Company reports profitable quarter and full year
 
Quarterly revenues reach highest level of 2011
 
Increasing core earnings
 
Improving asset quality trends

 
ANN ARBOR, MI – United Bancorp, Inc. (UBMI.ob) reported consolidated net income of $2.3 million, or $0.16 per share of common stock, for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to a consolidated net loss of $427,000, or $0.11 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company’s net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $917,000, improving from a net loss of $3.7 million for the same period of 2010. After accounting for preferred stock dividends, earnings (loss) per share was ($0.02) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and ($0.89) per share for the same period of 2010.

Robert K. Chapman, President and Chief Executive Officer of United Bancorp, Inc. (“United” or the “Company”), noted that the fourth quarter of 2011 represented a significant improvement compared to the prior quarter, and helped the Company to achieve profitability for the year ended December 31, 2011. Chapman commented that the fourth quarter improvements in earnings levels, capital levels and lower levels of loan loss provision were all positive contributors to the Company’s financial results.

The Company’s core earnings for the fourth quarter of 2011, as measured by its pre-tax, pre-provision return on average assets, were at the highest quarterly level of the year. United’s pre-tax, pre-provision return on average assets of 1.59% for the fourth quarter of 2011 was up from 1.19% for the previous quarter and 1.44% for the full year of 2011. Mr. Chapman indicated that United’s four business lines – banking, wealth management, mortgage and structured finance – continued to make solid contributions to the Company’s profitability. The diversity in United’s revenue stream has resulted in noninterest income that represented 37.6% of the Company’s net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 36.4% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

The Company’s provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $250,000, compared to $4.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s provision for loan losses of $12.2 million was down significantly from $21.5 million for the same period of 2010. At the same time, the Company’s nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets at December 31, 2011 were at their lowest levels since the second quarter of 2009.

Mr. Chapman announced that the Company opened its loan production office in Brighton, Michigan in December, 2011. He commented, “We are excited to establish a physical presence in Livingston County, which we believe will help us further expand the business relationships we have there and to build additional relationships. We have assembled a great team of experienced community financial services professionals from the area, and we look forward to building strong relationships with the Brighton community.” Mr. Chapman also announced that the Company will be opening a loan production office within the City of Monroe, Michigan sometime in the first half of 2012. This office will complement our Dundee, Michigan office and expands United’s footprint further in Monroe County.

Results of Operations

The Company achieved consolidated net income of $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, bringing full year net income to $917,000 for 2011, improving from a full year loss of $3.7 million in 2010. The Company’s return on average assets for 2011 was 1.03% and 0.10%, respectively, for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2011, compared to -0.20% and -0.42%, respectively, for the same periods of 2010. Return on average shareholders’ equity for 2011 of 9.89% and 0.98%, respectively, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, was up from -2.12% and -4.66% for the same periods of 2010.

Increased levels of net interest income and noninterest income in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to each of the first three quarters of 2011 resulted in the highest quarterly level of net revenues since the third quarter of 2010. Net interest margin improved to 3.67% for the fourth quarter of 2011, up from 3.58% for the third quarter of 2011, and was higher than the full year 2011 net interest margin of 3.64%. At the same time, the twelve-month net interest margin of 3.64% was down from 3.79% for 2010, as a result of a decline in loan balances and continued elevated levels of investments and short-term liquid assets, and in spite of a relatively large increase in non-interest bearing deposits.

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2011 reached its highest level of the year, at $4.6 million, bringing full year 2011 noninterest income to $17.2 million. While income from loan sales and servicing declined in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter of 2010, it was at the highest quarterly level of 2011. Total noninterest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 improved by $913,000, or 5.6%, in 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010. Most categories of noninterest income contributed to this improvement, while deposit service charges continued the decline noted over the past two years.

Total noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2011 was up 7.2% from the same quarter of 2010, but decreased by 3.0% compared to the third quarter of 2011. Noninterest expense for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011 was up 6.5% compared to the same period of 2011. The largest dollar amount of increase for 2011 was in salaries and employee benefits. The increase in compensation expenses reflect, in part, the reinstatement of the Company’s match portion of its 401(k) plan effective January 1, 2011, increased health and life insurance premiums, and continued higher levels of commissions and other compensation costs related to the generation of income from loan sales and servicing. In addition, the Company has increased its staffing levels modestly to accommodate its future anticipated growth, and salary increases were reinstated effective April 1, 2011. The Company did not pay increases to its employees in 2009 or 2010, and no cash bonuses were paid or accrued under our bonus plans in 2009, 2010 or 2011. Expenses relating to ORE properties, and attorney and other professional fees reflect costs related to the Company’s credit quality concerns. Expenses in those categories increased in the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, while the fourth quarter 2011 expenses decreased from those experienced in the third quarter of 2011.

