FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UNIVEST FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

SOUDERTON, Pa., July 24, 2024 - Univest Financial Corporation (“Univest” or the "Corporation") (NASDAQ: UVSP), parent company of Univest Bank and Trust Co. (the "Bank") and its insurance, investments and equipment financing subsidiaries, announced net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $18.1 million, or $0.62 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $16.8 million, or $0.57 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

One-Time Items
The financial results for the quarter included tax-free bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") death benefit claims of $171 thousand, which represented $0.01 diluted earnings per share. The financial results for the second quarter of 2023 included a $1.3 million ($1.1 million after-tax), or $0.04 diluted earnings per share, restructuring charge associated with expense management strategies deployed in response to macroeconomic headwinds. Excluding these one-time items, diluted earnings per share was $0.61 for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

Loans
Gross loans and leases increased $105.8 million, or 1.6% (6.4% annualized), from March 31, 2024, and $117.6 million, or 1.8% (3.6% annualized), from December 31, 2023, primarily due to increases in commercial, commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans, partially offset by a decrease in construction loans.

Deposits and Liquidity
Total deposits increased $90.0 million, or 1.4% (5.6% annualized), from March 31, 2024, primarily due to increases in commercial and consumer deposits, partially offset by decreases in brokered and public funds deposits. Total deposits increased $119.5 million, or 1.9% (3.8% annualized), from December 31,


2023, primarily due to increases in commercial, consumer and brokered deposits, partially offset by a seasonal decrease in public funds deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 21.5% of total deposits at June 30, 2024, down from 21.9% at March 31, 2024. At June 30, 2024, unprotected deposits, which excludes insured, internal, and collateralized deposit accounts, represented 22.1% of total deposits, down from 22.3% at March 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, the Corporation reported on balance sheet cash and cash equivalents totaling $190.9 million. The Corporation and its subsidiaries had committed borrowing capacity of $3.6 billion at June 30, 2024, of which $2.3 billion was available. The Corporation and its subsidiaries also maintained uncommitted funding sources from correspondent banks of $459.0 million at June 30, 2024. Future availability under these uncommitted funding sources is subject to the prerogatives of the granting banks and may be withdrawn at will.

Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income of $51.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 decreased $3.3 million, or 6.1%, from the second quarter of 2023 and $440 thousand, or 0.9%, from the first quarter of 2024. The decreases in net interest income for both comparison periods reflects the continued pressure on the cost of deposits due to the shift of balances from lower to higher cost deposit products which has exceeded the increase in interest income from asset yield expansion and the increase in average interest-earning assets. However, we continue to see indicators of stabilization in cost of funds and funding mix.

Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.84% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 2.88% for the first quarter of 2024 and 3.14% for the second quarter of 2023. Excess liquidity reduced net interest margin by approximately two basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately three basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Excess liquidity had no impact on net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $21.0 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 5.8%, from the comparable period in the prior year.

Net gain on mortgage banking activities increased $671 thousand, or 64.6%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to increased salable volume. Investment advisory commission and fee income increased $530 thousand, or 11.3%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to increased assets under management driven by market appreciation and new customer relationships. Bank owned life insurance income increased $297 thousand, or 37.6%, for the quarter ended June 30,


2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the previously discussed death benefit claims. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $257 thousand, or 14.9%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to increased treasury management income.

Other service fee income decreased $274 thousand, or 8.3%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to reduced servicing fees resulting from the sale of the mortgage servicing rights in the first quarter of 2024 associated with $591.1 million of serviced loans.

Other income decreased $477 thousand, or 39.0%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Fees on risk participation agreements for interest rate swaps decreased $710 thousand due to reduced customer demand. Additionally, the second quarter of 2023 included a loss of $250 thousand on the sale of an interest in a shared national credit.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $48.7 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 2.2%, from the comparable period in the prior year.

As previously discussed, the second quarter of 2023 included restructuring charges of $1.3 million. Excluding restructuring charges, noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 increased $239 thousand, or 0.5%, from the comparable period in the prior year, which reflects the benefit of the various expense management strategies deployed during 2023.

Salaries, benefits and commissions increased $312 thousand, or 1.0%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to decreased capitalized compensation driven by lower loan production, partially offset by decreased salary expense due to staff reductions over the last twelve months.

Tax Provision
The effective income tax rate was 19.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to an effective tax rate of 19.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 reflected the benefits of tax-exempt income from investments in municipal securities and loans and leases. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was favorably impacted by proceeds from BOLI death benefits. Excluding these BOLI death benefits, the effective tax rate was 20.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.



Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
Nonperforming assets were $36.6 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $40.0 million at March 31, 2024 and $34.5 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease in nonperforming assets from March 31, 2024 was primarily due to pay-downs of $2.2 million on two nonaccrual construction loans to one borrower.

Net loan and lease charge-offs were $809 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.4 million and $512 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

The provision for credit losses was $707 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.4 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment was 1.28% at June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, and 1.30% at March 31, 2024.

Dividend and Share Repurchases
On July 24, 2024, Univest declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share to be paid on August 21, 2024 to shareholders of record as of August 7, 2024. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Corporation repurchased 190,808 shares of common stock at an average price of $20.93 per share.
