our owners.

Sincerely,