The Company’s provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $250,000, down from $4.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. This significantly reduced level of provision for loan losses is a result of a decline in nonperforming loans, a reduction in nonperforming asset formation, and a slowdown in loan rating downgrades. In addition, the Company received appraisals during the fourth quarter of 2011 on certain previously impaired loans, and adjusted internal valuations of collateral as appropriate. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, United’s provision for loan losses of $12.2 million was down 43.6% from $21.5 million for the same period of 2010.
 
Balance Sheet

Total consolidated assets of the Company were $885.0 million at December 31, 2011, up from $861.7 million at December 31, 2010. Gross portfolio loans of $563.7 million decreased by 2.4% in the fourth

quarter of 2011 and 4.8% over the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011 as a result of stagnant loan demand, charge-offs and the Company’s effective use of loan sales to mitigate credit and interest rate risk. The Company generally sells its fixed rate long-term residential mortgages on the secondary market, and retains adjustable rate mortgages in its loan portfolio. While the Company’s gross portfolio loans have declined by $28.3 million, or 4.8%, since December 31, 2010, the balance of loans serviced for others has increased by $80.1 million, or 12.2%, during the same period.

The Company continued to hold elevated levels of investments, federal funds sold and cash equivalents in order to protect the balance sheet during this prolonged period of economic uncertainty. United’s balances in federal funds sold and other short-term investments were $91.8 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $95.6 million at December 31, 2010. Securities available for sale of $173.2 million at December 31, 2011 were up 39.1% from December 31, 2010 levels, as the Company has begun to deploy some of its liquidity into investments.

Total deposits of $764.9 million at December 31, 2011 were up $30.9 million, or 4.2%, from $734.0 million at December 31, 2010, with non-interest bearing balances making up the greatest portion of the increase. The majority of the Company’s deposits are derived from core client sources, relating to long-term relationships with local individual, business and public clients. Public clients include local government and municipal bodies, hospitals, universities and other educational institutions. As a result of its strong core funding, the Company’s cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.95% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, down from 1.27% for the same period of 2010.

Asset Quality

The Company’s total nonperforming loans were $25.8 million at December 31, 2011, down 11.8% from December 31, 2010, and are at the lowest level in more than two years. Loan workout and collection efforts continue with all delinquent clients, in an effort to bring them back to performing status.

The Company’s ratio of allowance for loan losses to total portfolio loans at December 31, 2011 was 3.66%, and covered 80.0% of nonperforming loans, compared to 4.25% and 86.0%, respectively, at December 31, 2010. The Company’s allowance for loan losses has decreased by $4.5 million over the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, as the Company realized losses for which it had previously provided for in its allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs of $16.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 were 1.8% above levels experienced in the same period of 2010.

Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $4.0 million, most of which represented specific reserves which had been provided for in previous quarters. These charge-offs, combined with minimal nonperforming asset formation, resulted in nonperforming assets of 3.33% of assets as of December 31, 2011, compared with 3.89% at December 31, 2010.

Capital Management

Under the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation (“OFIR”), United Bank & Trust (the “Bank”) is required, among other things, to have and maintain its Tier 1 leverage capital ratio at a minimum of 9% for the duration of the MOU, and to maintain its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets at a minimum of 12% for the duration of the MOU. In December, 2010, the Company closed its public offering of common stock. As a result of the additional capital, the Bank was in compliance with the capital requirements of its MOU with the FDIC and OFIR at December 31, 2010, March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 8.88%, and its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 14.47%. As a result of the strong earnings in the fourth quarter, along with a capital infusion of $500,000 by the Company, the Bank was once again in compliance with the capital requirements of its MOU. At December 31, 2011, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 9.20%, and its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 15.49%.

(1)
In an attempt to evaluate the trends of net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense, the Company calculates pre-tax, pre-provision income (“PTPP Income”) and pre-tax, pre-provision return on average assets (“PTPP ROA”). PTPP Income adjusts net income by the amount of the Company’s federal income tax (benefit) and provision for loan losses, which is excluded because its level is elevated and volatile in times of economic stress. PTPP ROA measures PTPP Income as a percent of average assets. While this information is not consistent with, or intended to replace, presentation under generally accepted accounting principles, it is presented here for comparison.
 
Management believes that PTPP Income and PTPP ROA are useful and consistent measures of the Company’s earning capacity, as these financial measures enable investors and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle, particularly in times of economic stress.
   
(2) Market value per share is based on the last reported transaction on OTCBB before period end.
