United Bancshares, Inc.
Quarterly Report
June 30, 2026

Shareholders, Clients, and Team Members:

I am pleased to report that the Company had a strong first half of 2026. During the second quarter, the Company made several decisions to reposition the balance sheet and leverage additional capital to enhance earnings and provide capital for future opportunities.

To accomplish these goals, the Company issued $30 million in subordinated debt and subsequently transferred $27 million to Union Bank, its wholly owned subsidiary. The Bank leveraged that capital into approximately $250 million in increased investment security balances to generate additional net interest income. We used several balance sheet liability funding structures and purchased derivatives to keep the bank's interest rate risk profile consistent with its pre-leverage balance sheet position. The strategy will allow for a cost-effective deleveraging approach if capital is needed for growth or expansion. In conjunction with that strategy, the Bank sold approximately $40 million in investment securities for a one-time pre-tax loss of $3.8 million and invested those funds in higher-yielding investments. While this loss negatively affected the quarter it positions the Company for increased earnings potential and flexibility, with capital available for future opportunities.

Financial Performance Highlights. As a result of these decisions and continued growth in core relationships, the Bank reported net income and return on tangible capital of $1.7 million ($.61/share) and 8.3% for the second quarter of 2026, and $5.3 million ($1.94/share) and 13.1% for the first half of 2026, respectively. With the exclusion of the investment securities loss and any net margin from the leverage strategy, management estimates that the Company would have generated approximately $4.5 million ($1.64/share) for the second quarter. During the first half of 2026, the Company reported $38.4 million in loan growth (9.30% annualized) and $28.7 million in core deposit growth (5.85% annualized). Including brokered deposits ($41.9 million), a reduction in state deposits from Home Buyer Plus (-$8.2 million), an increase in state deposits from the Buckeye Business Advantage ($20.5 million), and a large, short-term commercial deposit ($51.0 million), reported deposits increased $133.8 million. Net interest margin also improved to 4.0% from 3.71%  compared to the second quarter of 2025. While credit quality remained stable, the Company did allocate $101,000 to provision for credit losses primarily as the result of the noted loan growth.

Share Repurchase Program. As the Company continues to report positive movement in many of our financial metrics, we continue to believe that repurchasing our shares at appropriate levels brings long-term value to our shareholders. Throughout the first half of 2026, UBOH shares closed on the OTCQX market at an average price of $37.49 per share and closed the second quarter at $38.00 per share. If your investment strategy has changed or you would simply like to use your capital for another purpose, we encourage you to contact the Company. By contacting us directly, you may benefit from a negotiated price, avoid brokerage commissions or fees, and experience a faster and simpler transaction process. Any share repurchase is entirely voluntary for both the shareholder and the Company. If you are interested in discussing a potential repurchase of your shares, please contact me directly:
