Strong Loan Growth and Margin Expansion Drive Higher Revenue and EPS

GREENVILLE, S.C., Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Community Banks, Inc. (NYSE: UCB) (United) today announced net income for the third quarter of 2025 of $91.5 million and pre-tax, pre-provision income of $126.0 million. Diluted earnings per share of $0.70 for the quarter represented an increase of $0.32 from the third quarter a year ago and an increase of $0.07 from the second quarter. Note that the third quarter of 2024 included losses from the sale of United’s manufactured housing loan portfolio.

On an operating basis, United’s diluted earnings per share of $0.75 were up 32% from the year-ago quarter. Strong 27% year-over-year revenue growth and a lower provision for credit losses were partly offset by higher expenses.

United’s return on assets was 1.29%, or 1.33% on an operating basis, up from 0.67% and 1.01%, respectively for the third quarter of 2024. Return on common equity was 9.2% and return on tangible common equity on an operating basis was 13.6%. On a pre-tax, pre-provision basis, operating return on assets was 1.83% for the quarter. At quarter-end, tangible common equity to tangible assets was 9.71%, up 26 basis points from the second quarter.

Chairman and CEO Lynn Harton stated, “We are proud of our third quarter financial results. Our teams drove solid loan and deposit growth as well as healthy margin expansion.  These actions resulted in meaningful improvement in our return on assets and return on tangible common equity. Tangible book value per share grew by $0.59 from the second quarter – an 11% annualized rate.  Loans grew by $254 million, or 5.4% annualized, while customer deposits, excluding seasonal outflow of public funds, were up $137 million or 2.6% annualized. Non-interest bearing deposits, excluding public funds, grew at an annualized rate of 4.7%.  Operating efficiency and operating leverage also both continued their improving trend.”

Harton continued, “I want to thank our outstanding team members across the bank for continuing to deliver not only great financial results, but also exceptional customer service and an atmosphere of trust and caring that makes United a great place to work.”

Net charge-offs were $7.7 million or 0.16% annualized of average loans, down two basis points from the second quarter. Nonperforming assets were 0.35% of total assets, up slightly from 0.30% for the second quarter. Provision for credit losses improved by $3.9 million from the second quarter. As of September 30, the allowance for credit losses represents 1.19% of loans, down slightly from 1.21% at June 30.

  • EPS of $0.70 was up $0.32 on a GAAP basis compared to third quarter 2024, and EPS of $0.75 was up $0.18, or 32%, on an operating basis; EPS up $0.07 compared to the second quarter on a GAAP basis and up $0.09, or 14%, on an operating basis

  • Net interest margin of 3.58% increased by eight basis points from the second quarter, reflecting a lower cost of funds and improving asset mix

  • Noninterest expenses were up $2.9 million compared to the second quarter on a GAAP basis and up $4.3 million on an operating basis, primarily driven by performance-based incentives

(1) Interest revenue on tax-exempt securities and loans includes a taxable-equivalent adjustment to reflect comparable interest on taxable securities and loans. The FTE adjustment totaled $1.04 million and $1.09 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The tax rate used to calculate the adjustment was 25%, reflecting the statutory federal income tax rate and the federal tax adjusted state income tax rate.
(2) Included in the average balance of loans outstanding are loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued and loans that are held for sale.
(3) Unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities, including those related to the transfer from AFS to HTM, have been reclassified to other assets. Pretax unrealized losses of $223 million in 2025 and $295 million in 2024 are included in other assets for purposes of this presentation.
(4) Net interest margin is taxable equivalent net interest revenue divided by average interest-earning assets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release, including the accompanying financial statement tables, contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. This financial information includes certain operating performance measures, which exclude merger-related and other charges that are not considered part of recurring operations, such as “noninterest income – operating”, “noninterest expense - operating”, “operating net income,” “pre-tax, pre-provision income,” “operating net income per diluted common share,” “operating earnings per share,” “tangible book value per common share,” “operating return on common equity,” “operating return on tangible common equity,” “operating return on assets,” “return on assets - pre-tax, pre-provision - operating,” “return on assets - pre-tax, pre-provision,” “operating efficiency ratio,” and “tangible common equity to tangible assets.” These non-GAAP measures are included because United believes they may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating United’s underlying performance trends. These measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP are included with the accompanying financial statement tables.

Caution About Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In general, forward-looking statements usually may be identified through use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “estimate,” “predict,” “continue” and “potential,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts and represent management’s beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed; they are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that change over time and could cause actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to general competitive, economic, political, regulatory and market conditions. Further information regarding additional factors which could affect the forward-looking statements contained in this press release can be found in the cautionary language included under the headings “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in United’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and other documents subsequently filed by United with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Many of these factors are beyond United’s ability to control or predict. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, shareholders and investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this communication, and United undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for United to predict their occurrence or how they will affect United.

United qualifies all forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
