PEOPLE’S UTAH BANCORP REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

American Fork, Utah, October 28, 2015 – People’s Utah Bancorp (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: PUB) today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2015 was $5.3 million compared to $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2015 and $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of 12.8% and 35.1%, respectively. Diluted earnings per share was $0.29 for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $0.30 for the second quarter of 2015 and $0.26 per diluted share in the comparable quarter in 2014.

“We are pleased with our third quarter operating results, bringing in higher net income for the quarter, and lowering our efficiency ratio below 60%. Our quarterly earnings per share and return on average equity increased over the prior year, even after absorbing a full quarter’s effect of the additional shares issued and equity raised from our initial public offering. Our quarterly net interest income was higher than in the prior year primarily due to higher average loan balances,” said Richard Beard, President and Chief Executive Officer of People’s Utah Bancorp.

Third Quarter Highlights

Highlights of the third quarter of 2015 include:

Net interest margin of 4.43%.

Return on average common equity of 10.21%.

Return on average assets of 1.40%.

Efficiency ratio of 57.93%.

Gross loans at quarter end grew 10.9% compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Deposits at quarter end grew 11.5% compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per common share.

Earnings Summary

The increase in net income for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2015 was due primarily to a $1.1 million increase in the net interest income after provision for loan losses, a $0.2 million decrease in non-interest income, and a $0.4 million increase in income tax expense. Non-interest expense was relatively flat with the second quarter of 2015.

The increase in net income compared to the third quarter of 2014 was due primarily to a $2.2 million increase in the net interest income after provision for loan losses, a $0.3 million increase in non-interest income, a $0.4 million increase in non-interest expense and a $0.7 million increase in income tax expense.

Return on average assets for the current quarter was 1.40% compared to 1.31% in the second quarter of 2015 and 1.15% in the third quarter of 2014. Return on average equity for the third quarter of 2015 was

10.21% compared to 10.88% in the second quarter of 2015 and 10.03% in the corresponding quarter in 2014. Future returns on average equity could be impacted by the additional $34.9 million of capital raised in the initial public offering in June 2015.

Consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased by 35.9% to $14.7 million compared to $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.90 per share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 from $0.72 per share for the comparable nine month period in 2014, an increase of 25.0%.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2015 increased $0.9 million from the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to an increase in loan yields principally from construction and land development loans, and increased average balances for loans of $13.9 million and $28.2 million in investment securities. Net interest margin remained relatively stable above 4.4% between the second and third quarters of 2015, even after the short-term investing of the net proceeds of $34.9 million from the Company’s initial public offering.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2015 increased $1.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to an increase in average loan balances of $110.9 million. Net interest margin increased 6 basis points to 4.43% for the third quarter 2015 from 4.37% for the same quarter in 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2015 decreased $0.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2015 and $0.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to an improvement in credit quality of the underlying loan portfolio. Non-performing loans were up $0.7 million from the second quarter of 2015, but decreased 25.9% to $9.4 million as of September 30, 2015 from $12.7 million as of September 30, 2014. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans was relatively flat in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter in 2014. Total net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2015 was approximately $0.3 million.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income of $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2015 decreased $0.2 million in the third quarter 2015 from the second quarter of 2015 due to a reduction in mortgage volumes. Year-to-date the Company has experienced higher mortgage banking income and residential mortgage loan volumes compared to the same period in 2014, however, this growth may not continue in future periods because the mortgage banking business has historically been a cyclical business.

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2015 increased $0.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2014 largely due to higher mortgage banking income from a higher volume of mortgage loans originated and sold to investors during the quarter. Year over year quarterly increases in other non-interest income of $0.1 million were offset by decreases in service charges on deposit accounts.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense remained fairly flat between the second and third quarters of 2015. Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2015 increased $0.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to $0.3 million of additional salaries and wages in 2015 resulting from higher incentive compensation, including higher commissions on increased mortgage volume. The number of average full-

time equivalent employees for the third quarter of 2015 was relatively stable with the same quarter in 2014. Merger-related expenses for the third quarter of 2014 were $0.1 million. No merger-related expenses were incurred in 2015.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was 35.1% compared to 34.4% in the second quarter of 2015 and 35.6% for the third quarter of 2014. The tax rate decreased in 2015 compared to the prior year due primarily to an increase in the portion of nontaxable income to taxable income and certain tax credits.

Loans and Credit Quality

Gross loans were relatively flat between the second and third quarters of 2015, but increased 10.9% to $993.5 million as of September 30, 2015 from $896.1 million as of September 30, 2014. Average loans for the third quarter of 2015 increased to $991.2 million from $977.3 million for the second quarter of 2015 and from $880.3 million in the third quarter of 2014.

At September 30, 2015, the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.64% compared to 0.62% as of June 30, 2015 and 0.93% as of September 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses to loans was 1.54% at September 30, 2015, 1.56% at June 30, 2015 and 1.61% at September 30, 2014.

Investment Securities

Investment securities at the end of the third quarter of 2015 increased 14.7% to $360.4 million compared to $314.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2015 and increased 5.1% from $342.9 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2014, reflecting the investment of net proceeds received from the Company’s initial public offering. Available-for-sale securities totaled $311.1 million at September 30, 2015 and held to maturity securities had an amortized cost of $49.3 million at September 30, 2015.

Deposits

Total deposits at September 30, 2015 increased by $58.1 million, or 4.6%, to $1.3 billion compared to June 30, 2015 and by $137.8 million, or 11.5% compared to September 30, 2014. These increases were primarily due to growth of the client base and new customers. Non-interest-bearing deposits increased to $428.9 million or 32% of total deposits as of September 30, 2015 compared to 28% as of September 30, 2014.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased to $206.6 million as of September 30, 2015 compared to $154.9 million as of September 30, 2014. The increase resulted primarily from (i) the successful initial public offering of 2.66 million common shares in June 2015, which provided net proceeds after offering expenses of $34.9 million, and (ii) net income during the intervening period net of cash dividends paid to shareholders.

Dividend

As previously announced on October 20, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share. The dividend will be payable to shareholders of record on October 30, 2015 and paid on November 12, 2015. The dividend payout ratio for earnings through the first nine months of 2015 was 20.3%.
