FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UNIVEST CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA - UNIVEST
BANK AND TRUST CO. - REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END EARNINGS

SOUDERTON, Pa., January 27, 2016 - Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania (“Univest” or "Corporation") (NASDAQ: UVSP), parent company of Univest Bank and Trust Co. ("Bank") and its insurance, investments and equipment financing subsidiaries, today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. Univest reported net income of $7.2 million or $0.37 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, a 38% increase from reported net income of $5.2 million or $0.32 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $27.3 million or $1.39 diluted earnings per share, a 23% increase in net income compared to $22.2 million or $1.37 diluted earnings per share for the comparable period in the prior year. The quarter and year-to-date financial results include the Valley Green Bank acquisition which Univest completed on January 1, 2015 and now operates as Valley Green Bank, a Division of the Bank (“Valley Green Bank”). The results for the year ended December 31, 2015 included $2.0 million of integration and acquisition-related costs associated with Valley Green Bank, incurred during the first and second quarters, or $0.07 diluted earnings per share on a year-to-date tax affected basis. The fourth quarter and year-to-date results also include $540 thousand of acquisition-related costs associated with the pending acquisition of Fox Chase Bancorp, or $0.03 diluted earnings per share on a tax affected basis. Lastly, the results for the year ended December 31, 2015 also included $1.6 million of restructuring charges incurred in the second quarter, related to the consolidation of six financial centers in September 2015 under the Bank's optimization plan or $0.05 diluted earnings per share on a tax affected basis. Excluding these costs, net income for the year ended December 31, 2015, would have been $30.1 million or $1.54 diluted earnings per share.








Loans
Gross loans and leases increased $552.4 million from December 31, 2014, including $380.9 million of loans acquired from Valley Green Bank. Organic loan growth was 11% from December 31, 2014. The growth in loans was primarily in commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans. Gross loans and leases increased $81.2 million from September 30, 2015 mainly due to growth in commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans. Organic loan growth was 4% (15% annualized) from September 30, 2015. The growth in loans during the year resulted from new and existing customer relationships as economic conditions continue to improve while interest rates remain at historical lows, lending team additions and market disruption created by other bank acquisitions.
 
Deposits
Total deposits increased $533.0 million from December 31, 2014, primarily due to $385.9 million of deposits acquired from Valley Green Bank and an increase in public funds.

Borrowings
Borrowings at December 31, 2015 included $50 million in aggregate principal amount fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes issued in a private placement transaction to institutional accredited investors completed on March 30, 2015. The subordinated notes have a five-year, fixed rate of 5.10% and thereafter a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.544%, until the maturity date of March 30, 2025 or any early redemption date.
 
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income increased $5.4 million to $23.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 from the same period in 2014. Net interest income increased $21.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the prior year. The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 3.80%, compared to 3.89% for the third quarter of 2015 and 3.78% for the fourth quarter of 2014. The net interest margin in the fourth quarter was impacted by excess cash (3 basis points) as the Bank grew deposits in advance of anticipated loan growth. For the year, the net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis was 3.96% compared to 3.87% in 2014. The increase in net interest income during 2015 was mainly due to the impact of the Valley Green Bank acquisition, which included the average net interest-earning assets acquired and the net accretion of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments (the impact of the acquisition accounting adjustments was four basis points for the fourth quarter of 2015 and nine basis points for the year ended December 31, 2015). The subordinated debt issuance increased funding costs by 14 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 10 basis points for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparable periods in the prior year.








Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $13.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million or 10% from the fourth quarter of 2014. Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $52.9 million, an increase of $4.3 million or 9% from the prior year. Insurance commission and fee income increased $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to the acquisition of Sterner Insurance on July 1, 2014. The net gain on mortgage banking activities increased $392 thousand for the quarter and $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, mainly due to an increase in purchase volume. Funded first mortgage volume for the quarter increased $4.8 million or 11%, and $72.5 million or 55% for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same periods in 2014. In addition, the net gain on sales of investment securities increased $619 thousand for the quarter and $630 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in net gains on sales of investment securities is attributable to the Corporation's disciplined approach to evaluating market conditions for potential sales and timing of reinvestment. These favorable increases were partially offset by a decline in investment advisory commission and fee income of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily related to the fourth quarter of 2014 divestiture of approximately $375 million in marginally profitable assets under the supervision of independent consultants.
 
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $26.0 million, an increase of $3.5 million or 15%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $105.5 million, an increase of $18.3 million or 21% from the prior year. Non-interest expense was impacted by the Valley Green Bank acquisition which included integration and acquisition-related costs totaling $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $540 thousand in acquisition-related charges associated with the pending acquisition of Fox Chase Bancorp. Salaries and benefit expense increased $2.5 million for the quarter and $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily attributable to the Valley Green Bank acquisition, additional staff hired to support revenue generation, increased pension plan expense and bonus accruals. The Sterner Insurance acquisition also impacted year-to-date salaries and benefits expense. This increase was partially offset by higher deferred loan origination costs. Premises and equipment expenses increased $529 thousand for the quarter and $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, mainly due to the Valley Green Bank acquisition and increased investments in computer equipment and software.

In addition, non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 included restructuring charges of $1.6 million recognized during the second quarter related to the consolidation of six financial centers in September 2015 under the Bank's optimization plan. The projected annualized savings from these consolidations is $1.9 million.






Asset Quality and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Non-accrual loans and leases, including non-accrual troubled debt restructured loans, were $14.2 million at December 31, 2015 compared to $20.8 million at September 30, 2015 and $17.3 million at December 31, 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2015, two non-accrual construction loans in loans held for sale were sold at their carrying amounts for $4.0 million in accordance with the agreement entered into during the second quarter of 2015. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $1.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $7.4 million in the prior year. Non-accrual loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases (held for investment and nonaccrual loans held for sale) were 0.65% at December 31, 2015 compared to 0.99% at September 30, 2015 and 1.07% at December 31, 2014. The provision for loan and lease losses was $917 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $648 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2014. The provision for loan and leases losses was $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $3.6 million in the prior year.

The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment was 0.81% at December 31, 2015, compared to 0.89% at September 30, 2015 and 1.27% at December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2015, the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment, excluding loans acquired in the Valley Green Bank acquisition which were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date, was 0.94%. The allowance for loan and lease losses to nonaccrual loans and leases held for investment equaled 124.29% at December 31, 2015, compared to 110.58% at September 30, 2015 and 119.18% at December 31, 2014.

Capital
Univest continues to remain well-capitalized at December 31, 2015. Univest adopted the new Basel III regulatory capital rules during the first quarter of 2015 under the transition rules. Total risk-based capital at December 31, 2015 under Basel III was 13.32%, well in excess of the regulatory minimum for well-capitalized status of 10%.

Dividend
On November 25, 2015, Univest declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share, payable on January 4, 2016. This represented a 3.91% annualized yield based on the closing price of Univest’s stock on the date the dividend was paid.
