Union Bankshares, Inc. First Quarter 2022 Report to Shareholders distributed May 5, 2022. | |||||
Exhibit 99.1

| May 5, 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We are pleased to report our financial results for the first quarter of 2022. Consolidated net income for the first quarter was $2.5 million, or $0.55 per share compared to $2.9 million, or $0.64 cents per share, for the same period in 2021, a decrease of 13.7%. There were two primary reasons for the decrease in net income. As the SBA PPP program continues to run its course, outstanding balances of PPP loans have decreased due to forgiveness which has resulted in a reduction of fee income related to PPP loans of $381 thousand year over year. Second, gains on sales of real estate loans were sharply lower as long-term interest rates increased sharply in response to high inflation. Loans already in our pipeline with interest rates committed saw premiums reduced, causing management to elect to hold these loans in the portfolio rather than sustain losses on sales. This should be a temporary phenomenon as rates charged going forward are reflective of the current interest rate environment with interest rates stabilizing at new, higher levels. Asset quality remains strong as no provision for loan losses was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $150 thousand for the comparable quarter in 2021. All our commercial borrowers have exited pandemic related payment modifications and all but four of our residential customers have done the same. Total assets were $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2022, compared to $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2021, an increase of $129.2 million, or 11.7%. Asset growth continued to be fueled by increases in customer deposits that were reinvested into investment securities and into our communities through loans to individuals, businesses, and municipalities. Investment securities reached $287.6 million on March 31, 2022, compared to $157.8 million on March 31, 2021. The $129.8 million increase was caused by using low yielding excess liquidity to purchase higher yielding investments, primarily US Government Agency mortgage-backed securities. Since the settlement of these purchases, interest rates increased rapidly resulting in unrealized losses of $22.1 million in the securities portfolio as of March 31, 2022. The offset to recording the unrealized losses was an increase in deferred taxes included in other assets and | accumulated comprehensive losses of $17.5 million included in total equity. The Company had total equity capital of $69.4 million and a book value per share of $15.45 as of March 31, 2022, compared to $79.8 million and $17.81 per share as of March 31, 2021. The reduction in book value per share is the result of the unrealized loss on the investment portfolio and does not impact regulatory capital ratios. Total loans outstanding as of March 31, 2022, were $831.0 million compared to $841.7 million as of March 31, 2021. The decrease in total loans was due to a reduction in pandemic related SBA PPP loans of $70.4 million and a reduction in $10.8 million in municipal loans. The pandemic related SBA PPP loans were designed to be short term in nature and have been forgiven in accordance with the PPP program. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $40.3 million in commercial real estate loans and $29.9 million in residential loans. Excluding SBA PPP loans forgiven, loan growth quarter over quarter was 7.8%. We live in interesting times. Inflation is higher than it has been in decades, causing pain at the fuel pump and grocery stores. Russia has invaded Ukraine, causing senseless human carnage with more to come, sadly. The Federal Reserve meets on May 3rd and 4th, surely bringing us higher short term interest rates with hopes of a soft economic landing. Supply chains remain challenged, as do labor and housing markets. Yet here in Northern New England we anxiously await spring and its green leaves and flowers with another excellent maple season wrapped up. Despite the current uncertainty, we are confident facing the future and what it brings. We are pleased to announce that the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.35 per share for the quarter payable May 5, 2022, to shareholders of record as of April 30, 2022. Sincerely, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
