Insights

FUNC posted strong Q2 results with 22.4% year-over-year earnings growth driven by expanding net interest margin and efficient cost controls.

First United Corporation delivered $6.0 million in net income for Q2 2025, representing a 22.4% increase from the $4.9 million reported in Q2 2024. Diluted earnings per share reached $0.92, up from $0.75 in the year-ago quarter. This performance was primarily driven by an expanding net interest margin, which reached 3.65% on a tax-equivalent basis - a key profitability metric that reflects the bank's successful navigation of the interest rate environment.

The core earnings improvement stems from a $1.5 million increase in net interest income year-over-year, as the bank benefited from both loan growth and yield expansion. The average loan portfolio increased by $74.1 million compared to Q2 2024, while loan yields improved by 26 basis points, demonstrating pricing power in their lending activities. Remarkably, the bank achieved this growth while maintaining disciplined credit quality, evidenced by the $0.3 million reduction in loan loss provisions compared to the same quarter last year.

On the balance sheet side, total assets reached $2.0 billion, with gross loans increasing by $21.7 million since year-end 2024. Commercial real estate led growth at $24.4 million, while consumer loans declined by $3.4 million. The $65.1 million in new commercial loan production during the quarter, combined with a $32.3 million commercial pipeline and $47.0 million in unfunded construction commitments, indicates healthy demand for credit despite the elevated rate environment. Meanwhile, deposit growth of $39.4 million since December 2024 shows the bank is effectively gathering funds to support lending activities.

The bank's profitability metrics are impressive, with annualized Return on Average Assets at 1.20% and Return on Average Equity at 12.78% for the first half of 2025. The management team also maintained their shareholder focus by declaring a $0.22 per share quarterly dividend. While operating expenses increased by $0.6 million year-over-year, this was primarily due to strategic investments in data processing, professional services, and one-time OREO (Other Real Estate Owned) expenses rather than core overhead inflation.

OAKLAND, Md., July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- First United Corporation (the "Corporation", "we", "us", and "our") (NASDAQ: FUNC), a bank holding company and the parent company of First United Bank & Trust (the "Bank"), today announced financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025.  Consolidated net income was $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, or $0.92 per diluted common share, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.75 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2024 and $5.8 million, or $0.89 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2025.  Net income for the first six months of 2025 was $11.8 million, or $1.81 per diluted common share, compared to $8.6 million, or $1.31 per diluted common share, for the same period of 2024.  Annualized Return on Average Assets and Return on Average Equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 were 1.20% and 12.78%, respectively.

Asset Quality

The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was $19.0 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $17.9 million at June 30, 2024 and $18.2 million at December 31, 2024.  The provision for credit losses was $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2025.  The decreased provision expense recorded in the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to $1.1 million in charge-offs related to one non-accrual commercial loan relationship that occurred in 2024. The increase in provision expense compared to the linked quarter was due to an increase of $22.6 in unfunded loan commitments quarter over quarter.  Asset quality remained strong during the second quarter of 2025.  Net charge-offs of $0.2 million were recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to net charge-offs of $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.  The ratio of the ACL to loans outstanding has been consistent at  1.27% at June 30, 2025 compared to1.25% at March 31, 2025 and 1.26% at June 30, 2024.

The ratio of net charge offs to average loans was 0.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 0.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.  The commercial and industrial portfolio had net charge offs of 0.25%  and 0.89% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.  This shift was due primarily to charge offs of equipment loan balances on one non-accrual commercial relationship during 2024.  The acquisition and development portfolio had net recoveries of 0.13% and 0.01% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.  This shift was due primarily to recoveries recognized in 2025 related to one relationship that was previously charged off in 2021.  The decrease in net charge offs in consumer loans in the first six months of 2025 was primarily driven by approximately $0.3 million in charge offs of demand deposit balances during the first quarter of 2024.  Details of the ratios, by loan type, are shown below.  Our special assets team continues to actively collect on charged-off loans, resulting in overall low net charge-off ratios.

Non-accrual loans totaled $3.8 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 2024.  The decrease in non-accrual balances at June 30, 2025 was related to principal reductions. 

Non-accrual loans that have been subject to partial charge-offs totaled $0.7 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.  Loans secured by 1-4 family residential real estate properties in the process of foreclosure totaled $0.1 million and $1.6 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.  As a percentage of the loan portfolio, accruing loans past due 30 days or more was 0.27% at June 30, 2025 compared to 0.32% at December 31, 2024 and 0.26% as June 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)

Reconciliation of as reported (GAAP) and non-GAAP financial measures














The following tables below provide a reconciliation of certain financial measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") (as reported) and non-GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company's management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a greater understanding of the Company's operating results in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP. While management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance, this information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following non-GAAP financial measures exclude accelerated depreciation expenses related to the branch closures.
