U & I Financial Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

LYNNWOOD, WA / ACCESSWIRE / July 27, 2023 / U & I Financial Corp. (OTCQX:UNIF), the holding company for UniBank, today reported quarterly earnings of $2.4 million or $0.44 per share in the second quarter, as compared to $2.6 million or $0.48 per share for the same quarter of 2022, decreasing by $265 thousand or $0.04 per share, primarily from attaining less Gain on Sale of SBA/USDA Loans.

As of June 30, 2023, Total Assets reached $607.2 million, increasing by $84.3 million or 16.1% from the year earlier period of $522.9 million. Net Loans ended at $482.1 million, increasing by $60.3 million or 14.3% from the year earlier period of $421.7 million. Finally, Total Deposits grew by $89.4 million or 20.9% to $516.9 million from the year earlier period of $427.5 million.

"Although we experienced a year-over-year quarterly earnings decline primarily caused by the decrease in the SBA loan demand, our earning assets have continued to grow, while diversifying out of the CRE concentration," said Peter Park, President and CEO. He added that, "In the foreseeable future, however, we anticipate slowdown in overall loan demand and ongoing compression of the Net Interest Margin. On the credit side, we are beginning to see signs of credit deterioration due to economic uncertainties as well as the increased loan payment burden of our variable rate borrowers. Although the current environment is not favorable to the community banking industry, we believe that we are strategically well positioned to sustain our commitment to creating shareholder value in the long run."
