FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UNIVEST CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA - UNIVEST
BANK AND TRUST CO. - REPORTS FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

SOUDERTON, Pa., April 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 ended March 31, 2016. Univest reported net income of $7.3 million or $0.37 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, a 19% increase from reported net income of $6.1 million or $0.31 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 included $220 thousand of acquisition-related and integration costs associated with the pending merger with Fox Chase Bancorp, or $0.01 diluted earnings per share on a tax affected basis. Excluding these costs, net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, would have been $7.5 million or $0.38 diluted earnings per share. The quarter ended March 31, 2015 included $1.8 million of integration and acquisition-related costs associated with Valley Green Bank or $0.06 diluted earnings per share on a tax affected basis. Excluding these costs, net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 would have been $7.3 million or $0.37 diluted earnings per share.

Loans
Gross loans and leases were $2.2 billion at March 31, 2016, an increase of $4.2 million from December 31, 2015. Consistent with prior years, sluggish economic growth led to flat funded loan growth in the first quarter, however, loan activity did increase during the quarter leading to growth in our loan pipeline. Compared to March 31, 2015, loans grew $139.4 million or 7%, primarily in commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans. The growth in loans from March 31, 2015 resulted from new and existing customer relationships as economic conditions improved while interest rates remain at historical lows, lending team additions and market disruption created by other bank acquisitions.





 
Deposits
Total deposits declined $60.0 million or 3% from December 31, 2015, primarily due to a decrease in public funds. Deposits grew $79.5 million or 4% from March 31, 2015, primarily due to increases in both non-interest bearing and interest bearing demand deposits and savings deposits, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits.
 
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income of $23.4 million for the first quarter of 2016 remained consistent with the same period in 2015. The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the first quarter of 2016 was 3.90%, compared to 3.80% for the fourth quarter of 2015 and 4.12% for the first quarter of 2015. Increases in net interest income from the comparable period in the prior year, due to loan growth, were partially offset by reductions in loan rates and a decrease in the net accretion of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments related to the Valley Green Bank acquisition (the favorable impact of the acquisition accounting adjustments was two basis points for the first quarter of 2016 compared to nine basis points for the first quarter of 2015). In addition, the subordinated debt issuance for $50 million on March 30, 2015 increased funding costs by 14 basis points in the first quarter of 2016 from the same period in 2015.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $14.0 million, an increase of $525 thousand or 4% from the first quarter of 2015. Insurance commission and fee income increased $412 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, primarily due to an increase in contingent commission income and commercial premiums. Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) income increased $117 thousand or 33% mainly due to the purchase of policies totaling $8.0 million during the third quarter of 2015 and the transfer of policies totaling $9.8 million during 2015 to a higher yielding account structure. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $94 thousand or 3% in investment advisory commission and fee income primarily resulting from the repricing of asset management fees in our municipal pension business due to competitive pressures in the second quarter of 2015.
 
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $26.9 million, a decrease of $472 thousand or 2%, compared to the first quarter of 2015. Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2016 included $220 thousand of acquisition-related and integration costs associated with the pending merger with Fox Chase Bancorp. Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2015 included $1.8 million of acquisition-related and integration costs related to the Valley Green Bank acquisition. Salaries and benefit expense increased $868 thousand for the quarter, primarily attributable to additional staff hired to support revenue generation across all business lines. This increase was partially offset by higher deferred loan origination costs.






Asset Quality and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Non-accrual loans and leases, including non-accrual troubled debt restructured loans, were $13.5 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $14.2 million at December 31, 2015 and $18.6 million at March 31, 2015. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $1.5 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $802 thousand for the first quarter of 2015. Non-accrual loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment was 0.62% at March 31, 2016 compared to 0.65% at December 31, 2015 and 0.91% at March 31, 2015. The provision for loan and lease losses was $326 thousand for the first quarter of 2016, down from $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2015 as asset quality continues to improve; both qualitative factors and historical loss factors have improved.

The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment was 0.75% at March 31, 2016, compared to 0.81% at December 31, 2015 and 1.02% at March 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 0.86% at March 31, 2016, compared to 0.94% at December 31, 2015 and 1.26% at March 31, 2015. The allowance for loan and lease losses to nonaccrual loans and leases held for investment equaled 122.03% at March 31, 2016, compared to 124.29% at December 31, 2015 and 112.52% at March 31, 2015.

Capital
Univest continues to remain well-capitalized at March 31, 2016. Total risk-based capital at March 31, 2016 was 13.47%, well in excess of the regulatory minimum for well-capitalized status of 10%.

Dividend
On February 24, 2016, Univest declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share, payable on April 1, 2016. This represented a 4.08% annualized yield based on the closing price of Univest’s stock on the date the dividend was paid.

(1) This consolidated selected financial data schedule contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The management of Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Corporation's performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the impact of the specified items, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results of the Corporation.
